Instead of cowboy-calling the VESA BIOS in the bootloader, find the emulator
VGA adapter by scanning the PCI bus. Then set up the desired video mode by
sending device commands.
Clicking the button generates a WindowCloseRequest event which the client app
then has to deal with. The default behavior for GWindow is to close() itself.
I also added a flag, GWindow::should_exit_event_loop_on_close() which does
what it sounds like it does.
This patch exposed some bugs in GWindow and GWidget teardown.
The current strategy is simply to nuke all physical pages and force
reload them from disk. This is obviously not optimal and should eventually
be optimized. It should be fairly straightforward.
Font now uses the same in-memory format as the font files we have on disk.
This allows us to simply mmap() the font files and not use any additional
memory for them. Very cool! :^)
Hacking on this exposed a bug in file-backed VMObjects where the first client
to instantiate a VMObject for a specific inode also got to decide its size.
Since file-backed VMObjects always have the same size as the underlying file,
this made no sense, so I removed the ability to even set a size in that case.
Also use an enum for the rather-confusing return value in dispatch_signal().
I will go through the rest of the signals and set them up with the
appropriate default dispositions at some other point.
It automagically computes %CPU usage based on the number of times a process
has been scheduled between samples. The colonel task is used as idle timer.
This is pretty cool. :^)
Now the filesystem is generated on-the-fly instead of manually adding and
removing inodes as processes spawn and die.
The code is convoluted and bloated as I wrote it while sleepless. However,
it's still vastly better than the old ProcFS, so I'm committing it.
I also added /proc/PID/fd/N symlinks for each of a process's open fd's.
Turns out I had confused myself about the situation. Just because a page
has been paged in by another process doesn't mean that the *current*
process's page directory has the present bit set! D'oh. :^)
This exposed a serious race condition in page_in_from_inode().
Reordered the logic and added a paging lock to VMObject.
Now, only one process can page in from a VMObject at a time.
There are definitely ways to optimize this, for instance by making
the locking be per-page instead. It's not something that I'm going
to worry about right now though.
GObjects can now register a timer with the GEventLoop. This will eventually
cause GTimerEvents to be dispatched to the GObject.
This needed a few supporting changes in the kernel:
- The PIT now ticks 1000 times/sec.
- select() now supports an arbitrary timeout.
- gettimeofday() now returns something in the tv_usec field.
With these changes, the clock window in guitest2 finally ticks on its own.
Use this to fix a use-after-free in ~GraphicsBitmap(). We'd hit this when
the WindowServer was doing a deferred destruction of a WSWindow whose
backing store referred to a now-reaped Process.
FileDescriptor will now keep a pointer to the original inode even after
opening it resolves to a character device.
Fixed up /bin/ls to display major and minor device numbers instead of size
for device files.
Previously, calling Region::commit() would make sure to allocate any missing
physical pages, but they would contain uninitialized data. This was very
obvious when allocating GraphicsBitmaps as they would have garbage pixels
rather than being filled with black.
The MM quickmap mechanism didn't work when operating on a non-active page
directory (which happens when we're in the middle of exec, for example.)
This patch changes quickmap to reside in the shared kernel page directory.
Also added some missing clobber lists to inline asm that I stumbled on.
