The cursor renderer shouldn't assume all the CRTCs of a logical are KMS
CRTC's, as we'll end up checking hardware capabilities for CRTC's of
virtual monitors as well, when they were created to not embed the cursor
image directly in the framebuffer.
Instead, use the newly introduced API for checking CRTC cursor
capabilities. This fixes a crash with the following backtrace:

On a KMS backed CRTC, hardware cursor are supported when there are
cursor planes to assign them to. Note that when using legacy mode
setting, fake cursor planes are added when adequate.
On virtual CRTCs, used with virtual monitors, the equivalent of hardware
cursor are always supported, as they are sent using embedded PipeWire
stream metadata.

It was dropping to zero after the first frame because it hadn't been
incremented high enough. So the second frame would crash with:
```
#0 g_type_check_instance_cast
#1 META_DRM_BUFFER
#2 copy_shared_framebuffer_cpu

That's the CPU-copy path (fallback-fallback) that probably no one is using
but it does work after this fix. Exactly the same issue as was fixed

If some connectors disappeared, but the rest didn't change, we missed
actually removing the ones that disappeared, as we incorrectly assumed
nothing changed. Fix this by only assuming nothing changed if 1) we
didn't add any connector, and 2) we have the same amount of connectors
as before the hotplug event. The connector comparison checking makes
sure we report changes if anything of the still available connectors
changed.

Systems with AMD GPUs do not take advantage of Mutter's zero-copy path
when driving DisplayLink screens. This is due to a very slow CPU access
to the zero-copy texture. Instead they fall back on primary GPU doing a
copy of the texture for fast CPU access. This commit accelerates texture
copy by working through damage regions only.
Tests on a 4K screen with windowed applications show significant
reduction of GPU utilisation.

When we use gbm together with the NVIDIA driver, we want the EGL/Vulkan
clients to do the same, instead of using the EGLStream paths. To achieve
that, make sure to only initialize the EGLStream controller when we
didn't end up using gbm as the renderer backend.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2052>
This switches the order of what renderer mode is tried first, so that
the gbm renderer mode is preferred on an NVIDIA driver where it is
supported.
We fall back to still try the EGLDevice renderer mode if the created gbm
renderer is not hardware accelerated.
The last fallback is still to use the gbm renderer, even if it is not
hardware accelerated, as this is needed when hardware acceleration isn't
available at all. The original reason for the old order was due to the
fact that a gbm renderer without hardware acceleration would succeed
even on NVIDIA driver that didn't support gbm.

It might not be needed by the user of the buffer, so don't always
require it up front. Instead make sure that any user that needs it first
calls "meta_drm_buffer_ensure_fb_id()" to create the ID.

only existing during construction.

This changes the setup phase of clutter to not be result of calling an
init function that sets up a few global singletons, via global singleton
setup vfuncs.
The way it worked was that mutter first did some initial setup
(connecting to the X11 server), then set a "custom backend" setup vfunc
global, before calling clutter_init().
During the clutter_init() call, the context and backend was setup by
calling the global singleton getters, which implicitly created the
backend and context on-demand.
This has now changed to mutter explicitly creating a `ClutterContext`
(which is actually a `ClutterMainContext`, but with the name shortened to
be consistent with `CoglContext` and `MetaContext`), calling it with a
backend constructor vfunc and user data pointer.
This function now explicitly creates the backend, without having to go
via the previously set global vfunc.
This changes the behavior of some "get_default()" like functions, which
will now fail if called after mutter has shut down, as when it does so,
it now destroys the backends and contexts, not only its own, but the
clutter ones too.
The "ownership" of the clutter backend is also moved to
`ClutterContext`, and MetaBackend is changed to fetch it via the clutter
context.
This also removed the unused option parsing that existed in clutter.
In some places, NULL checks for fetching the clutter context, or
backend, and fetching the cogl context from the clutter backend, had to
be added.
The reason for this is that some code that handles EGL contexts attempts
to restore the cogl EGL context tracking so that the right EGL context
is used by cogl the next time. This makes no sense to do before Cogl and
Clutter are even initialized, which was the case. It wasn't noticed
because the relevant singletons were initialized on demand via their
"getters".

When the native backend is paused we still process the udev events
even though this isn't needed and may just cause unneeded events to be
triggered afterwards.
Since we'll resume with full changes on such event, we can just block
the signal hander when paused and restore it afterwards.
As per this we can cleanup also a bit the device adding signal handling
given that now we don't have to disconnect/reconnect it again.

Resume happens after we may have received various events that we've

On hotplug events we may get informations about what CRTC or connector
changed a property (and the property itself), so in such case let's just

On hotplug events we may receive a "CRTC" or "CONNECTOR" property that

If only gamma changed on drm CRTC's we don't have to rebuild the whole
monitors, nor to inform the backed about, the only consumer could be the

Since we cache already all the KMS parameters we care about let's check at
each device update if anything has really changed and only in such case
emit a resources-changed signal.
In this way we can also filter out the DRM parameters that when changed
don't require a full monitors rebuild.
Examples are the gamma settings or the privacy screen parameters, that
emits an udev "hotplug" event when changed, but we want to register those
only when we handle the changed property.

When drmModePageFlip() or drmModeAtomicCommit() unexpectedly failed (e.g.
ENOSPC, which has been seen in the wild), this failure was not handled
very gracefully. The page flip listener for the scanout was left in the
MetaKmsUpdate, meaning when the primary plane composition was later page
flipped, two page flip listeners were added, one for the primary plane,
and one for the scanout. This caused the 'page-flipped' event to be
handled twice, the second time being fatal.
Handle this by making 'no-discard' listener flag be somewhat reversed,
and say 'drop-on-error', and then drop all 'drop-on-error' listeners
when a MetaKmsUpdate failed to be processed.
Also for a "preserve" flagged update, don't ever trigger "discard"
callbacks just yet, as preserved updates are used again for the primary
plane composition, in order to not miss e.g. CRTC gamma updates, or
cursor plane updates, which were added separately.

Virtual Kernel Mode Setting (vkms) is a virtual /dev/dri/card* device

e.g. to run tests suites with a reproducable setup, or in continuous
integration pipelines.
Currently mutter don't have any tests that can run on top of vkms, but
will eventually get that. To prepare for the ability to do that, and
having said kernel module loaded without causing wierd issues with any
active session, add an udev rule that tells mutter to ignore any vkms
device.
Otherwise, when vkms is loaded, mutter would detect it, assume it's a
regular monitor, configure it as such, thus add a region of the stage
that ends up nowhere, which isn't very helpful. It might also conflict
with running actual tests that need to interact with vkms if the active

On hybrid graphics system, the primary path used to transfer the stage
framebuffer onto the dedicated GPU's video memory preparing for scanout,
is using the dedicated GPU to glBlitFramebuffer() the content from the
iGPU texture onto the scanout buffer.
After we have done this, we reset the current EGL context back to the
one managed by cogl. What we failed to do, however, was to reset the
current EGL context when we inhibited the actual page flip due to having
entered power save mode.
When we later started to paint again, Cogl thought the current EGL
context was still the correct one, but in fact it was the one used for
the iGPU -> dGPU blit, causing various EGL surface errors, and as a side
effect, eventually hitting an assert.
Fix this by making sure we reset to the Cogl managed EGL context also
for this case.

Destroying the EGLSurface frees the underlying container structs. When
we call gbm_surface_release_buffer() with a gbm_surface the EGLSurface
was created from, doing that after the EGLSurface was destroyed results
in attempts to access freed memory. Fix this by releasing any buffer
first, followed by destroying the EGLSurface, and lastly, the
gbm_surface.
This was not a problem prior to CoglOnscreen turning into a GObject, as
in that case, the dispose-chain was not setup correctly, and the
EGLSurface destruction was done in the native backend implementation.
This also changes a g_return_if_fail() to a g_warn_if_fail(), as if we
hit the unexpected case, we still need to call up to the parent dispose
vfunc to not cause critical issues.

If there was only a single mode, add the common modes to provide options
to select other resolutions than the built in default. This avoids
issues where the connector listed multiple supported modes, but where
the common modes added would exceed the possible bandwidth. We could
probably make an attempt to filter out more modes from the common mode
list to avoid these issues, but it's likely that the driver already
lists suitable modes, meaning there is no point in adding the common
modes.
The common modes were initially added[0] to add modes to connectors with

We don't yet support automatically finding a combination of modifiers

Virtual monitors are monitors that isn't backed by any monitor like
hardware. It would typically be backed by e.g. a remote desktop service,
or a network display.
It is currently only supported by the native backend, and whether the
X11 backend will ever see virtual monitors is an open question. This
rest of this commit message describes how it works under the native
backend.
Each virutal monitor consists of virtualized mode setting components:
* A virtual CRTC mode (MetaCrtcModeVirtual)
* A virtual CRTC (MetaCrtcVirtual)
* A virtual connector (MetaOutputVirtual)
In difference to the corresponding mode setting objects that represents
KMS objects, the virtual ones isn't directly tied to a MetaGpu, other
than the CoglFramebuffer being part of the GPU context of the primary
GPU, which is the case for all monitors no matter what GPU they are
connected to. Part of the reason for this is that a MetaGpu in practice
represents a mode setting device, and its CRTCs and outputs, are all
backed by real mode setting objects, while a virtual monitor is only
backed by a framebuffer that is tied to the primary GPU. Maybe this will
be reevaluated in the future, but since a virtual monitor is not tied to
any GPU currently, so is the case for the virtual mode setting objects.
The native rendering backend, including the cursor renderer, is adapted
to handle the situation where a CRTC does not have a GPU associated with
it; this in practice means that it e.g. will not try to upload HW cursor
buffers when the cursor is only on a virtual monitor. The same applies
to the native renderer, which is made to avoid creating
MetaOnscreenNative for views that are backed by virtual CRTCs, as well
as to avoid trying to mode set on such views.

With this commit, it's possible to run mutter without being DRM master.
It's not yet possible to add virtual monitors, but one can for example
already add virtual input devices.
This currently doesn't try to hook up to any logind session, thus will
not have a real seat assigned. Currently it's hard coded to "seat0".
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1698>
Currently our only entry point for DRM devices is MetaKms*, but in order
to run without being DRM master, we cannot use /dev/dri/card*, nor can
we be either of the existing MetaKmsImplDevice implementation (legacy
KMS, and atomic KMS), as they both depend on being DRM master.
Thus to handle running without being DRM master (i.e. headless), add a
"dummy" MetaKmsImplDevice implementation, that doesn't do any mode
setting at all, and that switches to operate on the render node, instead
of the card node itself.
This means we still use the same GBM code paths as the regular native
backend paths, except we never make use of any CRTC backed onscreen
framebuffers.
Eventually, this "dummy" MetaKmsImplDevice will be replaced separating
"KMS" device objects from "render" device objects, but that will require
more significant changes. It will, however, be necessary for e.g. going
from being headless, only having access to a render node, to turning
into a real session, with a seat, being DRM master, and having access to
a card node.
This is currently not hooked up, but will be in a later commit.

With commit 7d78768809 we switched to
storing pointer coordinates in MetaInputDeviceNative instead of
ClutterInputDevice, and while we had set the coordinates of the
ClutterInputDevice in ClutterStage when queueing an event, we now set
the MetaInputDeviceNative coordinates in new_absolute_motion_event().
Here a small mistake snuck in: new_absolute_motion_event() only
translates the coordinates of the event, but we call
meta_input_device_native_set_coords() using the x and y variables
(which remain untranslated), so now the input device coordinates are no
longer translated.
Fix that by translating the coordinates of the x and y variables in case
we're we handling a tablet/stylus event instead of only translating the
event coordinates.

With commit c985753442 the support for
multiple hardware cursors broke, but those were never properly supported
anyway as we usually assume there's only one hardware cursor around.
With the introduction of the KMS thread in the future, we'll only have
one KMS cursor that gets updated directly from the input thread. So
apart from the fact that it never really makes sense to have two cursors
visible, in this new model having multiple cursors won't work anyway.
So make the cursor we show for stylii a software cursor again.
Eventually the plan is to make the input device that's driving the KMS
cursor interchangeable, so that we can always use hardware cursors.
This reverts commit 165b7369c8.
