Sometimes the automatically selected primary GPU isn't suitable with no
way to make an well educated guess to do it better. To make it possible
for the user to override the automatically calculated default, make it
possible to override it using a udev rule.
E.g. to select /dev/dri/card1 as the primary GPU, add a file e.g.
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-mutter-primary-gpu.rules (path my vary
depending on distribution) containing the fellowing line:
ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/dri/card1", TAG+="mutter-device-preferred-primary"
Reboot or manual triggering of udev rules to make it take effect may be
required.

A first step towards abandoning the CoglObject type system: convert
CoglFramebuffer, CoglOffscreen and CoglOnscreen into GObjects.
CoglFramebuffer is turned into an abstract GObject, while the two others
are currently final. The "winsys" and "platform" are still sprinkled
'void *' in the the non-abstract type instances however.

Even when a direct client buffer has a compatible format, stride and
modifier for direct scanout, drmModePageFlip() may still fail sometimes.
From testing, it has been observed that it may seemingly randomly fail
with ENOSPC, where all subsequent attempts later on the same CRTC
failing with EBUSY.
Handle this by falling back to flipping after having composited a full
frame again.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1410
Replace the default master clock with multiple frame clocks, each
driving its own stage view. As each stage view represents one CRTC, this
means we draw each CRTC with its own designated frame clock,
disconnected from all the others.
For example this means we when using the native backend will never need
to wait for one monitor to vsync before painting another, so e.g. having
a 144 Hz monitor next to a 60 Hz monitor, things including both Wayland
and X11 applications and shell UI will be able to render at the
corresponding monitor refresh rate.
This also changes a warning about missed frames when sending
_NETWM_FRAME_TIMINGS messages to a debug log entry, as it's expected
that we'll start missing frames e.g. when a X11 window (via Xwayland) is
exclusively within a stage view that was not painted, while another one
was, still increasing the global frame clock.
Addititonally, this also requires the X11 window actor to schedule
timeouts for _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN/_NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS event emitting,
if the actor wasn't on any stage views, as now we'll only get the frame
callbacks on actors when they actually were painted, while in the past,
we'd invoke that vfunc when anything was painted.

The native backend had a plain counter, and the X11 backend used the
CoglOnscreen of the screen; change it into a plain counter in
ClutterStageCogl. This also moves the global frame count setting to the
frame info constuctor.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
We currently have mutter set a global frame counter on the frame info in
the native backend, but in order to do this from clutter, change the
frame info construction from being implicitly done so when swapping
buffers to having the caller create the frame info and passing that to
the swap buffers call.
While this commit doesn't introduce any other changes than the API, the
intention is later to have the caller be able to pass it's own state
(e.g. the global frame count) along with the frame info.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
Currently unused, but it's intention is to use as a initial refresh rate
for a with the stage view associated frame clock. It defaults to 60 Hz
if nothing sets it, but the native backend sets it to the associated
CRTCs current mode's refresh rate.

The ID and name are just moved into the instance private, while the rest
is moved to a `MetaCrtcModeInfo` struct which is used during
construction and retrieved via a getter. Opens up the possibility to
add actual sub types.

Just as with MetaOutput, instead of the home baked "inheritance" system,
using a gpointer and a GDestroyNotify function to keep the what
effectively is sub type details, make MetaCrtc an abstract derivable
type, and make the implementations inherit it.

When we created the DMA buffer backed CoglFramebuffer, we handed it over
to CoglDmaBufHandle which took its own reference. What we failed to do
was to release our own reference to it, effectively leaking it.

Will be used for logging to identify what view a log entry concerns. For
the native and nested backend this is the name of the output the CRTC is
assigned to drive; for X11 it's just "X11 screen", and for the legacy
"X11 screen" emulation mode of the nested backend it's called "legacy
nested".

While this is fairly incomplete, as to check things fully we need to use
TEST_ONLY in atomic to try out a complete assignment on the device, but
this works well enough for legacy non-modifier cases.

Instead of always swapping buffers and flipping the back buffer, make it
possible to scan out a provided buffer directly without swapping any EGL
buffers.
A buffer is passed as an object implementing the empty CoglScanout
interface. It is only possible to do this in the native backend; and the
interface is implemented by MetaDrmBufferGbm. When directly scanned out,
instead of calling gbm_surface_lock_front_buffer() to get the gbm_bo and
fbid, get it directly from the MetaDrmBufferGbm, and use that to create
the page flip KMS update.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/798
Surface buffers are created with meta_drm_buffer_new_acquire(), taking a
gbm_surface acquiring the gbm itself, and meta_drm_buffer_new_take()
that takes over ownership of a passed gbm_bo.

The port to per CRTC views was incomplete; we still used the logical
monitor layout as the stage view layout, while still using one view per
CRTC.
This worked fine for most cases, e.g. regular monitors, tiled or
non-tiled, transformed or non-transformed. Where it broke, however, was
when a monitor consists of multiple CRTCs. We already have the layout a
CRTC corresponds to on the stage kept with the CRTC metadata, so use
this directly.

This is so that cogl-trace.h can start using things from cogl-macros.h,
and so that it doesn't leak cogl-config.h into the world, while exposing
it to e.g. gnome-shell so that it can make use of it as well. There is
no practical reason why we shouldn't just include cogl-trace.h via
cogl.h as we do with everything else.

Create a new gbm_bo using the same given geometry, and export the new
bo's DMA buffer fd. The new bo lives as long as necessary to be used,
and reused, by PipeWire.
Unfortunately, PipeWire doesn't support modifiers properly, so use the
linear format for now. For now, a hardcoded format of DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888
is set, so we don't need to negotiate the format with PipeWire early.

Prior to this commit the stage was drawn separately for each logical
monitor. This allowed to draw different parts of the stage with
different transformations, e.g. with a different viewport to implement
HiDPI support.
Go even further and have one view per CRTC. This causes the stage to
e.g. draw two mirrored monitors twice, instead of using the same
framebuffer on both. This enables us to do two things: one is to support
tiled monitors and monitor mirroring using the EGLStreams backend; the
other is that it'll enable us to tie rendering directly to the CRTC it
will render for. It is also a requirement for rendering being affected
by CRTC state, such as gamma.
It'll be possible to still inhibit re-drawing of the same content
twice, but it should be implemented differently, so that it will still
be possible to implement features requiring the CRTC split.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/1042
To make it more reliable to distinguish between values that are read
from the backend implementation (which is likely to be irrelevant for
anything but the backend implementation), split out those values (e.g.
layout).
This changes the meaning of what was MetaCrtc::rect, to a
MetaCrtcConfig::layout which is the layout the CRTC has in the global
coordinate space.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/1042
The current API as all synchronous, so they can be made to return
feedback immediately. This will be needed for the cursor renderer which
needs to know whether it should fall back to OpenGL cursor rendering.

Where possible, try to export the buffer rendered by the primary GPU as a
dmabuf and import it to the secondary GPU and turn it into a DRM FB for
scanout. If this works, we get a zero-copy path to secondary GPU outputs.
This is especially useful on virtual drivers like EVDI (used for DisplayLink
devices) which are not picky at all about what kind of FBs they can handle.
The zero-copy path is prioritised after the secondary GPU copy path, which
should avoid regressions for existing working systems. Attempting zero-copy
would have the risk of being less performant than doing the copy on the
secondary GPU. This does not affect the DisplayLink use case, because there is
no GPU in a DisplayLink device.
The zero-copy path is prioritised before the primary GPU and CPU copy paths. It
will be tried on the first frame of an output and the copy path is executed
too. If zero-copy fails, the result from the copy path will take over on that
frame. Furthermore, zero-copy will not be attemped again on that output. If
zero-copy succeeds, the copy path is de-initialized.
Zero-copy is assumed to be always preferable over the primary GPU and CPU copy
paths. Whether this is universally true remains to be seen.
This patch has one unhandled failure mode: if zero-copy path first succeeds and
then fails later, there is no fallback and the output is left frozen or black.

With all the three paths this is quite a handful of code, and it was mostly
duplicated in two places. A follow-up patch would need to introduce a third
copy of it. Therefore move the code into a helper function.
There are two behavioral changes:
- The format error now prints the string code as well, because it is easy to
read.
- The g_debug() in init_dumb_fb() is removed. Did not seem useful.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/810
There will be another place where I need to release the dumb buffers but not
destroy the whole secondary_gpu_state, so extract this bit of code into a
helper.
The checks of fb_id are dropped as redundant with the check already in in
release_dumb_fb ().
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/810
release_dumb_fb () checks 'map' to see if anything needs freeing. Other places
are checking fb_id instead. The checks maybe redundant, but let's reset all
fields here while at it, so that all the checks work as expected.
