The XIOErrorExitHandler expects (Display *, void *) whereas mutter uses
(Display *, MetaX11Display *).
That causes a warning at build time:
warning: passing argument 2 of ‘XSetIOErrorExitHandler’ from
incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
813 | XSetIOErrorExitHandler (xdisplay, x_io_error_exit, display);
Actually, the MetaX11Display is not even used, so we can just use the
expected API and ignore the value.

The stack and stack tracker tend to cause missed frames from time to
time, especially when there are many open windows. Add some
instrumentation to make it this easily verifiable when profiling.

While browsing sysprof profiling reports, I saw surface-commit taking
significant times sometimes; trace attach too, to see whether such
things are due to e.g. texture uploads.

Constantly manipulating the stack caused severe stalls (several seconds)
with many open windows when switching workspaces. The cause for this was
that each show/hide call dealt with the stack in isolation, meaning if
you hid N windows, we'd manipulate and synchronize the stack N times,
potentially doing synchronous calls to the X server while doing so.
Avoid the most severe stalls by freezing the stack while calculating
showing; this made the worst case go from several seconds to around
10-20 ms, which is still bad, but by far not as bad.

Figuring out the MetaSeatImpl this much indirectly is fairly awkward when
the keymap is only updated from the MetaSeatImpl, pass instead the seat
impl's xkb_state, as we have it handy in all the places this is called.
This will not break on NULL seats during initialization, should the numlock
state be restored from previous sessions.

The API allows for invalid barriers to be created; in an X11 session,
this could result in involutary early exit, so guard against those with
soft asserts. These will be logged in the journal as warnings, but will
avoid the crash unless compiled out.
Note that this doesn't fix the bug, it just makes it more detectable.

Make it impossible to add individual includes of input thread objects.
This must go through meta-input-thread.h now, which should be enough
to make anyone think it twice.

They're a dime a dozen. If it gets called exclusively from the
input thread, it got one. Hopefully these breadcrumbs will be
enough so people don't lose their way here.

This (now) doesn't change anything in regards to the API that the UI
thread should access from the MetaSeatImpl. The MetaInputDeviceNative,
MetaInputSettings and MetaKeymap objects are now considered owned by
the input thread, as well as all of libinput objects.
The MetaEventSource now dispatches events in a GMainContext that is
the thread default to this thread, and all UI-thread-accessible API
(seat and virtual input device API) will be handled in a serialized
manner by that same input thread.
The MetaSeatImpl itself is still considered to be owned by the caller
thread, and all the signals that this object emits will be emitted in
the GMainContext that is default at the time of calling
meta_seat_impl_new().
The MetaInputSettings configuration changes will likewise be handled
in the input thread, close to libinput devices.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Instead of going through the event queue, stage handling code, and
back to the input device via a vmethod call, do this directly in the
MetaSeatImpl. This is not too different from X11, where everything
happens inside the backend.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
All that is left in the "public" struct is all state that ClutterStage
delegates on ClutterInputDevice. That should move somewhere else, but
not here, not now.
All private fields belong to construct-only properties, with only getter
API, and idempotent vmethods (except keyboard a11y, atm). This should
be enough to make ClutterInputDevice obviously thread safe, outside the
backend.

This API is the one accessed from different bits of the UI thread,
make it "async" (it's basically one-way setters, so API stays the same
in the surface) and able to run in the MetaSeatImpl main context.

Simplify the handling of numlock state, so it can be entirely handled
within the input thread. Since the saving/restoring is triggered inside
each backend code, there's no need anymore for meta_backend_set_numlock().
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Push it a little bit down to the MetaSeatNative. As both the UI thread
and the input thread are interested in dealing with the xkb_keymap and
it is not meant to be used in different threads, keep 2 separate copies
around.
The keyboard map will always be set from the UI thread, so the xkb_keymap
owned by the MetaSeatNative (owned by the UI thread) can be considered
canonical.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Don't let the vfuncs (meant to be called from the UI thread) deal with
xkb state itself. Instead store the current state in struct fields, which
is then fetched in vfuncs.
This makes the keymap able to be used from the UI thread, while being
maintained by the input thread. Same caveats apply than
clutter_seat_query_state(), you are asking for the most up-to-date state,
but it still may be changing under your feet.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Wrap all keyboard state updates, and all pointer/stylus/touch cursor
position with a write lock, and ::query_state() (The only entrypoint
to this state from other threads) with a read lock.
The principle is that query_state may be called from different threads
(UI so far, but maybe KMS too in the future), while the input thread
may (or may not) be updating it. This state is fetched "atomically"
(eg. x/y will be consistently old or new, if the input thread were
updating it at the same time).
There's other places deep in backends/native that read this state,
they all will run in the input thread, so they count as "other readers"
to the other thread. Those changes are already mutually exclusive with
updates, so they don't explicitly need the RW lock.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
While barriers will be added from the main thread, the native barrier
manager will sit close to the MetaSeatImpl in its own thread. Add the
necessary locking so that we can pass MetaBarrierImplNative from the
UI thread to the input thread, and ensure the MetaBarrier signals are
still emitted in the UI thread.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Depending on the backend, we want to integrate this object at different
levels. It will sit close to the MetaBackendX11/MetaSeatX11 in X11, but
it will be put deep down with MetaSeatImpl in the native backend, in a
separate thread.
Since we can't depend on a single object type, nor are able to track
ClutterSeat signals neatly, make this API something to be called
explicitly by backends.
