The end goal is to have all clutter backend code in src/backends. Input
is the larger chunk of it, which is now part of our specific
MutterClutterBackendNative, this extends to device manager, input devices,
tools and keymap.
This was supposed to be nice and incremental, but there's no sane way
to cut this through. As a result of the refactor, a number of private
Clutter functions are now exported for external backends to be possible.

Introduce MetaCompositorX11, dealing with being a X11 compositor, and
MetaCompositorServer, being a compositor while also being the display
server itself, e.g. a Wayland display server.

By putting `NULL` as the C marshaller in `g_signal_new`, you
automatically get `g_cclosure_marshaller_generic`, which will try to
process its arguments and return value with the help of libffi and
GValue.
Using `glib-genmarshal` and valist_marshallers, we can prevent this so
that we need less instructions for each signal emission.

This commit introduces, and makes use of, a transactional API used for
setting up KMS state, later to be applied, potentially atomically. From
an API point of view, so is always the case, but in the current
implementation, it still uses legacy drmMode* API to apply the state
non-atomically.
The API consists of various buliding blocks:
* MetaKmsUpdate - a set of configuration changes, the higher level
handle for handing over configuration to the impl backend. It's used to
set mode, assign framebuffers to planes, queue page flips and set
connector properties.
* MetaKmsPlaneAssignment - the assignment of a framebuffer to a plane.
Currently used to map a framebuffer to the primary plane of a CRTC. In
the legacy KMS implementation, the plane assignment is used to derive
the framebuffer used for mode setting and page flipping.
This also means various high level changes:
State, excluding configuring the cursor plane and creating/destroying
DRM framebuffer handles, are applied in the end of a clutter frame, in
one go. From an API point of view, this is done atomically, but as
mentioned, only the non-atomic implementation exists so far.
From MetaRendererNative's point of view, a page flip now initially
always succeeds; the handling of EBUSY errors are done asynchronously in
the MetaKmsImpl backend (still by retrying at refresh rate, but
postponing flip callbacks instead of manipulating the frame clock).
Handling of falling back to mode setting instead of page flipping is
notified after the fact by a more precise page flip feedback API.
EGLStream based page flipping relies on the impl backend not being
atomic, as the page flipping is done in the EGLStream backend (e.g.
nvidia driver). It uses a 'custom' page flip queueing method, keeping
the EGLStream logic inside meta-renderer-native.c.
Page flip handling is moved to meta-kms-impl-device.c from
meta-gpu-kms.c. It goes via an extra idle callback before reaching
meta-renderer-native.c to make sure callbacks are invoked outside of the
impl context.
While dummy power save page flipping is kept in meta-renderer-native.c, the
EBUSY handling is moved to meta-kms-impl-simple.c. Instead of freezing the
frame clock, actual page flip callbacks are postponed until all EBUSY retries
have either succeeded or failed due to some other error than EBUSY. This
effectively inhibits new frames to be drawn, meaning we won't stall waiting on
the file descriptor for pending page flips.

Move reading state into a struct for MetaCrtcKms to use instead of
querying KMS itself. The state is fetched in the impl context, but
consists of only simple data types, so is made accessible publicly. As
of this, MetaCrtcKms construction does not involve any manual KMS
interaction outside of the MetaKms abstraction.

Represents drmModeConnector; both connected and disconnected. Currently
only provides non-changing meta data. MetaOutputKms is changed to use
MetaKmsConnector to get basic metadata, but variable metadata, those
changing depending on what is connected (e.g. physical dimension, EDID,
etc), are still manually retrieved by MetaOutputKms.

A plane is one of three possible: primary, overlay and cursor. Each
plane can have various properties, such as possible rotations, formats
etc. Each plane can also be used with a set of CRTCs.
A primary plane is the "backdrop" of a CRTC, i.e. the primary output for
the composited frame that covers the whole CRTC. In general, mutter
composites to a stage view frame onto a framebuffer that is then put on
the primary plane.
An overlay plane is a rectangular area that can be displayed on top of
the primary plane. Eventually it will be used to place non-fullscreen
surfaces, potentially avoiding stage redraws.
A cursor plane is a plane placed on top of all the other planes, usually
used to put the mouse cursor sprite.
Initially, we only fetch the rotation properties, and we so far
blacklist all rotations except ones that ends up with the same
dimensions as with no rotations. This is because non-180° rotations
doesn't work yet due to incorrect buffer modifiers. To make it possible
to use non-180° rotations, changes necessary include among other things
finding compatible modifiers using atomic modesetting. Until then,
simply blacklist the ones we know doesn't work.

Add MetaKmsCrtc to represent a CRTC on the associated device. Change
MetaCrtcKms to use the ones discovered by the KMS abstraction. It still
reads the resources handed over by MetaGpuKms, but eventually it will
use only MetaKmsCrtc.
MetaKmsCrtc is a type of object that is usable both from an impl task
and from outside. All the API exposed via the non-private header is
expected to be accessible from outside of the meta-kms namespace.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/548https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/525
The intention with KMS abstraction is to hide away accessing the drm
functions behind an API that allows us to have different kind of KMS
implementations, including legacy non-atomic and atomic. The intention
is also that the code interacting with the drm device should be able to
be run in a different thread than the main thread. This means that we
need to make sure that all drm*() API usage must only occur from within
tasks that eventually can be run in the dedicated thread.
The idea here is that MetaKms provides a outward facing API other places
of mutter can use (e.g. MetaGpuKms and friends), while MetaKmsImpl is
an internal implementation that only gets interacted with via "tasks"
posted via the MetaKms object. These tasks will in the future
potentially be run on the dedicated KMS thread. Initially, we don't
create any new threads.
Likewise, MetaKmsDevice is a outward facing representation of a KMS
device, while MetaKmsImplDevice is the corresponding implementation,
which only runs from within the MetaKmsImpl tasks.
This commit only moves opening and closing the device to this new API,
while leaking the fd outside of the impl enclosure, effectively making
the isolation for drm*() calls pointless. This, however, is necessary to
allow gradual porting of drm interaction, and eventually the file
descriptor in MetaGpuKms will be removed. For now, it's harmless, since
everything still run in the main thread.

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#643https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/643
This object takes care of the X11 representation of the window stack,
namely the _NET_CLIENT_LIST and _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING root window
properties.
This code has been lifted from src/core/stack.c into src/x11 as it's
dependent on the X11 display availability. This also leaves MetaStack
squeaky clean of x11 specifics.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/420
There is no reason why we should have an internal type enum when we have
all the infrastructure to just use multiple GObject types. Also there
was no code sharing between the old "types", the only common API was
getting the framebuffer ID, so lets make that a vfunc.

This is a simple clipboard manager implementation on top of MetaSelection.
It will inspect the clipboard content for UTF-8 text and image data whenever
any other selection source claims ownership, and claim it for itself
whenever the clipboard goes unowned.
The stored text has a maximum size of 4MB and images 200MB, to prevent the
compositor from allocating indefinite amounts of memory.
This is not quite a X11 clipboard manager, but also works there.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/320
This code takes care of both setting up X11 selection sources whenever
X11 clients claim selection ownership, and claiming selection ownership
on a mutter X11 window whenever other selection sources claim ownership.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/320
This object represents a Wayland selection owner. In order to invert the
FD direction (we hand an output fd, but want an inpu fd), create an
intermediate pipe so we can then create a GInputStream on top of it.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/320
This object represents the selection ownership from an X11 client. The
list of supported targets is queried upfront, so its initialization is
asynchronous. Requests to read contents from the selection will hand
a MetaX11SelectionInputStream.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/320
MetaSelectionSource represents a primary/clipboard/dnd selection owner,
it is an abstract type so wayland/x11/etc implementations can be provided.
These 3 selections are managed by the MetaSelection object, the current
selection owners will be set there, and signals will be emitted so the
previous selection owner can clean itself up.
The actual data transfer is done through the meta_selection_transfer_async()
call, which will take a GOutputStream and create a corresponding
GInputStream from the MetaSelectionSource in order to splice them.

Meson 0.50.0 made passing an absolute path to install_headers()'
subdir keyword a fatal error. This means we have to track both
relative (to includedir) paths for header subdirs and absolute
paths for generated headers now :-(

This adds the required bits to wayland surfaces and ties them up
to the compositor parts.
It is based on and very similar in nature to buffer transforms.
From the specification:
> The global interface exposing surface cropping and scaling
> capabilities is used to instantiate an interface extension for a
> wl_surface object. This extended interface will then allow cropping
> and scaling the surface contents, effectively disconnecting the
> direct relationship between the buffer and the surface size.

Make meson link libmutter using -fvisibility=hidden, and introduce META_EXPORT
and META_EXPORT_TEST defines to mark a symbols as visible.
The TEST version is meant to be used to flag symbols that are only used
internally by mutter tests, but that should not be considered public API.
This allows us to be more precise in selecting what is exported and what is
not, without the need of a version-script file that would be more complicated
to maintain.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/395
pkg-config files for mutter are generated using *_pkg_deps as requires, but
programs linked with libmutter doesn't need most of these private dependencies
which are only needed for building and linking mutter and its subprojects.
So list packages needed only by mutter itself inside *_pkg_private_deps and
don't expose such packages to pkg-config, but only use them at build time.

Soname of the libraries should be the major version number, while the version
triplet is currently used:
objdump -p libmutter-4.so.0.0.0 | grep SONAME
SONAME libmutter-4.so.0.0.0
While is expected to be only libmutter-4.so.0
Fix all shared libraries by setting valid version and soversion.

This is a GAppLaunchContext subclass meant to replace usage of
GdkAppLaunchContext in gnome-shell.
Launch contexts get created from the MetaStartupNotification as
they are closely related. The messaging underneath depends on
the availability of a X11 display, if there is one we go through
it (and libsn). If there is none, we still create startup sequences
manually for wayland clients.
If a library is provided in the positional arguments, then meson
defaults to installing the .pc file in a 'pkgconfig' subdirectory
in the library's install location. We want the files in the regular
$libdir/pkgconfig rather than $libdir/mutter-$api/pkgconfig, so
specify the location explicitly in the parameters.

This is a simple libcanberra abstraction object, so we are able
to play file/theme sounds without poking into GTK+/X11. Play
requests are delegated to a separate thread, so we don't block
UI on cards that are slow to wake up from power saving.
Dependencies are added automatically, and we no longer get warnings
like:
clutter/clutter/meson.build:628: DEPRECATION: Library mutter-clutter-4
was passed to the "libraries" keyword argument of a previous call to
generate() method instead of first positional argument. Adding
mutter-clutter-4 to "Requires" field, but this is a deprecated behaviour
that will change in a future version of Meson. Please report the issue
if this warning cannot be avoided in your case.
Those are stub specialized classes for MetaWindowActor. This will
help ensuring that we do not execute X11-specific code paths on
pure Wayland clients.
The relationship between the window actor and the surface is the
following:
* Wayland: MetaWindowActorWayland + MetaSurfaceActorWayland
* X11: MetaWindowActorX11 + MetaSurfaceActorX11
* Xwayland: MetaWindowActorX11 + MetaSurfaceActorWayland
It is not possible to have MetaWindowActorWayland backed by a
MetaSurfaceActorX11 surface.

This makes the build less verbose, as all .gir generation except for
clutters didn't pass --quiet to g-ir-scanner, making it output long
linking commands. Do this by adding a common introspection_args
variable.
While at it, put -U_GNU_SOURCE in there too, as it was always passed
everywhere as without it the scanner would log warnings.
Typically, to stream the content of a window, we need a way to copy the
content of its window-actor into a buffer, transform relative input
coordinates to relative position within the window-actor and a mean to
get the window bounds within the buffer.
For this purpose, add a new GType interface `MetaScreenCastWindow` with
the methods needed for screen-cast window mode:
* meta_screen_cast_window_get_buffer_bounds()
* meta_screen_cast_window_get_frame_bounds()
* meta_screen_cast_window_transform_relative_position()
* meta_screen_cast_window_capture_into()
This interface is meant to be implemented by `MetaWindowActor` which has
access to all the necessary bits to implement them.

This object takes care of mapping absolute devices to monitors,
to do so it uses 3 heuristics, in this order of preference:
- If a device is known to be builtin, it's assigned to the
builtin monitor.
- If input device and monitor match sizes (with an error margin
of 5%)
- If input device name and monitor vendor/product in EDID match
somehow (from "full", through "partial", to just "vendor")
The most favorable outputs are then assigned to each device, making
sure not to assign two devices of the same kind to the same output.
This object replaces (and is mostly 1:1 with) GsdDeviceMapper in
g-s-d. That object would perform these same heuristics, and let
mutter indirectly know through settings changes. This object allows
doing the same in-process.
If meson tries to get ahead and generate object files for tests
at the same time than building libmutter, those may randomly fail
if meson did not create the libmutter generated headers yet.
Add those to the declared dependency, so the files are ensured to
be created before anything gets to use it.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/404
Add support for getting hardware presentation times from KMS (Wayland
sessions). Also implement cogl_get_clock_time which is required to compare
and judge the age of presentation timestamps.
For single monitor systems this is straightforward. For multi-monitor
systems though we have to choose a display to sync to. The compositor
already partially solves this for us in the case of only one display
updating because it will only use the subset of monitors that are
changing. In the case of multiple monitors consuming the same frame
concurrently however, we choose the fastest one (in use at the time).
Note however that we also need !73 to land in order to fully realize
multiple monitors running at full speed.
Meson uses the 'dependencies' field to determine and
parallelize build steps, but that isn't entirely true
with 'link_with'; this might cause a race condition
when generating header files while trying to build
them.
Fix that by only using 'dependencies' instead of 'link_with'.
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'.
