This means objects have an owner, where the chain eventually always
leads to a MetaContext. This also means that all objects can find their
way to other object instances via the chain, instead of scattered global
singletons.
This is a squashed commit originally containing the following:
cursor-tracker: Don't get backend from singleton
idle-manager: Don't get backend from singleton
input-device: Pass pointer to backend during construction
The backend is needed during construction to get the wacom database.
input-mapper: Pass backend when constructing
monitor: Don't get backend from singleton
monitor-manager: Get backend directly from monitor manager
remote: Get backend from manager class
For the remote desktop and screen cast implementations, replace getting
the backend from singletons with getting it via the manager classes.
launcher: Pass backend during construction
device-pool: Pass backend during construction
Instead of passing the (maybe null) launcher, pass the backend, and get
the launcher from there. That way we always have a way to some known
context from the device pool.
drm-buffer/gbm: Get backend via device pool
cursor-renderer: Get backend directly from renderer
input-device: Get backend getter
input-settings: Add backend construct property and getter
input-settings/x11: Don't get backend from singleton
renderer: Get backend from renderer itself
seat-impl: Add backend getter
seat/native: Get backend from instance struct
stage-impl: Get backend from stage impl itself
x11/xkb-a11y: Don't get backend from singleton
backend/x11/nested: Don't get Wayland compositor from singleton
crtc: Add backend property
Adding a link to the GPU isn't enough; the virtual CRTCs of virtual
monitors doesn't have one.
cursor-tracker: Don't get display from singleton
remote: Don't get display from singleton
seat: Don't get display from singleton
backend/x11: Don't get display from singleton

We do not need to open code the ClutterInputDeviceType fetching from a
libinput_device, since we already created a native ClutterInputDevice that
has the right type.

ClutterInputDevice's get_group_n_modes() vfunc is meant to return
-1 for groups that are out of the known range, not within. Fix the
early return condition, and let the native backend return correctly
the number of modes for the given group.

We didn't tear down the libinput objects in the right thread when
exiting, but did so after the input thread exited.
We also tried to destroy the libinput devices after the libinput context
was destroyed, which isn't allowed.
Fix these two issues by tearing down the libinput objects in a input
thread task that when done exits the input thread. This effectively
"flushes" the input thread tasks while destroying the libinput objects
just before the thread exits.
While it might fine to tear down libinput objects in an arbitrary (main
in this case) thread while making sure nothing pokes at it in parallel
(e.g. the input thread is gone), libinput is by definition single
threaded, and could theoretically make assumptions about this, and we
shouldn't cause any possible surprises here, so make sure to destroy it
all in the right thread.
This fixes an abort() on exit caused by an assert about invalid object
destruction in libinput.

Currently, the MetaInputDeviceNative owns the libinput_device, with the
small catch that it is eventually finished in the main thread (as the
CLUTTER_DEVICE_REMOVED event keeps the last reference to it).
Make it sure that the libinput_device is destroyed in the input thread,
before giving away the last extra input device references.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1639>
Make it impossible to add individual includes of input thread objects.
This must go through meta-input-thread.h now, which should be enough
to make anyone think it twice.

They're a dime a dozen. If it gets called exclusively from the
input thread, it got one. Hopefully these breadcrumbs will be
enough so people don't lose their way here.

This (now) doesn't change anything in regards to the API that the UI
thread should access from the MetaSeatImpl. The MetaInputDeviceNative,
MetaInputSettings and MetaKeymap objects are now considered owned by
the input thread, as well as all of libinput objects.
The MetaEventSource now dispatches events in a GMainContext that is
the thread default to this thread, and all UI-thread-accessible API
(seat and virtual input device API) will be handled in a serialized
manner by that same input thread.
The MetaSeatImpl itself is still considered to be owned by the caller
thread, and all the signals that this object emits will be emitted in
the GMainContext that is default at the time of calling
meta_seat_impl_new().
The MetaInputSettings configuration changes will likewise be handled
in the input thread, close to libinput devices.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Instead of going through the event queue, stage handling code, and
back to the input device via a vmethod call, do this directly in the
MetaSeatImpl. This is not too different from X11, where everything
happens inside the backend.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Wrap all keyboard state updates, and all pointer/stylus/touch cursor
position with a write lock, and ::query_state() (The only entrypoint
to this state from other threads) with a read lock.
The principle is that query_state may be called from different threads
(UI so far, but maybe KMS too in the future), while the input thread
may (or may not) be updating it. This state is fetched "atomically"
(eg. x/y will be consistently old or new, if the input thread were
updating it at the same time).
There's other places deep in backends/native that read this state,
they all will run in the input thread, so they count as "other readers"
to the other thread. Those changes are already mutually exclusive with
updates, so they don't explicitly need the RW lock.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
These changes will happen in the input event management code, so let them
be emitted via the MetaSeatImpl, as that's what we'll have neat access to.
The ClutterSeat signals are now emitted from there.

Move most of the functional bits (those meant to run on a standalone
thread) to a MetaSeatImpl object. This object is managed by the MetaSeatImpl
and not exposed outside the friend MetaSeatNative/MetaInputDeviceNative/
MetaInputSettings classes.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Use a new set in MetaInputDeviceNative, this coexists with
ClutterInputDevice coords for the time being. This API will
eventually be only accessed from the input thread.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
This is a bit scattered around, with the setter/getter in Clutter, and
it only being only directly honored in Wayland (it goes straight through
device properties in X11).
Make this private native API, and out of public ClutterInputDevice API.

As it does seem from a read to libinput code, TOUCH_CANCEL events
actually do contain slot information, and are emitted per-slot.
This means we can avoid iterating over the slots ourselves, they
are still expected to be sent altogether.

Just because X11/XI uses a particular terminology doesn't mean we
have to use the same terms in our own API. The replacement terms
are in line with gtk@1c856a208, which seems a better precedent
for consistency.
Follow-up to commit 17417a82a5.

This class sits between ClutterInputDevice and the backend implementations,
it will be the despositary of features we need across both backends, but
don't need to offer through Clutter's API.
As a first thing to have there, add a getter for a WacomDevice. This is
something scattered across and somewhat inconsistent (eg. different places
of the code create wacom devices for different device types). Just make it
here for all devices, so users can pick.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1109
The end goal is to have all clutter backend code in src/backends. Input
is the larger chunk of it, which is now part of our specific
MutterClutterBackendNative, this extends to device manager, input devices,
tools and keymap.
This was supposed to be nice and incremental, but there's no sane way
to cut this through. As a result of the refactor, a number of private
Clutter functions are now exported for external backends to be possible.
