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.
This commit prefixes the Play sessions of the audio driver so that
these can be matched differently in the 'record_play_mixer' config.
The same could be archived with re-labling but naming the sessions
differently at the source prevents accidental mis-configuration.
Issue #5167.
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.

Executing a clflush operation on MMIO memory freezes embedded
platforms such as the Celeron N3450 used on the ZimaBlade. Looking into
the current linux code confirms that clflush is only used for ppgtt
entries and not on MMIO memory.
Fixes#5176
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
Because all operations in lxip are non-blocking, return
WRITE_ERR_WOULD_BLOCK for data writes as done by read.
Note: This was not the case in the old plugin because 'write' was blocking
operation there.

These generated dummies slipped in when the commit
'pc_linux: enable gpio, audio' got merged and mainly concern old devices
from the 6xxx series.
The functions are normally guarded via 'CONFIG_IWLWIFI_LEDS' but due to
the olddefconfig step when generating our pc_linux config using
LX_DISABLE has no effect.
Issue #5066.
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
Rarely. it might happen that events got received shortly before the complete
set of relevant USB devices got recognized. Filter more output in test metric
to stay robust.
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.

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.
