Use multiple load store instructions for 32 byte chunks in ARM-specific
blit-function, analog to x86 variant. Make the blit-function of x86 a
generic one, and provide needed utility functions for ARM and generic code.
Please refer issue #147 for discussion.
Separate spin-lock implementation from lock-implementation and put it into a
non-public header, so it can be re-used by the DDE kit's and Fiasco.OC's
capability-allocator spin lock. Fixes issue #123.
The ROM prefetcher service can be used to prefetch complete ROM files,
which is handy when using the iso9660 server (which normally reads file
content block-wise on demand). The server used to perform the
prefetching upon request of the respective ROM session. This patch adds
a facility for prefetching a predefined list of files. It is primarily
intended for eagerly fetching live-CD content in the background after
having passed the first boot stage.
This patch makes use of the recently added support for const RPC
functions by turning 'Framebuffer::Session::mode()' and
'Input::Session::is_pending()' into const functions.
Linux DDE used to implement Linux spin locks based on 'dde_kit_lock'.
This works fine if a spin lock is initialized only once and used
infinitely. But if spin locks are initialized on-the-fly at a high rate,
each initialization causes the allocation of a new 'dde_kit_lock'.
Because in contrast to normal locks, spinlocks cannot be explicitly
destroyed, the spin-lock emulating locks are never freed. To solve the
leakage of locks, there seems to be no other way than to support the
semantics as expected by the Linux drivers. Hence, this patch introduces
a DDE Kit API for spin locks.
The new 'Slave_policy' and 'Slave' classes are built upon the existing
child framework. They support the implementation of scenarios where a
service is started as a child of the client. This is usefull for
employing an existing service implementation as a local utility or
plugin.
The 'mode_sigh' function allows the client to receive notifications
about server-side display-mode changes. To respond to such a signal, the
client can use the new 'release' function, which acknowledges the mode
change at the server and frees the original framebuffer dataspace. Via a
subsequent call of 'dataspace', a framebuffer dataspace corresponding to
the new mode can be obtained. Related to issue #11.
As a preliminary step for working on issue #11, this patch revisits the
'Framebuffer::info' RPC call. Instead of using C-style out paramters,
the new 'mode()' RPC call returns the mode information as an object of
type 'Mode'. Consequently, mode-specific functions such as
'bytes_per_pixel' have been moved to the new 'Framebuffer::Mode' class.
The probing and I/O resource allocation is done only once at the
creation time of the first session. When closing and re-opening the
session, the '_device' object is simply reused. This patch fixes#92.
This patch prevents 'fb_sdl' from wrongly using SDL headers located in
the libports repository. We have to make sure to use the headers
installed on the host system.
