The former implementation relied on input drvdata always pointing to
struct hid_device, which is not true for Wacom touch devices (at least).
Now, we implement the input handler for devices providing LEDs
(evbit[EV_LED] set) only and use input_inject_event() to set the LED
states.
The frame-pointer-based backtrace does not work without enabling
-fno-omit-frame-pointer explicitly and in most cases leads to page
faults because non-pointer stack values are dereferenced during the
walk. The best we can do is to limit the backtrace walk to the stack of
the current thread to prevent page faults unrelated to the system state
without the use of the backtrace utility.
This commit introduces a printable Backtrace class usable in
Genode::log(), Genode::trace(), etc. The class is based on the new
function for_each_return_address(auto const &fn) that walks the stack in
its limits and calls fn() for each discovered return address on the
stack in the new os/include/os/backtrace.h. Archtecture-specific
stack-pointer retrieval and walk loops are implemented in dedicated
os/include/spec/<arch>/os/for_each_return_address.h files. Also, the
well-known Genode::backtrace() function (which logs the return-address
values) is provided for backwards compatibility.

The number of hash entries for TCP/UDP corresponds to the number of
sockets managed by the stack. In case there are more sockets than
entries available, buckets will be created to compensate for the lack of
space. The default values for TCP (524288) and UDP (65536) are meant for
the in kernel that manages all sockets of the user land and leads
to very large hash table allocations (>20MB) during initialization.
Since on Genode a component has its own instance of the IP stack or uses
the VFS server, we do not need these kind of large default settings.
issue #2181
The management of Linux page structs is now tied to the life time of DMA
buffers. Thus, page structs are created when a buffer is allocated and
deallocated only when a buffer is freed - not on lx_emul_mem_free()
because DMA buffers are cached. Page struct refcounting was entirely
reworked in lx_emul/shadow/mm/page_alloc.c.
Fixes#4809
The devio API in the Linux kernel promised to be a stable layer for our
USB host controller drivers, but the additional bookkeeping and dynamic
allocations increase CPU overhead in a way that we do not accept further.
Therefore, we go a step back and process DMA transactions directly in and
out of the packet stream from the clients.
Fixgenodelabs/genode#5071
Several DMA pools of the EHCI/UHCI USB host controller driver declare
that buffers should not cross 4K boundaries. If this property is not met
fatal errors like NMIs may happen during USB operation.
Discussed in issue #5000
Certain USB devices do not react anymore after an endpoint reset
in the use case of USB devices passed through to a virtual machine.
When investigating the only USB session client that needs the
flush transfers request - namely the Qemu xhci model used in
VirtualBox - there seems to be no need to reset the endpoint in fact.

USB devio splits large transaction into 16 KiB buffers in scatter-gather
lists. Unfortunately, this mechanism seems unreliable most certainly because
of issue #4809 "DDE Linux struct page object aliasing".

On x86, DMA buffers are actually always mapped as cached. We should
therefore actually ask for a cached buffer in order to avoid confusion.

The driver is superseded by the USB network driver (usb_net) which also
contains MBIM support for LTE modems previously provided by this
driver.

The drivers uses the 'virt_linux' api and the current lx_kit

issue #4958
NCM tries to batch TX packets using timeouts (500us) and does not send packets
before 3 packets are in the submit queue. Timeouts take milliseconds on
dde_linux which leads to delayed ACKs and poor performance for the RX case.
Therefore, we send small packets (<100 Bytes) immediately without batching (it
might be an ACK or last packet of a larger transfer).
issue #4958
The PinePhone Modems' CDC Ethernet Interface does not respond if RX/TX queue size
is greater 12 (experimentally determined), the default would be 60, meaning 60
RX Bulk URBs are sent at once to the device.

Several nightly network-related tests fail currently on sel4/pc because the
new e1000 NIC driver requires more capabilities. The "drivers nic" package
was already adapted to the new requirement but some tests fail to provide
enough caps to the corresponding sub system. This commit tries to fix all
remaining tests.
Ref #4923
* During a session-close, the device-specific usb task and driver data
gets freed. Part of it was the RPC data. To prevent use-after-free
turn it into a pointer and leave it on the stack of the caller thread
* During a device release, URBs discards, and reset operation the Linux task
might get blocked, and then a RPC caller task might return if the RPC
operation was marked as finished already, although it hasn't succeeded yet
* USB devio RESET has to be done before a device release to be effective
Fixgenodelabs/genode#4969
* Within flush_transfer of the USB session a given entrypoint gets
resetted, to be effective al related URBs need to be discarded first
* Discarding URBs shall be done in reverse order, like libusb is doing it,
where it warns about potential races otherwise
Ref genodelabs/genode#4969
* Allow support for kernel configurations without CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN_HIERARCHY
* Export `irq_domain` instantiated for driver-specific extensions of the irqchip

This commit extends the Lx_kit initialization function by passing in
a signal handler that is used to perform the normally occurring
scheduler execution and is a follow-up change for the decoupling
scheduler execution commit.
Instead of burying the signal handler in the 'Lx_kit::Scheduler'
object it is provided by the main object where the driver is free
to perform any additional step before or after executing the scheduler.

Since the wireless LAN driver is actually a 'Libc::Component' due to
its incorporation of the 'wpa_spplicant' application, we have to
intercept its construction because we have to initialize the Lx_kit
environment before any static ctors are executed. Most Linux initcalls
are implemented as ctors that will be otherwise implicitly executed
before the controll is given to us in 'Libc::Component::construct'.

Prevent missing new RPC calls handed over to a Linux task
of a corresponding usb-device, while that task blocked

Decoupling the scheduler execution can lead to missed interrupts
because the current implementation only handles one pending
interrupt and requires immediate processing.
This commit introduces a helper object that is used to capture
any occuring interrupts that are then handled consecutively.
Issue #4927.
Prior to this commit, whenever an external event occurred, for example
timer or interrupt, the corresponding I/O signal handler was triggered.
This handler unblocked the task waiting for the event and initiated the
immediate execution of all unblocked tasks. Since these tasks may hit
serialization points, e.g. synchronously waiting for packet stream
operations, that require handling of other I/O signals this leads to
nested execution. This, however, is not supported and mixes application
and I/O level signal handling.
The flagging of the scheduling intent is now decoupled from its
execution by using an application level signal handler that is run in
the context of the components main entrypoint. The I/O signal handler
now triggers the scheduling execution by sending a local signal to
the EP.
Since it might be necessary to execute a pending schedule from the EP
directly the scheduler is extended with the 'execute' member function
that performs the check that the scheduler is called from within the
EP and triggers the execution afterwards.
Issue #4927.
With these options enabled comparative testing between pc_linux drivers
and bzImages becomes much easier on EFI-only machines. The impact on the
actual Genode drivers is minimal.
USB devices that are never associated to client sessions lack
usb_per_dev_data (and a kernel thread). Therefore, the devices should be
discontinued directly on unplug as no URBs can be pending.

This back end can be used in place of the existing jitterentropy based

The implementation was already part of the Zynq's sd_card driver and

Issue #4861.
It turns out solely relying on the name of the compilation-unit
is not enough. In at least one multi-device driver, e.g. rtlwifi,
an equally called compilation-unit is found in several different
directories. There KBUILD_MODNAME is used to name the driver,
which fails later on as the driver framework refuses to register
an equally named driver twice.
Instead of only considering the name of the compilation-unit also
include the last element of the path to generate differentiating
KBUILD_MODNAME value.
