This patch changes init's service forwarding such that pending requests
are kept unanswered as long as the requested service is not present
(yet). In dynamic-init scenarios, this is needed in situtions where the
dynamic init is known to eventually provide the service but the internal
subsystem is not ready yet. Previously, a client that attempted to
request a session in this early phase would get a 'Service_denied'
exception. By deferring the forwarding in this situation, the behaviour
becomes deterministic.
If a matching '<service>' exists but there is no matching policy sub
node, the request is answered with 'Service_denied' - as expected.
A boot module with size 0 previously made Core crash with a page fault in
Region_map_component::attach. This patch prevents the creation of ROM-FS
entries for such modules.
Ref #2490
For most base platforms (except linux and sel4), the initialization of
boot modules is the same. Thus, merge this default implementation in the
new unit base/src/core/platform_rom_modules.cc.
Ref #2490
In Region_map_component::attach, storing the metadata for a region may
throw an exception. Catch it and throw an Invalid_dataspace exception.
Ref #2490
Currently, init does not test wether a service is abandoned on a new
configuration if the service was routed via an any-child route. Trigger
this behaviour in the init test.

We used a hardware timer locally in the RPI USB driver because a timer
connection was not precise enough to fullfill the host controllers
requirements.
With the modern timer connection interface, however, reading out time at
a connection is microseconds precise and we can remove the local timer.
But we cannot use the same timer connection for doing legacy-interface
stuff like usleep (currently used in LX kit) and modern-interface stuff
like curr_time. Thus, we open two connections for now.
Ref #2400
The calibration of the interpolation parameters was previously only done
periodically every 500 ms. Together with the fact that the parameters
had to be stable for at least 3 calibration steps to enable
interpolation, it took at least 1.5 seconds after establishing a
connection to get microseconds-precise time values.
This is a problem for some drivers that directly start to poll time.
Thus, the timer connection now does a calibration burst as soon as it
switches to the modern mode (the mode with microseconds precision).
During this phase it does several (currently 9) calibration steps
without a delay inbetween. It is assumed that this is fast enough to not
get interrupted by scheduling. Thus, despite being small, the measured
values should be very stable which is why the burst should in most cases
be sufficient to get the interpolation initialized.
Ref #2400
When in modern mode (with local time interpolation), the timer
connection used to maximize the left shifting of its
timestamp-to-microseconds factor. The higher the shift the more precise
is the translation from timestamps to microseconds. If the timestamp
values used for determining the best shift were small - i.e. the delay
between the calibration steps were small - we may got a pretty big
shift. If we then used the shift with bigger timestamp values - i.e.
called curr_time seldom or raised calibration delays - the big shift
value became a problem. The framework had to scale down all measured
timestamps and time values temporarily to stay operative until the next
calibration step.
Thus, we now raise the shift only that much that the resulting factor
fullfills a given minimum. This keeps it as low as possible according
to the precision requirement. Currently, this requirement is set to 8
meaning that the shifted factor shall be at least 2^8 = 256.
Ref #2400
The kernel timer on RPI is able to measure time microseconds-precise.
Howeer, due to a bug, we dropped precision during the ticks-to-time
translation and return only milliseconds-precise time.
Ref #2400
As the timer session now provides a method 'elapsed_us', there is no more need
for doing any internal calculations with values of milliseconds.
Ref #2400
As timer sessions are not expected to be microseconds precise (because
of RPC latency and scheduling), the session interface provided only a
method 'elapsed_ms' although the back end of this method in the timer
driver works with microseconds.
However, in some cases it makes sense to have a method 'elapsed_us'. The
values it returns might be milliseconds away from the "real" time but it
allows you to work with delays smaller than a millisecond without
getting a zero delta value.
This commit is motivated by the need for fast bursts of calibration
steps for the time interpolation in the new timer connection.

The filename buffer of a dataspace in base-linux is limited to
40 bytes. When using file names longer than this, the remainder
gets dropped silently. Add an error message to aid debugging this
case.
This is helpful for disabling messages in etc/tools.conf by
setting it to e.g.
MSG_LINK = @true ""
This results in much shorter and less cluttered logs in automatic
builds.

- use utility to find/lookup physical addresses to be mapped eagerly
Issue #2209
The launcher.run scenario was last updated mid-may of the recently
developed cap-quota accounting (before all cap types were covered).
Hence, the quotas used in the scenario are too low. This patch adjusts
the values such that the scenario can be started on NOVA on Qemu. It
also fixes a warning about a deprecated way of configuring the
report_rom component.
Thanks to Jörg-Christian Böhme for reporting!
