This patch changes the 'Allocator' interface to the use of 'Attempt'
return values instead of using exceptions for propagating errors.
To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original
exception-based interface - in particluar use cases where an 'Allocator'
is passed to the 'new' operator - the traditional 'alloc' is still
supported. But it existes merely as a wrapper around the new
'try_alloc'.
Issue #4324
The former use of Pthread conditionals did not cover the corner case of
early wakeups just before halting the CPU. These wakeups were simply
lost which resulted in sporadic halts of about 500 ms (the maximum timeout
of all halts in VirtualBox). RTSEMEVENTMULTI preserves early wakeups
and effectively prevents the CPU from halting.
Additionally, we now wakeup the target CPU on VMMR0_DO_GVMM_SCHED_POLL
and, thus, mimic the behavior of the original implementation slightly
better,
Slightly related to #4313
Explicitly, adapt to current framebuffer/window size after
initialization finished. This ensures the use of the correct framebuffer
dimensions in scenarios without a window manager.
Thanks to Raphael for the patch.
This patch replaces the 'Ram_allocator::alloc' RPC function by a
'try_alloc' function, which reflects errors as 'Attempt' return value
instead of an exception.

The commit avoids the race between checking for the NEM state and the decision
to notify (poke) the NEM backend (nem.cc).
- ever notify about POKE flag for remote vCPU
- check synchronized for NEM state
- store recheck flag and apply on next switch_to_hw
Issue #4313
Use 'StateChange' event to check for machine's 'PowerOff' state, close
Gui connections and submit exit signal to EP which in turns calls exit.

The new 'Env::try_session' method mirrors the existing 'Env::session'
without implicitly handling exceptions of the types 'Out_of_ram',
'Out_of_caps', 'Insufficient_ram_quota', and 'Insufficient_cap_quota'.
It enables runtime environments like init to reflect those exceptions to
their children instead of paying the costs of implicit session-quota
upgrades out of the own pocket.
By changing the 'Parent_service' to use 'try_session', this patch fixes
a resource-exhaustion problem of init in Sculpt OS that occurred when
the GPU multiplexer created a large batch of IO_MEM sessions, with each
session requiring a second attempt with the session quota upgraded by
4 KiB.
Issue #3767
There are some subtle incompatibilities in VirtualBox 6 with settings we
used in version 5. Therefore, the vbox6 package uses machine.vbox6 as
configuration file. An example configuration is provided by the
raw/vbox6 package.
Issue #4281
The service is loaded dynamically VBoxSharedClipboard.so at runtime. The
VFS configuration mounts the shared object at /VBoxSharedClipboard.so as
the file is checked by contrib code before loading. An init
configuration in pkg/vbox6/runtime illustrates this and how to re-label
the VBoxSharedClipboard.so ROM to its real name
virtualbox6-sharedclipboard.lib.so.
During Windows 10 boot with sequential block requests, the AHCI request
worker finished earlier than the EMT thread signals hEvtProcess and
begins waiting for hEvtProcessAck indefinitely. The timeouts helps to
survive this short phase.
A better solution would use conditional variables, which are not
provided in VirtualBox's runtime.
WARNING: BREAKS CONFIG COMPATIBILITY!
This commit changes the configuration interface of the NIC router in a way that
may break systems that use the component without proper adjustment!
How to adjust:
At each occurrence of the 'dns_server_from' attribute in a NIC router
configuration replace the attribute name with 'dns_config_from'. The attribute
value remains unaltered.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The new attribute name 'dns_config_from' reflects that also other aspects of
the DNS configuration of the denominated domain are used by the DHCP server
that holds the attribute. This commit is a preparation for forwarding also the
domain name (DHCP option 15) with the mechanism behind the attribute.

In ROM mode the global CapsLock state is controlled by the capslock ROM
by virtual KEY_CAPSLOCK events.
Guests are easily confused by spurious KEY_CAPSLOCK input events in
caps="rom" mode. These spurious events may reach the VMM if KEY_CAPSLOCK
is not pressed as first key in a combination and, therefore, is not
filtered as global key. We filter KEY_CAPSLOCK in ROM mode in the VMM
explicitly, but let it pass in non-ROM mode.
Per default RAW mode is used and CapsLock key events are sent unfiltered
to the guest.
