You're never gonna be right 100% of the time when guessing how much buffer
space you need. This avoids having to make that type of decision in a bunch
of cases. :^)
You can now open as many PTY pairs as you like. Well, it's actually capped
at 8 for now, but it's just a constant and trivial to change.
Unregistering a PTY pair is untested because I didn't want to start
mucking with that in Terminal right now.
Only raw octal modes are supported right now.
This patch also changes mode_t from 32-bit to 16-bit to match the on-disk
type used by Ext2FS.
I also ran into EPERM being errno=0 which was confusing, so I inserted an
ESUCCESS in its place.
It's really only supported in Ext2FS since SynthFS doesn't really want you
mucking around with its files. This is pretty neat though :^)
I ran into some trouble with HashMap while working on this but opted to work
around it and leave that for a separate investigation.
Work now happens in terms of two messages:
- WM_ClientWantsToPaint
- WM_ClientFinishedPaint
This feels fairly obvious compared to the old Paint/Invalidate.
Instead of clients painting whenever they feel like it, we now ask that they
paint in response to a paint message.
After finishing painting, clients notify the WindowServer about the rect(s)
they painted into and then flush eventually happens, etc.
This stuff leaves us with a lot of badly named things. Need to fix that.
This means we only have to do one fill_rect() per line and the whole process
ends up being ~10% faster than before.
Also added a read_tsc() syscall to give userspace access to the TSC.
To start painting, call:
gui$get_window_backing_store()
Then finish up with:
gui$release_window_backing_store()
Process will retain the underlying GraphicsBitmap behind the scenes.
This fixes racing between the WindowServer and GUI clients.
This patch also adds a WSWindowLocker that is exactly what it sounds like.
This patch adds most of the plumbing for working file deletion in Ext2FS.
Directory entries are removed and inode link counts updated.
We don't yet update the inode or block bitmaps, I will do that separately.
Make PageDirectory retainable and have each Region co-own the PageDirectory
they're mapped into. When unmapped, Region has no associated PageDirectory.
This allows Region to automatically unmap itself when destroyed.
