Also removes mrsh from the list of ports missing descriptions. I tried
to be descriptive about the patches, but as I picked this port up from
someone else, I'm not 100% sure how to best explain the patches.
This let us test the VMWare SVGA adapter easily. We already use the std
vga (which is compatible with bochs-display that only lacks VGA support)
on the i440FX QEMU machine so we keep testing it there too, and on the
Q35 machine we use a bochs-display device as secondary display.
Add a job to the Azure pipelines to run tests with coverage enabled, and
aggregate the test results in a folder of html pages showing the
coverage results overall, and per-file.
Future work is needed to take the published pipeline artifact for the
coverage results and display them somewhere interesting.
The analyze-qemu-coverage.sh script cracks open the _disk_image for the
given SERENITY_ARCH and SERENITY_TOOLCHAIN and extracts llvm profile
data into a local directory owned by the current user. It then calls a
coverage artifact script from llvm to create a nice html report for all
the source files referenced by the profile data files.
We currently grab a script from llvm via wget. In the future a custom
script to call llvm-cov and llvm-profdata should probably be used.
This option sets -fprofile-instr-generate -fcoverage-mapping for Clang
builds only on almost all of Userland. Loader and LibTimeZone are
exempt. This can be used for generating code coverage reports, or even
PGO in the future.
Before, we wouldn't enable virtualization on Windows anymore unless
SERENITY_VIRTUALIZATION_SUPPORT was set explicitly. As far as we know,
there's no automatic way of detecting whether WHPX is enabled or not. So
we'll just enable virtualization on Windows by default, and if that
doesn't work the user can still disable it manually with
SERENITY_VIRTUALIZATION_SUPPORT=0.
Various Clang binaries are now considered when choosing the compiler for
Lagom.
The selection precedence is as follows:
1. Use the compiler set via CC/CXX if it's a supported version
2. Use newest available GCC if it's supported
3. Use newest available Clang if it's supported
Note that Apple Clang is still not supported, as its versioning scheme
and the fact that it masquerades as both GCC and Clang would complicate
this logic even more.
Fixes#12253
The LLVM patch has been broken up into smaller commits and moved to a
separate directory. CI should look at this new location to determine if
the toolchain needs to be rebuilt.
Besides a version bump, the following changes have been made to our
toolchain infrastructure:
- LLVM/Clang is now built with -march=native if the host compiler
supports it. An exception to this is CI, as the toolchain cache is
shared among many different machines there.
- The LLVM tarball is not re-extracted if the hash of the applied
patches doesn't differ.
- The patches have been split up into atomic chunks.
- Port-specific patches have been integrated into the main patches,
which will aid in the work towards self-hosting.
- <sysroot>/usr/local/lib is now appended to the linker's search path by
default.
- --pack-dyn-relocs=relr is appended to the linker command line by
default, meaning ports take advantage of RELR relocations without any
patches or additional compiler flags.
The formatting of LLVM port's package.sh has been bothering me, so I
also indented the arguments to the CMake invocation.
Previously, we were sending Buffers to the server whenever we had new
audio data for it. This meant that for every audio enqueue action, we
needed to create a new shared memory anonymous buffer, send that
buffer's file descriptor over IPC (+recfd on the other side) and then
map the buffer into the audio server's memory to be able to play it.
This was fine for sending large chunks of audio data, like when playing
existing audio files. However, in the future we want to move to
real-time audio in some applications like Piano. This means that the
size of buffers that are sent need to be very small, as just the size of
a buffer itself is part of the audio latency. If we were to try
real-time audio with the existing system, we would run into problems
really quickly. Dealing with a continuous stream of new anonymous files
like the current audio system is rather expensive, as we need Kernel
help in multiple places. Additionally, every enqueue incurs an IPC call,
which are not optimized for >1000 calls/second (which would be needed
for real-time audio with buffer sizes of ~40 samples). So a fundamental
change in how we handle audio sending in userspace is necessary.
This commit moves the audio sending system onto a shared single producer
circular queue (SSPCQ) (introduced with one of the previous commits).
This queue is intended to live in shared memory and be accessed by
multiple processes at the same time. It was specifically written to
support the audio sending case, so e.g. it only supports a single
producer (the audio client). Now, audio sending follows these general
steps:
- The audio client connects to the audio server.
- The audio client creates a SSPCQ in shared memory.
- The audio client sends the SSPCQ's file descriptor to the audio server
with the set_buffer() IPC call.
- The audio server receives the SSPCQ and maps it.
- The audio client signals start of playback with start_playback().
- At the same time:
- The audio client writes its audio data into the shared-memory queue.
- The audio server reads audio data from the shared-memory queue(s).
Both sides have additional before-queue/after-queue buffers, depending
on the exact application.
- Pausing playback is just an IPC call, nothing happens to the buffer
except that the server stops reading from it until playback is
resumed.
- Muting has nothing to do with whether audio data is read or not.
- When the connection closes, the queues are unmapped on both sides.
This should already improve audio playback performance in a bunch of
places.
Implementation & commit notes:
- Audio loaders don't create LegacyBuffers anymore. LegacyBuffer is kept
for WavLoader, see previous commit message.
- Most intra-process audio data passing is done with FixedArray<Sample>
or Vector<Sample>.
- Improvements to most audio-enqueuing applications. (If necessary I can
try to extract some of the aplay improvements.)
- New APIs on LibAudio/ClientConnection which allows non-realtime
applications to enqueue audio in big chunks like before.
- Removal of status APIs from the audio server connection for
information that can be directly obtained from the shared queue.
- Split the pause playback API into two APIs with more intuitive names.
I know this is a large commit, and you can kinda tell from the commit
message. It's basically impossible to break this up without hacks, so
please forgive me. These are some of the best changes to the audio
subsystem and I hope that that makes up for this :yaktangle: commit.
:yakring:
This new class with an admittedly long OOP-y name provides a circular
queue in shared memory. The queue is a lock-free synchronous queue
implemented with atomics, and its implementation is significantly
simplified by only accounting for one producer (and multiple consumers).
It is intended to be used as a producer-consumer communication
datastructure across processes. The original motivation behind this
class is efficient short-period transfer of audio data in userspace.
This class includes formal proofs of several correctness properties of
the main queue operations `enqueue` and `dequeue`. These proofs are not
100% complete in their existing form as the invariants they depend on
are "handwaved". This seems fine to me right now, as any proof is better
than no proof :^). Anyways, the proofs should build confidence that the
implemented algorithms, which are only roughly based on existing work,
operate correctly in even the worst-case concurrency scenarios.
Each LibGL test can now be tested against a reference QOI image.
Initially, these images can be generated by setting `SAVE_OUTPUT` to
`true`, which will save a bunch of QOI images to `/home/anon`.
Similar reasoning to making Core::Stream::read() return Bytes, except
that every user of read_line() creates a StringView from the result, so
let's just return one right away.
A mistake I've repeatedly made is along these lines:
```c++
auto nread = TRY(source_file->read(buffer));
TRY(destination_file->write(buffer));
```
It's a little clunky to have to create a Bytes or StringView from the
buffer's data pointer and the nread, and easy to forget and just use
the buffer. So, this patch changes the read() function to return a
Bytes of the data that were just read.
The other read_foo() methods will be modified in the same way in
subsequent commits.
Fixes#13687
Alias values are represented by "alias-name=real-name".
We have a lot of repetitive code for converting between ValueID and
property-specific enums. Let's see if we can generate it. :^)
This first step just produces the enums, from a JSON file. The values in
there are a duplication of what's in Properties.json, but eventually
those will go away.
The goal here is to move the parser-internal classes into this namespace
so they can have more convenient names without causing collisions. The
Parser itself won't collide, and would be more convenient to just
remain `CSS::Parser`, but having a namespace and a class with the same
name makes C++ unhappy.
The fnmatch patch that was added in 6de6dff is reverted because it is
not clear why it is necessary, as discussed in #9206.
This also removes diffutils from the list of ports missing descriptions
as it no longer has any patches.
Instead of downloading nearly 20 files individually, we can download a
single .zip file similar to how we download a single CLDR .zip. This is
to reduce the number of connections/downloads to/from unicode.org.
This adds the is_primitive() method as described in the Web IDL
specification. is_primitive() returns true if the type is a bigint,
boolean or numeric type.
This is in Tests/LibTTF instead of Tests/LibGfx because Tests/LibGfx
depends on serenity's file system layout and can't run in lagom,
but this new test runs just fine in lagom.
