This commit patches the DDE Linux contrib code to remove IRQ coalescing
from the R8169 driver that for reason not yet known leads to interrupts
occurring irregularly.
Issue #5356.
This commit does away with controlling the join-intent via an attribute
but couples it to the existence of a '<network>' node. With this change
all '<network>' nodes within the configuration are always
unconditionally considered for joining.
Issue #5356.
This commit splits the intent to scan for a hidden network and the
actual configuration of a network itself by introducing
'<explicit_scan>' nodes. Like the '<network>' node these also feature
a 'ssid' attribute and each node is incorporated into the SCAN request
if its SSID is valid.
For more information please consult 'repos/src/driver/wifi/README'.
Issue #5356.
With the recent Wifi::Manager changes setting an invalid SSID will
lead to a diagnostic warning. Since disconnecting is handled by
removing the existent '<network>' there is no reason to generate
an invalid node in the first place.
Issue #5356.
Inform all GUI clients of a new version of the mode information whenever
the nitpicker configuration is modified. This is needed because changed
capture policies influence the panorama observable by the GUI clients.
Issue #5352
Fixes the following misbehavior: If a global key is pressed (e.g., Caps
Lock in Sculpt) and the mouse is clicked before release, the global-keys
handler receives the global-key press but no further events of the
sequence, especially *no Caps-Lock release*.
A more reasonable fix may address the "else branch" that deletes the
_input_receiver in case of mouse events without a hovered client too,
which is beyond the narrow scope of this fix.
This patch implements the following policy for applications requesting
exclusive input (relative motion): The pointer is grabbed as soon as the
user clicks inside the application window. It is forcibly ungrabbed on
any window-focus change or when tapping the KEY_SCREEN. An application
can always enable (transient) exclusive input during a key sequence,
e.g., when dragging the mouse while holding the mouse button. Transient
exclusive input is revoked when releasing the last button/key.
Fixes#5355
While the focused client has enabled exclusive input, nitpicker does
not translate relative motion to absolute motion but routes relative
motion directly to the client. Additionally, the pointer origin is
forcibly moved to a position outside the screen boundaries, making the
pointer invisible.
Issue #5355
The recent changes of the GUI stack (proper accounting of cap and RAM
resources by the window manager and nitpicker, output buffered at the
server side) require quota adjustments at various GUI-related places.
Issue #5356
This interface allows a GUI client to express the intent to exclusively
observe relative motion events while locking the absolute pointer
position. This patch merely extends the interface without implementing
it.
As this change touches os/include/input/component.h, it moves the
manage/dissolve operations into the class, ensuring the call of
dissolve at destruction time.
Issue #5355
In multi-monitor scenarios, the mode is no longer a single rectangular
area but a panorama with potentially many captured rectangles. This
patch replaces the former 'mode' and 'mode_sigh' RPC by a new 'info'
ROM accessor.
Issue #5353
Capture clients used to always capture the view stack at the origin of
the coordinate system. So each capture client obtained a mirror of the
same picture. This patch allows for the placement of capture clients on
larger panorama using Genode's usual label-based policy-selection
approach. Thereby, each monitor in multi-monitor scenario can display a
different portion of the panorama.
The patch takes special care to always keep the pointer in a visible
position. The pointer cannot be moved to any area that is not captured.
Should the only capture client displaying the pointer disappear, the
pointer is warped to the center of (any) remaining capture client.
Fixes#5352
The operators == and != make the 'Rect' consistent with 'Point' and
'Area'. The patch also adds the 'Rect::clamp' method, which is generally
useful for sanitizing input.
Issue #5352
The new Framebuffer::Session::sync_source RPC function allows for the
selection of a specific source of sync signals in the presence of
multiple capture clients at the GUI server.
This patch contains only the extension of the interface. The information
is not evaluated by the GUI server yet.
Issue #5347
This patch adds central and safe utilities for accessing the distinct
parts of the virtual framebuffer to relieve clients from pointer
calculations.
Issue #5351
This patch eases the vertical organization of multiple surfaces within
one larger surface, which is the case when keeping front/back buffers
within one compounding GUI buffer.
Issue #5351
The new bytes() accessor returns a Byte_range_pointer as an alternative
to the 'local_addr' for accessing the content of the dataspace. This
facilitates the safe practice of passing (and validating) the buffer
bounds along with the pointer.
Issue #5351
Propagate the want of an alpha channel as attribute of Framebuffer::Mode
instead of passing this property as a separate bool argument.
This clears the way for adding useful accessors for pixel/alpha/input
surfaces to the Mode type as a subsequent step.
Issue #5351
This patch ensures that the displayed pixel buffer is always consistent
by applying intermediate drawing steps on an invisible back buffer,
which is blitted to the front buffer by the GUI server.
Note that the addition of the back buffer increases the decorator's RAM
demand by 4*w*h (4 bytes per pixel) whereas w and h are the screen size.
Issue #5350
By enhancing the Framebuffer::Session interface by the new RPC functions
'blit' and 'panning', GUI clients become able to attain tearing-free
output. Two modes of operations are supported.
1. Atomic back-to-front blitting
GUI clients that partially update their user interface like regular
application dialogs, can now implement double buffering by placing
both the back buffer and front buffer within the GUI session's
framebuffer and configuring a view that shows only the front buffer.
The 'blit' operation allows the client to atomically flush pixels
from the back buffer to the front buffer.
2. Atomic buffer flipping
GUI clients that always update all pixels like a media player or
a game can now use the 'panning' feature to atomically redirect the
displayed pixels to a different portion of the GUI session's virtual
frame buffer. The virtual framebuffer always contains two frames,
the displayed one and the next one. Once the next frame is complete,
the client changes the panning position to the portion containing
the next frame.
Issue #5350
Call lx_emul_setup arch after kmem_cache_init, because
unflatten_device_tree requires 'memblock_alloc' which does not work
when using native slub.c/memblock.c on ARM platforms.
issue #5264
Limit the use of Reg_list::for_each that caches a next pointer
of its items to allow destruction of items in its lambda body.
Instead provide an Reg_list::apply function in addition, which
takes a condition lambda to find the matching item, and a lambda
processed on it. In most use-cases where for_each was used, only
one item was searched for. Here we can use apply now., without
the need for a cached pointer, nor too many iterations.
Fixesgenodelabs/genode#5349
Unless nitpicker is used in 'request_framebuffer' mode, it no longer
depends on a periodic timer but merely acts as a broker between capture
clients and GUI clients. Sync signals as delivered to GUI clients are
now wired to Capture::Session::capture_at calls. So the display driver
defines the occurrence of those signals.
Note that sync signals are only delivered while a driver actively calls
'capture_at'. If a driver stops capturing, GUI clients no longer receive
any sync signal. This is a change from the previous situation where GUI
clients could depend on the periodicity of sync signals.
Issue #5347
This patch changes the precision of the configuration's motion attribute
to a multiple of 10 ms (centi-seconds). The previous version used steps
of 20 ms. Hence, one needs to adjust existing configurations by doubling
the motion attribute values of the themed decorator.
Issue #5347
This patch removes the use of sync signals as time source. The animation
phase is now timed using a timer connection as tick source while sync
signals are used for scheduling the redraws.
Issue #5347
- touch all memory before time measurements, to reduce lazy paging jitter
- diff of 100us between 2 memset runs are now considered a failure (before 10us)
- add refrence measurements of same region size which is not write-combined
- make the output easier parse able of write-combined test
Fixes#5342
With this change, a client (i.e., display driver) can register
a wakeup signal handler to be notified on the arrival of new data to
capture. The signal is delivered only when the client has stopped
capturing. The client propagates this condition to the server using
the new 'capture_stopped' RPC call.
This change in principle enables a display driver to suspend its
periodic mode of operation after a few frames without capturing any
new data. As the first driver, the fb_sdl driver has been adapted to
the new protocol. This change not only eliminates the driver's CPU
load when idle, it also reduces the latency of sporadic output
because the response to such GUI updates is no longer bound by a
fixed periodic interval.
Issue #5344
This patch is a preparatory step for relaxing the strictly periodic
operation of fb_sdl. With the new design, the SDL event loop can block
for events while Genode's main entrypoint stays receptive for I/O.
The main entrypoint can interact with the SDL thread by injecting
SDL user events.
The patch also replaces the full-screen clearing and update of the
SDL window by an update of the captured bounding box only. This reduces
the CPU load of fb_sdl when idle. When updating a small part of the
screen (e.g., when moving the mouse only), the load is still rather
heavy though.
Issue #5344
This patch enhances the Capture::Connection::Screen such that the
bounding box of the affected pixels can be tracked by the caller,
which can use this information to adjust its behavior to the
activity/inactivity of the capture server.
Issue #5344
This patch adds the physical screen size as argument to the
Capture::Session::buffer RPC function, which allows drivers to
propagate DPI information to the GUI server. While changing the
the interface, the patch replaces the former use of C++ exceptions
by a result type. The 'Buffer_result' is handled transparently by the
Capture::Connection. The client.h code is now integrated in
connection.h.
Issue #5344
This commit streamlines the interaction between the Wifi::Manager
and the wpa_supplicant's CTRL interface.
As user-facing changes it alters some default settings and introduces
new features:
* Every configured network now needs to explicitly have its
'auto_connect' (to be considered an option for joining) attribute
set to 'true' whereas this was previously the default value if the
attribute was not set at all.
* The 'log_level' attribute is added and configures the supplicant's
verbosity. Valid values correspond to levels used by the supplicant
and are as follows 'excessive', 'msgdump', 'debug', 'info', 'warning'
and 'error'. The default value is 'error' and configures the least
amount of verbosity.
* The 'bgscan' attribute may be used to configure the way the
supplicant performs background-scanning to steer or rather optimize
roaming decision within the same network. The default value is set
to 'simple:30:-70:600'. It can be disabled by specifying an empty
value, e.g. 'bgscan=""'.
* The 'verbose_state' attribute was removed alltogether and similar
functionality is now coverted by 'verbose' attribute.
Implementation-wise the internals changed significantly and are
outlined in the following paragraphs.
Formerly the interaction between the manager and the supplicant
was handled in an apparent way where the internal state of each
interaction was in plain sight. This made the flow cumbersome to
follow and therefor each interaction is now confined to its own
'Action' object that encapsulates the ping-pong of commands and
responses between the manager and the supplicant. All actions are
processed in an sequential way and thus there is no longer any
need to defer pending actions depending on the interal state of
the current interaction. Configuration changes as well as events
issued by the supplicant where new actions can be created are
handled in this fashion. Of note are both signal-handlers,
'_handle_cmds' and '_handle_events' respectively.
The state report, which provides the information about the current
state of connectivity to a given wireless network, was dealt with
in the same vein and its handling was spread across the manager
implementation. Again, to make it easier to follow, the generation
of the state report is now purely driven by the 'Join_state' object.
This object encapsulates the state of connectivity and is normally
updated by events issued from the supplicant (see '_handle_events').
It is also incorporated when handling command responses (see
'_handle_cmds').
Handling of timed-actions, like scan and signal quality
update requests, was done by setting a timeout at the Timer session
directly and thus only one timed-action could be pending at any time.
This excluded dealing with timed-actions like connected-scanning
and signal quality polling concurrently. This was changed and now
a One_shot_timeout is used to programm each concurrent timed-action.
For implementing the communication channel for the CTRL interface the
manager and supplicant use a shared memory buffer, the Msg_buffer.
Since the CTRL interface for Genode was implemented using C, some
shenanigans were performed to access the memory buffer. Now the
CTRL interface implementation uses C++ and only exports the functions
required by the supplicant as C. This simplifies the usage of the
Msg_buffer and allows for removing the global functions needed for
synchronizing the Msg_buffer access as those are now part of the
object itself via the 'Notify_interface'.
Fixes#5341.
The 'convert_errno_from_linux' function was already used internally to
convert the Linux errno values to the matching FreeBSD libc ones when
calling socket functions.
It will now also be used to convert the error values included in
netlink messages as those, naturally, also correspond to the Linux
ones.
Issue #5341.
When starting testnit with the wm, the child views briefly appear at a
position relative to the top-left corner of the screen until the
top-level view has been positioned by the layouter. This patch keeps
child views invisible until their respective parent views are
positioned.
When restacking a top-level view, execute the top-level restacking
before updating the child views. Otherwise, child views may wrongly
refer to the old stacking position of the top-level view.

Use Genode namespace, indicate 'Main' members as being private,

use Id_space for Window_registry, replace lookup by with pattern.
This is a follow-up commit to "gui_session: manage view ID at the client
side", which missed to invalidate the neighbor view of a window but
instead wrongly assigned the (now always valid) view ID 0 as neighbor.
In situations where a window disappears and re-appears (e.g., repeatedly
launching testnit in the wm.run scenario), the new window could not
always be topped.

Issue #5339
With this patch, the wm accounts RAM and caps consumed on behalf of its
clients to the respective client's session quota instead of paying out
of its own pocket. This should make the wm resilient against resource
exhaustion and lowers the quota requirements.
Issue #5340
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.

It also adds the 'stop_on_failure' attribute that instructs
