This is needed to enable VFS plugins to notify VFS clients about file
changes that depend on the plugin configuration, E.g., whenever the vfs_ttf
plugin responds to a font-size change, it generates a watch notification
for the glyphs file. Since the change is independent from I/O, we need
to manually call 'handle_io_progress'.
With the change of nitpicker to the event session interface, the
formerly periodic hovering updates moved to the - now sporadic - input
processing. This has the unfortunate side effect that hovering changes
caused by non-user-input, in particular view-stack changes issued by the
GUI clients that change the view under the current pointer position,
would no longer be reported immediately but only after receiving the
next incoming input event.
This patch reworks the hover handling such that potential hovering
changes due to view-stack operations are evaluated immediately by
those operations, covering the update of the hover report and the
generation of artificial enter/motion events.
Issue #3812
This patch solves a corner case where one long-active job (e.g.,
read-ready request) stays at the beginning of the '_active_jobs' queue
without an ack. In this case, the '_try_acknowledge_jobs' method would
wrongly stop processing the subsequent acknowledgements. In practice,
this can lead to a delayed sending of acknowledgements until new I/O or
client requests occur. In particular, Vim in Sculpt's inspect window
sometimes did not immediately respond to key presses during tab
completion. Here, the read-ready request of the terminal prevented the
acknowledgement for read of directory entry from being delivered until
the next key was pressed.
Fixes#3873
The quota for the argument buffer is already accounted by using the
Attached_ram_dataspace _argument_buffer, which uses the Constraint_ram_allocator
_ram, which uses the Ram_quota_guard from the Session_object. Running on
Sculpt with more than 1000 Subject_info objects/trace IDs the memory
waste become noticeable.
By now, the enumeration of peripheral interrupts on Raspberry Pi 1 was
different in between base-hw kernel and Fiasco.OC. Therefore, hacks were
needed in every driver to request the correct interrupt number dependent
on the kernel. Before reproducing the same in the platform driver for rpi,
we can more easily use the same enumeration with base-hw.

This is a temporary workaround to not harm drivers, which aren't
converted yet to request all device resources including power and
clocks from this new platform driver.
Ref #3863
Introduce the managing_system privilege for components like the
platform_driver to allow it to call system management functionality
that is reserved by kernel or special firmware, e.g., ARM Trusted Firmware.
The former RAM resource configuration attribute `constrain_phys`,
which enabled to constrain the region of physical RAM to be used,
gets replaced by the new, broader managing_system configuration
attribute of a `start` node. It gets enforced by the sandbox library.

When the 'raw' attribute is set to 'yes' the terminal VFS plugin will
ignore control characters. This in necessary for terminal connections
that transport data that contain such characters as part of message.
Fixes#3860.
The driver wrongly rejected a block request for the very last block of
the device, which prevented part_block from successfully parsing the
partition table (when attempting to access the GPT backup).
Fixes#3861
This is a follow-up commit to "nitpicker: make framebuffer and input
optional". It restores the dynamic mode-change support when using
'request_framebuffer="yes"' as needed in scenarios where multiple
nitpicker instances are used in a cascaded way. E.g., Sculpt's
Leitzentrale. The previous version missed to reconstruct the
'_fb_screen' on mode changes.
Issue #3812
This patch prevents nitpicker from requesting a framebuffer and input
session by default because the regular use of nitpicker relies on the
capture-session and event-session interfaces by now.
For supporting the nested use of nitpicker via the gui_fb component, it
is still possible to enable the traditional behavior by explicitely
setting the 'request_input' and 'request_framebuffer' config attributes
to "yes".
Issue #3812
This commit applies the transition from the "Input" session to the "Event"
session to the event-filtering mechansim. The functionality of the
input_filter is now provided by the event_filter. The event filter
requests only one "Event" session as destination for the filter result,
which is usually routed to the nitpicker GUI server. It provides an
"Event" service to which any number of event sources can connect.
The configuration of the filter chain remains almost the same. Only the
declaration of the <input> nodes is no longer needed. Instead, the
configuration must specify <policy> nodes, which define the mapping of
"Event" clients (event sources) to the inputs used in the filter chain.
The patch adjusts all uses of the nitpicker GUI server accordingly such
that the event filter reports events to nitpicker's event service
instead of having nitpicker request an "Input" session. This dissolves
the dependency of nitpicker from input drivers.
Issue #3827
This patch brings the input filter into a shape that is easier to
re-mold into an event filter, reversing the client/server roles of
the component.
* The 'Sink &destination' is no longer passed as constructor argument
to the individual filters but passed as argument to the 'generate'
method. This way, the final destination does not need to exist at
the construction time of the filter chain but can be created on
the fly (clearing the way for using 'Event::Client::with_batch').
* A new 'Source::Filter' interface with the 'apply' method aids the
cascading of filters during 'generate'. The modules now implement
the 'Source::Filter::filter_event' interface instead of the
'Source::Sink::submit_event' interface.
* Since the 'Sink &destination' is no longer a member of the filter
modules, character-repeat events can no longer be emitted in an
ad-hoc way. Instead, the character-repeat mechanism now invokes
a new 'Trigger::trigger_generate' hook that prompts the execution
of the regular 'generate' mechanism by the main program.
This patch is supposed to leave the semantics of the input filter
unchanged (validated by the input_filter.run script).
Issue #3827
This is an intermediate helper component for the transition of input
servers into event clients. It works analogously to the
input_event_bridge but it connects servers instead of clients.
In particular, it can act as glue between a traditional input driver
that provides an input service and the event filter that provides an
event service. Thanks to this component, each driver can be migrated to
the event-client interface individually.
Issue #3827
- base/cancelable_lock.h becomes base/lock.h

Fixes#3819
This patch replaces the use of the "Framebuffer" session interface by
the new "Capture" session interface in all framebuffer drivers. Thanks
to this change, those drivers have become mere clients of the nitpicker
GUI server now, and are no longer critical for the liveliness of the GUI
server.
The patch touches the following areas:
- The actual driver components. The new versions of all drivers have
been tested on the respective hardware. Generally, the drivers
have become simpler.
- The drivers_interactive packages for various boards. The drivers
subsystem no longer provides a "Framebuffer" service but needs a
valid route to the "Capture" service provided by nitpicker.
- The driver manager of Sculpt OS.
- This patch changes the role of the test-framebuffer component from a
framebuffer client to a capture server so that drivers (capture clients)
can be directly connected to the test component without the nitpicker
server.
- Framebuffer driver no longer support the unbuffered mode.
- The fb_bench.run script is no longer very meaningful because it
interplays solely with nitpicker, not with the driver directly.
- All run scripts for graphical scenarios and the related depot
archives got adapted to the change.
Fixes#3813
This patch replaces meta-data allocation during the resize handling by a
new 'Resizeable_texture' type that has all meta data preallocated.
It also replaces the use of pointer return values with the
'Resizeable_texture::with_texture' method.
Issue #3812
Nitpicker used to unconditionally request a framebuffer and input
session. With the transition to the new capture/event session
interfaces, this built-in policy does no longer suffice.
This patch introduces the attributes 'request_framebuffer="yes"' and
'request_input="yes"' (with the default values shown) to nitpicker's
<config> node. If setting those attributes to "no", nitpicker won't
request a "Framebuffer" and "Input" session respectively.
Issue #3812
In the presence of potentially multiple output back ends, this
dirty_rect state must be maintained individually per back end. Instead
of storing the dirty_rect as view-stack member, the view stack now calls
a new 'Damage::mark_as_damaged' interface, which allows nitpicker to
propagate this information to multiple back ends. Unfortunately, the
patch must remove the per-view dirty_rect state.
Issue #3812
This patch simplifies the internal naming of the nitpicker GUI server as
a preparatory step for adding support for the capture session interface.

Fix#3785
Until now, Genode's framebuffer session interface was based on the
RGB565 pixel format. This patch changes the pixel format to 32-bit
XRGB where the X part is ignored. It adapts all graphical applications
and device drivers accordingly.
The patch also adjusts the users of the drivers_interactive packages,
assigning 64 MiB RAM and 1500 caps to the drivers subsystem, which is
sufficient for covering high resolutions at 32 bits per pixel and to
accommodate multi-component USB HID input stacks.
Fixes#3784
The 'vfs_block' component will give access to a VFS file through a
Block session. For more detailed information please look at its
README.
(On a technical note, the server currently only allows for one
active session and has only one pending back end request but can
easily be extended in the future.)
Fixes#3781.
Setting the 'size' attribute will restrict a reader to consume
0s up to the specified amount per VFS handle. The attribute is
parsed as 'Number_of_bytes', which will limit the amount to the
maximum of the addressable memory on the platform.
This addition comes in handy when needing to provide a synthetic
empty file with a fixed size.
Issue #3781.
So far the condition whether to spawn a new job or not depended on
the amount of data already processed. This could lead to spawning
more jobs than necessary if batching is used and in return could
result in creating invalid requests in case the tested block session
is not large enough.
In addition to checking the amount of data the test now stores the
number of the last block and checks if the current request is in
range. This properly limits the total amount of requests.
Issue #3781.
The seek offset has to be updated on partial writes according to the
current write position. Otherwise writes will override the content

The blit API archive missed the CPU-architecture-specific variants of

- Since Genode::strncpy is not 100% compatible with the POSIX
strncpy function, better use a distinct name.

Fixes#3752
The former ldso-startup static library (now called ldso_so_support) is
used to spice each shared object/library with local support code for the
dynamic linker (execution of static constructors and ARM-EABI).
Therefore, the library must be statically linked to each dynamic
library.
As a result recipes for dynamic libraries must always depend on the "so"
API, which makes ldso_so_support.mk and so_support.c available
independent of "base". Additionally, ldso_so_support is also provided in
the libc API to cut the dependency early for libc/posix libraries.
