Eliminate the creation of 'Genode::String's before the linker has been

IP 0.

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.

Try to allocate within constraint area first. In case the area is exhausted,
try allocation at other memory locations.
The motivation for this is to limit DMA allocations to 4GB (since some
devices require addresses below 4GB). On some platforms there is little
physical RAM in this area (<1GB) and the constrainted area exhausts. In
case an IOMMU is present, RAM at higher locations can still be mapped
below 4GB, which is done in the platform drivers.

The `with_sub_node` method is renamed to `with_optional_sub_node` to

At the same time, the new `with_sub_node` now takes a second functor that is
called when no sub node of the desired type exists.
genodelabs/genode#4600
This patch adds special handling for lib/<libname> arguments to the
build system, which supersedes the former LIB=<libname> mechanism.
Whereas the old mechanism was limited to a single library, the new
convention allows multiple library arguments, similar to regular
targets. The change brings the two immediate benefits.
First, the streamlining of library and target arguments allows for the
building of libraries via the 'build' command of the run tool.
Second, it alleviates the need for pseudo target.mk files for building
shared libraries that have no direct dependencies, in particular VFS
plugins.
Since this change eases the explicit creation of shared libraries
from run scripts, we may reconsider the automatic implicit building
of shared libraries driven by targets. E.g., while developing a Qt
application, a run script could import the Qt libraries from the
depot and combine those with the developed (fresh built) target without
triggering the build of the Qt libraries in the build directory.
When issueing 'make' without arguments, all targets are built. This
patch applies this behavior to libraries as well, thereby removing the
need for the base/src/lib/target.mk pseudo target as used by the CI
tools to build all libraries.
Note that target.mk files located under src/lib/ are no longer
reachable. Therefore, all run scripts that used to trigger the
build of a shared library via a pseudo target must be adapted.
E.g., 'build lib/vfs/tap' must be replaced by 'build lib/vfs_tap'.
With this patch, the LIB=<libname> option is no longer supported.
Fixes#4599
After reverting unused ranges during allocator destruction
'_meta_data.free_empty_blocks' may lead to more unused ranges because
meta data blocks maybe freed where the meta data for the blocks is
managed by other meta data blocks. This leads to dangling allocation
warnings which are caused by meta data. Therefore, we call
'_revert_unused_ranges' and 'free_empty_blocks' until no more ranges
can be freed.
issue #4466
This patch makes the trace-subject state as reflected to the trace
monitor more accurate.
Until now, a subject could be in UNTRACED or TRACED state. In reality,
however, there exists an intermediate state after the trace monitor
called 'trace' for the subject but before the subject locally activated
the tracing (done when passing a trace point). This intermediate state
was reflected as UNTRACED. Consequently, threads that never pass a trace
point (e.g., just waiting for I/O) would remain to appear as UNTRACED
even after enabling its tracing by the trace monitor. This is confusing.
This patch replaces the former UNTRACED and TRACED states by three
distinct states:
UNATTACHED prior any call of 'trace'
ATTACHED after a trace monitor called 'trace'
but before the tracing is active
TRACE tracing is active
Fixes#4447

XML allows attribute values like <node attr="\"/>. The XML parser
wrongly reflects this case as 'Invalid_syntax'. This behavior stems from
the implicit use of the 'end_of_quote' function, which considers the
sequence of '\"' as a quoted '"' rather than the end of a quoted string.
The patch solves this problem by making the 'end_of_quote' part of
the tokenizer's scanner policy.
The patch removes the 'end_of_quote' function from 'util/string.h'
because it is not universal, and to avoid the ambiguity with
'SCANNER_POLICY::end_of_quote'.

When a PD owns the right to ask for a RAM dataspace's `dma_addr` it is
concurrently constrained to use allocations of a specific physical RAM area.
This commit further limits this area by removing RAM page frame zero.
Otherwise the return value of `dma_addr` for such a dataspace would be
erroneously interpreted as a fault, because zero is currently the error
return value of `dma_addr`.

This does not affect default Genode builds as far as I can tell. There
is always at least one global static CTOR which seems to be coming from
one of the GCC runtime libs bundled in the toolchain. The problem became
visible for me only after I've replated GCC runtime with LLVM based
one. In such setup I often see binaries that do not have any static ctors.
Such binaries end up crashing Genode ld.lib.so.
Make sure the code does handle empty constructors array.
Fixes#4422
The official way to obtain DMA addresses for RAM dataspaces is
the RPC function 'Pd_session::dma_addr' now. User-level device drivers
should not call this function directly but use the 'Platform_session'
interface of the platform driver instead.
Fixes#2243
This patch enhances the PD-session interface with the support needed for
user-level device drivers performing DMA. Both RPC functions are
intended for the direct use by the platform driver only. If invoked for
PDs that lack the managing-system role, the operations have no effect.
The 'dma_addr()' RPC function allows the platform driver to request the
DMA address of a given RAM dataspace. It is meant to replace the
'Dataspace::phys_addr' RPC function.
The 'attach_dma' RPC function adds the given dataspace to the device
PD's I/O page table. It replaces the former heuristics of marking DMA
buffers as uncached RAM on x86.
With this patch, the UNCACHED attribute of RAM dataspaces is no longer
used to distinguish DMA buffers from regular RAM dataspaces.
Issue #2243
When used by the 'Allocator_avl' the slab allocator's backing store is
dynamically disabled and re-enabled while adding/freeing ranges.
However, during those operations, slab entries can be freed. This,
in turn, can result in the release of a slab block (when the freed slab
entry happens to be the last entry of the block). In this corner case,
'Slab::_release_backing_store' operation has no effect because no
backing-store allocator is set. As a result, the block is no longer
referenced but not physically freed.
The patch fixes the problem by skipping '_free_curr_sb' whenever
no backing store is defined. So the completely empty block remains
in the working set.
Thanks to Peter for reporting and fixing this issue!

This patch improves the robustness of the CPU-affinity handling.
- The types in base/affinity.h received the accessors
'Location::within(space)' and 'Affinity::valid', which alleviates
the fiddling with coordinates when sanity checking the values,
in init or core.
- The 'Affinity::Location::valid' method got removed because its
meaning was too vague. For sanity checks of affinity configurations,
the new 'within' method is approriate. In cases where only the x,y
values are used for selecting a physical CPU (during thread creation),
the validity check (width*height > 0) was not meaningful anyway.
- The 'Affinity::Location::from_xml' requires a 'Affinity::Space'
as argument because a location always relates to the bounds of
a specific space. This function now implements the selection of
whole rows or columns, which has previously a feature of the
sandbox library only.
- Whenever the sandbox library (init) encounters an invalid affinity
configuration, it prints a warning message as a diagnostic aid.
- A new 'Affinity::unrestricted' function constructs an affinity that
covers the whole affinity space. The named functions clarifies
the meaning over the previous use of the default constructor.
- Core's CPU service denies session requests with an invalid
affinity parameter. Previously, it would fall back to an
unrestricted affinity.

return values instead of using exceptions for propagating errors.
To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original

supported. But it existes merely as a wrapper around the new
'try_alloc'.

When rebasing my local branch on top of sculpt-21.10 tag I've noticed
two problems.
The code in new_delete.cc does not include new header file. This works
fine with GCC, but fails with clang because std::align_val_t type is
not defined anywhere according to clang. It looks like GCC pulls this
header indirectly somehow.
The second problem can be seen if one disallows undefined symbols in
executables and shared_libraries. This can be seen with both GCC and
clang by adding --no-undefined to LD_OPT. With such change in place core
fails to link due to:
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: operator delete(void*, std::align_val_t)
>>> referenced by thread.h:448 (/home/tworaz/devel/genode/repos/base-hw/src/core/kernel/thread.h:448)
>>> thread.o:(Kernel::Core_main_thread::~Core_main_thread()) in archive debug/core-hw-virt_qemu.a
>>> referenced by thread.h:448 (/home/tworaz/devel/genode/repos/base-hw/src/core/kernel/thread.h:448)
>>> thread.o:(non-virtual thunk to Kernel::Core_main_thread::~Core_main_thread()) in archive debug/core-hw-virt_qemu.a
>>> did you mean: operator delete(void*, unsigned long, std::align_val_t)
>>> defined in: debug/core-hw-virt_qemu.a(supc++.o)
If the code would somehow manage call such undefined symbol it'd crash.
Since I generally prefer link time failures to runtime crashes I link
all genode binaries with --no-undefined.
To fix this problem just add a dummy implementation of missing delete
operator.

The new 'Env::try_session' method mirrors the existing 'Env::session'
without implicitly handling exceptions of the types 'Out_of_ram',
'Out_of_caps', 'Insufficient_ram_quota', and 'Insufficient_cap_quota'.
It enables runtime environments like init to reflect those exceptions to
their children instead of paying the costs of implicit session-quota
upgrades out of the own pocket.
By changing the 'Parent_service' to use 'try_session', this patch fixes
a resource-exhaustion problem of init in Sculpt OS that occurred when
the GPU multiplexer created a large batch of IO_MEM sessions, with each
session requiring a second attempt with the session quota upgraded by
4 KiB.
Issue #3767
Using 'alignas' in declarations might cause GCC to request for an
implementation of 'operator delete(void*, unsigned long, std::align_val_t)'

error to the log that a proper implementation is missing. This approach is
coherent with our treatment of other global delete operators.

This patch adds support for running Genode/Linux on the AARCH64
architecture.
- The kernel-agnostic startup code (crt0) had to be extended to
capture the initial stack pointer, which the Linux kernel uses
to pass the process environment. This is in line with the
existing startup code for x86_32 and x86_64.
- The link order of the host libraries linked to lx_hybrid
programs had to be adjusted such that libgcc appears at last
because the other libraries depend on symbols provided by
libgcc.
- When using AARCH64 Linux as host, one can execute run scripts
via 'make run/<script> KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux' now.
Issue #4136
When we allowed symbol resolution during exceptions, we used the shared
object lock to protect ELF object list manipulation (e.g., dlopen,
dclose) when executing exception unwinding code in the linker.
Unfortunately, sometimes libraries that are loaded by 'dlopen' may raise
exceptions in the process, leading to a deadlock within the unwind code.
In order to resolve this, we now protect the object list operations
(i.e., enqueue, removal, iteration) by a separate mutex. This allows
the shared object interface to throw exceptions.

When callback functions of `dl_iterate_phdr` required further jump slot
relocations this lead to a deadlock. Therefore, we allow the resolution

dlopen/dlcose) of shared object by other threads while in program header
iteration.

This patch changes the 'alloc_aligned' interface as follows:
- The former 'from' and 'to' arguments are replaced by a single
'range' argument.
- The distinction of the use cases of regular allocations vs.
address-constrained allocations is now overed by a dedicated
overload instead of relying on a default argument.
- The 'align' argument has been changed from 'int' to 'unsigned'
to be better compatible with 'addr_t' and 'size_t'.
Fixes#4067
The 'Timer::Session::trigger_periodic' RPC function used to accept 0 as
a way to de-schedule the periodic processing. Several components such as
nitpicker relied on this special case. In "timeout: rework timeout
framework", the value of zero was silently clamped to 1, which has the
opposite effect: triggering signals at the maximum rate. This results in
a visible effect in Sculpt where the leitzentrale-nitpicker instance
produces a constant load of 2% CPU time.
This patch restores the original timer semantics by
- Documenting it in timer_session.h,
- Handling the case explicitly in the timer implementation, and
- Replacing the silent clamping of the unexpected value 0 passed
to the timeout framework by a diagnostic error message.
Issue #3884
This patch fixes a corner case where a child is destructed while a
asynchronous close request to a sibling server is still pending.
The child immediately discarded the session ID as the end of the
close-session processing, assuming that this ID is never to be needed
again. The session-state continues to exist to handle asynchrous close
protocol with the server.
However, if the child is destructed at this point (before the server
responded to the session request), the destruction of the child would
not cover the discharging of the session state because the session state
was no longer be part of the client's ID space. So once the asynchronous
close response from the server came in, the session state contained
stale information, in particular a stale closed_callback pointer.
The patch fixes the problem by deferring the discarding of the client ID
to the point where the session state is actually destructed. So the
session of a pending close response is covered by the child destructor.
Thanks to Pirmin Duss for reporting this issue along with a test
scenario for reproducing it!

The code in base-hw/src/bootstrap/platform.cc uses segment flags for
identification purposes. Based on this information the code decides
what to do with each segment. Unfortunately the linker script does
not actually ensure the flags for a specific named segment match
expectations. The code relies on implicit linker behaviour.
This implicit behaviour can vary between linkers. This breaks
arm_v7a base-hw builds linked with LLVM's lld linker. The segment
named "ro" ends up having writeable flag set when using LLD.
This patch ensures that all ELF segments in genode.ld have their
