Certain kernel drivers can take an unreasonably long time to
complete mode setting operations. That excessive CPU time is charged
to the process's rlimits which can lead to the process getting killed
if the thread is a real-time thread.
This commit inhibits real-time scheduling around mode setting
commits, since those commits are the ones currently presenting as
excessively slow.

vc4's implementation of `drmModeAtomicCommit` seems to require a few
milliseconds advanced notice or else it will miss the frame deadline.
That's too high for our deadline evasion threshold which is measured
in microseconds. Let's stop trying to use deadline timers on vc4 to
avoid this conflict without having to disable atomic KMS.

If the deadline timer is disabled (like on nvidia-drm or when
`MUTTER_DEBUG_KMS_THREAD_TYPE=user`), then we need to call
`meta_kms_device_set_needs_flush` on every cursor movement. But some were
getting skipped if they coincided with page flips, which resulted in some
cursor movements failing to schedule the frame clock. This resulted in
unnecessary levels of frame skips when using lower frequency input devices
which are less likely to provide another event within the same frame period.

queue_update() in a previous iteration was called in two situations:
* A page flip was already pending, meaning if we would commit an
update, it'd fail with EBUSY.
* A update was marked as "always-defer" meaning it should only be
processed from the deadline callback (would there be one). These were
used for cursor-only updates.
In the latter, we had to arm the deadline timer when queuing a new
update, if it wasn't armed already, while in the former, we would
currently idle, waiting for the page flip callback. At that callback
would the deadline timer be re-armed again.
Since we're only handling the former now, we'll never need to arm the
timer again, so remove code doing so. The code removed were never
actually executed anymore, after the "always-defer" flag on updates was
removed.

Primary plane updates were forgetting to do this in OnscreenNative, but
rather than do it for each post there we should simply do it for each
post.
This fixes cursor stutter in the fallback path (not using deadline timers)
where needs_flush_crtcs would remain populated but CRTC_NEEDS_FLUSH would
never be emitted, because handle_flush hadn't been called for the last
post.
This is safe as the current use of scheduled flushing is only for cursor
updates, and since cursor updates happen on the same thread as processing,
and due to the fact that we always use the most up to date cursor position
when flushing, we never risk leaving an old cursor state unflushed.

This makes it possible to post KMS updates that will always defer until
just before the scanout deadline. This is useful to allow queuing cursor
updates where we don't want to post them to KMS immediately, but rather
wait until as late as possible to get lower latency.
We cannot delay primary plane compositions however, and this is due to
how the kernel may prioritize GPU work - not until a pipeline gets
attached to a atomic commit will it in some drivers get bumped to high
priority. This means we still need to post any update that depends on
OpenGL pipelines as soon as possible.
To avoid working on compositing, then getting stomped on the feet by the
deadline scheduler, the deadline timer is disarmed whenever there is a
frame currently being painted. This will still allow new cursor updates
to arrive during composition, but will delay the actual KMS commit until
the primary plane update has been posted.
Still, even for cursor-only we still need higher than default timing
capabilities, thus the deadline scheduler depends on the KMS thread
getting real-time scheduling priority. When the thread isn't realtime
scheduled, the KMS thread instead asks the main thread to "flush" the
commit as part of the regular frame update. A flushing update means one
that isn't set to always defer and has a latching CRTC.
The verbose KMS debug logging makes the processing take too long, making
us more likely to miss the deadline. Avoid this by increasing the
evasion length when debug logging is enabled. Not the best, but better
than changing the behavior completely.

It's the impl side that wants to add impl side idle sources, or fd
sources, etc, so make it part of MetaThreadImpl.
This changes things to be GAsyncQueue based. While things are still
technically single threaded, the GAsyncQueue type is used as later we'll
introduce queuing tasks asynchronously, then eventually queuing across
thread barriers.

It currently does exactly what MetaKms and MetaKmsImpl did regarding the
context separation, which is to isolate what may eventually run on a KMS
thread into a separate unit. It works somewhat like a "user thread",
i.e. not a real thread, but will eventually learn how to spawn a
"kernel thread", but provide the same API from the outside.

On hotplug, the events we receive from the kernel are async, and
connectors in the kernel come and go as they please. In practice, this
means that calling drmModeGetConnector() twice more or less directly
after each other, there is no guarantee that the latter call will return
anything if the former did.
When updating the connector in response to hotplugs, we'd first update
the list of existing connectors, and following that, query each and
every one again for their current state, to update our internal
representation; only the former handled drmModeGetConnector() returning
NULL, meaning if unlucky, we'd end up doing a null pointer dereference
when trying to update the state.
Handle this by querying the kernel for the current connector state only
once per connector, updating the list of connectors and their
corresponding state at the same time.

We started to report resource changes using prediction when an update
had been successfully committed. While at it, gamma changes were
reported too, but this was problematic, as gsd-color will listen for the
MonitorsChanged D-Bus signal and naively set the gamma again, even if it
didn't change. There aren't currently any actual use cases for being
told when gamma changes from a prediction, so just ignore it and just
report privacy screen changes.
This avoids a feedback loop between mutter and gsd-color.

When we change the privacy screen, we added a result listener to the KMS
update object to notify the upper layer about the privacy screen state
change. This was slightly awkward as one might have changed the state
multiple times for a single update, thus it was necessary to remove any
old result listeners to an update before adding a new one.
Doing this will not be possible when updates are fully async and managed
by the KMS impl device.
To handle this, instead make the post-commit prediction notify about
changes that happens in response to a successfully committed update. We
already predicted the new privacy screen state, so the necessary change
was to plumb the actual change into a callback which emits the signal if
there actually was a privacy screen change.
This will then be communicated via the same signal listener that already
listens to the 'resources-changed' signal.

The name had a bit conceptual conflicts with MetaKmsUpdate, as it shared
its namespace but had no relation to it. Fix this by renaming it
MetaKmsResourceChanges (and the corresponding META_KMS_UPDATE_CHANGE_*
to META_KMS_RESOURCE_CHANGE_*). The term "resource" is used since that's
already used in the signal, and the fact that the changes partly comes
from changes in the DRM resource as retrieved by drmModeGetResources.

Updating the PropTable has the side effect that the parse callback now
also gets called on hotplug but it is used to initialize data. The parse

If some connectors disappeared, but the rest didn't change, we missed
actually removing the ones that disappeared, as we incorrectly assumed
nothing changed. Fix this by only assuming nothing changed if 1) we
didn't add any connector, and 2) we have the same amount of connectors
as before the hotplug event. The connector comparison checking makes
sure we report changes if anything of the still available connectors
changed.

On hotplug events we may get informations about what CRTC or connector
changed a property (and the property itself), so in such case let's just

Since we cache already all the KMS parameters we care about let's check at
each device update if anything has really changed and only in such case
emit a resources-changed signal.
In this way we can also filter out the DRM parameters that when changed
don't require a full monitors rebuild.
Examples are the gamma settings or the privacy screen parameters, that
emits an udev "hotplug" event when changed, but we want to register those
only when we handle the changed property.

This changes the way the KMS backends load; if we're headless, we always
use the dummy one and fail otherwise; in other cases, we first try the
atomic backend, and if that fails, fall back on the simple one.
The aim for this is to have the impl device open and close the device
when needed, using the device pool directly.

When drmModePageFlip() or drmModeAtomicCommit() unexpectedly failed (e.g.
ENOSPC, which has been seen in the wild), this failure was not handled
very gracefully. The page flip listener for the scanout was left in the
MetaKmsUpdate, meaning when the primary plane composition was later page
flipped, two page flip listeners were added, one for the primary plane,
and one for the scanout. This caused the 'page-flipped' event to be
handled twice, the second time being fatal.
Handle this by making 'no-discard' listener flag be somewhat reversed,
and say 'drop-on-error', and then drop all 'drop-on-error' listeners
when a MetaKmsUpdate failed to be processed.
Also for a "preserve" flagged update, don't ever trigger "discard"
callbacks just yet, as preserved updates are used again for the primary
plane composition, in order to not miss e.g. CRTC gamma updates, or
cursor plane updates, which were added separately.

Currently our only entry point for DRM devices is MetaKms*, but in order
to run without being DRM master, we cannot use /dev/dri/card*, nor can
we be either of the existing MetaKmsImplDevice implementation (legacy
KMS, and atomic KMS), as they both depend on being DRM master.
Thus to handle running without being DRM master (i.e. headless), add a
"dummy" MetaKmsImplDevice implementation, that doesn't do any mode
setting at all, and that switches to operate on the render node, instead
of the card node itself.
This means we still use the same GBM code paths as the regular native
backend paths, except we never make use of any CRTC backed onscreen
framebuffers.
Eventually, this "dummy" MetaKmsImplDevice will be replaced separating
"KMS" device objects from "render" device objects, but that will require
more significant changes. It will, however, be necessary for e.g. going
from being headless, only having access to a render node, to turning
into a real session, with a seat, being DRM master, and having access to
a card node.
This is currently not hooked up, but will be in a later commit.
