The new 'init_platform' function performs the platform-specific
component-local low-level initialization. It allows for the
differentiation between core and regular components as well as
kernel-dependent peculiarities.
This patch introduces a consistent notion of a 'Platform'. Within core,
the 'Platform' contains the kernel-specific initialization. Outside
core, the platform sets up the interplay with the parent component. In
all cases, the platform is constructed while running on the initial
stack.
Issue #4784
VirtIO device models can assert interrupts to notify about
buffer and configuration changes. By now, we could only assert
buffer notification interrupts, but no configuration changes.
The latter is needed, e.g. to notify about GPU mode changes.

Depending on the number of partitions the current fixed size of 4096
bytes might not be sufficient for the resulting partitions report.
The use of the expanding reporter allows for accomodating large reports
while still keeping the resource usage down for the common case of
few partitions (with potentially short names).
Fixes#4782.
The implementations of snprintf and vsnprintf are not needed for the
loading of png images by the demo applications. So we can avoid the
dependency from the format library hosted in the libports repository.
Issue #2064
This commit introduces support for the HMB feature and will setup the
buffer during start-up. The host-memory-buffer (HMB) feature is mostly
used on NVMe devices that do not make use of an DRAM cache to store its
translation tables amongst other operational data. Not using HMB can
impair the performance on such devices.
The memory is allocated in 2 MiB chunks of DMA-capable memory and its
total size in bytes is configurable via the 'hmb_size' config attribute.
The driver always checks the minimal and preferred size of the HMB and
issues a warning in case it is not enabled via the configuration.
Moreover, if the configured size is less than the minimal amount
required by the device the HMB is not configured at all and a warning
is issued also. If the configured size is more than the preferred size
it will be capped to that amount.
Fixes#4715.
This patch converts the loader implementation to the 'Session_object'
interface to implement the ability to upgrade the session caps and RAM
after after the session creation. This is needed to accommodate the
change of the Loader::Connection in commit "Remove format strings from
connection types".
Issue #2064
This patch ultimatedly removes format strings from Genode's base API.
Users of the former base/snprintf.h and base/console.h headers may
use the free-standing 'format' library hosted in the ports repository.

This little library implements rudimentary format-string support. It is
useful for porting 3rd-party code that ought not depend on a full libc.
Issue #2064
The new 'Connection' constructor accepts the session label, affinity,
and args as constructor arguments. The session arguments are passed as a
'Genode::String'. This allows for side-stepping the need for rendering a
format string passed to 'Env::session'.
Issue #2064
The additional files provide Chacha implementation in case
may_use_simd() returns false because in_interrupt() returns true.
Related to issue #4778, commit "lx_emul: track irq state changes"
Implement udelay for all architectures within common lx_emul code,
remove driver-specific version.
Always do busy looping in udelay and use cpu_relax()
like the original Linux code. Thereby, we profit from architecture specific
instructions (cpu cool down), and jiffies are updated if irqs are on.
Ref genodelabs/genode#4778
There are rare use-cases where cpu_relax is used inside a busy loop
(i2c bus functions), which only will break when the jiffies counter
reaches a specific value.
Because of the cooperative scheduling done in lx_emul, no timer
interrupt will break such a loop. As a workaround, we check for
necessary jiffies updates inside cpu_relax if interrupts are enabled.
Ref genodelabs/genode#4778
To be able to check for interrupts being on or off,
the enabling and disabling is tracked in lx_emul.
When interrupts get received, they have to be turned off.
Ref genodelabs/genode#4778
Do not start and stop idle ticking within the timer interrupt
routine, but do it around the whole Lx_kit scheduling, which
is always called when Linux code gets active again, either
because of backend signals, interrupts, or timing signals.

The namespace draws a clear line between the base library and the core
component.
It is declared at the new core-local header <types.h>, which is expected
to be included by all code of the core component. It is thereby a
natural place for kernel-agnostic general types like commonly used C++
utilities.
