This patch re-arranges nitpicker's graphics backend in a more modular
and expandable way. Generalized versions of the 'Canvas',
'Chunky_canvas', and 'Pixel_*' classes have been moved to
'os/include/util/' and 'os/include/os'. The only remaining parts that
are specific to nitpicker's needs are a few drawing functions, each
located in a distinct header at 'os/include/nitpicker_gfx/'.
* allow to handle a maximum of packets in parallel
that fits free slots in the ack queue
* stop processing packets, when the driver can't handle
more requests in parallel, and resume packet handling,
when the driver is ready again
To support components, which implement the block session's server side
rpc object, and which doesn't write data to their device backend immediately,
an additional synchronization call is needed. Thereby, clients like for
instance a file system can tell these components, when a synchronization is
required.
Ref #113
* Remove far too low default values from Nic::Connection constructor
* Extend lwip initialization function with desired TX/RX buffer sizes
* Add configuration possibility to libc_lwip_dhcp plugin to define
buffer sizes, like the following:
'<libc tx_buf_size="1M" tx_buf_size="1M"/>'
Fixes#892
This change allows for the testing of cli_monitor's automatic resource
balancing by executing the following command:
start ram_eater --ram-limit 1G --count 5
The command starts 5 instances of a RAM-eating process, which is,
however, able to yield resources when instructed. The RAM quota for the
processes gets automatically extended because of the overly large limit
of 1 GiB, which is far more than CLI monitor's RAM resources (100 MiB).
When the RAM usage hits the preservation limit, CLI monitor broadcasts
yield requests to each ram_eater instance, which allow the scenario to
remain alive.
This patch introduces new commands for dynamically balancing RAM between
subsystems. The 'status' command prints a table with the RAM status of
each subsystem. The 'ram' command changes the quota or a quota limit of
a given subsystem. The quota limit can be defined to allow the on-demand
expansion of the quota. Finally, the 'yield' command can be used to
instruct a subsystem to yield a specified amount of resources.
For trying out the new commands, a so-called 'ram_eater' example has
been added to the 'terminal_mux.run' scenario. This program simulates a
subsystem with a growing demand for resources, yet with the capability
to yield resources when instructed by the parent (i.e., cli_monitor).
Besides implementing the new features, the patch splits the
implementation of 'cli_monitor' into multiple files.
This patch updates the launchpad config to use XML attributes and
removes the built-in default configuration (which is only meaningful
for demo.run anyway).
By splitting Session_policy into two classes, we make it more flexible.
Originally, the constructor accepted solely an args string, which made it
unusable for situations where we already have extracted the session
label (e.g., stored in the session meta data of a server). Now, the
extraction of the label from the args string is performed by the new
Session_label class instead, which, in turn, can be passed to the
constructor of Session_policy.
This change causes a minor API change. The following code
Session_policy policy(session_args);
Must be turned into
Session_label label(session_args);
Session_policy policy(label);
Originally, the convenience utility for accessing a process
configuration came in the form of a header file. But this causes
aliasing problems if multiple compilation units access the config while
the configuration gets dynamically updated. Moving the implementation of
the accessor to the singleton object into a library solves those
problems.
This patch adds support for iterating through a const list. This allows
users of lists to be more rigid with regard to constness. Furthermore,
the patch adds the function 'List::insert_at' for inserting an element
at a specified position. By adding this function, we can remove code
duplication in nitpicker.
This patch extends the 'Parent::session()' and 'Root::session()'
functions with an additional 'affinity' parameter, which is inteded to
express the preferred affinity of the new session. For CPU sessions
provided by core, the values will be used to select the set of CPUs
assigned to the CPU session. For other services, the session affinity
information can be utilized to optimize the locality of the server
thread with the client. For example, to enable the IRQ session to route
an IRQ to the CPU core on which the corresponding device driver (the IRQ
client) is running.
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.
