It was ambiguous what this flag meant - it did not mean whether the
backend is considering this output to be enabled, because
weston_output_destroy() unsets it while deliberately not calling the
backend disable() vfunc.
Perhaps the most clear definition is with respect to the output's
assignment in the pending vs. enabled output lists. There is also a whole
bunch of variables that are allocated only when enabled is true.
Since the flag is related to the list membership, set and clear the flag
only when manipulating the lists.
Assert that weston_compositor_add_output() and
weston_compositor_remove_output() are not called in a wrong state.

weston_compositor_add_pending_output() is the point through which all
backends must go when creating a new output. The enable and disable
vfuns are essential for anything to be done with the output, so it makes
sense to check them here, rather than when actually enabling or
disabling.
Particularly the disable vfunc is rarely called, so this gets the check
better excercised.

A weston_output available to the compositor should always be either in

weston_compositor_add_output() and weston_compositor_remove_output()
handle the moves between the lists.
This way weston_output_enable() does not need to remove and

manually re-add the output back to the pending list.
To make everything nicely symmetric and fix any unbalancing caused by

At the bottom of weston_output_finish_frame(), code exists to account
for flips which have missed the repaint window, by shifting them to lock

This code only accounted for flips which missed their target by one
repaint window. If they miss by multiples of the repaint window, adjust
them until the next repaint timestamp is in the future. This will only

repaint_scheduled is actually cleverly a quad-state, disguised as a
boolean. There are four possible conditions for the repaint loop to be
in at any time:
- loop idle; no repaint will occur until specifically requested, which
may be never (repaint_scheduled == 0)
- loop schedule to begin: the loop was previously idle, but due to a
repaint-schedule request, we will call the start_repaint_loop hook
in the next idle task
- repaint scheduled: the compositor has definitively scheduled a
repaint request for this output, which will occur in fixed time
- awaiting repaint completion: the backend has not yet signaled
completion of the last repaint request, and the compositor will not
schedule another until it does so
All but the first condition were previously conflated as
repaint_scheduled == 1, but break them out into separate conditions to
aid clarity, backed up by some asserts.

On startup, we cannot lock on to the repaint timer because it is unknown
to us. We deal with this by claiming that the moment of entry into the
repaint loop is the moment a frame returned, causing finish_frame to
delay our initial repaint to (refresh_time - repaint_delay), typically
around 9ms of utterly wasted time.
Add an explicit stamp == NULL, to determine that we are just beginning
our repaint loop, that the timings are in fact totally invalid, and that
it would be beneficial to repaint the output immediately. This will only
trigger when the display had previously been disabled or the previous
state is unknown, e.g. at startup, or coming back from DPMS off.

Signed-off-by: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen@collabora.co.uk>
When we create a new view, assign it to the primary plane from the
beginning.
Currently, every view across the compositor will be assigned to a plane
during every repaint cycle of every output: the DRM renderer's
assign_planes hook will either move a view to a drm_plane, or to the
primary plane if a suitable drm_plane could not be found for the output
it is on. There are no other assign_planes implementation, and the
fallback when none is provided, is to assign every view to the primary
plane.
DRM's behaviour is undesirable in multi-output situations, since it
means that views which were on a plane on one output will be demoted to
the primary plane; doing this causes damage, which will cause a spurious
repaint for the output. This spurious repaint will have no effect on the
other output, but it will do the same demotion of views to the primary
plane, which will again provoke a repaint on the other output.
With a simple fix for this behaviour (i.e. not moving views which are
only visible on other outputs), the following behaviour is observed:
- outputs A and B are present
- views A and B are created for those outputs respectively, with SHM
buffers attached; view->plane == NULL for both
- current buffer content for views A and B are uploaded to the
renderer
- output A runs its repaint cycle, and sets keep_buffer to false on
surface B's output, as it can never be promoted to a plane; it does
not move view B to another plane
- output B runs its repaint cycle, and moves view B to the primary
plane
- weston_view_assign_to_plane has work to do (as the plane is changing
from NULL to the primary plane), calls weston_surface_damage and
calls weston_surface_damage
- weston_surface_damage re-uploads buffer content, possibly from
nowhere at all; e508ce6a notes that this behaviour is broken
Assigning views to the primary plane when created makes it possible to
fix the DRM assign_planes implementation: assign_planes will always set
keep_buffer to true if there is any chance the buffer can ever be
promoted to a plane, regardless of view configruation. If the buffer
cannot be promoted to a plane, it must by definition never migrate from
the primary plane. This means that there is no opportunity to hit the
same issue, where the buffer content has already been discarded, but
weston_view_assign_to_plane is not a no-op.

Forcing DPMS on when we lose our session may force an expensive modeset
operation, which is pointless if the next consumer (another compositor,
or the console) is going to do a modeset. These should force DPMS on
regardless.
This actively causes problems for the DRM backend, in that it may
actually require a repaint to set coherent state for DPMS off -> DPMS on
transitions, which is very much not what we want when going offscreen.
As DRM is the only backend which actually implements DPMS, just remove
this call.

This patch implements additional functionality that will be used
for configuring, enabling and disabling weston's outputs. Its
indended use is by the compositors or user programs that want to
be able to configure, enable or disable an output at any time. An
output can only be configured while it's disabled.
The compositor and backend specific functionality is required
for these functions to be useful, and those will come later in
this series.
All the new functions have been documented, so I'll avoid
describing them here.
v2:
- Minor documentation improvements.
- Rename output-initialized to output->enabled.
- Split weston_output_disable() further into
weston_compositor_remove_output().
- Rename weston_output_deinit() to weston_output_enable_undo().
- Make weston_output_disable() call two functions mentioned
above instead of calling weston_output_disable() directly.
This means that backend needs to take care of doing backend
specific disable in backend specific destroy function.
v3:
- Require output->name to be set before calling
weston_output_init_pending().
- Require output->destroying to be set before
calling weston_compositor_remove_output().
- Split weston_output_init_pending() into
weston_compositor_add_pending_output() so pending outputs
can be announced separately.
- Require output->disable() to be set in order for
weston_output_disable() to be usable.
- Fix output removing regression that happened when
weston_output_disable() was split.
- Minor documentation fix.

v5: Drop unused view variable
libweston-desktop is an abstraction library for compositors wanting to
support desktop-like shells.
The API is designed from xdg_shell features, as it will eventually be
the recommended shell for modern applications to use.
In the future, adding new shell protocols support will be easier, as
limited to libweston-desktop.
The library versioning is the same as libweston. If one of them break
ABI compatibility, the other will too.
The compositor will only ever see toplevel surfaces (“windows”), with
all the other being internal implementation details.
Thus, popups and associated grabs are handled entirely in
libweston-desktop.
Xwayland special surfaces (override-redirect) are special-cased to a
dedicated layer, as the compositor should not know about them.
All the shell error checking is taken care of too, as well as some
specification rules (e.g. sizes constraint for maximized and fullscreen
surfaces).
All the compositor has to do is define a few callbacks in the interface
struct, and manage toplevel surfaces.

When all outputs are gone and views were created before they
were gone, such views would have no output object assigned and
nothing would assign it later. This makes sure all views are
set as dirty, so they can get an output assigned when an
output gets plugged in, if they didn't have any output assigned.
This change also works when a new output is added even if there already
are outputs in use. A view may be partly off-screen. If the new output
appears at a position where it overlaps an existing view, that view
should get updated.
It is enough to process only the main view_list, because views not on
that list are not shown for the moment and so do not need an immediate
update. Instead, they will get updated later as needed because making an
off-list view to go on-list inherently requires calling
weston_view_geometry_dirty().
