Prevent errors like follows.
error: invalid cast from type ‘size_t’ {aka ‘long unsigned int’} to type ‘__u64’ {aka ‘long long unsigned int’}
Issue #5431
Instead of freezing, return corresponding libusb error code if the
USB device got disconnected. Therefore, components using the library
can continue to work otherwise.

In Child::deliver_session_cap a signal to wakeup a service after
altering its session ROM was missing when the requesting client
that does not longer exist.

While implementing TSC calibration in #5215, the issue of properly serializing
TSC reads came up. Some learnings of the discussion were noted in #5430.
Using `cpuid` for serialization as in Trace::timestamp() is portable,
but will cause VM exits on VMX and SVM and is therefore unsuitable to
retain a roughly working calibration loop while running virtualized.
On the other hand on most AMD systems, dispatch serializing `lfence`
needs to be explicitly enabled via a non-architectural MSR.
Enable setting up dispatch serializing lfence on AMD systems and always
serialize rdtsc accesses in Hw::Tsc::rdtsc() for maximum reliability.
Issues #5215, #5430
Upto now, bootstrap used the Programmable Interval Timer to set a
suitable divider and determine the frequency of the Local APIC.
The PIT is not available on recent x86_64 hardware anymore.
Move Local APIC calibration to bootstrap and use the ACPI timer as a
reference. Clean up hw's timer implementation a little and disable the
PIT in bootstrap.
Fixes#5215
To get the Time Stamp Counter's frequency, hw relied on a complex and
incomplete algorithm.
Since this is a one-time initialization issue, move TSC calibration to
bootstrap and implement it using the ACPI timer.
Issue #5215
The accounting of caps for the UTCB allocation on base-hw puts pressure
on the out-of-ram/caps handling of Create_thread_result in the CPU
sampler. This patch implements the formerly missing error handling.
Issue #5408
* Move all Kernel::Signal_* structures to kernel/signal.*
* Remove return value of kill_signal_context, which wasn't evaluated
* Remove Kernel::Signal_context::can_kill
* Remove Kernel::Signal_context::can_submit
* Remove Kernel::Signal_receiver::can_add_handler
* Turn nullptr into cxx nullptr instead of just zero
* Turn boolean values into true/false instead of one/zero
* Always add to signal FIFO also if submit counter
cannot get increased enough

Instead of blocking in case of exceptions and MMU faults, delegate
the faulter's scheduling context to the assigned pager thread.
Fixgenodelabs/genode#5318
Instatiate a separate pager thread for each cpu core. Every time a pager
object gets managed by the Pager_entrypoint, assign it to the pager thread
on the same cpu core.

* Rename Kernel::Cpu_job to Kernel::Cpu_context (alias Kernel::Cpu::Context)
* State first Cpu affinity of Cpu::Context at construction time
* Move cpu affinity argument from kernel syscall create_thread to start_thread
* Ensure that Cpu pointer is always valid
Fixgenodelabs/genode#5319
In case invalid IRQ numbers are used (255 on x86), the IRQ session creation
request may be denied and the platform driver is killed because of the
uncatched exception, which must be avoided.
Issue #5406
This was a relic from a time where we dumped the page tables from NOVA
and therefore needed to attach the corresponding dataspaces.
