f82e1a7092 nitpicker: Late allocation of virtual framebuffer
This patch changes the interface of Nitpicker to support dynamically
dimensioned virtual frame buffers. This solves two problems:

First, it enables a client to create a connection to nitpicker without
donating much session quota in advance. The old interface required each
screen-size-dependent client to donate as much memory as needed to
allocate a screen-sized virtual framebuffer. For clients that are
interested int the screen size but cover just a small portion of the
screen (e.g., a banner, a menu, an applet that sits in the screen
corner), this overprovisioning is painful. The new interface allows such
clients to upgrade the session quota for an existing session as needed.

Second, because each nitpicker session used to have a virtual frame
buffer with a fixed size over the lifetime of the session, a client that
wanted to implement a variable-sized window had to either vastly
overprovide resources (by opening a session as large as the screen just
in order to be prepared for the worst case of a maximized window), or it
had to replace the session by a new one (thereby discarding the stacking
order of the old views) each time the window changes its dimensions. The
new interface accommodates such clients much better.

29eeedf064 launchpad: Update config syntax, remove defaults
This patch updates the launchpad config to use XML attributes and
removes the built-in default configuration (which is only meaningful
for demo.run anyway).

8243329ad4 os: Move Genode::Config into 'config' library
Originally, the convenience utility for accessing a process
configuration came in the form of a header file. But this causes
aliasing problems if multiple compilation units access the config while
the configuration gets dynamically updated. Moving the implementation of
the accessor to the singleton object into a library solves those
problems.

314d5c0975 liquid_fb: dynamic reconfiguration support
With this patch, 'liquid_framebuffer' can be reconfigured at runtime.
The configuration arguments are now provided as XML attributes, matching
those for 'nit_fb'. Furthermore, two new configuration options are added:

<config ...
  resize_handle="off" - show/hide a resize handle widget in the lower
                        right window corner
  decoration="on"     - show/hide window decoration
                        (title bar and borders)
/>

57b0c4dd52 demo: Avoid debug message in demo/src/lib/mini_c
The "strncpy - not implemented" message appeared on the use of libpng.
Even though it did not cause trouble, spilling the log with such
easy-to-fix issues should better be avoided.

fae63f4fa9 Merge base libraries into a single library
This patch simplifies the way of how Genode's base libraries are
organized. Originally, the base API was implemented in the form of many
small libraries such as 'thread', 'env', 'server', etc. Most of them
used to consist of only a small number of files. Because those libraries
are incorporated in any build, the checking of their inter-dependencies
made the build process more verbose than desired. Also, the number of
libraries and their roles (core only, non-core only, shared by both core
and non-core) were not easy to capture.

Hereby, the base libraries have been reduced to the following few
libraries:

- startup.mk contains the startup code for normal Genode processes.
  On some platform, core is able to use the library as well.
- base-common.mk contains the parts of the base library that are
  identical by core and non-core processes.
- base.mk contains the complete base API implementation for non-core
  processes

Consequently, the 'LIBS' declaration in 'target.mk' files becomes
simpler as well. In the most simple case, only the 'base' library must
be mentioned.

cb225a1216 Adaptation to Timer::Session change 2013-02-14 13:23:33 +01:00

3049c1004c Turn 'Timer::Session' into asynchronous interface
The 'Timer::Session::msleep' function is one of the last occurrences of
long-blocking RPC calls. Synchronous blocking RPC interfaces turned out
to be constant source of trouble and code complexity. I.e., a timer
client that also wants to respond to non-timer events was forced to be a
multi-threaded process. This patch replaces the blocking 'msleep' call
by a mechanism for programming timeouts and receiving wakeup signals in
an asynchronous fashion. Thereby signals originating from the timer can
be handled along with signals from other signal sources by a single
thread.

The changed interface has been tested on Linux, L4/Fiasco, OKL4, NOVA,
L4ka::Pistachio, Codezero, Fiasco.OC, and hw_pbxa9. Furthermore, this
patch adds the timer test to autopilot.

47cc2f8590 vancouver: run script for booting Linux VMs
The setup now uses nitpicker and nit_fb to display several instances of
vancouver. The guest OS binaries must be supplied in the
'<build-dir>/bin' directory manually.

Furthermore, the patch lets launchpad pass Block, Nic, and Rtc to the
parent.

af66043b79 New Input::Event::FOCUS, rename keycode to code
This patch introduces keyboard-focus events to the 'Input::Event' class
and changes the name 'Input::Event::keycode' to 'code'. The 'code'
represents the key code for PRESS/RELEASE events, and the focus state
for FOCUS events (0 - unfocused, 1 - focused).

Furthermore, nitpicker has been adapted to deliver FOCUS events to its
clients.

b45242c50f Add chroot support to core
Since the recent move of the process creation into core, the original chroot trampoline
mechanism implemented in 'os/src/app/chroot' does not work anymore. A
process could simply escape the chroot environment by spawning a new
process via core's PD service. Therefore, this patch moves the chroot
support into core. So the chroot policy becomes mandatory part of the
process creation.  For each process created by core, core checks for
'root' argument of the PD session. If a path is present, core takes the
precautions needed to execute the new process in the specified chroot
environment.

This conceptual change implies minor changes with respect to the Genode
API and the configuration of the init process. The API changes are the
enhancement of the 'Genode::Child' and 'Genode::Process' constructors to
take the root path as argument. Init supports the specification of a
chroot per process by specifying the new 'root' attribute to the
'<start>' node of the process. In line with these changes, the
'Loader::Session::start' function has been enhanced with the additional
(optional) root argument.

64245dde3a Avoid superfluous compiler warnings
GCC warns about uninitialized local variables in cases where no
initialization is needed, in particular in the overloads of the
'Capability::call()' function. Prior this patch, we dealt with those
warnings by using an (unreliable) GCC pragma or by disabling the
particular warning altogether (which is a bad idea). This patch removes
the superfluous warnings by telling the compiler that the variable in
question is volatile.

9399800c65 Limit width of launchpad window
Without limiting the size of the launchpad window, the application
prepares itself for the worst case, taking the screen size as maximum
size to allocate its pixel buffers. Limiting the maximum width to a
reasonable value reduces the memory footprint.

c35207d9c4 Add mode_sigh and release to framebuffer::Session
The 'mode_sigh' function allows the client to receive notifications
about server-side display-mode changes. To respond to such a signal, the
client can use the new 'release' function, which acknowledges the mode
change at the server and frees the original framebuffer dataspace. Via a
subsequent call of 'dataspace', a framebuffer dataspace corresponding to
the new mode can be obtained. Related to issue #11.

9e3ecade16 Replace Framebuffer::info by Framebuffer::mode
As a preliminary step for working on issue #11, this patch revisits the
'Framebuffer::info' RPC call. Instead of using C-style out paramters,
the new 'mode()' RPC call returns the mode information as an object of
type 'Mode'. Consequently, mode-specific functions such as
'bytes_per_pixel' have been moved to the new 'Framebuffer::Mode' class.
