Makes sure that monitor specs which may be read from EDID data do not
contain characters that are invalid in XML. Makes it possible to restore
monitor configs of monitor models with characters such as '&' in them.
To make this change not break any tests, the sample monitor configs need
to be adjusted as well. Apostrophes don't strictly have to be escaped in
XML text elements. However, we now do escape the elements in
`<monitorspec>` specifically.

If the monitor configuration changed, even though the streamed monitor
didn't change, we'd still fail to continue streaming, as we failed to
update the stage watchers, meaning we wouldn't be notified about when
the stage views were painted.
Fix this by reattaching the stage watches, i.e. update the painted
signalling listeners to listen to the right views, when monitor changes
happens.

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
state, so that we know how to reconfigure upon resuming, e.g. what CRTCs
to turn off again.

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.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1488>
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.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1488>
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.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1488>
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

This makes it possible to post a symbolic page flip and frame callback,

Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1488>
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.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1488>
Instead of setting the frame result in the most generic layer, have the
backends do it themselves. This is necessary to communicate that a

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
result of page flips, mode sets etc can be communicated whenever it is
available.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1488>
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.

The way drm events are handled depends on whether we're using atomic or

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
changed the fb first, then updated the assignment again only changing
the position, the new assignment should not be flagged with
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
work; thus, wait with updating the cursor so that it's applied together

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.

Page flipping shouldn't necessarily be an actively requested action, but

This will later make it possible to pass cursor plane assignments,

If posting an update resulted in an immediate error, don't communicate
this failure using the page flip feedback callbacks, but directly as a
return value.
This makes it possible for the direct client buffer scanout path not to
pass around flags triggering this behavior, meaning we can handle such
direct scanouts better.

Instead of a "post all pending updates", pass an update specific to a
single device. This gets rid of the awkward "combine feedback" function,
and makes it possible to queue updates to a multiple devices without
always posting them together.

Custom page flips are meant to allow using e.g. EGLStream API to
indirectly trigger page flip queueing, when the KMS API cannot be used
directly. This is really something that is specific to a device, so

the update itself.

This commit consolidates DRM buffer management to the MetaDrmBuffer
types, where the base type handles the common functionality (such as
managing the framebuffer id using drmModeAdd*/RMFb()), and the sub types
their corresponding type specific behavior.

For now feedbacks from an update are combined, meaning we might lose
error information. The feedback API may have to be reconsidered and
redesigned when planes gets a more front seat position.
This means we need to avoid trying to post updates if we're in power
save mode, as it may be empty.
Note that this is an intermediate state during refactoring that aims to
introduce atomic mode setting support, and we'll stop combining
feedbacks completely in the future.

We can't post tasks to the input thread when cleaning up the
MetaSeatImpl, as that will make the GTask complain about adding

meta_seat_impl_destroy() function that handles the destruction of the
MetaSeatImpl properly.
This also does more of the cleanup in the input thread, as that is where
it was managed. Will likely not make a difference as before this
happened after tearing down the thread, but lets tear down things in the

We didn't tear down the libinput objects in the right thread when
exiting, but did so after the input thread exited.
We also tried to destroy the libinput devices after the libinput context
was destroyed, which isn't allowed.
Fix these two issues by tearing down the libinput objects in a input
thread task that when done exits the input thread. This effectively
"flushes" the input thread tasks while destroying the libinput objects
just before the thread exits.
While it might fine to tear down libinput objects in an arbitrary (main
in this case) thread while making sure nothing pokes at it in parallel
(e.g. the input thread is gone), libinput is by definition single
threaded, and could theoretically make assumptions about this, and we
shouldn't cause any possible surprises here, so make sure to destroy it
all in the right thread.
This fixes an abort() on exit caused by an assert about invalid object
destruction in libinput.

Currently, the NotifyPointerAxis method always assumes that the scroll
source is CLUTTER_SCROLL_SOURCE_FINGER.
This is however not always true and in some cases a remote desktop
client needs to submit a PointerAxis event with a custom axis step.
This is for example the case with high resolution mouse wheels, where
the NotifyPointerAxisDiscrete method is unsuitable.
In such cases NotifyPointerAxis needs to be called, but with the
intention that the scroll source is still a mouse wheel.
To solve this situation, don't assume the scroll source always to be
CLUTTER_SCROLL_SOURCE_FINGER.
Instead, add further flag options to NotifyPointerAxis, which allow a
remote desktop client to choose the scroll source.
This way a remote desktop client can choose what scroll source is the
most suitable one for the current scroll event.

To clear a pointer constraint, the Wayland backend passes a NULL

MetaInputSettings and MetaKeymap objects are now considered owned by

The MetaEventSource now dispatches events in a GMainContext that is
the thread default to this thread, and all UI-thread-accessible API
(seat and virtual input device API) will be handled in a serialized
manner by that same input thread.
The MetaSeatImpl itself is still considered to be owned by the caller
thread, and all the signals that this object emits will be emitted in
