This would have caught the reduction in header padding with LLD 14.
In theory, we could just get rid of the hard-coded kernel CPU address
ranges altogether and use ksupport.elf as the one source of truth; the
code already exists in dyld. The actual base address of the file would
still need to be forwarded to the kernel-side libunwind glue, though,
as there doesn't seem to be a clean way to get the equivalent of
KSUPPORT_HEADER_SIZE through the linker script. I have left this as-is
with the hard-coded KERNELCPU_… constants for now.
Previous linker versions had inserted some zero padding bytes
between the ELF headers and the first section, but LLD 14 does
not anymore.
Hard-coding the offset of the first section in ksupport.elf
manually isn't ideal; we should probably parse the ELF program
headers instead when first setting up the kernel CPU.
Receiving an empty string in an RPC call currently panics.
When `length` is zero, a call to the `alloc` function (as implemented in `artiq/firmware/runtime/session.rs`) returns a null pointer. Constructing a `CMutSlice` from a null pointer panics.
A `CMutSlice` consists of a pointer and the length. Rust's documentation of the `core::ptr` module states: "The canonical way to obtain a pointer that is valid for zero-sized accesses is `NonNull::dangling`."
This commits adds a check for the length of a string received in an RPC call. Only for lengths greater than zero a memory allocation is performed. For zero-length strings, a dangling pointer is used.
Test plan:
Invoke the following experiment, which returns an empty string over RPC:
```
class ReturnEmptyString(artiq.experiment.EnvExperiment):
def build(self):
self.core: Core = self.get_device("core")
@kernel
def run(self):
x = self.do_rpc()
print(x)
@rpc
def do_rpc(self) -> TStr:
return ""
```

Change initialization behaviour of GTX transceivers
--
Modify the config parms CPLL of GTX transceiver for PLL to lock correctly
Modify the enabling requirement of GTX input clock buffer IBUFDS_GTE2 so
that it depends on GTX PLL locked signal instead of TX Init Done
Modify the GTX Init FSM so that BruteForceClock Aligner can reset GTX
transceiver without resetting the GTX transceiver PLL
kasli-soc: fix of SYS CLK switch failure
Changed initialization of GTX transceivers.
Successful SYS CLK switching requires IBUFDS_GTE2 to be properly enabled and not disabled during GTX transceiver initialization.
For this reason, CPLL is not reset during GTX initialization and clock alignment.
kasli-soc: refractor fix of SYS CLK switch failure
Remove gtXxreset & cpllreset assertion and deassertion
The removed code does not affect the fix
