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.
Issue #4784
The change "core: allow offset-attached managed dataspaces" addressed a
corner case of the use of nested region maps. Apparently, this change
negatively affects other scenarios (tool_chain_auto).
In order to confidently cover all the differnt situations, this patch
reworks the page-fault resolution code for improved clarity and safety,
by introducing dedicated result types, reducing the use of basic types,
choosing expressive names, and fostering constness.
It also introduces a number of 'print' hooks that greatly ease manual
instrumentation and streamlines the error messages printed by core.
Those messages no longer appear when a user-level page-fault handler
is reistered for the faulted-at region map. So the monitor component
produces less noise on the attempt to dump non-existing memory.

Changes to the platform driver triggered a map() error while mapping an
address block at 0x3000 of size 0x800. Since the mapped size was larger, the
loop continued and tried mapping address 0x4000 where no dataspace was
found.

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.
Issue #4784
The namespace draws a clear line between the base library and the core
component.
It is declared at the new core-local header <types.h>, which is expected
to be included by all code of the core component. It is thereby a
natural place for kernel-agnostic general types like commonly used C++
utilities.
Fixes#4777
The NOVA kernel and Genode's roottask core are configured to be runnable
with up to 64 CPUs (MAX_SUPPORTED_CPUS in core resp. NUM_CPU in kernel).
On machines with more CPUs a reset occurred. The commit checks for this
case, bootstraps the first 64 CPUs only, and sends all other CPUs to
sleep.
Also, the platform_info ROM size is increased to host information about
more than 32 CPUs.
Issue #4640
If `select_from_ports` is evaluated lazily, we might miss a port during
the dependency check. A way to prevent this is to use the `:=` operator.

This commit fixes two issues with the timeout lib and the base-hw src recipe:
* Add source files of timeout lib to recipe content.
The files weren't copied to the depot until now. However, the archive
nonetheless built successfully because of the second issue that is described
below.
* Get rid of the usage of the BASE_DIR variable in the timeout lib.
The BASE_DIR variable always resolves to the repos/base directory even when
building in a depot. That said, the use of BASE_DIR in make-files that are
not part of the build system itself must be avoided. Instead, REP_DIR,
REP_INC_DIR, and $(call select_from_repositories, ...) should be used.
Ref #4209
The vanilla NOVA kernel solely supports tracking and exporting of execution
times per SC kernel object, but not per thread (EC object). The commit extends
to track execution times per EC in the NOVA kernel, exporting it to Genode's
'core' roottask and populating Genode's Trace::Subject_info structure.
Fixes#4481
Remove handling of ACPI (SCI) interrupt from kernel and thereby let the
handling of the ACPI irq exclusively to an Genode driver. On Genode the ACPICA
library+app handles the ACPI irq, where we can now remove the contrib patches
related to the synchronization between NOVA kernel and ACPICA library.
Fixes#4479
With the new usb driver #4399 and usage of the updated dde_linux lx_eml/lx_kit
approach a much higher rate of IRQ session construction/destruction and signal
handler assignment (irq->sigh) are caused. This trickles down to the kernel,
which causes an hang of the AMD IOMMUs due to not setting reserved bits
adequately. The commit fixes the root cause in the kernel and add a guard
into core's to limit such driver behaviour.
Fixes#4482
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.
Issue #4300
This patch changes the 'Allocator' interface to the use of 'Attempt'
return values instead of using exceptions for propagating errors.
To largely uphold compatibility with components using the original
exception-based interface - in particluar use cases where an 'Allocator'
is passed to the 'new' operator - the traditional 'alloc' is still
supported. But it existes merely as a wrapper around the new
'try_alloc'.

- request FPU state on VM exit in portal config
- transfer FPU state on VM entry

Avoid any FPU instructions (for example during base API calls), which
use the FPU and overwrite FPU registers holding the guest vCPU FPU
state.

Issue #4313
Report via platform_info the capabilities of the kernel, e.g. ACPI and MSI.
With the commit the try-catch pattern on IRQ session creation by the platform
driver is avoided.
Issue #4016
This patch unifies the core-internal 'Mapping' type across all base
platforms.
As one minor downside on seL4, the diagnostic error messages when
observing faults other than page faults no longer print the faulting
thread and PD names.
Issue #2243
Do not link base and core libraries into on large relocatable .o file,
which is linked later to core - causing long link times. Create an
independent library archive out of the base and core libraries that can
be linked faster.

* Remove all board-specific REQUIRE declaratiions left
