The initial memory backend implementation was brought over from DDE
Linux and was geared towards use-cases where a high-performing
allocator is useful. In case of the audio driver this is overkill
and since no other driver that could benefit from such an
implementation was ported in the meantime rather use a simpler
implementation that keeps the overhead down.
Fixes#4946.
Since component.cc is no longer linked to core, we can also remove
entrypoint.cc, which was merely a dependency of component.cc.

This patch replaces the global '_wait_for_exit_sem' object by a local
static variable, which does not rely on the global ctors. It thereby
fixes the fault_detection test after the removal of the global ctors
execution from core ("base: remove component.cc from core").
Issue #4784
With these options enabled comparative testing between pc_linux drivers
and bzImages becomes much easier on EFI-only machines. The impact on the
actual Genode drivers is minimal.
This patch removes the use of the Entrypoint::schedule_suspend mechanism
and the call of glibc's exit from the lx_hybrid tests, for two reasons.
First, the interplay of atexit handlers executed by the glibc and
Genode's lx_hybrid library is complicated while bringing no benefits in
practice as lx_hybrid applications are usually servers that don't exit
anyway.
Second, the Entrypoint::schedule_suspend mechanism in not used by any
other component. By removing its use from the lx_hybrid tests, we can
remove this mechanism from the base library.
Issue #4940
By supplying only the parts of the Env that are actually relevant for
initializing the cxx heap, we avoid the need for the 'Env' interface.
The patch also moves the call of 'init_ldso_phdr' to the outside
of the cxx library because it does not belong there.
Issue #4784
USB devices that are never associated to client sessions lack
usb_per_dev_data (and a kernel thread). Therefore, the devices should be
discontinued directly on unplug as no URBs can be pending.
Issue genodelabs/genode#4795
This commits enables the R8169 driver and was tested with two
RTL8168h/8111h (10ec:8168 rev 0x15 sub 1462:7a38 / 1d05:109f) and
two equal RTL8125B (10ec:8125 rev 0x5 sub 1458:e000) devices
running Sculpt.
Firmware loading is for now not implemented but specific Linux
commits suggest it could be necessary. However, doing so will be
post-poned until we have gathered more experience with the driver.
Restarting the driver might lead to the following IOMMU error
messages but the device seems to work anyway:

Issue #4921.
While this approach still scans "holes" in the bus range, it stops
scanning at the maximum subordinate bus number reachable from the base
PCI bus at the host bridge. Startup under Qemu no longer takes about 12
seconds for scanning 256 buses.
By splitting the 'init_capability_slab()' implementation to a separate
compilation unit 'capability_slab.cc', base-hw no longer needs a
customized version of 'lib/base/platform.cc'.

This patch replaces the internal use 'env_deprecated()' from the
implementation of the thread API in the base library. It also
replaces the global accessor 'main_thread_cap' by the explicit
propagation of the main-thread's capability to the single point of
use via a new 'init_thread_bootstap' function.

This back end can be used in place of the existing jitterentropy based
on in case random is not strictly needed by the component but one
wants to use the available 'shadow/drivers/char/random.c'
implementation.

The implementation was already part of the Zynq's sd_card driver and
since other ARM drivers need it as well, promote it to the common
shadow library.
