This only works with the userspace build of SharedGraphics so far.
It's also very slow at loading fonts, but that's easy to fix.
Let's put fonts in /res/fonts/.
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.
This required a fair bit of plumbing. The CharacterDevice::close() virtual
will now be closed by ~FileDescriptor(), allowing device implementations to
do custom cleanup at that point.
One big problem remains: if the master PTY is closed before the slave PTY,
we go into crashy land.
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. :^)
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.
Okay, now ProcFS doesn't crash due to the crappy buffer size estimates
not really working out. This thing has dogshit performance and I will
fix that separately.
It was fun for everyone to share a single framebuffer but it was also
kinda really awful. Let's move towards having a "GraphicsBitmap" as the
backing store for each Window.
This is going to need a lot of refactoring so let's get started.
The inode cache was keeping these alive forever. Added a cute little magic
trick to Retainable that calls T::one_retain_left() when the retain count
is decremented to 1.
This container is really just there to keep a retain on the individual
PhysicalPages for each page table. A HashMap does the job with far greater
space efficiency.
Use a little template magic to have Retainable::release() call out to
T::will_be_destroyed() if such a function exists before actually calling
the destructor. This gives us full access to virtual functions in the
pre-destruction code.
The kernel now bills processes for time spent in kernelspace and userspace
separately. The accounting is forwarded to the parent process in reap().
This makes the "time" builtin in bash work.
Clang demands that the size argument to the various operator new()'s
to be exactly whatever it thinks std::size_t is.
Since we can't include STL headers, this little trick will do.
This way the scheduler doesn't need to plumb the exit status into the waiter.
We still plumb the waitee pid though, I don't love it but it can be fixed.
I feel like this concept might be useful in more places. It's very naive
right now and uses dynamically growing buffers. It should really use static
size buffers and never kmalloc().
...by adding a new class called Ext2Inode that inherits CoreInode.
The idea is that a vnode will wrap a CoreInode rather than InodeIdentifier.
Each CoreInode subclass can keep whatever caches they like.
Right now, Ext2Inode caches the list of block indices since it can be very
expensive to retrieve.
