Simplify the handling of numlock state, so it can be entirely handled
within the input thread. Since the saving/restoring is triggered inside
each backend code, there's no need anymore for meta_backend_set_numlock().

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.

Rename the set_tablet_keep_aspect() vfunc into a set_tablet_aspect_ratio()
one that takes an aspect ratio double, instead of leaking monitor info

These use now more of a "pull" model, where they receive update
notifications and the relevant input position is queried, instead
of the coordinates being passed along.
This allows to treat cursor renderers all the same independently
of the device they track. This notifying of position changes should
ideally be more backend-y than core-y, a better location will be
figured out in future commits.

Different devices may get standalone cursor renderers, add this API

Monitor tile info is possible to fetch when RANDR version 15 is exposed
by the X11 server. We had inverted the check meaning that only if older
versions were advertised would we attempt to init the tile information.
Fix this guard, thus fix monitor tiling on X11.

This is a bit scattered around, with the setter/getter in Clutter, and
it only being only directly honored in Wayland (it goes straight through
device properties in X11).

A first step towards abandoning the CoglObject type system: convert
CoglFramebuffer, CoglOffscreen and CoglOnscreen into GObjects.
CoglFramebuffer is turned into an abstract GObject, while the two others
are currently final. The "winsys" and "platform" are still sprinkled
'void *' in the the non-abstract type instances however.

CoglMatrix already is a typedef to graphene_matrix_t. This commit

Just because X11/XI uses a particular terminology doesn't mean we

When a device is removed from the seat the events that this device may have
emitted just before being removed might still be in the stage events queue,
this may lead a to a crash because:
Once the device is removed, we dispose it and the staling event is
kept in queue and sent for processing at next loop.
During event processing we ask the backend to update the last device
with the disposed device
The device is disposed once the events referencing it, are free'd
The actual last device emission happens in an idle, but at this point
the device may have been free'd, and in any case will be still disposed
and so not providing useful informations.
To avoid this, once a device has been added/removed from the seat, we queue
ClutterDeviceEvent events to inform the stack that the device state has
changed, preserving the order with the other actual generated device events.
In this way it can't happen that we emit another event before that the
device has been added or after that it has been removed.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1345
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.

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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1404
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
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.

The new "id" properties for the MetaCrtc* and MetaOuput* objects are 64-bit

Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1343.
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.

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 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.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1285
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
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
When a touch sequence was rejected, we'd update the event timestamps of
incoming touch events to help with implementing grabs. This was done by
sending a ClientMessage with a counter, and comparing the counter to
decide whether we're seing a replayed event or not.
This had the unforseen consequence that we would potentially end up
destroying all actors including the stage, since, when mutter receives a
ClientMessage event, it would assume that it's a WM_PROTOCOLS event, and
handle it as such. The problem with this approach is that it would
ignore fact that there might be other ClientMessage types sent to it,
for example the touch synchronization one. What could happen is that the
touch count value would match up with the value of the WM_DELETE_WINDOW
atom, clutter would treat this as WM_PROTOCOLS:WM_DELETE_WINDOW, which
it'd translate to clutter_actor_destroy(stage).
Destroying the stage in such a way is not expected, and caused wierd
crashes in different places depending on what was going on.
This commit make sure we only treat WM_PROTOCOLS client messages as
WM_PROTOCOLS client messages effectively avoiding the issue.
This fixes crashes such as:

Add a method to ClutterSeat that allows peeking the list of input
devices and allow looping through devices a bit faster. The API left is
private so we can make use of peeking the GList internally, but don't
have to expose any details to the outside, which means we'd have to
eventually stick with a GList forever to avoid breaking API.
Since we now have the peek_devices() API internally, we can implement
ClutterSeats public list_devices() API using g_list_copy() on the list
returned by peek_devices().

MetaCrtcInfo and MetaOutputInfo did not represent information about
MetaCrtc and MetaOutput, but the result of the monitor configuration
assignment algorithm, thus rename it to MetaCrtcAssignment and
MetaOutputAssignment.
The purpose for this is to be able to introduce a struct that actually
carries information about the CRTCs and outputs, as retrieved from the
backend implementations.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1287
That is is_presentation, is_primary, is_underscanning and backlight.
The first three are set during CRTC assignment as they are only valid

When the stage views the stage is shown on are changed, ClutterStage
currently provides a clutter_stage_update_resource_scales() method
that allows invalidating the resource scales of all actors. With the new
stage-views API that's going to be added to ClutterActor, we also need a
method to invalidate the stage-views lists of actors in case the stage
views are rebuilt and fortunately we can re-use the infrastructure for
invalidating resource scales for that.
So since resource scales depend on the stage views an actor is on,
rename clutter_stage_update_resource_scales() and related methods to
clutter_stage_clear_stage_views(), which also covers resource scales.

Using XDG_CONFIG_HOME allows users to place their keyboard configuration into
their home directory and have them loaded automatically.
libxkbcommon now defaults to XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/ first, see
https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/pull/117
However - libxkbcommon uses secure_getenv() to obtain XDG_CONFIG_HOME and thus
fails to load this for the mutter context which has cap_sys_nice.
We need to manually add that search path as lookup path.
As we can only append paths to libxkbcommon's context, we need to start with
an empty search path set, add our custom path, then append the default search
paths.
The net effect is nil where a user doesn't have XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/.

Move Wayland support (i.e. the MetaWaylandCompositor object) made to be
part of the backend. This is due to the fact that it is needed by the
backend initialization, e.g. the Wayland EGLDisplay server support.
The backend is changed to be more involved in Wayland and clutter
initialization, so that the parts needed for clutter initialization
happens before clutter itself initialization happens, and the rest
happens after. This simplifies the setup a bit, as clutter and Wayland
init now happens as part of the backend initialization.

Will be used for logging to identify what view a log entry concerns. For
the native and nested backend this is the name of the output the CRTC is
assigned to drive; for X11 it's just "X11 screen", and for the legacy

nested".

In the native backend, the MetaRenderer manages the view by creating one
per CRTC, but until now the MetaStageX11 managed the view for the X11
backend. This caused some issues as it meant meta_renderer_get_views()
not returning anything, and that the view of the X11 screen not being a
MetaRendererView, while in the other backends, all views are.
Fix this by moving the view management responsibility to
MetaRendererX11Cm, and have MetaStageX11 only operate on it via
meta_renderer_x11_cm_*() API. The MetaRendererX11Cm takes care of making
sure the view is always added to the list in the renderer, and turning
X11 screen sizes into "layouts" etc.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1251
"Legacy" is a misleading name, it's just how the native backend and the

It was removed in 3.34 as part of 6ed5d2e2. And we thought that was the
only thread that might exist and use X11. But the top gnome-shell crasher
in 3.36 seems to suggest otherwise.
We don't know what or where the offending thread is, but since:
1. We used XInitThreads for years already prior to 3.34; and
2. Extensions or any change to mutter/gnome-shell could conceivably use
threads to make X calls, directly or indirectly,
it's probably a good idea to reintroduce XInitThreads. The failing assertion
in libx11 is also accompanied by a strong hint:

Some tablets like the Cintiq 24HDT have several mode switch buttons

we just handle cycling across modes (as most other tablets have a

switch buttons, assigning each of them a mode. If the device only
has one mode switch button, we do the old-fashioned cycling.

When applying a configuration to XRANDR, we first disable CRTCs that
happen to extend outside of the to-be X11 screen size. While doing so,
we fail to actually check whether the CRTC is active or not, meaning

has none, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.

monitor. This allowed to draw different parts of the stage with
different transformations, e.g. with a different viewport to implement
HiDPI support.
Go even further and have one view per CRTC. This causes the stage to
e.g. draw two mirrored monitors twice, instead of using the same
framebuffer on both. This enables us to do two things: one is to support
tiled monitors and monitor mirroring using the EGLStreams backend; the
other is that it'll enable us to tie rendering directly to the CRTC it
will render for. It is also a requirement for rendering being affected
by CRTC state, such as gamma.
It'll be possible to still inhibit re-drawing of the same content
twice, but it should be implemented differently, so that it will still
be possible to implement features requiring the CRTC split.

To make it more reliable to distinguish between values that are read
from the backend implementation (which is likely to be irrelevant for
anything but the backend implementation), split out those values (e.g.
layout).
This changes the meaning of what was MetaCrtc::rect, to a
MetaCrtcConfig::layout which is the layout the CRTC has in the global
coordinate space.
