This interface change gives GUI servers the freedom to allocate view
capabilities at the time of request instead of the creation time of the
view. This is useful because view capabilities are rarely needed.
Issue #5242
This patch moves the management of view IDs from the server to the
client side. The former 'create_view' and 'create_child_view'
operations do no longer return a view ID but take a view ID as
argument. While changing those operations, this patch takes the
opportunity to allow for initial view attributes. Combined, those
changes simplify the window manager while accommodating typical
client use cases with less code.
To ease the client-side ID management, the Gui::Connection hosts
a 'view_ids' ID space for optional use. E.g., the new 'Top_level_view'
class uses this ID space for ID allocation. This class accommodates the
most typical use case of opening a single window.
The 'alloc_view_id' RPC function is no longer needed.
Issue #5242
This patch reworks the view-ID handling within the nitpicker GUI server
and the window manager. The namespace of view handles are now represented
as an Id_space. In constrast to the former "handles", which could be
invalid, IDs cannot be semantically overloaded with anything other than
an actual view reference. There is no notion of an invalid handle.
IDs are like C++ references (which cannot be a nullptr).
This change requires the code to be more explicit. E.g., the stacking of
a few at the front-most position can no longer be expressed by passing
an invalid handle as neighbor.
Issue #5242
Express the allocation of a new view handle by a dedicated RPC function
instead of passing an invalid view handle to the existing 'view_handle'
function.
This eliminates the notion of invalid view handles at the GUI session
interface, clearing the way for managing view handles via an Id_space.
Issue #5242
This patch eliminates the use of invalid view handles as special
Session::Command arguments. The TO_FRONT and TO_BACK operations
interpreted as invalid neighbor as top-most or back-most position.
Those corner cases are now expressed via dedicated commands. The
new stacking commands are FRONT, BACK, FRONT_OF, and BEHIND_OF.
While changing the command interface, the patch removes the OP_
prefix from the opcode values.
Issue #5242
- Rename framebuffer_session to framebuffer and
input_session to input as those RPC interfaces are no longer
meant to be used as stand-alone sessions.
- Host Connection::input and Connection::framebuffer as public
members, thereby removing the use of pointers. This simplifies
the client-sized code. E.g., '_gui.input()->pending()' becomes
'_gui.input.pending()'.
Issue #5242
To maintain ease of use at the client side, the OUT_OF_RAM and
OUT_OF_CAPS results are handled at the 'Gui::Connection' now.
Gui::Connection does not inherit the Gui::Session interface any longer,
which allows for the use of different result types.
Issue #5242
Issue #5245
This patch replaces the optional parent argument of the create_view
RPC function by a dedicated create_child_view RPC function. This
is a preparatory step of removing the notion of an invalid handle
as a special case.

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.

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

- Turn Point, Area, and Rect into compound types, making x, y, w, h, at,
area accessible without a method call
- 'Rect::Compound' function for constructing a 'Rect' from two points,
replacing a former constructor
- Use result type 'Rect::Cut_remainder' instead of out parameters.
Fixes#5239
This patch turns 'Color' from a class to a POD type by replacing
the constructors by the named create functions 'rgb', 'clamped_rgb',
and 'clamped_rgba'. It thereby enables the initialization of Color
values using { .r = ... } syntax and makes the type usable in const
expressions.
It also narrows the type for color components and alpha values to
uint8_t. So possible integer overflows of computed values are detected
by -Wconversion.
As 'Color::rgb(0, 0, 0)' is repeatedly used as a default value, the
patch adds the 'Color::black()' function.

Issue #5174
Instead of using one default policy when creating an mmc driver's
configuration, produce some more static policy items to support
boards with more than one card per driver (mnt_reform2).
Both keys are physically the same on available keyboards (with varying
labeling). Unfortunately, PS/2 scancode sets and USB HID spec seem to
differ slightly in their interpretation. Therefore, we keep the
driver-level reporting as is but report both as KEY_PRINT in Sculpt,
which allows to use the key(s) for screenshoter rules most prominently.
Also, unify sculpt/event_filter/pc with sculpt_manager.
With the current RAM setting, opening the inspect window fails on a
display with 4K resolution.
Adjust the inspect window's RAM quota to make it work.

This patch addresses corner cases not considered so far. In particular,
it avoids placing the Add/Options tabs of an unscrollable popup under
the panel. This could happen in the presence of many options. The patch
includes the panel height into the calculation to rule out such
situations. It also tightens the scrolling boundaries to the visible
content.

This patch handles intermediate situations where the screen mode may
become 1 x 1 (absence of any capture clients). In this case, the
decoration of a maximized window would legitimately exceed the screen
boundary.

The blanking state is evaluated by the intel_fb driver, which will switch
off all connectors. When done, the intel_fb driver will exit and the
sculpt_manager will continue with the next step, stopping all drivers.

This commit adds missing routes to I2c for the framebuffer driver of the
MNT Reform. If build for this concrete board the Board_info::Soc variable
within the sculpt_manager is initialized according to the properties of
this device. The `update_soc` routine is called in the initialization of
the sculpt_manager, otherwise it won't be called at all, if no PCI devices
changes are detected. Missing driver binaries and device-tree-binaries are
add to the run-script.

A network card can be provided by PCI, and the SoC as well. Therefore,
add an additional state variable in the Board_info::Soc, and check it
appropriatedly.

Commit "sculpt: safeguard the offering of suspend/resume" was too lax
about the detection of acpi support. In situations where acpi support
is selected but not yet installed, the menu would offer the features
already. This patch restricts the condition such that acpi support must
be running, not merely selected.
Issue #5174
In contrast to platforms, like the PC, where the fb driver selection
is a dynamic decision depending on the available hardware, on current
ARM-based SoC machines this configuration is part of the static board
information.

The USB host controller gets restarted during the suspend-resume cycle.
Hence, don't offer suspend while any USB storage device is in use, in
particular when deploying Sculpt from a USB stick.
Suspend/resume is not supposed to work with any framebuffer driver other
than intel_fb. Therefore, offer the suspend feature only when using intel_fb.
Issue #5174
The automatic restart of intel_fb got lost during the transition from
the driver manager. This commit restores the heartbeat monitoring of
this driver.
Issue #5174
This patch enhances the sculpt manager to drive the system state
and manage the lifecycle of driver components during suspend-
resume cycles.
The new Power options can be found in the System menu. The suspend
and power-off controls are presented only when the acpi-support
option is activated.
Note that the USB controller is hard restarted when resuming from
suspend. Hence, all components that depend on USB are restarted
implicitely.

This commits updates the contrib sources to version 8.7.1.
This version requires more random entropy as it queries OpenSSL

configurations seems satisfactory.
Furthermore DNS resolving needs a configured '<pipe>' plugin to work
properly.

Since "sculpt: adjust nitpicker priority", the nitpicker GUI server no
longer runs at the highest priority, yet the runtime_view of the
leitzentrale UI continued to operate at the highest priority.
On slower machines, this results in a visible interference of the CPU-
heavy rendering of the runtime_view with the (now) lower-prioritized
nitpicker, in particular laggy pointer movements.
This commit subordinates the leitzentrale components below the priority
of nitpicker to prevent this interference.
It also simplifies the priority scheme at the static system init: The
timer has the highest priority whereas all other components use the
priority band -1.
Issue #5174
The hard resource limit introduced by "sculpt: upper limit for automatic
quota upgrading" is too conservative for typical use cases of the RAM
fs. This commit makes the limit adjustable per managed component and
relaxes the limit for the RAM fs and depot_rom from 256 MiB to 2 GiB.
Issue #5174
Allow tweaking the driver selection using the manager config:
- The new attribute 'ps2="no"' suppresses the selection of the PS/2 driver.
- The new attribute 'intel_gpu="no"'suppresses the selection of the
Intel GPU and fb drivers, letting Sculpt fall back to VESA or boot-fb.
Note that the dynamic change of those attributes is handled in principle
but not advisable. E.g., disabling the intel driver after startup leaves
the hardware in a state that the VESA driver cannot cope with. However,
when statically defining the attributes in sculpt/manager/default, it is
now possible to build an image that uses VESA on an intel machine.
Issue #5174
The existing allocation scheme of window IDs has the unwelcome effect
that a re-appearing window would not always result in a visible change
of the window list. In such cases, the layouter and decorator would not
be prompted to do their job. This effect could be observered with the
multi-dialog version of menu view in Sculpt OS when manually enforcing
the restart of the runtime_view. Sometimes the panel would not re-appear
after the restart.
This patch changes the allocation of window ID such that new windows get
fresh IDs instead of reusing an ID of a recently disappeared window.
Issue #5170
This patch replaces the former use of one menu-view component per dialog
by a single menu view presenting all dialogs. This change reduces the
runtime config by about 20%, improves the boot time, and lowers RAM and
CPU usage at runtime.

The font pointers cached in labels can become dangling when the style
database is updated, as happens when changing the font size dynamically.
This patch orderly updates the cached pointers before removing
out-of-date font entries from the style database.
Related to issue #5170
This patch equips the menu-view component with the ability to present
more than one dialog at a time. The dialogs must be declared in the
<config> node as follows.
<config>
...
<dialog name="settings"/>
</config
For each dialog, menu view requests a dedicated ROM session labeled after
the dialog name. The corresponding GUI session is also labeled as such.
Note that only one hover report is generated responding to all dialogs.
The hover report can be correlated with the hovered dialog by inspecting
the the 'name' attribute of the hover report's <dialog> sub node.
The former global config attributes 'xpos', 'ypos', 'width', 'height',
'opaque', and 'background' have become attributes of the <dialog> node.
Fixes#5170
GPU drivers always reside in the runtime subsystem now.
This patch eliminates the risk of requesting a GPU session at the
drivers subsystem, which never gets established.

The new VFS OSS plugin utilizes the Record and Play session. For the
time being it is a drop-in replacement for the old plugin and shares
its limitations.
In contrast to the old plugin it is possible to force a client to
use a configured fragment size. Some clients work best with larger
fragments, e.g. VBox, where raising the minimal fragment size is
beneficial.
Please look at the README file for more information.
