We only listen to it for 2 settings (drag threshold, double click
time), and we already have the stock ClutterSettings object tracking
the source of these. This code is redundant.

Not sure how to update the damage or redraw clip or something; at least
this works properly when under a constantly-redrawing window, which is
ok for debugging purposes.

Max render time shows how early the frame clock needs to be dispatched
to make it to the predicted next presentation time. Before this commit
it was set to refresh interval minus 2 ms. This means Mutter would
always start compositing 14.7 ms before a display refresh on a 60 Hz
screen or 4.9 ms before a display refresh on a 144 Hz screen. However,
Mutter frequently does not need as much time to finish compositing and
submit buffer to KMS:
max render time
/------------\
---|---------------|---------------|---> presentations
D----S D--S
D - frame clock dispatch
S - buffer submission
This commit aims to automatically compute a shorter max render time to
make Mutter start compositing as late as possible (but still making it
in time for the presentation):
max render time
/-----\
---|---------------|---------------|---> presentations
D----S D--S
Why is this better? First of all, Mutter gets application contents to
draw at the time when compositing starts. If new application buffer
arrives after the compositing has started, but before the next
presentation, it won't make it on screen:
---|---------------|---------------|---> presentations
D----S D--S
A-------------X----------->
^ doesn't make it for this presentation
A - application buffer commit
X - application buffer sampled by Mutter
Here the application committed just a few ms too late and didn't make on
screen until the next presentation. If compositing starts later in the
frame cycle, applications can commit buffers closer to the presentation.
These buffers will be more up-to-date thereby reducing input latency.
---|---------------|---------------|---> presentations
D----S D--S
A----X---->
^ made it!
Moreover, applications are recommended to render their frames on frame
callbacks, which Mutter sends right after compositing is done. Since
this commit delays the compositing, it also reduces the latency for
applications drawing on frame callbacks. Compare:
---|---------------|---------------|---> presentations
D----S D--S
F--A-------X----------->
\____________________/
latency
---|---------------|---------------|---> presentations
D----S D--S
F--A-------X---->

less latency
F - frame callback received, application starts rendering
So how do we actually estimate max render time? We want it to be as low
as possible, but still large enough so as not to miss any frames by
accident:
max render time

oops, took a little too long
For a successful presentation, the frame needs to be submitted to KMS
and the GPU work must be completed before the vblank. This deadline can
be computed by subtracting the vblank duration (calculated from display
mode) from the predicted next presentation time.
We don't know how long compositing will take, and we also don't know how
long the GPU work will take, since clients can submit buffers with
unfinished GPU work. So we measure and estimate these values.
The frame clock dispatch can be split into two phases:
1. From start of the dispatch to all GPU commands being submitted (but
not finished)—until the call to eglSwapBuffers().
2. From eglSwapBuffers() to submitting the buffer to KMS and to GPU
work completing. These happen in parallel, and we want the latest of
the two to be done before the vblank.
We measure these three durations and store them for the last 16 frames.
The estimate for each duration is a maximum of these last 16 durations.
Usually even taking just the last frame's durations as the estimates
works well enough, but I found that screen-capturing with OBS Studio
increases duration variability enough to cause frequent missed frames
when using that method. Taking a maximum of the last 16 frames smoothes
out this variability.
The durations are naturally quite variable and the estimates aren't
perfect. To take this into account, an additional constant 2 ms is added
to the max render time.
How does it perform in practice? On my desktop with 144 Hz monitors I
get a max render time of 4–5 ms instead of the default 4.9 ms (I had
1 ms manually configured in sway) and on my laptop with a 60 Hz screen I
get a max render time of 4.8–5.5 ms instead of the default 14.7 ms (I
had 5–6 ms manually configured in sway). Weston [1] went with a 7 ms
default.
The main downside is that if there's a sudden heavy batch of work in the
compositing, which would've made it in default 14.7 ms, but doesn't make
it in reduced 6 ms, there is a delayed frame which would otherwise not
be there. Arguably, this happens rarely enough to be a good trade-off
for reduced latency. One possible solution is a "next frame is expected
to be heavy" function which manually increases max render time for the
next frame. This would avoid this single dropped frame at the start of
complex animations.

A simply wrapper around `CoglTexture`, making it easy to reuse
content without roundtrip from GPU to CPU memory and back.
It optionally takes a clip rectangle which is implemented by
creating a `CoglSubTexture`. A limitation here is that floating

When using `CLUTTER_PAINT=damage-region` highlighting was conspicuously
absent during fullscreen animations like entering or leaving the
overview. That was because `queued_redraw_clip` was empty, because it
had been initialized from `redraw_clip == NULL` (full stage redraw).
Now we paint the damage region as the full view (which it is) instead
of nothing at all.

All pointer a11y is a fabrication of Clutter backend-independent
code, with the help of a ClutterVirtualInputDevice and with some
UI on top.
On the other hand, MetaInputSettings is a backend implementation
detail, this has 2 gotchas:
- In the native backend, the MetaInputSettings (and pointer a11y
with it) are initialized early, before the ClutterSeat core
pointer is set up.
- Doing this from the MetaInputSettings also means another dubious
access from the input thread into main thread territory.
Move the pointer a11y into ClutterSettings, making this effectively
backend-independent business, invariably done from the main thread
and ensured to happen after seat initialization.

Since commit d2f8a30625 we use Graphene to union paint volumes, it
turns out a quite severe issue snuck in during review of that MR though:
Unioned paint volumes (so paint volumes of any actors with children) now
have negative heights. Once projected to 2d coordinates they luckily are
correct again, which is why everything is still working.
The problem is that obvious once looking closer: For the y coordinates
of the unioned paint volume we confused the maximum and the minimum
points and simply used the wrong coordinates to create the unioned paint
volume.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1827>
The graphene functions used by clutter for picking assume that boxes are
inclusive in both there start and end coordinates, so picking at y
coordinate 32 for an actor with the height 32 placed at y coordinate 0
would still be considered a hit. This however is wrong as 32 is the
first position that is not in the actor anymore.
Usually this would not be much of a problem, because motion events are
rarely ever at exactly these borders and even if they are there will be
another motion event soon after. But since actors in gnome-shell usually
are aligned with the pixel grid and on X11 enter/leave events are
generated by the X server at integer coordinates, this case is much
more likely for those.
This can cause issues with Firefox which when using client side
decorations, still requests MWM_DECOR_BORDER via _MOTIF_WM_HINTS to have
mutter draw a border + shadow. This means that the Firefox window even
when using CSD is still reparented. For such windows we receive among
others XI_RawMotion and XI_Enter events, but no XI_Motion events. And
the raw motion events are discarded after an enter event, because that
sets has_pointer_focus to TRUE in MetaSeatX11. So when moving the cursor
from the panel to a maximized Firefox window the last event clutter
receives is the enter event at exactly integer coordinates. Since the
panel is 32px tall and the generated enter event is at y position 32,
the picking code will pick a panel actor and the focus will remain on it
as long as the cursor does not leave the Firefox window.
Fix this by excluding the bottom and right border of a box when picking.

Turns out ClutterClones need a bit of extra handling as always, there's
currently nothing that invalidates a clones paint volume when the source
actors paint volume changes.
Since ClutterClones get_paint_volume() implementation simply takes the
source actors paint volume and returns that, we should make sure they
are kept in sync and invalidate the clones paint volume as soon as the
source actor gets its PV invalidated.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1829>
Updating the last_paint_volume while painting has proven itself to be
quite prone to issues: First we had to make sure actors painted by
offscreen effects get their last_paint_volumes updated correctly (see
0320649a1c), and now a new issue turned up
where we don't update the paint volumes while a fullscreen unredirect is
happening.
To stop those issues from happening and to lay the foundation for using
the last_paint_volume for other things, update the last_paint_volume in
a separate step before painting instead of doing it in
clutter_actor_paint().
To save some resources, avoid introducing another traversal of the
scenegraph and add that step into the existing step of updating the
stage_views lists of actors. To properly update the paint volumes, we
need to do that after finishing the queued redraws, which is why we move
clutter_stage_maybe_finish_queue_redraws() to happen before the new
clutter_stage_finish_layout().

The priv->paint_volume field of ClutterActor stores the cached paint
volume in the actors local coordinate system. It consist of the actors
paint volume itself and the union of all children paint volumes.
We want to invalidate those cached paint volumes according to the
following rules:
- If an actors transformation matrix changes, all paint volumes of the
parent-tree need to be invalidated (that's because the parent-volumes
have unioned the actors paint volume). Our own paint volume does not
need invalidation since the transformation matrix is not applied to it.
- If an actors allocation-size changes, its own paint volume and all the
volumes of the parent-tree need to be invalidated. That's because the
allocation-size is used as the size of the paint volume.
- If a clip gets set or clip_to_allocation gets enabled for an actor,
its own paint volume and all the volumes of the parent-tree need to be
invalidated. That's because the clip is factored in when creating the
paint volume.
So far we did this invalidation in various places and the invalidation
up the parent-tree happened inside clutter_actor_real_queue_relayout().
We did not invalidate on changes to the actors transformation matrices
and the invalidation in clutter_actor_real_queue_relayout() was more
like a "big hammer" that probably invalidated unnecessarily a few times.
So introduce proper infrastructure to invalidate those cached paint
volumes of actors only in the cases where they actually need to be
invalidated. To do that, we reuse the transform_changed() function and
introduce a new function queue_update_paint_volume() that invalidates
the paint volumes up the actor tree.

ClutterActors can override the get_paint_volume() vfunc in case they
draw outside the allocation. That's used by a bunch of actors, for
example ClutterText or StViewport in gnome-shell.
In case of StViewport, the paint volume returned depends on the value of
the StAdjustment, which means when we start to cache paint volumes more
agressively in ClutterActor, we'll need to add API that allows
StViewport to invalidate the paint volume. So introduce
clutter_actor_invalidate_paint_volume() to invalidate the cached paint
volume.

The action might not have been triggered yet, as per its trigger

We might want to perform distance/threshold checks in the ::prepare
vfunc, but we didn't record the last motion event yet. This used to
give a delta of 0/0 between the press and last motion coordinates,
despite the ClutterGestureAction having a trigger threshold. This
happens no longer.

The usage of clutter_actor_get_preferred_width/height() for building the
pick box can trigger Clutters size negotiation machinery in case the
allocation of the actor is invalidated, with commit 82f3bdd1 we worked
around that by excluding actors with invalidated allocations from
picking.
There's no need to do that though, when picking we always want to
operate on the last known allocation of the actor, since that is what's
actually painted on the screen.
So instead of not picking at all when an actors allocation is
invalidated, just use the size of the last allocation. We still have to
factor in one extra case, that's when an actor hasn't gotten any
allocation yet: In that case we want to exclude the actor from picking
since the actor is not on the screen yet.
This fixes a regression introduced by the commit mentioned above where
picking wouldn't work on windows that have just been resized.

Some events such as the proximity one requires a device to be set before
we process them, so ensure we process the event details after we've

The CallyStage objects lifetime is tied to the stage, so if we add a
weak pointer to it, we won't be able to remove it, as we would try to do
so not until the stage itself is being disposed, at which point removing
it fails. However, not removing it will make the stage try to clean up
the weak refs, and since it does this more or less directly after
freeing the cally stage, it ends up writing NULL to freed memory,
causing memory corruption.
Fix this by avoiding adding the weak pointer when that pointer is to the
stage.
