Since we cache already all the KMS parameters we care about let's check at
each device update if anything has really changed and only in such case
emit a resources-changed signal.
In this way we can also filter out the DRM parameters that when changed
don't require a full monitors rebuild.
Examples are the gamma settings or the privacy screen parameters, that
emits an udev "hotplug" event when changed, but we want to register those
only when we handle the changed property.

In order to make it possible to e.g. unload an unused DRM device, we
need to make sure that we don't keep the file descriptor open if we
don't need it; otherwise we block anyone from unloading the
corresponding module.

This changes the way the KMS backends load; if we're headless, we always
use the dummy one and fail otherwise; in other cases, we first try the
atomic backend, and if that fails, fall back on the simple one.
The aim for this is to have the impl device open and close the device
when needed, using the device pool directly.

When drmModePageFlip() or drmModeAtomicCommit() unexpectedly failed (e.g.
ENOSPC, which has been seen in the wild), this failure was not handled
very gracefully. The page flip listener for the scanout was left in the
MetaKmsUpdate, meaning when the primary plane composition was later page
flipped, two page flip listeners were added, one for the primary plane,
and one for the scanout. This caused the 'page-flipped' event to be
handled twice, the second time being fatal.
Handle this by making 'no-discard' listener flag be somewhat reversed,
and say 'drop-on-error', and then drop all 'drop-on-error' listeners
when a MetaKmsUpdate failed to be processed.
Also for a "preserve" flagged update, don't ever trigger "discard"
callbacks just yet, as preserved updates are used again for the primary
plane composition, in order to not miss e.g. CRTC gamma updates, or
cursor plane updates, which were added separately.

The first phase happens early, which discards pending page flips,
meaning the references held by those page flip closures are released.
The second phase happens late, after other units depending on the KMS
abstraction, have been cleaned up.

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 leaves only the atomic mode setting cap check before creating the
impl device, aiming to make it possible to create a non-mode-setting
MetaKmsImplDevice implementation.

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 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.

The way drm events are handled depends on whether we're using atomic or
not. Lets move the handling to the implementation, so that later the
atomic backend can handle the event they it need to.

Eventually the type of impl device will depend on the driver details, so
get that information before constructing the impl device. This commit
doesn't introduce any new usage of the details, it just prepares for
the future.

Instead of a constructor method, use the type directly and handle error
reporting using GInitable.
The DRM capability setting is done before construction, as later it'll
determine what type of impl device should be constructed.

Values may need to be processed and parsed in custom ways; make this
possible via the property table infrastructure using a callback.
Will be used for e.g. parsing rotation and formats.

Instead of relatively verbosely going through the DRM properties finding
the properties we care about and saving their ID's, add a more
declarative way to fetch property metadata. This'll allow for fetching
more property IDs with relatively less code, which will be useful for
the atomic backend.

Devices have capabilities that other parts need to know about. Instead
of having them probe using drmMode* API, outsource this to
MetaKmsDevice. Currently the only capability tracked is HW cursor size.

We can't just update the state of the connector and CRTC from KMS since
it might contain too new updates, e.g. from a from a future hot plug. In
order to not add ad-hoc hot plug detection everywhere, predict the state
changes by looking inside the MetaKmsUpdate object, and let the hot-plug
state changes happen after the actual hot-plug event.
This fixes issues where connectors were discovered as disconnected while
doing a mode-set, meaning assumptions about the connectedness of
monitors elsewhere were broken until the hot plug event was processed.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/782https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/826
drmModeGetConnector may fail and return NULL, this may happen when
a connector is removed underneath us (which can happen with e.g.
DP MST or GPU hot unplug).
Deal with this by skipping the connector when enumerating and by
assuming it is disconnected when checking its connection state.

We currently don't handle the lack of DRM_CLIENT_CAP_UNIVERSAL_PLANES
KMS capability. Fail constructing a device that can't handle this up
front, so later made assumptions, such as presence of a primary plane,
are actually valid.
If we want to support lack of said capability, the required planes need
to be emulated by a dummy MetaKmsPlane object.

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.

As with CRTC state, variable connector state is now fetched via the
MetaKmsConnector. The existance of a connector state is equivalent of
the connector being connected. MetaOutputKms is changed to fetch
variable connector state via MetaKmsConnector intsead of KMS directly.
The drmModeConnector is still used for constructing the MetaOutputKms to
find properties used for applying configuration.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/548https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/525
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.

Represents drmModeConnector; both connected and disconnected. Currently
only provides non-changing meta data. MetaOutputKms is changed to use
MetaKmsConnector to get basic metadata, but variable metadata, those
changing depending on what is connected (e.g. physical dimension, EDID,
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.
