With commit 'screen-share: Add option to start screen sharing on weston
star' an section option has been added to start screen-sharing by
default on all outputs. This has the side-effect of attempting to start
screen-share on the same (RDP) output performing the screen-share. That
happens due to re-loading the screen-share module once more.
This patch recommends users to use --no-config option or alternatively,
use a different configuration file to avoid that.

Fbdev backend was deprecated in the Weston 10.0.0 release with
6338dbd581. Before that, I suggested
already in 2019 to remove it, but it was too soon then. Now it seems the
final voices asking for fbdev to be kept have been satisfied, see the
linked issue.
Fbdev-backend uses a kernel graphics UAPI (fbdev) which is sub-par for a
Wayland compositor: you cannot do GPU accelerated graphics in any
reasonable way, no hotplug support, multi-output support is tedious, and
so on. Most importantly, Linux has deprecated fbdev a long time ago due
to the UAPI fitting modern systems and use cases very poorly, but cannot
get rid of it if any users remain. Let's do here what we can to reduce
fbdev usage.
I am doing color management related additions to libweston which require
adding checks to every backend. One backend less is less churn to write
and review.
Libweston major version has already been bumped to 11, so the next
release will be Weston 11, without fbdev. enum weston_compositor_backend
entries change their numerical values.

This adds "icc_profile" key support in [output] sections for backends
headless, x11, wayland, and drm, and also for remoted and pipewire
outputs FWIW. On the other hand, RDP-backend does not use output
sections from weston.ini, and fbdev-backend does not deserve anything
new (it wouldn't support color management anyway due to no GL-renderer).
This allows one to configure an ICC v2 or v4 file to be used as an
output profile. However, color-lcms does not actually use output
profiles yet, so trying this will fail until support is implemented.
The parent_winsys_profile argument is reserved for using the color
profile from a parent window system where applicable, if nothing else is
set in weston.ini. None of the nested backends provide an output color
profile yet. It is more of a reminder of a missing feature than a
serious implementation.
Note: cms-static Weston plugin uses the exact same weston.ini key for
loading VCGT from ICC profiles. If "color-management" option is set to
false, this new use of "icc_profile" is disabled and the old behavior
with cms-static is kept.

This adds an output section option use-renderer-shadow in weston.ini.
This option is only recognized with headless and DRM backends, because
it requires GL-renderer and does not support resizing outputs.
The option is called use-renderer-shadow because this is what it does
right now. In the future the same setting will be used to turn on more
complex image processing when operational pieces required for color
management land. Once color management is implemented, this option is
expected to be removed. This option allows developer testing of features
to be used to implement color management.
This is a rewrite of "weston.ini: introduce use-shadow-fbo in output

kiosk-shell is fullscreen shell for apps that use the xdg-shell

proliferation of desktop-shell hacks.
Top level surfaces are made fullscreen, whereas dialogs are placed on
top in the center of the output and retain their natural sizes. Dialogs
can be moved and (un)maximized, but resizing is currently not supported.
An app can be directed to a particular output by populating the
"app-ids" field with the app's XDG app id, in the relevant
"[output]" section in the weston config file.

It was discovered in issue #99 that the implementations of the 90 and 270
degree rotations were actually the inverse of what the Wayland specification
spelled out. This patch fixes the libweston implementation to follow the
specification.
As a result, the behaviour of the the weston.ini transform key also changes. To
force all users to re-think their configuration, the transform key values are
also changed. Since Weston and libweston change their behaviour, the handling
of clients' buffer transform changes too.
All the functions had their 90/270 cases simply swapped, probably due to
confusion of whether WL_OUTPUT_TRANSFORM_* refers to rotating the monitor or
the content.
Hint: a key to understanding weston_matrix_rotate_xy(m, c, s) is that the
rotation matrix is formed as
c -s
s c
that is, it's column-major. This fooled me at first.
Fixing window.c fixes weston-terminal and weston-transformed.
In simple-damage, window_get_transformed_ball() is fixed to follow the proper
transform definitions, but the fix to the viewport path in redraw() is purely
mechanical. The viewport path looks broken to me in the presence of any
transform, but it is not this patch's job to fix it.
Screen-share fix just repeats the general code fix pattern, I did not even try
to understand that bit.

This is so that, for instance, people using weston as their main Wayland
compositor can invert the sense of two finger scrolling or change
pointer acceleration using weston.ini, rather than having to edit C
code.
All of the options that libinput itself exposes through its API are now
exposed in weston.ini. The new options are called `tap-and-drag`,
`tap-and-drag-lock`, `disable-while-typing`, `middle-emulation`,
`left-handed`, `rotation`, `accel-profile`, `accel-speed`,
`scroll-method`, `natural-scroll`, and `scroll-button`. I have
successfully tested everything except for `rotation`, out of a lack of
hardware support.
weston now depends directly on libevdev for turning button name strings into
kernel input codes. This was needed for the `scroll-button` config
option. (weston already depends indirectly on libevdev through
libinput, so I figured people would be OK with this.) As a practical
matter for debian-style packagers, weston now has a build dependency on
libevdev-dev.
Right now, the code applies the same options to all attached devices
that a given option is relevant for. There are plans for multiple
[libinput] sections, each with different device filters, for users who
need more control here.

But it's also technically a security vulnerability: if I launch it from

Weston will not repaint until previous update has been acked by a
pageflip event coming from the drm driver. However, some buggy drivers
won’t return those events or will stop sending them at some point and
Weston output repaints will completely freeze. To ease developers’ task
in testing their drivers, this patch makes compositor-drm use a timer
to detect cases where those pageflip events stop coming.
This timeout implementation is software only and includes basic
features usually found in a watchdog. We simply exit Weston gracefully
with a log message and an exit code when the timout is reached.
The timeout value can be set via weston.ini by adding a
pageflip-timeout=<MILLISECONDS> entry under [core]
section. Setting it to 0 disables the timeout feature.
v2:
- Made sure we would get both the pageflip and the vblank events before
stopping the timer.
- Reordered the error and success cases in
drm_output_pageflip_timer_create() to be more in line with the rest
of the code.
v3:
- Reordered (de)arming of the timer with the code around it to avoid it
being rearmed before the current dearming.
- Return the proper value for the dispatcher in the pageflip_timeout
callback.
- Also display the output name in case the timer fires.
v4:
- Reordered a forgotten timer rearming after its drmModePageFlip().

This patch completely removes the Raspberry Pi backend and the renderer.
The backend and the renderer were written to use the proprietary
DispmanX API available only on the Raspberry Pi, to demonstrate what the
tiny computer is capable of graphics wise. They were also used to
demonstrate how Wayland and Weston in particular could leverage hardware
compositing capabilities that are not OpenGL. The backend was first
added in e8de35c922, in 2012.
Since then, the major point has been proven. Over time, support for the
rpi-backend diminished, it started to deteriorate and hinder Weston
development. On May 11, I tried to ask if anyone actually cared about
the rpi-backend, but did not get any votes for keeping it:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2016-May/028764.html
The rpi-backend is a good example of how using an API that is only
available for specific hardware, even more so as it is only available
with a proprietary driver stack, is not maintainable in the long run.
Most developers working on Weston either just cannot, or cannot bother
to test things also on the RPi. Breakage creeps in without anyone
noticing. If someone actually notices it, fixing it will require a very
specific environment to be able to test. Also the quality of the
proprietary implementation fluctuated. There are reports that RPi
firmware updates randomly broke Weston, and that nowadays it is very
hard to find a RPi firmware version that you could expect to work with
Weston if Weston itself was not broken. We are not even sure what is
broken nowadays.
This removal does not leave Raspberry Pi users cold (for long), though.
There is serious work going on in implementing a FOSS driver stack for
Raspberry Pi, including modern kernel DRM drivers and Mesa drivers. It
might not be fully there yet, but the plan is to be able to use the
standard DRM-backend of Weston on the RPis. See:
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/VC4/
The rpi-backend had its moments. Now, it needs to go. Good riddance!
