Among other changes, this patch makes it possible to let Mesa render into
a user-provided buffer instead of the screen. This can be achieved with
the 'eglCreateWindowSurface()' function, which takes a buffer
description as third argument.
Fixes#974.
A timer session is now used instead of a jiffy counter. This way, libSDL
can use a time source that is not bound to the granularity our libc's
nanosleep implementation. Currently, the granularity of nanosleep is in
the order of 10 milliseconds, which is far to coarse for the use of
SDL-using applications such as DosBox.
Fixes#934.
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.
* Remove far too low default values from Nic::Connection constructor
* Extend lwip initialization function with desired TX/RX buffer sizes
* Add configuration possibility to libc_lwip_dhcp plugin to define
buffer sizes, like the following:
'<libc tx_buf_size="1M" tx_buf_size="1M"/>'
Fixes#892
By splitting Session_policy into two classes, we make it more flexible.
Originally, the constructor accepted solely an args string, which made it
unusable for situations where we already have extracted the session
label (e.g., stored in the session meta data of a server). Now, the
extraction of the label from the args string is performed by the new
Session_label class instead, which, in turn, can be passed to the
constructor of Session_policy.
This change causes a minor API change. The following code
Session_policy policy(session_args);
Must be turned into
Session_label label(session_args);
Session_policy policy(label);
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.
This patch adds support for iterating through a const list. This allows
users of lists to be more rigid with regard to constness. Furthermore,
the patch adds the function 'List::insert_at' for inserting an element
at a specified position. By adding this function, we can remove code
duplication in nitpicker.
With this patch, the 'not implemented' messages of the pthread function
stubs always get printed to the Genode log console instead of stdout.
Issue #815.
In fact, the sizes were the same the whole time, but by using
the same enum in both cases to instantiate the Packet_stream_tx
and Packet_stream_rx members of the e.g. RPC object, it allows
for more flexible generalization between e.g. source or, sink
objects, when programming event-driven, and implementing generic
handlers for their signals.
lwIP only supports the 'AF_INET' domain, but doesn't check the 'domain'
argument of the 'lwip_socket()' function.
This patch avoids an error message from lwIP when the Arora browser
tries to connect a socket of the 'AF_LOCAL' domain.
Fixes#732.
With this patch, the 'libc_lwip_nic_dhcp' plugin provides the DNS server
address acquired by lwIP via DHCP in the file '/etc/resolv.conf'.
This feature can be disabled from the config file:
<libc resolv="no" />
The static network interface configuration attributes are now also a part
of the '<libc>' config node:
<libc ip_addr="..." netmask="..." gateway="..." />
Fixes#731.
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.
Fixes#18
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.
Fixes#609
This patch extends the file-system interface with the ability to monitor
changes of files or directories. The new 'File_system::sigh' function
can be used to install a signal handler for an open node.
The 'ram_fs' server has been enhanced to support the new interface. So
any file or directory changes can now be observed by 'ram_fs' clients.
Fixes#607
Several users of the signal API used custom convenience classes to
invoke signal-handling functions on the reception of incoming signals.
The 'Signal_dispatcher' pattern turned out to be particularly useful. To
avoid the duplication of this code across the code base, this patch
adds the interface to 'base/signal.h'.
Furthermore, the patch changes the 'Signal::num()' return type from int
to unsigned because negative numbers are meaningless here.
Fixes#511
This patch reflects eventual allocation errors in a more specific way to
the caller of 'alloc_aligned', in particular out-of-metadata and
out-of-memory are considered as different conditions.
Related to issue #526.
The eglgears application depends on 'sqrt'. With the old tool chain,
this symbol was resolved through the dependencies of the 'gallium'
library. This does not work anymore for the new tool chain.
A similar issue arised for avplay, where we need to explicitly
state the av components in the LIBS declaration of the target.
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.
Make sure unlock is called when 'global_mutex' reaches zero count. Add verbose
variable in order to disable some output. Disable irritating 'Overflow' messages
in 'sys_mbox_post' and 'sys_mbox_try_post' per default. This may happen and is
not an error, since the ring buffer is full and will be emptied eventually.
Remove priority from genode_org run script.
Should fix#347
Use slab allocators for small object sizes, do it the usual way otherwise.
This patch is related to #363. Using this optimization may be a viable
alternative to switching to the FreeBSD's malloc implementation.
Use 'Nic::Packet_allocator', wait for acknowledgements if packet allocation
fails. Updated 'lwip.run' and 'genode_org.run' to support OMAP4 correctly. Use
memcpy to copy PBUFs
May resolve issue #347
The recently added 'Genode::Path' class makes it easy to create absolute
paths. With this patch the 'ffat_fs' server uses the 'Genode::Path' class
where possible instead of working with 'f_chdir()' and relative paths.
This also solves the problem reported in issue #355, which was caused by
storing a relative file name in the 'File' node.
Fixes#355.
With this patch, when a 'Packet_alloc_failed' exception occurs in the
'write()' function, the function waits for a packet acknowledgement and
the release of the packet and then tries the packet allocation again.
Fixes#348.
The 'fd_set' size calculation in the current version of the 'poll()'
function results in an amount which is smaller than the size of the
'fd_set' data type. With this patch the file descriptor sets get
allocated as plain stack variables.
Fixes#335.
This patch implements a service which provides the contents of a tar
archive via the 'File_system::Session' interface.
Configuration:
<config>
<archive name="tar_archive.tar" />
<policy label="label_of_client" root="/rootdir/for/client" />
</config>
Fixes#333.
Removes getpwent.c from build because the passwd facilities provided by
the FreeBSD libc will not be used anyway and add stub functions instead.
Now services which need these functions have to implement their own
(e.g. libc_noux).
libc_resolv is a {free,get}addrinfo() plugin, mainly for use with NOUX.
We prefix the original libc functions to with 'libc_' so there is no
symbol conflict with file_operations.cc.
In the current form, only PROT_READ is supported. This case is emulated
by copying the file content into new allocated backing store. Even
though the performance benefits of mmap-using code will not be
preserved, code that relies on mmap can be executed via the libc_noux
or libc_fs plugins, i.e. lightttpd.
As of lwip-1.4.x this is not needed anymore because lwip
now always creates a loopback device. This plug-in will
be removed in the future but for now keep it around so
we currently do not need to update the other targets that
depend on it.
Fixes#329.
The new version works fine but there is an issue with connect()
that needs the included patch:
There is no actual handling of EALREADY in lwip. It sets errno
to EALREADY when the connection was established. Unfortunatly this
is really bad because most programs expect to receive errno EISCONN
if the connection was successfully established. So this behaviour
breaks Qt4 and several noux/net packages (like lynx) because those
programs end up in an endless loop trying to connect via an already
connected socket. The longterm solution would be fixing the wrong
behaviour in lwip (there are already bug-reports on lwip's mailinglist)
but for now, it works well enough to simple change lwip's err_to_errno
table to set errno to EISCONN when the connection was established.
