On x86, DMA buffers are actually always mapped as cached. We should
therefore actually ask for a cached buffer in order to avoid confusion.

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.

Rename locally extended VCPU state from State to Vcpu_state for clarity.
The local namespace only adds two accessor methods, which does not
justify a local generic name.

Make naming across architectures coherent by renaming Vm_state to
Vcpu_state, to reflect that it contains the state of a Vcpu and not that
of an entire VM.

Per Affinity::Location a system control cap can be requested. The capability
provides an RPC interface to request and set Cpu_state, as provided by the
former Pd::managing_system(Cpu_state) method. Invocation of those system
control capabilities then *can* (see below) be executed on the desired CPU
as described by Affinity::Location.
The system control cap will be invalid for kernels that don't support
system_control/managing_system functionality at all.
The system control cap will be ever by the same, e.g. ignoring the
Affinity::Location parameter, if the used kernel doesn't support or doesn't
require the feature to execute the system control per CPU.
The commit is a preparation step to add guarded and selective x86 MSR
access per CPU.

In SDL2, support has been added for multiple windows.
As such, prior to this commit, invoking _sdl_screen.construct
would create a new window each time the original window was
resized.
To avoid this, refactor to only construct the window once, and
upon resize events, reconstruct the SDL_Surface and SDL_Texture
of Sdl_screen to the new window dimensions.

Following the official migration guide of SDL [1], the
fb_sdl framebuffer driver was update from SDL1 to SDL2.
The sdl2 port in world/src/lib/sdl2 is used.
Since SDL1 is in maintenance mode [2], support for other
display servers than X11 will never be implemented. In
particular, support for Wayland is missing from SDL1.
Fortunately, a port of sdl2 is maintained in genode-world.
As SDL2 is actively developed, it will provide support for
modern hardware architectures, and has mature support for
Wayland [3].

Issue #4993
A WRITE_ERR_WOULD_BLOCK may occur when large reports are written to a file
system because this fills up the submit queue of the packet-stream interface.

The DHCP client implementations of Ping originally is a copy of the NIC router
implementation adapted for Ping. The two versions diverged further over the
years. This issue should be solved by should merging them into a centralized
implementation. However, this commit treats only a recent issue with the
nic_uplink.run test on pbxa9 qemu but does this by re-aligning the two
implementations partially. The final merge should be done in a separate commit.
Ref #4966
* Adds a new component server/nic_uplink that forwards packets unmodified
between one Uplink session at one side and potentially multiple Nic sessions
at the other side.
* Adds a new run script nic_uplink.run that does a basic test with multiple
Nic clients on this component and adds it to the autopilot list.
* Adds a new depot recipe src/nic_uplink for this component.
* Adds a new depot recipe pkg/pc_nic for deploying the pc_nic_driver together
with a nic_uplink server. This allows for raw access to the network connected
to the Nic of the system in contrast to the commonly used routed and NAT'd
access via NIC router. That said, it enables the use of network protocols
not yet supported by the NIC router at the cost of less protection.

Introduces a new class that does the clean-up if some exception is

This change allows a monitored VBox instance to specify a distinct
(lower) priority to the VM session to ensure that the VMM is always
prioritized higher than the VCPUs. This is important because host
I/O at the VMM should always be able to preempt a busy guest.
Issue #4917
The memory barriers where introduced with commit "test-timeout: fix build
errors with -std=gnu++20" presumably in order to prevent GCC optimization from
removing the empty for loops the test is using because using a volatile index
variable was no longer an option.
However, the memory barriers seem to have a negative effect on the measurements
performed with the affected loops. The commit caused the timeout test to fail
at least on imx53_qsb.
This commit fixes the issue by using a simple empty for loop without volatiles
or memory barriers but protected inside a function that is compiled with
optimization disabled.
Ref #4959
Nitpicker's hover and focus reports contain an 'active' attribute, which
can be inspected for the detection of user activity, e.g., as trigger
for a screensaver or for dynamic clipboard policies.
When using the 'Event' session, the reporting code updated the reports
only on incoming events. This patch adds the periodic reporting as used
when using the old 'Input' session.
Issue #4950
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.
The new monitor component at os/src/monitor is the designated successor
of the gdb_monitor. This initial version, however, implements only the
subset needed to inspect the memory of the monitored component(s).
In contrast to the gdb_monitor, the new component supports the monitoring
of multiple components, leveraging the sandbox API. It can therefore be
used as a drop-in replacement for the init component. Like the gdb_monitor,
the new monitor speaks the GDB protocol over Genode's terminal session.
But the protocol implementation does not re-use any gdbserver code,
sidestepping the complexities of POSIX.
There exist two run scripts illustrating the new component. The
os/run/monitor.run script exercises memory inspection via the 'm' command
by letting a test program monitor itself. The os/run/monitor_gdb.run
script allows for the interactive use of GDB to interact with monitored
components.

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.
