Add accurate presentation timing features to Wayland: queueing and
feedback.
This specification is based on the draft written by Frederic Plourde
<frederic.plourde@collabora.co.uk> and redesigned by Pekka Paalanen.
The RFC v2 version is from
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2014-January/012988.html
Changes in v3:
* associate presentation time to current surface contents
This implements the suggestion from
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2014-February/013066.html
which prevents surface content from jumping backwards in time if a
client retroactively queues an update with a target time in the past.
* use 64-bit tv_sec in presentation
The time_t type used in struct timespec could be almost anything. POSIX
probably defines it to be an integer, but not the size. Apparently it is
usually 'long', which makes it 64-bit on x86_64.
To be able to fully represent timespec values returned by clock_gettime,
change the protocol to use 64 bits for the tv_sec part.
* define an error for invalid tv_nsec
This allow us to rely on the normalized timestamp form.
* define some interactions with sub-surfaces
Sub-surface cached state updates (synchronized mode) are designed
especially for resizing. As queued updates are not meant to produce any
resizing-like effects, they also do not trigger any sub-surface
operations.
* add sub-headings as xml comments
* queued update cannot map
Because before mapping, the surface has no main output assigned. An
immediate commit is needed anyway, to be able to set all the surface
state, which a queued update cannot touch.
* frame callbacks are not queued
It is not known when queueing frame callbacks would be useful.
Changes in v4:
* remove mentions of the queuing feature
The specification has been split and the queuing feature will be added
back in another version of the extension.
* add flags argument to 'presented' event
Describe the nature of how the update was presented to screen and the
characteristics of the feedback information. No flags have been
defined for now.
* add a protocol error code for invalid flags
Changes in v5:
* remove the destroy method for the feedback object
The protocol object should instead be automatically destroyed after
a 'presented' or 'discarded' event has been triggered.
* some grammatical corrections to the specification

The experimental versioning has not been updated when it was supposed
to. Let's try to be better at it now, as xdg-shell is close to have its
first stable version.
Bump the version now to bring the world into the same exact version.
There may be some protocol changes still coming, but we try to land them
before 1.6 gets out. Those changes will bump the experimental version
again as needed.
When 1.6.0 is released, the experimental version will no longer be
bumped, and no incompatible protocol changes will be made. Xdg-shell.xml
file will move to Wayland in 1.7.0, drop the experimental versioning,
and become stable.

Panels are always assumed to be on the top edge of the output. If this
is not the case views will be placed under the panel, wherever it is,
and maximize doesn't use the correct space allocated for views.
By telling the server on which edge the panel is located, it can
correctly calculate where to put new views and how big maximized views
should be.

Currently, there is a fun flicker when toggling maximization or
fullscreen on a window in mutter or more sophisicated compositors
and WMs.
What happens is that the client want so go maximized, so we
calculate the size that we want the window to resize to (640x480),
and then add on its margins to find the buffer size (+10 = 660x500),
and then send out a configure event for that size. The client
renders to that size, realizes that it's maximized, and then
says "oh hey, my margins are actually 0 now!", and so the compositor
has to send out another configure event.
In order to fix this, make the the configure request correspond to
the window geometry we'd like the window to be at. At the same time,
replace set_margin with set_window_geometry, where we specify a rect
rather than a border around the window.
Currently, there's a race condition. When resizing from the left, and
a client attaches a buffer after the resize ends, you suddenly see the
buffer jump to the right, because the resize ended while multiple
attaches were in-flight. Making resize a state can fix this, as the
server can now know exactly when the resize ended, and whether a commit
was before or after that place.
We don't implement the correct tracking in this commit; that's left as
an exercise to the reader.
Additionally, clients like terminals might want to display resize popups
to display the number of cells when in a resize. They can use the hint
here to figure out whether they are resizing.
The states system, so far, has been a complicated mix of weird APIs
that solved a real race condition, but have been particularly ugly
for both compositors and clients to implement.
It's a confusing name that comes from the ICCCM. The ICCCM is best
forgotten about.
With the addition of the potential new "transient" role meaning a
parent-relative toplevel like a long-lived popup, used for e.g.
tooltips, the set_transient_for name will become even more confusing.
There was a bug in wayland-scanner that failed to detect when an
message with implicitly set version (i.e. version 1) came after a
message with a newer version. This patch fixes the weston desktop shell
protocol to pass again.

Let's make the source and destination size rules consistent: neither can
have zero, {-1, -1} disables it, and other negatives are not allowed.
The sanity of allowing zero sized source rectangle as debatable. Now the
minimum becomes 1/256x1/256, and with output_scale the actual samples
may be even smaller. That should be enough.
On not allowed values, raise a protocol error. This should help catch
bugs in clients that accidentally send garbage values.
The old wl_viewport.set request remains the same, and can still produce
zero sized source rectangle.

'close' is more consistent with the purpose of the event than
'delete', and it is also c++ friendly, since 'delete' is a keyword.

Bump wl_scaler and wl_viewport versions to 2. Add new requests
wl_viewport.set_source and .set_destination, which are meant to replace
wl_viewport.set request.
Now a client can set and unset just one of source rectangle and
destination size. Define the semantics when one of these is unset.
Implement these semantics changes in compositor and pixman renderer.
GL-renderer does not need changes.

Rather than require that the client implement two methods for every state,
simply have one global request, change_state, and one global event,
request_change_state.
Use a static assert to catch mismatch between implementation and
interface version. Fix window.c to not use XDG_SHELL_VERSION_CURRENT,
which will fail to catch version mismatches. The implementation version
must updated manually when the implementation is updated to use the new
interface.
Responsivenes is a per-client thing so we move the ping/pong functionality
to xdg_shell. Having this per-window was carries over from the EWMH
protocol, where the WM has no other way to do this. In wayland, the
compositor can directly ping the client that owns the surface.
This is used to figure out the size of "invisible" decorations, which we'll
use to better know the visible extents of the surface, which we can use for
constraining, titlebars, and more.
This is equivalent to WM_DELETE_WINDOW request under X11, or equivalent
to pressing the "close" button under CSD. Weston currently doesn't have
a compositor-side way to close the window, so no new code is needed on
its side.
This seems like a better name, and will not conflict if someone later
extends wl_surface with a request scaler_set (yeah, unlikely).
This code was written by Jonny Lamb, I just diffed his branches and made
a patch for Weston.

Add cropping and scaling to wl_surface.
Add a global factory interface wl_scaler, which creates
wl_scaler_surface objects tied to a given wl_surface. The
wl_scaler_surface object can be used to set a cropping and scaling
transformation to change how a wl_buffer maps to wl_surface contents.
Changes in v2:
Take into account buffer_transform and buffer_scale, and try to explain
more clearly how the coordinate transformations work and what their
order is. Add, that crop and scale state is double-buffered. Explain
missing dst_x, dst_y. Clarify that undefined content still is some
content, but NULL buffer implies no content nor size.
Changes in v3:
Disallow zero values for dst_width and dst_height.
Open issues:
Should this be a separate interface like here, or just a wl_surface
request?
If we keep this as a separate interface, rename wl_surface_scaler to
wl_viewport.
This adds a test that tries to simulate a simple game loop that would
be like this:
while (1) {
draw_something();
eglSwapBuffers();
}
In this case the test is relying on eglSwapBuffers to throttle to a
sensible frame rate.
The test then verifies that only 2 EGL buffers are used. This is done
via a new request and event in the wayland-test protocol.
Currently this causes 3 buffers to be created because the release
event generated by the swap buffers is not processed by Mesa until it
blocks for the frame complete event in the next swap buffers call, but
that is too late.
This can be fixed in Mesa by issuing a sync request after the swap
buffers and blocking on it before deciding whether to allocate a new
buffer.
The tablet-shell is unmaintained and unused. It is currently
dead-weight and a burden when we make changes to weston. Let's
drop it for now, we can pull it out of git if we find a need for it later.
xdg_shell is a protocol aimed to substitute wl_shell in the long term,
but will not be part of the wayland core protocol. It starts as a
non-stable API, aimed to be used as a development place at first, and
once features are defined as required by several desktop shells, we can
finally make it stable.
It provides mainly two new interfaces: xdg_surface and xdg_popup.
The xdg_surface interface implements a desktop-style window, that can be
moved, resized, maximized, etc. It provides a request for creating
child/parent relationship, called xdg_surface.set_transient_for.
The xdg_popup interface implements a desktop-style popup/menu. A
xdg_popup is always transient for another surface, and also has implicit
grab.
This reverts commit 2396aec684.
This exact version of the sub-surface protocol has been copied into
Wayland core. Therefore it must be removed from here to avoid build
conflicts and useless duplication.
No other changes to sub-surface protocol consumers are needed, the
identical API is now offered by libwayland-client and libwayland-server.

On Raspberry Pi, weston-desktop-shell is so slow to start, that the
compositor has time to run the fade-in before the wallpaper is up. The
user launching Weston sees the screen flipping to black, the fbcon
fading in, and then the desktop popping up.
To fix this, wait for the weston-desktop-shell to draw
everything before starting the initial fade-in. A new request is
added to the private desktop-shell protocol to signal it. If a
desktop-shell client does not support the new request, the fade-in
happens already at bind time.
If weston-desktop-shell crashes, or does not send the 'desktop_ready'
request in 15 seconds, the compositor will fade in anyway. This should
avoid a blocked screen in case weston-desktop-shell malfunction.
shell_fade_startup() does not directly start the fade-in but schedules
an idle callback, so that the compositor can process all pending events
before starting the fade clock. Otherwise (on RPi) we risk skipping part
of the animation. Yes, it is a hack, that should have been done in
window.c and weston-desktop-shell instead.

wl_subsurface.set_desync should apply the cached wl_surface state.
Otherwise, the sub-surface may be stuck: a commit on the parent surface,
if desynchronized, will not commit the sub-surface because it is
desynchronized, too. A commit on the sub-surface may not happen, if it
is waiting for the frame callback from the previous commit.

Add protocol for sub-surfaces, wl_subcompositor as the global interface,
and wl_subsurface as the per-surface interface extension.
This patch is meant to be reverted, once sub-surfaces are moved into
Wayland core.
Changes in v2:
- Rewrite wl_subcompositor.get_subsurface description, and move mapping
and commit details into wl_subsurface description. Check the wording
in wl_subsurface.set_position description.
- Add wl_subsurface.set_commit_mode request, and document it, with the
commit_mode enum. Add bad_value error code for wl_subsurface.
- Moved the protocol into Weston repository so we can land it upstream
sooner for public exposure. It is to be moved into Wayland core later.
- Add destroy requests to both wl_subcompositor and wl_subsurface, and
document them. Experience has showed, that interfaces should always
have a destructor unless there is a good and future-proof reason to not
have it.
Changes in v3:
- Specify, that wl_subsurface will become inert, if the corresponding
wl_surface is destroyed, instead of requiring a certain destruction
order.
- Replaced wl_subsurface.set_commit_mode with wl_subsurface.set_sync and
wl_subsurface.set_desync. Parent-cached commit mode is now called
synchronized, and independent mode is desynchronized. Removed
commit_mode enum, and bad_value error.
- Added support for nested sub-surfaces.
