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).
platform: do not pass a directory on the command line.
The home directory will be properly set by Device.home_dir.
It was sometimes crashing when opened with no args.
Fixes: #7049
* 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...
* Run grep against /proc/modules directly instead of forking to lsmod
* Revamp the CPUFreq governor choice logic
I finally figured out why the scaling on the H2O was so wonky:
Because it relies on an obscure i.MX hardware feature called DVFS,
and it gets flipped for mysterious workaround-y reasons depending on
Wi-Fi state...
* Start playing with conservative, because just staying pegged at max
clock is entirely stupid.
And DVFS is extremely conservative, it needs somewhat sustained load to
clock up...
* Take care of the DVFS switcheroo in the Wi-Fi scripts
* Don't attempt to restart Nickel when asking for a reboot/shutdown
Use a magic exit code to ID those cases.
* Limit this to Kobo, to avoid breaking potentially existing assumptions
with other platform's startup scripts
* Be even more defensive around KoboUSBMS handling in the startup script
And add some more logging. To the log before a session, to the syslog
after, because we can't be sure onboard is viable.
* Display a short version string straight in the Version label
* Move system statistics inside the Help menu
* Move Version inside Help
* Bump base
https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1173
* Enable i18n in KoboUSBMS
* Rejig the "No confirmation" USBMS setting:
In now *only* affects the USB plug in event.
The menu entry will never show the popup (clicking on it should already
be confirmation enough, that, yes, we really would like to do that,
please ;)).
Also, enable said plug in behavior on Cervantes, too ;).
* Add an option to disable USBMS entirely
* Bump base
https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1170
* Unbreak Wi-Fi on Kobo w/ FX >= 4.23+
Stop relying on WIFI_MODULE_PATH, it's no longer exported by the init
script.
Fix#6500
* Resync the nickel restart script w/ upstream
Let udev handle the SD card, and actually allow nickel to see those events by re-creating the FIFO ourselves, to avoid races.
* 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.
* More robust way to detect our own path on Kobo
Should take care of all the weird and interesting ways people manage to
find to break it...
NOTE: "$(dirname $(realpath "${0}"))" works, too, but I'm not sure if
really old devices ship with the realpath applet...
* Abort early if KOREADER_DIR is null
* Simplify env siphoning some more
* Nope, shellcheck, quoting this breaks it.
(it preserves the LNs instead of abusing them as free field separators with word splitting).
And, while this does break on env vars with spaces (since they'll be
unquoted), that was already the case of the xargs approach.
If we had read -d & printf %q, we could go with a pure shell approach,
but we don't ;).
* Document a working quoted variant.
For science!
* [Kobo/reMarkable] Don't skip fbdepth when launching KOReader @ 8bpp
I'm not quite sure how that can happen unless you really want to, but
apparently it did on @Frenzie's H2O ;p
Update shellcheck and shfmt to the latest version.
Fixes <https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/5152>.
Btw, you can apply shellcheck suggestions with a command like:
```
shellcheck --include=SC2250 -f diff *.sh | git apply
```
* Restart KOReader after a crash, after showing a fancy crash recap screen (our very own Gray Screen of Death!).
Kobo only, because it's possibly the platform where getting booted out
of KOReader is the most annoying.
Keeps track of crashes, to be able to give up after a while, in order to
avoid boot loops in the unlikely event of a crash loop on startup.
Adds a dev option to *always* exit KOReader after the crash screen.
* Enforce Portrait rotation on the Forma *everywhere*, KSM included.
KSM is currently emulating a bogus rotation, which causes issues with
FBInk, but also happens to be insidiously quirky in weird corner-cases.
* The Great 8bpp Experiment
Swap to 8bpp on Kobo, because we're 'effing grayscale, for pete's sake!
* Always swap to 8bpp, no matter the launch method.
Because it turned out that, even when restarting Nickel, we had to
restore the expected bitdepth ourselves, because pickel/Nickel didn't do
the job completely.
(I'm going to guess the grayscale flag wasn't getting flipped properly).
* Dither every non-transparent icon to the eInk palette
* Make sure hasBGRFrameBuffer is only enabled when the Kobo fb actually is
@ 32bpp...
* Re-process badly grayscaled icons
* And re-grayscale that one w/ gamma correction so the squares show up
better.
* Allow the fbdepth switch to be disabled (in Developer settings).
Also, allow setting debug mode that way.
Also, forcibly disable verbose logging when disabling debug.
* Update setting name to piggyback on the existing check in reader.lua
* Update icons postprocessing info
* Enforce a known rotation on startup, to make sure we handle touch input coordinates properly.
* Proper FrontLight warmth support (thanks to @cairnsh & @pazos in #4291)!
* Fix the PageTurn buttons mapping to match Nickel's defaults
* Properly remap PageTurn buttons depending on the current rotation.
* Actually enable the Mk.7 screen refresh codepath on *all* Mk.7 devices (I'd messed up the device check...).
* Full accelerometer handling (includes a touch of refactoring regarding orientation handling in general).
* Fix insidiously broken USBMS behavior in Nickel after we exit on FW >4.8.
Fix#4291Fix#3002
* Only switch to ondemand when we actually can, and when it's better than the current governor...
This potentially leaves Mk.5 in the lurch, but there's no perfect solution there :/.
* Switch to UI for the unmark event of navigation hints markers
Might help on non-REAGL devices, and doesn't hurt there (re #3983).
* Switch SQLite DBs to WAL
Sounds nice in theory, behaves fine in practice.
* Switch to ondemand CPUFreq governor on Kobo
My H2O boots with the userspace (!!) governor...
Note that the hardware appears to blissfully ignore any of this, because
the stats still show the CPU changing state on its own...
* Handle OTA updates during the restart loop on Kobo/Kindle
So we can actually process OTA updates without ever truly exiting
KOReader (i.e., via the "Restart KOReader" menu entry) ;).
* With a bonus version normalizer fix.
* And a zsync bump/fix to avoid softlocks with OpenStack HTTP frontends (also, pull those from the OTA mirror list).
* Link to the WiKi, it's a bit more explainy ;).
* More WiFi trickery for some HW revs
* Fix Rev2 detection under KSM
That's to future-proof it, the other end of this hasn't made it into
current KSM build yet.
* Resync nickel.sh w/ current rcS
We don't have CPU, but we have PLATFORM, which is based on CPU, so,
that'll do :).
* Go back to using rmmod instead of modprobe -r
Functionally identical on current FW, will potentially avoid getting
outsmarted by modprobe if Kobo ever deigns shipping an actually usable
Linux system one day...
* Don't crash if screensavers directory doesn't exist
c.f., https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3706979&postcount=2919
* Trim unneeded stuff from startup script
I was somehow convinced I'd already done that...
While we're there, explain why we need to siphon those specific vars
* Fix a stray eth0
-> $INTERFACE
* Be very very sure we have INTERFACE set in our env
re #3936
* Make getFirmwareVersion less fragile on Kobo
Not that we actually use it right now, but, still. :D
* Use the same syntax as the PRODUCT check
* Actually implement getProductId
Instead of a stray c/p ^^
* Properly identify the Rev2/Mark7 variants of existing devices
Namely, the H2O² and Aura SE
Not that the H2O²r2 support is still broken, this just allows us to
implement it cleanyl without breaking handling of the original H2O²
re #3925
* Tweak sleeps a bit around Kobo WiFi modules...
See if that jog things up (re #3936)
* Try harder not to suspend with WiFi on on Kobos
Because otherwise, things go boom. (re #3936)
* Flag those scripts as executable in git
Somewhat irrelevant because we'll end up living on a FAT32 drive, but,
still.
* Cleanup Kobo startup script
Support KFMon >= 0.9.5
Don't siphon PRODUCT from nickel, it's exported by rcS, so fmon/KFMon
already inherit it.
Siphon NICKEL_HOME, on the off-chance nickel fails to figure that one
out for itself on restart.
Siphon LANG (This may be a terrible idea, rcS sets LANG to en_US.UTF-8,
while we set LC_ALL to en_US.UTF-8, but I don't know if nickel itself
ever updates LANG, since I have mine set to en_US also ;)).
My secret hope if that everything's working as it should and this ensures
we default to Nickel's locale on fresh installs?
Remove the extra sync on startup, both @Baskerville's fmon and KFMon are
smart enough not to do anything overly stupid, and recent FW versions
have a slightly more resilient DB anyway (rollback journal -> WAL).
This effectively shaves over a second off our startup time.
* Slimmed down the nickel restart script.
Based on current rcS
Scrapped a bucketload of irrelevant & legacy crap, since we're never
bootstrapping nickel, only restarting it.
* Update Kobo install instrcutions.
Point to KSM09, @Baskerville's fmon, and KFMon.
Deprecate legacy fmon, and as such, stop shipping a useless KoboRoot
tarball.
