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.

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
- 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.
Fixes#5239
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
The classes Genode::Mmio, Genode::Register_set, Genode::Attached_mmio, and
Platform::Device::Mmio now receive a template parameter 'size_t SIZE'. In each
type that derives from one of these classes, it is now statically checked that
the range of each Genode::Register::Register- and
Genode::Register_set::Register_array-deriving sub-type is within [0..SIZE).
That said, SIZE is the minimum size of the memory region provided to the above
mentioned Mmio classes in order to avoid page faults or memory corruption when
accessing the registers and register arrays declared inside.
Note, that the range end of a register array is not the end of the last item
but the end of integer access that is used for accessing the last bit in the
last item.
The constructors of Genode::Mmio, Genode::Attached_mmio, and
Platform::Device::Mmio now receive an argument 'Byte_range_ptr range' that is
expected to be the range of the backing memory region. In each type that derives
from on of these classes, it is now dynamically checked that 'range.num_bytes
>= SIZE', thereby implementing the above mention protection against page faults
and memory corruption.
The rest of the commit adapts the code throughout the Genode Labs repositories
regarding the changes. Note that for that code inside Core, the commits mostly
uses a simplified approach by constructing MMIO objects with range
[base..base+SIZE) and not with a mapping- or specification-related range size.
This should be fixed in the future.
Furthermore, there are types that derive from an MMIO class but don't declare
any registers or register arrays (especially with Platform::Device::Mmio). In
this case SIZE is set to 0. This way, the parameters must be actively corrected
by someone who later wants to add registers or register arrays, plus the places
can be easily found by grep'ing for Mmio<0>.
Fix#4081
Per default Tslab checks that 8 slabs incl. overhead fit into one block.
If this is not desired the template parameter 'MIN_SLABS_PER_BLOCK' can
be used to control the minimum number of blocks.
Fixes#3834
The argument was originally designated to restrict the reach of the
trace monitor but the idea remained unimplemented. It is now superseded
by the use of the trace-session label as trace-subject filter.
Issue #847
By adding the `irq_type` argument, one can explicitly specify whether to
use LEGACY, MSI or MSI-X interrupts. We formerly used the
`device_phys_config` to implicitly select MSI, however, with the
addition of IOMMU support to the platform driver there is at least one
instance where we need an MSI for a non-PCI device.
Yet, by adding another session argument to the Irq session, we exceed
the character limit for session args. Since not all arguments are
relevant for LEGACY interrupts resp. MSI, we can split the Irq_connection
constructor to handle the two cases separately and omit unneeded
arguments.
genodelabs/genode#5002
This patch replaces the original policy-based 'update_from_xml' by a new
method that takes three functors for creating, destroying, and updating
elements as arguments. XML nodes are associated with their corresponding
internal data models by annotating the element type with the
'type_matches' class function and the 'matches' method.
The patch also improves safety by enforcing that list-model elements can
never be copied.
Fixes#4317
The 'Xml_node::differs_from' method takes the constructor arguments
(addr, size) for a byte-wise comparison whereas 'with_raw_node'
restricts the byte range to the actual XML tags. In cases where
the XML start tag is preceeded by whitespace, both ranges can differ.
Since the 'differs_from' method is meant for comparing actual XML
nodes - not any whitespace around them - whitespace should be ignored
on both operands.
Issue #5029
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.
Fixes#5009
The new API emphasizes control over the vCPU data by granting access
through the Vcpu::with_state() method, which makes sure that the vCPU is
stopped, invokes the supplied function with a reference to the VM state
and resumes the vCPU if the function returns true.
The old Vcpu::run(), Vcpu::pause() and Vcpu::state() methods are removed
in favor of the new API. Execution of the vCPU is now interrupted by
sending a native Genode Signal to its Vcpu_handler, which will run the
VMM's exit handling method. When this method retrieves the vCPU state by
calling Vcpu::with_state(), the outside interruption is detected and on
x86 a recall exit is injected into the state to signal the vCPU
interruption / pause request to the VMM's vCPU handler.

Depending on the client and use-case the current minimal timeout
value of 5 ms could be too high, lowering it to 1 ms stays within
the limit imposed by most timer drivers.
Issue #4990.
The last character should only be skipped if a `\0` or `\n` is found. If
the string ends without such a character or the maximum line length is
hit, we do not skip the last character.
