This commit introduces, and makes use of, a transactional API used for setting up KMS state, later to be applied, potentially atomically. From an API point of view, so is always the case, but in the current implementation, it still uses legacy drmMode* API to apply the state non-atomically. The API consists of various buliding blocks: * MetaKmsUpdate - a set of configuration changes, the higher level handle for handing over configuration to the impl backend. It's used to set mode, assign framebuffers to planes, queue page flips and set connector properties. * MetaKmsPlaneAssignment - the assignment of a framebuffer to a plane. Currently used to map a framebuffer to the primary plane of a CRTC. In the legacy KMS implementation, the plane assignment is used to derive the framebuffer used for mode setting and page flipping. This also means various high level changes: State, excluding configuring the cursor plane and creating/destroying DRM framebuffer handles, are applied in the end of a clutter frame, in one go. From an API point of view, this is done atomically, but as mentioned, only the non-atomic implementation exists so far. From MetaRendererNative's point of view, a page flip now initially always succeeds; the handling of EBUSY errors are done asynchronously in the MetaKmsImpl backend (still by retrying at refresh rate, but postponing flip callbacks instead of manipulating the frame clock). Handling of falling back to mode setting instead of page flipping is notified after the fact by a more precise page flip feedback API. EGLStream based page flipping relies on the impl backend not being atomic, as the page flipping is done in the EGLStream backend (e.g. nvidia driver). It uses a 'custom' page flip queueing method, keeping the EGLStream logic inside meta-renderer-native.c. Page flip handling is moved to meta-kms-impl-device.c from meta-gpu-kms.c. It goes via an extra idle callback before reaching meta-renderer-native.c to make sure callbacks are invoked outside of the impl context. While dummy power save page flipping is kept in meta-renderer-native.c, the EBUSY handling is moved to meta-kms-impl-simple.c. Instead of freezing the frame clock, actual page flip callbacks are postponed until all EBUSY retries have either succeeded or failed due to some other error than EBUSY. This effectively inhibits new frames to be drawn, meaning we won't stall waiting on the file descriptor for pending page flips. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/548 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/525 |

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.

The coding style used is primarily the GNU flavor of the GNOME coding
style
with some minor additions such as preferring stdint.h types over GLib
fundamental types, and a soft 80 character line limit. However, in general,
look at the file you're editing for inspiration.
Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message guidelines. We require an URL to either an issue or a merge request in each commit.
