This commit removes most of the default launchers, which are now
superseded by the interactive component addition feature of the '+'
menu.
We keep the chroot components because we cannot easily create chroot
instances interactively yet.
The usb_devices_rom is still needed because its configuration is meant
to be edited at runtime.
It also adds a 'themed_wm' launcher to make the initial sculpt
experience easier. For knowledgeable users, the index contains all
ingredients needed to build a multi-component window manager manually.
This commit turns the '+' menu into a tool for the following tasks:
- Selecting and downloading of depot index files
- Browsing of the hierarchical depot index files
- Installation of packages found in the index files
- Interactive routing configuration of a selected package
- Deployment of configured component
Sculpt used to restrict the size of leitzentrale windows to the screen
area that is not obstructed by the menu and log. This is useful for the
runtime view and the inspect window. However, the menu should be allowed
to use the entire screen because it overlays the other content.
Before this patch, the menu wouldn't be displayed completely on small
resolutions (e.g., 1024x768 when using the VESA driver) because the log
at the bottom of the screen imposed the size constraint on the menu.
With the patch, the menu is able to overlay the log window.
This patch enhances the runtime view such that not only immediate
dependencies but also all transitive dependencies of the selected
component are displayed. This way, the graph nicely reveals the
trusted computing base of the selection.
Instead of parsing the runtime's configuration each time when generating
the graph dialog (e.g., when changing the hover state), extract the
relevant information only on configuration changes.
The runtime view, launcher query, and depot query increase the
complexity of the graph without providing a tangible value to the user.
This patch omits those components from the runtime view to make the
graph less confusing.
Append "..." to button labels whenever the button does not perform an
immediate action but merely toggles user-interface elements. This
tells the user that the button can be pressed without risk.
With this commit, the 'installation' input of the depot-download
subsystem accepts <index> nodes in addition to <archive> nodes. Each
index node refers to one index file specified via the 'path' attribute.
This commit also improves the tracking of failure states. Once an
installation job failed (due to a download of verification error),
it won't get re-scheduled. In the past, such failure states were not kept
across subsequent import iterations, which could result in infinite
re-attempts when an installation contained archives from multiple users.
The the progress of the download process is now reflected by the
"progress" attribute on the download manager's state report, which
allows the final report to contain the list of installed/failed archives
along with the overall progress/completed state. The detection of the
latter is important for the sculpt manager for reattempting the
deployment of the completed packages.
The patch enhances the depot_download.run script to stress the new
abilities. In particular, the scenario downloads a mix of index files
(one present, one missing) and archives, from two different depot users
(genodelabs and nfeske).
Issue #3172
The input for the pkg index is located at gems/run/sculpt/index.
The sculpt.run script uses this input for generating the depot index
file at depot/<user>/index/<version>.
The tool/depot/publish tool support arguments of the form
<user>/index/<version> where <version> corresponds to the Sculpt
version.
Issue #3172
This prevents the situation where the user has booted the system, has
not yet selected a storage target to "use" for Sculpt, yet clicks on the
'+' menu. Such clicks show no immediate response because Sculpt cannot
know where to deploy the selected package. But since the user is not
guided towards resolving this prerequisite, it's better to not present
the menu in the first place. The '+' appears as soon as a storage target
is selected for "use".
This error message may occur during the startup of a multi-component
application when the very first dialog is generated just after the menu
view is ready. It is not an error.
This commit adds the following styles:
button/enter - for entering a sub menu
button/back - for returning from a sub menu
button/radio - for picking one item of a list
button/checkbox - for making a selection
frame/transient - for temporary GUI elements
This message is diagnostic, but also occurs in legitimate situations
such as the wm in Sculpt's Leitzentrale where the focus is managed
completely outside the wm.
The zynq nic_drv also depends on hw, we therefore adapted the folder
structure for clarity. Also renamed the binary to 'zynq_nic_drv' to
prevent conflicts and to allow removing the cadence_gem spec.
Issue #3179
This patch simplifies the propagation of pointer shapes from
window-manager clients to the pointer. The "shape" report is routed to
the wm server, which, in turn, reports it to the pointer. This way, the
pointer can easily correlate the label of the application's "shape"
report with the label of the application's Nitpicker session. The
formerly used manual rewriting of the "shape" label is not needed
anymore.
Since the wm server provides a "Report" service now, its <provides>
declaration must cover "Report" in addition to "Nitpicker" to avoid
runtime error messages. Vice versa, the wm is now expected to request
"shape" reports, which should be routed to the pointer (using the
'label_last' routing attribute).
Fixes#3165
Refactor the graphical terminal server to internally represent
characters as 16-bit codepoints and handle the duplex terminal stream as
UTF-8.
- Make the Codepoint class printable to the Output interface
- Decode data received at the Terminal session from UTF-8 to a 16-bit
character
- Pass 16-bit characters through terminal decoder and char-cell arrays
- Send Unicode through terminal session in a burst of UTF-8 bytes
Fix#3148
The minimal-footprint Ada runtime for implementing library-like
functionality in SPARK is now called "spark" runtime.
The full Ada runtime for entire components written in Ada and using the
libc as glue to the underlying system will move to the world repository
as "ada" runtime.
Issue #3144
The 'run_genode_until' procedure only called 'run_power_on' to reset
the target machine. That works will with the softreset module, which
is used by all x86-based test system but falls short regarding ARM
boards. The way those boards are connected requires turning the power
off and on for a complete cycle.
The situation where a 'Session_policy' is constructed for a label with
no matching policy is in almost all cases a configuration problem.
A diagnostic message eases pin-pointing such mistaks. By adding the
message to the 'Session_policy', servers don't need to manually handle
the exception to provide diagnostic information. This simplifies the
server code in many components.
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
After a certain number of tests, presumably some resource in core is exceeded
and loading the successive test fails. This quickfix looks out for the
characteristic Core error and then reboots to avoid that all successive tests
are marked as failed.
Since the timer and timeout handling is part of the base library (the
dynamic linker), it belongs to the base repository.
Besides moving the timer and its related infrastructure (alarm, timeout
libs, tests) to the base repository, this patch also moves the timer
from the 'drivers' subdirectory directly to 'src' and disamibuates the
timer's build locations for the various kernels. Otherwise the different
timer implementations could interfere with each other when using one
build directory with multiple kernels.
Note that this patch changes the include paths for the former os/timer,
os/alarm.h, os/duration.h, and os/timed_semaphore.h to base/.
Issue #3101
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 ensures that the depot_autopilot.run script, when exiting, always prints
a result overview of the so far available test results, except the Depot
Autopilot component has managed to print the result overview up to this point.
Unequal numbers of double quotes let the XML parser of init fail,
therefore replace all double quotes when transfering previous
results after a reboot.
Ref #3027
The number of tests to run is the number of test package-archives minus the
the those that are skipped for the given platform. The number is printed
directly after checking if the given platform is supported by the run script.
It helps the surrounding test infrastructure to ensure that, for instance, a
result graph always reflects the same total number of tests, even though there
is a sporadic problem with booting the platform.
The test for python requires x86 to be built. Therefore, there is no test
binary available when trying to execute that test on ARM with depot_autopilot.
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.
The commented-out <start> nodes are prone to become inconsistent with
the launchers. Hence, this patch removes them. Start nodes should better
be added by the '+' menu, at least initially.
Furthermore, the patch directs requests for the vfs.lib.so ROM to core's
ROM service to reduce the impact of low-level ABI changes (i.e., the
packet-stream layout) on existing vfs/libc-based packages.
The recall file system is a place where components can remember state.
E.g., to allow the window layouter to recall the window layout of the
previous session.
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 commit moves the window layouter and window decorator into
dedicated packages that can now be combined with the "wm" server at
runtime and restarted/reconfigured/swapped-out independently.
To use the window manager, one must start the 'wm', 'window_layouter',
and one of the 'motif_decorator' or 'themed_decorator' subsystems.
Fixes#3024
When doing the libc_getenv test on autopilot+foc+x86 and one of the
subsequent tests crashes the system so it gets rebooted by the run
script, the system doesn't come up again. It gets stuck after core
initialization.
Issue #3027
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
On some machines, both the AHCI and NVMe drivers are started within the
[drivers -> dynamic] subsystem. This ultimately exhausted the RAM quota
of this subsystem.
Issue #2987
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 PS/2 driver retries to get mouse-reset results for 700 ms, sleeping
after each attempt for 10 ms. So, the driver needs a Timer session now.
Fixes#2713
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
This patch addresses two problems: By guarding the buffer allocation in
a nested class, an exception in the body of the 'File_content'
constructor reverts the allocation. Second, if the file has no content
no allocation should be performed. The previous version wrongly passed
a size of zero to the allocator in this case.
The 'Report' route was missing. The commit also removes superfluous
routing rules for IO_PORT, IRQ, and IO_MEM that are captured by the
subsequenting wildcard anyway.
Issue #2909
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
The ram plugin to the VFS must send notifications to watch handles on
files when they are removed. This brings the VFS server to parity with
the ram_fs server for the sake of notifications.
Move run/fs_report to gems and use the vfs server and the vfs init
plugin in the test.
Ref #2902
This patch removes the detection of statically linked executables from
the base framework. It thereby fixes the corner cases encountered with
Sculpt when obtaining the binaries of the runtime from the depot_rom
service that is hosted within the runtime.
Statically linked binaries and hybrid Linux/Genode (lx_hybrid) binaries
can still be started by relabeling the ROM-session route of "ld.lib.so"
to the binary name, pretending that the binary is the dynamic linker.
This can be achieved via init's label rewriting mechanism:
<route>
<service name="ROM" unscoped_label="ld.lib.so">
<parent label="test-platform"/> </service>
</route>
However, as this is quite cryptic and would need to be applied for all
lx_hybrid components, the patch adds a shortcut to init's configuration.
One can simply add the 'ld="no"' attribute to the <start> node of the
corresponding component:
<start name="test-platform" ld="no"/>
Fixes#2866
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
This patch makes the run script compatible with the disk-image backend
of the run tool. Since this backend attaches the boot image as AHCI
disk 0, we have to supply our custom disk image as AHCI 1.
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.
This commit is a follow-up to "nit_fb: allow screen-relative
initial_width/height". With it, the nit_fb window created via the
launchpad can be interactively resized.
Also remove 'requires_installation_of', while also checking sbin
directories in 'have_installed'. The run scripts have been adjusted
accordingly.
Fixes#2853
The top-level Sculpt configuration is routing ROM requests for chargen
files from the input_filter to the parent, and this prevents new chargen
files to specified, for instance the German or Workman layout. Route ROM
requests with a combination of label_prefix and label_suffix patterns to
the config_fs_rom component, allowing the input_filter to be dynamically
reconfigurable.
Fix#2872
The libc will now use the file given by the 'nameserver_file' attribute
to get the DNS nameserver address instead of reading '/etc/resolv.conf'.
It defaults to '/socket/nameserver' which is the common location when
using the lxip VFS plugin. As a constraint the libc will read the first
line and expects the nameserver address without any keywords in front of
it.
Fixes#2861.
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.
