Netsurf porting effort (2020/04/16)

   Date: Wed, 05 Feb 2020 01:56:42 +0200
   Subject: [9front] TODO Netsurf port to Plan 9

   Dear all,

   I have compiled a small TODO list for the port of Netsurf to Plan 9 from 
   things that I can come to think of. I also made the list so that it 
   would be easer to select a task for anyone that would find it fun to 
   help out. Maybe you would like to play with something on the list? The 
   support for various image formats could be one thing that is easy to do 
   in parallel with other tasks.

   I am not expecting changes in 9front just to compile upstream netsurf 
   without patches, neither do I believe that the Netsurf team would change 
   their code base too much in order for it to compile out of the box in 
   Plan 9. All comments are welcome, however. As Ori and Kyle mentioned 
   they were willing to work on some things, I put their names in brackets 
   for those tasks :-)

   Higher priority tasks:

   * clean up the mkfiles, factor out common parts [Ori B]
   * implement webfs fetcher backend [Kyle N]
   * alternatively integrate with libcurl
   * compress image updates sent to /dev/draw [Jonas A]
   * iconv library support (convert between different character encodings.
   * make content handlers for jpg, png & svg compile & work
          (netsurf/content/handlers/image/ now commented out in netsurf/mkfile)
   * start on a native gui frontend (netsurf/frontends/plan9/gui.c)
          (lots of things, fonts handling etc.)
   * netsurf/frontends/framebuffer/gui.c
          fix Options handling (argc/argv) in main()
   * add support for pread() pwrite() and fceil() in APE
          (now implemented in posix/*)
   * look into the warning "Using dodgy gettimeofday() fallback"
          in libnsutils/src/time.c

   Maybe less important tasks: (mostly for easier upstream integration)

   * make translator between flex/bison and lex/yacc for *.l and
          *.y files. Also something for perl scripts maybe.
   * look into the macros in libwapcaplet. Not all macros are understood
          by cpp (now using function decl. from older version of the library.
   * make the code in libnsfb-0.2.1/src/plot/*.c byte order agnostic
          (might not matter if we make an native GUI)
   * implement VLA (Variable Lentgth Arrays) - or an good  way to
          avoid them (if upstream is updated)

9front-ANTS live/install cd available (2017/12/28)

From: mycroftiv 9gridchan
Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2017 10:41:02 -0600

I made a custom spin of the 9front .iso which includes my “Advanced Namespace Tools” kernel and software, which I have continued to develop and keep updated to current 9front. It’s at:

http://files.9gridchan.org/9frants569.iso.gz

There is a brief guide to using it at:

http://doc.9gridchan.org/guides/livecd

Any feedback and/or reports of issues is appreciated. Everything should work just as it does in standard 9front but with some additional features available. This is intended as experimental contributions to the 9front project for experienced Plan 9 users to explore if interested. Thanks to Cinap for 9front and helping with all my questions about Plan 9 development. I’m around most of the time in irc currently to discuss and answer any questions.

Conceived as a dark (light?) twin to harmful.cat-v.org, this “helpful” site aims to enumerate the tools, tips, and stories that ease the existential strain of cohabitating with 1.) humans, and 2.) computers.

notes

This release adds aiju’s games/timmy, a physics simulation game and a bignum calculator for programmers called pc.

On the system side, we got a fast portable /dev/random now which is based on the chacha stream cipher - carefully seeded once at boot time. Cipher states for the rng and other kernel crypto services is now kept in a separate memory pool which devproc will prohibit access to and which automatically destroys the data on free.

kernel

acpi: ADR and BBN might be methods, so use amleval() to evaluate the value

aml: define amlintmask and set it according to DSDT revision (64bit / 32bit)

aml: implement ToInteger() and Match() instructions

devmnt: fix mistake in mntrahread()

devsdp: keep cipher states in secret memory

devssl: allocate cipher states in secret memory

kernel: add secalloc() and secfree() functions for secret memory allocation

kernel: dont pprint() into 9p channels

kernel: more (arm) compiler friendly mul64fract()

kernel: switch to fast portable chacha based seed-once random number generator

swap: make sure swap chan has ORDWR mode on fdtochan()

wifi: allocate cipher states in secret memory, do AESstate key setup once
