Instatiate a separate pager thread for each cpu core. Every time a pager
object gets managed by the Pager_entrypoint, assign it to the pager thread
on the same cpu core.

* Rename Kernel::Cpu_job to Kernel::Cpu_context (alias Kernel::Cpu::Context)
* State first Cpu affinity of Cpu::Context at construction time
* Move cpu affinity argument from kernel syscall create_thread to start_thread
* Ensure that Cpu pointer is always valid

In case invalid IRQ numbers are used (255 on x86), the IRQ session creation
request may be denied and the platform driver is killed because of the
uncatched exception, which must be avoided.
Issue #5406
This was a relic from a time where we dumped the page tables from NOVA
and therefore needed to attach the corresponding dataspaces.
genodelabs/genode#5066
On x86, the `Vm_session_component` obscured the differences between SVM
and VMX.
Separate the implementations, factor out common functionality and
address a number of long-standing issues in the process:
- Allocate nested page tables from Core_ram_allocator as a more suitable
abstraction and account for the required memory, subtract the
necessary amount of RAM from the session's `Ram_quota` *before*
constructing the session object, to make sure that the memory
allocated from the `Core_ram_allocator` is available from the VMM's
RAM quota.
- Move the allocation of Vcpu_state and Vcpu_data into the Core::Vcpu
class and use the Core RAM Allocator to allocate memory with a known
physical address.
- Remove the fixed number of virtual CPUs and the associated reservation
of memory by using a Registry for a flexible amount of vCPUs.
Issue #5221
This patch allows for the construction of 'Xml_node' objects from a
'Const_byte_range_ptr' argument as a safer alternative to the pair
of addr, max_len arguments.
Issue #5411
The pointer returned by '_logger()' can be a nullptr, in particular
while tracing is (temporarily) inhibited. This patch ensures that
the 'Thread::trace' accessors never operate on a nullptr.
Fixes#5410
If the memory for the designated object is allocated as char[sizeof(T)],
the size of 'Placeable' is expected to equal the size of T. However, in
principle, the compiler has the freedom to inflate the 'Placeable'
object. The static assertion gives us the assurance that the compiler
does not violate our assumption.
This exposes makes the dialog API usable for users of Goa. It turns the
former static dialog library to a shared object and accompanied symbols
file, and adds depot recipes for the library and API.
Issue #5409
To enable a global key handler to implement motion gestures while a
global key is held, it needs to know the current pointer position at the
time when the global key sequence starts. This is prerequisite for
the window layouter's ability to drag windows by clicking anywhere
within the window while holding a global key.
Issue #5403
This allows the window layouter to ensure that input entered after
switching to an empty screen won't be routed to the old focused but
no longer visible window.
Issue #5390
This patch enforces the invariant that absolute motion events are
delivered to the hovered client only. If no client is hovered, the event
is discarded.
Otherwise, in a situation where no client is hovered (i.e., due to a
background that does not cover the entire screen) but a focus is
defined, absolute motion events would be delivered to the focused
session. From a client's perspective, when moving the pointer from the
client to emptiness, the client would observe a leave event followed by
absolute motion. This, in turn, confuses the window manager, which
expects that the receiver of an absolute motion event is hovered.
Fixes#5375
This patch adjusts the last remaining callers of 'core_env' and removes
the 'Core_env' interface.
- Core's RAM/cap accounts are now represented by 'Core_account'
implementing the 'Pd_account' interface.
- The former parts of 'Core_env' are now initialized in sequence
in 'bootstrap_component'.
- 'Core_child' has been moved to a header to reduce the code in
'main.cc' to a bare minimum. This as a preparation for the
plan of making 'main.cc' specific for each kernel.
Fixes#5408
Core uses an instance of 'Pd_session_component' as a representative
for RAM/cap quota accounts used whenever session resources are
donated to core's services. All other facets of 'Pd_sesson_component'
remain unused. Core's instance of 'Pd_session_component' is hosted
at 'Core_env'. Upon its construction, all unused facets of
'Pd_session_component' are initialized by dummy arguments in 'Core_env'.
To overcome the need for dummy arguments, this patch splits the
accounting part of the PD-session interface into a separate
'Pd_account' interface. This gives us the prospect of narrowing
core's current use of 'Pd_session_component' by 'Pd_account',
alleviating dead code and the need for any dummy arguments.
Issue #5408
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.

Make preferred microphone configurable when a headset is plugged in by
introducing the 'mic_priority' attribute for the <config> node. Values
can be "internal" and "external".
