* Wireless: Optimize memory usage in StreamMessageQueue (use an array of string ropes, that we only concatenate once). Allowed to relax the throttling, making transfers that much faster.
* Persist: Add a "zstd" codec, that uses the "luajit" codec, but compressed via zstd. Since both of those are very fast, it pretty much trounces everything in terms of speed and size ;).
* Persist: Implemented a "writes_to_file" framework, much like the existing "reads_from_file" one. And use it in the zstd codec to avoid useless temporary string interning.
* Metadata: Switch to the zstd codec.
There have been a couple of these this month, and keeping stuff that should only ever run once piling up in their respective module was getting ugly, especially when it's usually simple stuff (settings, files).
So, move everything to a dedicated module, run by reader.lua on startup, and that will actually only do things once, when necessary.
* 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.
The Wacom pen reports sane CLOCK_REALTIME timestamps, but the Touchscreen reports timestamps frozen at the boot time ts (in REALTIME) :s.
So, make everyone use synthetic CLOCK_MONOTONIC timestamps in order to make gesture detection behave.
* CalibreMetadata: Get rid of the now useless NULL-hunt: here, this was basically looking for `rapidjson.null` to replace them with... `rapidjson.null` :?. IIRC, that's a remnant of a quirk of the previous JSON parser (possibly even the previous, *previous* JSON parser ^^).
* CalibreSearch: Update the actually relevant NULL-hunt to make it explicit: replace JSON NULLs with Lua nils, instead of relying on an implementation detail of Lua-RapidJSON, because that detail just changed data type ;).
* UIManager: Make sure tasks scheduled during the final ZMQ callback are honored. e.g., the Calibre "Disconnect" handler. This happened to mostly work purely by chance before the event loop rework.
* Calibre: Restore a proper receiveCallback handler after receiving a book, in order not to break the "Disconnect" handler's state (and, well, get a working Disconnect handler, period ^^).
* Calibre: Unbreak metadata cache when it's initialized by a search (regression since #7159).
* Calibre: Handle UTC <-> local time conversions when checking the cache's timestamp against the Calibre metadata timestamp.
* Bump base (Unbreak CRe on Android, update RapidJSON)
Attempting to update a highlight when matching on a bookmark doesn't
make sense, and no longer works since #7411
Also, switch to ipairs(), and stop piggybacking on a new local that
shadows or uses the function's item argument.
It works in Lua, but it's super weird and error-prone.
Fix#7520 (regression since #7411).
Cache's state tracking
Re #7510
Legacy cache has to be deleted in Cache,
*before* the first getDiskCache call.
Reword the "Clear caches" Dev menu entry & callback:
We now have an actual "Restart" action (on most, if not all, platforms).
And we clear the whole cache folder, which may host other things (e.g.,
fontlist)
By which I mean, explicitly initialize default settings, making everything seven hundred billion percent less weird.
Also, split the background option between image and (solo) message, because the defaults for those are different, and trying to twist the one into the other was leading to pure madness.
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.
68a5fcdb moved them a bit to near the top than before,
and it can overlap with CRE rendering progress bar.
Also makes it nicer when multiple notications are stacked.
Generic feature added to TouchMenu: an optional callback
'open_on_menu_item_id_func()' set on an items table can
tell which menu item should be shown when opening a menu.
TouchMenu: allows jumping to first or last page with
long-press on the chevrons.
* Change 'Find a file' to 'File search' for consistency
There is 'File search' in the Gesture manager already.
There is 'Fulltext search' in the readermenu.
Some help text added.
Allows to hide keyboard on start to see more text.
Default is to show keyboard.
Some wordings unification.
`Open file` goes down, closer to the history of opened files.
* 'Lua check' button
* 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).
It appears the fancy split settings from #6885 were not being honored at all.
Also:
* Made sure "pagewidth" is actually the default zoom mode again, "full" had sneaked in as the default state of the zoom type toggle).
* Display human-readable values in the "Make as default" popup, instead of the raw, meaningless numerical setting.
* Disable zoom options when reflow is enabled, and restore 'em properly when it's disabled.

* ReaderDictionary: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* ReaderHighlight: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* ReaderView: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* Android: Reset gesture detection state on APP_CMD_TERM_WINDOW.
This prevents potentially being stuck in bogus gesture states when switching apps.
* GestureDetector:
* Port delay computations to TimeVal
* Fixed delay computations to handle time warps (large and negative deltas).
* Simplified timed callback handling to invalidate timers much earlier, preventing accumulating useless timers that no longer have any chance of ever detecting a gesture.
* Fixed state clearing to handle the actual effective slots, instead of hard-coding slot 0 & slot 1.
* Simplified timed callback handling in general, and added support for a timerfd backend for better performance and accuracy.
* The improved timed callback handling allows us to detect and honor (as much as possible) the three possible clock sources usable by Linux evdev events.
The only case where synthetic timestamps are used (and that only to handle timed callbacks) is limited to non-timerfd platforms where input events use
a clock source that is *NOT* MONOTONIC.
AFAICT, that's pretty much... PocketBook, and that's it?
* Input:
* Use the <linux/input.h> FFI module instead of re-declaring every constant
* Fixed (verbose) debug logging of input events to actually translate said constants properly.
* Completely reset gesture detection state on suspend. This should prevent bogus gesture detection on resume.
* Refactored the waitEvent loop to make it easier to comprehend (hopefully) and much more efficient.
Of specific note, it no longer does a crazy select spam every 100µs, instead computing and relying on sane timeouts,
as afforded by switching the UI event/input loop to the MONOTONIC time base, and the refactored timed callbacks in GestureDetector.
* reMarkable: Stopped enforcing synthetic timestamps on input events, as it should no longer be necessary.
* TimeVal:
* Refactored and simplified, especially as far as metamethods are concerned (based on <bsd/sys/time.h>).
* Added a host of new methods to query the various POSIX clock sources, and made :now default to MONOTONIC.
* Removed the debug guard in __sub, as time going backwards can be a perfectly normal occurrence.
* New methods:
* Clock sources: :realtime, :monotonic, :monotonic_coarse, :realtime_coarse, :boottime
* Utility: :tonumber, :tousecs, :tomsecs, :fromnumber, :isPositive, :isZero
* UIManager:
* Ported event loop & scheduling to TimeVal, and switched to the MONOTONIC time base.
This ensures reliable and consistent scheduling, as time is ensured never to go backwards.
* Added a :getTime() method, that returns a cached TimeVal:now(), updated at the top of every UI frame.
It's used throughout the codebase to cadge a syscall in circumstances where we are guaranteed that a syscall would return a mostly identical value,
because very few time has passed.
The only code left that does live syscalls does it because it's actually necessary for accuracy,
and the only code left that does that in a REALTIME time base is code that *actually* deals with calendar time (e.g., Statistics).
* DictQuickLookup: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* FootNoteWidget: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* HTMLBoxWidget: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* Notification: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* TextBoxWidget: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* AutoSuspend: Port to TimeVal
* AutoTurn:
* Fix it so that settings are actually honored.
* Port to TimeVal
* BackgroundRunner: Port to TimeVal
* Calibre: Port benchmarking code to TimeVal
* BookInfoManager: Removed unnecessary yield in the metadata extraction subprocess now that subprocesses get scheduled properly.
* All in all, these changes reduced the CPU cost of a single tap by a factor of ten (!), and got rid of an insane amount of weird poll/wakeup cycles that must have been hell on CPU schedulers and batteries..
