Now, USB audio class devices become available in Sculpt, e.g., for vbox
passthrough, and are not automatically grabbed by the usb_hid class=3
policy. In the future, interface/endpoint level policies will enable
driving the HID interface only from usb_hid while a usb_audio driver
controls the rest of the device.
- Remove exceptions
- Use 'Attr' struct for attach arguments
- Let 'attach' return 'Range' instead of 'Local_addr'
- Renamed 'Region_map::State' to 'Region_map::Fault'

This patch replaces exceptions of the PD session RPC interface with
result types.
The change of the quota-transfer RPC functions required the adaptation
of base/quota_transfer.h and base/child.h.
The 'alloc_signal_source' method has been renamed to 'signal_source'
to avoid an exceedingly long name of the corresponding result type.
The Pd_session::map function takes a 'Virt_range' instead of basic-type
arguments.
The 'Signal_source_capability' alias for 'Capability<Signal_source>' has
been removed.
Issue #5245
Instead of returning an invalid capability whenever an interface is
requested that does not exist, create a disconnected interface component.
It is also possible that a client requests an interface that got removed
at the same time. When an invalid capability gets returned, a client
can stumble about invoking it.
Moreover, this commit marks either invalid interface or device components
as disconnected objects to optimize their handling.

Replace the USB session API by one that provides a devices ROM only,
which contains information about all USB devices available for this client,
as well as methods to acquire and release a single device.
The acquisition of an USB device returns the capability to a device session
that includes a packet stream buffer to communicate control transfers
in between the client and the USB host controller driver. Moreover,
additional methods to acquire and release an USB interface can be used.
The acquisition of an USB interface returns the capability to an interface
session that includes a packet stream buffer to communicate either
bulk, interrupt, or isochronous transfers in between the client and the
USB host controller driver.
This commit implements the API changes in behalf of the Genode C API's
USB server and client side. Addtionally, it provides Usb::Device,
Usb::Interface, and Usb::Endpoint utilities that can be used by native
C++ clients to use the new API and hide the sophisticated packet stream API.
The adaptations necessary target the following areas:
* lx_emul layer for USB host and client side
* Linux USB host controller driver port for PC
* Linux USB client ports: usb_hid_drv and usb_net_drv, additionally
reduce the Linux tasks used inside these drivers
* Native usb_block_drv
* black_hole component
* Port of libusb, including smartcard and usb_webcam driver depending on it
* Port of Qemu XHCI model library, including vbox5 & vbox6 depending on it
* Adapt all run-scripts and drivers_interactive recipes to work
with the new policy rules of the USB host controller driver

This patch changes the unlink operation of the ram fs to defer the
destruction of a file until it is no longer referenced by any VFS handle.
When unlinked, the file no longer appears in the directory. But it can
still be opened and accessed.
With this change, a parent process of a Unix-like subsystem becomes able
to pass the content of an unlinked file to a forked child process. This
mechanism is required when using the 'exec' command in Tcl scripts.
Another use case is the 'tmpfile()' function.
Fixes#3577
The execution of global-static constructors in Genode is optional for
native components or determined in the libc for libc components. By
convention, we avoid static constructors wherever possible but in rare
cases the component can tweak the point when constructors are executed
and initialize an environment beforehand. The wifi_drv applies this
pattern for the uplink initialization, but is a libc component on the
other hand, and, thus, statics in the Genode C API for uplink are
constructed later by the libc. So, the prior initialization is reverted,
i.e. the signal-handler capability becomes invalid.
This addresses a regression exposed by the following commit.

Let the sandbox library disregard all unknown config sub nodes so that
supplemental information - like the monitor policy configuration - is
not interpreted as a misconfiguration ("unknown config element type ...").
Issue #4917
By default, the sandbox uses the Env::pd() as reference PD session of
the sandbox children.
However, to accomodate use cases where the interplay of the reference
PD session and the child's address space needs to be intercepted, this
patch adds a constructor that takes an interface for the controlled
access of PD intrinsics as argument.
Issue #4917
This patch promotes the event of an exiting child to become immediately
reported, reducing delays for management components that watch the exit
status of children.

The 'file_size' type denotes the size of files on disk in bytes. On
32-bit architectures it is larger than the size_t, which refers to
in-memory object sizes.
Whereas the use of 'file_size' is appropriate for ftruncate and seek, it
is not a suitable type for the parameters of read/write operations
because those operations refer to in-memory buffers.
This patch replaces the use of 'file_size' by size_t. However, since it
affects all sites where the read/write interface is uses, it takes the
opportunity to replace the C-style (pointer, size) arguments by
'Byte_range_ptr' and 'Const_byte_range_ptr'.
Issue #4706
The old 'Io_response_handler::io_progress_response' interface has been
replaced by the 'Vfs::Env::User::wakeup_vfs_user' (issue #4697). The
remaining 'read_ready_response' method is now hosted in the
appropriately named 'Read_ready_response_handler'.
Issue #4706
This commit supplements the various I/O signal handlers of the VFS
plugins with calls of the new 'Vfs::Env::User::wakeup_vfs_user'
interface, which will subsequently replace the old 'Io_progress_handler'
(issue #4697).
Issue #4706
By adding a 'write_ready' interface following the lines of the existing
'read_ready', VFS plugins become able to propagate the (de-)saturation
of I/O buffers to the VFS user. This information is important when using
a non-blocking file descriptor for writing into a TCP socket. Once the
application observes EAGAIN, it expects a subsequent 'select' call to
return as soon as new I/O buffer space becomes available.
Before this patch, the select call would always return under this
condition, causing an unnecessarily busy write loop.
Issue #4697
This patch removes the 'Insufficient_buffer' exception by returning the
WRITE_ERR_WOULD_BLOCK result value instead. It also eliminates the
superfluous WRITE_ERR_AGAIN and WRITE_ERR_INTERRUPT codes.
Issue #4697
...and tighten constness in adjacent code parts.
The VFS-internal synchronization via mutexes is no longer needed because
the access to the VFS is serialized by the VFS client, i.e., the libc.
Issue #4697
This patch facilitates the batching of I/O operations in the VFS library
by replacing the implicit wakeup of remote peer (via the traditional
packet-stream interface like 'submit_packet') by explicit wakeup
signalling.
The wakeup signalling is triggered not before the VFS user settles down.
E.g., for libc-based applications, this is the case if the libc goes
idle, waiting for external I/O.
In the case of a busy writer to a non-blocking file descriptor or socket
(e.g., lighttpd), the remote peers are woken up once a write operation
yields an out-count of 0.
The deferring of wakeup signals is accommodated by the new 'Remote_io'
mechanism (vfs/remote_io.h) that is designated to be used by all VFS
plugins that interact with asynchronous Genode services for I/O.

Count more accurately how much packets are in flied, and whether
new packets can be handled. Moreover, catch potential exceptions

This reverts commit 9a37ccfe291508c5199e10813117b16a5766ff44 except for the
new declarations in public headers (in order to not change any APIs again).
We revert the commit as we found that there are corner cases in which it
produces a bad UDP checksum. The bad UDP checksum was observed via Wireshark at
a TFTP server in a Sculpt 22.10 Debian 11 VM on the first request of fetching a
file with the TFTP client of the uboot on our iMX8 test board.
Ref #4636
This patch splits the querying of the number of directory entries from
the directory's 'status' information. Subsuming the number of directory
entries as part of the status makes 'stat' calls too costly for some
file systems that need to read a directory for determining the number of
entries. So when stat'ing the entries of one directory that contains sub
directories, all entries of each sub directory are visited.
Thanks to Cedric Degea for pointing out this performance bottleneck!
With this change, the 'status' function returns a 'Status::size' value
of 0 when called for a directory handle.
Fixes#4603
The `with_sub_node` method is renamed to `with_optional_sub_node` to
better reflect that the non-existence of a sub node with the desired type is
ignored.
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.
