To differentiate between the legacy and the current VFS OSS plugin both
plugins will feature a 'plugin_version' field in its info file. This
is used for enabling features provide by the current version that are
not supported in the legacy one.
Issue #5167.
The audio launcher configures the 'bsd_audio_drv' component for normal
use where the micrphone selection should work on most Thinkpads.
The mixer launcher configures the 'record_play_mixer' component for
use with the 'audio' launcher and provides also examplary rules for
vbox6 launchers.
The IHD500 is almost a gen9 (skylake) GPU with subtle differences. Linux
maintains a separate feature set `GEN9_LP_FEATURES` for this GPU.
However, foisting the GPU as skylake on the GPU drivers seems to work
quite fine.

Since "sculpt: adjust nitpicker priority", the nitpicker GUI server no
longer runs at the highest priority, yet the runtime_view of the
leitzentrale UI continued to operate at the highest priority.
On slower machines, this results in a visible interference of the CPU-
heavy rendering of the runtime_view with the (now) lower-prioritized
nitpicker, in particular laggy pointer movements.
This commit subordinates the leitzentrale components below the priority
of nitpicker to prevent this interference.
It also simplifies the priority scheme at the static system init: The
timer has the highest priority whereas all other components use the
priority band -1.
Issue #5174
The hard resource limit introduced by "sculpt: upper limit for automatic
quota upgrading" is too conservative for typical use cases of the RAM
fs. This commit makes the limit adjustable per managed component and
relaxes the limit for the RAM fs and depot_rom from 256 MiB to 2 GiB.
Issue #5174
Allow tweaking the driver selection using the manager config:
- The new attribute 'ps2="no"' suppresses the selection of the PS/2 driver.
- The new attribute 'intel_gpu="no"'suppresses the selection of the
Intel GPU and fb drivers, letting Sculpt fall back to VESA or boot-fb.
Note that the dynamic change of those attributes is handled in principle
but not advisable. E.g., disabling the intel driver after startup leaves
the hardware in a state that the VESA driver cannot cope with. However,
when statically defining the attributes in sculpt/manager/default, it is
now possible to build an image that uses VESA on an intel machine.
Issue #5174
The nightly Qemu tests that don't use KVM require more time for completing the
unlock-and-access phase of the test. If the lock phase starts to early, the
file access is interrupted and the output isn't as expected.
Furthermore, on FOC, the cap quota was insufficient.
Ref #5148
The existing allocation scheme of window IDs has the unwelcome effect
that a re-appearing window would not always result in a visible change
of the window list. In such cases, the layouter and decorator would not
be prompted to do their job. This effect could be observered with the
multi-dialog version of menu view in Sculpt OS when manually enforcing
the restart of the runtime_view. Sometimes the panel would not re-appear
after the restart.
This patch changes the allocation of window ID such that new windows get
fresh IDs instead of reusing an ID of a recently disappeared window.
Issue #5170
This substantially slims down the test in order to reduce the number nightly
tests that fail due to timeouts. Now, the extended test steps (maximum trees
and benchmarks) are only run on Linux. The synchronous access, snapshot
management, rekeying, and resizing tests were removed.
Ref #5148
This patch replaces the former use of one menu-view component per dialog
by a single menu view presenting all dialogs. This change reduces the
runtime config by about 20%, improves the boot time, and lowers RAM and
CPU usage at runtime.
Issue #5170
The font pointers cached in labels can become dangling when the style
database is updated, as happens when changing the font size dynamically.
This patch orderly updates the cached pointers before removing
out-of-date font entries from the style database.
Related to issue #5170
This patch equips the menu-view component with the ability to present
more than one dialog at a time. The dialogs must be declared in the
<config> node as follows.
<config>
...
<dialog name="settings"/>
</config
For each dialog, menu view requests a dedicated ROM session labeled after
the dialog name. The corresponding GUI session is also labeled as such.
Note that only one hover report is generated responding to all dialogs.
The hover report can be correlated with the hovered dialog by inspecting
the the 'name' attribute of the hover report's <dialog> sub node.
The former global config attributes 'xpos', 'ypos', 'width', 'height',
'opaque', and 'background' have become attributes of the <dialog> node.
Fixes#5170
GPU drivers always reside in the runtime subsystem now.
This patch eliminates the risk of requesting a GPU session at the
drivers subsystem, which never gets established.
Issue #5150
The new VFS OSS plugin utilizes the Record and Play session. For the
time being it is a drop-in replacement for the old plugin and shares
its limitations.
In contrast to the old plugin it is possible to force a client to
use a configured fragment size. Some clients work best with larger
fragments, e.g. VBox, where raising the minimal fragment size is
beneficial.
Please look at the README file for more information.

On some platforms like qemu/x86_64/sel4, accessing the file system is so
slow that it used to hit the timeout of this phase in the run script.
Ref #5148
This patch lays the selection of the used storage target into the hands
of the config/manager file. By default, Sculpt selects the target by its
built-in heuristics, probing for a Sculpt partition. However, by
specifying a <target> node, one can explicitly select a storage target.
E.g., for using the 2nd partition of the SATA disk connected to port 1
of the AHCI controller, one can now specify:
<target driver="ahci" port="1" partition="2"/>
For selecting the ram_fs as target:
<target driver="ram_fs"/>
The latter case is particularly useful for custom Sculpt scenarios
deployed entirely from RAM. For such scenarios, add two lines to
your .sculpt file:
ram_fs: depot
manager: use_ram_fs
The first line configures the ram_fs such that the depot is mounted
as a tar archive. The second line configures the sculpt manager to
select the ram_fs as storage target. You can find this feature
exemplified in default-linux.sculpt scenario.
build/x86_64$ make run/sculpt_test KERNEL=linux BOARD=linux
It is worth noting that the configuration can be changed at runtime.
This allows for switching between different storage targets on the fly.
Issue #5166
The new 'manager' config allows for the passing of configuration data the
sculpt manager without the need to modify the config/leitzentrale subsystem.
Issue #5166
This patch replaces the dynamic use of Attached_rom_dataspace by a
new Rom_handler utility, which implicitly covers the initial import of
content (safely using 'local_submit'), the registration of the signal
handler, passes the Xml_node to the handler function (no need to
manually call 'update'), and provides scoped access to the content via a
'with_xml' method. The latter reinforces a programming style that does
not need to copy Xml_node objects.
Issue #5150
This patch removes the remains of the original block-device discovery as
done by the former driver manager. Block sessions are now always
provided by components hosted in the runtime subsytem. The storage node
of the graph is no more.
Issue #5150
This patch harmonizes the driver management between the sculpt manager
and the phone manager by hosting the individual drivers in a new
'Drivers' class with a narrow interface towards 'Sculpt::Main'. The
patch also introduces a clean separation of the 'Board_info' between
features detected at runtime (on PC hardware), statically
known/managed features (phone hardware), and options that can be
toggled at runtime.
With common patterns for managing drivers in place now, this commit
also moves the former runtime/wifi_drv.cc and runtime/nic_drv.cc
code to driver/wifi.h and driver/nic.h. The _drv suffix of the wifi
and nic driver components have been dropped.
Issue #5150
The move of block, USB, and input drivers from the drivers subsystem to
the runtime alleviates the need for routing those sessions between the
subsystems.
