When filling in some missing part of a window (typically happens during
interactive window resize) we now use the ColorRole::Background from
the system theme palette instead of expecting the clients to send us
the same information when creating windows.
WindowServer now tracks whether windows are occluded (meaning that
they are completely covered by one or more opaque windows sitting above
them.) This state is communicated to the windows via WindowStateChanged
messages, which then allow GWindow to mark its backing store volatile.
This reduces the effective memory impact of windows that are not at all
visible to the user. Very cool. :^)
This program takes JSON input and turns it into JavaScript statements
that construct the same data step by step. This format is much more
greppable than what "jp" gives us. :^)
Tests fail to compile for a mix of reasons, some due to macOS file systems being by default case-insensitive and some specific to clang. Both issues are better left to a dedicated set of PR that addressed them.
Compiling LibCore on macOS is needed if one wants to compile host tools (like IPCCompiler) on a non Linux host. These changes could be possibly reverted once "event loop" functionality and "base library" (Vector, String etc.) will be split in two separate libraries,
updating all relevant projects.
PR #591 defines the rationale for kernel-level timers. They're most
immediately useful for TCP retransmission, but will most likely see use
in many other areas as well.
This patch introduces three separate thread queues, one for each thread
priority available to userspace (Low, Normal and High.)
Each queue operates in a round-robin fashion, but we now always prefer
to schedule the highest priority thread that currently wants to run.
There are tons of tweaks and improvements that we can and should make
to this mechanism, but I think this is a step in the right direction.
This makes WindowServer significantly more responsive while one of its
clients is burning CPU. :^)
The tool currently supports drawing an elliptical line of a specified
thickness. Further improvements can include adding a fill mode, and
holding down shift to draw a perfect circle.
Closes#375.
This functon will draw an ellipse which is intersecting the corners of
the rect given. It is a very naive implementation, taking 200 samples of
points around the ellipse, and drawing straight lines between each of
these points.
The ellipses look good enough to me though!
We don't care about dead processes that were once members of a specific
process group.
This was causing us to try and send SIGINT to already-dead processes
when pressing Ctrl+C in a terminal whose pgrp they were once in.
Fixes#922.
WindowServer will now send out a WindowStateChanged message to clients
when one of their windows is minimized.
This is then forwarded to the GWindow, which will try to mark its
underlying window backing store as volatile.
This allows the kernel to steal the memory used by minimized windows
in case it starts running low. Very cool! :^)
Instead of panicking right away when we run out of physical pages,
we now try to find a PurgeableVMObject with some volatile pages in it.
If we find one, we purge that entire object and steal one of its pages.
This makes it possible for the kernel to keep going instead of dying.
Very cool. :^)
We were listing the total number of user/super pages as the number of
"available" pages in the system. This was then misinterpreted in the
SystemMonitor program and displayed wrong in the GUI.
Previously we assumed all hosts would have support for IA32_EFER.NXE.
This is mostly true for newer hardware, but older hardware will crash
and burn if you try to use this feature.
Now we check for support via CPUID.80000001[20].
