Split up the X11 backend into two parts, one for running as a
Compositing Manager, and one for running as a nested Wayland
compositor.
This commit also cleans up the compositor configuration calculation,
attempting to make it more approachable.

In order to minimize the amount of breakage, while at the same time
making it easier to make backward incompatible changes needed to
continue turning libmutter into a capable Wayland compositor, make the
libmutter and friends (libmutter-clutter, libmutter-cogl*) parallel
installable by adding a version number to the name. This changes
various filenames, for example what previously was libmutter.so is now
libmutter-0.so (assuming the version for now is 0), and
libmutter-clutter-1.0.so is now libmutter-clutter-0.so. The pkg-config
filenames and GObject introspection has been renamed to reflect this as
well.
This enables a downstream compositor rely on a specific version of the
libmutter API, while gracefully handling API/ABI changes by having to
update to the new version at their own pace.

MetaMonitorConfigStore provides an XML storage mechanism for
MetaMonitorConfigManager. It stores configuration files defined in the
same level as the MetaMonitorsConfig format, i.e. refers to high level
"monitors" and "monitor modes" instead of connectors and CRTCs.
Only reading custom files are implemented and so far unused.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The new monitor configuration system (MetaMonitorConfigManager) aims to
replace the current MetaMonitorConfig. The main difference between the
two is that MetaMonitorConfigManager works with higher level input
(MetaMonitor, MetaMonitorMode) instead of directly looking at the CRTC
and connector state. It still produces CRTC and connector configuration
later applied by the respective backends.
Other difference the new system aims to introduce is that the
configuration system doesn't manipulate the monitor manager state; that
responsibility is left for the monitor manager to handle (it only
manages configuration and creates CRTC/connector assignments, it
doesn't apply anything).
The new configuration system allows backends to not rely on deriving the
current configuration from the CRTC/connector state, as this may no longer be
possible (i.e. when using KMS and multiple framebuffers).
The MetaMonitorConfigManager system is so far disabled by default, as
it does not yet have all the features of the old system, but eventually
it will replace MetaMonitorConfig which will at that point be removed.
This will make it possible to remove old hacks introduced due to
limitations in the old system.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
Generate a set of "monitors" abstracting the physical concepts. Each
monitor is built up of one or more outputs; multiple outputs being
tiled monitors. Logical monitors will later be built from these.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
This commit adds for a new type of buffer being attached to a Wayland
surface: buffers from an EGLStream. These buffers behave very
differently from regular Wayland buffers; instead of each buffer
reperesenting an actual frame, the same buffer is attached over and
over again, and EGL API is used to switch the content of the OpenGL
texture associated with the buffer attached. It more or less
side-tracks the Wayland buffer handling.
It is implemented by creating a MetaWaylandEglStream object, dealing
with the EGLStream state. The lifetime of the MetaWaylandEglStream is
tied to the texture object (CoglTexture), which is referenced-counted
and owned by both the actors and the MetaWaylandBuffer.
When the buffer is reattached and committed, the EGLStream is triggered
to switch the content of the associated texture to the new content.
This means that one cannot keep old texture content around without
copying, so any feature relying on that will effectively be broken.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773629
Add a new object class, MetaWaylandInputDevice, and make all device
classes (pointer, keyboard, touch) inherit it. In the future common

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771305
Some output devices only advertise their preferred mode even though
they're able to display others too. This means we can include some
common modes in each output's supported list.
This is particularly important for mirroring, since we can only mirror
outputs which are using the same resolution.

Port the xdg_shell implementation to use the unstable v6 protocol. This
includes:
- making xdg_surface a generic base interface for xdg_shell surface
roles
- create a xdg_toplevel role replacing the old xdg_surface
- change the xdg_opup role to be based on xdg_surface
- make xdg_popup not grab by default
- add support for xdg_positioner
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769936
Instead of piping the protocol file content to wayland-scanner, pass
the file name as an argument. This enables a new enough wayland-scanner
to print more meaningful error messages.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769936
This commits adds support for exporting xdg_surface handles via
xdg_exporter and importing them via xdg_importer.
This bumps the required wayland-protocols version to 1.6.

This object represents the collection of buttons, strips and rings
in a tablet pad. All the objects created (pad, strips and rings)
share a common focus surface and have the same lifetime.
This is a simple subclass of MetaWaylandSurfaceRoleCursor, mostly
so we can distinguish by GType, the methods in the parent class
still apply and are useful.
Add support for drawing a stage using multiple framebuffers each making
up one part of the stage. This works by the stage backend
(ClutterStageWindow) providing a list of views which will be for
splitting up the stage in different regions.
A view layout, for now, is a set of rectangles. The stage window (i.e.
stage "backend" will use this information when drawing a frame, using
one framebuffer for each view. The scene graph is adapted to explictly
take a view when painting the stage. It will use this view, its
assigned framebuffer and layout to offset and clip the drawing
accordingly.
This effectively removes any notion of "stage framebuffer", since each
stage now may consist of multiple framebuffers. Therefore, API
involving this has been deprecated and made no-ops; namely
clutter_stage_ensure_context(). Callers are now assumed to either
always use a framebuffer reference explicitly, or push/pop the
framebuffer of a given view where the code has not yet changed to use
the explicit-buffer-using cogl API.
Currently only the nested X11 backend supports this mode fully, and the
per view framebuffers are all offscreen. Upon frame completion, it'll
blit each view's framebuffer onto the onscreen framebuffer before
swapping.
Other backends (X11 CM and native/KMS) are adapted to manage a
full-stage view. The X11 CM backend will continue to use this method,
while the native/KMS backend will be adopted to use multiple view
drawing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768976
Split the stage window implementations into three separate objects: one
for X11 as a compositing manager, one for X11 running as a nested
Wayland compositor, and one for running with the native backend.
The new stage window implementations are only thin shells; this is in
preparation for making the stage windows behave more differently.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768976
Instead of passing around the KMS file descriptor via clutter to cogl,
just make our own clutter backend create the cogl renderer and set the
KSM fd.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768976
MetaRenderer is meant to be the object responsible for rendering the
scene graph. It will contain the logic related to the cogl winsys
backend, the clutter backend, and the clutter stage window.

Introduce two new clutter backends: MetaClutterBackendX11 and
MetaClutterBackendNative. They are so far only wrap ClutterBackendX11
and ClutterBackendEglNative respectively, but the aim is to move things
from the original clutter backends when needed.

This struct keeps the server side information for the wl_tablet_manager
global resource. It keeps the clients requesting this interface, and
does keep track of the plugged tablet devices, so
wl_tablet_manager.device_added is emitted on the expected clients.
Move into a standalone meta-wayland-surface-role-cursor.[ch], and
make generic enough to work for pointe and additional (eg. tablet)
cursors.
Most notably, the sprite is now kept completely internal to the
cursor role, and updates are routed through the given
MetaCursorRenderer (which may be the default one for the pointer,
or something else).
The way cursor updates after cursor surface destruction has also
been reworked, the pointer will just keep track of the last cursor
surface, so older surfaces being destroyed don't trigger pointer
rechecks/updates.
Move xdg_shell related functionality to a new meta-wayland-xdg-shell.c
and wl_shell related functionality to a new meta-wayland-wl-shell.c,
and adapt role object tree.
Common functionality related to the surface being drawn as a
MetaSurfaceActor was moved to a MetaWaylandSurfaceRoleActorSurface role.
The subsurface role GObject is made to inherit the actor surface GObject.
Shell surface hooks (configure, ping, close, popup done) were added to
a MetaWaylandSurfaceRoleShellSurface GObject which inherits the
surface actor role GObject.
The shell surface roles (xdg_surface, xdg_popup, wl_shell_surface) are
made to inherit the shell surface GObject and implement the relevant
API.

This protocol is an internal mirror of the primary selection drafts
being proposed for wayland-protocols. No changes besides prefix/suffix

This is kind of in a middle ground at the moment. Even though it
handles sequences not coming from libsn, they're added nowhere at
the moment, we'll rely on the app launch context being in the x11
side at the moment.
Also, even though we do create internal sequence objects, we keep
exposing SnStartupSequences to make gnome-shell happy, we could
consider making this object "public" (and the sequence objects with
it), things stay private at the moment.

The wp_pointer_constraints protocol is a protocol which enables clients
to manipulate the behavior of the pointer cursor associated with a seat.
Currently available constraints are locking the pointer to a static
position, and confining the pointer to a given region.
Currently locking is fully implemented, and confining is implemented for
rectangular confinement regions.
What else is lacking is less troublesome semantics for enabling the lock
or confinement; currently the only requirement implemented is that the
window that appears focused is the one that may aquire the lock.
This means that a pointer could be 'stolen' by creating a new window that
receives active focus, or when using focus-follows-mouse, a pointer
passes a window that has requested a lock. This semantics can be changed
and the protocol itself allows any semantics as seems fit.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744104
In order to reuse some vector math for pointer confinement, move out
those parts to its own file, introducing the types old types
"MetaVector2" and "MetaLine2" outside of meta-barrier-native.c, as well
as introducing MetaBorder which is a line, with a blocking direction.

Add support for sending relative pointer motion deltas to clients who
request such events by creating wp_relative_pointer objects via
wp_relative_pointer_manager.
This currently implements the unstable version 1 from wayland-protocols.

Use the xdg_shell XML file installed by wayland-protocols instead of
our own copy. This protocol has yet to go through any unstable naming,
but since we had an outdated (though wire compatible) version, some
minor changes were needed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758633
Remove our own copy of the pointer gestures protocol, and us the one
installed by wayland-protocols. This also means the new fixed unstable
naming conventions are used for the new version of the protocol, which
is reflected in the change. No functional changes were made, it is only
a rename.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758633
Use a specialized cursor renderer when running as a nested Wayand
compositor. This new renderer sets an empty X11 cursor and draws the
cursor as part of the stage using the generic cursor renderer drawing
path.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744932
There is nothing special about the private API which only consists of
getters for renderer specific backing buffer. Lets them to the regular
.h file and treat them as part of the normal API.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744932
The global wl_pointer_gestures object is now created, effectively
bridging pinch/swipe gestures with clients, so they're now
accessible to clients implementing the protocol.
If GL advertises this extension we'll use it to synchronize X with GL
rendering instead of relying on the XSync() behavior with open source
drivers.
Some driver bugs were uncovered while working on this so if we have
had to reboot the ring a few times, something is probably wrong and
we're likely to just make things worse by continuing to try. Let's
err on the side of caution, disable ourselves and fallback to the
XSync() path in the compositor.

The elementary guys would like this as an API, and I don't see any
reason to refuse -- this is quite nice shadow painting code :)
For some reason, gobject-introspection can't seem to cope with
MetaWindowShape. I'll look into it a bit later, but for now, mark
the function it has trouble with as (skip).
Firstly, this patch makes MetawaylandDataSource a GObject. This is in
order to easier track its lifetime without adding destroy signals etc. It
also makes the vfunc table GObject class functions instead while at it,
as well as moves protocol specific part of the source into their own
implementations.
An important part of this patch is the change of ownership. Prior to this
patch, MetaWaylandDataDevice would kind of own the source, but for
Wayland sources it would remove it if the corresponding wl_resource was
destroyed. For XWayland clients it would own it completely, and only
remove it if the source was replaced.
This patch changes so that the protocol implementation owns the source.
For Wayland sources, the wl_resource owns the source, and the
MetaWaylandDataDevice sets a weak reference (so in other words, no
semantical changes really). For XWayland sources, the source is owned by
the selection bridge, and not removed until replaced or if the client
goes away.
Given the changes in ownership, data offers may now properly track the
lifetime of a source it represents. Prior to this patch, if an offer with
an XWayland source would loose its source, it wouldn't get notified and
have an invalid pointer it would potentally crash on. For Wayland
sources, an offer would have a weak reference and clean itself up if the
source went away. This patch changes so the behavior is consistent,
meaning a weak reference is added to the source GObject so that the offer
can behave correctly both for Wayland sources and XWayland sources.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750680
This piece of code hooks in both wl_data_device and the relevant X
selection events, an X11 Window is set up so it can act as the clipboard
owner when any wayland client owns the selection, reacting to
SelectionRequest events, and returning the data from the wayland client
FD to any X11 requestor through X properties.
In the opposite direction, SelectionNotify messages are received,
which results in the property contents being converted then written
into the wayland requestor's FD.
This code also takes care of the handling incremental transfers through
the INCR property type, reading/writing data chunk by chunk.

We'll want to expose popup logic outside of meta-wayland-pointer.c and
one day we'll also probably want to add touch support for popups, so
lets move it to its own file. There are no significant semantical
changes, only refactoring.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744452
This just exposes the type and the singleton getter necessary to make
it available to introspection. We'll expose more functionality as it
becomes needed.

When running as a dispay server pointer barriers are a server side
feature and requires no client interaction of any sort. This patch
implements pointer barriers that can be used when running as a display
server on the native backend. Running as a display server using the X11
backend is currently not supported.

This goes through modifying XI2 device properties, either common ones (eg.
set on every device) or those specific to the libinput X11 driver. Keyboard
repeat/rate are set through core and XKB APIs.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739397
This object internally keeps track of the relevant input configuration,
and goes through its vmethods in order to apply the configuration on the
backend-specific devices.
So far, only mouse/touchpad settings are actually attached to GSettings
changes. ::set_matrix(), meant for tablets/touchscreens, is not hooked
yet.
One caveat is that meta_input_settings_create() may return NULL if the
backend does not own the windowing system (wayland nested on X11 being
the one case), and thus device settings can't be changed freely.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739397
This patch removes the X11 specific code from MetaBarrier and creates an
abstraction layer MetaBarrierImpl. The existing X11 implementation is
moved to a new GObject MetaBarrierImplX11 implementing the abstract
interface MetaBarrierImpl which is instantiated by MetaBarrier when
supported.
While at it, move it to backends/ and properly name the files.

Rest in peace you magnificent format, love-child of arcane X11 drawing
API and markup craze, you will not be missed.

their work will still be spoken of when you will long have been forgotten.

This actor is a subclass of MetaFeedbackActor that additionally
implements the "drag failed" animation, snapping back to the drag
origin position in a surface.
This actor is a non-reactive container that autoembeds itself into
the feedback window group in the compositor. The API is meant to
help on creating things attached to pointer/touchpoints, with an
X/Y attachment offset, and following the position of certain events.
Add a basic framework for tests of Mutter handling of client behavior;
mutter-test-runner is a Mutter-based compositor that forks off instances
of mutter-test-client and sends commands to them based on scripts.
The scripts also include assertions.
mutter-test-runner always runs in nested-Wayland mode since the separate
copy of Xwayland is helpful in giving a reliably clean X server to
test against.
Initially the commands and assertions are designed to test the stacking
behavior of Mutter, but the framework should be extensible to test other
parts of client behavior like focus.
The tests are installed according to:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
if --enable-installed-tests is passed to configure. You can run them
uninstalled with:
cd src && make run-tests
(Not in 'make check' to avoid breaking 'make distcheck' if Mutter can't be
run nested.)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736505
The old requirement that multiple MetaBackgroundActor objects be
layered on top of each to produce blended backgrounds resulted in
extremely inefficient drawing since the entire framebuffer had
to be read and written multiple times.
* Replace the MetaBackground ClutterContent with a plain GObject
that serves to hold the background parameters and prerender
textures to be used to draw the background. It handles
colors, gradients, and blended images, but does not handle
vignetting
* Add vignetting to MetaBackgroundActor directly.
* Add MetaBackgroundImage and MetaBackgroundImageCache to allow
multiple MetaBackground objects to share the same images
By removing the usage of ClutterContent, the following optimizations
were easy to add:
Blending is turned off when the actor is fully opaque
Nearest-neighbour filtering is used when drawing 1:1
The GLSL vignette code is slightly improved to use a vertex shader
snippet for computing the texture coordinate => position in actor
mapping.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735637
This removes our Xwayland dependency in the native path. The direct
grabs are still there for the X11 backend and are a bit disgusting,
but that's OK. We can refactor it out later.
This introduces some pretty lousy hackery because it depends on
https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/pull/10 , and I really
don't want to wait on that to squash this dep.
This allows creating the stage much earlier than it otherwise would have
been. Our initialization sequence has always been a bit haphazard, with
first the MetaBackend created, then the MetaDisplay, and inside of that,
the MetaScreen and MetaCompositor.
Refactor this out so that the MetaBackend creates the Clutter
stage. Besides the clarity of early initialization, we now have much
easier access to the stage, allowing us to use it for things such as
key focus and beyond.
The current GNOME Shell Alt-F2 restart looks very messy and also
provides no indication to the user what is going on. We need to
restart the compositor to switch in and out of stereo mode, so
add a framework for doing this more cleanly:
Additions:
meta_restart(): restarts the compositor with a message
MetaDisplay::show-restart-message: signal the embedding
shell to show a message
MetaDisplay::restart: signal the embedding shell to restart
itself.
meta_is_restart(): indicates whether the current instance is a
restart so we can suppress login animations.
A helper program meta-restart-helper holds the composite overlay
window up during the restart to avoid visual artifacts.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733026
These just spam up our logs, and they aren't getting fixed any time
soon for a variety of reasons. Just disable them to ensure that really
important warnings get noticed and fixed.
This object tracks both touch sequences happening on the stage and
gestures attached to the stage actor. When a gesture emits
::gesture-begin, All triggering sequences and future ones will be
marked as "accepted" by the compositor, and events will be listened
for meanwhile there are active gestures.
If a sequence goes unclaimed for a short time, it will be
automatically "denied", and punted to the client or shell element
below.
Avoid populating *_VERSION constants through cflags in pkg-config-file
which could be overridden by the project using it. Properly prefix the
defines with META_ to make gi-scanner happy.
Clutter touch events are translated into events being sent down
the interface resource, with the exception of FRAME/CANCEL events,
which are handled directly via an evdev event filter.
The seat now announces invariably the WL_SEAT_CAPABILITY_TOUCH
capability, this should be eventually updated as devices come and
go.
The creation of MetaWaylandTouchSurface structs is dynamic, attached
to the lifetime of first/last touch on the client surface, and only
if the surface requests the wl_touch interface. MetaWaylandTouchInfo
structs are created to track individual touches, and are locked to
a single MetaWaylandTouchSurface (the implicit grab surface) determined
on CLUTTER_TOUCH_BEGIN.
