* ReaderImplBase:
- Add virtual CreateCachedHeapReader() which can create a cached
reader based on the given heap reader.
- Rename HeapReader() to RawHeapReader() and add HeapReader() for the
cached heap reader.
- Add DetachHeapReader() to allow a clients to remove the heap
reader(s) after deleting the ReaderImplBase object.
* packagefs:
- Add CachedDataReader class, which wraps a given
BAbstractBufferedDataReader and provides caching for it using a
VMCache. The implementation is based on the IOCache implementation.
- Use CachedDataReader to wrap the heap reader. For file data that
means they are cached twice -- in the heap reader cache and in the
file cache -- but due to the heap reader using a VMCache as well,
the pages will be recycled automatically anyway. For attribute data
the cache should be very helpful, since they weren't cached at all
before.
* Add flags parameter to Init() of BPackageReader and friends.
* Introduce flag B_HPKG_READER_DONT_PRINT_VERSION_MISMATCH_MESSAGE and
don't print a version mismatch error when given.
* package extract/list: Use the new flag.
* Add new package haiku_loader.hpkg and move haiku_loader there. The
package is built without compression, so that the stage 1 boot loader
has a chance of loading it.
* Adjust the stage 1 boot loader to load the haiku_loader package and
relocate the boot loader code accordingly.
Instead of handling compression for individual file/attribute data we
do now compress the whole heap where they are stored. This
significantly improves compression ratios. We still divide the
uncompressed data into 64 KiB chunks and use a chunk offset array for
the compressed chunks to allow for quick random access without too much
overhead. The tradeoff is a limited possible compression ratio -- i.e.
we won't be as good as tar.gz (though surprisingly with my test
archives we did better than zip).
The other package file sections (package attributes and TOC) are no
longer compressed individually. Their uncompressed data are simply
pushed onto the heap where the usual compression strategy applies. To
simplify things the repository format has been changed in the same
manner although it doesn't otherwise use the heap, since it only stores
meta data.
Due to the data compression having been exposed in public and private
API, this change touches a lot of package kit using code, including
packagefs and the boot loader packagefs support. The latter two haven't
been tested yet. Moreover packagefs needs a new kind of cache so we
avoid re-reading the same heap chunk for two different data items it
contains.
* Add optional packages Zlib and Zlib-devel.
* Simplify the build feature section for zlib and also extract the
source package.
* Replace all remaining references to the zlib instance in the tree and
remove it.
Casting the difference of the two off_t values to size_t may truncate
the result. Doing so before the comparison will therefore break it.
Instead cast the size to off_t to get around the signed versus unsigned
integer expression comparison and then cast the result of the comparison
to size_t again. Should fix #9714.
This reverts commit f7176b0ee50d5367762d904a943a693b0a8e3e2f. Citing Ingo:
"off_t is the correct type to use for addressing pages in a cache/file,
which page_num_t should only be used for physical pages." I'll see how to
fix the GCC 4.7 warnings differently :)
* error message: error: cannot bind packed field
'args->kernel_args::platform_args.platform_kernel_args::apm' to 'apm_info&'
* the reason would be that the reference doesn't have alignment information anymore.
* changed the reference to const for read access, and use the long form for setting a field.
- Instead of implicitly registering and unregistering a service
instance on construction/destruction, DefaultNotificationService
now exports explicit Register()/Unregister() calls, which subclasses
are expected to call when they're ready.
- Adjust all implementing subclasses. Resolves an issue with deadlocks
when booting a DEBUG=1 build.
* Add "bool kernel" parameter to vfs_entry_ref_to_path(), so it can be
specified for which I/O context the entry ref shall be translated.
* _user_entry_ref_to_path(): Use the calling team's I/O context instead
of the kernel's. Fixes the bug that in a chroot the syscall would
return a path for outside the chroot.
* make runtime_loader a dynammically linked object
* add kernel support for loading user images that need to be relocated
* load runtime_loader at random address
Currently there are two generators. The fast one is the same one the scheduler
is using. The standard one is the same algorithm libroot's rand() uses. Should
there be a need for more cryptographically PRNG MD4 or MD5 might be a good
candidates.
