Foster the Genode books as a single point of reference for Genode's
documentation. E.g., the Getting-Started section of the "Genode
Foundations" book has long obsoleted doc/getting_started.txt. This
patch also remove long orphaned texts like gsoc_2012.txt. The approach
described in the porting guide has now been replaced by the Goa SDK.
The Genode books can be downloaded at the genode.org website. Like
Genode, they are open source. All text is licensed as CC-BY-SA and

Instead of directly process URBs whenever a USBPacket arrives from
the Qemu ported XHCI layer, send a local signal to the I/O handler,
which will process the requests after leaving certain sensible
code pathes like usb_packet_complete. Otherwise, it might happen
that a packet, which was still marked as being queued gets already
completed, which leads to an assertion and hang of the library.

This prevents the potential corner case where the terminal receives input
at a time when the window has no valid size and _text_screen_surface is
not constructed.
If one of core's threads is causing an MMU fault, dump the
register state and stack backtrace of the faulting stack to
aid debugging.

- add a check to detect if a different thread has
initialized the internal object in the meantime
- remove ENOMEM error since the 'Libc::Allocator'
is not supposed to throw exceptions
- remove init mutex from 'pthread_condattr_init()'
since there is no implicit initialization which
could happen in parallel like with mutex/cond/rwlock
Issue #5386
The VFS server used to respond to any invalid config by exiting.
By disregarding such configurations instead, this patch makes the VFS
server robust against temporary malconfiguration.
When trying to open a file in the Files view with font size set to
Large on 4k screens, the editor's / `text_area`'s `view` child fails to
bump its RAM quota when the editor's default quota is too small.
To mitigate the issue, bump the editor's default quota to 80MiB.
The long-term fix would be for the editor to request more RAM from the
runtime to satisfy the `view` RAM request.

When using the Files view with font size set to Large, the boosted
runtime_view limit of 64MiB is still not enough for 4k screens.
Double the RAM boost limit to 128MiB.
Issue #5356
With this commit the fb driver is started on the second CPU on the
MNT Pocket Reform to decouple it from the other components started
on the first CPU during the system's boot-up and mitigates bring-up
issues with this driver that result in an often non-working display.
Issue #5378.
This patch removes the only residual C++ exception from the kernel part
of core, eliminating the risk of the kernel thread trying to enter the
kernel itself via the C++ exception-handling path. When throwing an
exception, __cxa_allocate_exception invokes the cxx_heap, which
synchronizes accesses via a Genode::Mutex. In the contention case,
the blocking of the mutex issues a syscall to pause the caller.
The patch fixes the problem by replacing the exception with a return
value.

Issue #5245
This commit adapts the aperture splitting between the GPU multiplexer
and the display driver where the former now always tries to reserve
32 MiB of aperture space for itself instead of limiting the space
for the display driver. In case the aperture is not large enough
the display driver takes precedence and the GPU service has to make
do with remaining space. In the worst case that renders the GPU
service unusable.
Issue #5377.
Don't try to decide based on the hardware state, in which mode a
connector is used. If a previous configuration failed, e.g. -ENOSPC,
the detection whether the mirrored framebuffer is in use may fail
and the connectors are reported wrongly as discrete.
During modeset traversal take the appropriate lock to synchronize irq and
user task, which may be de-scheduled by Linux code when invoking contrib
code.
Issue #5377
The driver code may allocate framebuffers which do not fit in the aperture.
Trying to use such framebuffer may lead to only partial visible content
on the screen and the rest either black or garbage.
Instead check for this circumstance and deny to use such framebuffers and
release them, since the user would get an unusable/hard to interpret state.
Additionally, release the vma mappings earlier in order to reduce the likelihood
of such un-mappable framebuffers.
Issue #5377
When updating a dialog after a prolonged idle time with no active
animatons, the next _handle_gui_sync would wrongly fast-forward
animations for all the frames passed since the last _handle_gui_sync. On
the PinePhone, this effect is clearly visible when switching between the
main section. The GUI jumps from one state to another instead of
transitioning. This patch solves the issue be resetting '_previous_sync'
when waking up from idle.

Large deployments (e.g., using the Falkon browser) can significantly
inflate the RAM quota of depot_rom. When switching the Sculpt storage
target (using the "Use" buttons), depot_rom is restarted. Right now,
however, it retains its (inflated) quota. It is better to reset the
quota to its initial value to free up RAM that thereby becomes usable
for a different deployment. Otherwise, the depot_rom's resources can be
deflated only by rebooting.
This patch fixes focus-follows-mouse problem reported for Sculpt 24.10
when using no (operational) backdrop.
In the absence of a background, nitpicker wrongly delivered absolute
motion events to the most recently hovered client even after leaving the
client's area to a area occupied by no client. These motion events, in
turn, confused the internal consistency of the window managers
enter/leave tracking.
Fixes#5375
When using the fonts_fs, the geometry of individual glyphs can change
potentially at any time, after having obtained font-global constraints
once. In particular, a glyph can exceed the bounding box of the font
cell. The VFS font utility must take safety precautions against such
violations.
Fixes#5374
Swapping a 4k monitor between discrete and mirror mode will consume
temporarily at least 32M * 2 (3840 * 2160 * 4 Bytes), so that the
default value of 64M for the aperture is insufficient in addition to
interal display on a notebook. The commit mitigates that the
i915_gem_evict_for_node unimplemented error does not trigger immediately.
Issue #5356
In setups with 3 or more displays, allow the un-merging of connectors
only for the last mirrored connector. Otherwise, the operation would
implicitely change the order of connectors because the new discrete
connector needs appear after all merged connectors.
Issue #5286
The access-point-list hovered state prevents preseting the available
scan results, which currently can happen unintentionally. This commit
hot-wires the hover handling and thus will always show and update the
list. New scan results are received every few seconds and it could
happen that the list changes while the user selects a network (that's
what the original implementation guards against).
Issue #5369.
Since the panorama depends on the config, nitpicker needs to re-evaluate
the validity of the pointer position after each reconfiguration. If the
pointer position is no longer visible, pick a new visible one.
Issue #5352
This patch explicitly handles the unplugging of displays, avoiding the
use of stale connectors for defining the panorama. It also makes the
import of the connectors model robust against intermediate states
reported by the driver (a connector reported as connector but without
any mode), and discards the use of any information of non-present
connectors as merge info.
