This creates platform-dependent monitors to detect when the system time
zone changes. On Linux, we use a file watcher to monitor files such as
/etc/localtime for changes. On macOS, this uses CFNotificationCenter to
be notified by the OS when the time zone changes.
Note: the macOS implementation requires running in a process which is
running the CoreFoundation event loop. Both the AppKit and Qt chromes
are doing so in the UI process, but this means we cannot run this
monitor in the WebContent process.
When asked to monitor a file (not a directory), we often need to instead
monitor the parent directory to receive FS events. For example, when a
symbolic link is deleted/created, we don't receive any events unless we
are watching the parent.
The monitored files can be internally removed by inotify. If we then try
to explicitly remove them, the inotify_rm_watch call will fail. We do
this when the file is deleted and we receive an IN_DELETE event. This
ensures we clean up the monitored files.
According to the inotify man page, this event is always generated after
a IN_DELETE, which we separately handle. Just ignore IN_IGNORED events
to avoid spamming stderr.
If no header includes the prototype of a function, then it cannot be
used from outside the translation unit it was defined in. In that case,
it should be marked as `static`, in order to avoid possible ODR
problems, unnecessary exported symbols, and allow the compiler to better
optimize those.
If this warning triggers in a function defined in a header, `inline`
needs to be added, otherwise if the header is included in more than one
TU, it will fail to link with a duplicate definition error.
The reason this diff got so big is that Lagom-only code wasn't built
with this flag even in Serenity times.
This commit replaces all TLS connection code with wolfssl.
The certificate parsing code has to remain for now, as wolfssl does not
seem to have any exposed API for that.
Skia now uses GPU-accelerated painting on Linux if Vulkan is available.
Most of the performance gain is currently negated by reading the GPU
backend back into RAM to pass it to the Browser process. In the future,
this could be improved by sharing GPU-allocated memory across the
Browser and WebContent processes.
This large commit also refactors LibWebView's process handling to use
a top-level Application class that uses a new WebView::Process class to
encapsulate the IPC-centric nature of each helper process.
If Metal context and IOSurface are available, Skia painter will use
Ganesh GPU backend on macOS, which is noticeably faster than the default
CPU backend.
Painting pipeline:
1. (WebContent) Allocate IOSurface for backing store
2. (WebContent) Allocate MTLTexture that wraps IOSurface
3. (WebContent) Paint into MTLTexture using Skia
4. (Browser) Wrap IOSurface into Gfx::Painter and use
QPainter/CoreGraphics to blit backing store into viewport.
Things we should improve in the future:
1. Upload textures for images in advance instead of doing that before
every repaint.
2. Teach AppKit client to read directly from IOSurface instead of
copying.
The changes to tests are due to LibTimeZone incorrectly interpreting
time stamps in the TZDB. The TZDB will list zone transitions in either
UTC or the zone's local time (which is then subject to DST offsets).
LibTimeZone did not handle the latter at all.
For example:
The following rule is in effect until November 18, 6PM UTC.
America/Chicago -5:50:36 - LMT 1883 Nov 18 18:00u
The following rule is in effect until March 1, 2AM in Chicago time. But
at that time, a DST transition occurs, so the local time is actually
3AM.
America/Chicago -6:00 Chicago C%sT 1936 Mar 1 2:00
This required updating some LibJS spec steps to their latest versions,
as the data expected by the old steps does not quite match the APIs that
are available with the ICU. The new spec steps are much more aligned.
Using mmap-allocated memory for backing stores does not allow us to
benefit from using GPU-accelerated painting, because all the performance
increase we get is mostly negated by reading the GPU-allocated texture
back into RAM, so it can be shared with the browser process.
With IOSurface, we get a framebuffer that is both shareable between
processes and can be used as underlying memory for an OpenGL/Metal
texture.
This change does not yet benefit from using IOSurface and merely wraps
them into Gfx::Bitmap to be used by the CPU painter.
We only need LibCoreMinimal for the lagom-tools build. In particular, by
removing LibUnicode, we remove the lagom-tools dependence on the system
ICU package, as we do not have vcpkg hooked into this build. (We could
probably add vcpkg here, but since this libraries aren't even needed, we
don't need to bother).
Instead of using a HashMap<ByteString, ByteString, CaseInsensitive...>
everywhere, we now encapsulate this in a class.
Even better, the new class also allows keeping track of multiple headers
with the same name! This will make it possible for HTTP responses to
actually retain all their headers on the perilous journey from
RequestServer to LibWeb.
FreeBSD and NetBSD don't have secure_getenv(3), same as macOS.
FreeBSD 13 and lower also don't allow setting environ pointers to null.

This reverts commit a362c37c8b.
The commit tried to add an unused function that continued our tradition
of not properly waiting for things but instead flooding event loop with
condition checks that delay firing of the event. I think this is a
fundamentally flawed approach. See also checks for
`fire_when_not_visible` in LibCore/EventLoopImplementationUnix.cpp.
