looks very non x86 compatible. there is an isa one, and a legacy free one
<doug16k>
you probably want legacy free one
<geist>
well was thinking of ay of the PCI ones
<doug16k>
can be 100% mmio
<doug16k>
yes, if you do -device secondary-vga, it is completely legacy free framebuffer only mmio only pci
<geist>
most of it was whether or not it'd eve attempt to map the VGA IO registers into the pci/riscv/etc PIO compatibility window on PCI
<geist>
ah neat

good to know

of course a bunch of those drivers might not even exist on a qemu-arm or -riscv build

Hi, I was wondering if someone could give me a very dumbed down version on how input processing works. As far as I understand it, some devices like a keyboard are connected to the cpu bus, from there signal goes to the cpu with an irq interrupt. Os handles that interupt and then sends a software os signal to the application?
<pyzozord>
and how does that related to a function like getc
Shikadi` has joined #osdev
transistor has joined #osdev
Skyz has joined #osdev
<GeDaMo>
The interrupt will store the data in a buffer which getc will read from (although there are likely to be a few more stages in the middle if you're using e.g. X Windows)
<Skyz>
What OSdev project needs a window
amanita has quit [Quit: leaving]
<Skyz>
I saw someone show that you can move the window if you setup the gui
amanita has joined #osdev
<pyzozord>
oh I see so with window server there is probably some centralized part of that window server that reads from the real event buffer and then manages those events and sends them to applications in some higher abstraction?
<doug16k>
host controller is connected to cpu and device. host controller determines it needs service, sends IRQ to cpu. cpu dispatches interrupt and ends up in the driver for that controller, it reads what happened and updates input queue with the information from the device. programs waiting for the input queue wake up
<gog>
yeah whichever one has focus
Skyz has quit [Quit: Client closed]
<pyzozord>
the input queue is an os construct?
<pyzozord>
windows server "takes over" the input queue and will send it to other programs?
<doug16k>
for a desktop where lots of windows are visible at once, yes, you have what I described underneath the desktop, and the GUI code figures out which program gets the keyboard event or whatever it is
<GeDaMo>
Each process would have its own input queue
mctpyt has joined #osdev
<pyzozord>
oh i see so there is no global singleton system wide input queue, when irq is dispatched by the os, each process will get a copy of the event and store it in it's own queue?
<doug16k>
pyzozord, windows created the driver input queue and the gui queues. no taking over what you created from scratch
<doug16k>
it invites programs to use them and lets you block and wait for events if you have nothing to do
<pyzozord>
i see, i think i have a better idea now, thanks
<GeDaMo>
Unix was designed to be multiuser, multiple terminals each connected to a user process
<pyzozord>
so if I want to write a video game that handles input, what's the simples and lowest level way of handling input? Is handling some os signals in my program the right way to go?
<pyzozord>
I'm trying to avoid higher level libraries like SDL and others, I want to keep things simpler
<gog>
tbh it's probably simpler to use the higher-level libraries
<gog>
no per-platform code to deal with
<gog>
or rather, less per-platform code
<pyzozord>
I mean simpler in the sense of the whole technology stack, not how many lines of code my project has

Or you could write an OS which makes this sort of thing simpler :P
<pyzozord>
one thing that's still not clear for me, how does getc() work if I am on xwindows in a gnome-terminal and the same way if I wasn't in gome terminal (by switching to different tty with ctrl+alt+f3 or something)
basil has joined #osdev
hl has joined #osdev
merry has joined #osdev
<doug16k>
pyzozord, it creates a pseudo terminal, and the program reads that
<doug16k>
pyzozord, ls /dev/pts
<doug16k>
the terminal reads from it and renders the text, and writes the keyboard input to the program through it
Brnocrist has joined #osdev
wereii has joined #osdev
<doug16k>
program reads input from it, and writes text/terminal escapes to it
<doug16k>
look at /dev/pts, find the first missing number, open a new terminal window, ls there again, you'll see a new one (let's say 4). now if you go echo 'hello >> /dev/pts/4 then "hello" appears in the terminal
<pyzozord>
so xwindows creates a pseudoterminal? then gnome-terminal reads and writes to that pseudoterminal? so getc() doesn't even use the input queue?
<doug16k>
still has the concept of keyboard focus
<NieDzejkob>
gnome-terminal creates the pseudoterminal
<NieDzejkob>
and shovels the input from xwindows's queue to the pty, such that bash can read it
<doug16k>
there is a bottom layer that gets the one true keyboard input event stream, then determines where to route it to. then it goes into that specific program's input buffer, eventually pulled out of there by the program
Skyz has joined #osdev
<pyzozord>
and what happens with getc() if I'm not under xwindows? Are ptys still in use in that case? In that case os itself crates ptys?
<doug16k>
in windows the concepts are the same, but the apis are completely different

pyzozord: a pty is used any time the tty is virtual (xterm, ssh, and other stuff), if your on a raw terminal, then your on tty1 or ttyS0 for example
<pyzozord>
but I guess I was asking more broadly about "more or less unix"
<doug16k>
pyzozord, same thing
<clever>
a pty lets you simulate the terminal from software
<doug16k>
now you just switch between ctrl-alt-f key pseudoterminals
<doug16k>
the same multiplexing layer is there
<clever>
yeah, ctrl+alt+f1 thru f8, cycles between tty1 to tty8, for example
<pyzozord>
ok hmm, but still gnome-terminal will create a pty? Or will it rather ask os to create a pty?
<pyzozord>
it seems like those pty are part of the kernel
<clever>
pyzozord: gnome-terminal will use /dev/ptmx to create a pty, so the terminal has the "display" end, and the shell (bash for ex), has the other end
<doug16k>
pyzozord, you can ctrl-alt-f3 or something to go to a text terminal when your GUI is up, right?
<clever>
the kernel acts as a middle man between the 2 and emulates the same api as a physical terminal (tty1)

amanita has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
<pyzozord>
oh i see. so the full route of input event is keyboard -> irq -> cpu -> dispatch -> x window server -> gnome-terminal -> pty -> os
<clever>
yeah, in my case, lets see...
amanita has joined #osdev
<clever>
usb keyboard, usb controller, usb driver (in linux kernel), input layer, X server (userland)
<clever>
then to the xterm program (bouncing off a unix socket in the kernel)
<clever>
then xterm shoves it thru a pty, where linux then presents it on stdin of ssh
<clever>
ssh then encrypts it, shoved it out tcp, and it arrives on a socket of an sshd instance
<clever>
decrypts it, shoves it back into a SECOND pty, and it turns up in stdin of /usr/bin/screen
<clever>
screen then muxes it to the right window, and shoves it into a THIRD! pty, where it turns up on the stdin of irssi (my irc client)
<clever>
pyzozord: that would be the rough path my keystrokes are following, not counting the NIC drivers or switches, lol
<pyzozord>
oh I see, ok this makes sense now
<pyzozord>
clever: thanks
<pyzozord>
the tricky bit was os -> xserver -> gnome-terminal -> pty -> os -> stdin of my program
<pyzozord>
well there was more tricky bits, but this one was the trickies I guess

[root@amd-nixos:~]# ls -l /proc/2964/fd/43
<clever>
pyzozord: one of 3 or 4, is the unix socket to X, so X and xterm can exchange events, and then 5 is the master handle for a pty under xterm
<pyzozord>
clever: what program is 2964 in this example? Is it xorg itself? Is it a terminal emulator like xterm? Is a cli program running insid ethe terminal emulator (like echo or top)?
<pyzozord>
clever: and 1401
<clever>
pyzozord: 2964==X, 1401==xterm
skyz79 has joined #osdev
<pyzozord>
ah and xterm communicates with programs over the sockets because of this strange decomposed architecture that it has that it can run over network etc?

the X11 protocol uses either tcp or unix socekts, to connect the X server and X client together

linux.die.net: ptmx(4): pseudoterminal master/slave - Linux man page
<pyzozord>
it seems like pseudoterminals are part of the kernel, in some sense they are just like drivers that don't have a real device connected to them
<clever>
yeah
<pyzozord>
but it seems to me that tty or pty are more special then other devices but I'm not sure if that's true
dennisschagt has joined #osdev
<clever>
tty and pty both speak the same tty api, so programs function the same no matter what type of terminal your using
<clever>
the ptm (master) and pts (slave) essentially just act like a pair of pipes, anything you write to one, can then be read from the other
<pyzozord>
i mean if there wasn't [pt]tys there would be no way to interface with the os right?
<clever>
but it also has some special stuff, to allow managing the baud rate, and resizing of the terminal
<clever>
and sending things like sigint
<clever>
without a pty, you can only interface using the physical terminals, like a serial port, or the text mode virtual tty's
<clever>
tty1 thru tty12 are also virtual terminals, but managed entirely in the kernel, and use your local keyboard/GPU
<clever>
only something like ttyS0 is a "true terminal", in my mind
<clever>
everything else, is just a layer of software, to let ancient programs work the same way
<pyzozord>
i see so yeah this tty stuff has kind of deep roots in the kernel itself
<immibis>
tty shouldn't be in the kernel, but is. Usually that sort of thing seems to be left to libraries
<immibis>
or just shoved into glibc, on linux
<immibis>
but then, the less basic stuff the kernel has, the more useless it is because the more stuff you need to run a program...

same with PS5. they're pretty unobtanium, but some folks have said if you're really smart you can probably find one within a few days

you can get like 10 watt ones that are still full tube

my current amplifier is a Boss Katana 100, which is plenty loud and fun to fiddle around with since you can program it through USB
<kazinsal>
and has an attenuator built into it so I can run it at like 5 watts instead of 100
<geist>
really probably i'd not like it, i think the orange amps have a grungy sound that probably really isn't my liking

but gosh they're so iconic

yeah, the fancier ones you can shape a bit better but they still have that super dirty feel unless you switch to clean and then just crank the volume to get more gain

Hello, can I mount a folder as a fat32 volume under bochs the same way I can with qemu?
<geist>
probably not? how can you do it on qemu?
Arthuria has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
<radens>
-hda fat:rw:hda/
<geist>
huh. didn't know you could do that
<kazinsal>
that feels like something someone threw in really early on for testing and never deprecated.
<radens>
so the folder hda is mounted as a fat rw partition, which means I don't need to rebuild the image every time I mess up
<geist>
if it's dynamically generating a fat volume then bochs would have to have the same feature
<kazinsal>
now I'm curious as to how that presents itself to the guest
<radens>
the guest just sees a fat volume there, I think
<kazinsal>
hmm, yeah, that's weird. the docs also say "don't write to the directory on the host system while it's active on the guest system" so
<kazinsal>
I would wager this is a half baked feature for testing and you should not use it ever
<radens>
I plugged in OVMF as the firmware and it boots to an OVMF shell where I can run uefi apps/services from the command line. Pretty sure I can get it to boot from there too, although I haven't bothered.
<radens>
kazinsal: why not use useful features your software has which don't require you to constantly rebuild fat images?
<geist>
kazinsal: ah yeah was wondering how the host changing would work with it. answer is it doesn't
<kazinsal>
radens: based on the number of caveats in the documentation I suspect this isn't meant for "production" use
<radens>
Oh sure, I'm just using it for dev
<kazinsal>
and the fact that it defaults to mounting read-only, implying that read-write is sketchy
<geist>
radens: honestly i'd move off the qemu feature. it sounds neat, but it's not really different from just generating a FAT image in your build system
<radens>
qemu isn't fit for production use at all :P
<geist>
which you can do just as easily and then works everywhere, including real hardware
<kazinsal>
qemu is the most popular frontend to kvm
<kazinsal>
and TCG is production stable
<kazinsal>
has been for years
<radens>
Certainly but doesn't make the codebase any less sketch :P
<geist>
i'd consider most of these little side features like this to not be in the core feature set
<geist>
the more it gets off the beaten path of 'run Real OSes under virtualization in normal ways' it probably gets more and more untested
<geist>
but the core bits are pretty solid

<gog>
but i'm hesitant to ruin my home partition on accident
<kazinsal>
considering FAT has no file locking I'm expecting fireworks
<geist>
if the host doesn't change out from underneath it and there are no host dir perm errors or whatnot, it's probably fairly straightforward to live follow what the guest is doing to FAT
<geist>
but yeah i would not in any way shape or form point it at your entire homedir
<radens>
Changing the directory on the host doesn't seem to affect the guest's view of things
<geist>
*should* be safe to point it at a subdir, since that'd have to be a straight up qemu bug to look outside of that

hm yeah

possible the uefi com port stuff is merely an output display

hm maybe netcat is buffering, it sent the command when I tabbed away
<kazinsal>
not sure if there's a way to flip TCP_NODELAY on in nc
<geist>
mm, yeah
<junon>
There are the -b, -I and -O flags for `nc`.
<junon>
There's no way to set nodelay from what I can tell.
<geist>
looks like the freebsd netcat has a --disable-nagle switch
<geist>
but i dont see it on the gnu one
<geist>
well whatever one is on linux at least
<radens>
telnet works
<radens>
it's some sort of buffering by nc
<geist>
even after a enter key?
<radens>
yeah
<radens>
ctrl-c just kills nc
<geist>
huh line buffering it'd expect but a super long buffer is odd
<geist>
seems like even TCP_NODELAY would eventually send it within some reasonable amount of time
<radens>
yeah
<geist>
milliseconds
<radens>
not milliseconds, seconds
<geist>
would have to strace it i guess to see if it's even write()ing it
<radens>
like I come here, chat with you, come back, maybe the command is sent, maybe not, but who cares, telnet works as expected
<radens>
yeah
<radens>
but I'm just struggling with tools and not doing the dev I want

I can probably install linux on the minnowboard, or the dev machine, or install hyper-v etc. etc. etc.

but I just wanted to bang out some rust over lunch and oops here we are

vbox on windows does nested virt

I'd go the hyper-v route

Is there a good resource that goes into the performance characteristics of syscall vs. traps vs. whatever else for kernel interop?
<kazinsal>
VM settings -> system -> processor -> enable nested VT-x

junon: can you get that info from agners fog? Not sure.
<kazinsal>
the agner fog tables are primarily about the actual instruction latency and not always the knock-on effects so for stuff like that it might not be as helpful

iirc sysenter/syscall have fewer lookup penalties than call gates and interrupt gates do

after investigating some suspicious values passed to various functions, I realized a major atomicity issue with how one of my core IPC systems works, and while I'm sure it's not the last SMP issue it's a pretty big one.
<klange>
That should resolve a lot of userspace dereference of 0x4 from the client library trying to malloc 0 [which I intentionally and correctly return NULL for]... as well as a very common kernel sbrk(huge) that I thought was some stack value getting corrupted but after looking into this it makes so much more sense
<klange>
lovely page-aligned garbage? it was data the IPC mechanism read that it thought was a packet size, but was actually data from another packet
<klange>
suspiciously ascii stuff? one of the things these packets tend to carry is window titles!

Well remember I was advocating PySimpleGUI before
<skyz>
Once you got python it's shouldnt be hard to implement into an OS
<skyz>
I think for misaka it would be a good feature

skyz: you have no idea what you're talking about
<klange>
pysimplegui is a wrapper around other gui toolkits, it is not some magic thing you can just run on
<klange>
Additionally, the off-topic chatter you are prone to is tolerated from members who provide valuable on-topic contributions, which you have not done.

People don't usually give me an instant uncontroversial reason to ban them.
