COPY_MODE_PRIMARY has two paths, automatically chosen. For debugging purposes, e.g. why is my DisplayLink screen slowing down the whole desktop, it will be useful to know which copy path is taken. Debug prints are added to both when the primary GPU copy succeeds the first time and when it fails the first time. This is not the full truth, because theoretically the success/failure could change every frame, but we don't want to spam the logs (even in debug mode) every frame. In practise, it should be rare for the success or failure to ever change. Hence, saying what happened on the first time is enough. This does indicate if it ever changes even once, too, so we know if that unexpected thing happens. The debug prints are per secondary GPU since there could be several. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/615 |

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.

To contribute, open merge requests at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter.
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.
