In commit "hw: improve cross-cpu synchronization" the implicit safe
initialization of the global kernel lock gets unsafe.
It is a static object, which is protected by the cxx library regarding
its initialization. But our cxx library uses a Genode::semaphore in
the contention case of object construction, which implicitly leads
to kernel syscalls for blocking the corresponding thread. This behaviour
is unacceptable for the kernel code.
Therefore, this fix guards the initialization of the kernel code with
a simple static boolean value explicitely.

'append_platform_drv_config' appends to the global 'config' variable,
which seems to cause problems with the order of appending when the
'config' variable does not contain the '<config>' start node yet.
'[platform_drv_config]' can be used instead to append to a local variable.
Fixes#3171
This patch simplifies the propagation of pointer shapes from
window-manager clients to the pointer. The "shape" report is routed to
the wm server, which, in turn, reports it to the pointer. This way, the
pointer can easily correlate the label of the application's "shape"
report with the label of the application's Nitpicker session. The
formerly used manual rewriting of the "shape" label is not needed
anymore.
Since the wm server provides a "Report" service now, its <provides>
declaration must cover "Report" in addition to "Nitpicker" to avoid
runtime error messages. Vice versa, the wm is now expected to request
"shape" reports, which should be routed to the pointer (using the
'label_last' routing attribute).
Fixes#3165
The lwIP VFS plugin uses lwIP pbuf chains to queue recieved TCP data and
must rechain them when the application dequeues data. Remove an
"pbuf_realloc" call which is not needed for updating pbuf metadata when
dequeuing the head of the chain.
Fix#3169
This commit removes APIs that were previously marked as deprecated. This
change has the following implications:
- The use of the global 'env()' accessor is not possible anymore.
- Boolean accessor methods are no longer prefixed with 'is_'. E.g.,
instead of 'is_valid()', use 'valid()'.
- The last traces of 'Ram_session' are gone now. The 'Env::ram()'
accessor returns the 'Ram_allocator' interface, which is a subset of
the 'Pd_session' interface.
- All connection constructors need the 'Env' as argument.
- The 'Reporter' constructor needs an 'Env' argument now because the
reporter creates a report connection.
- The old overload 'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' that returned
a 'Service' does not exist anymore.
- The base/printf.h header has been removed, use base/log.h instead.
- The old notion of 'Signal_dispatcher' is gone. Use 'Signal_handler'.
- Transitional headers like os/server.h, cap_session/,
volatile_object.h, os/attached*_dataspace.h, signal_rpc_dispatcher.h
have been removed.
- The distinction between 'Thread_state' and 'Thread_state_base' does
not exist anymore.
- The header cpu_thread/capability.h along with the type definition of
'Cpu_thread_capability' has been removed. Use the type
'Thread_capability' define in cpu_session/cpu_session.h instead.
- Several XML utilities (i.e., at os/include/decorator) could be removed
because their functionality is nowadays covered by util/xml_node.h.
- The 'os/ram_session_guard.h' has been removed.
Use 'Constrained_ram_allocator' provided by base/ram_allocator.h instead.
Issue #1987
Make the size of the packet buffer at the VFS File_system client
configurable. This allows larger reads to be completed in a single
packet cycle.
Example: <vfs> <fs buffer_size="512K"/> </vfs>
Fix#3167
QEMU implements the cycle count register read by
'Genode::Trace::timestamp()', but does not report a supported debug model
version for Cortex-A9.
Fixes#3154
