This commit restores the diag feature for selecting diagnostic output of
services provided by core. This feature became unavailable with commit
"base: remove dependency from deprecated APIs", which hard-wired the
diag flag for core services to false.
To control this feature, three possible policies can be expressed in a
routing target of init's configuration:
* Forcing silence by specifying 'diag="no"'
* Enabling diagnostics by specifying 'diag="yes"'
* Forwarding the preference of the client by omitting the 'diag'
attribute

Clang correctly asserts this private member variable is not used
anywhere in the code. I'm not sure what the intention of the code is,
might be this is a part of some unfinished feature. This patch just does
the minimum amount of work to allow the code to build with clang. If
required I can also drop the parent_levels constructor argument and
clean up the call sites.
Issue #3950
The msg argument in Genode::Rpc_dispatcher::_read_arg is not used. GCC
does not care about this, but clang does and prints a warning regaring
this. Silence it by removing unused argument name.
fixup! base: Silence unused arg warning in rpc_server.h
The control area is constructed during session creation and the caller can
handle the Out_of_* exception by increasing the quota by the next attempt.

Instead of the generic name, call the PCI driver 'pci_audio_drv'.
This is preliminary clean-up work before introducing the USB audio
driver.
Issue #3929.
This path fixes a void cast used to silence unused return value warning.
Its a common pattern to use void cast to do that. The code uses void *
cast instead. It works for GCC, but clang complains about this.
Issue #3938
Clang is rather picky about this and prints the following warning when
compiling new_delete.cc:
error: function previously declared with an explicit exception
specification redeclared with an implicit exception specification
[-Werror,-Wimplicit-exception-spec-mismatch]
Issue #3938
This was discovered when building the code with clang instead of GCC. In
this setup the run/ping on base-hw/arm_v8a/virt_qemu would crash
on shutdown due to uncaught Deref_unconstructed_object exception thrown
for Genode::Reconstructible<Genode::Account<Genode::Ram_quota>>. The
specific instance throwing this exception was
Pd_session_component::_ram_account. My investigation exposed the
following problem:
1. The Pd_session_component has a _sliced_heap member backed by
_constrained_ram_alloc which in turn uses Pd_session_component itself
as its Ram_allocator.
2. When ~Pd_session_component is called it first destroys _ram_account,
followed by _signal_broker.
3. The signal broker holds a reference to
Pd_session_component::_sliced_heap as Signal_broker::_md_alloc.
4. The base-hw implementation of ~Signal_broker destroys some contexts
and does this by calling Genode::destroy on some slabs using the
_md_alloc (ref to Pd_session_component::_sliced_heap).
5. The Genode::Slab calls the Ram_allocator::free which ends up calling
Pd_session_component::free.
6. The Pd_session_component::free can among other things call replenish
method on Pd_session_component::_ram_account which has already been
freed at this point.
From my POV calling replenish at this point is basically an undefined
behavior. The Genode::Constructible holding the Genode::Account was
already detroyed at this point. GCC builds happen to somehow manage to
go through the -> operator call without raising any alarms, while clang
builds trip on the _check_constructed() call.
This fix moves the _ram_account a bit higher in class declaration to
ensure its destroyed after _sliced_heap. This seems like the simpliest
solution for this problem.
Fixes#3941
To enable the interaction of a VMM with the kernel directly,
a hidden RPC gets introduced. It allows a kernel-specific
base-library implementation of the Vm_session::Client to request
a kernel-specific capability to address a VCPU, e.g., to
run/stop it.

At least on some PIT-based platforms (x86_32 + pistachio/okl4/sel4), we run
into trouble with the reworked timeout framework that now proccesses all
pending timeouts before calling their handlers. This order change leads to a
higher rate of handling of short periodic timeouts in the timer driver which
can cause lower prioritized components to starve. Especially, if submitting
signals (from timer to client) isn't cheap (as is the case on qemu + pistachio
for example).

The quota for the argument buffer is already accounted by using the
Attached_ram_dataspace _argument_buffer, which uses the Constraint_ram_allocator
_ram, which uses the Ram_quota_guard from the Session_object. Running on
Sculpt with more than 1000 Subject_info objects/trace IDs the memory
waste become noticeable.
By now, the enumeration of peripheral interrupts on Raspberry Pi 1 was
different in between base-hw kernel and Fiasco.OC. Therefore, hacks were
needed in every driver to request the correct interrupt number dependent
on the kernel. Before reproducing the same in the platform driver for rpi,
we can more easily use the same enumeration with base-hw.

Introduce the managing_system privilege for components like the
platform_driver to allow it to call system management functionality
that is reserved by kernel or special firmware, e.g., ARM Trusted Firmware.
The former RAM resource configuration attribute `constrain_phys`,
which enabled to constrain the region of physical RAM to be used,
gets replaced by the new, broader managing_system configuration
attribute of a `start` node. It gets enforced by the sandbox library.

This patch untangles the interplay of the base library and the libc
during the exit handling.
- The CXA ABI for the atexit handling is now provided by the libc.
For plain Genode components without libc dependency, __cxa_atexit
is a no-op, which is consistent with Genode's notion of components.
- The 'abort' implementation of the base library no longer calls
'genode_exit' but merely 'sleep_forever'. This way, the cxx library
no longer depends on a 'genode_exit' implementation.
- The libc provides 'atexit' support by storing metadata on the
libc kernel's heap now, thereby eliminating the former bounded
maximum number of atexit handlers.
- Shared-library dtors are no longer called via the atexit mechanism
by explicitly by the dynamic linker. This slightly changes the
call order of destructors (adjustment of the ldso test). Functions
marked as destructors are called after the atexit handlers now.
- The libc executes atexit handlers in the application context,
which supports the I/O operations in those handles, in particular
the closing of file descriptors.
