To utilize the API provided by libsystemd it would be better to
create a separate HAVE_LIBSYSTEMD configuration option instead of
having to rely on HAVE_NATIVE_BACKEND.
For now this will be utilized for getting the control group of a
MetaWindow.

As with the compositor type enum, also have the X11 display policy enum,
as it's also effectively part of the context configuration. But as with
the compositor type, move it to a header file for enums only, and since

This type is intended to replace the scattered functions used to
configure how the Mutter compositor is run. It currently doesn't do
anything, and only has a human readable name, intended to be set to e.g.
"GNOME Shell".
It's an abstract type, and is intended to be used via either a future
`MetaContextMain` for real display server use cases, and a
`MetaContextTest` for test cases.

This practically does the same thing as part of MetaLauncher, except
with added thread safety and caching. For example, opening the same file
a second time will return the same MetaDeviceFile, and only once all
acquired MetaDeviceFile's are released, will the file descriptor be
closed and control of the device released.

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.

Try to bypass compositing if there is a fullscreen toplevel window with
a buffer compatible with the primary plane of the monitor it is

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

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]
which adds datadir to its pkgconfig files, as these files will always
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.

This commit introduces, and makes use of, a transactional API used for
setting up KMS state, later to be applied, potentially atomically. From
an API point of view, so is always the case, but in the current
implementation, it still uses legacy drmMode* API to apply the state
non-atomically.
The API consists of various buliding blocks:
* MetaKmsUpdate - a set of configuration changes, the higher level
handle for handing over configuration to the impl backend. It's used to
set mode, assign framebuffers to planes, queue page flips and set
connector properties.
* MetaKmsPlaneAssignment - the assignment of a framebuffer to a plane.
Currently used to map a framebuffer to the primary plane of a CRTC. In
the legacy KMS implementation, the plane assignment is used to derive
the framebuffer used for mode setting and page flipping.
This also means various high level changes:
State, excluding configuring the cursor plane and creating/destroying
DRM framebuffer handles, are applied in the end of a clutter frame, in
one go. From an API point of view, this is done atomically, but as
mentioned, only the non-atomic implementation exists so far.
From MetaRendererNative's point of view, a page flip now initially
always succeeds; the handling of EBUSY errors are done asynchronously in
the MetaKmsImpl backend (still by retrying at refresh rate, but
postponing flip callbacks instead of manipulating the frame clock).
Handling of falling back to mode setting instead of page flipping is
notified after the fact by a more precise page flip feedback API.
EGLStream based page flipping relies on the impl backend not being
atomic, as the page flipping is done in the EGLStream backend (e.g.
nvidia driver). It uses a 'custom' page flip queueing method, keeping
the EGLStream logic inside meta-renderer-native.c.
Page flip handling is moved to meta-kms-impl-device.c from
meta-gpu-kms.c. It goes via an extra idle callback before reaching
meta-renderer-native.c to make sure callbacks are invoked outside of the
impl context.
While dummy power save page flipping is kept in meta-renderer-native.c, the
EBUSY handling is moved to meta-kms-impl-simple.c. Instead of freezing the
frame clock, actual page flip callbacks are postponed until all EBUSY retries
have either succeeded or failed due to some other error than EBUSY. This
effectively inhibits new frames to be drawn, meaning we won't stall waiting on
the file descriptor for pending page flips.

Move reading state into a struct for MetaCrtcKms to use instead of
querying KMS itself. The state is fetched in the impl context, but
consists of only simple data types, so is made accessible publicly. As
of this, MetaCrtcKms construction does not involve any manual KMS
interaction outside of the MetaKms abstraction.

etc), are still manually retrieved by MetaOutputKms.

A plane is one of three possible: primary, overlay and cursor. Each
plane can have various properties, such as possible rotations, formats
etc. Each plane can also be used with a set of CRTCs.
A primary plane is the "backdrop" of a CRTC, i.e. the primary output for
the composited frame that covers the whole CRTC. In general, mutter
composites to a stage view frame onto a framebuffer that is then put on
the primary plane.
An overlay plane is a rectangular area that can be displayed on top of
the primary plane. Eventually it will be used to place non-fullscreen
surfaces, potentially avoiding stage redraws.
A cursor plane is a plane placed on top of all the other planes, usually
used to put the mouse cursor sprite.
Initially, we only fetch the rotation properties, and we so far
blacklist all rotations except ones that ends up with the same
dimensions as with no rotations. This is because non-180° rotations
doesn't work yet due to incorrect buffer modifiers. To make it possible
to use non-180° rotations, changes necessary include among other things
finding compatible modifiers using atomic modesetting. Until then,
simply blacklist the ones we know doesn't work.

Add MetaKmsCrtc to represent a CRTC on the associated device. Change
MetaCrtcKms to use the ones discovered by the KMS abstraction. It still
reads the resources handed over by MetaGpuKms, but eventually it will
use only MetaKmsCrtc.
MetaKmsCrtc is a type of object that is usable both from an impl task
and from outside. All the API exposed via the non-private header is
expected to be accessible from outside of the meta-kms namespace.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/548https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/525
The intention with KMS abstraction is to hide away accessing the drm
functions behind an API that allows us to have different kind of KMS
implementations, including legacy non-atomic and atomic. The intention
is also that the code interacting with the drm device should be able to
be run in a different thread than the main thread. This means that we
need to make sure that all drm*() API usage must only occur from within
tasks that eventually can be run in the dedicated thread.
The idea here is that MetaKms provides a outward facing API other places
of mutter can use (e.g. MetaGpuKms and friends), while MetaKmsImpl is
an internal implementation that only gets interacted with via "tasks"
posted via the MetaKms object. These tasks will in the future
potentially be run on the dedicated KMS thread. Initially, we don't
create any new threads.
Likewise, MetaKmsDevice is a outward facing representation of a KMS
device, while MetaKmsImplDevice is the corresponding implementation,
which only runs from within the MetaKmsImpl tasks.
This commit only moves opening and closing the device to this new API,
while leaking the fd outside of the impl enclosure, effectively making
the isolation for drm*() calls pointless. This, however, is necessary to
allow gradual porting of drm interaction, and eventually the file
descriptor in MetaGpuKms will be removed. For now, it's harmless, since
everything still run in the main thread.

Before this commit, sudo x11-app, e.g. sudo gvim /etc/some-file, fails
when running a Wayland session. Where as doing this under a "GNOME on Xorg"
session works fine. For a user switching from the Xorg session to the
Wayland session, this is regression, which we want to avoid.
This commit fixes this by creating and passing an xauth file to Xwayland when
mutter starts it. Just like gdm or startx pass a xauth file to Xorg when they
start Xorg.

This object takes care of the X11 representation of the window stack,
namely the _NET_CLIENT_LIST and _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING root window
properties.
This code has been lifted from src/core/stack.c into src/x11 as it's
dependent on the X11 display availability. This also leaves MetaStack
squeaky clean of x11 specifics.

There is no reason why we should have an internal type enum when we have
all the infrastructure to just use multiple GObject types. Also there
was no code sharing between the old "types", the only common API was
getting the framebuffer ID, so lets make that a vfunc.

This is a simple clipboard manager implementation on top of MetaSelection.
It will inspect the clipboard content for UTF-8 text and image data whenever
any other selection source claims ownership, and claim it for itself
whenever the clipboard goes unowned.
The stored text has a maximum size of 4MB and images 200MB, to prevent the
compositor from allocating indefinite amounts of memory.
This is not quite a X11 clipboard manager, but also works there.

This code takes care of both setting up X11 selection sources whenever
X11 clients claim selection ownership, and claiming selection ownership
on a mutter X11 window whenever other selection sources claim ownership.

This object represents a Wayland selection owner. In order to invert the
FD direction (we hand an output fd, but want an inpu fd), create an
intermediate pipe so we can then create a GInputStream on top of it.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/320
This object represents the selection ownership from an X11 client. The
list of supported targets is queried upfront, so its initialization is
asynchronous. Requests to read contents from the selection will hand
a MetaX11SelectionInputStream.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/320
MetaSelectionSource represents a primary/clipboard/dnd selection owner,
it is an abstract type so wayland/x11/etc implementations can be provided.
These 3 selections are managed by the MetaSelection object, the current
selection owners will be set there, and signals will be emitted so the
previous selection owner can clean itself up.
The actual data transfer is done through the meta_selection_transfer_async()
call, which will take a GOutputStream and create a corresponding
GInputStream from the MetaSelectionSource in order to splice them.

Meson 0.50.0 made passing an absolute path to install_headers()'
subdir keyword a fatal error. This means we have to track both
relative (to includedir) paths for header subdirs and absolute
paths for generated headers now :-(

This adds the required bits to wayland surfaces and ties them up
to the compositor parts.
It is based on and very similar in nature to buffer transforms.
From the specification:
> The global interface exposing surface cropping and scaling
> capabilities is used to instantiate an interface extension for a
> wl_surface object. This extended interface will then allow cropping
> and scaling the surface contents, effectively disconnecting the
> direct relationship between the buffer and the surface size.

Make meson link libmutter using -fvisibility=hidden, and introduce META_EXPORT
and META_EXPORT_TEST defines to mark a symbols as visible.
The TEST version is meant to be used to flag symbols that are only used
internally by mutter tests, but that should not be considered public API.
This allows us to be more precise in selecting what is exported and what is
not, without the need of a version-script file that would be more complicated
to maintain.

pkg-config files for mutter are generated using *_pkg_deps as requires, but
programs linked with libmutter doesn't need most of these private dependencies
which are only needed for building and linking mutter and its subprojects.
So list packages needed only by mutter itself inside *_pkg_private_deps and
don't expose such packages to pkg-config, but only use them at build time.

Soname of the libraries should be the major version number, while the version
triplet is currently used:
objdump -p libmutter-4.so.0.0.0 | grep SONAME
SONAME libmutter-4.so.0.0.0
While is expected to be only libmutter-4.so.0
Fix all shared libraries by setting valid version and soversion.

This is a GAppLaunchContext subclass meant to replace usage of
GdkAppLaunchContext in gnome-shell.
Launch contexts get created from the MetaStartupNotification as
they are closely related. The messaging underneath depends on
the availability of a X11 display, if there is one we go through
it (and libsn). If there is none, we still create startup sequences
manually for wayland clients.
If a library is provided in the positional arguments, then meson
defaults to installing the .pc file in a 'pkgconfig' subdirectory
in the library's install location. We want the files in the regular
$libdir/pkgconfig rather than $libdir/mutter-$api/pkgconfig, so
specify the location explicitly in the parameters.

This is a simple libcanberra abstraction object, so we are able
to play file/theme sounds without poking into GTK+/X11. Play
requests are delegated to a separate thread, so we don't block
UI on cards that are slow to wake up from power saving.
Dependencies are added automatically, and we no longer get warnings
like:
clutter/clutter/meson.build:628: DEPRECATION: Library mutter-clutter-4
was passed to the "libraries" keyword argument of a previous call to
generate() method instead of first positional argument. Adding
mutter-clutter-4 to "Requires" field, but this is a deprecated behaviour
that will change in a future version of Meson. Please report the issue
if this warning cannot be avoided in your case.
Those are stub specialized classes for MetaWindowActor. This will
help ensuring that we do not execute X11-specific code paths on
pure Wayland clients.
The relationship between the window actor and the surface is the
following:
* Wayland: MetaWindowActorWayland + MetaSurfaceActorWayland
* X11: MetaWindowActorX11 + MetaSurfaceActorX11
* Xwayland: MetaWindowActorX11 + MetaSurfaceActorWayland
It is not possible to have MetaWindowActorWayland backed by a
MetaSurfaceActorX11 surface.

This makes the build less verbose, as all .gir generation except for
clutters didn't pass --quiet to g-ir-scanner, making it output long
linking commands. Do this by adding a common introspection_args
variable.
While at it, put -U_GNU_SOURCE in there too, as it was always passed
everywhere as without it the scanner would log warnings.
Typically, to stream the content of a window, we need a way to copy the
content of its window-actor into a buffer, transform relative input
coordinates to relative position within the window-actor and a mean to
get the window bounds within the buffer.
For this purpose, add a new GType interface `MetaScreenCastWindow` with
the methods needed for screen-cast window mode:
* meta_screen_cast_window_get_buffer_bounds()
* meta_screen_cast_window_get_frame_bounds()
* meta_screen_cast_window_transform_relative_position()
* meta_screen_cast_window_capture_into()
This interface is meant to be implemented by `MetaWindowActor` which has
access to all the necessary bits to implement them.

This object takes care of mapping absolute devices to monitors,
to do so it uses 3 heuristics, in this order of preference:
- If a device is known to be builtin, it's assigned to the
builtin monitor.
- If input device and monitor match sizes (with an error margin
of 5%)
- If input device name and monitor vendor/product in EDID match
somehow (from "full", through "partial", to just "vendor")
The most favorable outputs are then assigned to each device, making
sure not to assign two devices of the same kind to the same output.
This object replaces (and is mostly 1:1 with) GsdDeviceMapper in
g-s-d. That object would perform these same heuristics, and let
mutter indirectly know through settings changes. This object allows
doing the same in-process.
If meson tries to get ahead and generate object files for tests
at the same time than building libmutter, those may randomly fail
if meson did not create the libmutter generated headers yet.
Add those to the declared dependency, so the files are ensured to
be created before anything gets to use it.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/404
Add support for getting hardware presentation times from KMS (Wayland
sessions). Also implement cogl_get_clock_time which is required to compare
and judge the age of presentation timestamps.
For single monitor systems this is straightforward. For multi-monitor
systems though we have to choose a display to sync to. The compositor
already partially solves this for us in the case of only one display
updating because it will only use the subset of monitors that are
changing. In the case of multiple monitors consuming the same frame
concurrently however, we choose the fastest one (in use at the time).
Note however that we also need !73 to land in order to fully realize
multiple monitors running at full speed.
Meson uses the 'dependencies' field to determine and
parallelize build steps, but that isn't entirely true
with 'link_with'; this might cause a race condition
when generating header files while trying to build
them.
Fix that by only using 'dependencies' instead of 'link_with'.
This commit adds meson build support to mutter. It takes a step away
from the three separate code bases with three different autotools setups
into a single meson build system. There are still places that can be
unified better, for example by removing various "config.h" style files
from cogl and clutter, centralizing debug C flags and other configurable
macros, and similar artifacts that are there only because they were once
separate code bases.
There are some differences between the autotools setup and the new
meson. Here are a few:
The meson setup doesn't generate wrapper scripts for various cogl and
clutter test cases. What these tests did was more or less generate a
tiny script that called an executable with a test name as the argument.
To run particular tests, just run the test executable with the name of
the test as the argument.
The meson setup doesn't install test files anymore. The autotools test
suite was designed towards working with installed tests, but it didn't
really still, and now with meson, it doesn't install anything at all,
but instead makes sure that everything runs with the uninstalled input
files, binaries and libraries when running the test suite. Installable
tests may come later.
Tests from cogl, clutter and mutter are run on 'meson test'. In
autotools, only cogl and clutter tests were run on 'make check'.
