This patch fosters the batching of network packets transferred by the
lwIP stack over the NIC connection. It replaces the eager submission of
the packet-stream's data-flow signals by explicit wakeup notifications.
The commit also increases the NIC session's buffer size from 128 to 1024
packets.
Issue #4697
This patch facilitates the batching of I/O operations in the VFS library
by replacing the implicit wakeup of remote peer (via the traditional
packet-stream interface like 'submit_packet') by explicit wakeup
signalling.
The wakeup signalling is triggered not before the VFS user settles down.
E.g., for libc-based applications, this is the case if the libc goes
idle, waiting for external I/O.
In the case of a busy writer to a non-blocking file descriptor or socket
(e.g., lighttpd), the remote peers are woken up once a write operation
yields an out-count of 0.
The deferring of wakeup signals is accommodated by the new 'Remote_io'
mechanism (vfs/remote_io.h) that is designated to be used by all VFS
plugins that interact with asynchronous Genode services for I/O.
Issue #4697
The commit "sculpt_manager: relax nic_drv policy label" introduced the use of
the "label_prefix" attribute instead of "label" for the uplink policy in the
NIC router. However, it missed an appropriate adaption of the lookup of that
attribute when the Sculpt manager has to decide which uplink is used in a
manually managed router config. This caused the uplink to disappear whenever a
user created a manually managed router config. This commit fixes the problem.

Although we do not have the full ACPI information parsed yet, to
announce non-PCI devices derived from the ACPI tables, the device
description of the assumed devices is now integral-part of pci_decode.
Formerly, the information was gained separatedly as boot-module, whereby
we lost synchronization in between ACPI/PCI parsing, BIOS handover, and
PS/2 emulation code already acting.
The platform driver configuration is missing the required 'info'
attribute that allows the 'vesa_fb_drv' to map the proper I/O
memory address of the framebuffer. In addition the driver requires
at least '2' more CAPs, so raise the quota to '110'.
Fixes#4668.
This patch makes the component graph better reusable for the phone
version of Sculpt. In the phone version, the '+' menu does not exist.
So we need to omit the corresponding button. Furthermore, the storage
dialog is presented in a dedicate section of the GUI instead of
presenting it inside the 'storage' graph node. The phone version
also does not offer the inspect view. So we need to omit the
corresponding buttons.
When using the newer genode_c_api uplink library, an uplink connection uses
the device name as label, which enables integrators to use different policies
resp. routes for different devices driven by one driver. The nic_drv policy
of the nic_roouter configuration generated by the sculpt_manager however uses
an empty label like: "nic_drv -> ". This is the way how existent NIC drivers,
like ipxe_nic_drv requested their uplink session. To support both driver
variants this commit relaxes the policy by checking for a prefix only.

This patch removes the intermediate querying of the depot while the
installation of packages is in progress. This avoids misleading warning
messages and reduces superfluous file-system load during the
installation of large packages.
Issue #4631
This patch reflects both the pci_decode results and the platform
driver's aggregated device information in Sculpt's /report/drivers/ in
the form of pci_devices and devices files respectively.
Until now, the /config/system ROM was not handled by the sculpt manager
but solely managed by the user. Its main purpose was the ability to
reset or power-down the machine by manually modifying the 'state'
attribute. However, down the road, we'd like to enable the sculpt
manager to drive this state, e.g., to implement the multi-staged
loading of drivers, or to drive suspend-resume states.
The support such scenarios, the 'system' state has been moved from
/config/system to /config/managed/system.
This is a follow-up commit for "menu_view: configurable alpha channel
and bg color", which simplifies the code. The '_no_alpha' surface is not
needed because the 'Gui_buffer' provides a 0x0 alpha surface when using
the opaque mode.
This patch changes the access of pkg-archives files such that the file
read only once per pkg, not for each ROM module used by the package.
Issue #4611
By caching directory listings, the performance of depot_query is no
longer impeded by a massive amount of stat calls while searching for ROM
module locations.
Issue #4611
Upon closer inspection of real-world access patterns, it turns out that
the 'Stat_cache' and 'Cached_rom_query' are not as effective as hoped
for because cache hits are rare while querying pkg blueprints.
However, by increasing the initial size of the blueprint reporter from 4
KiB (default) to 64 KiB has a great effect. With the small default
report size, the querying of blueprints is repeated until the buffer
size suffices, incrementing the buffer size by 4 KiB in each iteration.
Issue #4611
The new 'Dictionary' provides an easy way to access objects using
strings as key. The 'String' received the 'operator >' to simplify the
organization of strings in an AVL tree.
The patch removes the former definition of the 'operator >' from the
platform driver because it would be ambigious now.
Fixes#4610
This patch avoids repetitive depot queries at the start of the Sculpt
system.
We don't need to trigger a query unconditionally whenever the
managed/deploy changes because the call of 'handle_deploy' triggers a
query when needed.
We don't need to trigger a query once the prepare step is completed
because the depot_query component is spawned at this point. The initial
blueprint produced by the depot_query component, in turn, triggers the
'handle_deploy' mechanics in the sculpt manager.
The constructor of the Sculpt manager's 'Main' does not need to call
'depot_deploy' because the prepare step - which is a precondition for
the deployment - cannot be completed at this point anyway.
This patch splits the former DEPOT=omit option into two variants.
The new 'list' option behaves like the former 'omit' option, skipping
the creation of the tar archive from the depot content referenced by the
deploy configuration but showing a list of depot archives that need to
be published for the deployment.
When specifying 'omit' in th new version, the local depot is not queried
for the packages referenced in the deploy configuration. So the
deployment can refer to packaged hosted only remotely.
Fixes#4605
If provided with a config that does not include a `<static>` or
`<common_routes>` node, depot_deploy exits due to a `Nonexistent_sub_node`
exception. Instead, we should output a more useful warning.

The `with_sub_node` method is renamed to `with_optional_sub_node` to
better reflect that the non-existence of a sub node with the desired type is
ignored.
At the same time, the new `with_sub_node` now takes a second functor that is
called when no sub node of the desired type exists.
genodelabs/genode#4600
The 'file' library makes the gems API depend on the libc, which is not
desireable because most users of the gems API have no direct libc
dependency.
With the changes of issue #4599, the build of each src archive that
depends on the gems API would attempt to build the 'file' library and
thereby demand the libc.
Note that the 'file' library is a relic that should better not be
promoted as part of the gems API. Hence, this patch removes the file
library from the gems API and adds it to the src archives of the few
remaining users.
Issue #4599
This style is used by the upcoming phone version of Sculpt for GUI
elements that are supposed to stand out a little bit more than the
regular frame style.
This patch enhances menu_view with the optional configuration attributes
'opaque' and 'background'. Setting 'opaque' to "yes" suppresses the use
of the alpha channel at the GUI session. This improves the drawing
performance by 20% on the PinePhone. Since the menu_view uses the
gems/gui_buffer.h utility, the 'Gui_buffer' received a new 'Alpha'
argument at construction time.
The 'background' attribute can be specified to define the reset color of
the GUI buffer. It alleviates the need to create a frame widget for the
top level.
The patch also switches the optimization level for compiling menu_view
to -O3, which increases the drawing performance on the PinePhone by 30%.
Fixes#4592
This change increases the quota to allow the use of bigger fonts, and
tweaks the style such that the keyboard gets a decent appearance on the
PinePhone's 1440x720 display.
This patch adds principle support for using a USB-net modem as
mobile-data uplink. The change is motivated by the upcoming phone
manager for the PinePhone where the modem serves as the primary network
uplink. For the regular PC version of Sculpt, the feature is not needed
(hence remains disabled) because USB net can be deployed from a package
as described in:
https://genodians.org/jschlatow/2021-07-21-mobile-network
The patch also renames the "Local" network option to "Disconnected" to
be more intuitive.
By decoupling the network dialog's menu view from the 'Network' class,
we become able to host the network dialog in the same menu view instance
as other dialogs.
This patch allows the sculpt manager hosted in the leitzentrale
subsystem to observe the toggling between the runtime and the
administrative GUI. This enables alternatives to the use of the
gui_fader for switching between both views. In particular, the
upcoming phone_manager toggles the visibility of its own GUI
depending on the leitzentrale state.
In a Sculpt system based on the upcoming phone_manager, the event filter
obtains its static configuration from /config/managed/event_filter.
Without the requirement for changes at runtime, there is no need to
have the phone_manager in the loop after all.
Without this patch however, this file was always initialized with the
template gems/sculpt/event_filter/default, which was presumably used
only at boot time until the sculpt manager has produced the first
generated event-filter configuration.
This patch applies the choice of optional configs - i.e., a custom
event_filter config - to both the config/ and the initial content of
config/managed/. So in cases where the /config/managed/event_filter
remains entirely static, the latter properly reflects the choosen
variant.
By using the new functions provided by the base API, this patch removes
the dependency of several components from include/decorator/xml_utils.h.

This patch allows the leitzentrale subsystem to control an audio driver

absolute motion events but only touch events occur. Previously, such

This patch fixes rare freezes of menu view instances, which could happen boot
time whenever the leitzentale GUI happens to get initialized before the display
driver finished setting up a reasonable mode. In this case, the resolution-
dependent font size can temporarily get almost zero, tripping up the glyph
renderer.

This patch reduces the response time of supposedly stuck situations like
an unresponsive part_block component. First, it reduces the heartbeat
rate from 1 to 2 seconds to make it consistent with the frequency of
state reports. Second, it allows up to four skipped heartbeats until
regarding the situation as stuck. With those changes, the prolonged
initialization sequence of a USB ZIP drive succeeds with Sculpt.
This patch handles the corner case of switching virtual desktops while
child views are visible. Examples of such child views are tool tips,
pull-down menus, or the graph of the top-view utility. The switch to
another virtual desktop would implicitely turn the child views into
top-level views of the root nitpicker GUI server until switching back
to the original virtual desktop.
The patch implements the expected behavior of hiding all child views
that belong to a disappearing top-level view.
The quota adjustments prevent the leitzentrale's decorator from running
out of RAM, and allow the nitpicker GUI server to preserve buffer
content during resize (reducing flickering artifacts) when using a
screen resolution up to 2560x1440.
This patch adds the trace-logger utility to the default set of packages
along with an optional launcher. With this change, only two steps are
needed to use Genode's tracing mechanism with Sculpt:
- Add 'trace_logger' to the 'launcher:' list of the .sculpt file
- Either manually select the 'trace_logger' from the '+' menu,
or add the following entry to the deploy configuration:
<start name="trace_logger"/>
By default, the trace logger is configured to trace all threads
executed in the runtime subsystem and to print a report every 10
seconds. This default policy can be refined in the launcher's <config>
node. Note that the trace logger does not respond to configuration
changes during runtime. Changes come into effect not before restarting
the component.

The value of 50% as assigned by commit "sculpt: add basic support for
i.MX8 Quad EVK" leaves too little room for other components of the
runtime subsystem. With the adjustements of commit "sculpt: assign CPU
quotas" the sum exeedcs 100%. Hence this commit tunes down the value to
sensible 10%.
By assigning CPU budgets, base-hw's priorities come into effect.
Even though the chosen values are rather guessed than informed, they
yield a visibly improved responsiveness on the Pinephone.

Switch the code to 0 lengh array instead. The code in
Lru_cache::element_size calls sizeof on this structure. This works in
gcc, but fails when using clang. Even for GCC however the documentation
states:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."
Basically its an implementation quirk that clang does not support. Both
GCC and clang do support zero sized arrays however so using them here
allows both compilers to process this code.

Issue #4405
This patch makes Sculpt's leitzentrale GUI able to respond to touch events. It
formerly assumed that click/clack events are always preceded by hover reports
that identify the clicked-on widgets. For touch events, however, the most
up-to-date hover information referred to the previous click because there is no
motion without touching. So the GUI tended to identify the wrong widgets as
click targets.
The patch solved this problem by testing the freshness of the hover information
at the time of the click. If the hover information is older than the click, the
action is deferred until up-to-date hover information becomes available.
