Skia now uses GPU-accelerated painting on Linux if Vulkan is available.
Most of the performance gain is currently negated by reading the GPU
backend back into RAM to pass it to the Browser process. In the future,
this could be improved by sharing GPU-allocated memory across the
Browser and WebContent processes.
Fetch requests from web workers fail CORS checks because the origin is
not inherited from the outside settings. Ensure web worker origin is
correctly inherited from outside settings
GPU painter that uses AccelGfx is slower and way less complete compared
to both default Gfx::Painter and Skia painter. It does not make much
sense to keep it, considering Skia painter already uses Metal backend on
macOS by default and there is an option to enable GPU-accelerated
backend on linux.
Unit tests on macOS deadlock because the WebContent process is waiting
for the next opportunity to render before a screenshot is taken. For
some reason unknown to myself, this opportunity never arrives. In
order to not deadlock, screenshot requests are now also processed
separately from rendering.
This is an attempt to fix the hanging CI on macOS caused by some
screenshot requests being stuck unprocessed. With this change, we at
least make sure that the HTML event loop processing, which triggers
repainting, will happen as long as there are navigables that need to be
repainted.
This avoids an unecessary lossy conversion for the current time from
double to i32. And avoids an UBSAN failure on macOS that's dependent
on the current uptime.
If Metal context and IOSurface are available, Skia painter will use
Ganesh GPU backend on macOS, which is noticeably faster than the default
CPU backend.
Painting pipeline:
1. (WebContent) Allocate IOSurface for backing store
2. (WebContent) Allocate MTLTexture that wraps IOSurface
3. (WebContent) Paint into MTLTexture using Skia
4. (Browser) Wrap IOSurface into Gfx::Painter and use
QPainter/CoreGraphics to blit backing store into viewport.
Things we should improve in the future:
1. Upload textures for images in advance instead of doing that before
every repaint.
2. Teach AppKit client to read directly from IOSurface instead of
copying.
This is a non-standard API that other browsers implement, which
highlights matching text in the current window.
This is just a thin wrapper around our find in page functionality, the
main motivation for adding this API is that it allows us to write tests
for our find in page implementation.
An input event is now fired when the step up or step down button of an
input element of type number is clicked.
This ensures that any associated <output> element is updated when these
buttons are clicked.
Input elements without a defined user-interaction behavior need to fire
an input event when the user changes the element's value in some way.
This change moves the code to do this into its own function and adds
some spec text to explain what is being done.
And let the old shadow_root(), which was only supposed to be used by
bindings, be called shadow_root_for_bindings() instead.
This makes it much easier to read DOM code, and we don't have to worry
about when to use shadow_root_internal() or why.
Implement setLineDash() and getLineDash() in CanvasPathDrawingStyles,
which write/read from the CanvasState object.
This doesn't implement the actual drawing of a dashed line, but at least
sites using the Chart.js library no longer fail with an exception.
Unfortunately the Painter classes don't support dashed/dotted lines
based on segments yet.
LibLocale was split off from LibUnicode a couple years ago to reduce the
number of applications on SerenityOS that depend on CLDR data. Now that
we use ICU, both LibUnicode and LibLocale are actually linking in this
data. And since vcpkg gives us static libraries, both libraries are over
30MB in size.
This patch reverts the separation and merges LibLocale into LibUnicode
again. We now have just one library that includes the ICU data.
Further, this will let LibUnicode share the locale cache that previously
would only exist in LibLocale.
This implements most of the CloseWatcher API from the html spec.
AbortSignal support is unimplemented.
Integration with dialogs and popovers is also unimplemented.
This change introduces Skia painter available under a flag. It's not
yet match capabilities of Gfx::Painter and is not ready to replace it.
Motivation:
- The current CPU painter is a performance bottleneck on most websites.
Our own GPU painter implementation is very immature and has received
relatively little attention.
- There is ongoing effort on building painter that supports affine
transforms (AffineCommandExecutorCPU) but it is far from being on par
with the default CPU painter. Skia will allow us to immediately get
full transformation support for all painting commands.
GPU painting:
I experimented with Ganesh GPU-backend, however profiling revealed that
without sharing viewport texture between WebContent and Browser
processes, it won't bring much performance improvement compared to
CPU-backend. Therefore, I decided to keep this PR focused on
implementing most of painting commands and switch to GPU-backend in
future changes.
Text rendring:
Skia painter uses glyph bitmaps produced by LibGfx. Using Skia for text
rendering will require large refactoring of the font rendering
subsystem. Currently, it's impossible to construct SkFont right before
rendering because Gfx::VectorFont can't be serialized back into sequence
of bytes.
There is a problem with ugly include paths like:
`#include <core/SkBitmap.h>`.
I would prefer to have skia prefix in the path. There was an attempt to
fix that but PR was rejected https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/pull/32660
Regressions compared to Gfx::Painter:
- DrawText is not implemented
- PaintTextShadow is not implemented
- PaintRadialGradient and PaintLinearGradient do not support "transition
hints" and repeat length
- PaintConicGradient is not implemented
- DrawTriangleWave is not implemented
- DrawLine does not account for line style property
- DrawScaledBitmap and DrawScaledImmutableBitmap do not account for
scaling mode property
This adds a motion preference to the browser UI similar to the existing
ones for color scheme and contrast.
Both AppKit UI and Qt UI has this new preference.
The auto value is currently the same as NoPreference, follow-ups can
address wiring that up to the actual preference for the OS.
