Instead of using the old 'ioctl' Vfs::File_io_services API implement
the I/O control functionality in a buch of files. This is similar to
the terminal-VFS plugin.
Fixes#3889.
The combination of Net::Mac_address and
Genode::ascii_to(Net::Mac_address) required shaky quirks in several
places because GCC is not able to resolve the ascii_to overload if
base/xml_node.h was included to early. The current solution moves the
several ascii_to overloads "closer" to the Net types by putting them
into the Net namespace, where GCC reliably picks them up.
Hence, co-locating the ascii_to() utility with the overload type in the
same scope/namespace is good practice.
This patch removes the now obsolete <nic/xml_node.h> header file.
* Fixes faulty algorithm in fractional pll rate calculation
* Enables clocks that are set as reference clock to prevent system freeze
* Enables/disables root clocks of gates implicitely
Fix#3876
This is needed to enable VFS plugins to notify VFS clients about file
changes that depend on the plugin configuration, E.g., whenever the vfs_ttf
plugin responds to a font-size change, it generates a watch notification
for the glyphs file. Since the change is independent from I/O, we need
to manually call 'handle_io_progress'.
With the change of nitpicker to the event session interface, the
formerly periodic hovering updates moved to the - now sporadic - input
processing. This has the unfortunate side effect that hovering changes
caused by non-user-input, in particular view-stack changes issued by the
GUI clients that change the view under the current pointer position,
would no longer be reported immediately but only after receiving the
next incoming input event.
This patch reworks the hover handling such that potential hovering
changes due to view-stack operations are evaluated immediately by
those operations, covering the update of the hover report and the
generation of artificial enter/motion events.
Issue #3812
This patch solves a corner case where one long-active job (e.g.,
read-ready request) stays at the beginning of the '_active_jobs' queue
without an ack. In this case, the '_try_acknowledge_jobs' method would
wrongly stop processing the subsequent acknowledgements. In practice,
this can lead to a delayed sending of acknowledgements until new I/O or
client requests occur. In particular, Vim in Sculpt's inspect window
sometimes did not immediately respond to key presses during tab
completion. Here, the read-ready request of the terminal prevented the
acknowledgement for read of directory entry from being delivered until
the next key was pressed.
Fixes#3873
The quota for the argument buffer is already accounted by using the
Attached_ram_dataspace _argument_buffer, which uses the Constraint_ram_allocator
_ram, which uses the Ram_quota_guard from the Session_object. Running on
Sculpt with more than 1000 Subject_info objects/trace IDs the memory
waste become noticeable.
By now, the enumeration of peripheral interrupts on Raspberry Pi 1 was
different in between base-hw kernel and Fiasco.OC. Therefore, hacks were
needed in every driver to request the correct interrupt number dependent
on the kernel. Before reproducing the same in the platform driver for rpi,
we can more easily use the same enumeration with base-hw.
Ref #3864
This is a temporary workaround to not harm drivers, which aren't
converted yet to request all device resources including power and
clocks from this new platform driver.
Ref #3863
Introduce the managing_system privilege for components like the
platform_driver to allow it to call system management functionality
that is reserved by kernel or special firmware, e.g., ARM Trusted Firmware.
The former RAM resource configuration attribute `constrain_phys`,
which enabled to constrain the region of physical RAM to be used,
gets replaced by the new, broader managing_system configuration
attribute of a `start` node. It gets enforced by the sandbox library.
Ref #3816
When the 'raw' attribute is set to 'yes' the terminal VFS plugin will
ignore control characters. This in necessary for terminal connections
that transport data that contain such characters as part of message.
Fixes#3860.
The driver wrongly rejected a block request for the very last block of
the device, which prevented part_block from successfully parsing the
partition table (when attempting to access the GPT backup).
Fixes#3861
This is a follow-up commit to "nitpicker: make framebuffer and input
optional". It restores the dynamic mode-change support when using
'request_framebuffer="yes"' as needed in scenarios where multiple
nitpicker instances are used in a cascaded way. E.g., Sculpt's
Leitzentrale. The previous version missed to reconstruct the
'_fb_screen' on mode changes.
Issue #3812
This patch prevents nitpicker from requesting a framebuffer and input
session by default because the regular use of nitpicker relies on the
capture-session and event-session interfaces by now.
For supporting the nested use of nitpicker via the gui_fb component, it
is still possible to enable the traditional behavior by explicitely
setting the 'request_input' and 'request_framebuffer' config attributes
to "yes".
Issue #3812
This commit applies the transition from the "Input" session to the "Event"
session to the event-filtering mechansim. The functionality of the
input_filter is now provided by the event_filter. The event filter
requests only one "Event" session as destination for the filter result,
which is usually routed to the nitpicker GUI server. It provides an
"Event" service to which any number of event sources can connect.
The configuration of the filter chain remains almost the same. Only the
declaration of the <input> nodes is no longer needed. Instead, the
configuration must specify <policy> nodes, which define the mapping of
"Event" clients (event sources) to the inputs used in the filter chain.
The patch adjusts all uses of the nitpicker GUI server accordingly such
that the event filter reports events to nitpicker's event service
instead of having nitpicker request an "Input" session. This dissolves
the dependency of nitpicker from input drivers.
Issue #3827
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.
