This patch adds information about the new resolution-format that can
be specified by a user in weston.ini to select a CEA mode. CEA defines
timing of a video mode, which is considered as a standard for
HDMI certification and compliance testing. It defines each and every
parameter, of a video mode, like h/vactive,h/vfront h/vback etc.,
including aspect-ratio information. The drm layer, specifies the
aspect-ratio information in user-mode flag bits 19-22. For the non-CEA
modes a value of 0 is given in the aspect-ratio flag bits. Each
CEA-mode is identified by a unique, Video Identification Code (VIC).
For example, VIC=4 is 1280x720@60 aspect-ratio 16:9.
This mode will be different than a non-CEA mode 1280x720@60 0:0.
The new mode-format helps to differentiate between the CEA and
non-CEA modes, by letting user specify aspect-ratio along with other
paremeters: mode=widthxheight@rr ratio.
This helps when certification testing is done, in tests like 7-27,
the HDMI analyzer applies a particular CEA mode, and expects the
applied mode to be with exactly same timings, including the
aspect-ratio and VIC field.

Add a new output section key "same-as" for configuring clone mode. An
output marked "same-as" another output will be configured identically to
the other output.
The current implementation supports only CRTC sharing for clone mode.
Independent CRTC clone mode cannot be supported until output layout
logic is moved from libweston into the frontend and libweston's damage
tracking issues stemming from overlapping outputs are solved.
Quite a lot of infrastructure is needed to properly configure clone
mode. The implemented logic allows easy addition of independent CRTC
clone mode once libweston supports it. The idea is that wet_layoutput is
the item to be laid out and all weston_outputs a wet_layoutput
contains show exactly the same area of the desktop.
The configuration logic attempts to automatically fall back to creating
more weston_outputs when all heads do not work under the same
weston_output. For now, the fallback path ends with an error message.
Enabling a weston_output is bit complicated, because one needs to first
collect all relevant heads, try to attach them all to the weston_output,
and then back up head by head until enabling the weston_output succeeds.
A new weston_output is created for the left-over heads and the process
is repeated.
CRTC-sharing clone mode is the most efficient clone mode, offering
synchronized scanout timings, but it is not always supported by
hardware.

Catching an ABRT is kind of ok, catching a SEGV is russian roulette. We
have been quite lucky with it, but I've started hitting crashes inside
malloc() which causes a deadlock when our SEGV handler needs to malloc()
as well (weston_log_timestamp()).
One reason to catch SEGV and ABRT was to attempt to restore the VT on
the DRM-backend. Nowadays that job is done by logind or weston-launch.
The signal handler also printed a backtrace, which for me personally has
been extremely helpful. Arguably it's not necessary though, when we have
core files and services that catch cores. For instance, if using
systemd, 'coredumpctl gdb' is delightfully easy for getting into the
saved core.
Therefore, this code does more harm than it is useful, so remove it. We
also drop an optional dependency to libunwind.

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.

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!

This timer delays the output_repaint towards the end of the refresh
period, reducing the time from repaint to present.
The length of the repaint window can be set in weston.ini.
The call to weston_output_schedule_repaint_reset() is delayed by one
more period. If we exit the continuous repaint loop (set
output->repaint_scheduled to false) in finish_frame, we may call
start_repaint_loop() unnecessarily. The problem case was actually
observed with two outputs on the DRM backend at 60 Hz, and 7 ms
repaint-window. During a window move, one output was constantly falling
off the continuous repaint loop and introducing additional one frame
latency, leading to jerky window motion. This code now avoids the
problem.
Changes in v2:
- Rename repaint_delay_timer to repaint_timer and
output_repaint_delay_handler to output_repaint_timer_handler.
- When computing the delay, take the current time into account. The timer
uses a relative timeout, so we have to subtract any time already gone.
Note, that 'gone' may also be negative. DRM has a habit of predicting
the page flip timestamp so it may be still in the future when we get the
completion event.
- Do also a sanity check 'msec > 1000'. In the unlikely case that
something fails to provide a good timestamp, never delay for more than
one second.
