For the most part, a MetaWindow is expected to live roughly as long as
the associated wl_surface, give or take asynchronous API discrepancies.
The exception to this rule is handling of reparenting when decorating or
undecorating a window, when a MetaWindow on X11 is made to survive the
unmap/map cycle. The fact that this didn't hold on Wayland caused
various issues, such as a feedback loop where the X11 window kept being
remapped. By making the MetaWindow lifetime for Xwayland windows being
the same as they are on plain X11, we remove the different semantics
here, which seem to lower the risk of hitting the race condition causing
the feedback loop mentioned above.
What this commit do is separate MetaWindow lifetime handling between
native Wayland windows and Xwayland windows. Wayland windows are handled
just as they were, i.e. unmanaged together as part of the wl_surface
destruction; while during the Xwayland wl_surface destruction, the
MetaWindow <-> MetaWaylandSurface association is simply broken.

This allows us to implement more sophisticated logic for the different
cases. For DnD surfaces, use the geometry scale of the monitor where
the pointer is, instead of incorrectly assuming '1' as it was before.

With the addition of xauth support (commit a8984a81c), Xwayland would
rely only on the provided cookies for authentication.
As a result, running an Xclient from another VT (hence without the
XAUTHORITY environment variable set) would result in an access denied.
The same on X11 is granted because the local user is automatically
granted access to Xserver by the startup scripts.
Add the local user to xhost at startup on Xwayland so that the user can
still run a client by setting the DISPLAY as long as it's the same user
on the same host.

There may be cases where a X11 client does not spawn any X11 windows (eg.
simple clients like xinput --list, or xlsclients), in this case the Xwayland
server would remain running until X11 windows happen to come and go in the
future.
Firing the shutdown timeout on restart caters for this, and would be undone
if the client maps X11 windows.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/728
Where the prepare_auth_file() call is, it does create a new one on every
respawn of Xwayland. This is not benefitial, as the XAUTHORITY envvar is
already fixed in the session.
Only create the XAuthority file once, and reuse it on future Xwayland
respawns.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/728
We only listen for those so we know there's no more X11 clients that we
should keep the Xwayland server alive for. Check first that we really did
request Xwayland to be handled on demand for this, otherwise the check is
superfluous, even harmful.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/719
The Xwayland manager now has 4 distinct phases:
- Init and shutdown (Happening together with the compositor itself)
- Start and stop
In these last 2 phases, handle orderly initialization and shutdown
of Xwayland. On initialization We will simply find out what is a
proper display name, and set up the envvar and socket so that clients
think there is a X server.
Whenever we detect data on this socket, we enter the start phase
that will launch Xwayland, and plunge the socket directly to it.
In this phase we now also set up the MetaX11Display.
The stop phase is pretty much the opposite, we will shutdown the
MetaX11Display and all related data, terminate the Xwayland
process, and restore the listening sockets. This phase happens
on a timeout whenever the last known X11 MetaWindow is gone. If no
new X clients come back in this timeout, the X server will be
eventually terminated.
The shutdown phase happens on compositor shutdown and is completely
uninteresting. Some bits there moved into the stop phase as might
happen over and over.
This is all controlled by META_DISPLAY_POLICY_ON_DEMAND and
the "autostart-xwayland" experimental setting.

The way code was structured made it easy to misunderstand things as the
surface actor of a window actor could change over time. So is not the
case, however, the intention of the corresponding "update" function was
so that a surface actor could be assigned to a window actor as soon as
the X11 window was associated with its corresponding wl_surface, if the
window in question came from Xwayland.
Restructure the code and internal API a bit to make it clear that a
window actor only once gets a surface actor assigned to it, and that it
after that point never changes.

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.

This argument instructs Xwayland to exit when there are no further
client connections. However we eventually want to handle restarts
ourselves (where, notably, mutter's will be at least the last client
connection).
This behavior could also induce race conditions on startup with clients
that quickly open and close a display, which is a more pressing issue.
Also, add -noreset back (which was also removed in commit 054c25f693 that
added -terminate). We don't want to reset the X server to a pristine state
in that situation either.

It is now separated into meta_xwayland_start(), which picks an unused
display and sets up the sockets, and meta_xwayland_init_xserver(), which
does the actual exec of Xwayland and MetaX11Display initialization.
This differentiation will be useful when Mutter is able to launch Xwayland
lazily, currently the former calls into the latter.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/420
All child classes of `MetaWaylandShellSurface` as well as
`MetaWaylandSurfaceRoleXWayland` should only sync their actor if
their toplevel surface has a window. Currently this check is done
in the actor-surface class, but not all surface classes have a
toplevel window, e.g. dnd-surfaces.
Move the check to the right places.
For subsurfaces this assumes that the subsurface is not the child of
a window-less surface (like, as stated above, e.g. a dnd-surface).
If we want to support subsurfaces of window-less surfaces in the future
we have to extend the check here.
But as this is not a regression, ignore this case for now.

Since commit 8df2a1452c (As pointed out by Robert Mader) we just happened
do this check when doing the first lookup for a Wayland surface for a
XWayland window, when we are later notifying upon surface creation we just
set the relation with no further checks.
The cases pointed out in the comment (eg. window changing decoration) might
presumably happen in a quick enough sequence that we have two scheduled
associations on the fly, so move this check to the more generic
meta_xwayland_associate_window_with_surface() which is called on both
immediate and delayed paths.

As with the Wayland display name, to avoid clashes with already an
running Xwayland or Xorg instance, override the X11 display name to
something less likely to cause a clash.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/193
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.
Instead of scheduling a meta_later, keep track of the unassociated
windows, and look for matches as soon as the MetaWaylandSurface is
created on our side.
This will ensure the surface is given the Xwayland role before receiving
the first wl_surface.commit.
Right now if Xwayland crashes, we crash, too.
On some level that makes sense, since we're supposed to control the
lifecycle of Xwayland, and by it crashing we've lost that control.
But practically speaking, the knock-on crash adds noise to the logs,
bug trackers, and retrace servers that only makes debugging harder.
And the crash isn't something mutter can "fix", since it's
ultimately from a bug in Xwayland anyway.
This commit makes mutter exit instead of crash if Xwayland goes away
unexpectedly.
Right now we explicitly g_clear_error any error we find, but that
makes it tricky to return early from the function, which a
subsequent commit will want to to do.
This commit switches GError to use g_autoptr so the error clearing
happens automatically.
If for whatever reason, there are stalled files in /tmp/.X11-unix/ the
bind() to the abstract socket will succeed but not the bind() to the
to the UNIX socket.
This causes gnome-shell/mutter to fail because it cannot start Xwayland
(while it could actually, by using a different display).
In case of failure to bind to the UNIX socket, try the next display
instead of failing, to avoid stalled entries in /tmp/.X11-unix.

Similarly to Weston (where this code originated), there were two errors
in the X11 lockfile handling.
Firstly, after reading 11 characters from the lock file (which could
have been placed by any process), there was no guarantee of
NUL-termination, meaning strtol could've theoretically run off the end
of the string.
Secondly, whilst writing the new lock, the trailing NUL byte was not
correctly accounted for. The size passed as an input to snprintf takes
the maximum size of the string including the trailing NUL, whilst the
return (and the input to write) gives the actual size of the string
without the trailing NUL.
The code did attempt to check the return value, however snprintf returns
the size of the _potential_ string written, before snprintf culls it, so
this was off by one, and the LF was not being written.

We do some things when binding to a socket fails (closing the fd,
logging, unlinking files, ...) those might affect errno in some
or other way, so it might no longer be EADDRINUSE even if we later
try to make those non fatal.
It seems better to check errno soon after the failure, and don't
rely on it in any way at a later point. All error paths in
bind_to_abstract_socket() also have early logging, which also might
help figure out better the point of failure when the socket fails
to be created.

We don't have any way of knowing what the intended size of a XWayland
cursor is supposed to be, so lets do what we do with regular XWayland
surfaces and don't scale them. The result is that cursor sprites of
HiDPI aware X11 clients will show correctly, but non-aware clients may
have tiny cursor sprites.

If the wayland surface isn't available yet when we process the
WL_SURFACE_ID ClientMessage, we schedule a later function to try the
association again after we get a chance to process wayland requests.
This works fine except on cases where the MetaWindow already had a
previous surface attached (i.e. when the xwindow is reparented) since
we only break the existing association on the later function which
means that when processing the old surface's destruction we destroy
the MetaWindow and cancel the pending later function leaving us
without a MetaWindow and an invisible surface.
Fix this by detaching the old surface as soon as possible so that the
MetaWindow survives.

Being a "XWayland window" should be considered equivalent to a role,
even though it is not part of any protocol anywhere. The commit doesn't
have any functional difference, but just makes it clear that an
wl_surface managed by XWayland have the same type of special casing as
surface roles as defined by the Wayland protocol.
As the semantics are more explicit given the role is defined, a comment
explaining why the semantics need to be how they are was added.

This piece of code hooks in both wl_data_device and the relevant X
selection events, an X11 Window is set up so it can act as the clipboard
owner when any wayland client owns the selection, reacting to
SelectionRequest events, and returning the data from the wayland client
FD to any X11 requestor through X properties.
In the opposite direction, SelectionNotify messages are received,
which results in the property contents being converted then written
into the wayland requestor's FD.
This code also takes care of the handling incremental transfers through
the INCR property type, reading/writing data chunk by chunk.
