2c08eb6d16 build: bump ABI to sysprof-capture-4
GLib will now be linking against sysprof-capture-4.a. To support that,
sysprof had to remove the GLib dependency from sysprof-capture-4 which
had the side-effect of breaking ABi.

This bumps the dependency and includes a fallback to compile just the
libsysprof-capture-4.a using a subproject wrap.

551a57ed7f Add read-only anonymous file abstraction MetaAnonymousFile
Add MetaAnonymousFile, an abstraction around anonymous read-only files.
Files can be created by calling meta_anonymous_file_new(), passing the
data of the file. Subsequent calls to meta_anonymous_file_open_fd()
return a fd that's ready to be sent over the socket.

When mapmode is META_ANONYMOUS_FILE_MAPMODE_PRIVATE the fd is only
guaranteed to be mmap-able readonly with MAP_PRIVATE but does not
require duplicating the file for each resource when memfd_create is
available. META_ANONYMOUS_FILE_MAPMODE_SHARED may be used when the
client must be able to map the file with MAP_SHARED but it also means
that the file has to be duplicated even when memfd_create is available.

Pretty much all of this code was written for weston by Sebastian Wick,
see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/merge_requests/240.

5c37f5104e wayland/xdg-shell: Add support implicit popup moving
This sets the `is_reactive` flag on the window placement rules, causing
the popups to be reconfigured as they are affected by environmental
changes, such as the parent moving in a way making the popup partially
offscreen.

As with synchronization, the implementation is dormant, as the
version of the advertised global isn't bumped yet, as the new protocol
version is not yet fully implemented.

166a464515 wayland: Set up initialization X11 socket
This is used by GDK and the X11 bits, but may also be used for
other initialization services we might need to run along with
Xwayland initialization.

However, as the -initfd argument in Xwayland is a fairly new
feature, add some meson build-time checks so that the feature
is handled transparently while allowing to explicitly set/unset
it.

8a6673bb55 build: ensure absolute path to sysprof dbus interface dir
We want sysprof's exact datadir for compatability with
platforms where software is installed into their own
individual immutable prefix's. Such that, mutter's prefix will
never equate to sysprof's. This depends on a MR in sysprof [0]
which adds datadir to its pkgconfig files, as these files will always
have the proper path we want.

This adds version a constraint on sysprof_dep, as datadir was added to
the .pc in this version.

3e90070b88 tests/wayland: Test subsurface commits after parent was reset
Without 'wayland/surface-actor: Reset and sync subsurface state when
resetting' this test would fail.

This also adds a simple framework for testing lower level Wayland
semantics.

In contrast to the test-client and test-driver framework, which uses
gtk and tests mostly window management related things, this framework is
aimed to run Wayland clients made to test a particular protocol flow,
thus will likely consist of manual lower level Wayland mechanics.

A private protocol is added in order to help out clients do things they
cannot do by themself. The protocol currently only consists of a request
meant to be used for getting a callback when the actor of a given
surface is eventually destroyed. This is different from the wl_surface
being destroyed due to window destroy animations taking an arbitrary
amount of time. It'll be used by the first test added in the next
commit.

d7d2612218 build: Compile with -ffloat-store on x86 (32 bit)
GCC's manpage says that this flag does the following:

  Do not store floating-point variables in registers, and inhibit other
  options that might change whether a floating-point value is taken from
  a register or memory.

  This option prevents undesirable excess precision on machines such as
  the 68000 where the floating registers (of the 68881) keep more
  precision than a "double" is supposed to have.  Similarly for the x86
  architecture.  For most programs, the excess precision does only good,
  but a few programs rely on the precise definition of IEEE floating
  point.

We rely on this behaviour in our fork of clutter. When performing
floating point computations on x86, we are getting the wrong results
because of this architecture's use of the CPU's extended (x87, non-IEEE
confirming) precision by default. If we enable `-ffloat-store` here,
then we'll get the same results everywhere by storing into variables
instead of registers. This does not remove the need to be correct when
handling floats, but it does mean we don't need to be more correct than
the IEEE spec requires.

Since the API version was added, we've bumped it at some point late-ish in

a8984a81c2 xwayland: Generate a Xauth file and pass this to Xwayland when starting it
Before this commit, sudo x11-app, e.g. sudo gvim /etc/some-file, fails
when running a Wayland session. Where as doing this under a "GNOME on Xorg"
session works fine. For a user switching from the Xorg session to the
Wayland session, this is regression, which we want to avoid.

This commit fixes this by creating and passing an xauth file to Xwayland when
mutter starts it. Just like gdm or startx pass a xauth file to Xorg when they
start Xorg.

Fixes #643

cogl: Add libsysprof capture based tracing
Add the ability to add tracing instrumentation to the code. When
enabled, trace entries will generate a file with timing information
that will be processable by sysprof for generating visualization of
traces over time.

While enabled by default at compile time, it is possible to disable the
expansion of the macros completely by passing --disable-tracing to
./configure.

Tracing is so far only actually done if actually enabled on explicitly
specified threads.

This will be used by Mutter passing the write end of a pipe, where the
read end is sent to Sysprof itself via the D-Bus method 'Capture()'.

By passing that, we have to detect EPIPE that is sent when Sysprof stops
recording. Fortunately, we already ignore the signal at meta_init(), so
no need to add a custom signal handler.

a859d76c72 meson: Cleanup debug build handling

This allows custom build configurations to behave like a debug or release build.

Add `-fno-omit-frame-pointer` to Mutter/Cogl. Not to Clutter though, as that would
require more changes to how Clutter's gir is created

Remove `-DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS` from Clutter in debug builds

Add `-DG_DISABLE_CHECKS`, `-DG_DISABLE_ASSERT` and `-DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS` to all
non-debug builds but `plain`, which explicitly should not have any compile flags

Use `cc.get_supported_arguments`, so it becomes more obvious to the user which flags
are set during compilation

4e402b3972 screen-cast: Add 'cursor-mode' to allow decoupled cursor updates
The 'cursor-mode', which currently is limited to RecordMonitor(), allows
the user to either do screen casts where the cursor is hidden, embedded
in the framebuffer, or sent as PipeWire stream metadata.

The latter allows the user to get cursor updates sent, including the
cursor sprite, without requiring a stage paint each frame. Currently
this is done by using the cursor sprite texture, and either reading
directly from, or drawing to an offscreen framebuffer which is read from
instead, in case the texture is scaled.

Add Meson support for installed tests
This is the last remaining feature necessary to achieve
parity with the Autotools build.

A few changes were made to the install locations of the
tests, in order to better acomodate them in Meson:

 * Tests are now installed under a versioned folder (e.g.
   /usr/share/installed-tests/mutter-4)

 * The mutter-cogl.test file is now generated from an .in
   file, instead of a series of $(echo)s from within Makefile.

Notice that those tests need very controlled environments
to run correctly. Mutter installed tests, for example, will
failed when running under a regular session due to D-Bus
failing to acquire the ScreenCast and/or RemoteScreen names.

build: Move libmutter_name to toplevel Meson file
The libmutter name will be reused by other Meson files,
so it makes sense to share it instead of rebuilding this
string every time.

ca7c5c1223 meta/plugin: Use G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE
It cuts out some of the GObject boilerplate, and gives us g_autoptr()
support for free.

Since this changes the ABI, we also need to bump the libmutter API
version.

gudev: Require 232
gudev and libudev might have different versions, and
since 361bf847 we require gudev >= 232 to be able to
use g_autoptr with gudev types.

Since the previous commit, however, the meson build
was using the same version for libudev and gudev.

Fix that by requiring different versions for gudev
(>= 232) and libudev (>= 228).

build: Make minimum udev version as 228
Continuous' latest udev version is 228, and that is
not going to change too soon. Since we do not depend
on udev 232 specific features or bugfixes, just lower
the minimum version and make Continouos happy.

ef85d1a643 Add meson build support
This commit adds meson build support to mutter. It takes a step away
from the three separate code bases with three different autotools setups
into a single meson build system. There are still places that can be
unified better, for example by removing various "config.h" style files
from cogl and clutter, centralizing debug C flags and other configurable
macros, and similar artifacts that are there only because they were once
separate code bases.

There are some differences between the autotools setup and the new
meson. Here are a few:

The meson setup doesn't generate wrapper scripts for various cogl and
clutter test cases. What these tests did was more or less generate a
tiny script that called an executable with a test name as the argument.
To run particular tests, just run the test executable with the name of
the test as the argument.

The meson setup doesn't install test files anymore. The autotools test
suite was designed towards working with installed tests, but it didn't
really still, and now with meson, it doesn't install anything at all,
but instead makes sure that everything runs with the uninstalled input
files, binaries and libraries when running the test suite. Installable
tests may come later.

Tests from cogl, clutter and mutter are run on 'meson test'. In
autotools, only cogl and clutter tests were run on 'make check'.
