2022-02-11LibConfig: Rename pledge_domains(String) => pledge_domain(String)Vitaly Dyachkov
pledge_domains() that takes only one String argument was specifically added as a shortcut for pledging a single domain. So, it makes sense to use singular here.
2022-01-15LibCore+LibIPC+Everywhere: Return Stream::LocalSocket from LocalServersin-ack
This change unfortunately cannot be atomically made without a single commit changing everything. Most of the important changes are in LibIPC/Connection.cpp, LibIPC/ServerConnection.cpp and LibCore/LocalServer.cpp. The notable changes are: - IPCCompiler now generates the decode and decode_message functions such that they take a Core::Stream::LocalSocket instead of the socket fd. - IPC::Decoder now uses the receive_fd method of LocalSocket instead of doing system calls directly on the fd. - IPC::ConnectionBase and related classes now use the Stream API functions. - IPC::ServerConnection no longer constructs the socket itself; instead, a convenience macro, IPC_CLIENT_CONNECTION, is used in place of C_OBJECT and will generate a static try_create factory function for the ServerConnection subclass. The subclass is now responsible for passing the socket constructed in this function to its ServerConnection base; the socket is passed as the first argument to the constructor (as a NonnullOwnPtr<Core::Stream::LocalServer>) before any other arguments. - The functionality regarding taking over sockets from SystemServer has been moved to LibIPC/SystemServerTakeover.cpp. The Core::LocalSocket implementation of this functionality hasn't been deleted due to my intention of removing this class in the near future and to reduce noise on this (already quite noisy) PR.
2021-11-18LibConfig: Add list methods for groups and keysfaxe1008
Use the methods exposed by ConfigServer to list groups and keys.

2021-08-26ConfigServer+LibConfig: Add way for clients to listen for config changesAndreas Kling
This patch adds a Config::Listener abstract class that anyone can inherit from and receive notifications when configuration values change. We don't yet monitor file system changes, so these only work for changes made by ConfigServer itself. In order to receive these notifications, clients must monitor the domain by calling monitor_domain(). Only pledged domains can be monitored. Note that the client initiating the change does not get notified.
2021-08-26ConfigServer+LibConfig: Add pledge_domains() APIAndreas Kling
This API lets applications specify which configuration domains they will be accessing throughout their lifetime. It works similarly in spirit to the kernel's pledge(). You cannot pledge_domains() more than once, and once you have used it, it's no longer possible to access any other configuration domain. This is obviously just a first cut of this mechanism, and we may need to tweak it further as we go.
2021-08-26LibConfig: VERIFY that a Core::EventLoop exists before connectingAndreas Kling
It's not possible to connect to ConfigServer without having an event loop available. This VERIFY makes it much easier to understand why things are not working. :^)
2021-08-26Userland: Introduce ConfigServer and LibConfigAndreas Kling
ConfigServer is an IPC service that provides access to application configuration and settings. The idea is to replace all uses of Core::ConfigFile with IPC requests to ConfigServer. This first cut of the API is pretty similar to Core::ConfigFile. The old: auto config = Core::ConfigFile::open_for_app("App"); auto value = config->read_entry("Group", "Key"); The new: auto value = Config::read_string("App", "Group", "Key"); ConfigServer uses the ~/.config directory as its backing store and all the files remain human-editable. :^)
