This commit allows outputs that need a CRTC to steal it from
user-disabled outputs. Note that in the case there are enough
CRTCs, disabled outputs don't loose it (so there's no modeset
and plane initialization needed after DPMS). CRTC allocation
still prefers to keep the old configuration, even if that means
allocating an extra CRTC to a disabled output.
CRTC reallocation now happen when enabling/disabling an output as
well as when trying to modeset. When enabling an output without a
CRTC, we realloc to try to steal a CRTC from a disabled output
(that doesn't really need the CRTC). When disabling an output, we
try to give our CRTC to an output that needs one. Modesetting is
similar to enabling.
A new DRM connector field has been added: `desired_enabled`.
Outputs without CRTCs get automatically disabled. This field keeps
track of the state desired by the user, allowing to automatically
re-enable outputs when a CRTC becomes free.
This required some changes to the allocation algorithm. Previously,
the algorithm tried to keep the previous configuration even if a
new configuration with a better score was possible (it only changed
configuration when the old one didn't work anymore). This is now
changed and the old configuration (still preferred) is only
retained without considering new possibilities when it's perfect
(all outputs have CRTCs).
User-disabled outputs now have `possible_crtcs` set to 0, meaning
they can only retain a previous CRTC (not acquire a new one). The
allocation algorithm has been updated to do not bump the score
when assigning a CRTC to a disabled output.
This commit implements device type discovery by calling two ioctls
(DRM_IOCTL_VERSION and EVIOCGVERSION) on the device. These iocts are
specific to drm and input devices respectively, therefore we can
determine the device type based on which one returns an error.
This commit handles better situations in which the number of
connected outputs is greater than the number of available CRTCs.
It'll enable as many outputs as possible, and transfer CRTCs to
outputs that need one on unplug.
This changes CRTC and plane reallocation to happen after scanning
DRM connectors instead of on modeset.
This cleanups CRTCs and planes on unplug to allow them to be
re-used for other outputs.
On modeset, if an output doesn't have a CRTC, the desired mode is
saved and used later when the output gains a CRTC.
Future work includes giving priority to enabled outputs over
disabled ones for CRTC allocation. This requires the compositor to
know about all outputs (even outputs without CRTCs) to properly
modeset outputs enabled in the compositor config file and disable
outputs disabled in the config file.
The VT the compositor was started from was not activated after exiting
the compositor, which resulted in arriving on a blank VT. This commit
fixes that by introducing a new field in direct_session struct that
stores the last active VT so that it can be activated in
direct_session_destroy.
This prevents receiving modesetting requests from the compositor
while we don't have the whole picture (ie. while we haven't yet
scanned all connectors).
This also makes connectors without CRTCs disabled (they can't be
enabled yet even if some CRTCs are free'd -- this is future work).
A few pedantic changes and unused variables (1-4), and genuine bugs (5,
6).

If close_timeout != 0, but simulate_activity_timeout >= close_timeout,
the program would segfault at pthread_cancel(t1).
The major device number does not indicate the device type on FreeBSD,
and AFAIK the only way to differentiate between DRM, input, and other
devices is checking the fd path. This commit implements that.
The drmDropmaster and drmSetmaster calls are necessary, because the
implicit drop (that should occur when the DRM fd is closed) seems not
to be working in some scenarios (e.g. if you have a tmux session
running - maybe the fd is retained somehow by tmux?). This is a
problem, because once you exit the compositor, you can't start it (or
any other program that wants to be DRM master) again until you close
all your tmux sessions.
On some systems (most notably laptops with two GPUs) there are GPUs that
don't have attached outputs. However, we still want to load those GPUs
because they could still be used by the compositor for rendering.
All screens on secondary GPU in multiple GPU configurations
was flipped 180.
The flipped screens was always on secondary card (the primary card
was always correct).
Tested on nouveau with:
WLR_DRM_DEVICES=/dev/dri/card1:/dev/dri/card2
WLR_DRM_DEVICES=/dev/dri/card2:/dev/dri/card1
The commit is fixing this problem. Now all screens are "normal".
backend_get_renderer() is now returning the renderer of the primary GPU, instead
of its own renderer, since that's the thing which actually does all of the "real"
rendering
wlr_multi_backend_add() is now adding all subbackends (otherwise only one GPU
is handled).
