cores
* Only keep a single core online most of the time.
* Device: Add an enableCPUCores method to allow controlling the amount of
online CPU cores.
* Move the initial core onlining setup to Kobo:init, instead of the startup script.
* Enable two CPU cores while hinting new (e.g., cache miss) pages in PDF land.
* Enable two CPU cores while processing book metadata.
* Drive-by fix to isolate the DocCache pressure check to KoptInterface
and actually apply it when it matters most (e.g., k2pdfopt stuff).
* TimeVal: Log the results of the COARSE probes in debug logs
* GestureDetector: Print details of failed clock probes in debug logs
* GestureDetector: Skip the BOOTTIME probe when CLOCK_BOOTTIME is unsupported.
* Input: Decode ABS_DISTANCE events in debug logs
* Get rid of duplicated <linux/input.h> constants, use the FFI module everywhere (re #7536)
* Kobo: Get rid of the `touch_alyssum_protocol` quirk. Replace it by setting `main_finger_slot` to `1`, like on the H2O.
Requires https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1344 & https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1346 (fix#7485)
Assorted input fixes:
* Actually handle errors in the "there's a callback timer" input polling loop.
* Don't break timerfd when the clock probe was inconclusive.
Not directly related, but noticed because of duplicate onInputEvent handlers:
* HookContainer: Fix deregistration to actually deregister properly. "Regression" extant since its inception in #2933 (!).
* Made sure the three plugins (basically the trio of AutoThingies ;p) that were using HookContainer actually unschedule their task on teardown.
* Actually load librt properly on old Linux systems (fix#7472)
* Made sure SDL & Android honored timeouts properly in some edgy (or not so edgy, in SDL's case) cases (c.f., https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1343).
* Try harder not to consume a timer callback when the timerfd backend is in use and `select` timed out *not* because of a timerfd expiring. This would take some particularly heinous timing to reproduce (e.g., a timerfd set, but a task deadline expiring *before* it). May or may not help with #7473.
* Decode `BTN_` KEY codes in verbose debug logs.
* Fix MultiTouch on the H2O (GestureDetector was hard-coding the two slots as 0 & 1, but the H2O kernel is a special snowflake that doesn't use slot 0, instead switching to slot 1 & 2).
* Unify logging with AutoSuspend (e.g., keep ourselves to showing the delay in seconds, not the raw timestamp, as that's way harder to interpret, and the RTC module and/or logger will do that for us when the time comes).
* Speaking of, minor revamp of RTC related logging to make it more human-readable.
* On Kobo, if we hit the unexpected wakeup limit, re-engage AutoSuspend's *suspend* check, so that the device has a chance to poweroff instead of being kept awake.
* Hold "Wi-Fi connection" to show network connection options.
* Honor backend connections (e.g., if wpa_supplicant found a matching AP in its own config first).
* When user clicks "Wi-Fi connection" in menu, only prompt if state is ambiguous.
* LuaSettings/DocSettings: Updated readSetting API to allow proper initialization to default.
Use it to initialize tables, e.g., fixing corner-cases in readerFooter that could prevent settings from being saved.
(Fixes an issue reported on Gitter).
* LuaSettings/DocSettings: Add simpler API than the the flip* ones to toggle boolean settings.
* Update LuaSettings/DocSettigns usage throughout the codebase to use the dedicated boolean methods wher appropriate, and clean up some of the more mind-bending uses.
* FileChooser: Implement an extended default exclusion list (fix#2360)
* ScreenSaver: Refactor to avoid the pile of kludges this was threatening to become. Code should be easier to follow and use, and fallbacks now behave as expected (fix#4418).
* Warn on restart if the startup script has been updated, because a restart will not reload it.
* Also warn right after the update if it contained a startup script update...
* Fix initial tap on the H2O
There's no slot 0, so make sure the initialState doesn't get confused by input's init data that otherwise assumes the main slot is 0
On devices where the event time is the uptime (time since
boot), we don't need to trash it and use TimeVal:now()
and lose precision. We can still use these times for
relative delays and durations computations, which is
mostly all we use them for.
We just need a real clock time in GestureDetector for
two timers (long-press and double tap), where we do
the event time type detection on the first event, on
all devices.
* In icons mode, just use two different icons to display Wi-Fi status
* Enable Wi-Fi status icon on Kobo & Cervantes, too
* Refresh footer on (dis)connect if the Wi-Fi status item is enabled
CBB now handles nightmode correctly (by deferring to Lua), so we no longer
need to do monkey dances about disabling it when hw invert is missing.
canUseCBB cap is resolved by generic device re-configuring blitbuffer
on the go, so as to avoid repeating the same thing in every device driver.
The dev setting can now flip cbb on the go, so one can gloat at the near
meaningless perf difference - 2Mp draw is 15ms Lua / 10ms C on 1GHz Cortex A7.
* Revamped most actions that require an internet connection to a new/fixed backend that allows forwarding the initial action and running it automatically once connected. (i.e., it'll allow you to set "Action when Wi-Fi is off" to "turn_on", and whatch stuff connect and do what you wanted automatically without having to re-click anywhere instead of showing you a Wi-Fi prompt and then not doing anything without any other feedback).
* Speaking of, fixed the "turn_on" beforeWifi action to, well, actually work. It's no longer marked as experimental.
* Consistently use "Wi-Fi" everywhere.
* On Kobo/Cervantes/Sony, implemented a "Kill Wi-Fi connection when inactive" system that will automatically disconnect from Wi-Fi after sustained *network* inactivity (i.e., you can keep reading, it'll eventually turn off on its own). This should be smart and flexible enough not to murder Wi-Fi while you need it, while still not keeping it uselessly on and murdering your battery.
(i.e., enable that + turn Wi-Fi on when off and enjoy never having to bother about Wi-Fi ever again).
* Made sending `NetworkConnected` / `NetworkDisconnected` events consistent (they were only being sent... sometimes, which made relying on 'em somewhat problematic).
* restoreWifiAsync is now only run when really needed (i.e., we no longer stomp on an existing working connection just for the hell of it).
* We no longer attempt to kill a bogus non-existent Wi-Fi connection when going to suspend, we only do it when it's actually needed.
* Every method of enabling Wi-Fi will now properly tear down Wi-Fi on failure, instead of leaving it in an undefined state.
* Fixed an issue in the fancy crash screen on Kobo/reMarkable that could sometime lead to the log excerpt being missing.
* Worked-around a number of sneaky issues related to low-level Wi-Fi/DHCP/DNS handling on Kobo (see the lengthy comments [below](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/6424#issuecomment-663881059) for details). Fix#6421
Incidentally, this should also fix the inconsistencies experienced re: Wi-Fi behavior in Nickel when toggling between KOReader and Nickel (use NM/KFMon, and run a current FW for best results).
* For developers, this involves various cleanups around NetworkMgr and NetworkListener. Documentation is in-line, above the concerned functions.
* Allow locking the gyro to the current screen mode (i.e., orientation).
* Tweak the "sticky rota" option to work both ways
* More rotation constant usage instead of magic numbers
* generic Device:info() function which returns the model
* add Device:canSuspend() and make it true in all devices that have suspend routines and the emulator
* also enable fake poweroff/reboot on the emulator
* add Device.home_dir
* add Device:hasExitOptions() and update menus & comments
This commit standardizes the various todos around the code a bit in a manner recognized by LDoc.
Besides drawing more attention by being displayed in the developer docs, they're also extractable with LDoc on the command line:
```sh
ldoc --tags todo,fixme *.lua
```
However, whether that particular usage offers any advantage over other search tools is questionable at best.
* and some random beautification
* Make toggling Gyro events more robust
Actually ask to turn it on/off depending on the setting, instead of a
blind toggle
A quick succession of suspend/resume events could otherwise leave it
in an unexpected state (i.e., off when it should have been on).
Either at all, or because it would impose reduced functionality.
Meaning:
* On 4bpp fb, because those are completely unsupported by the C BB
* On 24bpp fb, because it has limited support for that target format (no alpha blending).
* On 8bpp Linux eInk fb with an inverted palette (that's basically only the K4 ;)).
* On Linux eInk devices w/ no HW inversion support, as that would render NightMode inoperable.
That last point means that it's currently *always* blacklisted on PocketBook, because I don't have a PB device, so I don't know how safe HW inversion would be, meaning none of them are marked as being HW invert capable.
(I was a tiny bit hasty with https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/912 ;).)
Companion PR to https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/884
* Basically flags devices known to be stable when using PxP inversion.
* Plus, random fix for #4870 ;).
* A few FrontLight tweaks & cleanups on Kobo:
* Moved the Kobo-specific startup status insanity to Kobo-specific init
* Made turnOff/turnOn frontlight do a smooth ramp down/up
* On Kobo, use turnOff/turnOn for suspend/resume, to get that smooth toggle
* On Kobo, for NaturalLight w/ a mixer, only set warmth for setWarmth, and only set Brightness for setBrightness, otherwise, it tried to set both with not in-sync values, which made the FL widget jittery.
