Mutter prefers platform devices over anything else as the primary GPU.
This will not work too well, when a platform device does not actually
have a rendering GPU but is a display-only device. An example of this
are DisplayLink devices with the proprietary driver stack, which exposes
a DRM KMS platform device but without any rendering driver.
Mutter cannot rely on EGL init failing on such devices either, because
nowadays Mesa supports software renderers on GBM, so the initialization
may well succeed.
The hardware rendering capability is recognized by matching the GL
renderer string to the known Mesa software renderers. At this time,
there is no better alternative to detecting this.
The secondary GPU data is abused for the GL renderer, as the Cogl
context may not have been created yet. Also, the Cogl context would
only be created on the primary GPU, but at this point the primary GPU
has not been chosen yet. Hence, GPU copy path GL context is used as a
proxy and predictor of what the Cogl context might be if it was created.
Mind, that even the GL flavour are not the same between Cogl and
secondary contexts, so this is stretch but it should be just enough.
The logic to choose the primary GPU is changed to always prefer hardware
rendering devices while also maintaining the old order of preferring
platform over boot_vga devices.

Moves the primary GPU choosing to after all secondary gpu data has been
created.
This makes it possible for a future patch to start looking at secondary
gpu data in choose_primary_gpu () to determine if it is using a hardware
driver or a software renderer.

Initialize the secondary GPU data for all GPUs, even the primary one. By
not looking at the primary_gpu_kms member, a future patch is allowed to
postpone choosing the primary GPU.
A future patch will use the secondary GPU data to decide which GPU will
become the primary GPU.

create_renderer_gpu_data_egl_device () relied on the primary GPU being
already chosen for the "EGLDevice currently only works with single GPU
systems" error message. A future patch will choose the primary GPU after
this, not before, so this check needs to be rewritten before the
initialization order is changed.
The new check is implemented exactly as the error message says: there
must be exactly one GPU, otherwise fail.

Make the choosing and identity of the primary GPU an internal detail to
the native renderer. MonitorManagerKms did not need it for anything.
The primary GPU logic remains unchanged.
This allows follow-up patches to change how the renderer chooses the
primary GPU. It will be easier for the renderer to use private
information for choosing.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/271
This is a step towards moving the primary GPU logic into the native
renderer exclusively. In the future the renderer will have one more
criterion on choosing the primary GPU than MetaMonitorManagerKms should
know about: does a GPU offer hardware rendering.
The choosing of primary GPU is separated from the discovery of GPUs.
When GPUs are discovered and added to the list, the MetaGpuKmsFlag is
now populated correctly and used in choosing.
Choosing the primary GPU is done after all GPUs have been found and is
slightly different from before:
- Skipping devices that do not belong to our seat now works instead of
becoming the primary GPU.
- Fall back to any non-platform, non-boot_vga device if neither kind is
found.
The old preference of platform over boot_vga device is kept.
The hotplug path will continue creating a gpu_kms without flags, because
at that point the primary GPU has already been chosen and the flags are
irrelevant.

If a KMS device has the DRM_CAP_DUMB_PREFER_SHADOW and a software based
GL driver is used, always use a shadow fb. This will speed up read backs
in the llvmpipe OpenGL implementation, making blend operations faster.

DRM_EVENT_CONTEXT_VERSION is the latest context version supported by
whatever version of libdrm is present. Mutter was blindly asserting it
supported whatever version that may be, even if it actually didn't.
With libdrm 2.4.78, setting a higher context version than 2 will attempt
to call the page_flip_handler2 vfunc if it was non-NULL, which being a
random chunk of stack memory, it might well have been.
Set the version as 2, which should be bumped only with the appropriate
version checks.

The Wacom Xorg driver assigns a serial number of 1 for any pad that doesn't

Typically, to stream the content of a window, we need a way to copy the
content of its window-actor into a buffer, transform relative input
coordinates to relative position within the window-actor and a mean to
get the window bounds within the buffer.
For this purpose, add a new GType interface `MetaScreenCastWindow` with
the methods needed for screen-cast window mode:
* meta_screen_cast_window_get_buffer_bounds()
* meta_screen_cast_window_get_frame_bounds()
* meta_screen_cast_window_transform_relative_position()
* meta_screen_cast_window_capture_into()
This interface is meant to be implemented by `MetaWindowActor` which has
access to all the necessary bits to implement them.

To be able to cast windows, which by definition can change in size
dynamically, we need a way to specify the video crop meta to adjust to
the window size whenever it changes.
Add VideoCrop support with a new optional hook `get_videocrop()` in the
`ScreenCastStreamSrcClass` which, if defined, can let the child specify
a rectangle for the video cropping area.

Switch-configs are only to be used in certain circumstances (see
meta_monitor_manager_can_switch_config()) so when ensuring
configuration and attempting to create a linear configuration, use the
linear configuration constructor function directly without going via the
switch config method, otherwise we might incorrectly fall back to the
fallback configuration (only enable primary monitor).
This is a regression introduced by 6267732bec.

Which eliminates the 1px jitter that was visible when dragging windows,
and eliminates the flickering that was visible when pushing the cursor
against the right/bottom edges of the screen.
If a display device (touchscreen, tablet with libwacom integration flags)
does not receive a monitor through settings. Delegate on the
MetaInputMapper so it receives a mapping through heuristics.
This object takes care of mapping absolute devices to monitors,
to do so it uses 3 heuristics, in this order of preference:
- If a device is known to be builtin, it's assigned to the
builtin monitor.
- If input device and monitor match sizes (with an error margin
of 5%)
- If input device name and monitor vendor/product in EDID match
somehow (from "full", through "partial", to just "vendor")
The most favorable outputs are then assigned to each device, making
sure not to assign two devices of the same kind to the same output.
This object replaces (and is mostly 1:1 with) GsdDeviceMapper in
g-s-d. That object would perform these same heuristics, and let
mutter indirectly know through settings changes. This object allows
doing the same in-process.
Since now we don't set the swap throttled value based
on sync-to-vblank, we can effectively remove it from
Cogl. Throttling swap buffers in Cogl is as much a
historical artifact as sync-to-vblank. Furthermore,
it doesn't make sense to disable it on a compositor,
which is the case with the embedded Cogl.
In addition to that, the winsys vfunc for updating
whenever swap throttling changes could also be removed,
since swap throttling is always enabled now.
Removing it means less code, less branches when running,
and one less config option to deal with.
This also removes the micro-perf test, since it doesn't
make sense for the case where Cogl is embedded into the
compositor.

Externally setting the sync-to-vblank setting was a feature
added as a workaround to old Intel and ATI graphic cards, and
is not needed anymore. Furthermore, it doesn't make sense to
change it on a compositor whatsoever.
This commit removes all the ways to externally change this
setting, as well as the now unused API.

The nested stage tries to emulate how CRTCs are drawn, but fails to do
this when a stage view is scaled as it didn't adapt the viewport size
according to the stage view scale.

Add MUTTER_DEBUG_DUMMY_MONITORS_SPECS env variable support so that you can define

risk precision loss by float to int casting, which could result in a too

Modal ungrabs may be followed by other clients trying to grab themselves,
flush the connection so we ensure the right order of events on the Xserver
side.
An example of this is js/ui/modalDialog.js in gnome-shell, as the alt-F2
dialog may launch X11 clients trying to grab themselves, commit a40daa3c22
in gnome-shell handled the case and added a gdk_display_sync() call to
ensure no grab existed at the time of executing.
This commit aims to achieve the same built in MetaBackend. A full sync
seems excessive though, as we just need to make sure the server got the
messages queued before the other side tries to grab, a XFlush seems
sufficient for this.
The nested backend used the value from udev, meaning that one couldn't
configure the fake monitor if the laptop panel of the host was closed.
Avoid this annoyance by always having the nested backend claiming the
lid is open.
It wasn't implemented by any subclass, it's not provided by DRM either.
And even if a subclass were to have only a file available, it could read
it into a GBytes as well and just use `read_edid()`.
Found this while working on !269.
Because it is implemented and always on. By advertising this fact
the master clock is able to sync to the native refresh rate instead
of always using the fallback of 60.00Hz.

Add support for getting hardware presentation times from KMS (Wayland
sessions). Also implement cogl_get_clock_time which is required to compare
and judge the age of presentation timestamps.
For single monitor systems this is straightforward. For multi-monitor
systems though we have to choose a display to sync to. The compositor
already partially solves this for us in the case of only one display
updating because it will only use the subset of monitors that are
changing. In the case of multiple monitors consuming the same frame
concurrently however, we choose the fastest one (in use at the time).
Note however that we also need !73 to land in order to fully realize
multiple monitors running at full speed.
Use cogl_framebuffer_read_pixels_into_bitmap () instead of
glReadPixels () for the CPU copy path in multi-GPU support.
The cogl function employs several tricks to make the read-pixels as fast
as possible and does the y-flip as necessary. This should make the copy
more performant over all kinds of hardware.
This is expected to be used on virtual outputs (e.g. DisplayLink USB
docks and monitors) foremost, where the dumb buffer memory is just
regular system memory. If the dumb buffer memory is somehow slow, like
residing in discrete VRAM or having an unexpected caching mode, it may
be possible for the cogl function perform worse because it might do the
y-flip in-place in the dumb buffer. Hopefully that does not happen in
any practical scenario.
Calling meta_renderer_native_gles3_read_pixels () here was conceptually
wrong to begin with because it was done with the Cogl GL context of the
primary GPU, not on the GL ES 3 context of a secondary GPU. However,
due eglBindAPI being a no-op in Mesa and the glReadPixels () arguments
being compatible, it worked.
This patch adds a pixel format conversion table between DRM and Cogl
formats. It contains more formats than absolutely necessary and the
texture components field which is currently unused for completeness. See
Mutter issue #323. Making the table more complete documents better how
the pixel formats actually map so that posterity should be less likely
to be confused. This table could be shared with
shm_buffer_get_cogl_pixel_format () as well, but not with
meta_wayland_dma_buf_buffer_attach ().
On HP ProBook 4520s laptop (Mesa DRI Intel(R) Ironlake Mobile, Mesa
18.0.5), without this patch copy_shared_framebuffer_cpu () for a
DisplayLink output takes 5 seconds with a 1080p frame. Obviously that
makes Mutter and gnome-shell completely unusable. With this patch, that
function takes 13-18 ms which makes it usable if not fluent.
On Intel i7-4790 (Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Desktop) machine, this patch
makes no significant difference (the copy takes 4-5 ms).
The format will be needed in a following commit in the CPU copy path
which stops hardcoding another format and starts using the format the
dumb FB was created with.
Change the callers of init_dumb_fb () to use DRM format codes. DRM and
GBM format codes are identical, but since this is about dumb buffers,
DRM formats fit better.
The header /usr/include/gbm.h installed by Mesa says:
* The FourCC format codes are taken from the drm_fourcc.h definition, and
* re-namespaced. New GBM formats must not be added, unless they are
* identical ports from drm_fourcc.
That refers to the GBM_FORMAT_* codes.
Virtual keyboard and pointer are freed on session close, but the
virtual touchscreen isn't.
Avoid a leak by freeing the virtual touchscreen along with the rest of
virtual devices.
