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 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 increases the Sculpt version to avoid the risk of binary
compatibility clashes with index files published for the just-released
Sculpt 20.02 version.
This adds complete character-generator configurations for English (US),
German (Germany and Switzerland), and French (France and Switzerland).
The configs are manually amended and stripped-down versions of
xkb2ifcfg generated configs.
Issue #3483
By decoupling the leitzentrale from the (contended) boot CPU, the fading
on F12 interferes much less with animations like nano3d deployed in the
runtime.
Fixes#3268
When buiding the sculpt image, the sculpt.run script used to integrate
the current version of the index of the 'depot_user' into the boot
image. At runtime, when the Sculpt partition is selected for "use" this
index - along with the 'pubkey' and 'download' files of the known
depot users - is written to the Sculpt partition.
This has the undesirable effect that a later version of the index
(published some time after the sculpt image was created) would always be
overwritten by the outdated index shipped with the boot image.
The built-in default index was actually a stop-gap solution needed
during the development of Sculpt CE, introduced when the downloading of
index files was not yet supported. Now, with the working download
mechanism, it is no longer needed. Hence, this patch removes the default
index from the sculpt image.
The input for the pkg index is located at gems/run/sculpt/index.
The sculpt.run script uses this input for generating the depot index
file at depot/<user>/index/<version>.
The tool/depot/publish tool support arguments of the form
<user>/index/<version> where <version> corresponds to the Sculpt
version.
Issue #3172
The commented-out <start> nodes are prone to become inconsistent with
the launchers. Hence, this patch removes them. Start nodes should better
be added by the '+' menu, at least initially.
Furthermore, the patch directs requests for the vfs.lib.so ROM to core's
ROM service to reduce the impact of low-level ABI changes (i.e., the
packet-stream layout) on existing vfs/libc-based packages.
On some machines, both the AHCI and NVMe drivers are started within the
[drivers -> dynamic] subsystem. This ultimately exhausted the RAM quota
of this subsystem.
Issue #2987
This patch enables the user to click on a component in the runtime view
to reveal more information such as the used/assigned RAM/caps and
secondary dependencies.
This patch adds a graph of the current runtime state to the
leitzentrale. The topology of the graph depends on the first routing
rule of each component. For this reason, the patch re-orders routing
policies to make the most important route the first in the list.
The user can switch between the runtime view and the inspect window
by clicking on the corresponding menu dialogs. E.g., a click on the
storage dialog reveals the inspect window.
The most important route of each launcher is at the top of routes and
will be used to layout the graph topology of the runtime view.
By caching the state reports generated by the runtime init, the sculpt
manager becomes able to quickly check for the presence of components. So
we can apply routing-dependency checks not only prior starting
components but also while components are running.

The 'Report' route was missing. The commit also removes superfluous
routing rules for IO_PORT, IRQ, and IO_MEM that are captured by the
subsequenting wildcard anyway.
Issue #2909
This patch adds the /config/usb file to Sculpt, which allows then user
to manually define rules for assigning USB devices to clients. The
content is incorporated by the driver manager into the USB driver
configuration. Note that this mechanism does not work for HID devices
because these devices are claimed by the USB driver's built-in HID
support.
Issue #2890
The top-level Sculpt configuration is routing ROM requests for chargen
files from the input_filter to the parent, and this prevents new chargen
files to specified, for instance the German or Workman layout. Route ROM
requests with a combination of label_prefix and label_suffix patterns to
the config_fs_rom component, allowing the input_filter to be dynamically
reconfigurable.
