The current default session RAM quota of 36 KiB reflects the needs of
the nitpicker GUI server. However, in most commonly used scenarios, a
GUI client connects to nitpicker indirectly via the wm. The low value
worked so far because the wm did not account RAM and cap usage per
client so far but paid out of its own pocket and faithfully forwarded
all resource upgrades to nitpicker.
When adding resource accounting to the wm, the old default value has the
effect that a new client has to repeatedly attempt the session creation -
each time offering sligthly more session quota - until both nitpicker and
the wm are satisfied.
By roughly doubling the default to 80 KiB, a wm client immediately
succeeds with opening a GUI session without repeated attempts.
By specifying a custom 'cap_quota' amount to the 'Genode::Connection',
the Gui::Connection now donates enough caps for both the wm and
nitpicker.
Issue #5340
By default, a 'Connection' donates an amount of caps as declared in
SESSION_TYPE::CAP_QUOTA to the server at session-creation time.
In some situations, however, a client may deliberately want to donate a
larger amount. For example, when opening a GUI session at the wm, the
total amount of needed caps is the sum of those consumed by the wm plus
those consumed by nitpicker. Using this knowledge, the Gui::Connection
may specify a sufficient amount to avoid iterative session-creation
retries. The new 'Connection' constructor accommodates this use case by
accepting an explicit 'cap_quota' argument.
Issue #5340
This patch deduces the caps needed for the framebuffer and input RPC
objects from the resources accounted locally within the session. It also
takes precautions for the situation where a client offers too little
resources, prompting the mid-way cancelling of the 'Session_component'
creation. With the patch, the 'ep.manage' operations are rolled back
by the corresponding 'ep.dissolve' operations.
Issue #5340
This patch moves the eager allocation of view capabilities from the
'view' and 'child_view' RPC functions to the 'view_capability' RPC
function, reducing the consumption of capabilities in all scenarios
where views don't need to be shared between GUI sessions.

The gui_fb client may have installed a custom sync_sigh and mode_sigh.
Reset those signal handlers at the GUI server should the client
disappear. Otherwise, the GUI server (nitpicker) continues to attempt
transmitting sync signals to the no-longer existing component, spamming
the log with "Warning: invalid signal-context capability" messages.
Don't use client-provided view IDs as IDs for the wrapped nitpicker
views. There is no 1:1 relation of IDs and physical views. So if a wm
client re-uses an ID, the physical view is expected to stay in tact.
If the corresponding view object within the wm is not destroyed, however,
its ID remains allocated, which may then conflict the ID of a new view
if the ID is reused by the client. This scenario resulted in the
following error:
Error: Uncaught exception of type 'Genode::Id_space<Gui::View_ref>::Conflicting_id'
This patch handles the situation by keeping the allocator of physical
views (_real_view) decoupled from the client's ID allocator.

This commit replaces the current vbox5 based USB HID raw test, which

This commit allows for suppressing failed extract operations by
setting the 'ignore_failures' attribute in the 'config' node.
It is intended for operating the component in batch-mode where
multiple archives need to be extracted but failing to extract
some of them can by ignored. The default value of this option
is 'false'.
It also adds the 'stop_on_failure' attribute that instructs
the component to stop processing any following archives after
it already has failed to do so. The default value of this
option is 'true' to preserve the current behavior.

Now, we schedule before unblocking the rx_task. This is done in order to

which in turn may execute soft-interrupt handlers through bottom half

Since the preset contains mesa_gpu-intel, it is specific to the pc
platform. Other platform-specific repos (such as allwinner) may contain
their own preset with the same name. To prevent that Sculpt images use
the wrong preset due to the particular order in the build.conf, we move
the preset into the pc repo.

Issue #5305
This interface change gives GUI servers the freedom to allocate view
capabilities at the time of request instead of the creation time of the
view. This is useful because view capabilities are rarely needed.
Issue #5242
This patch moves the management of view IDs from the server to the
client side. The former 'create_view' and 'create_child_view'
operations do no longer return a view ID but take a view ID as
argument. While changing those operations, this patch takes the
opportunity to allow for initial view attributes. Combined, those
changes simplify the window manager while accommodating typical
client use cases with less code.
To ease the client-side ID management, the Gui::Connection hosts
a 'view_ids' ID space for optional use. E.g., the new 'Top_level_view'
class uses this ID space for ID allocation. This class accommodates the
most typical use case of opening a single window.
The 'alloc_view_id' RPC function is no longer needed.
Issue #5242
This patch reworks the view-ID handling within the nitpicker GUI server
and the window manager. The namespace of view handles are now represented
as an Id_space. In constrast to the former "handles", which could be
invalid, IDs cannot be semantically overloaded with anything other than
an actual view reference. There is no notion of an invalid handle.
IDs are like C++ references (which cannot be a nullptr).
This change requires the code to be more explicit. E.g., the stacking of
a few at the front-most position can no longer be expressed by passing
an invalid handle as neighbor.
Issue #5242
Express the allocation of a new view handle by a dedicated RPC function
instead of passing an invalid view handle to the existing 'view_handle'
function.
This eliminates the notion of invalid view handles at the GUI session
interface, clearing the way for managing view handles via an Id_space.
Issue #5242
This patch eliminates the use of invalid view handles as special
Session::Command arguments. The TO_FRONT and TO_BACK operations
interpreted as invalid neighbor as top-most or back-most position.
Those corner cases are now expressed via dedicated commands. The
new stacking commands are FRONT, BACK, FRONT_OF, and BEHIND_OF.
While changing the command interface, the patch removes the OP_
prefix from the opcode values.
Issue #5242
- Rename framebuffer_session to framebuffer and
input_session to input as those RPC interfaces are no longer
meant to be used as stand-alone sessions.
- Host Connection::input and Connection::framebuffer as public
members, thereby removing the use of pointers. This simplifies
the client-sized code. E.g., '_gui.input()->pending()' becomes
'_gui.input.pending()'.
Issue #5242
To maintain ease of use at the client side, the OUT_OF_RAM and
OUT_OF_CAPS results are handled at the 'Gui::Connection' now.
Gui::Connection does not inherit the Gui::Session interface any longer,
which allows for the use of different result types.
Issue #5242
Issue #5245
This patch replaces the optional parent argument of the create_view
RPC function by a dedicated create_child_view RPC function. This
is a preparatory step of removing the notion of an invalid handle
as a special case.
Issue #5242
The fd event handling uses the fd to directly access the array slot and
expects the fds to be contiguous and capped.
Since the returned fds from our libc were much larger than expected,
because the libc itself consumes multiple fds when managing sockets,
using the fd in this manner leads to memory corruption.
This commit limits the maxfds to 63 and always allocates 1024 slots
in the fd-array.
Fixes#5320.
Add extended FPU state detection and handling (via xsave and friends) to the

This commit introduces support for querying and updating the signal
quality of the established connection to the current accesspoint.
By setting the 'update_quality_interval' to a non-zero value specified

in use by the scan results.

Now, USB audio class devices become available in Sculpt, e.g., for vbox
passthrough, and are not automatically grabbed by the usb_hid class=3

driving the HID interface only from usb_hid while a usb_audio driver
controls the rest of the device.
This commit adds the firmware image for the AX200 device as found
in the Tuxedo Pulse 15 Gen1, the 9560 as found in the Starlite and
the for devices found in the T430/T530.
