We've been sending all events to clients immediately for quite some time
now, so this is only really impacting the Clutter scene graph, not
clients anymore.
That makes this behavior a somewhat unnecessary optimization (it was
useful at the time it was added, but it's not anymore), which will only
make our lives harder when we actually expect an event to be queued
(eg. in tests), so remove it.

As suggested by Carlos in a review of this MR, refactor the logic of
clutter_do_event() to have both adding and removing of devices from the
devices list in a single place.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2696>
Having the stage device list be responsible for delivering the
same events twice (first immediately to clients, then later to Clutter)
was expected to be tricky, a sneaky problem with it right now is the
following case:
While collecting events for a stage update cycle, we get three touch
events from the backend: TOUCH_BEGIN(seq=1) -> TOUCH_END(seq=1) ->
TOUCH_BEGIN(seq=1)
What we do right now when we see a TOUCH_BEGIN event is adding a device
to the stage right when it comes in from the backend. And when we see
a TOUCH_END, we remove the device from the stage not immediately but
only after it went through the queue.
In the case of the three events mentioned above, with the current
behavior, this will happen when they come in from the backend:
- TOUCH_BEGIN(seq=1): device gets added to the stage with seq 1, event
gets queued
- TOUCH_END(seq=1): Nothing happens, event gets queued
- TOUCH_BEGIN(seq=1): we try to add device to the stage, but seq 1 is
already there, event gets queued
Now when we go through the queue and see the TOUCH_END, the device with
seq 1 gets removed, but on the subsequent TOUCH_BEGIN, we won't add a
new device, so this event (and all events with seq=1 that are still in
the queue) is now ignored by Clutter because it has no device.
What we want to do here is to cut short once the TOUCH_END event comes
in: Process queued events immediately and make sure the device is
removed from the stage list before a new device can be added. Same goes
for any other events that will lead to devices getting removed.
Small note: Since this leads to clutter_stage_get_device_actor()
returning NULL, I was wondering why we never crash because of this:
Turns out _clutter_actor_handle_event() handles self = NULL just fine
without crashing...
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2696>
With commit 6c17aa66c6 we made sure no
stale device entries might land in the stage device list. The same can
happen for pointer devices too in theory, in practice we never really
filter them out, but it's good to handle them here anyway.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2696>
We'll call this function from a few more places for the
CLUTTER_DEVICE_REMOVED case, so move the check for which devices are
valid into the function itself to avoid having to check everywhere.

Updating of the paint volume used for culling these days happens

Rename the `last_paint_volume` to `visible_paint_volume`: That avoids
confusion with the `had_effects_on_last_paint_volume_update` flag and

Rename the paint_volume_valid flag to has_paint_volume in order to
better reflect what it's for.
The name "paint_volume_valid" implies that the paint volume can be
invalidated and thus sounds like it's involved with some kind of
caching. The flag that's actually involved with caching is
"needs_paint_volume_update", while "paint_volume_valid" is only meant to
store whether the actor has a paint volume to work with.
So rename paint_volume_valid to has_paint_volume to avoid confusion
about which flag is used for caching.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1492>
For clarity and for further improvements, introduce a separate function
to update the paint volume instead of doing that inside
_clutter_actor_get_paint_volume_mutable().
Also add a FIXME comment for a possible bug I noticed while working on
it.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1492>
Since ClutterActor now properly caches its paint volume and ClutterText
tries hard to invalidate its own cached paint volume on every redraw
anyway (that's more often than ClutterActor invalidates its own paint
volume), we can simply rely on the caching of the paint volume done by
ClutterActor and invalidate that on every redraw.
So remove the private cached paint volume from ClutterText and all its
invalidation machinery.

The function _clutter_paint_volume_get_stage_paint_box() actually

These days it's possible to chain up into the default get_paint_volume()

real_get_paint_volume() where it belongs.

There do indeed seem to be places in our own code that trigger grabs on
actors before they are realized. It was not the intention to change the
practical preconditions for GNOME 43, so make it an even lower minimum
that every caller ought to match: That the actor is attached to the stage.
Further constraining of these preconditions will have to wait until
branching for new development.

The bare minimum that we can ask to an actor before creating a grab
on it is that it is realized (and thus, attached to the stage). Bail
out if that is not the case when creating a grab.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2669>
If an actor is being unrealized or otherwise unparented, it's a good
indication that its grabs are now stale and possibly harmful. Ensure
these are dropped when the actor is unparented.
This is now an unlikely event, since there is code to also dismiss
grabs when a visible grabbed actor goes unmapped. But that may be
prevented from happening, or the ordering of circumstances allow a
grab to be created and an actor destroyed without going unmapped
first. This grab dismission on unmap stays as it matches the UI-level
expectatives that an actor must be visible to be grabbed.

If we have a window that match the size (i.e. will pass the "fits
framebuffer" low level check), that doesn't mean it matches the
position. For example, if we have two monitors 2K monitors, with two 2K
sized windows, one on monitor A, and one on monitor both monitor A and
B, overlapping both, if the latter window is above the former, it'll end
up bing scanned out on both if it ends up fitting all the other
requirements.
Fix this by checking that the paint box matches the stage view layout,

The source field was removed from ClutterEvent with commit
b644ea1bce because the preferred way of
getting the event actor is now to use the device/sequence actor from the
stage directly.
With crossing events it's not that easy though, as crossing events
explicitly have a source and related actor that doesn't have to be the
same actor as the device actor. Since we kept around the "related" field
there anyway, let's also introduce a "source" field in
ClutterCrossingEvent and return that actor when get_source() is called
on a crossing event.

Just like we did with the ::captured-event signal, add detail to the
::event signal too. At the first glance this might not seem necessary
since there are individual signals like scroll-event or touch-event that

events and others.
As an easy solution for that, just make it possible to use detail on the
event signal as we did with the caputured-event signal.

In some hardware configurations, presentation timestamps could be
missing from some page flip events, leading to a temporary loss of
vblank synchronization.
This occurs at least with AMD GPUs for atomic commits that only update

When taking the scanout path we still want to clear the
redraw-clip from the stage-view in order to ensure we skip
frames in `handle_frame_clock_frame()` if no new redraw-clip
was recorded.
This was not done previously as the accumulated redraw-clip was
needed for the next repaint, likely under the assumption that
scheduling a scanout repeatedly would be computationally cost-free.
This assumption does not hold in a VRR world.
In order to archive both, an accumulated redraw-clip for the next
paint and frame-skipping during scanout, introduce new API to defer
and accumulate redraw-clips until the next repaint.

This can happen with the native backend if the previous frame clock
dispatch didn't result in any KMS update, e.g. because it was triggered
by an input event, but the HW cursor didn't need updating on the stage
view. (This is likely to happen on some out of multiple stage views,
but might be possible even with a single stage view if the cursor isn't
visible)
We would previously delay next_presentation_time_us by one refresh
interval in this case, which could result in spuriously leaving one
refresh cycle unused.

Somewhat long overdue... We've been supporting more than a single
pointer for quite a long time now, let's make sure things don't break if

In certain edge cases it's currently possible that an actor never
gets a valid allocation and paint volume.
One such case is adding an unmapped, hidden child to an unmapped
cloned parent and then showing the child. This happens currently
e.g. if a Wayland subsurface is added to a already mapped window
while the user is in the overview.
Ensure relayouts in two more such cases.

The notification list in the GNOME Shell calendar popup triggers some
interesting interactions when closing a notification:
- Close button is clicked
- The notification animates to be hidden
- The next notification ends up hovered as a result of the animation
- The notification being hovered sets its close button as non-transparent
and reactive
- The pointer is now again over a close button
At this point the reactiveness change should trigger a repick, so that
the new notification's close button is picked, and future button presses
are directed to it, but we do not handle this situation.
To fix this, handle actors becoming reactive so that if the closest
reactive parent has a pointer, it will be repicked again just in case
the pointer is over the newly reactive actor.

The function that currently invalidates pointers over an specific actor

happen (i.e. the actor became unmapped, or non-reactive).

`clutter_actor_iter_destroy` will try to match up the iterator's `age`
with that of the parent ("root") actor:
```
g_return_if_fail (ri->age == ri->root->priv->age);
```
In a simple actor graph that's completely reasonable but somewhere in the
more complex graph of gnome-shell the parent's `age` was skipping ahead
faster than that of the iterator. This could happen in theory if the
destroy indirectly leads to more children being destroyed than the
iterator has visited.
So there's no evidence of actual corruption, only the age check might
fail in a `clutter_actor_iter_destroy` loop because the age check itself
can't handle all possible valid scenarios.
Since our only mandate is to destroy all children, we can do that reliably
without an iterator and thus without assuming anything about the parent's
`age` counter.

Mutters event filter can prevent events from getting processed by
Clutter, this can also happen for TOUCH_END/CANCEL events. Processing
these events in Clutter is crucial for proper tracking of touch
sequences though, that's because Clutter adds a PointerDeviceEntry to
the stage on a TOUCH_BEGIN *before* going through the event filter, but
removes that entry on a TOUCH_END *after* going through the filter. So
Clutter really needs to see those TOUCH_END events, or else there will
be a stale PointerDeviceEntry on the ClutterStage.
Make sure those TOUCH_END/CANCEL events always get seen by Clutter by
removing the device entry immediately when those get filtered out.
Because there might still be events belonging to this sequence in the
event queue of the stage, we need to flush the queue before removing the
entry, too.

Unfortunately we cannot do this generically since the target of the
button/touch press does matter, e.g. tapping on the OSK, or clicking
the IBus candidates window. These situations should not trigger a
reset.
So be more selective about the situations where button/touch presses
trigger an IM reset, in the case of ClutterText these are still clicks
inside the actor, for Wayland's text-input it is when clicking the
surface that has text_input focus.
For all other situations where clicking anywhere else might make
sense to trigger an IM reset are covered by the focus changing paths,
that also ensure a reset before changing focus between surfaces/actors.

I've overseen quite an important case in commit
98a5cb37d9: Repicking only when actors get
destroyed is not enough, we actually need to repick when actors go
hidden/unmapped.
While we could also listen to notify::mapped just like we listen to
notify::reactive, it seems better to avoid using property notifications
here due to the usage of g_object_freeze/thaw_notify() in ClutterActor.
It can lead to the stage receiving a notify::mapped with mapped = true
for a pointer actor, which really shouldn't happen (just like
notify::reactive with reactive = true shouldn't happen).

There's a bunch of crashes right now where the assertions in
clutter_actor_set_mapped() after calling the map/unmap() vfuncs are
failing. The only way this can happen is by re-entering
clutter_actor_set_mapped() during the map/unmap recursion.
The reason for those crashes is that the shell hides/shows some actors
in response to crossing events and key-focus changes. These in turn get
triggered by the newly introduced ungrabbing of ClutterGrabs when an
actor gets unmapped, which triggers GRAB_NOTIFY crossing events and
key-focus changes.
Since these situations are hardly avoidable (it's a valid use-case to
hide/show something in response to a crossing/key-focus event), catch
the set_mapped() call early while we reenter the mapping machinery and
log a warning instead of crashing.

With the introduction of untrottled event delivery to wayland clients,
we moved the _clutter_event_process_filters() call outside of
_clutter_process_event(). This also moved the processing of event
filters outside of the timespan where the event is added to Clutters
current_event stack, making Clutter.get_current_event() no longer
available to anything happening inside mutters event filter.
One thing that happens in mutters event filter is detecting and
triggering keybindings like the alt-tab switcher. Now the alt-tab
switcher has a special case where it finishes and activates a window
right when the keybinding gets activated, relying on the current event
time as the timestamp to activate the window.
Now since the current event time is no longer available from inside
mutters event filter, we'd pass 0 to meta_window_activate(), causing
mutter to send a notification instead of actually activating the window.
To fix this, also set a current_event for the ClutterContext when going
through event filters, this makes sure Clutter.get_current_event_time()
works when called inside keybinding handlers.

In the right combination of circumstances, and given 2 actors (parent
actor P with an offscreen effect and child actor C), we may have the
following situation happening:
- A redraw is queued on the actor C, actors C and P are marked as
priv->is_dirty and priv->propagated_one_redraw.
- During paint() handling we paint actor P, priv->propagated_one_redraw
is turned off.
- We recurse into child actor C, priv->propagated_one_redraw is turned
off.
- A new redraw is queued on actor C, actors C and P are marked as
priv->is_dirty and priv->propagated_one_redraw.
- The paint() method recurses back, actors C and P get priv->is_dirty
disabled, priv->propagated_one_redraw remains set.
- At this point queueing up more redraws on actor C will not propagate
up, because actor C has priv->propagated_one_redraw set, but the
parent actor P has priv->is_dirty unset, so the offscreen effect will
not get CLUTTER_EFFECT_PAINT_ACTOR_DIRTY and will avoid repainting
actor C.
The end result is that actor C does not redraw again, despite requesting
redraws. This situation eventually resolves itself through e.g. relayouts
on actor P, but may take some time to happen.
In order to fix this, consider actors that did get a further redraw
request still dirty after paint().

The ClutterGestureAction base code would correctly try to cancel a
gesture if it would receive GRAB_NOTIFY leave events (that would indicate
other portions of the actor tree stole input away from the gesture actor),
but it would mistakenly do so only if the gesture was already initiated,
possibly leaving stale point information if the gesture collected input
but didn't initiate yet.
This could be indirectly seen clicking with the mouse on OSK keys with
no motions in between, clicks would accumulate on the swipeTracker
gestures until the trigger point, so the third click could drag the
workspaces.

It does not make sense that the event "source" (aka the target) is
both content and recipient of a message. Not doing so, events become
largely independent of the actor that is receiving/handling an

them, but other users may remain in extensions, so make these

The distribute_natural_allocation() function was copied over from Gtk to
Clutter 11 years ago with commit e636a0bbce.
Gtk only supports integers sizes in its layout machinery, while Clutter
does everything using floats.
Since this function sets the minimum_size (the size we allocate the
children in the end) to an integer, this means we're implicitly
typecasting floats to integers here, effectively floor()'ing all sizes
that we allocate the box children.
A bug this caused in gnome-shell was that a scrollView (like the one in
the endSessionDialog) was showing scrollbars even though the content
perfectly fit inside the view: Say the content and its scrollView parent
request a size of 63.9 px, but get allocated a size of 63 px by a box
layout. Now the scrollView notices that its allocated size is smaller
than the requested size and thus shows a scrollbar.
So fix that and use floats in distribute_natural_allocation() instead of
integers, as we do everywhere else in the layout machinery.

Wayland event processing and WM operations are themselves outside the
ClutterGrab loop so far. Until this is sorted out, these pieces of
event handling have got to learn to stay aside while there is a
ClutterGrab going on.
So, synchronize foci and other state when grabs come in or out, and
make it sure that Wayland event processing does not happen while
grabs happen.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2099>
Since we want these accessed from bindings this must be a boxed
type. This has the side effect of making ClutterGrab a refcounted
object, since we want to avoid JS from pointing to freed memory
and maybe causing crashes if misusing the object after dismiss.

Toggling the click action on when leaving the actor/action sounds weird,
this was presumably meant to toggle it off on leave, and back to in_held
on enter. This way, the CLUTTER_LEAVE handling also matches what we want
to do in case of grabs.

The lack of handling of regular crossing events here is dubious, perhaps
to be fixed later on. So far, ensure gestures are cancelled whenever
a grab-inducted crossing event would leave this action in the blue.

This is (luckily!) unused, and it's inconvenient to have a toggle to

This looks like a relic of glReadPixels-based picking, the pointer
might well be outside redrawn areas, yet still require a device
update (e.g. in order to reflect the actor layout changes in the
"clear area" info).
Instead, always update all devices that are inside the view after
relayouts, the tracking on the need for that update is now done
on each ClutterStageView, instead of globally in the ClutterStage.
This theoretically fixes situations where pointers might miss
updating their "clear area" after the actor tree changed.

As ClutterGrab is a stack, the backend only cares about some grab

Emit crossing events whenever a grab coming or going would cause a
pointer/touchpoint to become inactive on their position. Depending

We will want to be more specific about the portions of the actor
hierarchy that receive this event, separate creation and emission
so each place does what is relevant.
However, this commit brings no functional changes.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2068>
These events are not meant to be ever silenced away, every actor
that is meant to receive one should do so. Make it sure that those
events cannot be stopped, despite the event signal handlers return
values.
This opens the debate about whether crossing events should be
ClutterEvents, since they are more and more uncommon at being one,
maybe this notification mechanism should be taken away from the
event machinery, but that's something for future refactors.

Hopefully, the one to make them all converge. This new ClutterGrab
represents a handle on a created grab. These are stacked, so grabs
can be overridden and remain inactive until there is a time that
they become active again, although undoing these early is optional.
These grabs are global, they do apply to all pointer, touchpoint
and keyboard foci.
At the moment, only the API to create and stack those is added,
the actual functionality is added in future commits.

A property for reversing the visible order of children is a bit odd.
It has also been unused by actual gnome-shell code since 2010, and the
somewhat related pack_start()/pack_end() API in GtkBox(Layout) is gone
in GTK4.
With that in mind, turn the property into a no-op and deprecate it,
so that it can be dropped next cycle.

This ensures they remain perfectly smooth regardless of how the
dispatch time has been adjusted/optimized/delayed/jittered.
Idea by Ivan Molodetskikh <yalterz@gmail.com>
For example, dragging a window on a 60Hz monitor:
BEFORE
delta(time_us) = 17014μs
delta(time_us) = 15998μs
delta(time_us) = 17006μs
delta(time_us) = 16975μs
delta(time_us) = 16001μs
delta(time_us) = 17002μs
delta(time_us) = 17006μs
delta(time_us) = 16004μs
AFTER
delta(time_us) = 16667μs
delta(time_us) = 16667μs
delta(time_us) = 16670μs
delta(time_us) = 16667μs
delta(time_us) = 16669μs
delta(time_us) = 16668μs
delta(time_us) = 16664μs
delta(time_us) = 16674μs
Caveat 1: Because we don't know a "next presentation time" on the first
frame, the interval between the first and second frame will usually be
different to the subsequent steady interval. So this change increases the
jitter of just frame 2, but eliminates jitter thereafter.
Caveat 2: `clutter_frame_clock_schedule_update_now` schedules updates
earlier than `clutter_frame_clock_schedule_update`. This means potentially
you could get multiple frames targeting the same "next presentation time".
That doesn't really change here though - we're dispatching at the same
times as we used to and just giving timelines a better vsync-aligned
timestamp now.

This won't change anything for 60Hz displays but higher refresh rate
users will benefit.

This is notably necessary with transformations, since these don't
trigger allocation machinery, but may affect the actor under the

With Wayland handling all events as they come, this code now just
performs motion compression for events that will be handled by Clutter
widgetry.
The intent to opt tablets and styli out of motion compression was
early and fast client handling, since that is now covered in a generic
manner, this code is superfluous. We don't really need the extra events
for these devices in compositor widgetry either.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1915>
We essentially create those at the time they need to be handled, and
use shortcuts that avoid the event from being queued up. It's too much
of a short cut though, these events are also of interest to the Wayland
event handlers, e.g. to handle pointer state changes (e.g. repicks due
to the pick actor being destroyed) immediately, instead of at the next
event.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1915>
If we are still under the "clear area" of the pick actor, we forget
to update the coordinates. This is usually not needed, unless we
need to repick again for non-event circumstances (e.g. pick actor
is destroyed). This will ensure the right pointer coordinates are
used afterwards in those situations.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1915>
Traditionally, the next repaint would also involve picking, which
would correct the actor under the pointer. This now does not happen
out of the box, so we really are waiting for the next pointer event
here.
To avoid the pointer/cursor to lag behind, trigger an immediate
repick here, that will look up the new actor under the pointer
coordinates.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1915>
And resort to it first, unless we are told to ignore the cache
(e.g. after relayouts). This avoids further pick context operations
while the pointer is on the current actor.

This safe area is the region (in stage coordinates) where the pointer
is ensured to stay within the current actor. This is not used yet, but
will be used for optimizations in pointer picking.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1915>
These may be used for optimizations once we find the pick actor,
so picking can be avoided in areas we know didn't cross into
other actors. Nothing makes use of it yet though, just log these
so far.

As event handling goes:
1) Events get generated and queued by the seat (from another thread in
native, in the same thread in X11)
2) The MetaBackend gets those events and forwards them to Clutter
via clutter_do_event()
3) The events get queued in the ClutterStage
4) At the time of processing a frame, the input events are processed,
5) Motion events are throttled, only the last is effectively handled
6) Events are filtered, wayland and WM handling happens here
7) Events maybe reach to clutter
This commit moves 6 to happen between 2 and 3. The end result is that:
- Throttling only applies to Clutter event handling, The wayland event
forwarding bits will handle the event stream as soon as it comes, as
timely as possible.
- WM event handling is also unthrottled, but that's more of a side
effect.
- This all still happens on the main thread, so there's the possibility
that other busy areas (e.g. relayout) temporarily block this event
forwarding.
- Sending events unthrottled inherently means more CPU, probably
dependent on input devices' frequency. The impact is not measured.
This should bring the best of both worlds with e.g. 1000Hz mice, wayland
clients get unthrottled events, while GNOME Shell UI still behaves like
it used to do.

In the case a11y is required, the screen reader is very much
interested in getting an uninterrupted flow of key events. It attempts
so by setting a ::captured-event callback on the ClutterStage, but
that falls short with our MetaDisplay event handler, as clutter events
can be stopped before a11y gets a chance to see them.
This kind of selective amnesia wrt key events is not new, in X11 those
go unheard of by the WM as long as a client is focused and no grabs hold,
so it is clients' responsibility to talk with AT bridge.
This commit doesn't yet change that for X11, but we can do this right
away from the compositor on Wayland, and without any chance to be
tampered by clients.

If one would end up with an actor attached to mapped actor, where the
attached actor doesn't itself have an up to date stage view list while
listening on the stage for updating, when clearing the stage views of
the list, anything that would query the stage views list at this time
would end up accessing freed memory.
This could happen if
1) An actor was added to a newly created container actor attached to
the stage
2) The actor got a timeline attached to it
3) The actor was moved to a container that already was mapped
4) A hotplug happened
After (1) both the container and actor would not have any stage views.
After (2) the timeline would listen on the stage for stage views
updates. After (3) the actor would still listen on the stage for stage
views updates. When (4) happened, the actor would be signalled when the
stage got its stage view cleared, at which point it would traverse up
its actor's tree finding an appropriate stage view to base its animation
on. The problem here would be that it'd query the already mapped
container and its yet-to-be-cleared stage view list, resulting in
use-after free, resulting in for example the following backtrace:
0) g_type_check_instance_cast ()
1) CLUTTER_STAGE_VIEW ()
2) clutter_actor_pick_frame_clock ()
3) clutter_actor_pick_frame_clock ()
4) update_frame_clock ()
5) on_frame_clock_actor_stage_views_changed ()
6) g_closure_invoke ()
7) signal_emit_unlocked_R ()
8) g_signal_emit_valist ()
9) g_signal_emit ()
10) clear_stage_views_cb ()
11) _clutter_actor_traverse_depth ()
12) _clutter_actor_traverse ()
13) clutter_actor_clear_stage_views_recursive ()
14) clutter_stage_clear_stage_views ()
...
Avoid this issue by making sure that we don't emit 'stage-views-changed'
signals while the actor tree is in an invalid state. While we now end up
traversing tree twice, it doesn't change the Big-O notation. It has not
been measured whether this has any noticible performance impact.

This does two things to frown upon:
- Modifies ClutterEvent structs, while the effort is to have those
completely opaque, and readonly after creation from the input
thread side.
- Stores state in the ClutterInputDevice struct, event though those
are also considered static after creation, managed by the input
thread, etc.
Stop doing that. This makes all events just forwarded as-is in
the ClutterStage/clutter-main.c code.
Handling of click count sounds like material for a ClutterGestureAction
(or perhaps ClutterClickAction), all of both callers now do it in place
at the moment, while gestures lack a better state tracking and management.

This will not try the captured-event shenanigans to emulate grab
behavior, instead relying on event delivery being influenced by
other grab mechanisms.

By default, the pan action performs matrix translations on the
child widget. Nobody wants that (or, nobody wants *just* that).
It's cleaner not to mix mechanism and effect in ClutterGestureAction
subclasses, so drop this base implementation, and change the signal

It was a feature relevant for when Clutter was an application toolkit
that wanted the application window to communicate a minimum size to the

This feature was configured depending on whether the Cogl backend
reported COGL_WINSYS_FEATURE_MULTIPLE_ONSCREEN or not. All cogl backends
do report this, so any code handled the 'static' case were never used.
While we only ever use one stage, it's arguable more correct to
consilidate on the single stage case, but multiple stages is something
that might be desirable for e.g. a remote lock screen, so lets keep this
logic intact.
This has the side effect of completely removing backend features, as
this was the only left-over feature detection that they handled.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2002>
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".

Make sure that when we've recreated views that we'll actually paint a
new frame for it. This was very rarely a problem, as views tend to
result in getting damage etc being queued as side effects of various

happen. There is no situation where we want to create a new view that
should remain unpainted, so just make sure we initialize it to become up

Max render time shows how early the frame clock needs to be dispatched
to make it to the predicted next presentation time. Before this commit
it was set to refresh interval minus 2 ms. This means Mutter would
always start compositing 14.7 ms before a display refresh on a 60 Hz
screen or 4.9 ms before a display refresh on a 144 Hz screen. However,
Mutter frequently does not need as much time to finish compositing and
submit buffer to KMS:
max render time
/------------\
---|---------------|---------------|---> presentations
D----S D--S
D - frame clock dispatch
S - buffer submission
This commit aims to automatically compute a shorter max render time to
make Mutter start compositing as late as possible (but still making it
in time for the presentation):
max render time
/-----\
---|---------------|---------------|---> presentations
D----S D--S
Why is this better? First of all, Mutter gets application contents to
draw at the time when compositing starts. If new application buffer
arrives after the compositing has started, but before the next
presentation, it won't make it on screen:
---|---------------|---------------|---> presentations
D----S D--S
A-------------X----------->
^ doesn't make it for this presentation
A - application buffer commit
X - application buffer sampled by Mutter
Here the application committed just a few ms too late and didn't make on
screen until the next presentation. If compositing starts later in the
frame cycle, applications can commit buffers closer to the presentation.
These buffers will be more up-to-date thereby reducing input latency.
---|---------------|---------------|---> presentations
D----S D--S
A----X---->
^ made it!
Moreover, applications are recommended to render their frames on frame
callbacks, which Mutter sends right after compositing is done. Since
this commit delays the compositing, it also reduces the latency for
applications drawing on frame callbacks. Compare:
---|---------------|---------------|---> presentations
D----S D--S
F--A-------X----------->
\____________________/
latency
---|---------------|---------------|---> presentations
D----S D--S
F--A-------X---->
\_____________/
less latency
F - frame callback received, application starts rendering
So how do we actually estimate max render time? We want it to be as low
as possible, but still large enough so as not to miss any frames by
accident:
max render time
/-----\
---|---------------|---------------|---> presentations
D------S------------->
oops, took a little too long
For a successful presentation, the frame needs to be submitted to KMS
and the GPU work must be completed before the vblank. This deadline can
be computed by subtracting the vblank duration (calculated from display
mode) from the predicted next presentation time.
We don't know how long compositing will take, and we also don't know how
long the GPU work will take, since clients can submit buffers with
unfinished GPU work. So we measure and estimate these values.
The frame clock dispatch can be split into two phases:
1. From start of the dispatch to all GPU commands being submitted (but
not finished)—until the call to eglSwapBuffers().
2. From eglSwapBuffers() to submitting the buffer to KMS and to GPU
work completing. These happen in parallel, and we want the latest of
the two to be done before the vblank.
We measure these three durations and store them for the last 16 frames.
The estimate for each duration is a maximum of these last 16 durations.
Usually even taking just the last frame's durations as the estimates
works well enough, but I found that screen-capturing with OBS Studio
increases duration variability enough to cause frequent missed frames
when using that method. Taking a maximum of the last 16 frames smoothes
out this variability.
The durations are naturally quite variable and the estimates aren't
perfect. To take this into account, an additional constant 2 ms is added
to the max render time.
How does it perform in practice? On my desktop with 144 Hz monitors I
get a max render time of 4–5 ms instead of the default 4.9 ms (I had
1 ms manually configured in sway) and on my laptop with a 60 Hz screen I
get a max render time of 4.8–5.5 ms instead of the default 14.7 ms (I
had 5–6 ms manually configured in sway). Weston [1] went with a 7 ms
default.
The main downside is that if there's a sudden heavy batch of work in the
compositing, which would've made it in default 14.7 ms, but doesn't make
it in reduced 6 ms, there is a delayed frame which would otherwise not
be there. Arguably, this happens rarely enough to be a good trade-off
for reduced latency. One possible solution is a "next frame is expected
to be heavy" function which manually increases max render time for the
next frame. This would avoid this single dropped frame at the start of
complex animations.

A simply wrapper around `CoglTexture`, making it easy to reuse

It optionally takes a clip rectangle which is implemented by
creating a `CoglSubTexture`. A limitation here is that floating

When using `CLUTTER_PAINT=damage-region` highlighting was conspicuously
absent during fullscreen animations like entering or leaving the
overview. That was because `queued_redraw_clip` was empty, because it
had been initialized from `redraw_clip == NULL` (full stage redraw).
Now we paint the damage region as the full view (which it is) instead
of nothing at all.

All pointer a11y is a fabrication of Clutter backend-independent
code, with the help of a ClutterVirtualInputDevice and with some
UI on top.
On the other hand, MetaInputSettings is a backend implementation
detail, this has 2 gotchas:
- In the native backend, the MetaInputSettings (and pointer a11y
with it) are initialized early, before the ClutterSeat core
pointer is set up.
- Doing this from the MetaInputSettings also means another dubious
access from the input thread into main thread territory.
Move the pointer a11y into ClutterSettings, making this effectively
backend-independent business, invariably done from the main thread
and ensured to happen after seat initialization.

Since commit d2f8a30625 we use Graphene to union paint volumes, it
turns out a quite severe issue snuck in during review of that MR though:
Unioned paint volumes (so paint volumes of any actors with children) now
have negative heights. Once projected to 2d coordinates they luckily are
correct again, which is why everything is still working.
The problem is that obvious once looking closer: For the y coordinates
of the unioned paint volume we confused the maximum and the minimum
points and simply used the wrong coordinates to create the unioned paint
volume.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1827>
The graphene functions used by clutter for picking assume that boxes are
inclusive in both there start and end coordinates, so picking at y
coordinate 32 for an actor with the height 32 placed at y coordinate 0
would still be considered a hit. This however is wrong as 32 is the
first position that is not in the actor anymore.
Usually this would not be much of a problem, because motion events are
rarely ever at exactly these borders and even if they are there will be
another motion event soon after. But since actors in gnome-shell usually
are aligned with the pixel grid and on X11 enter/leave events are
generated by the X server at integer coordinates, this case is much
more likely for those.
This can cause issues with Firefox which when using client side
decorations, still requests MWM_DECOR_BORDER via _MOTIF_WM_HINTS to have
mutter draw a border + shadow. This means that the Firefox window even
when using CSD is still reparented. For such windows we receive among
others XI_RawMotion and XI_Enter events, but no XI_Motion events. And
the raw motion events are discarded after an enter event, because that
sets has_pointer_focus to TRUE in MetaSeatX11. So when moving the cursor
from the panel to a maximized Firefox window the last event clutter
receives is the enter event at exactly integer coordinates. Since the
panel is 32px tall and the generated enter event is at y position 32,
the picking code will pick a panel actor and the focus will remain on it
as long as the cursor does not leave the Firefox window.
Fix this by excluding the bottom and right border of a box when picking.

Turns out ClutterClones need a bit of extra handling as always, there's
currently nothing that invalidates a clones paint volume when the source
actors paint volume changes.
Since ClutterClones get_paint_volume() implementation simply takes the
source actors paint volume and returns that, we should make sure they
are kept in sync and invalidate the clones paint volume as soon as the
source actor gets its PV invalidated.

Updating the last_paint_volume while painting has proven itself to be
quite prone to issues: First we had to make sure actors painted by
offscreen effects get their last_paint_volumes updated correctly (see
0320649a1c), and now a new issue turned up
where we don't update the paint volumes while a fullscreen unredirect is
happening.
To stop those issues from happening and to lay the foundation for using
the last_paint_volume for other things, update the last_paint_volume in
a separate step before painting instead of doing it in
clutter_actor_paint().
To save some resources, avoid introducing another traversal of the
scenegraph and add that step into the existing step of updating the
stage_views lists of actors. To properly update the paint volumes, we
need to do that after finishing the queued redraws, which is why we move
clutter_stage_maybe_finish_queue_redraws() to happen before the new
clutter_stage_finish_layout().

The priv->paint_volume field of ClutterActor stores the cached paint
volume in the actors local coordinate system. It consist of the actors
paint volume itself and the union of all children paint volumes.
We want to invalidate those cached paint volumes according to the
following rules:
- If an actors transformation matrix changes, all paint volumes of the
parent-tree need to be invalidated (that's because the parent-volumes
have unioned the actors paint volume). Our own paint volume does not
need invalidation since the transformation matrix is not applied to it.
- If an actors allocation-size changes, its own paint volume and all the
volumes of the parent-tree need to be invalidated. That's because the
allocation-size is used as the size of the paint volume.
- If a clip gets set or clip_to_allocation gets enabled for an actor,
its own paint volume and all the volumes of the parent-tree need to be
invalidated. That's because the clip is factored in when creating the
paint volume.
So far we did this invalidation in various places and the invalidation
up the parent-tree happened inside clutter_actor_real_queue_relayout().
We did not invalidate on changes to the actors transformation matrices
and the invalidation in clutter_actor_real_queue_relayout() was more
like a "big hammer" that probably invalidated unnecessarily a few times.
So introduce proper infrastructure to invalidate those cached paint
volumes of actors only in the cases where they actually need to be
invalidated. To do that, we reuse the transform_changed() function and
introduce a new function queue_update_paint_volume() that invalidates
the paint volumes up the actor tree.

ClutterActors can override the get_paint_volume() vfunc in case they
draw outside the allocation. That's used by a bunch of actors, for
example ClutterText or StViewport in gnome-shell.
In case of StViewport, the paint volume returned depends on the value of
the StAdjustment, which means when we start to cache paint volumes more
agressively in ClutterActor, we'll need to add API that allows
StViewport to invalidate the paint volume. So introduce
clutter_actor_invalidate_paint_volume() to invalidate the cached paint
volume.

The action might not have been triggered yet, as per its trigger

We might want to perform distance/threshold checks in the ::prepare
vfunc, but we didn't record the last motion event yet. This used to
give a delta of 0/0 between the press and last motion coordinates,
despite the ClutterGestureAction having a trigger threshold. This
happens no longer.

The usage of clutter_actor_get_preferred_width/height() for building the
pick box can trigger Clutters size negotiation machinery in case the
allocation of the actor is invalidated, with commit 82f3bdd1 we worked
around that by excluding actors with invalidated allocations from
picking.
There's no need to do that though, when picking we always want to
operate on the last known allocation of the actor, since that is what's
actually painted on the screen.
So instead of not picking at all when an actors allocation is
invalidated, just use the size of the last allocation. We still have to
factor in one extra case, that's when an actor hasn't gotten any
allocation yet: In that case we want to exclude the actor from picking
since the actor is not on the screen yet.
This fixes a regression introduced by the commit mentioned above where
picking wouldn't work on windows that have just been resized.

Some events such as the proximity one requires a device to be set before
we process them, so ensure we process the event details after we've
added the device to the seat.

The CallyStage objects lifetime is tied to the stage, so if we add a
weak pointer to it, we won't be able to remove it, as we would try to do
so not until the stage itself is being disposed, at which point removing
it fails. However, not removing it will make the stage try to clean up
the weak refs, and since it does this more or less directly after
freeing the cally stage, it ends up writing NULL to freed memory,
causing memory corruption.
Fix this by avoiding adding the weak pointer when that pointer is to the
stage.

Since commit 2ceac4a device-related X11 events aren't processed anymore,
causing the input settings not to handle the devices.
This is due to the fact that we may never call clutter_seat_handle_event_post()
for such events.
While this is always happening for the native backend, it doesn't happen in
X11 because the events are removed from the queue as part of
meta_x11_handle_event(), and thus no event was queued to the stage by the
backend events source.
This also makes sure that the event post handler is called after the
event is actually processed, and not before an event is queued.

To make the double buffered shadow buffer damaged tiles detection
feasable, a new EGL extension is needed for creating FBO's backed by
a custom CPU memory buffer, instead of DMA buffers, as DMA buffers can
be very slow to read, much slower than just painting the shadow buffer
directly.
Leave the code there, since such an EGL extension is intended to be
added, but hide it behind an env var so that it isn't enabled by
accident.

Regarding the sequence = 0 fallback: in some cases (moving a cursor
plane on atomic amdgpu) we get sequence = 0 in the page flip callback.
This seems like an amdgpu bug, so work around it by assuming a sequence
delta of 1 (it is equal to 1 because of the sequence != 0 check above).
Sequence can also legitimately be 0 if we're lucky during the 32-bit
overflow, in which case assuming a delta of 1 will give more or less
reasonable values on this and next presentation, after which it'll be
back to normal.
Sequence is also 0 on mode set fallback and when running nested, in
which case assuming a delta of 1 every frame is the best we can do.

This concerns only the cases when the presentation timestamp is received
directly from the device (from KMS or from GLX). In the majority of
cases this timestamp is already MONOTONIC. When it isn't, after this
commit, the current value of the MONOTONIC clock is sampled instead.
The alternative is to store the clock id alongside the timestamp, with
possible values of MONOTONIC, REALTIME (from KMS) and GETTIMEOFDAY (from
GLX; this might be the same as REALTIME, I'm not sure), and then
"convert" the timestamp to MONOTONIC when needed. An example of such a
conversion was done in compositor.c (removed in this commit). It would
also be needed for the presentation-time Wayland protocol. However, it
seems that the vast majority of up-to-date systems are using MONOTONIC
anyway, making this effort not justified.

KMS and GLX device timestamps have microsecond precision, and whenever
we sample the time ourselves it's not the real presentation time anyway,
so nanosecond precision for that case is unnecessary.

ClutterText has a bit of a mess around its signalling of changes to the
cursor position: There's the position (deprecated) and cursor-position
property, and there's the cursor-changed and cursor-event (deprecated)
signal. The two properties are supposed to be notified when the cursor
position changes, and the two signals are notified when the cursor
position or size changes.
Now the properties notifications and the signals get fired in two very
different places: The two properties are notified in
clutter_text_set_cursor_position(), while the signals are fired during
the paint cycle when we figured out the final cursor position. The
latter is a pretty bad idea, nobody expects such a signal to be fired
during painting, and also changes to the text that are done in the
signal handler will only be applied on the next paint.
Now StEntry listens to cursor position changes via cursor-changed and
invalidates its text shadow, but since the signal is only notified
during the paint, the old text shadow will still get applied. To fix
this, also emit the cursor-changed signal when we notify the
cursor-position property.

This removes the responsibility of tracking these from the backend to
the base object. The backends are instead responsible for calling the
function to update the values.
For the native backend, it's important that this happens on the correct
thread, so each time either of these states may change, post a idle
callback on the main thread that sets the, at the time of queuing said
callback, up to date state. This means that things on the main thread
will always be able to get a "new enough but not too new" state when
listening on the 'notify::' signals and getting the property value
after.

In an x11 session, we don't receive motion events from X when the
pointer is above a window. Since commit 734a1859 we only do picking on
motion events though, which means when clicking the mouse to focus a
window, we don't repick and might still think the pointer is hovering
above another window or actor, ending up not focussing the window.
Fix this by always repicking on BUTTON_PRESS events. While this is not
necessary in the wayland session, button presses happen rarely compared
to motion events, so it's not a performance regression to do it in
Wayland sessions, too.

ClutterText allows setting a custom PangoAttrList, and St uses that to
set the text style it's reading from CSS. One style St enforces using
this mechanism is the text color and setting the text color should
obviously not affect the size of the layout. ClutterText does queue a
relayout in that case though because it unconditionally queues a
relayout when updating the PangoAttrList.
We can avoid this relayout by reusing an optimization ClutterText has:
clutter_text_queue_redraw_or_relayout() will only queue a relayout if
the requested size of the layout changed.

With 734a185915 an optimization was
introduced to only pick on events which can actually cause the pointer
to move. In case of touch events, the first event (TOUCH_BEGIN) will
already move the touchpoint though, and we'll send our crossing
CLUTTER_ENTER event to the actor this TOUCH_BEGIN happened on.
So fix this embarrassing bug that caused touch input to break by also
picking to find an event-actor on TOUCH_BEGIN events.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1733>
Aside from ENTER/LEAVE, there are only two kinds of events that can move
the pointer, motion events and touch update events. Everything else
keeps the pointer at it's current position.
The reason we pick inside _clutter_process_event_details() is that we
want to set the event actor. Now if an event can't move the pointer, it
also can't change the event actor (well, it can subsequently by
triggering changes to the scenegraph, but that's handled elsewhere), so
there's no need to pick a new event actor when we get those events.
Instead, simply reuse the actor that's already associated with the
current input device as the event actor for non MOTION/TOUCH_UPDATE
events.
Events where a device or a touchpoint goes away (like DEVICE_REMOVED or
TOUCH_END/CANCEL) also affect picking, they don't need a repick, but
instead the actor associated with the device/touchpoint needs to be
unassociated. This is ensured by invoking remove_device_for_event() on
those events and will not be affected by this change.
This should improve performance while scrolling quite a bit, since
scroll events come in unthrottled and we now no longer do a repick on
each one of those.

We might have a stage view listener attached to the stage itself if the
actor didn't have a suitable frame clock when the actor was associated
with the timeline. We'd then listen to stage-views-changed signals on
the stage itself to be able to attach to a frame clock when one
appeared.
What went wrong is that if an actor that didn't have a frameclock was
associated with a timeline, but then destroyed, the timeline would
disassociate itself from the actor, but it'd still listen on the
stage-views-changed signal on the stage. This would be in itself
harmless, until the timeline itself is destroyed, as at this point, it
wouldn't clean up the stage-views-changed listener on the stage, as it's
assumed to only be valid when there is an actor attached.
Fix this issue by cleaning up the stage's stage-views-changed listener
when the actor is destroyed, as we wouldn't be able to make use of it by
then anyway.

Before this commit, next presentation time could end up behind now_us or
ahead of now_us depending on how presentation times happened to be
aligned relative to integer multiples of refresh_interval_us. It's not
clear whether this was originally intended because even if it the next
presentation time ends up behind now_us, it is moved ahead by a while
loop down below in this function.
Even though this difference in behavior didn't really matter, it made
reasoning about the subsequent branches more complex. It would also
potentially introduce bugs if the logic was to be modified. So this
commit makes it so next presentation time is always ahead of now_us.

Last presentation time is mainly used to make sure predicted

Previously we were setting the FBO's viewport to be the same dimensions as
the stage itself for compatibility. This works for most cases, but not if
the actor is larger than the stage. In that case it could cause excessive
clipping if the actor's transformed screen position was negative, which
is seen in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/2087
Also if a small actor paints to its negative dimensions (like a box-shadow)
then we might be missing those pixels on the left or top, even though
they're inside the paint volume.
Now we set the viewport dimensions to match the area we're actually
rendering so the FBO contents are never over or under clipped.

If we are about to replace `redraw_clip` with a clamped version of itself
then we may as well do the same for `queued_redraw_clip`, so you can see
more precisely what the damage of the current frame is.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1554>
Initially we generate the new part of fb_clip_region from the new part
of redraw_clip, scale it up and clamp. But the clamping means the new
part of fb_clip_region might now represent a slightly larger area than
the new part of redraw_clip, by one pixel.
In some rare cases where a foreground actor honours redraw_clip, but
the background actor does not (meaning it might fill all fb_clip_region),
you could find 1px rendering glitches in that gap as the background
actor paints there but the foreground actor does not.
To ensure such glitches can never happen we now regenerate the final
redraw_clip as a clamped superset of the final fb_clip_region. That's
the minimum area we must paint to ensure no gaps appear inside
fb_clip_region.
Although the fix here sounds like the intent of the old code, the old
code forgot to include the new part of fb_clip_region in the clamping
of the final redraw_clip. So the new part of redraw_clip was sometimes
kept too small for the new part of fb_clip_region.
We also move the code to the main path because technically it's also
needed when `has_buffer_age == FALSE`.

Don't mode set each CRTC in separate KMS updates, as reconfiguring one
CRTC might cause other CRTCs to be implicitly reset thus as well,
causing KMS return EBUSY if using atomic modesetting.
Prepare for this by compositing each CRTC first including adding steps
to the KMS update, but wait until all views has rendered at least once
before posting the initial update. After this each CRTC is posted
separately.
Using EGLStreams instead of normal page flipping seems to fail when
doing this though, so handle that the old way for the EGLStream case,
i.e. eglSwapBuffers() -> mode set with dumb buffer -> eglStream
"acquire" (resulting in page flip under the hood).
For this we also introduce a new error code so that we don't use client
buffers when doing mode sets, which could accidentally configure the
CRTC in a way that is incompatible with the primary plane buffers.

A frame may or may not include redrawing, but will always end with a
result.
A asynchronous page flip, for example, will result in a
CLUTTER_FRAME_RESULT_PENDING_PRESENTED, while a frame that only
dispatched events etc will result in CLUTTER_FRAME_RESULT_IDLE. Instead
of this being implicit, make the ClutterStageWindow implementation
handle this itself.

ClutterClickEvent currently doesn't check if button press and release
happen within the drag threshold, which can be surprising sometimes.
Only emit the "clicked" signal if the button press and release happen
within the area of drag threshold.

In clutter_timeline_set_actor() we currently always unset the
priv->frame_clock pointer of the old actor when a new actor gets set.
The priv->frame_clock pointer takes a reference on the ClutterFrameClock
though, so we leak ClutterFrameClocks here.
To fix it, simply rely on update_frame_clock(), which will call
set_frame_clock_internal() unconditionally to update the
priv->frame_clock pointer for us.

Some effects such as the BrightnessContrastEffect try to skip rendering
by returning early with a FALSE return value in pre_paint() in cases
where the effect would not change the rendering. This stopped working
when effects were ported to paint nodes.
In the case of OffscreenEffects, like BrightnessContrastEffect,
pre_paint() is responsible for setting up the offscreen buffer which is
then used in paint_node(). However if pre_paint() fails, this buffer is
not created and attempting to use it will result in several error
messages and broken rendering.
Instead of trying to call paint_node() of the effect if pre_paint()
failed, just draw the actor.

When using alt-tab to switch between windows, on a key handler we
undo the compositor grab, which triggers a repick, which generates
crossing events, which are handled in place, and trigger these
reentrancy checks.
On one hand, we do intend these crossings to take effect in place,
rather than being queued (possibly after a number of already queued
events). On the other hand, we now outright discourage generating
events from random places (and hope to make it just not possible,
eventually) thus we can afford not to protect against reentrancy
caused by API misuse.
So just drop these checks, and let these crossing events be
properly handled.

This is the very same code than meta_wayland_pointer_repick(),
made part of Clutter, so triggering repicks on the same pointer
coordinates is made easy.
The intention is to remove meta_wayland_pointer_repick() in favor
of this call.

Updating the state before emitting the CLUTTER_LEAVE event allows its
handlers to query the pointer actor, and avoid getting the same actor
again. Conceptually, this makes picking more "atomic", and the events a
notification of the change.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1654>
Turns out GObject implicitly notifies all properties by default as soon
as a property setter is called, no matter if the property actually
changed or not. One can opt-out of this behavior by setting the
G_PARAM_EXPLICIT_NOTIFY flag.
So since almost all our properties get notified explicitely (well,
except ClutterActors deprecated show-on-set-parent property), set this
flag for all properties of ClutterActor and ClutterStage now. This
significantly reduces the number of notify:: signals emitted on
ClutterActors, because in gnome-shell javascript we usually set GObject
properties directly, not by going through the extra setter method.
More cleanups can be done in the future, since this flag is suitable for
almost every property in Clutter and even Mutter.
This fixes a crash where we'd hit a newly introduced assertion in
on_device_actor_reactive_changed() of ClutterStage because
notify::reactive got emitted multiple times.

Due to a few reasons currently the updating of input devices after stage
relayouts isn't working right now. Since we now have a list of pointer
devices in ClutterStage, we can simply use that list and can avoid
asking the input thread. Also we no longer need to check whether the
devices are pointer devices, since our list only consists of pointer
devices.
So switch to ClutterStages private list of pointer devices, which also
includes the core pointer (as opposed to the list returned by
clutter_seat_peek_devices()). This fixes picking after relayouts.
Note that this doesn't catch every possible change that might need a
repick, actors might also need a repick after transformation changes or
in case their custom clip has been changed.

As planned and prepared with the last commits, let ClutterStage take
care of tracking input devices and their respective actors. This means
we now can remove the old infrastructure for this from
ClutterInputDevice.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1633>
We're moving keeping track of input devices and their associated actors
out of ClutterInputDevice, this commit basically adds replacements for
clutter_input_device_update() and clutter_input_device_set_actor() to
clutter-main and shuffles the internals of those functions around a bit
for clarity.
clutter_stage_update_device() is made available in clutter-mutter.h
because we need to update the actor of input devices not only from
ClutterStage (when repicking after relayout), but also from
MetaWaylandPointer (inside meta_wayland_pointer_repick()).
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1633>
With the introduction of the input thread, we want to avoid modifying
ClutterInputDevices from the main thread, since they're owned and
updated by the thread.
There's one part of ClutterInputDevice that's still modified from the
main thread though, that is device-actors of pointer devices, and we're
going to move that state-tracking into ClutterStage instead.
So start that by adding the infrastructure to ClutterStage to keep track
of those things. It consists of two hashtables which associate devices
and touch sequences with actors, those hashtables get updated using
clutter_stage_update_device_entry() and
clutter_stage_remove_device_entry(), they can be queried by calling
clutter_stage_get_device_actor(), which will replace
clutter_input_device_get_actor().
clutter_stage_get_device_coords() is added and made available in
clutter-mutter.h because we need to get the coordinates when repicking
in meta_wayland_pointer_repick().

The n_steps variable corresponds to the number of *pairs* of
texture lookups that the blur shader does. For example, when
n_steps = 1, the for-loop reads 1 pixel before and 1 pixel
after the current one.
Our blur shader is heavily inspired in WebRender's blur shader,
the biggest difference being that we calculate the gaussian
samples in the fragment shader itself, and not in the vertex
shader. (This could be an improvement in performance for the
future though!)
WebRender's blur shader calculates n_steps differently than what
we currently do, though. It calculates n_step in such a way that
at least 2 steps are performed for evey non-zero sigma value.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1646>
The shader already operates on floating point sigma, and
there's just no reason for us to force it to be an unsigned
integer. It's still important that sigma must be positive
though.
Make sigma a float, and make sure it's a positive number.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1646>
Yet another way to reduce the instruction count of the fragment
shader. Passing a pair of floats once is virtually free, compared
to computing horizontal and vertical on each fragment run.

New entries indirectly added to `pending_queue_redraw` during the loop
would make our iterator invalid and cause `g_hash_table_iter_next` to
fail without having visited all elements. That was seen as assertion
failures but also likely resulted in incomplete paint clips.
Now we steal the iterator's entry before such corruption can happen,
free it manually, and reset the iterator to the beginning on every
iteration. This is actually safe and efficient because we're removing each
entry we visit. So no time is wasted in resuming from the (new) beginning
of the hash table.

Add a new pair of APIs corresponding to CoglFramebuffer's draw_rectangles()
and draw_textured_rectangles(). They're generally more performance compared
to adding multiple single-rect operations. These variants are heavily used
by GNOME Shell's CSS implementation.
The op array is built to match cogl_framebuffer_draw_textured_rectangles()
always, which means it's a series of 8 floats composed (x1 y1 x2 y2) and
(s1 t1 s2 t2). To avoid adding new struct fields to ClutterPaintOperation,
which is a performance and memory sensitive structure, simply divide the
array length by 8 (which is guaranteed to be correct).

Setting an ortho projection gives us pretty much the same result as
manually calculating the projection matrix. The ortho projection is
actually more "complete" than the custom projection we've been using,
as it also considers z-near and z-far, but in practice the generated
pixels are exactly equal.

In the purely paint node based rendering future, ClutterEffects
simply add more paint nodes to the tree when painting the actor.
This is the leap to achieve that future.

ClutterEffectNode creation to _clutter_effect_paint().

The paint node tree that ClutterOffscreenEffect generates is
simple:
Root
|------------+
| |
Layer Pipeline
|
Actor
Right now, both pre-paint and ClutterLayerNode push the offscreen
to the framebuffer stack. That's harmless, and will go away soon
anyway.
The actor node is created and added in a separate function because
it'll be reused by the next commit.

Add a new ClutterPaintNode parameter to the paint_target() vfunc.

The blur pipeline is still cached on ClutterBlurEffect, and we
simply update the uniforms when asked to create the pipeline.
Now that ClutterOffscreenEffect will use the blur pipeline, it
doesn't need to override the paint_target() vfunc anymore.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1355>
The most annoying aspect of ClutterOffscreenEffect right now, and
the reason for all its subclasses to override pre-paint, is that
the pipeline creation isn't under subclasses' control. That means
all subclasses must ask ClutterOffscreenEffect to run pre-paint
and create the pipeline, then they all create their own pipelines
to paint.
To reduce this complexity, add a new create_pipeline() vfunc to
ClutterOffscreenEffect. Next commits will port effects to use this
new vfunc.

ClutterLayerNode currently skips pushing the offscreen framebuffer when
no operations are set. This was added at the time because pushing and
popping was a synchronization point in Cogl, slow enough to force the
layer node to have this protective measure. Nowadays, pushing and
popping on the paint context is free.
Make ClutterLayerNode always push and pop in pre and post paint.

Until now we would `clutter_input_focus_set_cursor_location` with
cursor-rectangle-in-physical-pixels + actor-location-in-stage-coordinates.
But those use different scaling factors so it only got the right answer
when the framebuffer scale was 1.0.
This directly determines the geometry of the invisible dummy cursor in
gnome-shell ibusCandidatePopup.js:
```
panelService.connect('set-cursor-location', (ps, x, y, w, h) => {
this._setDummyCursorGeometry(x, y, w, h);
});
```
And because it's invisible it wasn't obvious that it was wrong until you
enable `CLUTTER_PAINT=damage-region` and you can see its ghost at the wrong
offset and scale.
So now we `clutter_input_focus_set_cursor_location` using purely unscaled
stage coordinates. And `CLUTTER_PAINT=damage-region` shows that
gnome-shell's `_dummyCursor` is placed precisely over the visible cursor.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3399
and probably other IBus issues that arise when using framebuffer scaling.

`priv->cursor_rect` is stored in physical pixels, not local coordinates.
So unscale it before returning from `clutter_text_get_cursor_rect`, which
is explicitly documented as returning "actor-relative coordinates".
This went missed with fractional scaling support, and unnoticed as nobody
uses `clutter_text_get_cursor_rect` yet. But that will soon change.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1576>
Before now it was assumed that the only negative local coordinates would
be those introduced by `_clutter_actor_box_enlarge_for_effects`, and we
used the difference for `fbo_offset_x/y`. But that was misguided (of me)
because gnome-shell can give us paint volumes at negative coordinates too,
like when rendering `box-shadow` on the top or left edge of an actor.
The maximum extents of negative coordinates we might need to render are
in fact the (enlarged) left and top edges of the paint volume. So use
those as the FBO offset. This places the actor's local origin correctly
within the FBO and thus also ensures it's not over-clipped at the edges
of the FBO, which now line up with the enlarged extents of the paint
volume.
This fixes one third of

Apparently it can happen that a timeline tries to pick a frame clock
from an actor that's on a stage, but the actor still doesn't find a
frame clock and returns NULL.
This probably is the case when starting a timeline right after attaching
an actor to a newly created stage, so before the first stage-update
cycle. In this case clutter_actor_update_stage_views() will not have run
and the stage-actor will have priv->stage_views set to NULL even though
there are stage views.
To prevent this from happening, use the complete list of stage views
maintained by the backend when picking a frame clock for the stage.
This doesn't fix any issue appearing on master, but is correct
nonetheless.

Instead of using native backend platform data specifically, store
this info in ClutterMotionEvent. This includes time in usec since
it's just used for motion events, in the future it could make sense
to make these general to all events again, but it could make sense
to make ClutterEvent structs private before.
In order to express that a motion event has relative motion info,
the CLUTTER_EVENT_FLAG_RELATIVE_MOTION event flag has been added
for it.

We have this as platform-dependent data in the native backend, and
a bunch of fallback code done in place in the evcode users. Stop

Making this an event is overly convoluted, accounting that we
emit the event, then convert it to a ClutterStage signal, then

It is not possible to express a blit operation using paint
nodes as of now. This is a requirement for GNOME Shell, e.g.,
to implement its blur effect.
Add a new ClutterBlitNode node that takes two framebuffers as
input, and blits the source framebuffer into the current one
according to added rectangles.
Because this paint node uses the rectangles in a different way
compared to all the other nodes, add an auxiliary method to
ensure all blit operations are valid.

ClutterLayerNode is the "offscreen framebuffer" node, that paints it's
child nodes in a separate framebuffer, and then copies that framebuffer
to the parent one.
It'll be useful to hand ClutterLayerNode which framebuffer and pipeline
to use, as this is a requirement for porting e.g. ClutterOffscreenEffect
and subclasses.
Add a new clutter_layer_node_new_to_framebuffer() API.

Some effects, such as ShellBlurEffect and ClutterOffscreenEffect, need
to make sure the actor is painted fully opaque. With ClutterActorNode,
however, that is currently not possible.
Add a new 'opacity' parameter to clutter_actor_node_new(). It follows
the opacity override heuristic, where -1 means disable, and anything
else is clamped to [0, 255].

Introduce a new paint_node vfunc that, if implemented, allows
the effect to add nodes to a transient paint node that is
immediately painted. This is a transitional step until we
have fully delegated paint node rendering.
The most basic implementation of a ClutterEffect.paint_node
vfunc, and also the default implementation, is with an actor
node, as follows:
```
static void
foo_bar_paint_node (ClutterEffect *effect,
ClutterPaintNode *node,
ClutterPaintContext *paint_context,
ClutterEffectPaintFlags flags)
{
g_autoptr (ClutterPaintNode) actor_node = NULL;
actor_node = clutter_actor_node_new (effect->actor);
clutter_paint_node_add_child (node, actor_node);
}
```
This example gives the exact same behavior of simply calling
clutter_actor_continue_paint(). In the future, the paint node
itself will be a parameter of clutter_actor_continue_paint()
and we'll be able to simplify it event more.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1340>
ClutterEffectNode is a private ClutterPaintNode implementation
that does effectively nothing, but helps organizing the paint
node tree. It also helps debugging, since it can output the
effect class and name to the JSON debugging routines.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1340>
The idea of having a paint node tree is that we don't really need
to retrieve the framebuffer from ClutterPaintContext. For example,
ClutterLayerNode draws into an offscreen framebuffer; if any child
of a layer node needs to retrieve a framebuffer to draw, the layer
node's offscreen framebuffer should be used.
However, clutter_paint_node_get_framebuffer() goes straight to the
root node of the tree, skipping any potential paint nodes with a
custom framebuffer.
Modify clutter_paint_node_get_framebuffer() to walk up the paint
node tree until a node with a custom framebuffer appears. In many
cases, this will end up either in dummy or layer node's custom
framebuffer implementations.

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

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.
