Previously, gsd-color handled adding color devices. It got information
about those via the GnomeRR API, which is part of libgnome-desktop.
libgnome-desktop itself got this information from the
org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig.GetResources() D-Bus method, implemented
by mutter.
Now, mutter itself will add all the monitor color devices itself,
without having to go via gsd-color.
We sometimes need to delete colord devices synchronously, in certain
race conditions when we add and remove devices very quickly (e.g. in
tests). However, we cannot use libcolord's 'sync' API variants, as it
has a nested takes-all main loop as a way to invoke the sync call. This
effectively means we end up sometimes not return from this function in a
timely manner, causing wierd issues.
Instead, create our own sync helper, that uses a separate context that
we temporarly push as the thread-default one.

Create a color manager type that eventually will be the high level
manager of color related behavior, such as ICC profiles and
color "temperature" a.k.a. night light.
For now, it's only an empty shell. It's also constructed by the actual
backend, as at a later point, the X11 and native color management
implementations will differ.

The "single pixel buffer" Wayland protocol extension provides a way for
clients to create 1x1 buffers with a single color, specified by
providing the color channels (red, green and blue) as well as the
alpha channel as a 32 bit unsigned integer.
For now, this is turned into a 1x1 texture. Future potential
improvements is to hook things up to the scanout candidate logic and
turn it into a scanout capable DMA buffer.

This class is meant to hold logic specific to the native backend
in the context of a MetaCompositorView.
Its addition requires making MetaCompositorView inheritable, and an
addition of a virtual function which allows each compositor to create
its own MetaCompositorView instance.
In the case of the MetaCompositorNative, a MetaCompositorViewNative
is created. In all other cases, a MetaCompositorView is created.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2526>
MetaCompositorView is a class which contains compositor logic
specific to ClutterStageViews.
Each MetaCompositorView is "attached" to a ClutterStageView as an
opaque pointer using g_object_set_qdata_full (), and is freed when
the ClutterStageView is destroyed. This ensures that the lifetime of
the MetaCompositorView can't extend beyond the lifetime of its
ClutterStageView.
In a following commit, MetaCompositorView will be expanded to allow
keeping track of the top MetaWindowActor located on each
ClutterStageView.

The purpose of MetaRenderDevice is to contain the logics related to a

This practically does the same thing as part of MetaLauncher, except

This object takes over the functionality of meta-idle-monitor-dbus.c,
meta-idle-monitor.c and meta-backend.c, all related to higher level
management of idle watches etc.
The idle D-Bus API is changed to be initialized by the backend instead
of MetaDisplay, as it's more of a backend functionality than what
MetaDisplay usually deals with.
It also takes over the work of implementing "core" idle monitors. The
singleton API is replaced with thin wrapper functions on the backend.

The new RecordVirtual API creates a virtual monitor, i.e. a region of
the stage that isn't backed by real monitor hardware. It's intended to
be used by e.g. network screens on active sessions, virtual remote
desktop screens when running headless, and scenarios like that.
A major difference between the current Record* API's is that
RecordVirtual relies on PipeWire itself to negotiate the refresh rate
and size, as it can't rely on any existing monitor, for those details.
This also means that the virtual monitor is not created until the stream
negotiation has finished and a virtual monitor resolution has been
determined.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1698>
Virtual monitors are monitors that isn't backed by any monitor like
hardware. It would typically be backed by e.g. a remote desktop service,
or a network display.
It is currently only supported by the native backend, and whether the
X11 backend will ever see virtual monitors is an open question. This
rest of this commit message describes how it works under the native
backend.
Each virutal monitor consists of virtualized mode setting components:
* A virtual CRTC mode (MetaCrtcModeVirtual)
* A virtual CRTC (MetaCrtcVirtual)
* A virtual connector (MetaOutputVirtual)
In difference to the corresponding mode setting objects that represents
KMS objects, the virtual ones isn't directly tied to a MetaGpu, other
than the CoglFramebuffer being part of the GPU context of the primary
GPU, which is the case for all monitors no matter what GPU they are
connected to. Part of the reason for this is that a MetaGpu in practice
represents a mode setting device, and its CRTCs and outputs, are all
backed by real mode setting objects, while a virtual monitor is only
backed by a framebuffer that is tied to the primary GPU. Maybe this will
be reevaluated in the future, but since a virtual monitor is not tied to
any GPU currently, so is the case for the virtual mode setting objects.
The native rendering backend, including the cursor renderer, is adapted
to handle the situation where a CRTC does not have a GPU associated with
it; this in practice means that it e.g. will not try to upload HW cursor
buffers when the cursor is only on a virtual monitor. The same applies
to the native renderer, which is made to avoid creating
MetaOnscreenNative for views that are backed by virtual CRTCs, as well
as to avoid trying to mode set on such views.

Currently our only entry point for DRM devices is MetaKms*, but in order
to run without being DRM master, we cannot use /dev/dri/card*, nor can
we be either of the existing MetaKmsImplDevice implementation (legacy
KMS, and atomic KMS), as they both depend on being DRM master.
Thus to handle running without being DRM master (i.e. headless), add a
"dummy" MetaKmsImplDevice implementation, that doesn't do any mode
setting at all, and that switches to operate on the render node, instead
of the card node itself.
This means we still use the same GBM code paths as the regular native
backend paths, except we never make use of any CRTC backed onscreen
framebuffers.
Eventually, this "dummy" MetaKmsImplDevice will be replaced separating
"KMS" device objects from "render" device objects, but that will require
more significant changes. It will, however, be necessary for e.g. going
from being headless, only having access to a render node, to turning
into a real session, with a seat, being DRM master, and having access to
a card node.
This is currently not hooked up, but will be in a later commit.

This adds a MetaKmsImplDevice backend using atomic drmMode* API in constrast to
non-atomic legacy drmMode* API used in MetaKmsImplDeviceSimple.
This has various behavioral differences worth noting, compared to the
simple backend:
* We can only commit once per CRTC per page flip.
This means that we can only update the cursor plane once. If a primary
plane composition missed a dead line, we cannot commit only a cursor
update that would be presented earlier.
* Partial success is not possible with the atomic backend.
Cursor planes may fail with the simple backend. This is not the case
with the atomic backend. This will instead later be handled using API
specific to the atomic backend, that will effectively translate into
TEST_ONLY commits.
For testing and debugging purposes, the environment variable
MUTTER_DEBUG_ENABLE_ATOMIC_KMS can be set to either 1 or 0 to
force-enable or force-disable atomic mode setting. Setting it to some
other value will cause mutter to abort().

This is essentially a revert of
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/326. This commit
had the unintended side effect that the built sources are actually
rebuilt for every individual user of libmutter_dep. With there being more
tests and generated files, the number of targets to build is increasing
squarely.
Not doing this reduces the number of targets from 2044 to 874, thus
saving man hours and CI burnt cycles in the long run. There's the slight
risk of reintroducing the random build breaks, but mutter is essentially
doing as suggested at https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1084
(the only difference being addressed in the previous commit), so meson
ought to behave as expected.

Allowing code from inside mutter to create a child process and
delegate on it some of its tasks is something very useful. This can
be done easily with the g_subprocess and g_subprocess_launcher classes
already available in GLib and GObject.
Unfortunately, although the child process can be a graphical program,
currently it is not possible for the inner code to identify the
windows created by the child in a secure manner (this is: being able
to ensure that a malicious program won't be able to trick the inner
code into thinking it is a child process launched by it).
Under X11 this is not a problem because any program has full control
over their windows, but under Wayland it is a different story: a
program can't neither force their window to be kept at the top (like a
docker program does) or at the bottom (like a program for desktop icons
does), nor hide it from the list of windows. This means that it is not
possible for a "classic", non-priviledged program, to fulfill these
tasks, and it can be done only from code inside mutter (like a
gnome-shell extension).
This is a non desirable situation, because an extension runs in the
same main loop than the whole desktop itself, which means that a
complex extension can need to do too much work inside the main loop,
and freeze the whole desktop for too much time. Also, it is important
to note that javascript doesn't have access to fork(), or threads,
which means that, at most, all the parallel computing that can do is
those available in the _async calls in GLib/GObject.
Also, having to create an extension for any priviledged graphical
element is an stopper for a lot of programmers who already know
GTK+ but doesn't know Clutter.
This patch wants to offer a solution to this problem, by offering a
new class that allows to launch a trusted child process from inside
mutter, and make it to use an specific UNIX socket to communicate
with the compositor. It also allows to check whether an specific
MetaWindow was created by one of this trusted child processes or not.
This allows to create extensions that launch a child process, and
when that process creates a window, the extension can confirm in a
secure way that the window really belongs to that process
launched by it, so it can give to that window "superpowers" like
being kept at the bottom of the desktop, not being listed in the
list of windows or shown in the Activities panel... Also, in future
versions, it could easily implement protocol extensions that only
could be used by these trusted child processes.
Several examples of the usefulness of this are that, with it, it
is possible to write programs that implements:
- desktop icons
- a dock
- a top or bottom bar
...
all in a secure manner, avoiding insecure programs to do the same.
In fact, even if the same code is launched manually, it won't have
those privileges, only the specific process launched from inside
mutter.
Since this is only needed under Wayland, it won't work under X11.

Using XDG_CONFIG_HOME allows users to place their keyboard configuration into
their home directory and have them loaded automatically.
libxkbcommon now defaults to XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/ first, see
https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/pull/117
However - libxkbcommon uses secure_getenv() to obtain XDG_CONFIG_HOME and thus
fails to load this for the mutter context which has cap_sys_nice.
We need to manually add that search path as lookup path.
As we can only append paths to libxkbcommon's context, we need to start with
an empty search path set, add our custom path, then append the default search
paths.
The net effect is nil where a user doesn't have XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/.

Add MetaAnonymousFile, an abstraction around anonymous read-only files.
Files can be created by calling meta_anonymous_file_new(), passing the
data of the file. Subsequent calls to meta_anonymous_file_open_fd()
return a fd that's ready to be sent over the socket.
When mapmode is META_ANONYMOUS_FILE_MAPMODE_PRIVATE the fd is only
guaranteed to be mmap-able readonly with MAP_PRIVATE but does not
require duplicating the file for each resource when memfd_create is
available. META_ANONYMOUS_FILE_MAPMODE_SHARED may be used when the
client must be able to map the file with MAP_SHARED but it also means
that the file has to be duplicated even when memfd_create is available.

The split wasn't 100% clean, and some extra private API had to be

Try to bypass compositing if there is a fullscreen toplevel window with
a buffer compatible with the primary plane of the monitor it is
fullscreen on. Only non-mirrored is currently supported; as well as
fullscreened on a single monitor. It should be possible to extend with

It does this by introducing a new MetaCompositor sub type
MetaCompositorNative specific to the native backend, which derives from
MetaCompositorServer, containing functionality only relevant for when
running on top of the native backend.

We want sysprof's exact datadir for compatability with
platforms where software is installed into their own
individual immutable prefix's. Such that, mutter's prefix will
never equate to sysprof's. This depends on a MR in sysprof [0]

have the proper path we want.
This adds version a constraint on sysprof_dep, as datadir was added to

Where possible, try to export the buffer rendered by the primary GPU as a
dmabuf and import it to the secondary GPU and turn it into a DRM FB for
scanout. If this works, we get a zero-copy path to secondary GPU outputs.
This is especially useful on virtual drivers like EVDI (used for DisplayLink
devices) which are not picky at all about what kind of FBs they can handle.
The zero-copy path is prioritised after the secondary GPU copy path, which
should avoid regressions for existing working systems. Attempting zero-copy
would have the risk of being less performant than doing the copy on the
secondary GPU. This does not affect the DisplayLink use case, because there is
no GPU in a DisplayLink device.
The zero-copy path is prioritised before the primary GPU and CPU copy paths. It
will be tried on the first frame of an output and the copy path is executed
too. If zero-copy fails, the result from the copy path will take over on that
frame. Furthermore, zero-copy will not be attemped again on that output. If
zero-copy succeeds, the copy path is de-initialized.
Zero-copy is assumed to be always preferable over the primary GPU and CPU copy
paths. Whether this is universally true remains to be seen.
This patch has one unhandled failure mode: if zero-copy path first succeeds and
then fails later, there is no fallback and the output is left frozen or black.

Without 'wayland/surface-actor: Reset and sync subsurface state when
resetting' this test would fail.
This also adds a simple framework for testing lower level Wayland
semantics.
In contrast to the test-client and test-driver framework, which uses
gtk and tests mostly window management related things, this framework is
aimed to run Wayland clients made to test a particular protocol flow,
thus will likely consist of manual lower level Wayland mechanics.
A private protocol is added in order to help out clients do things they
cannot do by themself. The protocol currently only consists of a request
meant to be used for getting a callback when the actor of a given
surface is eventually destroyed. This is different from the wl_surface
being destroyed due to window destroy animations taking an arbitrary
amount of time. It'll be used by the first test added in the next
commit.

This changes how asynchronous window configuration works. Prior to this
commit, it worked by MetaWindowWayland remembering the last
configuration it sent, then when the Wayland client got back to it, it
tried to figure out whether it was a acknowledgment of the configuration
or not, and finish the move. This failed if the client had acknowledged
a configuration older than the last one sent, and it had hacks to
somewhat deal with wl_shell's lack of configuration serial numbers.
This commits scraps that and makes the MetaWindowWayland take ownership
of sent configurations, including generating serial numbers. The
wl_shell implementation is changed to emulate serial numbers (assuming
each commit acknowledges the last sent configure event). Each
configuration sent to the client is kept around until the client one. At
this point, the position used for that particular configuration is used
when applying the acknowledged state, meaning cases where we have
already sent a new configuration when the client acknowledges a previous
one, we'll still use the correct position for the window.
