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.

Since component.cc is no longer linked to core, we can also remove
entrypoint.cc, which was merely a dependency of component.cc.

for the return value wherever a bitfield is read and returned to the user.
Ref #4924
This patch restricts 'Region_map::attach_executable' to create read-only
mappings, while offering the option to map the full rights using a new
'attach_rwx' method.
The 'attach_rwx' method is now used by the dynamic linker to explicitly
attach the linker area with full rwx rights. With the old page-fault
handling code, the execute flag was evaluated only for leaf dataspaces,
not for managed dataspaces while traversing region-map hierarchies.
With the new page-fault handling code, the execute bit is downgraded
to no-execute when passing a managed dataspace that is not attached
as executable.

This patch replaces the former 'address_space' accessor by a new
'with_address_space' interface that grants access to the region map of
the child's address space, but limits the interface lifetime to the
scope of the caller.

This patch ultimatedly removes format strings from Genode's base API.
Users of the former base/snprintf.h and base/console.h headers may
use the free-standing 'format' library hosted in the ports repository.

The new 'Connection' constructor accepts the session label, affinity,
and args as constructor arguments. The session arguments are passed as a
'Genode::String'. This allows for side-stepping the need for rendering a
format string passed to 'Env::session'.
