This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).

The Kernel/API directory in general shouldn't include userspace code,
but structure definitions that both are shared between the Kernel and
userspace.
All users of the ioctl API obviously use LibC so LibC is the most common
and shared library for the affected programs.
Some keymaps will bind key presses with the alt modifier to characters
other than the unmodified one, in which case you couldn't activate the
alt shortcuts in the menu bar before.
We now ask the current keymap for the code point that is mapped to the
pressed (unmodified) key instead.
Instead of opening and reparsing WindowServer.ini at random occasions,
just keep the file open after loading it in serenity_main().
This avoids a bunch of unnecessary work, and also fixes an issue where
WindowManager::m_config might re-write stale values to disk.
This patch introduces error propagation to Gfx::SystemTheme to remove
instances of release_value_but_fixme_should_propagate_errors().
Userland applications that have been affected by this change have been
updated to utilise this propagation and as a result 4 such instances of
the aforementioned method have been removed.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
Before if the mouse acceleration was out of range the WindowServer would
crash, this could happen if the config had an out of range or non double
vaule.
Now that each HID device node is located in /dev/input/, and Display
Connector device nodes are in /dev/gpu/, we can simply just unveil those
directories instead of the entire /dev directory.
Now that the infrastructure of the Graphics subsystem is quite stable,
it is time to try to fix a long-standing problem, which is the lack of
locking on display connector devices. Reading and writing from multiple
processes to a framebuffer controlled by the display connector is not a
huge problem - it could be solved with POSIX locking.
The real problem is some program that will try to do ioctl operations on
a display connector without the WindowServer being aware of that which
can lead to very bad situations, for example - assuming a framebuffer is
encoded at a known resolution and certain display timings, but another
process changed the ModeSetting of the display connector, leading to
inconsistency on the properties of the current ModeSetting.
To solve this, there's a new "master" ioctl to take "ownership" and
another one to release that ownership of a display connector device. To
ensure we will not hold a Process object forever just because it has an
ownership over a display connector, we hold it with a weak reference,
and if the process is gone, someone else can take an ownership.
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
This will allow using the console tty and WindowServer regardless of
your kernel command line. Also this fixes a bug where, when booting in
text mode, the console was in graphical mode, and would not accept
input.
This will allow us to change between a couple of properties, for now
it's only Device and Virtual. (How about Remote :^) ) These get handled
by a different screen backend in the Screen.
I've attempted to handle the errors gracefully where it was clear how to
do so, and simple, but a lot of this was just adding
`release_value_but_fixme_should_propagate_errors()` in places.
With this change, System::foo() becomes Core::System::foo().
Since LibCore builds on other systems than SerenityOS, we now have to
make sure that wrappers work with just a standard C library underneath.
If a screen layout cannot be applied, instead of failing to start
WindowServer try to fall back to an auto-generated screen layout with
the devices that are detected.
Also, be a bit smarter about changing the current screen layout.
Instead of closing all framebuffers and bringing them back up, keep
what we can and only change resolution on those that we need to change
them on. To make this work we also need to move away from using an
array of structures to hold compositor related per-screen data to
attaching it to the Screen itself, which makes re-using a screen much
simpler.
This sets the stage so that DisplaySettings can configure the screen
layout and set various screen resolutions in one go. It also allows
for an easy "atomic" revert of the previous settings.
If there are any screens that are detached from other screens it would
not be possible to get to them using the mouse pointer. Also make sure
that none of the screens are overlapping.
This allows WindowServer to use multiple framebuffer devices and
compose the desktop with any arbitrary layout. Currently, it is assumed
that it is configured contiguous and non-overlapping, but this should
eventually be enforced.
To make rendering efficient, each window now also tracks on which
screens it needs to be rendered. This way we don't have to iterate all
the windows for each screen but instead use the same rendering loop and
then only render to the screen (or screens) that the window actually
uses.
Changes to the system font settings are now persisted in /etc.
Note that you still need to restart the system for changes to fully
apply in all programs.
Instead of everybody getting their system fonts from Gfx::FontDatabase
(where it's all hardcoded), they now get it from WindowServer.
These are then plumbed into the usual Gfx::FontDatabase places so that
the old default_font() and default_fixed_width_font() APIs keep working.
Since applications using Core::EventLoop no longer need to create a
socket in /tmp/rpc/, and also don't need to listen for incoming
connections on this socket, we can remove a whole bunch of pledges!

(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
Window icons in Taskbar were previously received in WM events with
shbuf ID's. Now that Gfx::ShareableBitmap is backed by anonymous files,
we can easily switch to using those.
Almost all logic stays in "logical" (unscaled coordinates), which
means the patch is small and things like DnD, window moving and
resizing, menu handling, menuapplets, etc all work without changes.
Screen knows about phyiscal coordinates and mouse handling internally is
in physical coordinates (so that two 1 pixel movements in succession can
translate to one 1 logical coordinate mouse movement -- only a single
event is sent in this case, on the 2nd moved pixel).
Compositor also knows about physical pixels for its backbuffers. This is
a temporary state -- in a follow-up, I'll try to let Bitmaps know about
their intrinsic scale, then Compositor won't have to know about pixels
any longer. Most of Compositor's logic stays in view units, just
blitting to and from back buffers and the cursor save buffer has to be
done in pixels. The back buffer Painter gets a scale applied which
transparently handles all drawing. (But since the backbuffer and cursor
save buffer are also HighDPI, they currently need to be drawn using a
hack temporary unscaled Painter object. This will also go away once
Bitmaps know about their intrinsic scale.)
With this, editing WindowServer.ini to say
Width=800
Height=600
ScaleFactor=2
and booting brings up a fully-functional HighDPI UI.
(Except for minimizing windows, which will crash the window server
until #4932 is merged. And I didn't test the window switcher since the
win-tab shortcut doesn't work on my system.) It's all pixel-scaled,
but it looks pretty decent :^)
This patch replaces the use of shbufs for GUI::Window backing stores
with the new anonymous files mechanism.
Backing bitmaps are now built on memory allocated with anon_create().
They are passed across the IPC socket as IPC::File. This means that
WindowServer now pledges "recvfd" and graphical clients need to pledge
"sendfd" to work.
To support the cached bitmap swapping optimization on the WindowServer
side, each backing store is assigned an incrementing serial number on
the client side. (This allows us to re-use an already mapped file.)
