For non-US keyboards, the extra 102th/105th key is used to reach \. But,
we also need it to report | when shifted (this is the key left to
"enter").
This affects only USB keyboards. Thanks to gordoncjp for reporting!
When switching AppMetaMimeCreator from BMimeType to Database the
SetIcon[ForType]() calls with a BBitmap* ended up calling the vector
icon version with the icon_size as the data size argument, thus not only
not writing the bitmap icon attributes, but also clobbering the vector
icon attribute.
* BSolver/LibsolvSolver: Add FullSync() method. It uses libsolv's
SOLVER_DISTUPGRADE mode.
* BPackageManager: Add FullSync() using the new solver mode.
* pkgman: Add full-sync command.
The new command is similar to the update command without arguments, just
more aggressive, allowing downgrading or even removal of packages, to
match the state of the repositories. Just like "update" it doesn't work
properly yet.
UserEvent can be fired from scheduler_reschedule() i.e. while holding current
thread scheduler_lock. If the current thread goes sleep and during reschedule
one of its timers sends a signel to it, then scheduler_enqueue_in_run_queue()
attempts to acquire again its scheduler_lock resulting in a deadlock.
There was also a minor issue with both scheduler_reschedule() and
scheduler_enqueue_in_run_queue() acquiring current CPU scheduler mode lock.
Some websites set cookies expiring in the (not so) far future, after year 2038.
So, using time_t to store the cookie expiration date won't do. Use the
BDateTime class instead.
This makes goodsearch.com login work again (#10460).
Adjust Database{Location} to only attempt to create a mimetype when
actually necessary, and fail otherwise if a writable version doesn't yet
exist. Correspondingly, adjust callers such as
DatabaseLocation::DeleteAttribute(). Fixes a problem where a caller asking
to perform a mimeset could fail early due to SetSupportedTypes() attempting
to update the read-only mime database entry supplied by a package, and
consequently most of the mimeset operations would be skipped.
* Fix incorrect cpu vendor name mapping
* Add additional CPU architectures
* Add additional CPU vendors
* Rework PowerPC arch_system_info passing
PVR back for cpu model
* Set max cpu to 1 for PPC until atomic functions are finished
* We have atomic functions inline in the kernel and assembly
code in libroot post-scheduler merge... isn't that a lot of
duplication?
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
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.
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.
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.
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().
* 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.
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.
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.
