Add boot loader debug menu option "Save syslog from previous session
during boot". If enabled (defaults to true), the previous session's
debug syslog data is copy to a separate buffer and passed to the
kernel, which writes it back to the file /var/log/previous_syslog.
As long as Haiku still boots, this should now be the most convenient way
to retrieve the output from a kernel crash.

Rebased against current sources.
* The BIOS video mode sometimes reports a scaled mode instead of the
physical panel dimensions. Get the data from the VBT table as well, and
use it if the reported resolution is bigger.
* On first boot, force the panel native mode so the user doesn't have to
set it manually.
* Only allow a single head at a time on i855gm, as the card can't drive
both heads at the same time.
* Detect when a new requested mode is the same as the current one, and
skip modesetting in that case. Avoids screen flickering when changing
workspaces.
* Fix some cases of misdetecting which pipes to enable
* Instead of creating an OpenSSL context ofor each socket, use a global
one and initialize it lazily when the first SecureSocket is created
* Load the certificates from our certificate list so SSL certificates
sent by servers can be validated.
* Add a callback for signalling that certificate validation failed, the
default implementation proceeds with the connection anyway (to keep the
old behavior).
* Introduce BCertificate class, that provides some information about a
certificate. Currently it's only used by the callback mentionned above,
but it will be possible to get the leaf certificate for the connection
after it's established.
Review of the API and implementation is welcome, before I start making
use of this in HttpRequest and WebKit to allow the user to accept new
certificates.
Use standard error codes instead.
This allows using error code returned by the underlying functions
directly, and makes it possible to use strerror for debugging. So, we
can also remove StatusString() from the various *Request classes.
Previous implementation based on the actual load of each core and share
each thread has in that load turned up to be very problematic when
balancing load on very heavily loaded systems (i.e. more threads
consuming all available CPU time than there is logical CPUs).
The new approach is to estimate how much load would a thread produce
if it had all CPU time only for itself. Summing such load estimations
of each thread assigned to a given core we get a rank that contains
much more information than just simple actual core load.
* Previously PE binaries would trigger the "incorrectly
executable" dialog. Now we get a special message for
B_LEGACY_EXECUTABLE and B_UNKNOWN_EXECUTABLE
* Legacy at the moment is a R3 x86 PE binary. This could
be extended to gcc2 binaries someday far, far, down the
road though
* The check for legacy is based on a PE flag I see
set on every R3 binary (that isn't set on dos ones)
* Unknown is something we know *is* an executable, but
can't do anything with (such as an MSDOS or Windows
application)
* No performance drops as we do the PE scan last
* Tested on x86 and x86_gcc2
This field forces kernel to track each CPU load all the time. It is not
a problem with the current scheduler on a multicore systems, but on
single core machnies or with any other future scheduler this field may
become just an unnecessary burden. It isn't difficult for an application
to compute CPU load by itself when it needs it.
When calling Stop(), we expect the request thread to exit as soon as
possible. Closing the connection unlocks it from any blocking read() or
write(), avoiding some lockup situations.
* My BeagleBone gcc defines __ARMEL__ but not
__ARM__ which breaks the native tool builds
* As ARM was originally Little Endian, we assume
__ARM__ means as such.
* Look for Big Endian ARM and define the needed big
endian preprocessors
* Add behavior constant B_POP_UP_BEHAVIOR which adds a pop-up marker
to the button (similar to that of BMenuField).
* Add methods [Set]PopUpMessage(). To set/get the the message that is
sent to the button's target when the pop-up marker is clicked.
* Add methods SetFlat()/IsFlat(). A flat button doesn't draw its frame,
unless the mouse is hovering over it or it is otherwise activated.
* As a side effect this change also activates the hover glow that was
already implemented in BControlLook, but not activated in BButton.
* Draw(): Remove the non-BControlLook code.
* GetPreferredSize(): Implement based on _ValidatePreferredSize() to
avoid code duplication.
* Draw(): Fix off-by-one error. The label was too close to the box.
* Draw(), _ValidatePreferredSize(): Add icon support.
_ValidatePreferredSize() is now actually aligned with what Draw()
expects. The preferred width is now a tight fit; there were three or
four pixels of empty space before.
Due to the fixed check box position the layout isn't that nice in
some situations (particularly with an icon larger than the text),
IMHO.
The icon is meant as an addition to or replacement of the label. Icon
bitmaps for various states of the control (off, on, partially on, each
enabled or disabled, plus up to 125 custom states) can be set
individually via SetIconBitmap() (getter IconBitmap()).
The convenience method SetIcon() can be used to set the bitmaps for the
standard states from a single bitmap; it also supports cropping the
icon to its non-transparent area. Code borrowed from BIconButton.
* Update the previously unused frame_type and background_type enums.
* Add methods GetFrameInsets(), GetBackgroundInsets(), GetInsets() to
get the insets for a given frame type, background type, or both
respectively.
The baudrate constant for MIDI speed was after all the others in BeOS,
and we have to keep them with the same values for things to work.
Moreover, the constants in SerialPort.h were not changed, so everything
was out of sync and all apps using BSerialPort ended up using the wrong
speed.
Add a comment in termios.h to make sure this doesn't happen again.
* Add possible control state B_CONTROL_PARTIALLY_ON and support it in
BCheckBox and BControlLook.
* BCheckBox: Add partialStateToOff property defining whether the
partial state should transition to off. Defaults to false (i.e.
partial to on).
* This is primarily a service method for ports of widget tool kits
that require single-threaded GUI. DispatchExternalMessage() calls
DispatchMessage(), but also sets fLastMessage, so that
[Detach]CurrentMessage() work correctly. This allows to detach a
message in DispatchMessage() when called from the window thread,
add it to a global queue, and later process the queued messages in
a different thread that calls DispatchExternalMessage().
* BLooper/BWindow: Make sure fLastMessage is accessed only when locked.
atomic_{get, set}64() are problematic on architectures without 64 bit
compare and swap.
Also, using sequential lock instead of atomic access ensures that
any reads from cpu_ent::active_time won't require any writes to shared
memory.
The client code is not supposed to change the topology info.
It would be also nice if cpu_topology_node::children was an array of
pointers to const but that would require several const_casts in the
topology tree generation code so it's probably not worth it.
Apparently, reading from dr3 is slower than reading from memory
with cache hit.
Also, depending on hypervisor configuration, accessing dr3 may cause
a VM exit (and, at least on kvm, it does), what makes it much slower
than a memory access even when there is a cache miss.
* BUrlResult is back, with ContentType and Length methods.
* BHttpResult subclasses it and use HTTP header fields to implement
those
* Introduce BDataRequest for "data" URIs. These embed the data inside
the URI, either as plaintext or base64 encoded.
Add get_safemode_option_early() and get_safemode_boolean_early() to get
safemode options before the kernel heap has been initialized. They use a
simplified parser.
* VMTranslationMap:
- Add DebugPrintMappingInfo(): Given a virtual address it is supposed
to print the paging structure information for that address. To be
implemented by derived classes.
- Add DebugGetReverseMappingInfo(): Given a physical addresss it is
supposed to find all virtual addresses mapped to it. To be
implemented by derived classes.
* X86VMTranslationMapPAE: Implement the new methods
DebugPrintMappingInfo() and DebugGetReverseMappingInfo().
* Add KDL command "mapping". It supports both virtual address lookups
and reverse lookups.
__flatten_process_args() does now have the executable path as an
additional (optional) parameter. If specified, the function will read
the file's SYS:ENV attribute (if set) and use its value to modified the
environment it is preparing for the new process. Currently supported
attribute values are strings consisting of "<var>=<value>" substrings
separated by "\0" (backslash zero), with '\' being used as an escape
character. The environment will be altered to contain the specified
"<var>=<value>" elements, replacing a preexisting <var> element (if
any).
A possible use case would be setting a SYS:ENV attribute with value
"DISABLE_ASLR=1" on an executable that needs ASLR disabled.
* VMAddressSpace: Add randomizingEnabled property.
* VMUserAddressSpace: Randomize addresses only when randomizingEnabled
property is set.
* create_team_arg(): Check, if the team's environment contains
"DISABLE_ASLR=1". Set the team's address space property
randomizingEnabled accordingly in load_image_internal() and
exec_team().
We can send the data directly to the output socket instead of copying it
into a BString first, at the cost of very slightly less information in
debug output.
* Create new interface for cpuidle modules (similar to the cpufreq
interface)
* Generic cpuidle module is no longer needed
* Fix and update Intel C-State module
* Increase FIFO buffer capacity from 32 to 64 KiB and the FIFO atomic
write size ({BUF_SIZE}) from 512 bytes to 4 KiB (both like Linux).
* Fix *pathconf(..., _PC_PIPE_BUF). It was returning 4 KiB although the
implemented atomic write size was 512 bytes only. Now both *pathconf()
and the FIFO implementation refer to the same constant.
When using the copy constructor of BNetEndpoint the socket of the
original endpoint gets dup'ed. The Accept() method later directly reset
the fSocket member of the newly created BNetEndpoint to the socket
returned by accept(). The socket dup'ed by the copy constructor was
therefore leaked.
Of course dup'ing the socket and copying the local and remote addresses
is superfluous in the accept case, as these members all get set to new
values. To reduce that overhead there is now a new private constructor
that directly gets the final socket and remote and local address.
A DatabaseLocation is passed to the constructor and used to verify that
the sniffed MIME type is installed instead of BMimeType::IsInstalled().
This makes the add-on independent of the default MIME DB.
Add a constructor and a SetTo() method with a
BPackageResolvableExpression parameter instead of a path. The path of
the package satisfying the expression is used.
The new functionality lives in libpackage as it uses the package kit.
Most of the hooks don't strictly need a non-empty implementation. The
defaults now simply throw exceptions in those that do. This allows the
class to be instantiated, which is useful when a BPackageManager is only
used for finding packages.
Require the installation interface and the user interaction handle to
be passed to the constructor. Formerly, derived classes set them
manually in their constructors. This makes using the class without
having to subclass it possible.
It's a browser for the system package content, where entries can be
selected to blacklist them. The selected entries are removed from the
packagefs instance in the boot loader, so that e.g. selected drivers
won't be picked up. The paths are also added to the safe mode driver
settings and will be interpreted when the system packagefs instance is
mounted by the kernel.
* Make Menu and MenuItem polymorphic.
* MenuItem:
- Make SetMarked() virtual, so it can be overridden.
- Add SetSubmenu() and Supermenu().
- Delete the submenu in the destructor.
* Menu:
- Add Entered()/Exited() hooks. They frame the time the user navigates
the menu or any of its submenus. The hooks allow for subclasses
populating their item list dynamically.
- Add SortItems().
* Update boot loader menu copyright text to include 2013, now that it is
over soon. :-)
In each installation location, it is now possible to create a settings
file "packages" that allows to blacklist entries contained in packages.
The format is:
Package <package name> {
EntryBlacklist {
<entry path>
...
}
}
...
<package name> is the base name (no version) of the respective package
(e.g. "haiku"), <entry path> is an installation location relative path
(e.g. "add-ons/Translators/FooTranslator").
Blacklisted entries will be ignored by packagefs, i.e. they won't appear
in the file system. This addresses the issue that it may be necessary to
remove a problematic file (e.g. driver, add-on, or library), which would
otherwise require editing the containing package file.
The settings file is not not "live". Changes take effect only after
reboot (respectively when remounting the concerned packagefs volume).
* get_architectures() returns the primary and the secondary
architectures in one array. That turned out to be convenient.
* Add C++ versions for get[_secondary]_architectures(), returning a
BStringList.
* Add get_architecture(), get_primary_architecture(),
get_secondary_architectures(), guess_architecture_for_path() to get
the caller's architecture, the primary architecture, all secondary
architectures, or the architecture associated with a specified path
respectively.
* Rename the find_path*() functions to find_path*_etc() and add an
optional architecture parameter. Add simplified find_path*()
functions.
* BPathFinder: Add FindPath[s]() versions with an architecture
parameter.
Implement BNetworkRoster::GetRoutes() and BNetworkInterface::GetRoutes().
Also implement BNetworkInterface::GetDefaultGateway().
There is code duplication at the moment, and the api only supports IPV4.
By passing the window pointer to ScreenSaverRunner contructor and using that
to lock the window when drawing instead of getting the window from the
Window() method of the view. This is safer.
* Remove useless dummy protocol loop in UrlRequest
* Stop HTTP requests before deleting the socket and other things the
loop may still be using
* Deletion of items from the authentication map wasn't working
* Remove some debug traces
Start the screensaver in the window thread instead of the runner
thread so that there is no lock contention for the window lock in
the runner thread when the saver starts.
The view that gets drawn into is assumed to have been prepared before
being passed to the runner thread, and this assumption has been made
true for the screensaver preview and screen_blanker apps.
Eliminate fHasStarted and the corresponding HasStarted() method in
ScreenSaverRunner as they are no longer needed.
Drawing still happens in the runner thread, and still needs to lock
the window thread potentially causing contention, yet, there
is a timeout here so the contention won't freeze the screensaver window,
only delay drawing the screensaver.
Drawing could be moved to the window thread via message passing to avoid
lock contention with the window but this would defeat a big part of the
purpose of having a separate rendering thread.
This fixes#10125 and #4260
* pin idle threads to their specific CPUs
* allow scheduler to implement SMP_MSG_RESCHEDULE handler
* scheduler_set_thread_priority() reworked
* at reschedule: enqueue old thread after dequeueing the new one
* virtio_scsi can have 16384 luns, though we cap at 256 as our scsi_ccb
only uses uchar as a type for target_lun and target_id members.
* minor code cleanup in scsi_scan_bus().
* Thread::scheduler_lock protects thread state, priority, etc.
* sThreadCreationLock protects thread creation and removal and list of
threads in team.
* Team::signal_lock and Team::time_lock protect list of threads in team
as well.
* Scheduler uses its own internal locking.
* The UNMAP command is theoretically much faster, as it can get many block
ranges instead of just a single range.
* Furthermore, the ATA TRIM command resembles it much better.
* Therefore, fs_trim_data now gets an array of ranges, and we use SCSI UNMAP
to trim.
* Updated BFS code to collect array ranges to fully support the new
fs_trim_data possibilities.
No functional change intended.
Renamed title => name in regular constructors,
No right or wrong here but consistant now.
Renamed data => archive in Achive constructor,
Ditto.
* No need for the atomically changed variables to be declared as
volatile.
* Drop support for atomically getting and setting unaligned data.
* Introduce atomic_get_and_set[64]() which works the same as
atomic_set[64]() used to. atomic_set[64]() does not return the
previous value anymore.
The new functions are meant to replace many uses of find_directory():
* find_paths() is supposed to be used when the directories of a certain
kind in all installation directories are needed (e.g. font
directories, add-on directory, etc.). Using this API makes code
robust wrt addition or removal of installation locations.
* find_path() is supposed to be used when files/directories associated
with a loaded program, library, or add-on need to be found (e.g. data
files or global settings).
* find_path_for_path() is similar to find_path(), but it starts from a
given path instead of an image.
The flag main purpose is to avoid race conditions between event handler
and cancel_timer(). However, cancel_timer() is safe even without
using gSchedulerLock.
If the event is scheduled to happen on other CPU than the CPU that
invokes cancel_timer() then cancel_timer() either disables the event
before its handler starts executing or waits until the event handler
is done.
If the event is scheduled on the same CPU that calls cancel_timer()
then, since cancel_timer() disables interrupts, the event is either
executed before cancel_timer() or when the timer interrupt handler
starts running the event is already disabled.
This causes configure of gcc/binutils to fail its test for sys/time.h, which
in turn causes compilation of gcc/binutils to fail.
Found trying to do a @bootstrap-raw build for ARM.
The authentication state is stored (in a hash map, using the domain+path
as a key) in the UrlContext class. It can then be reused for multiple
requests to the same place. We also lookup stored authentications for
parent directories and stop at the first we find.
Authentication state is not stored on disk (unlike cookies), and there
can only be one for each domain+path.
This change is needed for implementing cookie persistence in Web+ using
the network kit backend.
The current implementation requires the user to unarchive the cookie
jar, then hand it over to the BUrlContext which will copy it to its own
field. This makes the code simpler, but maybe doing a complete copy
(with all the cookies) is an heavy operation and could be avoided.
* BWindow used to generate the B_MOUSE_IDLE events by sending a
delayed message with a one-shot BMessageRunner to itself.
Every creation and deletion of BMessageRunners causes synchronous
messaging between the application under the mouse cursor and the
registrar. This creates large amounts of calls to set_port_owner()
in the kernel whenever moving the mouse.
* Now, B_MOUSE_IDLE is sent by the cursor loop inside the app_server
instead. When the mouse wasn't moved for the tooltip delay time,
it inserts a B_MOUSE_IDLE message into the event stream.
* The tooltip delay thus becomes a system-wide constant and is not
configurable per-application anymore (no code currently in the
Haiku repo makes use of that anyhow).
* Replace ports list mutex with R/W-lock.
* Move team port list protection to separate array of mutexes.
Relieve contention on sPortsLock by removing Team::port_list from its
protected items. With this, set_port_owner() only needs to acquire the
sPortsLock for reading.
* Add another hash table holding the ports by name. Used by find_port()
so it doesn't have to iterate over the list anymore.
* Use slab-based memory allocator for port messages. sPortQuotaLock was
acquired on every message send or receive and was thus another point
of contention. The lock is not necessary anymore.
* Lock for port hashes and Port::lock are no longer locked in a nested
fashion to reduce chances of blocking other threads.
* Make operations concurrency-safe by adding an atomically accessed
Port::state which provides linearization points to port creation and
deletion. Both operations are now divided into logical and physical
parts, the logical part just updating the state and the physical part
adding/remove it to/from the port hash and team port list.
* set_port_owner() is the only remaining function which still locks
Port::lock and one or two of sTeamListLock[] in a nested fashion.
Since it needs to move the port from one team list to another and
change Port::owner, there's no way around.
* Ports are now reference counted to make accesses to already-deleted
ports safe.
* Should fix#8007.
When removing a string attribute, decrement the referenced string's
usage count in the string cache. This fixes the potentially incorrect
usage counts in update mode. Not a serious problem, but it could lead
to only singly (or no longer) used strings to be written to the string
subsection instead of encoding them inline and thus to slightly greater
file sizes.
When joining with a single range, firstRange would be the same as
RangeAt(endIndex - 1) and we would overwrite its offset field before
getting its end offset, thus possibly resulting in a wrong joined range
size.
* Remove the fRawData field, as handling it is too complicated (it's
not easy to have proper copy semantics on a BDataIO) and it's not used
anyway, as the listener DataReceived call is enough to get the data and
handle it.
* All the remaining fields are HTTP-only, so rename the class to
HttpResult and attach it to HttpRequest instead of UrlRequest.
Simple scheduler behaves exactly the same as affine scheduler with a
single core. Obviously, affine scheduler is more complicated thus
introduces greater overhead but quite a lot of multicore logic has been
disabled on single core systems in the previous commit.
The method is supposed to return B_OK as long as the _result object has
been initialized, even if committing the transaction failed. Fixes the
unhelpful error messages of pkgman when committing the transaction
failed for some reason.
