Jonas Ådahl 447c51e68e renderer-native: Always post device wide updates during mode set 
Don't mode set each CRTC in separate KMS updates, as reconfiguring one
CRTC might cause other CRTCs to be implicitly reset thus as well,
causing KMS return EBUSY if using atomic modesetting.

Prepare for this by compositing each CRTC first including adding steps
to the KMS update, but wait until all views has rendered at least once
before posting the initial update. After this each CRTC is posted
separately.

Using EGLStreams instead of normal page flipping seems to fail when
doing this though, so handle that the old way for the EGLStream case,
i.e. eglSwapBuffers() -> mode set with dumb buffer -> eglStream
"acquire" (resulting in page flip under the hood).

For this we also introduce a new error code so that we don't use client
buffers when doing mode sets, which could accidentally configure the
CRTC in a way that is incompatible with the primary plane buffers.

Do the same also when we're in power save mode, to only have one special
case path for this scenario in the regular swap-buffer path.

Mutter

Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.

When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.

When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.

It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.

Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork af Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.

Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.

It can be useful to look at the documentation available at the Wiki.

Coding style and conventions

The coding style used is primarily the GNU flavor of the GNOME coding style with some additions:

  • Use regular C types and stdint.h types instead of GLib fundamental types, except for gboolean, and guint/gulong for GSource ids and signal handler ids. That means e.g. uint64_t instead of guint64, int instead of gint, unsigned int instead of guint if unsignedness is of importance, uint8_t instead of guchar, and so on.

  • Try to to limit line length to 80 characters, although it's not a strict limit.

  • Usage of g_autofree and g_autoptr are encouraged. The style used is

  g_autofree char *text = NULL;
  g_autoptr (MetaSomeThing) thing = NULL;

  text = g_strdup_printf ("The text: %d", a_number);
  thing = g_object_new (META_TYPE_SOME_THING,
                        "text", text,
                        NULL);
  thinger_use_thing (rocket, thing);

  • Declare variables at the top of the block they are used, but avoid non-trivial logic among variable declarations. Non-trivial logic can be getting a pointer that may be NULL, any kind of math, or anything that may have side effects.

  • Instead of boolean arguments in functions, prefer enums or flags when they're more expressive.

  • Use g_new0() etc instead of g_slice_new0().

  • Initialize and assign floating point variables (i.e. float or double) using the form floating_point = 3.14159 or ratio = 2.0.

Git messages

Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message guidelines. We require an URL to either an issue or a merge request in each commit. Try to always prefix commit subjects with a relevant topic, such as compositor: or clutter/actor:, and it's always better to write too much in the commit message body than too little.
