This patch clears the terminal each time the menu appears and thereby
wipes away artifacts that might occur when combining terminal_mux with
kdb_uart_drv and the kernel prints messages directly.
The new terminal_mux server is able to provide multiple terminal
sessions over one terminal-client session. The user can switch
between the different sessions using the keyboard shortcut C-y,
which brings up an ncurses-based menu.
This patch moves the further reusable parts of the terminal into public
header files. It also slightly tweaks the color table to give all colors
a similar brightness level.
This patch simplifies the way of how Genode's base libraries are
organized. Originally, the base API was implemented in the form of many
small libraries such as 'thread', 'env', 'server', etc. Most of them
used to consist of only a small number of files. Because those libraries
are incorporated in any build, the checking of their inter-dependencies
made the build process more verbose than desired. Also, the number of
libraries and their roles (core only, non-core only, shared by both core
and non-core) were not easy to capture.
Hereby, the base libraries have been reduced to the following few
libraries:
- startup.mk contains the startup code for normal Genode processes.
On some platform, core is able to use the library as well.
- base-common.mk contains the parts of the base library that are
identical by core and non-core processes.
- base.mk contains the complete base API implementation for non-core
processes
Consequently, the 'LIBS' declaration in 'target.mk' files becomes
simpler as well. In the most simple case, only the 'base' library must
be mentioned.
Fixes#18
This patch introduces keyboard-focus events to the 'Input::Event' class
and changes the name 'Input::Event::keycode' to 'code'. The 'code'
represents the key code for PRESS/RELEASE events, and the focus state
for FOCUS events (0 - unfocused, 1 - focused).
Furthermore, nitpicker has been adapted to deliver FOCUS events to its
clients.
Fixes#609
Set the right bg color instead of using a dimmed version of the fg
color. The colors are stored in the first 6 bits of the color index.
Thereby the first 3 bits contain the fg and the second 3 bits the
bg color.
The debug message in _handle_esc_seq5() now shows the sequence in
question.
Fixes#495.
The terminal has a lot of bits that may be worth reusing outside the
single implementation. Those bits are now located at 'include/terminal'
in the gems repository.
sgr0 is currently implemented as a wrapper of sgr(0) which
seems to work fine.
For now we accept but ignore certain sgr sequences like for
example [0;10;1m which is generated by lynx even when using
TERM=linux (I am not sure yet if that's actually valid at all).
Though the initial commit contains nicer looking color definitions
it is easier to spot wrong colors when using a program that uses
ncurses like for example lynx.
Fixes#284.
This commit adds a terminal_log component, and a run-script which demonstrates
its usage. The terminal_log component provides the LOG service, and prints
every log-output prefixed by the session-label via a terminal-session.
This patch increases the stack size of entrypoint threads in the PCI and
PS/2 drivers, in the Terminal server and in the Signal service for 64-bit
Genode/Fiasco.OC built with -O0.
Fixes#198.
This patch introduces support for ROM sessions that update their
provided data during the lifetime of the session. The 'Rom_session'
interface had been extended with the new 'release()' and 'sigh()'
functions, which are needed to support the new protocol. All ROM
services have been updated to the new interface.
Furthermore, the patch changes the child policy of init
with regard to the handling of configuration files. The 'Init::Child'
used to always provide the ROM dataspace with the child's config file
via a locally implemented ROM service. However, for dynamic ROM
sessions, we need to establish a session to the real supplier of the ROM
data. This is achieved by using a new 'Child_policy_redirect_rom_file'
policy to handle the 'configfile' rather than handling the 'configfile'
case entirely within 'Child_config'.
To see the new facility in action, the new 'os/run/dynamic_config.run'
script provides a simple scenario. The config file of the test program
is provided by a service, which generates and updates the config data
at regular intervals.
In addition, new support has been added to let slaves use dynamic
reconfiguration. By using the new 'Child_policy_dynamic_rom_file', the
configuration of a slave can be changed dynamically at runtime via the
new 'configure()' function.
The config is provided as plain null-terminated string (instead of a
dataspace capability) because we need to buffer the config data anyway.
So there is no benefit of using a dataspace. For buffering configuration
data, a 'Ram_session' must be supplied. If no 'Ram_session' is specified
at construction time of a 'Slave_policy', no config is supplied to the
slave (which is still a common case).
An example for dynamically reconfiguring a slave is provided by
'os/run/dynamic_config_slave.run'.
The old variant provided 8K capability slots to all processes on core,
which increased binaries by 180 KB for the static allocator. I reduced it
to 4K capabilities stay under 100 KB overhead for the allocator.
Anyway, pci_drv and pl11x_drv need more RAM quota now: 2M for pl11x_drv
and 1M for pci_drv.
This patch makes use of the recently added support for const RPC
functions by turning 'Framebuffer::Session::mode()' and
'Input::Session::is_pending()' into const functions.
The new d3m component is the designated device-driver manager for the
upcoming live CD. It addresses the auto probing of USB storage and ATAPI
boot devices (issue #94) and the aggregation of user input coming from
USB HID and PS/2.
As a preliminary step for working on issue #11, this patch revisits the
'Framebuffer::info' RPC call. Instead of using C-style out paramters,
the new 'mode()' RPC call returns the mode information as an object of
type 'Mode'. Consequently, mode-specific functions such as
'bytes_per_pixel' have been moved to the new 'Framebuffer::Mode' class.
This patch changes decouples the conversion of the terminal state to
pixels from the write RPC function. Intermediate terminal states
produced by sub sequential write operations do not end up on screen one
by one but only the final state becomes visible. This drastically
improves the speed of scrolling through large text output.
