The time spent loading EGL and GLES libraries from disk can be a
considerable hit in some embedded use cases. If Weston is compiled
with EGL support, the binary will depend on those libraries, even if
a software renderer is in use.
This patch splits the GL renderer into a separate loadable module,
and moves the dependency on EGL and GLES to it. The backends still
need the EGL headers for the native types and EGLint. The function
load_module() is renamed to weston_load_module() and exported, so
that it can be used by the backends.
The gl renderer interface is changed so that there is only one symbol
that needs to be dlsym()'d. This symbol contains pointers to all the
functions and data necessary to interact with the renderer. As a side
effect, this change simplifies gl-renderer.h a great deal.
The struct weston_launcher object will now either handle tty and vt switching
details in-process (when running weston directly as root) or talk to
the weston-launch process.
This patch adds a feature to the DRM backend that uses libva for
encoding the screen contents in H.264. Screen recording can be
activated by pressing mod-shift-space q. A file named capture.h264
will be created in the current directory, which can be muxed into
an MP4 file with gstreamer using
gst-launch filesrc location=capture.h264 ! h264parse ! mp4mux ! \
filesink location=file.mp4
This is limitted to the DRM compositor in order to avoid a copy when
submitting the front buffer to libva. The code in vaapi-recorder.c
takes a dma_buf fd referencing it, does a colorspace conversion using
the video post processing pipeline and then uses that as input to the
encoder.
I'm sending this now so I get comments, but this is not ready for
prime time yet. I have a somewhat consistent GPU hang when using
i915 with SandyBridge. Sometimes a page flip never completes. If you
want to try this anyway and your system get stuck, you might need to
run the following:
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_wedged
After that, alt-sysrq [rv] should work.
Once that's fixed it would also be good to make the parameters used by
the encoder more flexible. For now the QP parameter is hardcoded to 0
and we have only I and P frames (no B frames), which causes the
resulting files to be very large.
The weston_spring is a very flexible and powerful mecanhism for driving
animations. However, it can be a little difficult to tame, but this
little helper can plot the response of the spring to a set of initial
parameters and makes it easy to tune and tweak the spring behavior.
Dispmanx is the prorietary display API on the Raspberry Pi, which
provides hardware compositing. Every visible surface is assigned a
Dispmanx element, and the hardware or firmware will do all compositing
onto screen. The API supports translation, scaling, flips, discrete
rotations in 90-degree steps, alpha channel on the surfaces, and
full-surface alpha on top.
Previously, Dispmanx capabilities were used via the weston_plane
mechanism, where surfaces were assigned to planes when possible, and
otherwise transparently falling back to GLESv2 compositing. Because we
have no way to use the same memory buffer as a GL texture and a Dispmanx
resource, we had to prepare for both. In the worst case, that means one GL
texture, and two (double-buffered case) Dispmanx resources, all the size
of a whole surface, for all surfaces. This was eating memory fast. To
make things worse (and less slow), the wl_shm buffer was kept around,
since it was copied to either a texture or a resource as needed. This
caused all clients to need two buffers. In a Dispmanx-only renderer, we
can drop the GL texture, and we can release wl_shm buffer immediately
after the first copy, so clients become effectively single-buffered. So
from the worst case of 5 buffers per surface, we go down to 3 or just
2 (single-buffered Dispmanx element, one wl_shm buffer in the client)
buffers per surface.
As this will replace the GL renderer on rpi, we cannot fall back to the
GLESv2 compositing anymore. We lose arbitrary surface rotation, but we
lose also the GL fallback, which caused glitches.
This patch depends on new RaspberryPi firmware. Older firmware may not
render ARGB surfaces correctly, solid color surfaces maybe cause a
performance hit, and the output may completely fail in case the firmware
does not fall back internal off-line compositing properly as needed.
This new rpi-renderer support surface translation and scaling, but not
rotation or transpose (not even in 90-deg steps). In theory, 90-deg step
surface rotation is possible to support. Output transformations are
supported, but flipped variants do not seem to work right.
As a detail, menus and other surfaces that are simply translated with
respect to another surface caused falling back to the GL renderer. The
rpi-renderer handles them directly.
This patch only adds the new renderer, but does not hook it up into use.

The function drm_output_start_repaint_loop() unconditionally issues a
page flip, even if the crtc for that output has not been enabled yet.
That causes the page flip to fail, and drm_output_repaint() is never
called.
Solve this by bypassing the initial page flip if the output needs a
mode set.
This has the caveat of affecting latency predictability for that first
frame and when a "driver" mode fullscreen surface causes a mode set.
However, on both cases the mode set would take an unpredictable amount
of time anyway.

This allows users to change the assigned display profile in GNOME (using
gnome-control-center) or KDE (using colord-kde) and also allows the profiling
tools to correctly inhibit the calibration state whilst measuring the native
screen response.
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.

This patch installs the three header files that define the compositor
plugin interface as well as a pkg-config file. This allows
building weston plugins outside the weston tree. We currently don't make
any guarantees about the plugin API/ABI except that within a stable
branch we won't break it.
libunwind has a dwarf parser and automatically queries the dlinfo
for location of dlopened modules. The resulting backtrace is much
better and includes stack frames in dynamically loaded modules.

Note this require libunwind at least 1.1 to get the pkg-config files.

Add a frame buffer backend using pixman to render to fbdev.
This has been tested against nouveaufb but nothing else. Much of the code
came straight from the rpi backend (and copyright has been attributed
accordingly).
The behaviour of this backend on less modern frame buffers has yet to be
tested.
The refresh rate is calculated from the frame buffer's metadata. Every frame
is finished in synchrony with the refresh rate.
Frame buffer devices are currently specified on the command line (or using
the default of /dev/fb0); udev could be used in future to enumerate them.
pixman is used for compositing, and a suitable pixman format is built from
the frame buffer's metadata. This doesn't support the full range of
frame buffer formats, but does support varying BPPs of RGBA and ARGB. That
should be enough for now.
The following are not currently supported:
• FOURCC
• Non-packed formats (interleaved, planes, etc.)
• Non-true-colour formats (monochrome, greyscale, etc.)
• Big-endian formats (with component MSBs on the right)
• Non-RGBA and non-ARGB formats

The Android backend has been fairly unused, since we do not have
projects actively using it. It gets basic build testing as part of the
normal build, but runtime testing it takes a considerable effort, and so
I have not done that in a long time. The code is slowly rotting, and
with new emerging backends it starts to be a burden, since it cannot use
udev, but needs evdev.
Therefore to ease Weston going forward, remove the Android backend. If
someone misses it, it can still be found in the stable 1.0 branch, and
of course resurrected from git history if someone wants to put in the
effort and maintain it.

We want to make sure that the matrix symbols are exported from weston and
that modules get them from there. To do that, we pull matrix.[ch] out of
libshared and back into weston. calibrator now also links to matrix.[ch]
and we add a IN_WESTON define to enable the WL_EXPORT macro when compiled
inside weston.

We were pulling in cairo and the image loading libraries through libshared.
Split out libshared into a core libshared and a libshared-cairo that
pulls in the extra libraries.
Add a new backend for the Raspberry Pi.
This backend uses the DispmanX API to initialise the display, and create
an EGLSurface, so that GLESv2 rendering is shown on the "framebuffer".
No X server is involved. All compositing happens through GLESv2.
The created EGLSurface is specifically configured as buffer content
preserving, otherwise Weston wouuld show only the latest damage and
everything else was black. This may be sub-optimal, since we are not
alternating between two buffers, like the DRM backend is, and content
preserving may imply a fullscreen copy on each frame.
Page flips are not properly hooked up yet. The display update will
block, and we use a timer to call weston_output_finish_frame(), just
like the x11 backend does.
This backend handles the VT and tty just like the DRM backend does.
While VT switching works in theory, the display output seems to be
frozen while switched away from Weston. You can still switch back.
Seats and connectors cannot be explicitly specified, and multiple seats
are not expected.
Udev is used to find the input devices. Input devices are opened
directly, weston-launch is not supported at this time. You may need to
confirm that your pi user has access to input device nodes.
The Raspberry Pi backend is built by default. It can be build-tested
without the Raspberry Pi headers and libraries, because we provide stubs
in rpi-bcm-stubs.h, but such resulting binary is non-functional. If
using stubs, the backend is built but not installed.
VT and tty handling, and udev related code are pretty much copied from
the DRM backend, hence the copyrights. The rpi-bcm-stubs.h code is
copied from the headers on Raspberry Pi, including their copyright
notice, and modified.

Add a headless backend and a noop renderer, mainly for testing
purposes. Although no rendering is performed with this backend,
this allow some of the code paths inside Weston and shm clients
to be tested without any windowing system or any need for drm
access.
It makes sense to split the interfaces in a text and a input-method
protocol for now (only the text protocol needs to be used in toolkits).

We move the EGL and GLES2 output repaint code into a new gles2-render.c
file. The eglMakeCurrent, glViewPort, surface loop etc was duplicated
across all backends, but this patch moves it to a new file.
The workspace manager interface purpose is to provide clients with
control and knowledge about the current workspace state. Initially only
one function and one event exists; moving a surface and state updated
event. A workspace is represented as an index in a 1 dimensional array.
A client keeps track of the state by being broadcasted events when the
state changes, currently limited to current workspace or number of
workspaces available.
A client can send an asynchronous request to the manager asking to move
a surface to workspace identified by an index. It is up to the shell to
actually move it.

We don't support this anymore. weston requires a setuid helper (such as
weston-launch) to run under kms, and should never run as root itself.
Disabe the setuid warning in configure.ac since we now only install the
minimal weston-launch as setuid.
