The connection to the Xserver for the X11 window manager part of mutter
even on Wayland may prevent the Xserver from shutting down.
Currently, what mutter does is to check the X11 clients still connected
to Xwayland using the XRes extension, with a list of X11 clients that
can be safely ignored (typically the GNOME XSettings daemon, the IBus
daemon, pulseaudio and even mutter window manager itself).
When there is just those known clients remaining, mutter would kill
Xwayland automatically.
But that's racy, because between the time mutter checks with Xwayland
the remaining clients and the time it actually kills the process, a new
X11 client might have come along and won't be able to connect to
Xwayland that mutter is just about to kill.
Because of that, the feature “autoclose-xwayland” is marked as an
experimental feature in mutter and not enabled by default.
Thankfully, the Xserver has all it takes to manage that already, and
is even capable of terminating itself once all X11 clients are gone (the
-terminate option on the command line).
With XFixes version 6, the X11 clients can declare themselves
"terminatable", so that the Xserver could simply ignore those X11
clients when checking the remaining clients and terminate itself
automatically.
Use that mechanism to declare mutter's own connection to the Xserver as
"terminatable" when Xwayland is started on demand so that it won't hold
Xwayland alive for the sole purpose of mutter itself.

This commit makes it possible to run test executables in a test
environment constructed of a virtual machine running the Linux kernel
with the virtual KMS driver enabled, and a mocked system environment
using meta-dbus-runner.py/python-dbusmock.
The qemu machine is configured to use 256M of memory, as the default
128M was not enough for the tests to pass.
Using qemu is also only made possible on x86_64; more changes are needed
for it to be runnable on aarch64, so add a warning if it was enabled on
any other architecture.

Since the CI pipeline now runs `meson dist` which includes a test
for an up-to-date NEWS entry, post-branch/release version bumps
have become unwieldy.
It's still useful to increase the API version right after branching
though, so return to bumping it manually and do so now.

Create a test system bus and use it to run all the tests, add a mock
SensorsProxy (via dbusmock template) server that implements the
net.hadess.SensorProxy interface.
To make testing easier, the service is created on request of a proxy for
it, whose lifetime controls the mock service lifetime as well.
This is done using a further mock service that is used to manage the
others, using python-dbusmock to simplify the handling.
Add basic tests for the orientation manager.
As per the usage dbusmock, we're now launching all the tests under such
wrapper, so that local dbus environment won't ever considered, and
there's no risk that it may affect the tests results both locally and in
CI.

Tests that creating and starting a virtual screen cast monitor works,

Current Xwayland has marked the command line option "-listen" as
deprecated in favor of "-listenfd".
Use the pkg-config variable "have_listenfd" (if available) from Xwayland
to determine if we should use that option, to avoid a deprecation
warning when spawning Xwayland.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1682>
Currently, mutter checks for the presence of X11 windows to decide
whether or not Xwayland can be terminated, when Xwayland is started on
demand.
Unfortunately, not all X11 clients will map a window all the time, an
X11 client may keep the X11 connection opened after closing all its
windows. In that case, we may terminate Xwayland while there are some
X11 client connected still, and terminating Xwayland will also kill
those X11 clients.
To avoid that issue, check the X11 clients actually connected using the
XRes extension. The XRes extension provides the PID of the (local) X11
clients connected to the Xserver, so we need to match that against the
actual executable names, and compare with a list of known executables
that we can safely ignore, such as ibus-x11 or gsd-xsettings.
We also check against our own executable name, considering that the X11
window manager is also an X11 client connected to the Xserver.
Also, XRes returning the PID of local clients only is not a problem
considering that Xwayland does not listen to remote connections.
However, if the user spawns a client remotely on another system using
ssh tunneling (ssh -X), only clients which actually map a window will
be accounted for.

Some GSettings schemas moved from g-s-d to gsettings-desktop-schemas
in g-s-d 40.alpha. 40.alpha.1 didn't include the corresponding
adjustment, so do a quick follow-up release to not abort on startup
with the latest g-s-d release.
I messed up and released 40.alpha at the same time as 3.38.2, when it's
supposed to be in January. In order to re-align with the schedule, change
the upcoming version to 40.alpha2 so we don't have to skip a release and
will be back on track in time of 40.beta.
Xwayland in its main development branch now provides a pkg-config file
which can be used to determine Xwayland installation path and various
options enabled at build time.
Change mutter build system to optionally use that mechanism if
available. If not (as with Xwayland from the current stable branch),
keep the fallback mechanisms (basically search for the Xwayland and parse
its command line options to determine if initfd is available).

If this call is available, we can turn libX11 IO errors (fatal by definition)

Fedora's mutter is built with --auto-features=enabled which enables
-initfd support. But the current meson code doesn't check whether
-initfd is available in Xwayland, leading to the wayland session not
starting up.
Check for -initfd's availability before enabling it.

Mutter itself is versioned now, so passing the version information
to the plugin is redunant now: The version is already determined by

Now that cogl understands them, hook wl_shm up so they can be used.

GLib will now be linking against sysprof-capture-4.a. To support that,
sysprof had to remove the GLib dependency from sysprof-capture-4 which
had the side-effect of breaking ABi.
This bumps the dependency and includes a fallback to compile just the
libsysprof-capture-4.a using a subproject wrap.

Add MetaAnonymousFile, an abstraction around anonymous read-only files.
Files can be created by calling meta_anonymous_file_new(), passing the
data of the file. Subsequent calls to meta_anonymous_file_open_fd()
return a fd that's ready to be sent over the socket.
When mapmode is META_ANONYMOUS_FILE_MAPMODE_PRIVATE the fd is only
guaranteed to be mmap-able readonly with MAP_PRIVATE but does not
require duplicating the file for each resource when memfd_create is
available. META_ANONYMOUS_FILE_MAPMODE_SHARED may be used when the
client must be able to map the file with MAP_SHARED but it also means
that the file has to be duplicated even when memfd_create is available.

This sets the `is_reactive` flag on the window placement rules, causing
the popups to be reconfigured as they are affected by environmental
changes, such as the parent moving in a way making the popup partially
offscreen.
As with synchronization, the implementation is dormant, as the
version of the advertised global isn't bumped yet, as the new protocol
version is not yet fully implemented.

This is used by GDK and the X11 bits, but may also be used for
other initialization services we might need to run along with
Xwayland initialization.
However, as the -initfd argument in Xwayland is a fairly new

is handled transparently while allowing to explicitly set/unset
it.

We want sysprof's exact datadir for compatability with
platforms where software is installed into their own
individual immutable prefix's. Such that, mutter's prefix will
never equate to sysprof's. This depends on a MR in sysprof [0]
which adds datadir to its pkgconfig files, as these files will always
have the proper path we want.
This adds version a constraint on sysprof_dep, as datadir was added to
the .pc in this version.

Without 'wayland/surface-actor: Reset and sync subsurface state when
resetting' this test would fail.
This also adds a simple framework for testing lower level Wayland
semantics.
In contrast to the test-client and test-driver framework, which uses
gtk and tests mostly window management related things, this framework is
aimed to run Wayland clients made to test a particular protocol flow,
thus will likely consist of manual lower level Wayland mechanics.
A private protocol is added in order to help out clients do things they
cannot do by themself. The protocol currently only consists of a request
meant to be used for getting a callback when the actor of a given
surface is eventually destroyed. This is different from the wl_surface
being destroyed due to window destroy animations taking an arbitrary
amount of time. It'll be used by the first test added in the next
commit.

Graphene is a small library with data types and APIs
specially crafted to computer graphics. It contains

GCC's manpage says that this flag does the following:
Do not store floating-point variables in registers, and inhibit other
options that might change whether a floating-point value is taken from
a register or memory.
This option prevents undesirable excess precision on machines such as
the 68000 where the floating registers (of the 68881) keep more
precision than a "double" is supposed to have. Similarly for the x86
architecture. For most programs, the excess precision does only good,
but a few programs rely on the precise definition of IEEE floating
point.
We rely on this behaviour in our fork of clutter. When performing
floating point computations on x86, we are getting the wrong results
because of this architecture's use of the CPU's extended (x87, non-IEEE
confirming) precision by default. If we enable `-ffloat-store` here,
then we'll get the same results everywhere by storing into variables
instead of registers. This does not remove the need to be correct when
handling floats, but it does mean we don't need to be more correct than
the IEEE spec requires.

Since the API version was added, we've bumped it at some point late-ish in
the cycle when enough changes had accumulated (but way after the first ABI
break). Automate that process by computing the API version automatically
from the project version:
With this commit, the new API version will be 5 for the remaining 3.33.x
releases and all 3.34.x stable versions; 3.35.1 will then bump it to 6 and
so forth.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/633
Before this commit, sudo x11-app, e.g. sudo gvim /etc/some-file, fails
when running a Wayland session. Where as doing this under a "GNOME on Xorg"
session works fine. For a user switching from the Xorg session to the
Wayland session, this is regression, which we want to avoid.
This commit fixes this by creating and passing an xauth file to Xwayland when
mutter starts it. Just like gdm or startx pass a xauth file to Xorg when they
start Xorg.

`cogl_util_memmem` was used as a wrapper in case `memmem` wasn't
defined, but since commit 46942c24 these are required. In case of
`memmem`, we didn't explicitly require this in the meson build files, so
add that as well.

Add the ability to add tracing instrumentation to the code. When
enabled, trace entries will generate a file with timing information
that will be processable by sysprof for generating visualization of
traces over time.
While enabled by default at compile time, it is possible to disable the
expansion of the macros completely by passing --disable-tracing to
./configure.
Tracing is so far only actually done if actually enabled on explicitly
specified threads.
This will be used by Mutter passing the write end of a pipe, where the
read end is sent to Sysprof itself via the D-Bus method 'Capture()'.
By passing that, we have to detect EPIPE that is sent when Sysprof stops
recording. Fortunately, we already ignore the signal at meta_init(), so
no need to add a custom signal handler.

Add debug flags based on meson's `debug` option instead of `buildtype`.
This allows custom build configurations to behave like a debug or release build.
Add `-fno-omit-frame-pointer` to Mutter/Cogl. Not to Clutter though, as that would
require more changes to how Clutter's gir is created
Remove `-DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS` from Clutter in debug builds
Add `-DG_DISABLE_CHECKS`, `-DG_DISABLE_ASSERT` and `-DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS` to all
non-debug builds but `plain`, which explicitly should not have any compile flags
Use `cc.get_supported_arguments`, so it becomes more obvious to the user which flags
are set during compilation

Pango functions pango_unichar_direction() and pango_find_base_dir() have been

cogl-path uses types from glu.h, but to avoid a build dependency on glu,
it kept a minified copy of glu.h in tree. Drop this file and just use
the actual glu.h. To avoid linking to libGLU.so, just use the
includepath, instead of actually adding glu as a real dependency.
This means we can remove an includepath meant to make it possible to
include <GL/glu.h>.
The 'cursor-mode', which currently is limited to RecordMonitor(), allows
the user to either do screen casts where the cursor is hidden, embedded
in the framebuffer, or sent as PipeWire stream metadata.
The latter allows the user to get cursor updates sent, including the
cursor sprite, without requiring a stage paint each frame. Currently
this is done by using the cursor sprite texture, and either reading
directly from, or drawing to an offscreen framebuffer which is read from
instead, in case the texture is scaled.

If a library is provided in the positional arguments, then meson
defaults to installing the .pc file in a 'pkgconfig' subdirectory
in the library's install location. We want the files in the regular
$libdir/pkgconfig rather than $libdir/mutter-$api/pkgconfig, so
specify the location explicitly in the parameters.

This makes the build less verbose, as all .gir generation except for
clutters didn't pass --quiet to g-ir-scanner, making it output long
linking commands. Do this by adding a common introspection_args
variable.
While at it, put -U_GNU_SOURCE in there too, as it was always passed
everywhere as without it the scanner would log warnings.
This is the last remaining feature necessary to achieve
parity with the Autotools build.
A few changes were made to the install locations of the
tests, in order to better acomodate them in Meson:
* Tests are now installed under a versioned folder (e.g.
/usr/share/installed-tests/mutter-4)
* The mutter-cogl.test file is now generated from an .in
file, instead of a series of $(echo)s from within Makefile.
Notice that those tests need very controlled environments
to run correctly. Mutter installed tests, for example, will
failed when running under a regular session due to D-Bus
failing to acquire the ScreenCast and/or RemoteScreen names.
It cuts out some of the GObject boilerplate, and gives us g_autoptr()
support for free.
Since this changes the ABI, we also need to bump the libmutter API
version.
gudev and libudev might have different versions, and
since 361bf847 we require gudev >= 232 to be able to
use g_autoptr with gudev types.
Since the previous commit, however, the meson build
was using the same version for libudev and gudev.
Fix that by requiring different versions for gudev
(>= 232) and libudev (>= 228).
Continuous' latest udev version is 228, and that is
not going to change too soon. Since we do not depend
on udev 232 specific features or bugfixes, just lower
the minimum version and make Continouos happy.
This commit adds meson build support to mutter. It takes a step away
from the three separate code bases with three different autotools setups
into a single meson build system. There are still places that can be
unified better, for example by removing various "config.h" style files
from cogl and clutter, centralizing debug C flags and other configurable
macros, and similar artifacts that are there only because they were once
separate code bases.
There are some differences between the autotools setup and the new
meson. Here are a few:
The meson setup doesn't generate wrapper scripts for various cogl and
clutter test cases. What these tests did was more or less generate a
tiny script that called an executable with a test name as the argument.
To run particular tests, just run the test executable with the name of
the test as the argument.
The meson setup doesn't install test files anymore. The autotools test
suite was designed towards working with installed tests, but it didn't
really still, and now with meson, it doesn't install anything at all,
but instead makes sure that everything runs with the uninstalled input
files, binaries and libraries when running the test suite. Installable
tests may come later.
Tests from cogl, clutter and mutter are run on 'meson test'. In
autotools, only cogl and clutter tests were run on 'make check'.
