We're moving towards not supporting stand-alone application style
clutter stages, meaning the stage tests use will be reused instead of
recreated. To make this feasable, tests must clean up after themself.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1364
meta_run() is still left intact and does the same as before; the new
functions are only intended to be used by tests, as they may need to set
things up after starting up. Doing so linearly in the test case is much
easier than adding callbacks, so meta_run() is split up to make this
possible.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1364
The delete event was used for signalling the close button was clicked on
clutter windows. Being a compositor we should never see these, unless
we're running nested. Remove the plumbing of the DELETE event and just
directly call meta_quit() when we see it, if we're running nested.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1364
We checked if we were using the usig the X11 backend to decide when to
deal with a11y event posting - in order to make the clutter code less
windowing system dependent, make this check a check whether we're a
display server or not, in contrast to a window/compositing manager
client. This is made into a vfunc ot ClutterBackendClass, implemented by
MetaClutterBackendNative and MetaClutterBackendX11.

Test that if a timeline got its frame clock from a parent of the
associated actor, if that actor moves across the stage so that the stage
views changes and thus the would be picked frame clock too, this is
noticed by the timeline so that it also changes to the correct frame
clock.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1404
Timelines where the frame clock was picked from a parent of the
associated actor didn't get notified about any stage views changes, as
it only listened on the associated actor. If that actor didn't actually
get its stage views changed (because it went from empty to empty), we'd
end up with a stale frame clock, leading to crashes.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1404
Flip flop resize, which is the result of respecting ConfigureNotify
makes test annoyingly racy, as one cannot do
clutter_actor_set_size (stage, 1024, 768);
wait_for_paint (stage);
g_assert_assert (clutter_actor_get_width (stage) == 1024);
The reason for this is any lingering ConfigureNotify event that might
arrive in an inconvenient time in response to some earlier resize.
In order to not risk breaking any current behavior in the X11 CM case
(running as a compositing window manager), only avoid changing the stage
size in response to ConfigureNotify when running nested.

This aims to make sure a view and its resources are destroyed when it
should. Using references might keep certain components (e.g frame clock)
alive for too long.
We currently don't take any long lived references to the stage view
anywhere, so this doesn't matter in practice, but this may change, and
will be used by a to be added test case.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1404
Just as wl_shm, hook up the Wayland DMA-BUF protocol to the 64 bit half
point pixel formats too. This makes it possible for Wayland EGL clients
to use 64 bit pixel EGL configurations.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/804
Now that cogl understands them, hook wl_shm up so they can be used.
This also bumps the wayland-server version dependency to 1.17.90, which
corresponds to the master branch of wayland. The new formats will be
available in 1.18.0.

Without doing this, we'd use the same sprite that was last set by
mutter, most likely a leftptr cursor, and fail to update when e.g.
moving the pointer above a text entry and the displayed cursor updated
to a cursor position marker.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1391
The displayed cursor is the one displayed on the screen, e.g. via the
hardware cursor plane, by Xorg, or using the stage overlay.
When screen recording under X11, we don't get a stream of pointer and
cursor updates, as they might be grabbed by some other client. Because
of this, the cursor tracker or cursor renderer are not kept up to date
with positional and cursor state.
To be able to use the stage overlays when recording, we need to be able
to update the overlay without updating the displayed cursor, as we
shouldn't update the X server with cursor state we just retrieved from
it.
Thus, to achieve this, create a separate overlay cursor pointer. When
being a display server, they are always the same, but when using X11,
during screen recording, the overlay one will be polled at a fixed
interval to get a somewhat up to date state.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1391
Always force-track the cursor position (so that the X11 backend can keep
it up to date), and if the cursor wasn't part of the sampled
framebuffer when reading pixels into CPU memory, draw it in an extra
pass using cairo after the fact. The cairo based cursor painting only
happens on the X11 backend, as we otherwise inhibit the hw cursor.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1391
On X11 we won't always receive cursor positions, as some other client
might have grabbed the pointer (e.g. for implementing a popup menu). To
make screen casting show a somewhat correct cursor position, we need to
actively poll the X server about the current cursor position.
We only really want to do this when screen casting or taking a
screenshot, so add an API that forces the cursor tracker to track the
cursor position.
On the native backend this is a no-op as we by default always track the
cursor position anyway.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1391
Only when the cursor isn't handled by the backend is the overlay made
visible. This is intended to be used when painting the stage to an
offscreen using clutter_stage_paint_to_(frame)buffer() in a way where
the cursor is always included.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1391
Detect displays marked as 'non-desktop' by the kernel and skip them when
creating the outputs. Mutter is not able to render images that are shown
properly on those devices anyway.
This avoids lighting up attached VR HMDs and showing the GDM login
screen between the eyes in a VR HMD instead of on the monitor.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1393
Allowing code from inside mutter to create a child process and
delegate on it some of its tasks is something very useful. This can
be done easily with the g_subprocess and g_subprocess_launcher classes
already available in GLib and GObject.
Unfortunately, although the child process can be a graphical program,
currently it is not possible for the inner code to identify the
windows created by the child in a secure manner (this is: being able
to ensure that a malicious program won't be able to trick the inner
code into thinking it is a child process launched by it).
Under X11 this is not a problem because any program has full control
over their windows, but under Wayland it is a different story: a
program can't neither force their window to be kept at the top (like a
docker program does) or at the bottom (like a program for desktop icons
does), nor hide it from the list of windows. This means that it is not
possible for a "classic", non-priviledged program, to fulfill these
tasks, and it can be done only from code inside mutter (like a
gnome-shell extension).
This is a non desirable situation, because an extension runs in the
same main loop than the whole desktop itself, which means that a
complex extension can need to do too much work inside the main loop,
and freeze the whole desktop for too much time. Also, it is important
to note that javascript doesn't have access to fork(), or threads,
which means that, at most, all the parallel computing that can do is
those available in the _async calls in GLib/GObject.
Also, having to create an extension for any priviledged graphical
element is an stopper for a lot of programmers who already know
GTK+ but doesn't know Clutter.
This patch wants to offer a solution to this problem, by offering a
new class that allows to launch a trusted child process from inside
mutter, and make it to use an specific UNIX socket to communicate
with the compositor. It also allows to check whether an specific
MetaWindow was created by one of this trusted child processes or not.
This allows to create extensions that launch a child process, and
when that process creates a window, the extension can confirm in a
secure way that the window really belongs to that process
launched by it, so it can give to that window "superpowers" like
being kept at the bottom of the desktop, not being listed in the
list of windows or shown in the Activities panel... Also, in future
versions, it could easily implement protocol extensions that only
could be used by these trusted child processes.
Several examples of the usefulness of this are that, with it, it
is possible to write programs that implements:
- desktop icons
- a dock
- a top or bottom bar
...
all in a secure manner, avoiding insecure programs to do the same.
In fact, even if the same code is launched manually, it won't have
those privileges, only the specific process launched from inside
mutter.
Since this is only needed under Wayland, it won't work under X11.

Intended to be used to pass state from screen cast clients down the
line. The first use case will be a boolean whether a screen cast is a
plain recording or not, e.g. letting the Shell decide whether to use a
red dot as the icon, or the generic "sharing" symbol.

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.

Commit 510cbef15a changed the logic in `handle_update()` for X11 window
actors to return early if the surface is not an X11 surface.
That works fine for plain Xorg, but on Xwayland, the surface is actually
a Wayland surface, therefore the function returns early before updating
the drop shadows of server-side decorations for X11 windows.
Change the test logic to restore drops shadows with Xwayland windows.

The memory selection source was only providing the "text/plain" or the
"text/plain;charset=utf-8" mimetype, but not "STRING" or "UTF8_STRING",
which some X11 clients, like wine, are looking for. This was breaking
pasting from the clipboard in wine applications.
Fix this by adding those targets when they are missing and the selection
source provides the corresponding mimetypes.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1369
Wine destroys its old selection window immediately before creating a new
selection. This would trigger restoring the clipboard, which would
overwrite the new selection with the old one. The selection window
however can also be destroyed as part of the shutdown process of
applications, such as Chromium for example. In those cases we want the
clipboard to be restored after the selection window has been destroyed.
Solve this by not immediately restoring the clipboard but instead using
a timeout which can be canceled by any new selection owner, such as in
the Wine case.

When using its EGLStream-based presentation path with the proprietary NVIDIA
driver, mutter will use a different function to process page flips -
custom_egl_stream_page_flip. If that fails due to an EBUSY error, it will
attempt to retry the flip. However, when retrying, it unconditionally uses the
libdrm-based path. In practice, this causes a segfault when attempting to
access plane_assignments->fb_id, since plane_assignments will be NULL in the
EGLStream case. The issue can be reproduced reliably by VT-switching away from
GNOME and back again while an EGL application is running.
This patch has mutter also use the custom page flip function when retrying the
failed flip.

Instead of blindly hoping that `$INCLUDE` contains the parent directory
of `gsettings-desktop-schemas`.
Because `gsettings-desktop-schemas.pc` says:
```
Cflags: -I/SOME/DIRECTORY/gsettings-desktop-schemas
```
Which means to include the version that Meson has configured you need
to drop the directory prefix and only `#include <gdesktop-enums.h>`.
This fixes a build failure with local installs triggered by 775ec67a44
but it's also the right thing to do™.

During animation or other things that cause multiple frames in a row
being painted, we might skip recording frames if the max framerate is
reached.
Doing so means we might end up skipping the last frame in a series,
ending with the last frame we sent was not the last one, making things
appear to get stuck sometimes.
Handle this by creating a timeout if we ever throttle, and at the time
the timeout callback is triggered, make sure we eventually send an up to
date frame.
This is handle differently depending on the source type. A monitor
source type reports 1x1 pixel damage on each view its monitor overlaps,
while a window source type simply records a frame from the surface
directly, except without recording a timestamp, so that timestamps
always refer to when damage actually happened.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1361
Now that we don't use the record function to early out depending on
implicit state (don't record pixels if only cursor moved for example),
let it simply report an error when it fails, as we should no longer ever
return without pixels if nothing failed.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1361
Both do more or less the same but with different methods - one puts
pixels into a buffer using the CPU, the other puts pixels into a buffer
using the GPU.
However, they are behaving slightly different, which they shouldn't.
Lets first address the misleading disconnect in naming, and later we'll
make them behave more similarly.

That was obviously always the intention, but it didn't work when the
display was scaled. My 3840x2160 monitor with a 3840x2160 texture was
being rendered with LINEAR filtering.
It seems the `force_bilinear` flag was TRUE when it should be FALSE.
Because a texture area that's an integer fraction of the texture
resolution is still a perfect match when that integer is the monitor
scale. We were also getting:
`meta_actor_painting_untransformed (fb, W, H, W, H, NULL, NULL) == FALSE`
when the display was scaled. Because the second W,H was not the real
sampling resolution. So with both of those issues fixed we now get
NEAREST filtering when the texture resolution matches the resolution it's
physically being rendered at.
Note: The background texture actually wasn't equal to the physical monitor
resolution prior to January 2020 (76240e24f7). So it wasn't possible to do
this before then. Since then however, the texture resolution is always
equal to the physical monitor resolution.

It doesn't take all children - subsurfaces in this case - into
account, thus creating glitches if subsurfaces extend outside
of the toplevel surface.
Further more it doesn't seem to serve any special purpose - it was
added in f7315c9a36, a pretty big commit, and no discussion was
started about the code in question. So it was likely just overlooked
in the review process.

gnome-shell displays workspace previews at one tenth scale. That's a
few binary orders of magnitude so even using a LINEAR filter was
resulting in visible jaggies. Now we apply mipmapping so they appear
smooth.
As an added bonus, the mipmaps used occupy roughly 1% the memory of
the original image (0.1 x 0.1 = 0.01) so they actually fit into GPU/CPU
caches now and rendering performance is improved. There's no need to
traverse the original texture which at 4K resolution occupies 33MB,
only a 331KB mipmap.
In my case this reduces the render time for the overview by ~10%.

The frame clock owner should be able to explicitly destroy (i.e. make
defunct) a frame clock, e.g. when a stage view is destructed. This is so
that other objects can keep reference to its without it being left
around even after stopped being usable.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
Currently there is a point in between hot plug, and when the stage view
list is up to date. The check also tests for this behaviour; would this
ever change, the test should be adapted to deal with this too.

Replace the default master clock with multiple frame clocks, each
driving its own stage view. As each stage view represents one CRTC, this
means we draw each CRTC with its own designated frame clock,
disconnected from all the others.
For example this means we when using the native backend will never need
to wait for one monitor to vsync before painting another, so e.g. having
a 144 Hz monitor next to a 60 Hz monitor, things including both Wayland
and X11 applications and shell UI will be able to render at the
corresponding monitor refresh rate.
This also changes a warning about missed frames when sending
_NETWM_FRAME_TIMINGS messages to a debug log entry, as it's expected
that we'll start missing frames e.g. when a X11 window (via Xwayland) is
exclusively within a stage view that was not painted, while another one
was, still increasing the global frame clock.
Addititonally, this also requires the X11 window actor to schedule
timeouts for _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN/_NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS event emitting,
if the actor wasn't on any stage views, as now we'll only get the frame
callbacks on actors when they actually were painted, while in the past,
we'd invoke that vfunc when anything was painted.

This also changes the view construction path used by the renderer view
to use the new 'add_view()' function, meaning we have a common entry
point for views into the renderer, which will be useful later on.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
Before we'd create the view in init(), then continue poking at it in
realize(). Move all of the screen stage view initialization to
realize(), as that's when we have all the dependent state available.
This is possible since there is nothing needing it until realizing.

The repaint callbacks are not tied to repaint, thus a bit misleading.
What the functionality in the pre/post-paint callbacks here cares about
is when actually painting; the non-painting related parts has already
moved out to a *-update signal.
This also renames the related MetaWindowActorClass vfuncs, to align with
naming convention of the signals that it listens to.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
Instead of going via MetaCompositor to know about when we updated
(confusingly named post-paint), use the new stage signal directly.
Note that this doesn't change the time frame callbacks are dispatched;
it's still not tied to actual painting even though it seemed so before
given the function names.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
The clutter "thread" repaint callback are not tied to painting, but
indirectly to updating. What the cursor renderer cares about is when we
actually painted, as this is related to the OpenGL fallback paths.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
We'd emit multiple "presented" signals per frame, one for "sync" and one
for "completion". Only the latter were ever used, and removing the
differentiation eases the avoidance of cogl onscreen framebuffer frame
callback details leaking into clutter.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
The vfunc was not tied to "paint", but was used by MetaWindowActorX11
as part of the "update" mechanisms. In order to make that more clear,
special case it in MetaWindowActorX11 by type checking the surface
actor, handling the case without MetaSurfacActor abstraction.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
The synchronization must happen no matter the painting, as it in itself
might result in reported damage, making the stage actually painted. Thus
move it out of the "pre-paint" handler, to something explicitly not tied
to the painting itself - ClutterStage::before-update.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
Instead of the 'pre-paint' signal on MetaCompositor, rely directly on
the 'before-update' signal on the stage. A reason for this is that the
callback should not only invoked in connection to painting, but updating
in general. Currently the 'pre-paint' signal is emitted no matter
whether there were any painting or not, but that's both misleading and
will go away.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
The mutexes was used by ClutterTexture's async upload and to match GDK's
mutexes on X11. GDK's X11 connection does not share anything with
Clutter's, we don't have the Gdk Clutter backend left, and we have
already removed ClutterTexture, so lets remove these mutexes as well.

A frame clock dispatch doesn't necessarily result in a frame drawn,
meaning we'll end up in the idle state. However, it may be the case that
something still requires another frame, and will in that case have
requested one to be scheduled. In order to not dead lock, try to
reschedule directly if requested after dispatching, if we ended up in
the idle state.

The native backend had a plain counter, and the X11 backend used the
CoglOnscreen of the screen; change it into a plain counter in
ClutterStageCogl. This also moves the global frame count setting to the
frame info constuctor.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
We currently have mutter set a global frame counter on the frame info in
the native backend, but in order to do this from clutter, change the
frame info construction from being implicitly done so when swapping
buffers to having the caller create the frame info and passing that to
the swap buffers call.
While this commit doesn't introduce any other changes than the API, the
intention is later to have the caller be able to pass it's own state
(e.g. the global frame count) along with the frame info.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
We had time unit conversion helpers (e.g. us2ms(), ns2us(), etc) in
multiple places. Clean that up by moving them all to a common file. That
file is clutter-private.h, as it's accessible by both from clutter/ and
src/.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
Currently unused, but it's intention is to use as a initial refresh rate
for a with the stage view associated frame clock. It defaults to 60 Hz
if nothing sets it, but the native backend sets it to the associated
CRTCs current mode's refresh rate.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
Without an associated actor, or explicit frame clock set, in the future
a timeline will not know how to progress, as there will be no singe
frame clock to assume is the main one. Thus, deprecate the construction
of timelines without either an actor or frame clock set.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
The MetaLater functionality needs to make sure an update is scheduled so
that it can run its callbacks etc. This used a ClutterTimeline (which is
an object more or less meant to drive animations markers, frames etc)
just to keep the master frame clock running. We're moving away from a
single master clock, so just schedule updates directly instead, with the
newly exposed API.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
We'd check if there was any queued redraw on the stage, but this is
inappropriate for two reasons:
1) A monitor and area screen cast source only cares about damage on a
subset of the stage.
2) The global pending-redraw is going away when paint scheduling will be
more view centric.
