Use the surfaceless platform in the headless backend to initialize the

This paves way for exercising GL-renderer in CI and using the Weston test suite

Depending on system loading, weston-launcher could drop the drm
master access before the compositor and all the clients receive
the notification. In this case, some commit could be sent to the
drm driver too late and get refused with error EACCES.
This error condition is not properly managed and causes weston to
hang.
Change the return type of start_repaint_loop() and repaint_flush()
from void to int, and return 0 on success or -1 if the repaint has
to be cancelled.
In the callers of start_repaint_loop() and repaint_flush() handle
the return value and cancel the repaint when needed.
In backend-drm detect the error EACCES and return -1.
Note: to keep the code cleaner, this change inverts the execution
order between weston_output_schedule_repaint_reset() and
repaint_cancel().
No need to wait for suspend or for any notification; in case the
weston reschedules a repaint, it will get EACCES again.
At resume, damage-all guarantees a complete repaint.
This fix is for atomic modeset only.
Legacy modeset suffers from similar problems, but it is not fixed
by this change. Since drm_pending_state_apply() never returns
error for legacy modeset, this change has no impact on legacy
modeset.

The backend headers are renamed from compositor-foo.h to backend-foo.h to
better describe their purpose. These headers are public libweston API for each
specific backend.

The main idea is to make libweston users use the form
#include <libweston/libweston.h>
instead of the plain
#include <compositor.h>
which is prone to name conflicts. This is reflected both in the installed
files, and the internal header search paths so that Weston would use the exact
same form as an external project using libweston would.
The public headers are moved under a new top-level directory include/ to make
them clearly stand out as special (public API).

Introduce support for the zwp_linux_explicit_synchronization_unstable_v1
protocol with an implementation of the zwp_linux_explicit_synchronization_v1
interface.
Explicit synchronization provides a more versatile notification
mechanism for buffer readiness and availability, and can be used to
improve efficiency by integrating with related functionality in display
and graphics APIs.
In addition, the per-commit nature of the release events provided by
this protocol potentially offers a solution to a deficiency of the
wl_buffer.release event (see
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/issues/46).
Support for this protocol depends on the capabilities of the backend, so
we don't register it by default but provide a function which each
backend will need to call. In this commit only the headless backend when
using the noop renderer supports this to enable testing.
Note that the zwp_surface_synchronization_v1 interface, which contains
the core functionality of the protocol, is not implemented in this
commit. Support for it will be added in future commits.
Changes in v7:
- Added some information in the commit message about the benefits of
the explicit sync protocol.
Changes in v6:
- Fall back to advertising minor version 1 of the explicit sync protocol,
although we support minor version 2 features, until the new
wayland-protocols version is released.
Changes in v5:
- Meson support.
- Advertise minor version 2 of the explicit sync protocol.
Changes in v4:
- Enable explicit sync support in the headless backend for all
renderers.
Changes in v3:
- Use wl_resource_get_version() instead of hardcoding version 1.
- Use updated protocol interface names.
- Use correct format specifier for resource id.
- Change test name to 'linux-explicit-synchronization.weston'
(s/_/-/g).
Changes in v2:
- Move implementation to separate file so protocol can be registered
on demand by backends.
- Register protocol in headless+noop backend for testing purposes.

Add a flag to pixman-renderer for initializing the output with a shadow
framebuffer. All backends were getting the shadow implcitly, so all
backends are modified to ask for the shadow explicitly.
Using a shadow buffer is usually beneficial, because read-modify-write
cycles (blending) into a scanout-capable buffer may be very slow. The
scanout framebuffer may also have reduced color depth, making blending
and read-back produce inferior results.
In some use cases though the shadow buffer might be just an extra copy
hurting more than it helps. Whether it helps or hurts depends on the
platform and the workload. Therefore let the backends control whether
pixman-renderer uses a shadow buffer for an output or not.

In order to support clone modes, libweston needs the concept of a head
that is separate from weston_output. While weston_output manages buffers
and the repaint state machine, weston_head will represent a single
monitor. In the future it will be possible to have a single
weston_output drive one or more weston_heads for a clone mode that
shares the framebuffers between all cloned heads.
All the fields that are obviously properties of the monitor are moved
from weston_output into weston_head.
As moving the fields requires one to touch all the backends for all the
assingments, introduce setter functions for them while we are here. The
setters are identical to the old assignments, for now.
As a temporary measure, weston_output embeds a single head. Also the
ugly casts in weston_head_set_monitor_strings() will be removed by a
follow-up patch.
Libweston major version is bumped, because weston_output struct layout

Change all backends to set the core backend pointer early.
This is necessary for libweston core to be able to access the backend

see if the backend has been converted to a new API. Backends that create

'release' is a more appropriate name because the function does not free

Add 'name' argument to weston_output_init(). This is much more obvious
than the assert inside weston_output_init() to ensure the caller has set
a field in weston_output first.
Now weston_output_init() will strdup() the name itself, which means we
can drop a whole bunch of strdup()s in the backends. This matches
weston_output_destroy() which was already calling free() on the name.
All backends are slightly reordered to call weston_output_init() before
accessing any fields of weston_output, except the Wayland backend which
would make it a little awkward to do it in this patch. Mind, that
weston_output_init() still does not reset the struct to zero - it is

Initialize the list in weston_output_init() instead of doing it

One would expect weston_output_init() to initialize all weston_output
members, at least those that are not NULL.
We rely on the set_size() functions to be called only once, as is
assert()'d. If set_size() becomes callable multiple times, this patch
will force them to be fixed to properly manage the mode list instead of
losing all members.
compositor-wayland.c is strange in
wayland_output_create_for_parent_output(): it first called
wayland_output_set_size() that initialized the mode list with a single
mode manufactured from width and height and set that mode as current.
Then it continued to reset the mode list and adding the list of modes
from the parent output, leaving the current mode left to point to a mode
struct that is no longer in the mode list and with a broken 'link'
element. This patch changes things such that the manufactured mode is
left in the list, and the parent mode list is added. This is probably
not quite right either.

This is a complete port of the headless backend that
uses the recently added output handling API for output
configuration.
- Output can be configured at runtime by passing the
necessary configuration parameters, which can be
filled in manually, obtained from the configuration
file or obtained from the command line using
previously added functionality. It is required that
the scale and transform values are set using the
previously added functionality.
- Output can be created at runtime using the output
API. The output creation only creates a pending
output, which needs to be configured the same way as
mentioned above.
After everything has been set, output needs to be
enabled manually using weston_output_enable().
Same as before, a single output is created at runtime
using the default configuration or a configuration
parsed from the command line. The no-outputs
functionality is also preserved, which means that no
output will be created initially, but more outputs can
be added at runtime using the output API.
New feature:
This patch also adds, as a bonus of using shared
functionality, support for setting options for outputs
created by this backend in the weston config file in
addition to setting them from the command line.
v2:
- Fix wet_configure_windowed_output_from_config() usage.
- Call headless_output_disable() explicitly from

require width and height.
- Disallow calling headless_output_configure more than once.
- Remove unneeded checks for output->name == NULL as that

This caused problems when creating a new view in a listener to that signal,

Reading the presentation clock is never supposed to fail, but if it

This prepares for new testing features in the future that might allow

All presentation clock readers are converted to call this new function
except rpi-backend's rpi_flippipe_update_complete(), because it gets its

Change weston_output_finish_frame() signature so that backends are

that vary per wl_surface are subject for the following patch.
All start_repaint_loop functions use the special private flag
PRESENTATION_FEEDBACK_INVALID to mark, that this call of
weston_output_finish_frame() cannot trigger the 'presented' event. If it
does, we now hit an assert, and should then investigate why a fake update
triggered Presentation feedback.
DRM:
Page flip is always vsync'd, and always gets the completion timestamp
from the kernel which should correspond well to hardware. Completion is
triggered by the kernel/hardware.
Vblank handler is only used with the broken planes path, therefore do
not report VSYNC, because we cannot guarantee all the planes updated at
the same time. We cannot set the INVALID, because it would abort the
compositor if the broken planes path was ever used. This is a hack that
will get fixed with nuclear pageflip support in the future.
fbdev:
No vsync, update done by copy, no completion event from hardware, and
completion time is totally fake.
headless:
No real output to update.
RDP:
Guessing that maybe no vsync, fake time, and copy make sense (pixels
sent over network). Also no event that the pixels have been shown?
RPI:
Presumably Dispmanx updates are vsync'd. We get a completion event from
the driver, but need to read the clock ourselves, so the completion time
is somewhat unreliable. Zero-copy flag not implemented though it would
be theoretically possible with EGL clients (zero-copy is a per-surface
flag anyway, so in this patch).
Wayland:
No information how the host compositor is doing updates, so make a safe
guess without assuming vsync or hardware completion event. While we do
get some timestamp from the host compositor, it is not the completion
time. Would need to hook to the Presentation extension of the host
compositor to get more accurate flags.
X11:
No idea about vsync, completion event, or copying. Also the timestamp is
a fake.

The DRM backend already queried the DRM about the clock id, just let the

Currently we destroy the renderer before the outputs are destroyed, but
that sometimes leads to an error since a reference to the renderer is
necessary in order to destroy a gl_renderer_output.
Since destroying the renderer is common among all backends, just move
that call into weston_compositor_shutdown() immediately after the
outputs being destroyed.
If we are about to finish a frame, but a redraw is pending and we let the
compositor redraw, we need to check for errors. If the redraw fails and
the backend cannot schedule a page-flip, we need to finish the frame,
anyway.
All backends except DRM use a timer to schedule frames. Hence, they cannot
fail. But for DRM, we need to be able to handle drmModePageFlip() failures
in case access got revoked.
This fixes a bug where logind+drm caused keyboard input to be missed as we
didn't reenable it after a failed page-flip during deactivation.
This patch implements the notification of clients during mode_switch.
As discussed on IRC, clients are notified of mode_switch only when the
"native" mode is changed and activated. That means that if the native
mode is changed and the compositor had activated a temporary mode for
a fullscreen surface, the clients will be notified only when the native
mode is restored.
The scaling factor is treated the same way as modes.
