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'.

Fix the wrong assumption about isochronous packets being always send
with maximum EP's packet size. Instead the isochronous cache now contains
a sizes array to deal with arbitrary packet sizes.

For consistency reasons, remove the cortex_a8, cortex_a9, and cortex_a15
spec directories. Such SPEC variables do not exist since a while.
Also rename remaining translation_table.h header to page_table.h to

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
For each packet that got stuck with an ARP-cache miss, the router used to send
one ARP request and create one ARP waiter. However, in situations where many
packets target the same IP at one destination domain and during a short period
of time, this causes unnecessary session-quota consumption and network traffic.
This issue becomes especially pressing when taking malicious source peers,
absent destination peers, and packet batching into account.
Therefore, with this commit, the router can accumulate multiple source packets
with the same destination IP at one ARP waiter. This means, that only the first
packet with an ARP-cache for a certain IP sends an ARP request and creates an
ARP waiter. For situations where the ARP request is not answered, this
essentially rate-limits ARP requests for one IP at one destination domain
according to the lifetime of ARP waiters (default: 10s)
Ref #4534
The router used to send an ARP request for a packet before allocating the
corresponding ARP waiter. If the ARP waiter could not be allocated due to
resource exhaustion plus emergency free failed, the packet got dropped and the
router had produced unnecessary network traffic. The commit fixes this by
sending only after successful allocation.
Ref #4534
The previous default packet-batch count of 150 (<config
max_packets_per_signal>) was choosen with the only goal of preventing
starvation by huge amounts of packets from one session.
However, there is something else to keep in mind. A packet that is found to
require ARP sends an ARP request and becomes blocked after having consumed
resources. This means, that, in the worst case, the router used to send 150 ARP
requests and consume resources 150 times before making it even possible for the
outer world to react and cause resources to be freed.
With this additional scenario in mind, the default batch size should be
significantly lower.

poll(2) needs to handle invalid file descriptors in the pollfd struct,
specifically -1 as it may be used to disable entries in the fds[] array.
Fix a possible nullptr dereference by checking the File_descriptor
pointer returned by find_by_libc_fd() for validity and skip processing
of any unresolved FDs, effectively implementing standard POSIX
semantics.

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
So far, this test used dynamic_rom for the re-configuration of the nic router
and tested for the expected ping results by inspecting the log with the run
tool. However, this approach had two issues:
* Timing differs significantly on different targets and so the dynamic_rom had
the difficult task of compensating with heuristics without bloating the test
duration too much.
* In case of a failing test, it was difficult to determine the cause as the
test kept running and produced output for quite some time and there was also
no specific error message but only a generic timeout.
These two issues are now fixed by introducing a test component that listens to
the ping-result report and manages the nic router configuration. The new
component exits early on failure and provides information on the error
circumstances. Furthermore, the component advances to the next test step only
after having seen the expected result of the active test step and thereby
removes the need for heuristics about target timing.
