In less interactive mode, the run script doesn't give up on missing test
archives but instead removes the corresponding tests and marks them "missing".
This mode avoids total failure of a platform in automated test infrastructures
when only a few archives are missing.
Fixes#3120
This patch improves the appearance of the leitzentrale by eliminating
the (hardly visible) decorations from the GUI and graph views, and by
animating the motion of the graph position. The latter is meant to
remove the stuttering effect when the graph's size changes (and
re-centered).
This patch improves the consistency of the hover handling after
finishing a drag operation. Normally, the window manager hides pointer
updates while the user is performing a drag operation with the mouse
from the decorator. However, in the special case where a drag operation
results in a window-layout change, the decorator's hover model may be
affected. Hence, the window manager must supply the current pointer
position when leaving the drag state.
Issue #3097
This patch supplements the dragging state of window controls to the
window layout so that decorators become able to visually reflect this
state, i.e., pressing the title bar while moving a window.
Issue #3097
This commit adds the optional 'motion=<number>' attribute to the
decorator's <policy> nodes. The default value is 0. If a value higher
than 0 is specified, window-geometry changes are applied as an animation
where the <number> denotes the number of animation steps.
Issue #3096
This patch adds the boolean policy attribute "decoration", which
controls whether window decorations are presented or not. It is enabled
by default. By setting the attribute to "no", matching windows appear
without any border, which is desireable for Sculpt's component graph.
Issue #3096
This patch improves the window decorators in the following respects:
* Strict warnings are enabled now.
* The use of the 'List_model' makes the application of window-
layout changes more robust. This is particularly the case for
the restacking of windows.
* Display-mode changes are now supported by both decorators.
Issue #3094
Until now, decorators used to rely only on the TO_FRONT command for
propagating the window stacking to nitpicker. However, as the additional
use of the TO_BACK command allows for a more robust procedure, this
patch enhances the wm to handle both view stacking commands.
Issue #3094
Adds an config attribute to the Depot Autopilot component:
:<config repeat>:
Can be one of
"false" - process the given test list only once,
"until_forever" - endlessly repeat processing the given test list,
"until_failed" - repeat processing the given test list until it fails.
Adds an environment variable to the Depot Autopilot Run script:
:TEST_REPEAT:
Same as the <config repeat> attribute of the Depot Autopilot.
This is useful when having to debug very sporadic errors during one test
or a series of tests.
This patch constraints the window size of the generated layout to the
minimum of the client's real window size and the wanted window size
(both may differ when resizing or maximizing windows).
This patch improves the handing of new appearing windows for which only
a wildcard assignment - but no exact assignment - rule exists. In the
prior version, an interactively raised window would stay in front of
such a window, which is unintuitive. The new version applies the
to-front mechanism to unknown new windows. For known new windows (with
an exact assignment rule) their original stacking position is preserved.
This patch solves an off-by-one problem in the window-size calculation,
which resulted in sporadic artificial resize requests. In Sculpt, this
glitch caused flickering artifacts in VirtualBox windows caused by
superfluous guest desktop-resize handling.
Furthermore, the patch introduces the dropping of resize requests with
unchanged content.
In a corner case, the toggling of the popup menu entered a state
where the menu could not be opened anymore by the user. Specifically
the following input sequence triggered this problem.
1. The user opens the menu
2. The user clicks on the menu and holds the button
3. While holding the button, the user moves the pointer to the
outside of the popup (e.g., to the '+' button)
4. The user releases the button.
In this situation, the popup is closed but the hover information for the
popup contains still the original clicked-on item. Hence, all subsequent
clicks on the '+' appear as both a click on the '+' (opening the popup)
and a click on the "hovered" popup entry (closing the popup).
The patch explicitely clears the popup's hover information when closing
the popup.
The pthread API is considered a standard feature of libc so better to
simply merge it with the libc. Pthreads are in fact already a part of
the libc in the form of weak symbols. This merger is also a prerequisite
for better integrating pthreads with the libc I/O task.
Fix#3054
Print a line like "succeeded: 35 failed: 11 skipped: 2" below the list of test
results. Adds further attributes to <previous-results> to communicate also the
previous statistics.
This patch improves the detection of new appearing top-most windows.
Such a window should prompt the decorator to bring the corresponding
nitpicker view(s) to the front of the view stack. The original
implementation relied on hints provided by the layouter (the 'topped'
attribute). With the patch, the decorator tracks the top-most window by
itself, which improves the robustness.
As a second improvement, the patch defers the destruction of windows to
the point when all other window operations are completed. This hides
intermediate states when replacing one window by another in one step,
which is typical for console-like scenarios. Hence, this patch should
eliminate flickering artifacts when switching from one virtual console
to another.
Issue #3031
This commit replaces the former floating_window_layouter with a new
window_layouter component that supports the subdivision of screen space
into columns and rows, the concept of layers, and the principle ability
to store window layout information across reboots. The latter is
accomplished by reflecting the component's internal state as a 'rules'
report to the outside.
Fixes#3031
This component allows access to Terminal sessions via interactive SSH
sessions. Please read _repos/gems/src/server/ssh_terminal/README_ for
more detailed information.
Fixes#3014.
The new 'conditional' method simplifies the typical use case for
'Constructible' objects where the constructed/destructed state depends
on a configuration parameter. The method alleviates the need to
re-implement the logic again and again.
The patch also removes the 'Reconstructible' constructor arguments
because they are unused.
Fixes#3006
This patch introduces the distinction of the manually managed
config/deploy from the managed config/managed/deploy. The latter
incorporates interactive changes of the system by the user. There are
two user interactions supported.
First, by clicking on the '+' button at the top-left of the runtime
view, the user can select a component to launch. All launchers at
config/launcher/ are listed in the popup menu. Each launcher can be
lauched only once. While running, is not available in the popup
menu.
Second, when selecting a node that corresponds to a start node in
config/deploy or that was interactively launched, the detailed view
shows a 'remove' button, which can be used to exclude the component
from the deployment.
The result of the interactive manipulation is always available at
config/managed/deploy. Hence, the current situation can be made
persistent by using it as config/deploy.
Fixes#2986
This patch unifies the handling of on-demand resource upgrades among
ram_fs and depot_rom, and applies the new pattern to the runtime view.
This way, runtime view becomes able to accommodate more complex
scenarios.
This patch enables the user to click on a component in the runtime view
to reveal more information such as the used/assigned RAM/caps and
secondary dependencies.
This patch adds a graph of the current runtime state to the
leitzentrale. The topology of the graph depends on the first routing
rule of each component. For this reason, the patch re-orders routing
policies to make the most important route the first in the list.
The user can switch between the runtime view and the inspect window
by clicking on the corresponding menu dialogs. E.g., a click on the
storage dialog reveals the inspect window.
The most important route of each launcher is at the top of routes and
will be used to layout the graph topology of the runtime view.
By caching the state reports generated by the runtime init, the sculpt
manager becomes able to quickly check for the presence of components. So
we can apply routing-dependency checks not only prior starting
components but also while components are running.
Fixes#2938Fixes#2912
The COW plugin provided only partial copy-on-write semantics and had
problems detecting recursive requests. Conversely, the import plugin has
much simpler behavior that is easy to test because it mirrors that of
the ram_fs server.
Ref #2745
This new vfs_import plugin allows a VFS instance to be populated during
construction using a sub-VFS configured in an '<import>' configuration
node. This allows the ram_fs File_system server to be replaced by the
VFS server by reimplementing the ram_fs 'content' feature. At the
moment the copying of symlinks is not enabled, and the resources
obtained by the import file-system may not be freed after the import is
finished.
Fix#2906
This patch adds the /config/usb file to Sculpt, which allows then user
to manually define rules for assigning USB devices to clients. The
content is incorporated by the driver manager into the USB driver
configuration. Note that this mechanism does not work for HID devices
because these devices are claimed by the USB driver's built-in HID
support.
Issue #2890
When first selecting an access point to connect to, and then - while the
passphrase entry field is displayed - switching to wired networking, the
keyboard focus was still referring to the passphrase entry field instead
of yieling the focus to the inspect window. This commit fixes the
problem by adding the wifi NIC target as additional condition.
Introduce the uplink tag:
! <config>
! <uplink label="wifi" domain="uplink">
! <uplink label="wired" domain="wired_bridge">
! <uplink domain="wired_bridge">
! <config/>
For each uplink tag, the NIC router requests a NIC session with the
corresponding label or an empty label if there is no label attribute.
These NIC sessions get attached to the domain that is set in their
uplink tag as soon as the domain appears. This means their lifetime is
not bound to the domain. Uplink NIC sessions can be safely moved from
one domain to another without being closed by reconfiguring the
corresponding domain attribute.
Attention: This may render previously valid NIC router configurations
useless. A domain named "uplink" doesn't automatically request a NIC
session anymore. To fix these configurations, just add
! <uplink domain="uplink"/>
or
! <uplink label="[LABEL]" domain="uplink"/>
as direct subtag of the <config> tag.
Issue #2840
With this patch, the sculpt manager takes over the role the window
layouter of the leitzentrale, which eliminates the need to manually
position and size the inspect window.
This patch suppresses the start of components that cannot run because
obvious runtime dependencies (used servers) are missing in the runtime.
In this situation, the sculpt manager gives diagnostic feedback to the
user in the runtime dialog.
Sculpt's discovery of the default storage target can be intercepted by
user input (i.e., pointer movements) at boot time. The patch makes this
intervention mechanism robust for the case where nitpicker's first hover
report arrives after all storage devices were already scanned.
By tracking the states for an interactive selected NIC target (managed)
and a manual-defined NIC target (config/nic_router) separately, the
sculpt manager becames able to present the user with the ability to
interactively disable and re-enable a manually-managed network
configuration.
The sculpt manager wrongly paid for the nitpicker session of the fader
out of its own pocket. This patch reduces the quota transfer to the
amount provided the fader.
When updating the GPT to match the underlying block device, the
protective MBR will normally also be updated. In case a hybrid MBR is
used, as is done if 'image/disk' is specified, setting the
'preserve_hybrid' flag will prevent the component from overriding the
MBR.
This commit updates Early-Adopters (EA) version of Sculpt to the version
for The Curious (TC). Most importantly, it contains the new interactive
sculpt-manager component that automates many system management and
configuration tasks.
This patch enhances the 'Child' interface with the ability to retry the
deployment after an initial attempt failed. This way, packages can be
installed on demand based on the error feedback of deployment attempts.
The state report reflects the progress of downloading, verifying, and
extracting archives. For the download step, it includes the progress
as reported by fetchurl.
This patch changes the button widget to apply the vertical offset to its
child widgets at draw time, not at the layout phase. This way, the
visual feedback on button press/release changes is more direct because
it sidesteps the geometry animation.
Rename LwIP library in preparation for removal of LwIP libc plugin. The
current LwIP library will be replaced with a new version stripped of its
synchronous socket support. The next version will be incompatible with
the current, so removing 'lwip.lib.so' completely for a period makes it
easy to identify legacy users.
Fix#2797
This patch enhances the box layout such that child widgets are
equally stretched to the available size whenever the box layout's
size is larger than its min size. Furthermore, it corrects the
mixed-up use of the terms east and west in the float widget.
This component creates a GPT on a Block device. It supports the common
actions, as in adding, deleting and modifying entries in the GPT, while
considering alignment constraints. If needed it will round the length of
a partition down to meet those constraints. The component will not
perform layout checking, i.e., it does not care about overlapping
partitions. Only when apping a partition it will make sure that the
partition will fit.
Please read _repos/gems/src/app/gpt_write/README_ for more detailed
information on how to use the component and feel free to check out
_repos/gems/run/gpt_write.run_.
Fixes#2814.
The box-layout widget used to trigger the geometry animation of its
children immediately when updating the widget from the XML model (by
calling 'child->Widget::geometry'). This caused layout inconsistencies
in situations where the box layout is defined not by the constraints of
the child widgets but from the outside (the parent calls Widget::size).
Since the final layout is not known before the parent defines the actual
size, this patch moves the trigger point for the geometry animation to
'Widget::size'.
The new 'version' attribute can be used to explicitly distinguish
widgets that have the same name. E.g., if one widget is removed and
another with the same name is created somewhere else at the same time,
the menu view would normally interpret this change as a movement.
By attaching a distinct 'version' the new instance, menu view won't
attempt perform a smooth transition between the old and new widgets.
This patch addresses the corner case where hovering changes while a
button is held, e.g., when accidentially moving the pointer out of a
application window's area during a drag-and-drop operation. The patch
makes the window manager aware of the drag/idle state. Only when idle,
the pointer position is propagated to the decorator now.
This commit changes the 'Input::Event' type to be more safe and to
deliver symbolic character information along with press events.

The condition must first check the io-buffer length and then check the

page size (io-buffer size) yields an out-of-range read access.
This patch replaces the terminal's formerly built-in fonts with the new
VFS-based font handling.
To avoid the copying of the terminal's font configuration across run
scripts, this patch adds the new terminal/pkg runtime package, which
includes everything needed for instantiating a terminal: the actual
terminal component, the library dependencies (vfs_ttf, which in turn
depends on the libc), a font (bitstream-vera), and a reasonable default
configuration.
Fixes#2758
VFS plugin to replicate from one file-system to another. Can be used to
seed a mutable file-system with an immutable file-system. The plugin is
configure with two paths, a read-only path, and a read-write path. This
is an initial implementation that copies files on open. It is not
optimized to perform actual copy-on-write, but the result is the same.

A ring buffer that uses a single dataspace mapped twice in consecutive
regions. This allows any operation that is less or equal to the size of
the buffer to be read or written in a single pass. The capacity of
Magic_ring_buffer is defined at runtime.
Fix#2725
This commit introduces a VFS plugin that exposes the glyphs and
metadata of a TrueType font as a pseudo file system. The TTF font data
is obtained from the VFS. The resulting pseudo file system is a
directory that contains the files 'glyphs', 'baseline', 'max_width',
and 'max_height'.
The counter part of the plugin is the 'Vfs_font' class that implements
the 'Text_painter::Font' interface by accessing the pseudo file system
as provided by the TTF VFS plugin.
Fixes#2740
This patch improves the `Text_painter` utility that is commonly used by
native Genode components to render text:
- Support for subpixel positioning
- Generic interface for accessing font data
- Basic UTF-8 support
Since the change decouples the font format from the 'Text_painter' and
changes the API to use the sub-pixel accurate 'Text_painter::Position'
type, all users of the utility require an adaptation.
Fixes#2716
The visibility of the client's view is re-evaluated at each animation
step. However, when the client appears long after the initial
fade-in/out animation is completed, the initial visibility state
remaines unchanged. This happens when booting the Sculpt scenario in
Qemu where the the nit_fb instances of the leitzentrale could not be
started in time. This patch fixes the issue by re-evaluating the view
visibility also at the view-creation time.
We need to update the blueprint pkg path as well in case the start node
is changed. Otherwise the query tool will keep using the initially
configured pkg path.
This patch improves the error handling for the case where the depot
lacks the content of the to-be-deployed pkg. Instead of infinitely
reattempting to obtain blueprints for such content, the deploy tool
prints a single message.
If only a single AHCI device is present, the block service provided by
the drivers subsystem allows the client to refer to this block device
via the label 'default'.
Issue #2676
This patch changes the 'depot_deploy' tool to spawn any number of
runtimes. In contrast to the original version, which merely consumed a
blueprint generated by a pre-configured 'depot_query' instance, the new
version actively generates queries as needed. So there is a feedback
loop between 'depot_deploy' and 'depot_query'. The instantiation of
subsystems is controlled by the '<start>' nodes of the 'depot_deploy'
configuration. For each start node, the tool tries to determine the
ingredients (provided by the depot) by asking the 'depot_query' tool.
Once the information is complete, a corresponding start node of the
dynamic init instance is generated.
This patch introduces the subnodes <provides>, <requires>, and
<content> to the <runtime> node. All <rom> sessions that are
expected from the depot appear within the <content> node, which
sets them nicely apart from <rom> sessions that may be required
as runtime arguments.
Note that the <requires> and <provides> nodes do not appear in the
patch because the existing depot_deploy tool does not interpret this
information (the pkg/test-fs_report runtime does not provide any
service, and the timer session is provided as a common route).
This patch adds the config attribute 'query'. If set to the value "rom",
the query information is obtained from a ROM session labeled "query".
Otherwise, the query information is expected to be part of the config.
This enables us to use the component in two different scenarios. In
one scenario, 'depot_query' is embedded in a managed dynamic init.
Here, taking the query from the config is easy. In the other scenario,
'depot_query' is running as a daemon with a once-configured VFS but
varying queries. The queries originate from a component that does not
control the 'depot_query' config.
The new 'Terminal_session::size_changed_sigh' RPC function registers a
signal handler that is triggered each time when the terminal size
changes. It enables the client to adjust itself to the new size by
subsequently calling the 'size' RPC function. Of all terminal servers,
only the graphical terminal triggers this signal.
The 'Buffered_xml' utility is used by three components and a fourth is
on the way. To avoid another duplication of the code, this patch makes
it publicly available at 'os/buffered_xml.h'.
By specifying the 'config' of a '<runtime>' as an attribute, we can
distinguish the case where the config is obtained from a ROM session
from the case where the config is specified inline as a '<config>' node.
The '<dependencies>' attribute 'path' refers to a depot archive.
Depending on the attributes 'source="no"' and 'binary="no" (defaults
shown), the depot_query component determines the source/binary
dependencies of the given archive. The result has the form of a report
with a sequence of <missing> and <present> nodes, each equipped with the
'path' of the dependency.
Since the <query> node results in the generation of a "blueprint"
report, it should better be named <blueprint>. This also clears the way
for adding further query types such as <dependencies>, following the
same pattern of generating a report of the corresponding query name.
This patch removes the former use of ram_fs, fs_rom, and fs_report from
the subsystem and uses a report_rom instead. The fs-based reporting was
introduced to accommodate automatically instantiated usb_block drivers,
which turned out to be impractical for the sculpt scenario.
This is a follow-up commit to "Increase default warning level", which
overrides Genode's new default warning level for targets contained in
higher-level repositories. By explicitly whitelisting all those targets,
we can selectively adjust them to the new strictness over time - by
looking out for 'CC_CXX_WARN_STRICT' in the target description files.
Issue #465
The patch adjust the code of the base, base-<kernel>, and os repository.
To adapt existing components to fix violations of the best practices
suggested by "Effective C++" as reported by the -Weffc++ compiler
argument. The changes follow the patterns outlined below:
* A class with virtual functions can no longer publicly inherit base
classed without a vtable. The inherited object may either be moved
to a member variable, or inherited privately. The latter would be
used for classes that inherit 'List::Element' or 'Avl_node'. In order
to enable the 'List' and 'Avl_tree' to access the meta data, the
'List' must become a friend.
* Instead of adding a virtual destructor to abstract base classes,
we inherit the new 'Interface' class, which contains a virtual
destructor. This way, single-line abstract base classes can stay
as compact as they are now. The 'Interface' utility resides in
base/include/util/interface.h.
* With the new warnings enabled, all member variables must be explicitly
initialized. Basic types may be initialized with '='. All other types
are initialized with braces '{ ... }' or as class initializers. If
basic types and non-basic types appear in a row, it is nice to only
use the brace syntax (also for basic types) and align the braces.
* If a class contains pointers as members, it must now also provide a
copy constructor and assignment operator. In the most cases, one
would make them private, effectively disallowing the objects to be
copied. Unfortunately, this warning cannot be fixed be inheriting
our existing 'Noncopyable' class (the compiler fails to detect that
the inheriting class cannot be copied and still gives the error).
For now, we have to manually add declarations for both the copy
constructor and assignment operator as private class members. Those
declarations should be prepended with a comment like this:
/*
* Noncopyable
*/
Thread(Thread const &);
Thread &operator = (Thread const &);
In the future, we should revisit these places and try to replace
the pointers with references. In the presence of at least one
reference member, the compiler would no longer implicitly generate
a copy constructor. So we could remove the manual declaration.
Issue #465
This patch changes the depot layout such that each archive is
represented as a directory that contains the versions of the archive as
subdirectories.
Issue #2610
The missing dissolve of the dummy decorator input component resulted in
problems when using the themed_decorator when repeatedly opening and
closing windows. In contrast to the default decorator, the themed
decorator creates and destroys nitpicker sessions per window.
This is a follup-up commit for "driver_manager: add fb_boot_drv
support". It refines the heuristics for selecting the most suitable
framebuffer driver be prevent boot_fb_drv from being preferred over
the VESA driver when running in Qemu.
Without this patch, usb_drv would issue a resource request when
assigning a USB device to a VM in the sculpt scenario.
Furthermore, the patch adjusts the intel_fb quota to enable it on
devices where the driver allocates the framebuffer in many 4K pieces.
This is a drivers subsystem that starts the most fundamental
(framebuffer, input, block) device drivers dynamically, depending on the
runtime-detected devices. The discovered block devices are reported
as a "block_devices" report.
This patch applies the handling of cursor keys, function keys, and page
up/down keys even if no keymap is defined. This is the case when using
the terminal with character events produced by the input filter.
Add a "writeable" policy option to the ahci_drv and part_blk Block
servers and default from writeable to ready-only. Should a policy
permit write acesss the session request argument "writeable" may still
downgrade a session to ready-only.
Fix#2469
When idle, menu_view de-schedules timer events to save processing time.
Once reactivated by a dialog update, it computes the passed time and
applies the result to the animator. However, the animation was most likely
started by the update not during the sleep. So the passed time must not
be applied to the animation in this case. Otherwise, many animation steps
are computed at once within a single visible frame.
Furthermore, the patch adjusts the REDRAW_PERIOD to 2, which is a better
value for geometric movements as opposed to mere color-blending effects
where the frame rate does not matter so much.
It also refines the nitpicker-buffer relocation in a way that extends
the buffer but does not shrink it. This lowers the interaction with
nitpicker in situations where the dialog size changes a lot.
By applying the text output to the alpha buffer in addition to the pixel
buffer, labels can now appear without the need for an underlying frame
or button.
The new widget allows one to align a child widget within a larger parent
widget by specifying the boolean attributes 'north', 'south', 'east',
and 'west'. If none is specified, the child is centered. If opposite
attributes are specified, the child is stretched.
The VFS library can be used in single-threaded or multi-threaded
environments and depending on that, signals are handled by the same thread
which uses the VFS library or possibly by a different thread. If a VFS
plugin needs to block to wait for a signal, there is currently no way
which works reliably in both environments.
For this reason, this commit makes the interface of the VFS library
nonblocking, similar to the File_system session interface.
The most important changes are:
- Directories are created and opened with the 'opendir()' function and the
directory entries are read with the recently introduced 'queue_read()'
and 'complete_read()' functions.
- Symbolic links are created and opened with the 'openlink()' function and
the link target is read with the 'queue_read()' and 'complete_read()'
functions and written with the 'write()' function.
- The 'write()' function does not wait for signals anymore. This can have
the effect that data written by a VFS library user has not been
processed by a file system server yet when the library user asks for the
size of the file or closes it (both done with RPC functions at the file
system server). For this reason, a user of the VFS library should
request synchronization before calling 'stat()' or 'close()'. To make
sure that a file system server has processed all write request packets
which a client submitted before the synchronization request,
synchronization is now requested at the file system server with a
synchronization packet instead of an RPC function. Because of this
change, the synchronization interface of the VFS library is now split
into 'queue_sync()' and 'complete_sync()' functions.
Fixes#2399
The launcher.run scenario was last updated mid-may of the recently
developed cap-quota accounting (before all cap types were covered).
Hence, the quotas used in the scenario are too low. This patch adjusts
the values such that the scenario can be started on NOVA on Qemu. It
also fixes a warning about a deprecated way of configuring the
report_rom component.
Thanks to Jörg-Christian Böhme for reporting!
With the capability-quota mechanism, the terminal-session won't always
be constructed completely on the first try (we may run out of caps in
the middle of the construction). Therefore, all members of the object
must be properly destructable. Furthermore, the patch replaces the
sliced heap by a heap to avoid allocating a new dataspace for each line
of the cell array.
Previously, the Genode::Timer::curr_time always used the
Timer_session::elapsed_ms RPC as back end. Now, Genode::Timer reads
this remote time only in a periodic fashion independently from the calls
to Genode::Timer::curr_time. If now one calls Genode::Timer::curr_time,
the function takes the last read remote time value and adapts it using
the timestamp difference since the remote-time read. The conversion
factor from timestamps to time is estimated on every remote-time read
using the last read remote-time value and the timestamp difference since
the last remote time read.
This commit also re-works the timeout test. The test now has two stages.
In the first stage, it tests fast polling of the
Genode::Timer::curr_time. This stage checks the error between locally
interpolated and timer-driver time as well as wether the locally
interpolated time is monotone and sufficiently homogeneous. In the
second stage several periodic and one-shot timeouts are scheduled at
once. This stage checks if the timeouts trigger sufficiently precise.
This commit adds the new Kernel::time syscall to base-hw. The syscall is
solely used by the Genode::Timer on base-hw as substitute for the
timestamp. This is because on ARM, the timestamp function uses the ARM
performance counter that stops counting when the WFI (wait for
interrupt) instruction is active. This instruction, however is used by
the base-hw idle contexts that get active when no user thread needs to
be scheduled. Thus, the ARM performance counter is not a good choice for
time interpolation and we use the kernel internal time instead.
With this commit, the timeout library becomes a basic library. That means
that it is linked against the LDSO which then provides it to the program it
serves. Furthermore, you can't use the timeout library anymore without the
LDSO because through the kernel-dependent LDSO make-files we can achieve a
kernel-dependent timeout implementation.
This commit introduces a structured Duration type that shall successively
replace the use of Microseconds, Milliseconds, and integer types for duration
values.
Open issues:
* The timeout test fails on Raspberry PI because of precision errors in the
first stage. However, this does not render the framework unusable in general
on the RPI but merely is an issue when speaking of microseconds precision.
* If we run on ARM with another Kernel than HW the timestamp speed may
continuously vary from almost 0 up to CPU speed. The Timer, however,
only uses interpolation if the timestamp speed remained stable (12.5%
tolerance) for at least 3 observation periods. Currently, one period is
100ms, so its 300ms. As long as this is not the case,
Timer_session::elapsed_ms is called instead.
Anyway, it might happen that the CPU load was stable for some time so
interpolation becomes active and now the timestamp speed drops. In the
worst case, we would now have 100ms of slowed down time. The bad thing
about it would be, that this also affects the timeout of the period.
Thus, it might "freeze" the local time for more than 100ms.
On the other hand, if the timestamp speed suddenly raises after some
stable time, interpolated time can get too fast. This would shorten the
period but nonetheless may result in drifting away into the far future.
Now we would have the problem that we can't deliver the real time
anymore until it has caught up because the output of Timer::curr_time
shall be monotone. So, effectively local time might "freeze" again for
more than 100ms.
It would be a solution to not use the Trace::timestamp on ARM w/o HW but
a function whose return value causes the Timer to never use
interpolation because of its stability policy.

Removes the following Fiasco.OC specific features:

* Kernel debugger terminal driver
* Obsolete interface Native_pd
* Obsolete function of interface Native_cpu
This patch reduces the number of exception types by facilitating
globally defined exceptions for common usage patterns shared by most
services. In particular, RPC functions that demand a session-resource
upgrade not longer reflect this condition via a session-specific
exception but via the 'Out_of_ram' or 'Out_of_caps' types.
Furthermore, the 'Parent::Service_denied', 'Parent::Unavailable',
'Root::Invalid_args', 'Root::Unavailable', 'Service::Invalid_args',
'Service::Unavailable', and 'Local_service::Factory::Denied' types have
been replaced by the single 'Service_denied' exception type defined in
'session/session.h'.
This consolidation eases the error handling (there are fewer exceptions
to handle), alleviates the need to convert exceptions along the
session-creation call chain, and avoids possible aliasing problems
(catching the wrong type with the same name but living in a different
scope).
This patch mirrors the accounting and trading scheme that Genode employs
for physical memory to the accounting of capability allocations.
Capability quotas must now be explicitly assigned to subsystems by
specifying a 'caps=<amount>' attribute to init's start nodes.
Analogously to RAM quotas, cap quotas can be traded between clients and
servers as part of the session protocol. The capability budget of each
component is maintained by the component's corresponding PD session at
core.
At the current stage, the accounting is applied to RPC capabilities,
signal-context capabilities, and dataspace capabilities. Capabilities
that are dynamically allocated via core's CPU and TRACE service are not
yet covered. Also, the capabilities allocated by resource multiplexers
outside of core (like nitpicker) must be accounted by the respective
servers, which is not covered yet.
If a component runs out of capabilities, core's PD service prints a
warning to the log. To observe the consumption of capabilities per
component in detail, the PD service is equipped with a diagnostic
mode, which can be enabled via the 'diag' attribute in the target
node of init's routing rules. E.g., the following route enables the
diagnostic mode for the PD session of the "timer" component:
<default-route>
<service name="PD" unscoped_label="timer">
<parent diag="yes"/>
</service>
...
</default-route>
For subsystems based on a sub-init instance, init can be configured
to report the capability-quota information of its subsystems by
adding the attribute 'child_caps="yes"' to init's '<report>'
config node. Init's own capability quota can be reported by adding
the attribute 'init_caps="yes"'.
Fixes#2398
This patch makes use of the new 'Quota_transfer::Account' by the service
types in base/service.h and uses 'Quota_transfer' objects in
base/child.cc and init/server.cc.
Furthermore, it decouples the notion of an 'Async_service' from
'Child_service'. Init's 'Routed_service' is no longer a 'Child_service'
but is based on the new 'Async_service' instead.
With this patch in place, quota transfers do no longer implicitly use
'Ram_session_client' objects. So transfers can in principle originate
from component-local 'Ram_session_component' objects, e.g., as used by
noux. Therefore, this patch removes a strumbling block for turning noux
into a single threaded component in the future.
Issue #2398
This patch replaces the former use of size_t with the use of the
'Ram_quota' type to improve type safety (in particular to avoid
accidentally mixing up RAM quotas with cap quotas).
Issue #2398
Ldso now does not automatically execute static constructors of the
binary and shared libraries the binary depends on. If static
construction is required (e.g., if a shared library with constructor is
used or a compilation unit contains global statics) the component needs
to execute the constructors explicitly in Component::construct() via
Genode::Env::exec_static_constructors().
In the case of libc components this is done by the libc startup code
(i.e., the Component::construct() implementation in the libc).
The loading of shared objects at runtime is not affected by this change
and constructors of those objects are executed immediately.
Fixes#2332
This patch adds the handling of 'CHARACTER' events as emitted by the
input-filter's character generator (<chargen>). To avoid interpreting
press/release events twice (at the input filter and by the terminal's
built-in scancode tracker), the terminal's scancode tracker can be
explicitly disabled via <config> <keyboard layout="none"/> </config>.
In the future, the terminal's built-in scancode tracker will be
removed.
The use of the terminal with the input filter is illustrated by the
'terminal_echo.run' script.

Fixes#2240
The session-control mechanism is based on the way how sessions are
labeled. In #2171, we changed the labeling to be more strict. In
particular, label-less sessions do no longer exist.
Unfortunately, nitpicker and the window manager still handled the former
weaker labeling, which ultimately led to a situation where any
session-control argument would mismatch. The behavior could be observed
in the launcher.run script where a click on the subsystem button would
not focus the clicked-on subsystem. With the patch, the scenario works
again as expected.
Libc::Env is the Genode::Env interface extended to cover access
to the XML content of the 'config' ROM and a VFS instance. This
deduplicates the burden of components to attain and manage
these resources.
Fix#2217
Ref #1987
This patch removes the component_entry_point library, which used to
proved a hook for the libc to intercept the call of the
'Component::construct' function. The mechansim has several shortcomings
(see the discussion in the associated issue) and was complex. So we
eventually discarded the approach in favor of the explicit handling of
the startup.
A regular Genode component provides a 'Component::construct' function,
which is determined by the dynamic linker via a symbol lookup.
For the time being, the dynamic linker falls back to looking up a 'main'
function if no 'Component::construct' function could be found.
The libc provides an implementation of 'Component::construct', which
sets up the libc's task handling and finally call the function
'Libc::Component::construct' from the context of the appllication task.
This function is expected to be provided by the libc-using application.
Consequently, Genode components that use the libc have to implement the
'Libc::Component::construct' function.
The new 'posix' library provides an implementation of
'Libc::Component::construct' that calls a main function. Hence, POSIX
programs that merely use the POSIX API merely have to add 'posix' to the
'LIBS' declaration in their 'target.mk' file. Their execution starts at
'main'.
Issue #2199
The header is foc-specific. It used to shadow the generic one provided
by the base repository, which contradicts with the kernel-agnostic
Genode API. Hence, it had to be moved to a foc-specific location.
This patch unconditionally applies the labeling of sessions and thereby
removes the most common use case of 'Child_policy::filter_session_args'.
Furthermore, the patch removes an ambiguity of the session labels of
sessions created by the parent of behalf of its child, e.g., the PD
session created as part of 'Child' now has the label "<child-name>"
whereas an unlabeled PD-session request originating from the child
has the label "<child-name> -> ". This way, the routing-policy of
'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' can differentiate both cases.
As a consequence, the stricter labeling must now be considered wherever
a precise label was specified as a key for a session route or a server-
side policy selection. The simplest way to adapt those cases is to use a
'label_prefix' instead of the 'label' attribute. Alternatively, the
'label' attribute may used by appending " -> " (note the whitespace).
Fixes#2171
This patch adjusts the various users of the 'Child' API to the changes
on the account of the new non-blocking parent interface. It also removes
the use of the no-longer-available 'Connection::KEEP_OPEN' feature.
With the adjustment, we took the opportunity to redesign several
components to fit the non-blocking execution model much better, in
particular the demo applications.
Issue #2120
This is a redesign of the root and parent interfaces to eliminate
blocking RPC calls.
- New session representation at the parent (base/session_state.h)
- base-internal root proxy mechanism as migration path
- Redesign of base/service.h
- Removes ancient 'Connection::KEEP_OPEN' feature
- Interface change of 'Child', 'Child_policy', 'Slave', 'Slave_policy'
- New 'Slave::Connection'
- Changed child-construction procedure to be compatible with the
non-blocking parent interface and to be easier to use
- The child's initial LOG session, its binary ROM session, and the
linker ROM session have become part of the child's envirenment.
- Session upgrading must now be performed via 'env.upgrade' instead
of performing a sole RPC call the parent. To make RAM upgrades
easier, the 'Connection' provides a new 'upgrade_ram' method.

Ref #1987
Besides adapting the components to the use of base/log.h, the patch
cleans up a few base headers, i.e., it removes unused includes from
root/component.h, specifically base/heap.h and
ram_session/ram_session.h. Hence, components that relied on the implicit
inclusion of those headers have to manually include those headers now.
While adjusting the log messages, I repeatedly stumbled over the problem
that printing char * arguments is ambiguous. It is unclear whether to
print the argument as pointer or null-terminated string. To overcome
this problem, the patch introduces a new type 'Cstring' that allows the
caller to express that the argument should be handled as null-terminated
string. As a nice side effect, with this type in place, the optional len
argument of the 'String' class could be removed. Instead of supplying a
pair of (char const *, size_t), the constructor accepts a 'Cstring'.
This, in turn, clears the way let the 'String' constructor use the new
output mechanism to assemble a string from multiple arguments (and
thereby getting rid of snprintf within Genode in the near future).
To enforce the explicit resolution of the char * ambiguity, the 'char *'
overload of the 'print' function is marked as deleted.

Fixes#2002
This patch cleans up the thread API and comes with the following
noteworthy changes:
- Introduced Cpu_session::Weight type that replaces a formerly used
plain integer value to prevent the accidental mix-up of
arguments.
- The enum definition of Cpu_session::DEFAULT_WEIGHT moved to
Cpu_session::Weight::DEFAULT_WEIGHT
- New Thread constructor that takes a 'Env &' as first argument.
The original constructors are now marked as deprecated. For the
common use case where the default 'Weight' and 'Affinity' are
used, a shortcut is provided. In the long term, those two
constructors should be the only ones to remain.
- The former 'Thread<>' class template has been renamed to
'Thread_deprecated'.
- The former 'Thread_base' class is now called 'Thread'.
- The new 'name()' accessor returns the thread's name as 'Name'
object as centrally defined via 'Cpu_session::Name'. It is meant to
replace the old-fashioned 'name' method that takes a buffer and size
as arguments.
- Adaptation of the thread test to the new API
Issue #1954
This patch makes the former 'Process' class private to the 'Child'
class and changes the constructor of the 'Child' in a way that
principally enables the implementation of single-threaded runtime
environments that virtualize the CPU, PD, and RAM services. The
new interfaces has become free from side effects. I.e., instead
of implicitly using Genode::env()->rm_session(), it takes the reference
to the local region map as argument. Also, the handling of the dynamic
linker via global variables is gone. Now, the linker binary must be
provided as constructor argument.
Fixes#1949
Currently the report name is used implicitly as first xml node name for the
report. This is inconvenient if one component wants to generate various xml
reports under various names (e.g. to steer consumers/clients slightly
differently) but with the same xml node tree structure.

If attached ROM dataspaces are not valid after update(), code that uses
these ROMs produces

This patch removes a superfluous resize request at the creation time of
a new window, which resulted from _requested_size being initialized with
zero whereas the _geometry was initialized with the actual window
geometry. In some cases, this inconsistency led to the report of a new
resize request for the size 0x0, which is obviously wrong. I.e., it
leads clients to believe that the user has closed the window.
This patch resets the part of the window state that is responsible the
dragging of window controls once the drag operation is finalized.
Without it, the window was wrongly positioned when leaving the maximized
state after a previous resize operation.
This patch adds support for manipulating the window layout with keyboard
actions. It supports the toggling of fullscreen (aka maximize), the
raising of the currently focused window, and the focusing the next/previous
window.
This patch adds the mechanics for detecting key sequences to the window
layouter. Sequences for layouter actions can be expressed in the
layouter configuration. They cannot trigger any real action yet.
This patch weakens the themed decorator's demands with respect to the
supplied theme data. It no longer strictly requires the specification of
the '<closer>', '<title>', and '<maximizer>' nodes and the accompanied
png/tff data. Furthermore, the default.png can be left out if both decor
and aura have a size of zero.
This patch enhances the layouter to apply a label-dependent policy
for the placement of new windows. The policy may contain the
attributes 'xpos', 'ypos', and 'maximized'. If the latter is set
to "yes", the matching window will appear in maximized state.
Explicitly cast floats to long as we currently do not plan to support
float in Xml_generator and previously the value was implicitly casted to
long anyway.

Fixes#1795.
This patch changes the decorator to always apply stacking-order changes
immediately instead of deferring the re-stacking of the nitpicker views
to the next call of 'update_nitpicker_views'. The deferred application
did not always work when more then one windows changed their stacking
position at once because the cached '_neighbor' values interfered with
each other.
The eager re-stacking should not have negative effects on the user
experience because, in contrast to re-positioning, re-stacking a rare
operation.
This change makes it possible to reuse the generic window decorator
classes in include/decorator/ for decorators of a different structure.
E.g., instead of painting decorations on a single nitpicker session,
each window may paint its decorations into additional window-specific
nitpicker sessions.
For each session upgrade performed by a wm client as part of the
Nitpicker::Connection::buffer function, the window manager wrongly
upgraded the wrapped nitpicker session twice: Once by handling the
Root::upgrade, and again by handling of the server-side 'buffer'
operation. Here, the 'buffer' operation was implemented by not merely
forwarding the RPC request to the wrapped nitpicker session but by
calling the 'buffer' method on the wrapped session's connection
object, which implictly issues session upgrades. Consequently,
the window manager would transfer twice the amount of the session
upgrades it received by its clients to nitpicker and eventually ran
out of memory.
The patch fixes the problem by eliminating the call of the
Nitpicker::Connection::buffer method and instead merely forward the RPC
requests to the wrapped nitpicker sessions.
This patch, complements the existing vbox layout with a hbox layout and
improves the response to dynamic dialog updates. The new version support
disappearing widgets and the reordering of widgets. Furthermore, this
patch ensures that the 'Widget::_layout' functions are executed after
updating a new version of the dialog.
This patch improves the decorator in two ways. First, it enables the
assignment of window colors depending on the window labels. This
configuration can be changed dynamically. Second, it adds the handling
of window controls for closing, maximizing, minimizing windows.

Until now, the CLI monitor and the laucher allowed the user to explitly

If a client provides a read buffer of insufficient size for all
available data, we have two options
1) Leave it to the client to do partial reads until not further data is
available, or
2) Signal the client that there still some bytes on a partial read.
As the second option seems more robust it's implemented in this commit.

This patch changes the window manager, the decorator, and the
floating window layouter to propagate the usage of an alpha channel from
the client application to the decorator. This way, the decorator can
paint the decoration elements behind the affected windows, which would
otherwise be skipped.
This patch adds two new painters located at gems/include/polygon_gfx.
Both painters draw convex polygons with an arbirary number of points.
The shaded-polygon painter interpolates the color and alpha values
whereas the textured-polygon painter applies a texture to the polygon.
The painters are accompanied by simplistic 3D routines located at
gems/include/nano3d/ and a corresponding example (gems/run/nano3d.run).
The menu view generates a simple dialog of widgets and reports the
hovered element. It is meant to be embedded into applications that
require simple GUIs but don't want to deal with the pecularities of
a full-blown widget set.
If the Rom_session::update function returns false, the ROM dataspace may
have been physically destructed (and core has removed all mappings).
In this case, we have to omit the detach operation in the destructor
of 'Attached_dataspace' to avoid detaching the same region twice.
The headers 'texture_rgb565.h' and 'texture_rgb888' contain
template specializations needed for using the 'Texture::rgba' function
for the respective pixel formats. The specializations were formerly
contained in application-local code.
The window manager provides a nitpicker session interface. In contrast
to the nitpicker server, which leaves the view layout up to the client,
the window manager organizes the views on screen according to a policy
provided by a window layouter. Furthermore, it equips views with window
decorations as provided by a window decorator. Both layouter and
decorator are independent programs.
This patch changes both the Input::Session interface and the skeleton
for the server-side implementation of this interface
('input/component.h').
The Input::Session interface offers a new 'sigh' function, which can be
called be the client to register a signal handler. The signal handler
gets notified on the arrival of new input. This alleviates the need to
poll for input events at the client side.
The server-side skeleton for implementing input services underwent a
redesign to make it more modular and robust. I.e., there are no
global functions needed at the server side and the event-queue
enable/disable mechanism is implemented at a central place (in the root
component) rather than inside each driver.
