Originally I simply thought that passing file paths is quite OK, but as
Linus pointed to, it turned out that passing file paths to ensure some
files are able to be decoded is awkward because it does not work with
images being served over HTTP.
Therefore, ideally we should just use the MIME type as an optional
argument to ensure that we can always fallback to use that in case
sniffing for the correct image type has failed so we can still detect
files like with the TGA format, which has no magic bytes.
Because TGA images don't have magic bytes as a signature to be detected,
instead assume a sequence of ReadonlyBytes is a possible TGA image only
if we are given a path so we could check the extension of the file and
see if it's a TGA image.
When we know the path of the file being loaded, we will try to first
check its extension, and only if there's no match to a known decoder,
based on simple extension lookup, then we would probe for other formats
as usual with the normal sniffing method.
This change unfortunately cannot be atomically made without a single
commit changing everything.
Most of the important changes are in LibIPC/Connection.cpp,
LibIPC/ServerConnection.cpp and LibCore/LocalServer.cpp.
The notable changes are:
- IPCCompiler now generates the decode and decode_message functions such
that they take a Core::Stream::LocalSocket instead of the socket fd.
- IPC::Decoder now uses the receive_fd method of LocalSocket instead of
doing system calls directly on the fd.
- IPC::ConnectionBase and related classes now use the Stream API
functions.
- IPC::ServerConnection no longer constructs the socket itself; instead,
a convenience macro, IPC_CLIENT_CONNECTION, is used in place of
C_OBJECT and will generate a static try_create factory function for
the ServerConnection subclass. The subclass is now responsible for
passing the socket constructed in this function to its
ServerConnection base; the socket is passed as the first argument to
the constructor (as a NonnullOwnPtr<Core::Stream::LocalServer>) before
any other arguments.
- The functionality regarding taking over sockets from SystemServer has
been moved to LibIPC/SystemServerTakeover.cpp. The Core::LocalSocket
implementation of this functionality hasn't been deleted due to my
intention of removing this class in the near future and to reduce
noise on this (already quite noisy) PR.
Previously you could pass anything (e.g a text file) to ImageDecoder and
it would "succeed" in decoding it and give you back a 0-frame result.
Let's consider that state a failure instead.

The overhead from spawning a new ImageDecoder for every decoding job is
way too large and causing other problems as well (#5421)
Let's keep the same decoder open and reuse it as long as it's working.
If the ImageDecoder service crashes while decoding an image for us,
we now recover gracefully and simply return null.
This shields the browser from bugs in our image decoders.
The PIDs were used for sharing shbufs between processes, but now that
we have migrated to file descriptor passing, we no longer need to know
the PID of the other side.
The ImageDecoder service now returns a list of image frames, each with
a duration value.
The code for in-process image decoding is removed from LibWeb, an all
image decode requests are sent out-of-process to ImageDecoder. :^)
This won't scale super well to very long and/or large animations, but
we can work on improving that separately. The main goal here is simply
to stop doing any image decoding inside LibWeb.
Fixes#5165.
