This patch brings the input filter into a shape that is easier to
re-mold into an event filter, reversing the client/server roles of
the component.
* The 'Sink &destination' is no longer passed as constructor argument
to the individual filters but passed as argument to the 'generate'
method. This way, the final destination does not need to exist at
the construction time of the filter chain but can be created on
the fly (clearing the way for using 'Event::Client::with_batch').
* A new 'Source::Filter' interface with the 'apply' method aids the
cascading of filters during 'generate'. The modules now implement
the 'Source::Filter::filter_event' interface instead of the
'Source::Sink::submit_event' interface.
* Since the 'Sink &destination' is no longer a member of the filter
modules, character-repeat events can no longer be emitted in an
ad-hoc way. Instead, the character-repeat mechanism now invokes
a new 'Trigger::trigger_generate' hook that prompts the execution
of the regular 'generate' mechanism by the main program.
This patch is supposed to leave the semantics of the input filter
unchanged (validated by the input_filter.run script).
Issue #3827
This is an intermediate helper component for the transition of input
servers into event clients. It works analogously to the
input_event_bridge but it connects servers instead of clients.
In particular, it can act as glue between a traditional input driver
that provides an input service and the event filter that provides an
event service. Thanks to this component, each driver can be migrated to
the event-client interface individually.
Issue #3827
- base/cancelable_lock.h becomes base/lock.h
- all members become private within base/lock.h
- solely Mutex and Blockade are friends to use base/lock.h
Fixes#3819
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
