This patch replaces the use of 'core_env()' in 'platform_services.cc' by
the function arguments 'core_ram', 'core_rm', and 'io_port_ranges'.
It also removes the 'Pd_session' argument from 'Io_port_root' and
'Irq_root' to avoid the reliance on the 'Pd_session' interface within
core,
Issue #5408
Replace the use of the global 'core_env()' accessor by the explicit
delegation of interfaces.
- For allocating UTCBs in base-hw, 'Platform_thread' requires
a way to allocate dataspaces ('Ram_allocator') accounted to the
corresponding CPU session, a way to locally map the allocated
dataspaces (core's 'Region_map'), and a way to determine the
physical address (via 'Rpc_entrypoint') used for the initial
UTCB mapping of main threads. Hence those interfaces must be
passed to 'Platform_thread'.
- NOVA's pager code needs to look up 'Cpu_thread_component'
objects using a map item as key. The lookup requires the
'Rpc_entrypoint' that hold the 'Cpu_thread_component' objects.
To make this 'Rpc_entrypoint' available, this patch adds
the 'init_page_fault_handing' function.
- The 'Region_map_mmap' for Linux requires a way to look up
'Linux_dataspace' objects for given dataspace capabilities.
This lookup requires the 'Rpc_entrypoint' holding the dataspaces,
which is now passed to 'platform.cc' via the new Linux-specific
'Core_region_map::init' function.
Issue #5408
`Vm_session_component::create_vcpu()` is present across all supported
kernels, yet until now it was not part of the `Vm_session` interface.
Add the method to the `Vm_session` interface. This unifies calls in the
base library and is the basis to remove the need for a common base class
for separate `Vm_session` implementations for SVM and VMX on x86_64.
Issue #5221
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'
Issue #5245Fixes#5070
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.
Issue #5245Fixes#5250
Remove the "excellent" idea to re-open /dev/stdout etc. for redirection as
cmake uses open(O_TRUNC) and, thus, truncates log output of outer
redirections.
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
By splitting the 'init_capability_slab()' implementation to a separate
compilation unit 'capability_slab.cc', base-hw no longer needs a
customized version of 'lib/base/platform.cc'.
Related to issue #4784
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.
