From d04b3883815e898ebd81dd426437964f87cfd6af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hung-Te Lin Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2020 16:22:21 +0800 Subject: libpayload: cbgfx: Support buffered I/O For payloads with UI based on CBGFX, they usually start by calling clear_canvas or clear_screen and then draw the UI elements. However, that makes the screen flicker. A typical solution is to identify and minimize the area to redraw. However for payloads with complicated UI and do not care about latency, an alternative is to enable buffered I/O. The new enable_graphics_buffer() will redirect all graphics I/O into an invisible working buffer. To flush (redraw) the buffer to the real screen, call flush_graphics_buffer(). To stop buffering, call disable_graphics_buffer(). BUG=None TEST=Add the enable, flush and disable calls to payload 'depthcharge', built a firmware and boots into Chrome OS recover UI. No more flickering. The average rendering time on x86 platform is 1.2ms.
