Make the choosing and identity of the primary GPU an internal detail to
the native renderer. MonitorManagerKms did not need it for anything.
The primary GPU logic remains unchanged.
This allows follow-up patches to change how the renderer chooses the
primary GPU. It will be easier for the renderer to use private
information for choosing.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/271
This is a step towards moving the primary GPU logic into the native
renderer exclusively. In the future the renderer will have one more
criterion on choosing the primary GPU than MetaMonitorManagerKms should
know about: does a GPU offer hardware rendering.
The choosing of primary GPU is separated from the discovery of GPUs.
When GPUs are discovered and added to the list, the MetaGpuKmsFlag is
now populated correctly and used in choosing.
Choosing the primary GPU is done after all GPUs have been found and is
slightly different from before:
- Skipping devices that do not belong to our seat now works instead of
becoming the primary GPU.
- Fall back to any non-platform, non-boot_vga device if neither kind is
found.
The old preference of platform over boot_vga device is kept.
The hotplug path will continue creating a gpu_kms without flags, because
at that point the primary GPU has already been chosen and the flags are
irrelevant.

Add a flags field to MetaGpuKms. In following commits, the flags defined
here will be set and used for choosing the primary GPU.

backends/native: Stop supporting stage views being disabled
There were still some left over checks; lets remove them.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/343
The order and way include macros were structured was chaotic, with no
real common thread between files. Try to tidy up the mess with some
common scheme, to make things look less messy.
We need a way for mutter to exit if no available GPUs are going to work.
For example if gdm starts gnome-shell and we're using a DRM driver that
doesn't work with KMS then we should exit so that GDM can try with Xorg,
rather than operating in headless mode.

This is a small mistake spotted while working on a solution
for #77. When a GPU fails to initialize, we're adding them
anyway, which might have pretty bad consequences when trying
to use these NULL GPUs.
Issue: #77
First find the primary GPU and open it. Then go through all other
discovered GPUs with connectors and add those too. MetaRendererNative
still fails to initialize when multiple added GPUs and
MetaCursorRendererNative still always falls back on OpenGL based cursor
rendering when there are multiple GPUs.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785381
In order to eventually support multilpe GPUs with their own connectors,
split out related meta data management (i.e. outputs, CRTCs and CRTC
modes) into a new MetaGpu GObject.
The Xrandr backend always assumes there is always only a single "GPU" as
the GPU is abstracted by the X server; only the native backend (aside
from the test backend) will eventually see more than one GPU.
The Xrandr backend still moves some management to MetaGpuXrandr, in
order to behave more similarly to the KMS counterparts.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785381
Move finding, opening and managment of the KMS file descriptor to
MetaMonitorManagerKms. This means that the monitor manager creation can
now fail, both if more than one GPU with connectors is discovered, or
if finding or opening the primary GPU fails.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785381
The monitor manager instance was created and setup in one step; at
construction. This is problematic if, in the future, the monitor manager
creation can fail, as the monitor manager is created quite late.
To make it possible to in the future fail creating a monitor manager,
create the instance very early when initiating the backend, then on
post init backend setup, "setup" the monitor manager state, i.e. read
the current state and setup the stage.

Move code dealing with MetaCrtcKms and related functionality to its
own file. Eventually, MetaCrtcKms should become a GObject based on
MetaCrtc, and this commit is in preparation for that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785381
Instead of passing it around or fetching the singleton, keep a pointer
to the monitor manager that owns the CRTC. This will eventually be
replaced with a per GPU/graphics card object.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785381
Move code dealing with MetaOutputKms and related functionality to its
own file. Eventually, MetaOutputKms should become a GObject based on
MetaOutput, and this commit is in preparation for that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785381
Instead of passing it around or fetching the singleton, keep a pointer
to the monitor manager that owns the output. This will eventually be
replaced with a per GPU/graphics card object.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785381
Convert MetaCrtcMode from a plain struct to a GObject. This changes the
storage format, and also the API, as the API was dependent on the
storage format.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785381
Turn MetaCrtc into a GObject and move it to a separate file. This
changes the storage format, resulting in changing the API for accessing
MetaCrtcs from using an array, to using a GList.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785381
Turn MetaOutput into a GObject and move it to a separate file. This
changes the storage format, resulting in changing the API for accessing
MetaOutputs from using an array, to using a GList.

When headless, we don't have any logical monitors to derive a screen
size from, but we can't set it to empty as that will cause issues with
the clutter stage, UI widget layout and other things. To avoid such
issues, just fall back to a 640 x 480 screen size when headless.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730551
The zero-initialized winsys id was incorrectly used as the key to find
the old output to base active/primary state from, which would never
succeed unless the winsys id happened to be 0. Fix this by using the
winsys id that will be used, i.e. the connector id.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
This changes the API to pass supported scales per mode instead of
providing a global list. This allows for more flexible scaling
scenarious, where a scale compatible with one mode can still be made
available even though another mode is incompatible.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
When the logical layout mode is used, allow configuring the scaling to
be non-integer. Supported scales are so far hard coded to include at
most 1, 1.5 and 2, and scales that doesn't result in non-fractional
logical monitor sizes are discarded.
Wayland outputs are set to have scale ceil(actual_scale) meaning well
behaving Wayland clients will provide buffers with buffer scale 2, thus
being scaled down to the fractional scale.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
This commit makes it possible to configure logical monitor scale also
when running on top of an X11 server using Xrandr. An extra property
'requires-globla-scale' is added to the D-Bus API is added to instruct
a configuration application to only allow setting a global logical
monitor scale.
This is needed to let gsd-xsettings use the configured state to set a
XSettings state that respects the explicit monitor configuration.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The scale calculation doesn't really have anything to do with KMS, and
eventually we'll want to have mutter calculate the monitor scale for
non-KMS backends too, so move the scale calculation to MetaMonitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Introduce MetaSettings and add the settings managed by MetaBackend into
the new object. These settings include: experimental-features and UI
scaling factor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Instead of using a environment variable, add a new 'experimental
feature' gsetting keyword "monitor-config-manager" that enables the use
of the new MetaMonitorConfigManager. This commit also makes it possible
to switch between the two systems without restarting mutter.
The D-Bus API is disabled when the experimental feature is not enabled,
and clients trying to access it will get a access-denied error in
response. A new property 'IsExperimentalApiEnabled' is added to let the
D-Bus client know whether it is possible to use the experimental API or
not.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
This commit adds support for rendering onto enlarged per logical
monitor framebuffers, using the scaled clutter stage views, for HiDPI
enabled logical monitors.
This works by scaling the mode of the monitors in a logical monitors by
the scale, no longer relying on scaling the window actors and window
geometry for making windows have the correct size on HiDPI monitors.
It is disabled by default, as in automatically created configurations
will still use the old mode. This is partly because Xwayland clients
will not yet work good enough to make it feasible.
To enable, add the 'scale-monitor-framebuffer' keyword to the
org.gnome.mutter.experimental-features gsettings array.
It is still possible to specify the mode via the new D-Bus API, which
has been adapted.
The adaptations to the D-Bus API means the caller need to be aware of
how to position logical monitors on the stage grid. This depends on the
'layout-mode' property that is used (see the DisplayConfig D-Bus
documentation).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Make the concept of maximum screen size optional, as it is not
necessarily a thing on all systems (e.g. when using the native backend
and stage views).
The meta_monitor_monitor_get_limits() function is replaced by a
meta_monitor_manager_get_max_screen_size() which fails when no screen
limit is available. Callers and other users of the previous max screen
size fields are updated to deal with the fact that the limit is
optional.
The new D-Bus API is changed to move it to the properties bag, where
its absence means there is no applicable limit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Add a new D-Bus API that uses the state from GetCurrentState to
configure high level monitors, instead of low level CRTCs and
connectors. So far persistent configuration is not implemented, as
writing to the configuration store is still not supported.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Let the backends decide whether to just rebuild a derived state, or use
the NULL config to rebuild an empty logical state.
This also changes the expected screen size values of the no-outputs
test; as this case is actually handled now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Replace the 'scale' of an output with a vfunc on the MetaMonitorManager
class that takes a monitor and a monitor mode which calculates the
scale. On X11 this always returns 1, on KMS, the old formula is used.
On the dummy and test backends, the already configured values are
returned.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The code calculating the output scale involves calculations around pixel
and mm sizes, however we do compare post-transformation pixel sizes to
untransformed mm sizes, which breaks the DPI calculations. Fix this by
transforming back pixel sizes back to untransformed.
While we're at it, actually compare the output height to HIDPI_MIN_HEIGHT
instead of its width, it seems right according to the #define name and
comment.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777687
The mitigation to avoid missing EDID blob was incorrect; the reason it
sometimes failed to read was a race between different applications all
trying to read the EDID at the same time. E.g. gnome-shell as GDM would
at the same time as the session gnome-shell try to read the EDID of the
same connector at the same time, triggering a race in the kernel,
making the blob reading ioctl occationally fail with ENOENT.
Remove this mitigation, as it didn't really mitigate anything; the race
could just as well happen when doing the actual read later.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779837
When mutter is paused (i.e. not the DRM master), stop listening on
hotplug events. Instead read the current state and set modes when
resumed.
This avoids a race condition in the drm API which currently only
manages to properly deal with one application querying the EDID state
at the same time when there are multiple mutter instances running at
the same time (e.g. gnome-shell driving gdm at the same time as
gnome-shell as the session instance).
