The BootFramebufferConsole class maps the framebuffer using the
MemoryManager, so to be able to draw the logo, we need to get this
mapped framebuffer. This commit adds a unsafe API for that.
The MemoryManager now works, so we can use the same code as on x86 to
map the framebuffer. Since it uses the MemoryManager, the initialization
of the BootFramebufferConsole has to happen after the MemoryManager is
working.
The BootFramebufferConsole highly depends on using the m_lock spinlock,
therefore setting and changing the cursor state should be done under
that spinlock too to avoid crashing.
Only the Console code in the Graphics directory should be able to call
on these methods. The set_cursor method stays public as VirtualConsole
uses that method to change the cursor position.
The AHCI code doesn't rely on x86 IO at all as it only uses memory
mapped IO so we can simply remove the header.
We also simply don't use x86 IO in the Intel graphics driver, so we can
simply remove the include of the x86 IO header there too.
Everything else was a bunch of stale includes to the x86 IO header and
are actually not necessary, so let's remove them to make it easier to
compile non-x86 Kernel builds.
Until now, our kernel has reimplemented a number of AK classes to
provide automatic internal locking:
- RefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr
- WeakPtr
- Weakable
This patch renames the Kernel classes so that they can coexist with
the original AK classes:
- RefPtr => LockRefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr => NonnullLockRefPtr
- WeakPtr => LockWeakPtr
- Weakable => LockWeakable
The goal here is to eventually get rid of the Lock* classes in favor of
using external locking.
Instead of having two separate implementations of AK::RefCounted, one
for userspace and one for kernelspace, there is now RefCounted and
AtomicRefCounted.
All users which relied on the default constructor use a None lock rank
for now. This will make it easier to in the future remove LockRank and
actually annotate the ranks by searching for None.
We should not allocate a kernel region inside the constructor of the
VGATextModeConsole class. We do use MUST() because allocation cannot
fail at this point, but that happens in the static factory method
instead.
The original intention was to support other types of consoles based on
standard VGA modes, but it never came to an implementation, nor we need
such feature at all.
Therefore, this class is not needed and can be removed.
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
We never supported VGA framebuffers and that folder was a big misleading
part of the graphics subsystem.
We do support bare-bones VGA text console (80x25), but that only happens
to be supported because we can't be 100% sure we can always initialize
framebuffer so in the worst scenario we default to plain old VGA console
so the user can still use its own machine.
Therefore, the only remaining parts of VGA is in the GraphicsManagement
code to help driving the VGA text console if needed.
- Remove some magic numbers
- Remove some duplicate branches
- Reduce the amount of casting between u8* and u32*
- Some renaming of confusing variables
This in turn makes the built-in kernel console much more nicer to look
into, so let's remove the support for 8x8 bitmap and instead add 8x16
font bitmap.
This helps solving an issue when we boot with text mode screen so the
Kernel initializes an early text mode console, but even after disabling
it, that console can still access VGA ports. This wouldn't be a problem
for emulated hardware but bare metal hardware might have a "conflict",
especially if the native driver explicitly request to disable the VGA
emulation.
Instead of winging it with "width * 4", use the actual pitch since it
may be different.
This makes the kernel text console show up in native 1368x768 on my
ThinkPad X250. :^)
Not sure how it's useful to do so, let's not assert if something tries
to disable it. If we will use TextModeConsole as a boot console, that
console will be disabled after loading an appropriate console to replace
it.
Instead, we can construct this type of object without having to
instantiate a VGACompatibleAdapter object first.
This can help instantiate such console very early on boot to aid debug
issues on bare metal hardware.
Instead of seeing a black screen until GraphicsManagement was fully
initialized, this allows us to see the console output much earlier.
So, if the bootloader provided us with a framebuffer, set up a console
as early as possible.
The GenericFramebufferConsoleImpl class implements the logic without
taking into account any other details such as synchronization. The
GenericFramebufferConsole class then is a simple wrapper around
GenericFramebufferConsoleImpl that takes care of synchronization.
This allows us to re-use this implementation with e.g. different
synchronization schemes.
Apparently there was a wrong calculation result when we sent parameters
from TextModeConsole::clear_vga_row method - and we should stick to the
x, y mechanism of the clear method instead of doing the same calculation
which made it to happen twice actually.
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.
The default template argument is only used in one place, and it
looks like it was probably just an oversight. The rest of the Kernel
code all uses u8 as the type. So lets make that the default and remove
the unused template argument, as there doesn't seem to be a reason to
allow the size to be customizable.
These functions are only used from within `dbgln_if` calls, so in
certain build configurations, they go unused. Similarly to variables, we
now signal to the compiler that we understand that these are not always
in use.
Currently, Kernel::Graphics::FramebufferConsole is written assuming that
the underlying framebuffer memory exists in physically contiguous
memory. There are a bunch of framebuffer devices that would need to use
the components of FramebufferConsole (in particular access to the kernel
bitmap font rendering logic). To reduce code duplication, framebuffer
console has been split into two parts, the abstract
GenericFramebufferConsole class which does the rendering, and the
ContiguousFramebufferConsole class which contains all logic related to
managing the underling vm object.
Also, a new flush method has been added to the class, to support devices
that require an extra flush step to render.
