When SMP is enabled multicore specific instructions (e.g., pldw) are
generated. These are not supported and lead to invalid instruction
faults on uni-processor systems (like Cortex-A8). Therefore, we disable
SMP for arm_v7 in Linux code. This requires also a switch from the RCU
tree implementation to RCU tiny, which we shadow and dummy implemented.
issue #5104
Adjust the plugin to use the socket C-API found under
dde_linux/src/lib/lxip/include/genode_c_api/socket.h'.
This is the first minor step in generalizing the plugin.

This commit updates lxip from version 4.4.3 to 6.1.20. It uses the
current lx_kit approach and is a shared library again. The stack has
been tested for x86_32/x86_64/arm_v6/arm_v7/arm_8.
The C-interface of the IP stack can be found under
lxip/include/genode_c_api/socket.h.
issue #5104
Functions registered with 'module_init' (i.e., '__define_initcalls'),
'OF_DECLARE', and 'DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_CLASS_FINAL' used to be static
constructors and had be explicitly registered using
'exec_static_constructors' before executing any Linux code.
With this commit we remove the constructor attributes from these
functions and create a global function pointer in the form of
__initptr_<name>_<id>_<counter>_<line number of macro>
'import-lx_emul_common.inc' will collect these '__initptr' symbols after
the compile step and generate a 'lx_emul_register_initcalls' function
that executes the functions pointed to. This step is now automatically
performed in 'lx_emul_start_kernel'. This way a call to
'exec_static_constructors' can be omitted in case there are no other
constructors in place.
issue #5096
The management of Linux page structs is now tied to the life time of DMA
buffers. Thus, page structs are created when a buffer is allocated and
deallocated only when a buffer is freed - not on lx_emul_mem_free()
because DMA buffers are cached. Page struct refcounting was entirely
reworked in lx_emul/shadow/mm/page_alloc.c.

This commit adds support to initialize the timekeeping for
the Linux subsystem with the value from the RTC.
Only the seconds part of timespec64 is supported.

The driver is superseded by the USB network driver (usb_net) which also
contains MBIM support for LTE modems previously provided by this
driver.
issue #4958
Since the wireless LAN driver is actually a 'Libc::Component' due to
its incorporation of the 'wpa_spplicant' application, we have to
intercept its construction because we have to initialize the Lx_kit
environment before any static ctors are executed. Most Linux initcalls
are implemented as ctors that will be otherwise implicitly executed
before the controll is given to us in 'Libc::Component::construct'.

This commit introduces preliminary support for joining networks secured
via WPA3-personal. So far it was only tested with the one OpenWRT AP
configured for WPA3 (see excerpt below) where it WPA3-only as well as
WPA2/WPA3 mixed worked fine.

Issue #4861.
It turns out solely relying on the name of the compilation-unit
is not enough. In at least one multi-device driver, e.g. rtlwifi,
an equally called compilation-unit is found in several different
directories. There KBUILD_MODNAME is used to name the driver,
which fails later on as the driver framework refuses to register
an equally named driver twice.
Instead of only considering the name of the compilation-unit also
include the last element of the path to generate differentiating
KBUILD_MODNAME value.
Issue #4861.
The supplicant is updated to the current release and is now downloaded
as archive rather than pulled from git. For the time being 'libnl' is
still kept at 3.2.25 as the current 3.7.0 release relies on more Linux
infrastructure that our integration does not provide.
Issue #4861.
This commit changes the firmware handling from requesting each
firmware file as a ROM module that is checked against a list of
known images (including their size) to requesting each file via
the local VFS of the 'wifi_drv'. This allows for using the original
probing mechanism that tries to select a matching firmware version.
The 'repos/dde_linux/src/drivers/wifi/README' file contains more
detailed information on how to configure the driver.
Issue #4861.
The bulk of the driver code now lives in the 'dde_linux' repository,
which is available on all platforms, from where it can be referenced by
other repositories.
The 'wifi_drv' binary was delegated to a generic harness that includes
all configuration and management functionality shared by all wireless
device driver components, e.g., the wpa_supplicant. The code of the
device driver emulation environment is located in 'src/lib/wifi'. It
is referenced by the platform-specific driver library that resides in
the corresponding platform repository. The runtime configuration needs
to point the driver to proper driver library.
The platform-specific library is in charge of orchestrating the contrib
source utilized by the driver as well as providing the 'source.list'
and 'dep.list' files. It must include the generic library snippet
'repos/dde_linux/lib/wifi.inc' that deals with managing the emulation
environment code.
The 'repos/dde_linux/src/drivers/wifi/README' file contains more
detailed information on how to deploy the driver.
Issue #4861.
This commit introduces support for building the WLAN driver for ARM
platforms. It makes the WPA supplicant and its support libraries
available for all platforms. It also seperates the PCI parts to
accommodate platforms where other bus protocols are used.
Issue #4813
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.

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.
