Because it is implemented and always on. By advertising this fact
the master clock is able to sync to the native refresh rate instead
of always using the fallback of 60.00Hz.

Add support for getting hardware presentation times from KMS (Wayland
sessions). Also implement cogl_get_clock_time which is required to compare
and judge the age of presentation timestamps.
For single monitor systems this is straightforward. For multi-monitor
systems though we have to choose a display to sync to. The compositor
already partially solves this for us in the case of only one display
updating because it will only use the subset of monitors that are
changing. In the case of multiple monitors consuming the same frame
concurrently however, we choose the fastest one (in use at the time).
Note however that we also need !73 to land in order to fully realize
multiple monitors running at full speed.
Use cogl_framebuffer_read_pixels_into_bitmap () instead of
glReadPixels () for the CPU copy path in multi-GPU support.
The cogl function employs several tricks to make the read-pixels as fast
as possible and does the y-flip as necessary. This should make the copy
more performant over all kinds of hardware.
This is expected to be used on virtual outputs (e.g. DisplayLink USB
docks and monitors) foremost, where the dumb buffer memory is just
regular system memory. If the dumb buffer memory is somehow slow, like
residing in discrete VRAM or having an unexpected caching mode, it may
be possible for the cogl function perform worse because it might do the
y-flip in-place in the dumb buffer. Hopefully that does not happen in
any practical scenario.
Calling meta_renderer_native_gles3_read_pixels () here was conceptually
wrong to begin with because it was done with the Cogl GL context of the
primary GPU, not on the GL ES 3 context of a secondary GPU. However,
due eglBindAPI being a no-op in Mesa and the glReadPixels () arguments
being compatible, it worked.
This patch adds a pixel format conversion table between DRM and Cogl
formats. It contains more formats than absolutely necessary and the
texture components field which is currently unused for completeness. See
Mutter issue #323. Making the table more complete documents better how
the pixel formats actually map so that posterity should be less likely
to be confused. This table could be shared with
shm_buffer_get_cogl_pixel_format () as well, but not with
meta_wayland_dma_buf_buffer_attach ().
On HP ProBook 4520s laptop (Mesa DRI Intel(R) Ironlake Mobile, Mesa
18.0.5), without this patch copy_shared_framebuffer_cpu () for a
DisplayLink output takes 5 seconds with a 1080p frame. Obviously that
makes Mutter and gnome-shell completely unusable. With this patch, that
function takes 13-18 ms which makes it usable if not fluent.
On Intel i7-4790 (Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Desktop) machine, this patch
makes no significant difference (the copy takes 4-5 ms).
The format will be needed in a following commit in the CPU copy path
which stops hardcoding another format and starts using the format the
dumb FB was created with.
Change the callers of init_dumb_fb () to use DRM format codes. DRM and
GBM format codes are identical, but since this is about dumb buffers,
DRM formats fit better.
The header /usr/include/gbm.h installed by Mesa says:
* The FourCC format codes are taken from the drm_fourcc.h definition, and
* re-namespaced. New GBM formats must not be added, unless they are
* identical ports from drm_fourcc.
That refers to the GBM_FORMAT_* codes.
We were using the connector_id for the winsys_id, but different
devices could have connectors with the same id. Since we use
winsys_id to uniquely identify outputs, use both the connector
id and the device id to avoid having outputs with the same id.
Python is not guaranteed to be installed in /usr/bin. This is especially
true for *BSD systems which don't consider Python as an integral part of
their systems.
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.
drmModePageFlip() is guaranteed to fail for the invalid FB id 0.
Therefore it never makes sense to call this function with such argument.
Disabling a CRTC must be done with SetCrtc instead, for example.
Trying to flip to FB 0 not only fails, but it also causes Mutter to
never try page flip on this output again, using drmModeSetCrtc()
instead.
There was a race in setting next_fb_id when a secondary GPU was using
the CPU copy path. Losing this race caused the attempt to
drmModePageFlip () to FB ID 0 which is invalid and always fails. Failing
to flip causes Mutter to fall back to drmModeSetCrtc () permanently.
In meta_onscreen_native_swap_buffers_with_damage ():
- update_secondary_gpu_state_pre_swap_buffers ()
- copy_shared_framebuffer_cpu () but only on the CPU copy path
- secondary_gpu_state->gbm.next_fb_id is set
- wait_for_pending_flips ()
- Waits for any remaining page flip events and executes and destroys
the related page flip closures.
- on_crtc_flipped ()
- meta_onscreen_native_swap_drm_fb ()
- swap_secondary_drm_fb ()
- secondary_gpu_state->gbm.next_fb_id = 0;
- meta_onscreen_native_flip_crtcs ()
- meta_onscreen_native_flip_crtc ()
- meta_gpu_kms_flip_crtc () gets called with fb_id = 0
This race was observed lost when running 'mutter --wayland' on a machine
with two outputs on Intel and one output on DisplayLink USB dock, and
wiggling around a weston-terminal window between the Intel and
DisplayLink outputs. It took from a second to a minute to trigger. For
testing with DisplayLink outputs Mutter also needed a patch to take the
DisplayLink output into use, as it would have otherwise been ignored
being a platform device rather than a PCI device.
Fix this race by first waiting for pending flips and only then
proceeding with the swap operations. This should be safe, because the
pending flips could have completed already before entering
meta_onscreen_native_swap_buffers_with_damage ().
meta_renderer_native_gles3_read_pixels() was assuming that the target
buffer stride == width * 4. This is not generally true. When a DRM
driver allocates a dumb buffer, it is free to choose a stride so that
the buffer can actually work on the hardware.
Record the driver chosen stride in MetaDumbBuffer, and use it in the CPU
copy path. This should fix any possible stride issues in
meta_renderer_native_gles3_read_pixels().
Track the allocated dumb buffer size in MetaDumbBuffer. Assert that the
size is as expected in copy_shared_framebuffer_cpu().
This is just to ensure that Cogl and the real size match. The size from
Cogl was used in the copy, so getting that wrong might have written
beyond the allocation.
This is a safety measure and has not been observed to happen yet.
If drmModeAddFB2() does not work, the fallback to drmModeAddFB() can
only handle a single specific format. Make sure the requested format is
that one format, and fail the operation otherwise.
This should at least makes the failure mode obvious on such old systems
where the kernel does not support AddFB2, rather than producing wrong
colors.
Previously, trackballs were detected based on the presence of the
substring "trackball" in the device name. This had the downside of
missing devices, such as the Kensington Expert Mouse, which don't have
"trackball" in their names.
Rather than depending on the device name, use the ID_INPUT_TRACKBALL
property from udev to determine whether or not to treat a device as a
trackball.
This adds a new function, `is_trackball_device`, to MetaInputEvents, and
eliminates the `meta_input_device_is_trackball` function.

The "backends: Move MetaOutput::crtc field into private struct"
accidentally changed the view transform calculation code to assume that
"MetaCrtc::transform" corresponds to the transform of the CRTC; so is
not the case yet; one must calculate the transform from the logical
monitor, and check whether it is supported by the CRTC using
meta_monitor_manager_is_transform_handled(). This commit restores the
old behaviour that doesn't use MetaCrtc::transform when calculating the
view transform.

We need a way for mutter to exit if no available GPUs are going to work.
For example if gdm starts gnome-shell and we're using a DRM driver that
doesn't work with KMS then we should exit so that GDM can try with Xorg,
rather than operating in headless mode.

Commit c0d9b08ef9 replaced the old GBM API calls
with the multi-plane GBM API. However, the call to gbm_bo_get_handle_for_plane
fails for some DRI drivers (in particular i915). Due to missing error checks,
the subsequent call to drmModeAddFB[2] fails and the screen output locks up.
This commit adds the missing error checks and falls back to the old GBM API
(non-planar) if necessary.
v5: test success of gbm_bo_get_handle_for_plane instead of errno
This commit adopts solution proposed by Daniel van Vugt to check the return
value of gbm_bo_get_handle_for_plane on plane 0 and fall back to old
non-planar method if the call fails. This removes the errno check (for
ENOSYS) that could abort if mesa ever sets a different value.

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.

If drmModeSetCrtc() is called with no fb, mode or connectors for some
CRTC it may still fail, and we should handle that gracefully instead of
assuming it failed to set a non-disabled state.

Commit 712ec30cd9 added the logic to only
choose EGL configs that match the GBM_FORMAT_XRGB8888 pixel format.
However, there won't be any EGL config satisfying such criteria for
non-GBM backends, such as EGLDevice.
This change will let us choose the first EGL config for the EGLDevice
backend, while still forcing GBM_FORMAT_XRGB8888 configs for the GBM
one.

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.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/77
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.

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.

drmModeAddFB2 allows userspace to specify a real format enum on
non-ancient kernels, as an improvement over the legacy drmModeAddFB
which derives format from a fixed depth/bpp mapping.
As an optimisation, Weston used to decide at the first failure of
drmModeAddFB2 that the ioctl was unavailable: as non-existent DRM
ioctls return -EINVAL rather than -ENOSYS or similar, bad parameters are
not distinguishable from the ioctl not being present.
Mutter has also implemented the same optimisation for dumb framebuffers,
which potentially papers over errors for the gain of avoiding one ioctl
which will rapidly fail on ancient kernels. Remove the optimisation and
always use AddFB2 where possible.
Closes: #14
When using the EGLStream backend, the MetaRendererNative passed a
GClosure to KMS when using EGLStreams, but KMS flip callback event
handler in meta-gpu-kms.c expected a closure wrapped in a closure
container, meaning it'd instead crash when using EGLStreams. Make the
flip handler get what it expects also when using EGLStreams by wrapping
the flip closure in the container before handing it over to EGL.
