Also, sleep() as a function (implemented by way of nanosleep) and new
absolute and relative sleep system calls added to newlib.
[ci skip] I damn well know this is going to break CI.
Adds a byte to the process struct, but avoids GCC-specific extensions of
using a single byte for a bitmask. May or may not have any effect
anywhere, but will make ./analyze happier.
and possibly other environments - fixes the long-standing issue with
keyboard/mouse getting disabled sometimes on bootup, especially if you
tried to interact with the qemu window during the boot process
* fix some terminal bugs (some, not all)
* add a serial device to the VFS
* fix up serial so it works better
* add a serial-console application
* fix a bug in some other stuff relating to allocations
* change size of the terminal described by toaru.terminfo
* adds a new system call
I'm trying to get PATA access to work on real hardware (and in
VirtualBox, specifically), but it's not working out well. Unless there's
a major breakthrough tomorrow, I'm going to set it aside for a while.
Kernel driver sends raw scancodes, compositor or terminal handle the
rest. Support for F* keys will be added soon, in the mean time userspace
applications can know about the status of modifiers (control, shift,
alt, and super).
Compositor actions have been changed to Alt+Left Click for move and
Alt+Middle Click for resize. I'll work on adding more mouse events once
I get them to be faster (they're annoyingly slow at the moment... I want
more accuracy and less latency).
- libc functions not implemented yet
- see `env` for an example of reading variables
- see `esh` for an example of how to set and maintain variables for
sending to other applications
Both of the above will be the basis for the libc implementation.
* Works with different block sizes
* Works with different inode sizes
* Tested on a real EXT2 file system made with mkfs.ext2
* MBR reading is available
* You can specify a partition with hdd=0 or hdd=1 etc.
* If you make a "real" disk image, you can get GRUB installed in
its MBR, toss in a suitable config file, and boot right off the
disk rather than having to use QEMU to boot the kernel or using
some silly CDROM ramdisk nonsense.
This is in favor of bootloader-assisted mode switching. Grub has a
wonderful option we will exploit to set the video mode.
My laptop supports a couple of 32-bit video modes, which is nice,
because I'm not support 24-bit modes.
I'm not sure whether the super-sketchy video memory locator will work
in the real world, but we'll find out sometime soon.
The compositor itself still needs work, but the compositing engine
within now does full blitting and is faster than the old method.
Transparency is now supported properly, though telling the compositor to
use it on a window will degrade performance. One terminal is usually
okay, and everything runs faster than it did before; two terminals is
pushing it; three will make you very sad. The stacking logic has also
been updated. Presumably, alpha blitting for transparent windows could
be done with SIMD instructions and be extremely fast.
All graphics libraries have also been updated to (hopefully) work
properly with alpha bits.
* Also cleaning up some kernel logging options here.
* You can log in as local or root with passwords local and toor
* Graphical sessions are still buggy, so don't kill that terminal.
