By default, a 'Connection' donates an amount of caps as declared in
SESSION_TYPE::CAP_QUOTA to the server at session-creation time.
In some situations, however, a client may deliberately want to donate a
larger amount. For example, when opening a GUI session at the wm, the
total amount of needed caps is the sum of those consumed by the wm plus
those consumed by nitpicker. Using this knowledge, the Gui::Connection
may specify a sufficient amount to avoid iterative session-creation
retries. The new 'Connection' constructor accommodates this use case by
accepting an explicit 'cap_quota' argument.
Issue #5340
Add extended FPU state detection and handling (via xsave and friends) to the
kernel, which has to store/load more FPU state (~512 -> 2k++) during context
switching of threads. Additional the referenced nova branch contains various
optimization during VM destruction and cross core IPC resource caching.
This FPU work is based upon upstream NOVA kernel and Hedron commits.

Add TAR_OPT to global.mk that defaults to user and group 1, while
setting mtime to 0 for tar archives. This can be used in components to
produce consistent (reproducible) tar archives.

This patch replaces the former Child::Process and
Child::Process::Loaded_executable classes by static functions that
return failure conditions as return values.
Issue #5245
By using GCC's --debug-prefix-map argument, we can make sure that debug
archives always refer to source files at /depot. With this change, GDB
can be pointed to the correct source-file location by using the `set
substitute-path /depot /path/to/local/depot`.
Fixes#5260
This patch tightens the coupling of the 'Platform_thread' objects
with their corresponding 'Platform_pd' objects by specifying the
'Platform_pd' as constructor argument, keeping the relationship
as a reference (instead of a pointer), and constraining the
lifetime of 'Platform_pd' objects to the lifetime of the PD.
It thereby clears the way to simplify the thread creation since all
PD-related information (like quota budgets) are now known at the
construction time of the 'Platform_thread'.
The return value of 'Platform_thread::start' has been removed because it
is not evaluated by 'Cpu_thread_component'.

- Remove exceptions
- Use 'Attr' struct for attach arguments
- Let 'attach' return 'Range' instead of 'Local_addr'
- Renamed 'Region_map::State' to 'Region_map::Fault'

The 'Thread_creation_failed' error is now reflected as
'Thread::Start_result' return value. This change also removes the
use of 'Invalid_thread' within core as this exception is an alias
of Cpu_session::Thread_creation_failed.
Issue #5245
This patch removes the exception formerly thrown by 'Cpu_thread::state'
and turns the 'Thread_state' structure into a plain compound type w/o a
constructor.

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
This patch updates the signal API to avoid raw pointers, and
replaces the Context_already_in_use and Context_not_associated
exceptions by diagnostic messages.
Fixes#5247
This exception got introduced as a mere convenience for implementers of
'Child_policy' but required a special case in the base library.
Following the goal of eliminating exceptions from the base system,
this patch removes it by making a server_id_space mandatory.
Issue #5245
This patch allows the use of the 'Id_space' utility without catching
'Unknown_id' exceptions. Instead, the new 'apply' overload takes a
second functor 'missing_fn' as argument, which is called whenever the
lookup fails.
Issue #5244
- Move header to base/include to make it applicable for base types
like 'Affinity' down the road.
- Represent 'Rect' as typle of point and area, which is the most
common form of initialization, creates in valid 'Rect' by default.
- Turn Point, Area, and Rect into compound types, making x, y, w, h, at,
area accessible without a method call
- 'Rect::Compound' function for constructing a 'Rect' from two points,
replacing a former constructor
- Use result type 'Rect::Cut_remainder' instead of out parameters.

To make the x86 page table base implementation compatible with the
function signatures used in hw, make the Intel IOMMU specific arguments
optional:
- Make the `flush` parameter default to false.
- Make the `supported_sizes` parameter default to 1GB + 2MB + 4k.
Issue #5217
The Intel IOMMU page table implementation in the pc platform driver uses
a page table allocator that is adapted from the implementation in the hw
kernel.
Move the allocator to base as a first step to consolidate
implementations, fix an Array constructor and re-add the Allocator
constructor working on addresses instead of tables.
Issue #5217
On hw, `Page_flags` is used throughout architectures. At the same time,
it is used by the Intel IOMMU page table implementation in the pc
platform driver.
Consolidate the definition in base so it is available for all users.
Issue #5217
We discovered this relocation, which does nothing, in pre-compiled
libraries. It is easy to implement because it has the same
relocation-type number (0) for all supported ABIs.
Also adjust error message from "Unsupported PLT relocation" to
"Unsupported translation table address format" to not confuse the
relocation type with the translation table type.
Fixes#5209
The ported i2c_hid driver contains driver code for the "Intel
Tigerlake/Alderlake PCH pinctrl/GPIO" device. Unfortunately, acpica
driver also accesses the same device on Lid open/close via ACPI AML code
of the DSDT table to read out the state of a GPIO pin connected to the
notebook lid. This would fail as I/O memory is handed out only once and
cannot be shared. The workaround disables the region check for the
specified GPIO I/O memory regions and provides both drivers shared
access to the regions.
This is a preliminary workaround. A general solution should separate the
GPIO driver into a component (e.g., platform driver) that regulates
accesses by i2c_hid and acpica.
