Sadly, the new API is not backwards compatible with the old API. Since
we have already switched all users in wlroots to the new API compositors
are already practically mandated to implement the new API. Let's get rid
of the old one since there is no point.
Based on five calls:
wlr_render_timer_create - creates a timer which can be reused across
frames on the same renderer
wlr_renderer_begin_buffer_pass - now takes a timer so that backends can
record when the rendering starts and finishes
wlr_render_timer_get_time - should be called as late as possible so that
queries can make their way back from the GPU
wlr_render_timer_destroy - self-explanatory
The timer is exposed as an opaque `struct wlr_render_timer` so that
backends can store whatever they want in there.
When running with the DRM backend, the Pixman renderer needs to
render the cursor buffer. However, DRM drivers only support linear
buffers for these in general, they don't support implicit modifiers
(aka. INVALID).
Advertise support for LINEAR in the Pixman renderer to fix this.
Whether a texture is opaque or not doesn't depend on the renderer
at all, it just depends on the source buffer. Instead of forcing
all renderers to implement wlr_texture_impl.is_opaque, let's move
this in common code and use the wlr_buffer format to know whether
a texture will be opaque.
The backends and allocators use INVALID, but the renderer uses
LINEAR. Running a compositor with WLR_RENDERER=pixman results in:
00:00:00.744 [types/output/render.c:59] Failed to pick primary buffer format for output 'WL-1'
This allows callers to specify the operations they'll perform on
the returned data pointer. The motivations for this are:
- The upcoming Linux MAP_NOSIGBUS flag may only be usable on
read-only mappings.
- gbm_bo_map with GBM_BO_TRANSFER_READ hurts performance.
Add wlr_pixman_buffer_get_current_image for wlr_pixman_renderer.
Add wlr_gles2_buffer_get_current_fbo for wlr_gles2_renderer.
Allow get the FBO/pixman_image_t, the compositor can be add some
action for FBO(for eg, attach a depth buffer), or without pixman
render to pixman_image_t(for eg, use QPainter of Qt instead of pixman).
The types of buffers supported by the renderer might depend on the
renderer's instance. For instance, a renderer might only support
DMA-BUFs if the necessary EGL extensions are available.
Pass the wlr_renderer to get_buffer_caps so that the renderer can
perform such checks.
Fixes: 982498fab3 ("render: introduce renderer_get_render_buffer_caps")
This new API allows buffer implementations to know when a user is
actively accessing the buffer's underlying storage. This is
important for the upcoming client-backed wlr_buffer implementation.
