All that is left in the "public" struct is all state that ClutterStage
delegates on ClutterInputDevice. That should move somewhere else, but
not here, not now.
All private fields belong to construct-only properties, with only getter
API, and idempotent vmethods (except keyboard a11y, atm). This should
be enough to make ClutterInputDevice obviously thread safe, outside the
backend.

This API is the one accessed from different bits of the UI thread,
make it "async" (it's basically one-way setters, so API stays the same
in the surface) and able to run in the MetaSeatImpl main context.

Simplify the handling of numlock state, so it can be entirely handled
within the input thread. Since the saving/restoring is triggered inside
each backend code, there's no need anymore for meta_backend_set_numlock().

Push it a little bit down to the MetaSeatNative. As both the UI thread
and the input thread are interested in dealing with the xkb_keymap and
it is not meant to be used in different threads, keep 2 separate copies
around.
The keyboard map will always be set from the UI thread, so the xkb_keymap
owned by the MetaSeatNative (owned by the UI thread) can be considered
canonical.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Don't let the vfuncs (meant to be called from the UI thread) deal with
xkb state itself. Instead store the current state in struct fields, which
is then fetched in vfuncs.
This makes the keymap able to be used from the UI thread, while being
maintained by the input thread. Same caveats apply than
clutter_seat_query_state(), you are asking for the most up-to-date state,
but it still may be changing under your feet.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Wrap all keyboard state updates, and all pointer/stylus/touch cursor
position with a write lock, and ::query_state() (The only entrypoint
to this state from other threads) with a read lock.
The principle is that query_state may be called from different threads
(UI so far, but maybe KMS too in the future), while the input thread
may (or may not) be updating it. This state is fetched "atomically"
(eg. x/y will be consistently old or new, if the input thread were
updating it at the same time).
There's other places deep in backends/native that read this state,
they all will run in the input thread, so they count as "other readers"
to the other thread. Those changes are already mutually exclusive with
updates, so they don't explicitly need the RW lock.

While barriers will be added from the main thread, the native barrier
manager will sit close to the MetaSeatImpl in its own thread. Add the
necessary locking so that we can pass MetaBarrierImplNative from the
UI thread to the input thread, and ensure the MetaBarrier signals are
still emitted in the UI thread.

Depending on the backend, we want to integrate this object at different
levels. It will sit close to the MetaBackendX11/MetaSeatX11 in X11, but
it will be put deep down with MetaSeatImpl in the native backend, in a
separate thread.
Since we can't depend on a single object type, nor are able to track
ClutterSeat signals neatly, make this API something to be called
explicitly by backends.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
These changes will happen in the input event management code, so let them
be emitted via the MetaSeatImpl, as that's what we'll have neat access to.
The ClutterSeat signals are now emitted from there.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Move most of the functional bits (those meant to run on a standalone
thread) to a MetaSeatImpl object. This object is managed by the MetaSeatImpl
and not exposed outside the friend MetaSeatNative/MetaInputDeviceNative/
MetaInputSettings classes.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Banish MetaInputSettings from MetaBackend "public" API, it's now meant to
spend the rest of its days in the backend dungeons, maybe hanging
off a thread.
MetaInputMapper replaces all external uses.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Delegate on the MetaInputMapper all matching of inputs and outputs,
including configuration. Other secondary aspects, like output
aspect ratio for tablet letterbox mode, or toggling attached devices
with power saving changes, are also moved here.
This makes MetaInputSettings independent of MetaMonitorManager,
all interaction with it happens indirectly via public API entrypoints.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Rename the set_tablet_keep_aspect() vfunc into a set_tablet_aspect_ratio()
one that takes an aspect ratio double, instead of leaking monitor info
into subclasses to let them all figure out this number themselves.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
We have 2 sources (this one in MetaSeatNative, and the one in
MetaBackend) dispatching ClutterEvents to the stage. Make the
MetaSeatNative one exclusively about dispatching the libinput
queue, and leave ClutterEvents to the other.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
This will resort to SW rendering if this cursor renderer does not
own the MetaKmsCursorRenderer, so it's pretty much equivalent thus
far, except we may now implement logic to flip the kms cursor renderer
around.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
We actually have a set_send_events() vfunc that can enable or disable
devices at the libinput and X11 input driver level, so use that. A
positive side effect is that those layers will leave the device at
a consistent idle state (as opposed to going mute maybe amid user
input).
