Session_requester inherits from Dynamic_rom_session::Content_producer
which specifies the Buffer_capacity_exceeded exception which is thrown
on insufficient buffer space.
The former use of 'arm_v7' as architecture was too unspecific. Depot
binary archives for Cortex-A8/A9 platforms should be generated for
the 'arm_v7a' architecture to define the required compile flags
(i.e., -march).
This patch sets the -march complile flag in spec/arm_v7a.mk, which
enables us to build depot archives for the 'arm_v7a' architecture.
It also removes copy-pasted comments that offer no valuable insights but
contain grammar errors.
On platforms that use the PIT timer driver, 'elapsed_ms' is pretty
inprecise/unsteady (up to 3 ms deviation) for a reason that is not
clearly determined yet. On Fiasco and Fiasco.OC, that use kernel timing,
it is the same. So, on these platforms, our locally interpolated time
seems to be fine but the reference time is bad. Until this is fixed, we
raise the error tolerance for these platforms in the run script.

Appending a suffix to report filenames was behavior inherited from
fs_log, it prevents creating files where directories need to be created
later. But unlike logs, only a subset of the hierarchy will report and
those that do append a component-local label, so the risk of collision
is low.
By removing the suffix fs_rom can serve reports back as ROM just as
report_rom does.

When building with multiple jobs, the 'Makefile' rule may be executed
before any of its sibling rules, which implicitly create the target
directory. In this case, the attempt to create the symlink for
'Makefile' fails and the 'build_bin_archive' aborts. Analogously to the
sibling rules, this fix creates the target directory as a side effect of
the 'Makefile' rule.
This patch makes the build step of the create tool conditional. If
merely creating api, src, pkg, or raw archives, the invocation of the
'build' tool can be skipped. Otherwise, the heap message for the 'build'
tool is displayed (because it is called w/o any arguments), which is
misleading to the user.
A bug in the timer-ticks-to-microseconds translation of the kernel timer
caused the user time to periodically get stuck for about 32 milliseconds
and then jump forward to the normal level again.

In the timeout framework, we maintain a translation factor value to
translate between time and timestamps. To raise precision we scale-up
the factor when we calculate it and scale-down the result of its
appliance later again. This up and down scaling is achieved through
left and right shifting. Until now, the shift width was statically
choosen. However, some platforms need a big shift width and others a
smaller one. The one static shift width couldn't cover all platforms
which caused overflows or precision problems.
Now, the shift width is choosen optimally for the actual translation
factor each time it gets re-calculated. This way, we can take care that
the shift always renders the best precision level without the risk for
overflows.

The result-buffer related members of the fast polling test are
the same for each buffered result type. Thus, we can make the
code easier by providing them through a struct.

This patch increases init's preserved RAM and capability quota to
account for a current limitation of init with respect to the creation of
sessions to parent services:
In contrast to regular routed services, sessions to parent services are
created via 'Env::session'. The implementation of 'Env::session'
automatically upgrades session quotas on demand, which is the desired
behavior for regular 'Connection' objects. However, for sessions
established on the behalf of init's children, we would need to reflect
the error condition to the child instead of resolving it locally within
init (by subsidizing the session with init's quota). This patch leaves
this issue unresolved but fixes the symptom for the bomb test. It is
meant as an interim solution until the handling of parent sessions is
revised.
This patch decouples the error handling of the quota transfers
and the actual session creation. In the previous version, an error in
the 'initiate_request' phase would leave the local scope via an
exception without disarming the transfer guard objects. This way,
the guard destructors would attempt the returning of session quota in
addition to the explicit call of '_revert_quota_and_destroy' as done in
the error handling of the 'initiate_request' operation.
In the presence of a session-creation error in the 'initiate_request'
phase, session quota would eventually be returned twice. This patch
removes the intertwined error handling of both phases in a way that the
guards of the first phase (quota transfer) are no longer present in the
second phase (initiate_request).
This patch makes sure that the initial PD session limit (as defined by
the client-provided session quota) is preserved over the entire lifetime
of the PD session. That means, it cannot be transferred to other PD
sessions. Otherwise, it may be impossive to hand back all the static
session quota to the PD-session client at session-destruction time
because parts of the initial quota would no longer belong to the
session.
Note that the initial limit can still be used for allocations within the
PD session as those allocations are automatically reverted at
session-destruction time.
The implementations of the lock and C++ guards tests depend on
thread-execution priorities, which produces false negatives of the whole
thread test on platforms without priority support.
On QEMU, NOVA uses the pretty unstable TSC emulation as primary time
source. Thus, timeouts do not trigger with the common precision (< 50
ms). Use an error tolerance of 200 ms for this platform constellation.

Apparently this construct leads to a compiler errors like
error: second operand to the conditional operator is of type ‘void’, but
the third operand is neither a throw-expression nor of type ‘void’
