GObjects can now register a timer with the GEventLoop. This will eventually
cause GTimerEvents to be dispatched to the GObject.
This needed a few supporting changes in the kernel:
- The PIT now ticks 1000 times/sec.
- select() now supports an arbitrary timeout.
- gettimeofday() now returns something in the tv_usec field.
With these changes, the clock window in guitest2 finally ticks on its own.
FileDescriptor will now keep a pointer to the original inode even after
opening it resolves to a character device.
Fixed up /bin/ls to display major and minor device numbers instead of size
for device files.
This required a fair bit of plumbing. The CharacterDevice::close() virtual
will now be closed by ~FileDescriptor(), allowing device implementations to
do custom cleanup at that point.
One big problem remains: if the master PTY is closed before the slave PTY,
we go into crashy land.
Only raw octal modes are supported right now.
This patch also changes mode_t from 32-bit to 16-bit to match the on-disk
type used by Ext2FS.
I also ran into EPERM being errno=0 which was confusing, so I inserted an
ESUCCESS in its place.
It's really only supported in Ext2FS since SynthFS doesn't really want you
mucking around with its files. This is pretty neat though :^)
I ran into some trouble with HashMap while working on this but opted to work
around it and leave that for a separate investigation.
This means we only have to do one fill_rect() per line and the whole process
ends up being ~10% faster than before.
Also added a read_tsc() syscall to give userspace access to the TSC.
This patch adds most of the plumbing for working file deletion in Ext2FS.
Directory entries are removed and inode link counts updated.
We don't yet update the inode or block bitmaps, I will do that separately.
Make PageDirectory retainable and have each Region co-own the PageDirectory
they're mapped into. When unmapped, Region has no associated PageDirectory.
This allows Region to automatically unmap itself when destroyed.
It's a bit confusing that the "current" process is not actually running
while we're inside the scheduler. Perhaps the scheduler should redirect
"current" to its own dummy Process. I'm not sure.
Regardless, this patch improves responsiveness by allowing the scheduler
to unblock a process right after it calls select() in case it already has
a pending wakeup request.
The system can finally idle without burning CPU. :^)
There are some issues with scheduling making the mouse cursor sloppy
and unresponsive that need to be dealt with.
When you open /dev/ptmx, you get a file descriptor pointing to one of the
available MasterPTY's. If none are available, you get an EBUSY.
This makes it possible to open multiple (up to 4) Terminals. :^)
To support this, I also added a CharacterDevice::open() that gets control
when VFS is opening a CharacterDevice. This is useful when we want to return
a custom FileDescriptor like we do here.
Userspace programs can now open /dev/gui_events and read a stream of GUI_Event
structs one at a time.
I was stuck on a stupid problem where we'd reenter Scheduler::yield() due to
having one of the has_data_available_for_reading() implementations using locks.
This is a lot better than having them in kmalloc memory. I'm gonna need
a way to keep track of which process owns which bitmap eventually,
maybe through some sort of resource keying system. We'll see.
The old approach only worked because of an overpermissive accident.
There's now a concept of supervisor physical pages that can be allocated.
They all sit in the low 4 MB of physical memory and are identity mapped,
shared between all processes, and only ring 0 can access them.
