The name "allow_artifacts" and associated description is very vague, and
theoretically allow for tearing behavior. Clarify that we only intend to
mean artifacts related to output configuration (e.g., modesets).

DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC doesn't allow user-space to submit new
buffers before waiting for the uevent: the kernel will return EBUSY
in that case.
Fixes: c2aa7fd965 ("backend/drm: Add async page flip support to legacy")
Since e5fc8cd4c7 ("output: trigger frame/present events on all
commits on enabled output"), any commit on an enabled output is
supposed to trigger frame/present events.
The DRM backend was skipping the commit completely for no-op
commits. Stop doing so.
Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/issues/3719
Up until now, frame/present events were only triggered when the
user submitted a buffer. Change the wlr_output API so that these
events are triggered when any commit is applied on an enabled
output.

This changes the semantics of wlr_output_state. Instead of having
fields with uninitialized memory when missing from the committed
bitflag, all fields are always initialized (and maybe NULL/empty),
just like we do in wlr_surface_state. This reduces the chances of
footguns when reading a field, and removes the need to check for
the committed bitfield everywhere.
A new wlr_output_state_init() function takes care of initializing
the Pixman region.
We've had this struct for a while. It'd be useful for compositors
if they want to manage the swap chains themselves instead of being
forced to use wlr_output's. Some compositors might also want to use
a swapchain without an output.
Since 1d581656c7 ("backend/drm: set "max bpc" to the max") we
set the "max bpc" property to the maximum value. The kernel driver
is supposed to clamp this value depending on hardware capabilities.
All kernel drivers lower the value depending on the GPU capabilities.
However, none of the drivers lower the value depending on the DP-MST
link capabilities. Thus, enabling a 4k@60Hz mode can fail on some
DP-MST setups due to the "max bpc" property.
Additionally, it's not a good idea to unconditionally set "max bpc"
to the max. A high bpc consumes more lanes and more clock speed,
which means higher power consumption and the busy lanes cannot be
used for something else (e.g. other data transfers on a USB-C cable).
For now, let's tie the "max bpc" to the pixel format of the buffer.
Introduce a heuristic to make "high bit-depth buffer" a synonym of
"I want the best quality".
This is not perfect: a "max bpc" higher than 8 might be desirable
for pixel formats with a color depth of 8 bits, for instance when
the color management KMS properties are used. But we don't really
support that yet, so let's leave this for later.

We only need it for one thing: gamma size. Moreover, some bits in
the drmModeCrtc will become out-of-date, for instance the current
mode, so let's avoid caching the whole struct and only keep what
we know won't change.
connect_drm_connector() may be called long after create_drm_connector().
During that time the DRM mode might have changed. Avoid working with
stale information.
match_obj() might return a configuration where the CRTC for an
enabled connector is switched to another one.
We don't support this correctly: the wlr_output common code would
need to query again the supported formats, re-allocate the
swapchain, etc.
What's more, the kernel doesn't even support this [1]: it
requires planes to be disabled to change their CRTC, it rejects
commits directly switching the CRTC used by a plane.
[1]: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/drm-misc/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic.c?h=6e90293618ed476d6b11f82ce724efbb9e9a071b#n697
If the commit fails, then our local state becomes out-of-sync with
the kernel's. Additionally, when disabling a connector without going
through dealloc_crtc(), conn->crtc would still be set.
Fix this by updating conn->crtc in drm_connector_commit_state().
The raw enum value wasn't informative enough. It's not trivial to
tell whether 0 means connected or disconnected.
Drop the status from the state after realloc, since the exact same
information is printed right above.
Instead of having a pending_fb field on the struct wlr_drm_plane,
move it to struct wlr_drm_connector_state. That way, there's no
risk having a stale pending FB around: the state doesn't survive
across tests and commits.
The cursor is a special case because it's disconnected from the
atomic state: the wlr_backend_impl.set_cursor hook sets the cursor
for the next commit. Move the field to
wlr_drm_connector.cursor_pending_fb.
We'll move the pending primary FB into the connector state in the
next commit, dropping wlr_drm_plane.pending_fb in the process.
Introduce a dedicated field for the cursor, which has to be managed
in a special way due to our set_cursor API.
We were calling drm_connector_supports_vrr() before
drm_connector_alloc_crtc(). Thus, when an output is currently off,
the VRR test would always fail, because it checks that the
vrr_enabled CRTC prop exists.
The old drm_connector_set_mode() function did that by calling
drm_crtc_page_flip(). We lost this in the refactoring.
Fixes: f216e97983 ("backend/drm: drop drm_connector_set_mode()")
Once we are DRM master, the CRTC cannot be changed behind our back
except during a VT switch.
After a VT switch, we try to restore whatever KMS state we had last
programmed. Reloading the current CRTC from KMS breaks this and
can result in a modeset without a FB.
Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/issues/3432
The drm_connector_commit_state() call in handle_session_active()
was not resulting in any atomic commit, because it didn't match any
of the if branches: active = true, no new buffer was committed,
and adaptive sync/gamma LUT were unchanged. Thus the commit was a
no-op.
Later on, when the compositor performs regular page-flips, the
kernel would return EINVAL indicating that a modeset was needed.
Rework the logic to use a non-blocking page-flip commit if a buffer
was committed, and use a blocking commit if the connector is on or
is being disabled. The only case where we should skip the atomic
commit is when disabling (active = false) an already-disabled
connector (conn->crtc == NULL).
Note, 6936e163b5 ("backend/drm: short-circuit no-op commits")
has introduced early returns for other situations where we don't
need to perform an atomic commit (e.g. updating scale or transform
of an output).
Fixes: f216e97983 ("backend/drm: drop drm_connector_set_mode()")
Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/issues/3432
Extract the logic to fetch the current mode to a separate function
to make it more readable. Stop dying in an assert when
get_drm_prop_blob() fails. Always make it so the drmModeModeInfo
pointer is allocated so that we can free() it unconditionally.
We already have disconnect_drm_connector() to handle the
CONNECTED → DISCONNECTED transition. Let's add
connect_drm_connector() to handle DISCONNECTED → CONNECTED. This
makes scan_drm_connectors() shorter and easier to follow.
No functional change, literally just moving code around.
We were using the legacy API (with a detour through drmModeEncoder)
to find out the current CRTC for a connector. Use the atomic API
when available.
Also extract the whole logic into a separate function for better
readability, and better handle errors.
Instead of special-casing modesets, we can just cut the wrapper
and directly call drm_crtc_page_flip(). drm_connector_test() should
already have the checks previously done in drm_connector_set_mode(),
all we need to do is update enabled/mode after a successful atomic
commit.
This field becomes stale too easily: for instance, see 6adca4089c
("backend/drm: don't unconditionally set desired_enabled").
Additionally, drm_connector_alloc_crtc() needs to do some weird
dance, restoring its previous value.
Instead, add a connector arg to realloc_crtcs() to indicate a new
connector we want to enable.
We were unconditonally setting desired_enabled = true for all
connected connectors. This makes realloc_crtcs() always keep a CRTC
active for these, even if the user doesn't want to enable them.
When starting up, the compositor might call wlr_output_set_mode()
with a mode which is already the current one. wlroots will detect
this and make the wlr_output_set_mode() call a no-op. During the
next wlr_output_commit() call, wlroots will perform an atomic
commit without the ALLOW_MODESET flag.
This is an issue, because some drivers need ALLOW_MODESET even if
the mode is the same. For instance, if the FB stride or modifier
changed, some drivers require a modeset.
Add a new flag "allow_artifacts" which is set when the compositor
calls mode-setting functions. Use this flag to figure out whether
we want to perform atomic commits with ALLOW_MODESET.
(The name "allow_artifacts" is picked because ALLOW_MODESET is a
misnomer, see [1].)

Previously, adaptive sync was just a hint and wouldn't make any
atomic commit fail if the backend didn't support it. The main reason
is wlr_output_test wasn't supported at the time.
Now that we have a way for compositors to test whether a change can
work, let's remove the exception for adaptive sync and convert it to
a regular output state field.
"max bpc" is a maximum value, the driver is free to choose a
smaller value depending on the bandwidth available.
Some faulty monitors misbehave with higher bpc values. We'll add
a workaround if users get hit by these in practice.

The EDID 1.4 spec says that the serial number is optional:
> If this field is not used, then enter “00h, 00h, 00h, 00h”.
Leave the wlr_output.serial field NULL in that case, and hide it
from the output description.
Some output commits (changing e.g. the output scale or transform)
don't require any change in the KMS state. Instead of going through
a KMS commit, return early. Blocking KMS commits can be expensive.
Maintaining our internal table up-to-date is tedious: one needs to
manually go through the PnP ID registry [1] and check whether we're
missing any entry.
udev_hwdb already has an API to fetch a manufacturer name from its
PnP ID. Use that instead.

wlroots picks names for all outputs, but it might be desirable for
compositor to override it.
For instance, Sway will use a headless output as a fallback in
case no outputs are connected. Sway wants to clearly label the
fallback output as such and label "real" headless outputs starting
from HEADLESS-1.
