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.
