<junon>
Writing a rasterizer for the vesa linear framebuffer. I already have scrolling text buffers and whatnot but trying to optimize a bit (running a debug build over GTK Broadway backend between two computers in order to develop on WSL lol - great simulation of a ridiculously slow system).
<junon>
Trying to figure out a good way of doing scrolling without having a memory pager in place yet. Double buffering is out of the question since I can't allocate memory yet, and the language I'm using doesn't have VLAs. Seems that reading from the video buffer is... well, buggy/slow at best and nonfunctional at worst.
<zid>
memcpy and flip?
<junon>
Am I doomed to re-render all of the glyphs when shifting text up a line?
<zid>
assuming you have enough video memory
<junon>
memcpy from where, thought? reading from the framebuffer gives strange results.
<zid>
I have my qemu graphics double buffered because it allows you to set a y position for the scan-out so I just made whatever res uses exactly half
<zid>
and swap between y=0 and y=768 or whatever it was
<zid>
if you can't read the fb you need to triple buffer
<zid>
and have an external copy
<zid>
If you're not going to triple buffer you should probably at least make a glyph cache
<zid>
render each glyph to some array so that you can just blit them all later
<junon>
mrh okay. So I'll need to allocate a region of memory prior to the memory pager taking over.
<junon>
Or yeah, a glyph cache would at least speed things up somewhat.
<junon>
Instead of decoding them each time.
<zid>
You basically have to in modern typefaces
<zid>
ttf are fucking complicated
<junon>
I build a TTF cache at build time using graphicsmagick.
<zid>
and it's all kerned and shit, so the UI in your game or whatever will be rendered to texture, then the texture will be lifetime managed
<junon>
I mean, sorry. Glyph atlas from a TTF.
<zid>
monospace is easier you can atlas it yea
<junon>
Yeah just 100 monospace glyphs or whatever
<mrvn>
junon: never read the framebuffer, it's horribly slow. If you can't double buffer then re-render
<junon>
and glyph 0 is inverted to be used as the "unknown character" glyph.
<junon>
mrvn: Yeah thought so. Glyph cache it is, then.
<mrvn>
A bitmap font is it's own cache
<junon>
That's what it is, yeah. It's just unpacking the bits each time. Idk if maybe unpacking them once into the pixels... wait no can't do that either, because if the color changes then I have to update all of them in the cache.
<mrvn>
junon: use a 8 bit wide font
<junon>
Why 8 bit specifically?
<junon>
(currently 6 bits)
<mrvn>
so it's bitmap[c][row]
<zid>
You can use an atlas for kerned fonts I think as long as your kerning rules are simple, like it's just pairs or whatever
<junon>
good idea mrvn, currently doing the div/mod song and dance.
<mrvn>
at least expand the 6bit with 2 padding bits.
<junon>
yeah exactly
<mrvn>
but why don't you have any memory for a double buffer?
<junon>
I'm also clearing the scroll region then only painting the glyph "hits" with the foreground color when re-rendering. That's basically hitting the scroll region on average 50% more than necessary.
<zid>
doesn't really work for those languages that compose all their glyphs though :P
<junon>
I do, of course. Just don't have a memory pager at this point in the boot stage.
<mrvn>
junon: huh? jus redraw all the glyphs that differ from the previous line top to bottom.
<junon>
Good idea
<mrvn>
junon: Put 1MB of memory in the .bss section and use that for an early kalloc()
<junon>
will 1mb cover all framebuffer cases though?
<mrvn>
make it 16MB
<junon>
I thought they could be as large as a 4k monitor for example
<mrvn>
it's not like .bss is costing you anything
<zid>
ah no it doesn't work for kerning it turns out, you need to do weird shit like mipmaps for how it's x-positioned, as kerning info is noticeable sub-pixel
SpikeHeron has quit [Quit: WeeChat 3.6]
<junon>
that's... true. You're right.
<mrvn>
zid: things like antialias and kernel only makes sense above 12-16 pixel.
<mrvn>
kerning
<mrvn>
junon: why isn't the memory the first thing you set up on boot?
<junon>
haven't gotten there yet.
<mrvn>
there are tons of drivers that will need some buffers so it's kind of important.
SpikeHeron has joined #osdev
<mrvn>
junon: I would recommend sticking with the text console then and work on memory before doing FB
<mrvn>
or serial output
<junon>
I'm writing this in rust, to save time I'm using the `bootloader` crate which doesn't properly disable framebuffer mapping despite telling it to. Figured I'd have to write the rasterizer at some point for the boot info and had a few days to kill to do it. So started there.
<mrvn>
but whatever is fun for you
<junon>
Yeah it's fun for me :) that counts too hehe
<mrvn>
don't worry about speed then at least. just do the simplest thing possible so you can read printf() debugging output.
<junon>
Yeah definitely. It works now, looks great, etc. Just slow. But the clear + re-render can be trivially sped up with the few tricks you mentioned. Appreciate it :)
<mrvn>
.oO(including not scrolling but simply wrapping around to the top)
<junon>
nah scrolling works, it's just flickering and slow haha
<mrvn>
I did that when I worked on MIPS with an FB. Just keep a clear line between the last line and the old text and use the FB like a ring buffer.
<junon>
works way better now, thanks again zid/mrvn :)
<zid>
what did you change?
tsraoien has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
<junon>
Made "draw_glyph_opaque" variants that don't skip transparent glyph bits and instead write the background color, which saves having to blank the line when re-rendering the line below it. Then once I hit a null byte in that line (marking the end of the line's contents), I just blank the rest of the line.
<junon>
No more full-region blank prior to re-rendering.
<junon>
Then I just blank the last line entirely.
<zid>
ah yea that sounds nicer than whatever you were trying before
<junon>
No more flickering and markedly faster.
<junon>
Yep :)
<zid>
I didn't even consider you might be manually clearing then rendering transparent text
<junon>
Yeah haha, I was trying to make things too nice and fancy. Forgot I'm writing rudimentary displays.
<zid>
write combining is your friend :p

junon: You can also create a buffer of 1 line or better one row of characters. Render into that and then memcpy it to the framebuffer.
<junon>
Are video buffer writes also slow?
<junon>
Or just reads?
<zid>
as slow as the dram on the card is
<zid>
so if it's a real vesa card? very
<junon>
ah so a word sized copy is going to be faster than doing individual bytes etc.
<zid>
If it's just your nvidia card pretending to decode those addresses? fast
<zid>
that's going to be faster regardless just because it's 1 packet and not 4 packets
<zid>

was trying to figure out how to make a 17byte pixel format make sense.
<mrvn>
CMYKA with flats.
<junon>
that gets you 20 bytes if you have a float alpha channel
<junon>
3 bytes too many haha
<zid>
17 is easy, 1 byte alpha and 4 channel colour of float/u32 each
<junon>
yeah exactly
<mrvn>
not enough alpha: 30bit per color, 14bit alpha
<zid>
red green blue and octarine
<junon>
or 17 bit floats for CMYKA with an extra bit for ... something.

UVYAU'V'Y'A' so you can do a spline through the pixels.

people are used to searching on a qwertz keyboard. But why the differences to qwertz?
<mrvn>
vdamewood: bless you
<mrvn>
The enigma messages hat a code book with most things encoded to single letters. So 4wpm could be just 4 letters.
<vdamewood>
My guess is that they make the layout more symetric. Without punctuation, P and L just kind of hang out to the right.
<mrvn>
yeah, makes it nice and square
<zid>
26 is not composite enough
<zid>
we should add 6 more letters to english

thorn, eth, and 4 more vowels

32 only has 2 as prime factor

With 30 you could rotate letters in gorups of 2, 3 and 5 on different wheels of the enigma.

are there any OSes that support write()s to negative offsets?
<dzwdz>
where e.g. writing to -1 appends to the end of the file
<zid>
write doesn't take an offset though?
<GeDaMo>
seek to the end, write
<dzwdz>
well
<dzwdz>
yeah, on unix it doesn't, i kinda forgot about that...
<zid>
It solves level 1 of the challenge with 1 rotor, but level 3 uses 3 rotors, rotor staring positions, and the plugboard
<zid>
and doesn't give the right answer
<zid>
I have no idea why not
<dzwdz>
lemme try again - in my OS, read() and write() accept an offset. do y'all think it'd be a good idea to accept negative offsets from the end of the file?
<dzwdz>
my reasoning being that it would allow atomic appends
<zid>
I might try put some standard settings in
<clever>
dzwdz: that sounds more like pread/pwrite?
<gog>
do read and write not have a concept of current position?
<gog>
how do you specify that?
<clever>
read/write just advance the seek position by however much they wrote, and dont accept a position, so you must seek seperately
<mjg>
in unix i presume, r/w offset is tracked per file pointer
<clever>
pread/pwrite dont change the seek position at all, and take a starting position as an arg
<jjuran>
POSIX has atomic appends via O_APPEND, of course
<dzwdz>
well, yeah, pread/pwrite
<dzwdz>
i just forgot i didn't implement it the unix way
<gog>
right ok
<gog>
i see
<dzwdz>
O_APPEND seems kinda weird to me, why should i have to choose between being able to append atomically and writing anywhere else in the file

it's probably fine but might make it hard to port standard applications

"Disassembler disagrees with translator over instruction decoding" what's the likelihood of this being a bug in Rust, LLVM, or QEMU? Works in release, not in debug.
<mjg>
yes
<junon>
great thx
<junon>
:D
<mjg>
you should be able to decode yourself
<junon>
I would imagine this is probably not a bug in QEMU's decoding. Likelihood seems slim.
<junon>
And this is machine code generation, so probably not Rust's frontend.
<junon>
So... bug in LLVM's x86_64 backend?
dh` has quit [Quit: bbiab]
<zid>
translator?
<junon>
Or is my deductive reasoning here flawed
<zid>
and which disassembler?
<junon>
This is output from QEMU during execution.
<junon>
translator probably refers to TCG?
<zid>
cpu trace?
<junon>
I'm speculating though.
<zid>
that's handled by capstone

yeah

yep

which adjusts the year by 10 automatically

zid: any way to show the bytes directly in `layout split`/`asm`?

github.com: edk2/OvmfPkg at master · tianocore/edk2 · GitHub
<clever>
ah, and its also tianocore
<clever>
just pick one name, and stick with it! lol
<heat>
it's everything
<heat>
it used to be tiano
<heat>
then it grew into tianocore, edk was the efi development kit, then udk was the UEFI development kit, now we have edk2 which is efi development kit 2
<heat>
tianocore is not actually an entity
<clever>
and how is efi different from uefi??
<heat>
EFI is old UEFI
<zid>
does that mean heat is old heut
<clever>
just like how a usb1 only device is usb2 compliant? :P
<zid>
heaut
<heat>
clever, kinda
<heat>
they deprecated some stuff
<heat>
but it has been remarkably stable
<clever>
but they also change what a name means
<heat>
hm?
<clever>
so what was one day just UEFI, is now called EFI
<clever>
and there is a totally new thing, that is now called UEFI?
<clever>
2022-07-28 18:32:09 < heat> EFI is old UEFI
<heat>
first, there was EFI
<heat>
then, EFI changed to UEFI
<heat>
and erm yes that's it
<clever>
ahh
<clever>
misread what you said
<heat>
people referring to EFI these days are old heads or force of habit
<clever>
it sounds more like it was once called UEFI, but then the old spec got renamed to EFI, and the new spec became the new UEFI
<clever>
heat: or people who are just confused by the acronym soup :P

github.com: uefi-edk2/EdkModulePkg.fpd at svn/tags/InitialImport · grehan-freebsd/uefi-edk2 · GitHub
<clever>
oh god, lol
<heat>
it's something I found out about yesterday, so now you need to know as well
<clever>
and something like say https://github.com/pftf/RPi3, its got edk2 as git submodules, i assume the build system lets you build a specific board implementation of uefi, and add your own code around edk2?
<bslsk05>
github.com: Building Outside The LK Tree · littlekernel/lk Wiki · GitHub
<heat>
yes but the build system is 10x more insane
<clever>
i have poked at decompiling uefi firmware for one of my systems before
<clever>
and it was litered with 100's of PE32 binaries
<clever>
thats something LK cant really do easily
<clever>
i assume all efi compatible firmwares are implemented like that?
<heat>
yes
<heat>
EFI flash images are just a standard filesystem-on-flash with PE images
<clever>
a .efi that implements something like a fat32 driver, will have its entry-point called, it should register itself as an fs handler, and return from the entry-point?
<heat>
everything is stupid modular
<heat>
yes
<clever>
and there would be some mechanism for discovering which .efi does that?
<heat>
no, it loads everything
<clever>
ah
<clever>
so it just runs the entry-point for every single .efi in the flash, then something decides to start booting
<heat>
define "start booting"
<clever>
obeying config, and running either the CSM or normal efi boot procedure
<clever>
where it either runs the MBR or looks at efi vars and loads a .efi from an ESP
<heat>
sure, yes
<clever>
that could even just be the last .efi in the load order?
<heat>
no
<heat>
for instance, when you're registering yourself (i.e a filesystem driver, in the DXE (driver execution) phase), you're not guaranteed to be connecting with the device/partition/whatever you support
<heat>
you don't make that connection
<heat>
BDS (boot device selection) does
<heat>
this makes it so fast boot is possible
<heat>
only connect what is required to boot
<heat>
this is also how S3 resume works
<heat>
connect and load what is required to boot
<clever>
yeah, the fat32 driver just has to register its mount function to the type, and return
<heat>
yes
<clever>
and something else then decides to mount the ESP and load a .efi from there
<heat>
yes
<clever>
but what part is actually telling things to mount the ESP and execute the configured .efi binary on disk?
<heat>
BDS
<clever>
and is the BDS another .efi binary in the flash?
<heat>
it's a phase
<heat>
but probably
<clever>
ah, so its more like it runs the entry-point for every .efi, and they can register to have a function ran upon starting some phase
<clever>
once all .efi's are loaded, it progresses to the next stage, and goes thru a few
<heat>
no
<heat>
EFI boot is separated into SEC (security phase, not really used for security, commonly just has the reset vector), PEI (pre-efi initialization, does very early bringup, sets up RAM), DXE (driver execution, executes drivers), BDS (boot device selection, selects how boot is going to flow, what devices will get initialized, etc)

<clever>
in the case of me re-porting things on the rpi, my inter-arch stuff would likely be at either SEC or PEI
<clever>
and then i have to modify some drivers that DXE loads
<heat>
ah wait, indeed there is in this case
<heat>
it's a protocol you register in DXE
<clever>
ahh
<clever>
now its starting to make some sense, and kinda fits with how factorio mods work
<bslsk05>
github.com: lk-overlay/payload.S at master · librerpi/lk-overlay · GitHub
<clever>
these 3 payloads get embeded into the *VPU* LK build
<clever>
and on startup, it drops one of them at the arm reset vector, and sets the arm loose
<clever>
so the payload is the very first thing the arm sees, upon running the reset vector
<heat>
amd platforms keep their ARM firmware in the main flash image as well
<clever>
there is no way to pass arguments to the payload via registers
<clever>
hence, why i'm editing the payload, and using the inter-arch stuff above
<clever>
the entire exec() step can be ignored, because the payload is the very first thing the arm touches
<clever>
heat: so the problem then, is that i need a 20 byte structure to exist within the final .bin, that is 16 byte aligned, and can be read by some part of the efi code, PEI possibly?

hmm, and does edk2 usually have device-tree parsing support?
<heat>
yes it does
<heat>
it even does device-tree -> acpi
<clever>
in my case, the DT is entirely custom, and just describes the bare minimum
<bslsk05>
github.com: lk-overlay/loader.c at master · librerpi/lk-overlay · GitHub
<clever>
this code loads a dtb from disk, patches a few things, and copies the framebuffer/serial/model from the previous DT
<clever>
dont see any recursive copy within fdt_rw.c
<clever>
oh!, but overlays....
* clever
reads fdt_overlay.c
