With this commit, it's possible to run mutter without being DRM master.
It's not yet possible to add virtual monitors, but one can for example
already add virtual input devices.
This currently doesn't try to hook up to any logind session, thus will
not have a real seat assigned. Currently it's hard coded to "seat0".
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1698>
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.

Add a flag to MetaSeatNative and MetaSeatImpl that tells it not to
attempt to create a libinput context. This is intended to be used when
mutter is to run headless, as in without any input devices other than
virtual ones.

Make it possible to pass --headless as a command line argument in order
to turn the native backend "headless". This currently doesn't do
anything, but the intention is that it should not use logind nor KMS,
and work completely headless with only virtual outputs.

With commit 7d78768809 we switched to
storing pointer coordinates in MetaInputDeviceNative instead of
ClutterInputDevice, and while we had set the coordinates of the
ClutterInputDevice in ClutterStage when queueing an event, we now set
the MetaInputDeviceNative coordinates in new_absolute_motion_event().
Here a small mistake snuck in: new_absolute_motion_event() only
translates the coordinates of the event, but we call
meta_input_device_native_set_coords() using the x and y variables
(which remain untranslated), so now the input device coordinates are no
longer translated.
Fix that by translating the coordinates of the x and y variables in case
we're we handling a tablet/stylus event instead of only translating the
event coordinates.

With commit c985753442 the support for
multiple hardware cursors broke, but those were never properly supported
anyway as we usually assume there's only one hardware cursor around.
With the introduction of the KMS thread in the future, we'll only have
one KMS cursor that gets updated directly from the input thread. So
apart from the fact that it never really makes sense to have two cursors
visible, in this new model having multiple cursors won't work anyway.
So make the cursor we show for stylii a software cursor again.
Eventually the plan is to make the input device that's driving the KMS
cursor interchangeable, so that we can always use hardware cursors.
This reverts commit 165b7369c8.

This concerns only the cases when the presentation timestamp is received
directly from the device (from KMS or from GLX). In the majority of
cases this timestamp is already MONOTONIC. When it isn't, after this
commit, the current value of the MONOTONIC clock is sampled instead.
The alternative is to store the clock id alongside the timestamp, with
possible values of MONOTONIC, REALTIME (from KMS) and GETTIMEOFDAY (from
GLX; this might be the same as REALTIME, I'm not sure), and then
"convert" the timestamp to MONOTONIC when needed. An example of such a
conversion was done in compositor.c (removed in this commit). It would
also be needed for the presentation-time Wayland protocol. However, it
seems that the vast majority of up-to-date systems are using MONOTONIC
anyway, making this effort not justified.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1484>
KMS and GLX device timestamps have microsecond precision, and whenever
we sample the time ourselves it's not the real presentation time anyway,
so nanosecond precision for that case is unnecessary.
The presentation timestamp in ClutterFrameInfo is in microseconds, too,
so this commit makes them have the same precision.

A flag indicating whether the presentation timestamp was provided by the
display hardware (rather than sampled in user space).
It will be used for the presentation-time Wayland protocol.
This is definitely the case for page_flip_handler(), and I'm assuming
this is also the case for the two instances in the GLX code.

The old calculation was introduced to improve the precision
with commit c16a5ec1cf.
Here, I call the calculation as "revision 2", and the
calculation even older as "revision 1", and the new
calculation introduced with this commit as "reivion 3".
Revision 2 has two problems:
1. The calculation is mixed with fixed-point numbers and
floating-point numbers.
To overcome the precision loss of fixed-point numbers division,
it first "calculates refresh rate in milliHz first for extra
precision", but this requires converting the value back to Hz.
An extra calculation has performance and precision costs.
It is also hard to understand for programmers.
2. The calculation has a bias.
In the process, it does:
refresh += (drm_mode->vtotal / 2);
It prevents the value from being rounded to a smaller value in
a fixed-point integer arithmetics, but it only adds a small
bias (0.0005) and consumes some fraction bits for
floating point arithmetic.
Revision 3, introduced with this commit always uses
double-precision floating-point values for true precision and
to ease understanding of this code. It also removes the bias.
Another change is that it now has two internal values, numerator
and denominator. Revision 1 also calculated those two values
first, and later performed a division with them, which minimizes
the precision loss caused by divisions. This method has risks of
overflowing the two values and revision 1 caused problems due to
that, but revision 3 won't thanks to double-precision. Therefore,
revision 3 will theoretically have the result identical with
the calculation with infinite-precision.

This removes the responsibility of tracking these from the backend to
the base object. The backends are instead responsible for calling the
function to update the values.
For the native backend, it's important that this happens on the correct
thread, so each time either of these states may change, post a idle
callback on the main thread that sets the, at the time of queuing said
callback, up to date state. This means that things on the main thread
will always be able to get a "new enough but not too new" state when
listening on the 'notify::' signals and getting the property value
after.

Without these devices, things that depend on the existance of input
device classes won't know about the existance of e.g. pointer devices,
if the only pointer device is from a virtual one.
This requires handling situations where e.g. a device doesn't have a
device node thus can't be matched against a udev device.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1688>
Libinput will queue a few initial events when a seat is assigned to the
udev backend; a result of it probing udev adding detected devices. For
us to see these events, we need to dispatch libinput before going idle,
as nothing will show up on the libinput file descriptor until something
else (e.g. keyboard event or mouse movement) wakes us up.
Do this by adding a prepare() function to the libinput GSource, that
checks whether there are any events in the queue already, and return
TRUE if so is the case, causing us to dispatch before going fully idle.

When a remote desktop user emits a virtual smooth scrolling event, a
smooth scroll event, that is not emulated, is emitted and on occasion
a discrete scroll event, that is emulated, is emitted.
As base for the discrete scrolling event, the smooth scrolling steps
are accumulated.
When the accumulated smooth scrolling steps surpass the
DISCRETE_SCROLL_STEP, the discrete scrolling event is emitted.
Currently, mutter uses for DISCRETE_SCROLL_STEP the value 10, which is
a terrible value to work with, especially for high resolution mouse
wheels.
When a triple resolution mouse wheel is used, each scrolling step will
have the value 3 1/3.
Three of such events won't however surpass the DISCRETE_SCROLL_STEP.
To fix this situation, add DBL_EPSILON to the calculation step, when
checking for the discrete scroll event to ensure that 3 smooth scroll
events, with each having the value 3 1/3, emit a discrete scrolling
event.

The original implementation of ::touch-mode tested for keyboard
presence to know whether the OSK and other touch-only features were
enabled.
However that didn't pan out, every webcam, card reader and kitchen
sink like to live a second life as EV_KEY devices. This made the
detection of actual external keyboards a much harder task than it
sounds, and was thus removed in commit f8e2234ce5.
Try a different approach here, and test for pointer devices, it
doesn't matter if internal or external devices, the rationales:
- It is significantly easier to get this right, there's virtually
no devices with abs/rel axes that don't try to be a real input
device of some sorts.
- It's not as good as testing for keyboard presence, but it's the
next best thing. These usually come in pairs, except in weird
setups.
- It is better than not having anything for a number of situations:
- Non-convertible laptops with a touchscreen will get touch-mode
disabled due to touchpad presence (plus keyboard). There's
been complains about OSK triggering with those.
- Same for desktop machines with USB touchscreens, the mouse
(and presumably keyboard) attached would make touch-mode
get in the middle.
- Convertible laptops with a broken tablet-mode switch get a
chance to work on tablet modes that do disable input devices
(e.g. detachable keyboards, or via firmware)
- Kiosk machines, tablets, and other devices that have a
touchscreen but will not regularly have a mouse/keyboard
will get the touch-mode enabled.
All in all, this seems to cover more situations the way we expect it,
there's only one situation that the OSK would show where it might
not be desirable, and one that might not show when it better should:
- Tablets and kiosk machines that get one keyboard plugged, but not a
mouse, will still show the OSK, despite being able to type right
away.
- Convertible laptops with broken/unreliable tablet-mode switch (e.g.
ignored by the kernel) rely entirely on the device/firmware
characteristics to work. If after folding into tablet mode the
touchpad remains active, touch-mode will not turn on.
Fixing the tablet-mode switch on these devices should be preferred,
as that'll also make libinput magically disable the touchpad.
The latter can be worked around with the a11y toggle. The former is
merely inconvenient, and nothing prevents the user from plugging a mouse
in addition.

Instead of calling "init_onscreen()" on two different separate vtables

Thins means that e.g. MetaOnscreenNative now inherits CoglOnscreenEgl,
which inherits CoglOnscreen which inherits CoglFramebuffer, all being
the same GObject instance.
This makes it necessary to the one creating the onscreen to know what it
wants to create. For the X11 backend, the type of renderer (Xlib EGL or
GLX) determines the type, and for the native backend, it's currently
always MetaOnscreenNative.
The "winsys" vfunc entries related to onscreens hasn't been moved yet,
that will come later.

To get meta-renderer-native.c down to a bit more managable size, and to
isolate "onscreen" functionality from other (at least partly), move out
the things related to CoglOnscreen to meta-onscreen-native.[ch].
A couple of structs are moved to a new shared header file, as
abstracting those types (e.g. (primary, secondary) render devices) will
be dealt with later.

The mutter naming convention for types and their instance variables is:
Type name:
[Namespace][BaseName][SubType]
Instance name:

glx_onscreen is renamed onscreen_glx. This is in preparation for

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().

In order to reliably manage the reference count of the user data passed
to page flip listeners - being the stage view - make the ownership of
this data travel through the different objects that take responsibility
of the next step.
Initially this is the MetaKmsPageFlipListener that belongs to a
MetaKmsUpdate.
When a page flip is successfully queued, the ownership is transferred to
a MetaKmsPageFlipClosure that is part of a MetaKmsPageFlipData. In the
simple impl device, the MetaKmsPageFlipData is passed to
drmModePageFlip(), then returned back via the DRM event. In the future
atomic impl device, the MetaKmsPageFlipData is stored in a table, then
retrieved when DRM event are handled.
When the DRM events are handled, the page flip listener's interface
callbacks are invoked, and after that, the user data is freed using the
passed GDestroyNotify function, in the main context, the same as where
the interface callbacks were called.
When a page flip fails, the ownership is also transferred to a
MetaKmsPageFlipClosure that is part of a MetaKmsPageFlipData. This page
flip data will be passed to the main context via a callback, where it
will discard the page flip, and free the user data using the provided
GDestroyNotify.
Note that this adds back a page flip listener type flag for telling the
KMS implementation whether to actively discard a page flip via the
interface, or just free the user data. Avoiding discarding via the
interface is needed for the direct scanout case, where we immediately
need to know the result in order to fall back to the composite pipeline
if the direct scanout failed. We do in fact also need active discard via
the interface paths, e.g. in the simple impl device when we're
asynchronously retrying a page flip, so replace the ad-hoc discard paths
in meta-renderer-native.c and replace them by not asking for no-discard
page flip error handling.

Suspending might have changed the CRTC configuration, turning some off,
some on, etc. We need to update our internal representation of this

Destroying an onscreen destroyes the gbm_surface, the gbm_bo's, and the
fb_id's. Doing this (drmModeRmFB() of the fb_id specifically), may on
some hw implicitly disable the CRTC of the plane that framebuffer was
assigned to. This would cause following atomic commit that attempts to
disable the CRTC to fail as disabling an already disabled CRTC is not
allowed.
It'd also mean we'd always disable the plane before having finished next
mode set, leaving it monitor content potentially empty when not really
necessary.
Solve this by keeping the CoglOnscreens (thus the gbm_surface, gbm_bo
and fb_id) alive until the following global mode set has completed, i.e.
the new state has been fully committed and applied.

This makes "power save" (i.e. when you make a monitor go into power save
mode, or make it come out of power save mode), a per device action when
turning on power saving (power save being set to 'off'), and implicitly
handled when turning off power saving (power save being set to 'on')
when doing a mode set.
This is needed as with atomic mode setting, the configuration of DPMS
(Display Power Management Signaling), is replaced by directly turning on
or off CRTCs, and via the CRTC drm properties. Thus in order to handle
both with a common API, make that API high level enough for both cases
being covered.

Before we received new gamma updates via D-Bus and posted the update to
KMS directly. This won't be possible with atomic KMS, since one can only
update the state of a CRTC once per cycle.
Thus, to handle this, when configured by D-Bus, only cache the value,
and mark it as invalid. The next frame, the native renderer will pick
up the newly cached gamma value and configure the CRTCs accordingly.

We cannot switch DPMS state to 'on' first, then mode set later, when
using atomic KMS. So when we're turning it on, just let the eventual
mode set handle DPMS too.
When switching DPMS to 'off', do it directly, synchronously, both by
setting the DPMS state and switching off CRTCs.

Before each frame is maybe redrawn, push any new cursor KMS state to the

Don't mode set each CRTC in separate KMS updates, as reconfiguring one
CRTC might cause other CRTCs to be implicitly reset thus as well,
causing KMS return EBUSY if using atomic modesetting.
Prepare for this by compositing each CRTC first including adding steps
to the KMS update, but wait until all views has rendered at least once
before posting the initial update. After this each CRTC is posted
separately.
Using EGLStreams instead of normal page flipping seems to fail when
doing this though, so handle that the old way for the EGLStream case,
i.e. eglSwapBuffers() -> mode set with dumb buffer -> eglStream
"acquire" (resulting in page flip under the hood).
For this we also introduce a new error code so that we don't use client
buffers when doing mode sets, which could accidentally configure the
CRTC in a way that is incompatible with the primary plane buffers.
Do the same also when we're in power save mode, to only have one special
case path for this scenario in the regular swap-buffer path.

Instead of setting the frame result in the most generic layer, have the

This argument is intended to be used by clutter to be able to
communicate with the onscreen backend, that happens to be the native
backend. It will be used to pass a ClutterFrame pointer, where the

ClutterFrame aims to carry information valid during dispatching a frame.
A frame may or may not include redrawing, but will always end with a
result.
A asynchronous page flip, for example, will result in a
CLUTTER_FRAME_RESULT_PENDING_PRESENTED, while a frame that only
dispatched events etc will result in CLUTTER_FRAME_RESULT_IDLE. Instead
of this being implicit, make the ClutterStageWindow implementation
handle this itself.

If we reassign e.g. a cursor plane twice before it's updated, we need to
make sure the 'fb-unchanged' flag is correctly handled, so that if we

fb-unchanged.

When we e.g. try to post an direct client buffer scanout update, it
might arbitrarily fail; when this happen we still will want to post the
rest of the update when we try again after having composited the primary
plane. To do this, add a way to preserve the metadata of an update if it
failed, only dropping the failed plane assignments. This involves
unlocking a previously locked MetaKmsUpdate, so that e.g. a new primary
plane can be assigned.

Sealing is a one way operation, but in the next commit, the "seal" will

If a modeset is pending, it's likely that the cursor update will not

Something might want to affect the next update that is going to be
posted, but without posting it immediately. For example, changing the
cursor might need to wait for mode setting. Make it possible to get
feedback from posting the update, in order to gracefully handle any
errors.
Note, the API for notifiying about results take out the result listener
from the update, and notifies them in an open coded for loop. The reason
for this is that in the next commit we'll sometimes reuse updates, and
we only want notify about the results once.
