This patch enables sculpt to utilize the CPU reset mechanism via the
PS/2 controller as well as the information provided via the ACPI FADT
information. Whenever the /config/system file is changed to <system
state="reset"/>, both mechanisms are triggered.
Supporting both mechanisms is useful because the PS/2-based reset does
not work reliably on modern machines. The PS/2-based reset is useful in
the case when the FADT reset information refers to the PS/2 command
port. In this case, the platform driver is unable to access this port
because it is already handed out to the PS/2 driver. In this case, the
PS/2 driver kicks in.
Issue #2726
This patch extends the settings dialog with the ability to select the
keyboard layout between the options that are included in the sculpt
image. The manual configuration is of course still possible by editing
the /config/event_filter directly.
If both the fonts configuration and the event-filter configuration are
managed manually, the settings button and window are not displayed.
Fixes#4055
This patch adds session-routing options to connect components to the
capture/event interfaces of the global nitpicker GUI server or the
leitzentrale GUI server. It thereby enables the implementation of screen
capturing components, remote management tools, or virtual keyboards.
Since those services are very powerful, they are subsumed under the
"hardware" category of the component graph as opposed to the GUI
category, which guarantees the separation of clients.
Fixes#4053
This patch adds 4 priority levels to the runtime subsystem. The highest
priority is used for components that are critical for the operation of
Sculpt, in particular the Leitzentrale GUI. All regularly deployed
components are assigned the lowest priority by default.
With priorities available in the runtime subsystem, this patch flattens
the priority levels at the top-level init to only two levels and
overlays the priority bands of the drivers, leitzentrale, and runtime
subsystems into one priority band. This has three benenfits:
- This change prevents the starvation of the Leitzentrale GUI from a
spinning high-priority driver (issue #3997).
- The change will also ease the hosting of latency-critical components
in the runtime subsystem that are prioritized higher than regular
components, the storage stack, and the network stack.
- The Leitzentrale GUI remains always perfectly responsive regardless
of the workloads deployed from packages. In the previous version,
the runtime graph was sometimes stuttering on high system load.

Note, OpenSSL now comes as one combined depot archive *openssl* that
replaces the former *libssl* and *libcrypto* archives. The libraries are
still separate binaries for compatibility with legacy software.

Let the NIC router provide an Uplink service besides the Nic service that it
already provided. Requests for an Uplink session towards the NIC router are
assigned to Domains using the same <policy> configuration tags that are used in
order to assign Nic session requests. The MAC addresses of Uplink session
components are _NOT_ considered during the allocation of MAC addresses for NIC
session components at the same Domain. The task of avoiding MAC address clashes
between Uplink session components and Nic session components is therefore left
to the integrator. Apart from that, Uplink session components are treated by
the NIC router like any other interface.

* Introduce CPU quota for driver subsytem (needed by sd_card_drv)
* Introduce CPU quota for runtime subsytem and nic_drv (needed by fec_nic_drv)
* Increase CAP quota for inspect terminal slightly
* Add sculpt packages for imx8q_evk
Fix#3958
* Introduce sculpt-[board] specific package
* Move rtc driver into managed drivers sub-system
* Name nic_drv in a generic fashion in sculpt_manager
* Copy over pc-specific config files only when building for PC

The CBE repository contained a lot of Genode-specific code despite the fact
that the CBE core logic is not bound to Genode in any way. Therefore the
Genode-specific CBE code is moved to the 'gems' repository to form part of
Genode mainline. The remaining CBE code becomes a port in Genode instead of
being invoked as sub-repository.
The commit combines the following work steps:
* add all files removed from CBE repository
* add CBE port files
* make all CBE libs and targets build again
* make all CBE run scripts succeed again
* make all CBE recipes build again
* make CBE autopilot succeed again
* let CBE autopilot use 'libsparcrypto' contrib dir and Genode build dir
instead of '.ci' dir in CBE contrib dir (remove '.ci' dir from CBE repo)
* let CBE autopilot always check for all ports
* make CBE autopilot directly executable
* fix license headers in all Genode CBE files
* remove unused VFS replay component
* remove unused CBE test
* remove unused external crypto
* remove unused files in run dir
* remove unused external trust anchor
* add cbe_tester test to autopilot list
* get rid of directories 'include/cbe_*' and 'include/utils'
Fixes#3937
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.
Ref #3816
This commit applies the transition from the "Input" session to the "Event"
session to the event-filtering mechansim. The functionality of the
input_filter is now provided by the event_filter. The event filter
requests only one "Event" session as destination for the filter result,
which is usually routed to the nitpicker GUI server. It provides an
"Event" service to which any number of event sources can connect.
The configuration of the filter chain remains almost the same. Only the
declaration of the <input> nodes is no longer needed. Instead, the
configuration must specify <policy> nodes, which define the mapping of
"Event" clients (event sources) to the inputs used in the filter chain.
The patch adjusts all uses of the nitpicker GUI server accordingly such
that the event filter reports events to nitpicker's event service
instead of having nitpicker request an "Input" session. This dissolves
the dependency of nitpicker from input drivers.
