This commit turns the '+' menu into a tool for the following tasks:
- Selecting and downloading of depot index files
- Browsing of the hierarchical depot index files
- Installation of packages found in the index files
- Interactive routing configuration of a selected package
- Deployment of configured component
Sculpt used to restrict the size of leitzentrale windows to the screen
area that is not obstructed by the menu and log. This is useful for the
runtime view and the inspect window. However, the menu should be allowed
to use the entire screen because it overlays the other content.
Before this patch, the menu wouldn't be displayed completely on small
resolutions (e.g., 1024x768 when using the VESA driver) because the log
at the bottom of the screen imposed the size constraint on the menu.
With the patch, the menu is able to overlay the log window.
This patch enhances the runtime view such that not only immediate
dependencies but also all transitive dependencies of the selected
component are displayed. This way, the graph nicely reveals the
trusted computing base of the selection.
Instead of parsing the runtime's configuration each time when generating
the graph dialog (e.g., when changing the hover state), extract the
relevant information only on configuration changes.
The runtime view, launcher query, and depot query increase the
complexity of the graph without providing a tangible value to the user.
This patch omits those components from the runtime view to make the
graph less confusing.
Append "..." to button labels whenever the button does not perform an
immediate action but merely toggles user-interface elements. This
tells the user that the button can be pressed without risk.
With this commit, the 'installation' input of the depot-download
subsystem accepts <index> nodes in addition to <archive> nodes. Each
index node refers to one index file specified via the 'path' attribute.
This commit also improves the tracking of failure states. Once an
installation job failed (due to a download of verification error),
it won't get re-scheduled. In the past, such failure states were not kept
across subsequent import iterations, which could result in infinite
re-attempts when an installation contained archives from multiple users.
The the progress of the download process is now reflected by the
"progress" attribute on the download manager's state report, which
allows the final report to contain the list of installed/failed archives
along with the overall progress/completed state. The detection of the
latter is important for the sculpt manager for reattempting the
deployment of the completed packages.
The patch enhances the depot_download.run script to stress the new
abilities. In particular, the scenario downloads a mix of index files
(one present, one missing) and archives, from two different depot users
(genodelabs and nfeske).
Issue #3172
This prevents the situation where the user has booted the system, has
not yet selected a storage target to "use" for Sculpt, yet clicks on the
'+' menu. Such clicks show no immediate response because Sculpt cannot
know where to deploy the selected package. But since the user is not
guided towards resolving this prerequisite, it's better to not present
the menu in the first place. The '+' appears as soon as a storage target
is selected for "use".
This error message may occur during the startup of a multi-component
application when the very first dialog is generated just after the menu
view is ready. It is not an error.
This commit adds the following styles:
button/enter - for entering a sub menu
button/back - for returning from a sub menu
button/radio - for picking one item of a list
button/checkbox - for making a selection
frame/transient - for temporary GUI elements
The minimal-footprint Ada runtime for implementing library-like
functionality in SPARK is now called "spark" runtime.
The full Ada runtime for entire components written in Ada and using the
libc as glue to the underlying system will move to the world repository
as "ada" runtime.
Issue #3144
In less interactive mode, the run script doesn't give up on missing test
archives but instead removes the corresponding tests and marks them "missing".
This mode avoids total failure of a platform in automated test infrastructures
when only a few archives are missing.
Fixes#3120
This patch improves the appearance of the leitzentrale by eliminating
the (hardly visible) decorations from the GUI and graph views, and by
animating the motion of the graph position. The latter is meant to
remove the stuttering effect when the graph's size changes (and
re-centered).
This patch supplements the dragging state of window controls to the
window layout so that decorators become able to visually reflect this
state, i.e., pressing the title bar while moving a window.
Issue #3097
This commit adds the optional 'motion=<number>' attribute to the
decorator's <policy> nodes. The default value is 0. If a value higher
than 0 is specified, window-geometry changes are applied as an animation
where the <number> denotes the number of animation steps.
Issue #3096
This patch adds the boolean policy attribute "decoration", which
controls whether window decorations are presented or not. It is enabled
by default. By setting the attribute to "no", matching windows appear
without any border, which is desireable for Sculpt's component graph.
Issue #3096
This patch improves the window decorators in the following respects:
* Strict warnings are enabled now.
* The use of the 'List_model' makes the application of window-
layout changes more robust. This is particularly the case for
the restacking of windows.
* Display-mode changes are now supported by both decorators.
Issue #3094
Adds an config attribute to the Depot Autopilot component:
:<config repeat>:
Can be one of
"false" - process the given test list only once,
"until_forever" - endlessly repeat processing the given test list,
"until_failed" - repeat processing the given test list until it fails.
Adds an environment variable to the Depot Autopilot Run script:
:TEST_REPEAT:
Same as the <config repeat> attribute of the Depot Autopilot.
This is useful when having to debug very sporadic errors during one test
or a series of tests.
This patch constraints the window size of the generated layout to the
minimum of the client's real window size and the wanted window size
(both may differ when resizing or maximizing windows).
This patch improves the handing of new appearing windows for which only
a wildcard assignment - but no exact assignment - rule exists. In the
prior version, an interactively raised window would stay in front of
such a window, which is unintuitive. The new version applies the
to-front mechanism to unknown new windows. For known new windows (with
an exact assignment rule) their original stacking position is preserved.
This patch solves an off-by-one problem in the window-size calculation,
which resulted in sporadic artificial resize requests. In Sculpt, this
glitch caused flickering artifacts in VirtualBox windows caused by
superfluous guest desktop-resize handling.
Furthermore, the patch introduces the dropping of resize requests with
unchanged content.
In a corner case, the toggling of the popup menu entered a state
where the menu could not be opened anymore by the user. Specifically
the following input sequence triggered this problem.
1. The user opens the menu
2. The user clicks on the menu and holds the button
3. While holding the button, the user moves the pointer to the
outside of the popup (e.g., to the '+' button)
4. The user releases the button.
In this situation, the popup is closed but the hover information for the
popup contains still the original clicked-on item. Hence, all subsequent
clicks on the '+' appear as both a click on the '+' (opening the popup)
and a click on the "hovered" popup entry (closing the popup).
The patch explicitely clears the popup's hover information when closing
the popup.
The pthread API is considered a standard feature of libc so better to
simply merge it with the libc. Pthreads are in fact already a part of
the libc in the form of weak symbols. This merger is also a prerequisite
for better integrating pthreads with the libc I/O task.
Fix#3054
Print a line like "succeeded: 35 failed: 11 skipped: 2" below the list of test
results. Adds further attributes to <previous-results> to communicate also the
previous statistics.
This patch improves the detection of new appearing top-most windows.
Such a window should prompt the decorator to bring the corresponding
nitpicker view(s) to the front of the view stack. The original
implementation relied on hints provided by the layouter (the 'topped'
attribute). With the patch, the decorator tracks the top-most window by
itself, which improves the robustness.
As a second improvement, the patch defers the destruction of windows to
the point when all other window operations are completed. This hides
intermediate states when replacing one window by another in one step,
which is typical for console-like scenarios. Hence, this patch should
eliminate flickering artifacts when switching from one virtual console
to another.
Issue #3031
This commit replaces the former floating_window_layouter with a new
window_layouter component that supports the subdivision of screen space
into columns and rows, the concept of layers, and the principle ability
to store window layout information across reboots. The latter is
accomplished by reflecting the component's internal state as a 'rules'
report to the outside.
Fixes#3031
The new 'conditional' method simplifies the typical use case for
'Constructible' objects where the constructed/destructed state depends
on a configuration parameter. The method alleviates the need to
re-implement the logic again and again.
The patch also removes the 'Reconstructible' constructor arguments
because they are unused.
Fixes#3006
This patch introduces the distinction of the manually managed
config/deploy from the managed config/managed/deploy. The latter
incorporates interactive changes of the system by the user. There are
two user interactions supported.
First, by clicking on the '+' button at the top-left of the runtime
view, the user can select a component to launch. All launchers at
config/launcher/ are listed in the popup menu. Each launcher can be
lauched only once. While running, is not available in the popup
menu.
Second, when selecting a node that corresponds to a start node in
config/deploy or that was interactively launched, the detailed view
shows a 'remove' button, which can be used to exclude the component
from the deployment.
The result of the interactive manipulation is always available at
config/managed/deploy. Hence, the current situation can be made
persistent by using it as config/deploy.
Fixes#2986
This patch unifies the handling of on-demand resource upgrades among
ram_fs and depot_rom, and applies the new pattern to the runtime view.
This way, runtime view becomes able to accommodate more complex
scenarios.
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.
Fixes#2938Fixes#2912
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
When first selecting an access point to connect to, and then - while the
passphrase entry field is displayed - switching to wired networking, the
keyboard focus was still referring to the passphrase entry field instead
of yieling the focus to the inspect window. This commit fixes the
problem by adding the wifi NIC target as additional condition.
Introduce the uplink tag:
! <config>
! <uplink label="wifi" domain="uplink">
! <uplink label="wired" domain="wired_bridge">
! <uplink domain="wired_bridge">
! <config/>
For each uplink tag, the NIC router requests a NIC session with the
corresponding label or an empty label if there is no label attribute.
These NIC sessions get attached to the domain that is set in their
uplink tag as soon as the domain appears. This means their lifetime is
not bound to the domain. Uplink NIC sessions can be safely moved from
one domain to another without being closed by reconfiguring the
corresponding domain attribute.
Attention: This may render previously valid NIC router configurations
useless. A domain named "uplink" doesn't automatically request a NIC
session anymore. To fix these configurations, just add
! <uplink domain="uplink"/>
or
! <uplink label="[LABEL]" domain="uplink"/>
as direct subtag of the <config> tag.
Issue #2840
With this patch, the sculpt manager takes over the role the window
layouter of the leitzentrale, which eliminates the need to manually
position and size the inspect window.
This patch suppresses the start of components that cannot run because
obvious runtime dependencies (used servers) are missing in the runtime.
In this situation, the sculpt manager gives diagnostic feedback to the
user in the runtime dialog.
Sculpt's discovery of the default storage target can be intercepted by
user input (i.e., pointer movements) at boot time. The patch makes this
intervention mechanism robust for the case where nitpicker's first hover
report arrives after all storage devices were already scanned.
By tracking the states for an interactive selected NIC target (managed)
and a manual-defined NIC target (config/nic_router) separately, the
sculpt manager becames able to present the user with the ability to
interactively disable and re-enable a manually-managed network
configuration.
The sculpt manager wrongly paid for the nitpicker session of the fader
out of its own pocket. This patch reduces the quota transfer to the
amount provided the fader.
When updating the GPT to match the underlying block device, the
protective MBR will normally also be updated. In case a hybrid MBR is
used, as is done if 'image/disk' is specified, setting the
'preserve_hybrid' flag will prevent the component from overriding the
MBR.
This commit updates Early-Adopters (EA) version of Sculpt to the version
for The Curious (TC). Most importantly, it contains the new interactive
sculpt-manager component that automates many system management and
configuration tasks.
This patch enhances the 'Child' interface with the ability to retry the
deployment after an initial attempt failed. This way, packages can be
installed on demand based on the error feedback of deployment attempts.
The state report reflects the progress of downloading, verifying, and
extracting archives. For the download step, it includes the progress
as reported by fetchurl.
This patch changes the button widget to apply the vertical offset to its
child widgets at draw time, not at the layout phase. This way, the
visual feedback on button press/release changes is more direct because
it sidesteps the geometry animation.
This patch enhances the box layout such that child widgets are
equally stretched to the available size whenever the box layout's
size is larger than its min size. Furthermore, it corrects the
mixed-up use of the terms east and west in the float widget.
This component creates a GPT on a Block device. It supports the common
actions, as in adding, deleting and modifying entries in the GPT, while
considering alignment constraints. If needed it will round the length of
a partition down to meet those constraints. The component will not
perform layout checking, i.e., it does not care about overlapping
partitions. Only when apping a partition it will make sure that the
partition will fit.
Please read _repos/gems/src/app/gpt_write/README_ for more detailed
information on how to use the component and feel free to check out
_repos/gems/run/gpt_write.run_.
Fixes#2814.
The box-layout widget used to trigger the geometry animation of its
children immediately when updating the widget from the XML model (by
calling 'child->Widget::geometry'). This caused layout inconsistencies
in situations where the box layout is defined not by the constraints of
the child widgets but from the outside (the parent calls Widget::size).
Since the final layout is not known before the parent defines the actual
size, this patch moves the trigger point for the geometry animation to
'Widget::size'.
The new 'version' attribute can be used to explicitly distinguish
widgets that have the same name. E.g., if one widget is removed and
another with the same name is created somewhere else at the same time,
the menu view would normally interpret this change as a movement.
By attaching a distinct 'version' the new instance, menu view won't
attempt perform a smooth transition between the old and new widgets.
This commit changes the 'Input::Event' type to be more safe and to
deliver symbolic character information along with press events.

This patch improves the `Text_painter` utility that is commonly used by
native Genode components to render text:
- Support for subpixel positioning
- Generic interface for accessing font data
- Basic UTF-8 support
Since the change decouples the font format from the 'Text_painter' and
changes the API to use the sub-pixel accurate 'Text_painter::Position'
type, all users of the utility require an adaptation.
Fixes#2716
We need to update the blueprint pkg path as well in case the start node
is changed. Otherwise the query tool will keep using the initially
configured pkg path.
This patch improves the error handling for the case where the depot
lacks the content of the to-be-deployed pkg. Instead of infinitely
reattempting to obtain blueprints for such content, the deploy tool
prints a single message.
If only a single AHCI device is present, the block service provided by
the drivers subsystem allows the client to refer to this block device
via the label 'default'.
Issue #2676
This patch changes the 'depot_deploy' tool to spawn any number of
runtimes. In contrast to the original version, which merely consumed a
blueprint generated by a pre-configured 'depot_query' instance, the new
version actively generates queries as needed. So there is a feedback
loop between 'depot_deploy' and 'depot_query'. The instantiation of
subsystems is controlled by the '<start>' nodes of the 'depot_deploy'
configuration. For each start node, the tool tries to determine the
ingredients (provided by the depot) by asking the 'depot_query' tool.
Once the information is complete, a corresponding start node of the
dynamic init instance is generated.
This patch introduces the subnodes <provides>, <requires>, and
<content> to the <runtime> node. All <rom> sessions that are
expected from the depot appear within the <content> node, which
sets them nicely apart from <rom> sessions that may be required
as runtime arguments.
Note that the <requires> and <provides> nodes do not appear in the
patch because the existing depot_deploy tool does not interpret this
information (the pkg/test-fs_report runtime does not provide any
service, and the timer session is provided as a common route).
This patch adds the config attribute 'query'. If set to the value "rom",
the query information is obtained from a ROM session labeled "query".
Otherwise, the query information is expected to be part of the config.
This enables us to use the component in two different scenarios. In
one scenario, 'depot_query' is embedded in a managed dynamic init.
Here, taking the query from the config is easy. In the other scenario,
'depot_query' is running as a daemon with a once-configured VFS but
varying queries. The queries originate from a component that does not
control the 'depot_query' config.
The 'Buffered_xml' utility is used by three components and a fourth is
on the way. To avoid another duplication of the code, this patch makes
it publicly available at 'os/buffered_xml.h'.
By specifying the 'config' of a '<runtime>' as an attribute, we can
distinguish the case where the config is obtained from a ROM session
from the case where the config is specified inline as a '<config>' node.
The '<dependencies>' attribute 'path' refers to a depot archive.
Depending on the attributes 'source="no"' and 'binary="no" (defaults
shown), the depot_query component determines the source/binary
dependencies of the given archive. The result has the form of a report
with a sequence of <missing> and <present> nodes, each equipped with the
'path' of the dependency.
Since the <query> node results in the generation of a "blueprint"
report, it should better be named <blueprint>. This also clears the way
for adding further query types such as <dependencies>, following the
same pattern of generating a report of the corresponding query name.
This patch removes the former use of ram_fs, fs_rom, and fs_report from
the subsystem and uses a report_rom instead. The fs-based reporting was
introduced to accommodate automatically instantiated usb_block drivers,
which turned out to be impractical for the sculpt scenario.
This is a follow-up commit to "Increase default warning level", which
overrides Genode's new default warning level for targets contained in
higher-level repositories. By explicitly whitelisting all those targets,
we can selectively adjust them to the new strictness over time - by
looking out for 'CC_CXX_WARN_STRICT' in the target description files.
Issue #465
The patch adjust the code of the base, base-<kernel>, and os repository.
To adapt existing components to fix violations of the best practices
suggested by "Effective C++" as reported by the -Weffc++ compiler
argument. The changes follow the patterns outlined below:
* A class with virtual functions can no longer publicly inherit base
classed without a vtable. The inherited object may either be moved
to a member variable, or inherited privately. The latter would be
used for classes that inherit 'List::Element' or 'Avl_node'. In order
to enable the 'List' and 'Avl_tree' to access the meta data, the
'List' must become a friend.
* Instead of adding a virtual destructor to abstract base classes,
we inherit the new 'Interface' class, which contains a virtual
destructor. This way, single-line abstract base classes can stay
as compact as they are now. The 'Interface' utility resides in
base/include/util/interface.h.
* With the new warnings enabled, all member variables must be explicitly
initialized. Basic types may be initialized with '='. All other types
are initialized with braces '{ ... }' or as class initializers. If
basic types and non-basic types appear in a row, it is nice to only
use the brace syntax (also for basic types) and align the braces.
* If a class contains pointers as members, it must now also provide a
copy constructor and assignment operator. In the most cases, one
would make them private, effectively disallowing the objects to be
copied. Unfortunately, this warning cannot be fixed be inheriting
our existing 'Noncopyable' class (the compiler fails to detect that
the inheriting class cannot be copied and still gives the error).
For now, we have to manually add declarations for both the copy
constructor and assignment operator as private class members. Those
declarations should be prepended with a comment like this:
/*
* Noncopyable
*/
Thread(Thread const &);
Thread &operator = (Thread const &);
In the future, we should revisit these places and try to replace
the pointers with references. In the presence of at least one
reference member, the compiler would no longer implicitly generate
a copy constructor. So we could remove the manual declaration.
Issue #465
This patch changes the depot layout such that each archive is
represented as a directory that contains the versions of the archive as
subdirectories.
Issue #2610
This is a follup-up commit for "driver_manager: add fb_boot_drv
support". It refines the heuristics for selecting the most suitable
framebuffer driver be prevent boot_fb_drv from being preferred over
the VESA driver when running in Qemu.
Without this patch, usb_drv would issue a resource request when
assigning a USB device to a VM in the sculpt scenario.
Furthermore, the patch adjusts the intel_fb quota to enable it on
devices where the driver allocates the framebuffer in many 4K pieces.
This is a drivers subsystem that starts the most fundamental
(framebuffer, input, block) device drivers dynamically, depending on the
runtime-detected devices. The discovered block devices are reported
as a "block_devices" report.
When idle, menu_view de-schedules timer events to save processing time.
Once reactivated by a dialog update, it computes the passed time and
applies the result to the animator. However, the animation was most likely
started by the update not during the sleep. So the passed time must not
be applied to the animation in this case. Otherwise, many animation steps
are computed at once within a single visible frame.
Furthermore, the patch adjusts the REDRAW_PERIOD to 2, which is a better
value for geometric movements as opposed to mere color-blending effects
where the frame rate does not matter so much.
It also refines the nitpicker-buffer relocation in a way that extends
the buffer but does not shrink it. This lowers the interaction with
nitpicker in situations where the dialog size changes a lot.
By applying the text output to the alpha buffer in addition to the pixel
buffer, labels can now appear without the need for an underlying frame
or button.
The new widget allows one to align a child widget within a larger parent
widget by specifying the boolean attributes 'north', 'south', 'east',
and 'west'. If none is specified, the child is centered. If opposite
attributes are specified, the child is stretched.
The launcher.run scenario was last updated mid-may of the recently
developed cap-quota accounting (before all cap types were covered).
Hence, the quotas used in the scenario are too low. This patch adjusts
the values such that the scenario can be started on NOVA on Qemu. It
also fixes a warning about a deprecated way of configuring the
report_rom component.
Thanks to Jörg-Christian Böhme for reporting!
This patch reduces the number of exception types by facilitating
globally defined exceptions for common usage patterns shared by most
services. In particular, RPC functions that demand a session-resource
upgrade not longer reflect this condition via a session-specific
exception but via the 'Out_of_ram' or 'Out_of_caps' types.
Furthermore, the 'Parent::Service_denied', 'Parent::Unavailable',
'Root::Invalid_args', 'Root::Unavailable', 'Service::Invalid_args',
'Service::Unavailable', and 'Local_service::Factory::Denied' types have
been replaced by the single 'Service_denied' exception type defined in
'session/session.h'.
This consolidation eases the error handling (there are fewer exceptions
to handle), alleviates the need to convert exceptions along the
session-creation call chain, and avoids possible aliasing problems
(catching the wrong type with the same name but living in a different
scope).
This patch mirrors the accounting and trading scheme that Genode employs
for physical memory to the accounting of capability allocations.
Capability quotas must now be explicitly assigned to subsystems by
specifying a 'caps=<amount>' attribute to init's start nodes.
Analogously to RAM quotas, cap quotas can be traded between clients and
servers as part of the session protocol. The capability budget of each
component is maintained by the component's corresponding PD session at
core.
At the current stage, the accounting is applied to RPC capabilities,
signal-context capabilities, and dataspace capabilities. Capabilities
that are dynamically allocated via core's CPU and TRACE service are not
yet covered. Also, the capabilities allocated by resource multiplexers
outside of core (like nitpicker) must be accounted by the respective
servers, which is not covered yet.
If a component runs out of capabilities, core's PD service prints a
warning to the log. To observe the consumption of capabilities per
component in detail, the PD service is equipped with a diagnostic
mode, which can be enabled via the 'diag' attribute in the target
node of init's routing rules. E.g., the following route enables the
diagnostic mode for the PD session of the "timer" component:
<default-route>
<service name="PD" unscoped_label="timer">
<parent diag="yes"/>
</service>
...
</default-route>
For subsystems based on a sub-init instance, init can be configured
to report the capability-quota information of its subsystems by
adding the attribute 'child_caps="yes"' to init's '<report>'
config node. Init's own capability quota can be reported by adding
the attribute 'init_caps="yes"'.
Fixes#2398
This patch makes use of the new 'Quota_transfer::Account' by the service
types in base/service.h and uses 'Quota_transfer' objects in
base/child.cc and init/server.cc.
Furthermore, it decouples the notion of an 'Async_service' from
'Child_service'. Init's 'Routed_service' is no longer a 'Child_service'
but is based on the new 'Async_service' instead.
With this patch in place, quota transfers do no longer implicitly use
'Ram_session_client' objects. So transfers can in principle originate
from component-local 'Ram_session_component' objects, e.g., as used by
noux. Therefore, this patch removes a strumbling block for turning noux
into a single threaded component in the future.

This patch replaces the former use of size_t with the use of the
'Ram_quota' type to improve type safety (in particular to avoid
accidentally mixing up RAM quotas with cap quotas).

Issue #1987
Libc::Env is the Genode::Env interface extended to cover access
to the XML content of the 'config' ROM and a VFS instance. This
deduplicates the burden of components to attain and manage
these resources.
Fix#2217
Ref #1987
This patch removes the component_entry_point library, which used to
proved a hook for the libc to intercept the call of the
'Component::construct' function. The mechansim has several shortcomings
(see the discussion in the associated issue) and was complex. So we
eventually discarded the approach in favor of the explicit handling of
the startup.
A regular Genode component provides a 'Component::construct' function,
which is determined by the dynamic linker via a symbol lookup.
For the time being, the dynamic linker falls back to looking up a 'main'
function if no 'Component::construct' function could be found.
The libc provides an implementation of 'Component::construct', which
sets up the libc's task handling and finally call the function
'Libc::Component::construct' from the context of the appllication task.
This function is expected to be provided by the libc-using application.
Consequently, Genode components that use the libc have to implement the
'Libc::Component::construct' function.
The new 'posix' library provides an implementation of
'Libc::Component::construct' that calls a main function. Hence, POSIX
programs that merely use the POSIX API merely have to add 'posix' to the
'LIBS' declaration in their 'target.mk' file. Their execution starts at
'main'.
Issue #2199
This patch unconditionally applies the labeling of sessions and thereby
removes the most common use case of 'Child_policy::filter_session_args'.
Furthermore, the patch removes an ambiguity of the session labels of
sessions created by the parent of behalf of its child, e.g., the PD
session created as part of 'Child' now has the label "<child-name>"
whereas an unlabeled PD-session request originating from the child
has the label "<child-name> -> ". This way, the routing-policy of
'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' can differentiate both cases.
As a consequence, the stricter labeling must now be considered wherever
a precise label was specified as a key for a session route or a server-
side policy selection. The simplest way to adapt those cases is to use a
'label_prefix' instead of the 'label' attribute. Alternatively, the
'label' attribute may used by appending " -> " (note the whitespace).
Fixes#2171
This patch adjusts the various users of the 'Child' API to the changes
on the account of the new non-blocking parent interface. It also removes
the use of the no-longer-available 'Connection::KEEP_OPEN' feature.
With the adjustment, we took the opportunity to redesign several
components to fit the non-blocking execution model much better, in
particular the demo applications.

Ref #1987
Besides adapting the components to the use of base/log.h, the patch
cleans up a few base headers, i.e., it removes unused includes from
root/component.h, specifically base/heap.h and
ram_session/ram_session.h. Hence, components that relied on the implicit
inclusion of those headers have to manually include those headers now.
While adjusting the log messages, I repeatedly stumbled over the problem
that printing char * arguments is ambiguous. It is unclear whether to
print the argument as pointer or null-terminated string. To overcome
this problem, the patch introduces a new type 'Cstring' that allows the
caller to express that the argument should be handled as null-terminated
string. As a nice side effect, with this type in place, the optional len
argument of the 'String' class could be removed. Instead of supplying a
pair of (char const *, size_t), the constructor accepts a 'Cstring'.
This, in turn, clears the way let the 'String' constructor use the new
output mechanism to assemble a string from multiple arguments (and
thereby getting rid of snprintf within Genode in the near future).
To enforce the explicit resolution of the char * ambiguity, the 'char *'
overload of the 'print' function is marked as deleted.
Issue #1987
Session_label constructor now takes a bare string rather than a
serialized argument buffer.
Replace all instances of previous constructor with 'label_from_args'
function.
Issue #1787
Replace 'attribute(...).has_value("yes")`
with 'attribute_value(..., false)'.
This allows for boolean configuration to be set with values such as
"true", "false", "yes", "no", or "1", "0".
Fixes#2002
This patch cleans up the thread API and comes with the following
noteworthy changes:
- Introduced Cpu_session::Weight type that replaces a formerly used
plain integer value to prevent the accidental mix-up of
arguments.
- The enum definition of Cpu_session::DEFAULT_WEIGHT moved to
Cpu_session::Weight::DEFAULT_WEIGHT
- New Thread constructor that takes a 'Env &' as first argument.
The original constructors are now marked as deprecated. For the
common use case where the default 'Weight' and 'Affinity' are
used, a shortcut is provided. In the long term, those two
constructors should be the only ones to remain.
- The former 'Thread<>' class template has been renamed to
'Thread_deprecated'.
- The former 'Thread_base' class is now called 'Thread'.
- The new 'name()' accessor returns the thread's name as 'Name'
object as centrally defined via 'Cpu_session::Name'. It is meant to
replace the old-fashioned 'name' method that takes a buffer and size
as arguments.
- Adaptation of the thread test to the new API
Issue #1954
This patch makes the former 'Process' class private to the 'Child'
class and changes the constructor of the 'Child' in a way that
principally enables the implementation of single-threaded runtime
environments that virtualize the CPU, PD, and RAM services. The
new interfaces has become free from side effects. I.e., instead
of implicitly using Genode::env()->rm_session(), it takes the reference
to the local region map as argument. Also, the handling of the dynamic
linker via global variables is gone. Now, the linker binary must be
provided as constructor argument.
Fixes#1949
This patch removes a superfluous resize request at the creation time of
a new window, which resulted from _requested_size being initialized with
zero whereas the _geometry was initialized with the actual window
geometry. In some cases, this inconsistency led to the report of a new
resize request for the size 0x0, which is obviously wrong. I.e., it
leads clients to believe that the user has closed the window.
This patch resets the part of the window state that is responsible the
dragging of window controls once the drag operation is finalized.
Without it, the window was wrongly positioned when leaving the maximized
state after a previous resize operation.
This patch adds support for manipulating the window layout with keyboard
actions. It supports the toggling of fullscreen (aka maximize), the
raising of the currently focused window, and the focusing the next/previous
window.
This patch adds the mechanics for detecting key sequences to the window
layouter. Sequences for layouter actions can be expressed in the
layouter configuration. They cannot trigger any real action yet.
This patch weakens the themed decorator's demands with respect to the
supplied theme data. It no longer strictly requires the specification of
the '<closer>', '<title>', and '<maximizer>' nodes and the accompanied
png/tff data. Furthermore, the default.png can be left out if both decor
and aura have a size of zero.
This patch enhances the layouter to apply a label-dependent policy
for the placement of new windows. The policy may contain the
attributes 'xpos', 'ypos', and 'maximized'. If the latter is set
to "yes", the matching window will appear in maximized state.
* Also change the way how mute is handled. Only send the
changed signal if the user has clicked on the mute checkbox
* Always check channels_rom is valid
* Add <default> handling
* Increase verbosity
Fixes#1795.
This patch changes the decorator to always apply stacking-order changes
immediately instead of deferring the re-stacking of the nitpicker views
to the next call of 'update_nitpicker_views'. The deferred application
did not always work when more then one windows changed their stacking
position at once because the cached '_neighbor' values interfered with
each other.
The eager re-stacking should not have negative effects on the user
experience because, in contrast to re-positioning, re-stacking a rare
operation.
This change makes it possible to reuse the generic window decorator
classes in include/decorator/ for decorators of a different structure.
E.g., instead of painting decorations on a single nitpicker session,
each window may paint its decorations into additional window-specific
nitpicker sessions.
This patch, complements the existing vbox layout with a hbox layout and
improves the response to dynamic dialog updates. The new version support
disappearing widgets and the reordering of widgets. Furthermore, this
patch ensures that the 'Widget::_layout' functions are executed after
updating a new version of the dialog.
This patch improves the decorator in two ways. First, it enables the
assignment of window colors depending on the window labels. This
configuration can be changed dynamically. Second, it adds the handling
of window controls for closing, maximizing, minimizing windows.
Issue #1689Fixes#1688
Until now, the CLI monitor and the laucher allowed the user to explitly
kill subsystems but both used to ignore gracefully exiting subsystems.
It was the user's job to remove the remains of those subsystems. The
patch takes the burden of manually killing exited subsystems from the
user.
Fixes#1685
This patch changes the window manager, the decorator, and the
floating window layouter to propagate the usage of an alpha channel from
the client application to the decorator. This way, the decorator can
paint the decoration elements behind the affected windows, which would
otherwise be skipped.
This patch adds two new painters located at gems/include/polygon_gfx.
Both painters draw convex polygons with an arbirary number of points.
The shaded-polygon painter interpolates the color and alpha values
whereas the textured-polygon painter applies a texture to the polygon.
The painters are accompanied by simplistic 3D routines located at
gems/include/nano3d/ and a corresponding example (gems/run/nano3d.run).
The menu view generates a simple dialog of widgets and reports the
hovered element. It is meant to be embedded into applications that
require simple GUIs but don't want to deal with the pecularities of
a full-blown widget set.
The headers 'texture_rgb565.h' and 'texture_rgb888' contain
template specializations needed for using the 'Texture::rgba' function
for the respective pixel formats. The specializations were formerly
contained in application-local code.
