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
This patch replaces meta-data allocation during the resize handling by a
new 'Resizeable_texture' type that has all meta data preallocated.
It also replaces the use of pointer return values with the
'Resizeable_texture::with_texture' method.
Issue #3812
Nitpicker used to unconditionally request a framebuffer and input
session. With the transition to the new capture/event session
interfaces, this built-in policy does no longer suffice.
This patch introduces the attributes 'request_framebuffer="yes"' and
'request_input="yes"' (with the default values shown) to nitpicker's
<config> node. If setting those attributes to "no", nitpicker won't
request a "Framebuffer" and "Input" session respectively.
