If the cursor sprite does not match the scale factor or transformation
of the monintor, we currently fall back to a software cursor, causing
redraws of the shell. This commit implements scaling and transforming
of the cursor sprite, so we can use it with hardware planes, too.
This commit does the following steps:
1. Make sure we reupload the cursor image if the cursor is over
a logical monitor not matching the scale or transform from the previous
update.
2. Before upload to the hardware plane, scale and transform the cursor
image if possible and necessary.
3. Make sure we always use the hardware cursor if possible (only fall
back to software/OGL cursor if it is visible on multiple logical monitors
with differet scales/transforms).
4. Transform or scale the cursor coordinates if necessary.

Turns the cursor setting and movement into cursor plane assignment
primitives. In the current simple implementation, this in turn
translates into legacy drmModeSetCursor() and drmModeMoveCursor() calls.

Properly take the panel_orientation_transform into account in
update_monitor_crtc_cursor. This fixes us sometimes drawing the cursor
on two monitors at the same time as we did not properly swap the crtc
width/height when a panel_orientation_transform is active.

When we freed the cursor GPU state including the gbm_bo objects attached
to it, we didn't unset the cursor renderer private of the CRTCs of the
associated GPU. This means that HW cursor invalidation could potentially
break if a new gbm_bo happened to be allocated at the same memory
address as the previous one.
To avoid this, iterate through the CRTCs of the GPU of which the cursor
data is freed, and unset the cursor renderer private if it was the one
destroyed.

Commit 25f416c13d added additional compilation warnings, including
-Werror=return-type. There are several places where this results
in build failures if `g_assert_not_reached()` is disabled at compile
time and the compiler misses a return value.

There may be reasons to temporarly inhibit the HW cursor under certain
circumstances. Allow adding such inhibitations by adding API to the
cursor renderer to allow API users to add generic inhibitors with
whatever logic is deemed necessary.

Which eliminates the 1px jitter that was visible when dragging windows,
and eliminates the flickering that was visible when pushing the cursor
against the right/bottom edges of the screen.
The order and way include macros were structured was chaotic, with no
real common thread between files. Try to tidy up the mess with some
common scheme, to make things look less messy.
The function is intentionally provided as macro to not require a
cast. Recently the macro was improved to check that the passed in
pointer matches the free function, so the cast to GDestroyNotify
is now even harmful.

Where to realize a hardware cursor depends on where on the screen it
will be displayed. For example it only needs buffers for the cursor
plane on a certain GPU if it overlaps with a monitor that is connected
said GPU.
Previously, we were too eager with uploading the cursor plane buffers,
which in effect resulted in the secondary GPU always being woken up
when changing the cursor, even though the cursor plane would actually
never be set unless the pointer cursor was moved to a monitor connected
to the secondary GPU. These wake-ups caused noticable stuttering; thus
by uploading the buffers more lazilly, the stuttering is avoided.

When a cursor is hidden, the native backend will properly hide the HW
cursor sprite as well, but it would communicate this as if the cursor
was not handled by the backend, while in fact it still was. This caused
the generic cursor rendering layer to queue a redraw.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/77
When force-updating the HW state we might end up with a situation where
the HW cursor is no longer usable. If this would happen, we'd before
this commit not trigger the fallback paths using a GL texture.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/77
It is already handled by the monitor-updated-internal signal handler in
meta-cursor-renderer-native.c, which will always be called indirectly
by resuming the monitor manager.
While at it, remove a useless comment.

It knows better when it's needed. For now, just do it just as before,
before drawing. Eventually, we can conditionalize where to realize
depending on the cursor sprite position.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/77
Use a common entry point into the cursor renderer implementations HW
cursor realization paths for all cursor sprite types. This is in
preparation for realizing at more strategic times.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/77
The end goal here is to being able to realize at any point in time
through a single API, so start by moving state into the cursor sprite
implementation.

Rotating an output would show duplicate cursors when the pointer is
located over an area which would be within the output if not rotated.
Make sure to swap the width/height of the output when rotated.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/85
Even if the logical_monitor config does not have an active transform,
we might still be doing a transform under the hood to compensate for
panel-orientation. Check for this and fall back to the sw cursor if this
is the case.

Adding an internal signal and use it to update the internal state before
emitting "monitors-changed" which will be repeated by the screen to the world.

On hybrid GPU systems, hardware cursors needs to be realized on all the
GPUs, as scanout cursor planes cannot be shared. Do this by moving gbm
buffer and drm buffer ID management to a per GPU struct, realizing a
cursor on each GPU when previously only realized on the primary GPU.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785381
Don't permanently fall back to OpenGL based cursor rendering when
setting the HW cursor fails with EACCES as that may happen on VT
switching and other things temporarily revoking fd access.

In order to eventually support multilpe GPUs with their own connectors,
split out related meta data management (i.e. outputs, CRTCs and CRTC
modes) into a new MetaGpu GObject.
The Xrandr backend always assumes there is always only a single "GPU" as
the GPU is abstracted by the X server; only the native backend (aside
from the test backend) will eventually see more than one GPU.
The Xrandr backend still moves some management to MetaGpuXrandr, in
order to behave more similarly to the KMS counterparts.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785381
Pass the backend to a new factory function, and keep a pointer to the
monitor manager, which is accessed elsewhere in the same file instead of
fetching the singleton. The HW cursor initialization part is also made
more obvious, without depending on seemingly irrelevant clutter
features.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785381
Move finding, opening and managment of the KMS file descriptor to
MetaMonitorManagerKms. This means that the monitor manager creation can
now fail, both if more than one GPU with connectors is discovered, or
if finding or opening the primary GPU fails.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785381
Turn MetaOutput into a GObject and move it to a separate file. This
changes the storage format, resulting in changing the API for accessing
MetaOutputs from using an array, to using a GList.

The HW cursor plane can't do any transformations, and as we still don't
pre-transform any buffer before uploading to the cursor plane, we must
disable the HW cursor when a logical monitor is transformed.
This worked previously because the transform of a MetaCrtc did not
correspond to the transform of a CRTC, but the transform of the logical
monitor the CRTC was assigned to.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786023
To be able to render the pointer cursor sprite at sub-(logical)-pixel
positions, track the pointer position using floats instead of ints.
This also requires users of the cursor sprite rect to deal with
floating points, when e.g. finding the logical monitor etc.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
Add support for rotated monitors. This is done per logical monitor, as
every monitor assigned to a logical monitor must be transformed in the
same way. This includes being transformed on the same level; e.g. if
the backend does not support transforming any monitor of a logical
monitor natively, then all monitors will be transformed using the
offscreen intermediate framebuffer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The CRTC position depends on the transform and how the transform is
implemented. The function calculating the positions still doesn't
support anything but the non-transformed case; this commit is in
preparation of adding support for transforms.

This commit adds support for rendering onto enlarged per logical
monitor framebuffers, using the scaled clutter stage views, for HiDPI
enabled logical monitors.
This works by scaling the mode of the monitors in a logical monitors by
the scale, no longer relying on scaling the window actors and window
geometry for making windows have the correct size on HiDPI monitors.
It is disabled by default, as in automatically created configurations
will still use the old mode. This is partly because Xwayland clients
will not yet work good enough to make it feasible.
To enable, add the 'scale-monitor-framebuffer' keyword to the
org.gnome.mutter.experimental-features gsettings array.
It is still possible to specify the mode via the new D-Bus API, which
has been adapted.
The adaptations to the D-Bus API means the caller need to be aware of
how to position logical monitors on the stage grid. This depends on the
'layout-mode' property that is used (see the DisplayConfig D-Bus
documentation).

In some cases the hardware cursor is invisible when Mutter is launched from the
TTY, due to drmModeSetCursor2 failing without a fallback being set.
This patch captures the return value of drmModeSetCursor2 and in case of an
error, enables the texture based fallback. It adds a `broken` state, that is
checked in should_have_hw_cursor() and
meta_cursor_renderer_native_realize_cursor_from_*() to avoid copying every
cursor into a gbm buffer when we know it will fail every single time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770020
The initial state of the hardware cursor is not known, so always force
update it the first time we update the cursor. Do this by changing the
'force' flag of update_hw_cursor() to an 'invalidated' hw cursor state.
