Contrary to the past, we don't attempt to assume the real name of a TTY
device, but instead, we generate a pseudo name only when needed to do so
which is still OK because we don't break abstraction layer rules and we
still can provide userspace with the required information.
The obsolete ttyname and ptsname syscalls are removed.
LibC doesn't rely on these anymore, and it helps simplifying the Kernel
in many places, so it's an overall an improvement.
In addition to that, /proc/PID/tty node is removed too as it is not
needed anymore by userspace to get the attached TTY of a process, as
/dev/tty (which is already a character device) represents that as well.
We now use AK::Error and AK::ErrorOr<T> in both kernel and userspace!
This was a slightly tedious refactoring that took a long time, so it's
not unlikely that some bugs crept in.
Nevertheless, it does pass basic functionality testing, and it's just
real nice to finally see the same pattern in all contexts. :^)
This removes some code dupe from the constructors.
By removing this duplicate constructor we can utilize the main
VirtualConsole::create factory implementation and call that from the
VirtualConsole::create_with_preset_log factory method.
This singleton simplifies many aspects that we struggled with before:
1. There's no need to make derived classes of Device expose the
constructor as public anymore. The singleton is a friend of them, so he
can call the constructor. This solves the issue with try_create_device
helper neatly, hopefully for good.
2. Getting a reference of the NullDevice is now being done from this
singleton, which means that NullDevice no longer needs to use its own
singleton, and we can apply the try_create_device helper on it too :)
3. We can now defer registration completely after the Device constructor
which means the Device constructor is merely assigning the major and
minor numbers of the Device, and the try_create_device helper ensures it
calls the after_inserting method immediately after construction. This
creates a great opportunity to make registration more OOM-safe.
Instead of doing so in the constructor, let's do immediately after the
constructor, so we can safely pass a reference of a Device, so the
SysFSDeviceComponent constructor can use that object to identify whether
it's a block device or a character device.
This allows to us to not hold a device in SysFSDeviceComponent with a
RefPtr.
Also, we also call the before_removing method in both SlavePTY::unref
and File::unref, so because Device has that method being overrided, it
can ensure the device is removed always cleanly.
These methods are no longer needed because SystemServer is able to
populate the DevFS on its own.
Device absolute_path no longer assume a path to the /dev location,
because it really should not assume any path to a Device node.
Because StorageManagement still needs to know the storage name, we
declare a virtual method only for StorageDevices to override, but this
technique should really be removed later on.
This expands the reach of error propagation greatly throughout the
kernel. Sadly, it also exposes the fact that we're allocating (and
doing other fallible things) in constructors all over the place.
This patch doesn't attempt to address that of course. That's work for
our future selves.
VirtualConsole::m_lock was only used in a single place: on_tty_write()
That function is already protected by a global lock, so this second
lock served no purpose whatsoever.
Previously the VirtualConsole::on_tty_write() method would return an
incorrect value when an error had occurred. This prompted me to
update the TTY subsystem to use KResultOr<size_t> everywhere.
If we do not flush the dirty lines, characters typed in canonical mode
only appear after the virtual console has been switched away from, or
the application has been killed. Instead, we now immediately perform the
flush.
If lines are removed from the tail of the scrollback buffer, the
previous line indices will refer to different lines; therefore we need
to offset them.
This commit implements the left/right scrolling used in the `ICH`/`DCH`
escape sequences for `VirtualConsole`. This brings us one step closer to
VT420/xterm compatibility.
We can now finally remove the last escape sequence related `ifdef`s.
Previously, this was done by telling the client to put a space at each
character in the range. This was inefficient, because a large number of
function calls took place and incorrect, as the ANSI standard dictates
that character attributes should be cleared as well.
The newly added `clear_in_line` function solves this issue. It performs
just one bounds check when it's called and can be implemented as a
pretty tight loop.
This commit cleans up some of the `#ifdef`-ed code smell in
`Terminal`, by extending the scroll APIs to take a range of lines as a
parameter. This makes it possible to use the same code for `IL`/`DL` as
for scrolling.
Note that the current scrolling implementation is very naive, and does
many insertions/deletions in the middle of arrays, whereas swaps should
be enough. This optimization will come in a later commit.
The `linefeed` override was removed from `VirtualConsole`. Previously,
it exhibited incorrect behavior by moving to column 0. Now that we use
the method defined in `Terminal`, code which relied on this behavior
stopped working. We go instead go through the TTY layer which handles
the various output flags. Passing the input character-by-character
seems a bit excessive, so a fix for it will come in another PR.
Previously, we converted colors to their RGB values immediately when
they were set. This meant that their semantic meaning was lost, we could
not tell a precise RGB value apart from a named/indexed color.
The new way of storing colors will allow us to retain this information,
so we can change a color scheme on the fly, and previously emitted text
will also be affected.
The Alternate Screen Buffer is used by full-screen terminal applications
(like `vim` and `nano`). Its data is stored separately from the normal
buffer, therefore after applications using it exit, everything looks
like it was before, the bottom of their interfaces isn't visible. An
interesting feature is that it does not support scrollback, so it
consumes less memory by not having to allocate lines for history.
Because of the need to save and restore state between the switches, some
correctness issues relating to it were also fixed in this commit.
This commit introduces support for 3 new escape sequences:
1. Stop blinking cursor mode
2. `DECTCEM` mode (enable/disable cursor)
3. `DECSCUSR` (set cursor style)
`TerminalWidget` now supports the following cursor types: block,
underline and vertical bar. Each of these can blink or be steady.
`VirtualConsole` ignores these (just as we were doing before).
If we tried to change the resolution before of this patch, we triggered
a kernel crash due to mmaping the framebuffer device again.
Therefore, on mmaping of the framebuffer device, we create an entire new
set of VMObjects and Regions for the new settings.
Then, when we change the resolution, the framebuffersconsole needs to be
updated with the new resolution and also to be refreshed with the new
settings. To ensure we handle both shrinking of the resolution and
growth of it, we only copy the right amount of available data from the
cells Region.
Before this commit, we would jump to the first column after receiving
the '\n' line feed character. This is not the correct behavior, as it
should only move the cursor now. Translating the typed Return key into
the correct CR LF ("\r\n") is the TTY's job, which was fixed in #7184.
Fixes#6820Fixes#6960
As we removed the support of VBE modesetting that was done by GRUB early
on boot, we need to determine if we can modeset the resolution with our
drivers, and if not, we should enable text mode and ensure that
SystemServer knows about it too.
Also, SystemServer should first check if there's a framebuffer device
node, which is an indication that text mode was not even if it was
requested. Then, if it doesn't find it, it should check what boot_mode
argument the user specified (in case it's self-test). This way if we
try to use bochs-display device (which is not VGA compatible) and
request a text mode, it will not honor the request and will continue
with graphical mode.
Also try to print critical messages with mininum memory allocations
possible.
In LibVT, We make the implementation flexible for kernel-specific
methods that are implemented in ConsoleImpl class.

The end goal of this commit is to allow to boot on bare metal with no
PS/2 device connected to the system. It turned out that the original
code relied on the existence of the PS/2 keyboard, so VirtualConsole
called it even though ACPI indicated the there's no i8042 controller on
my real machine because I didn't plug any PS/2 device.
The code is much more flexible, so adding HID support for other type of
hardware (e.g. USB HID) could be much simpler.
Briefly describing the change, we have a new singleton called
HIDManagement, which is responsible to initialize the i8042 controller
if exists, and to enumerate its devices. I also abstracted a bit
things, so now every Human interface device is represented with the
HIDDevice class. Then, there are 2 types of it - the MouseDevice and
KeyboardDevice classes; both are responsible to handle the interface in
the DevFS.
PS2KeyboardDevice, PS2MouseDevice and VMWareMouseDevice classes are
responsible for handling the hardware-specific interface they are
assigned to. Therefore, they are inheriting from the IRQHandler class.
