And adjust some GML properties. Since a808cfa, splitters grow
opportunistically. Setting them to fixed sizes now quite literally
fixes them in place. Fixes immovable splitters missed in the
aforementioned commit.
Before of this patch, we supported two methods to address a boot device:
1. Specifying root=/dev/hdXY, where X is a-z letter which corresponds to
a boot device, and Y as number from 1 to 16, to indicate the partition
number, which can be omitted to instruct the kernel to use a raw device
rather than a partition on a raw device.
2. Specifying root=PARTUUID: with a GUID string of a GUID partition. In
case of existing storage device with GPT partitions, this is most likely
the safest option to ensure booting from persistent storage.
While option 2 is more advanced and reliable, the first option has 2
caveats:
1. The string prefix "/dev/hd" doesn't mean anything beside a convention
on Linux installations, that was taken into use in Serenity. In Serenity
we don't mount DevTmpFS before we mount the boot device on /, so the
kernel doesn't really access /dev anyway, so this convention is only a
big misleading relic that can easily make the user to assume we access
/dev early on boot.
2. This convention although resemble the simple linux convention, is
quite limited in specifying a correct boot device across hardware setup
changes, so option 2 was recommended to ensure the system is always
bootable.
With these caveats in mind, this commit tries to fix the problem with
adding more addressing options as well as to remove the first option
being mentioned above of addressing.
To sum it up, there are 4 addressing options:
1. Hardware relative address - Each instance of StorageController is
assigned with a index number relative to the type of hardware it handles
which makes it possible to address storage devices with a prefix of the
commandset ("ata" for ATA, "nvme" for NVMe, "ramdisk" for Plain memory),
and then the number for the parent controller relative hardware index,
another number LUN target_id, and a third number for LUN disk_id.
2. LUN address - Similar to the previous option, but instead we rely on
the parent controller absolute index for the first number.
3. Block device major and minor numbers - by specifying the major and
minor numbers, the kernel can simply try to get the corresponding block
device and use it as the boot device.
4. GUID string, in the same fashion like before, so the user use the
"PARTUUID:" string prefix and add the GUID of the GPT partition.
For the new address modes 1 and 2, the user can choose to also specify a
partition out of the selected boot device. To do that, the user needs to
append the semicolon character and then add the string "partX" where X
is to be changed for the partition number. We start counting from 0, and
therefore the first partition number is 0 and not 1 in the kernel boot
argument.
Previously, for a regex such as /[a-sy-z]/i, we would incorrectly think
the character "u" fell into the range "a-s" because neither of the
conditions "u > s && U > s" or "u < a && U < a" would be true, resulting
in the lookup falling back to assuming the character is in the range.
Instead, first explicitly check if the character falls into the range,
rather than checking if it falls outside the range. If the explicit
checks fail, then we know the character is outside the range.
The Quake 3 port makes use of this extension to determine a more
efficient multitexturing strategy. Since LibSoftGPU supports it, let's
report the extension in LibGL. :^)
On Arch Linux, the build was picking up the system libsamplerate, which
is undesirable. Unlikely that it is needed on Serenity, so disabling it
is a good workaround.
Instead of hardcoding all the property definitions in GlobalObject's
initialize() function, make it the standalone AO it is supposed to be
that can then be used by other global objects that don't inherit from
JS::GlobalObject.
This will later allow global objects not inheriting from the regular
JS::GlobalObject to pull in these functions without having to implement
them from scratch. The primary use case here is, again, a wrapper-less
HTML::Window in LibWeb :^)
Allocating these upfront now allows us to get rid of two hacks:
- The GlobalObject assigning Intrinsics private members after finishing
its initialization
- The GlobalObject defining the parseInt and parseFloat properties of
the NumberConstructor object, as they are supposed to be identical
with the global functions of the same name
This removes the requirement of having a global object that actually
inherits from JS::GlobalObject, which is now a perfectly valid scenario.
With the upcoming removal of wrapper objects in LibWeb, the HTML::Window
object will inherit from DOM::EventTarget, which means it cannot also
inherit from JS::GlobalObject.
The object is passed directly to NewObjectEnvironment, which has no
requirement for this being a JS::GlobalObject. This is needed for the
next change, which will make Realm store a plain Object as for the
global object as well.
This will allow us to move the underlying console from GlobalObject to
ConsoleObject without still having to do a 'console' property lookup on
the GlobalObject.
The current lookup code and emoji.txt generator expects codepoints to
not include leading zeros. This may change in the future, but it's worth
enforcing the current convention until then.
This was too restrictive and there are already UI elements that rely
on this behavior. Now Blocking modals will preempt interaction with
all windows in their modal chain except those descending from them.
Fixes crashing in FilePicker when permission is denied.
Just like tiling behavior during ongoing moves, now resizing
does not finish until a MouseUp event, letting you drag out of
undesired tile states. Resize tiling only works with vertical
and horizontal cursors now to cut down on unintentional tiling
from the corners.
Now they can be dismissed by clicking anywhere outside themselves,
including on their parent windows. This is a better default for
them since they don't have title bars to flash, and it's more
consistent with other frameless windows in the system.
The GLib repository contains several submodules which is part of the
build process, but the source code for these submodule is not part of
the Source code tarball generated by Gitlab. Switching to download the
Release tarball from download.gnome.org solves this issue. It first
became apparent in version 2.73.x.

This reworks the way the UHCI schedule is set up to handle interrupt
transfers, creating 11 queue heads each assigned a different
period/latency, so that interrupt transfers can be linked into the
schedule with their specified period more easily.
