Sometimes wlr_session_find_gpus will encounter an error. This is
different from finding zero GPUs.
On error, wlr_session_find_gpus already returns -1. However, this is
casted to size_t, so callers uncorrectly assume this is a success.
Instead, make wlr_session_find_gpus return a ssize_t and allow callers
to handle the error accordingly.
wlr_drm_connector.crtc may be updated by the DRM backend while a
page-flip is pending. In this case, the page-flip handler won't be able
to find the right wlr_drm_connector from the CRTC ID.
Save the CRTC when performing a page-flip to ensure we always find the
right connector when we get the event.
This callback allowed compositors to customize the EGL config used by
the renderer. However with renderer v6 EGL configs aren't used anymore.
Instead, buffers are allocated via GBM and GL FBOs are rendered to. So
customizing the EGL config is a no-op.
We now properly mark the cursor plane's formats as linear-only, and we
now have a version of wlr_drm_format_intersect that handles the case of
linear-only formats and implicit modifiers.
We can remove the special drm_plane_init_surface flag we had for cursor
planes. This also allows us to use a non-linear layout for cursor planes
on drivers that support it.
Tested on amdgpu GFX9.
The Present protocol states:
> An event context is associated with a specific window; using an existing
> event context with a different window generates a Match error.
Instead of a global event context, use a per-window event context to fix
this error:
[backend/x11/backend.c:608] X11 error: op Present (SelectInput), code Match (no extension), sequence 63, value 4194307
Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/2577
Instead of using a timer, rely on X11 Present events and send a new
frame event when the parent compositor displays a new frame on screen.
The previous attempt at doing this [1] hit issues with EGLSurface, but
we don't use that anymore.

The DRM backend is a little special when it comes to wlr_outputs: the
wlr_drm_connectors are long-lived and are created even when no screen is
connected.
A wlr_drm_connector only advertises a wlr_output to the compositor when
a screen is connected. As such, most of wlr_output's state is invalid
when the connector is disconnected.
We want to stop using wlr_output state on disconnected connectors.
Introduce wlr_drm_connector.name which is always valid regardless of the
connector status to avoid reading wlr_output.name when disconnected.
Simplify and unify connector-specific logging with a new
wlr_drm_conn_log macro. This makes it easier to understand which
connector a failure is about, without having to explicitly integrate the
connector name in each log message.
gbm_bo_create_with_modifiers doesn't take GBM flags, so our
wlr_gbm_allocator interface doesn't either. We were still internally
using GBM flags in the DRM backend, leading to awkward back-and-forth
conversions.
The only flag passed to drm_plane_init_surface was GBM_BO_USE_LINEAR, so
turn that into a bool to make sure other flags can't be passed in.
Move the "force linear" logic out of init_drm_surface, because the
supplied wlr_drm_format should already contain that information.
Rename wlr_renderer_get_dmabuf_formats to
wlr_renderer_get_dmabuf_texture_formats. This makes it clear the formats
are only suitable for creating wlr_textures.
wlr_surface_send_enter now stores outputs that have been entered.
Combined with a new 'bind' event on wlr_output, this allows us to delay
enter events as necessary until the respective wl_output global has been
bound.
Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/2466
Wait for a DRM device if none is found in wlr_session_find_gpus. This
can happen if the compositor is loaded before the display kernel driver.
This supersedes the logind CanGraphical property.
To test, e.g. with i915 and sway:
rmmod -f i915
sway &
modprobe i915
Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/2093
Instead of operating on FDs in {open,close}_device, operate on
wlr_devices. This avoids the device lookup in wlr_session and allows
callers to have access to wlr_device fields.
For now, we use it to remove wlr_session_signal_add and replace it with
a more idiomatic wlr_session.events.change field. In the future, other
events will be added.
The swapchain maximum capacity is set to 4, so that we have enough room
for:
- A buffer currently displayed on screen
- A buffer queued for display (e.g. to KMS)
- A pending buffer that'll be queued next commit
- An additional pending buffer in case we want to invalidate the
currently pending one
Every host seat with pointer capability propagates events to one of
sub-pointer depending which output window we entered.
active_pointer tracks reference to sub-pointer on enter/leave events to
avoid lookup for it on every move events.
Fixesswaywm/wlroots#1499
We were previously exporting DMA-BUFs when receiving the capture_output
request, and sending a done event on wlr_output.events.precommit. Instead,
export and send done on wlr_output.events.commit.
The resource field of wlr_xdg_positioner is never initialized or
accessed within wlroots. The wl_resource for this interface is stored
in the wlr_xdg_positioner_resource struct.
This brings the layer-shell api in line with that of xdg-shell and
avoids reimplementing this function in every compositor in order to
render layer shell popups correctly.
This type is meant to be 4 bytes large as seen in _XcursorReadUInt which
always reads 4 bytes. An unsigned int is often 4 bytes large but this
isnt' guaranteed so it is cleaner to use the exact type we want.
This event contains a `committed` bitfield, which allows callers to know
which output fields changed during the commit.
This allows users to setup a single atomic commit listener, instead of
setting up one listener for each event (mode, scale, transform, and so
on).

These states are distinct in the time period between the ack_configure
and the next commit on the surface. Splitting these states avoids the
following race for example:
- client starts at 1000x1000
- wlr_xdg_toplevel_set_size 500x500
- size is different -> configure sent
- client acks the configure
- wlr_xdg_toplevel_set_size 1000x1000
- compare_xdg_toplevel_state returns true since there is no pending
configure and the currently committed size is still 1000x1000
- no new configure is sent
- client commits at the size it last acked, 500x500
Certain clients require this property to be set for expected behavior.
Most notably, steam client CSD maximize button no longer worked
after unmaximizing once, unless the state was changed by another
method. The state is unset whenever another surface gains focus.
The output backend API is now mostly state-less thanks to the atomic
hooks (commit and test). There is one exception though: attach_render.
This function makes the rendering context current. However sometimes the
compositor might decide not to render after attach_render (e.g. when
there's nothing new to render to the back buffer). Thus
wlr_output_rollback has been introduced to revert the pending state.
Because the output backend API is mostly state-less, the only thing
wlr_output_impl.rollback needs to do is revert the current rendering
context. Rename the function to rollback_render to make this clear. Add
a check in the common wlr_output code to only call rollback_render when
attach_buffer has been previously called.
On the long term, we'll be able to remove attach_render and
rollback_render together.
This commit makes `get_current_time_msec` correctly return milliseconds
as opposed to microseconds. It also considers the value of `tv_sec`, so
we don't lose occasionally go back in time by one second. Finally, the
function is moved into `util/time.cc` so that it can be reused elsewhere
without having to consider these pitfalls.
This is necessary for some grabs, which currently have no way of knowing
when the pointer/keyboard focus has left a surface. For example, without
this, a drag-and-drop grab can erroneously drop into a window that the
cursor is no longer over.
This is the plumbing needed to properly fix swaywm/sway#5220. The
existing fix, swaywm/sway#5222, relies on every grab's `enter()` hook
allowing a `NULL` surface. This is not guaranteed by the API and, in
fact, is not the case for the xdg-shell popup grab and results in a
crash when the cursor leaves a surface and does not immediately enter
another one while a popup is open (#2161).
This fix also adds an assertion to wlr_seat_pointer_notify_enter() that
ensures it's never called with a `NULL` surface. This will make Sway
crash much more until it fixes its usage of the API, so we should land
this at the same time as a fix in Sway (which I haven't posted yet).
I found the previous wording a bit confusing when I first read it.
Reword these comments to explicitly say that the grab-respecting
variants should be used in most cases.
This change has no functional effect.
These three APIs are very similar to one another, but they all had
slightly different function orderings. For consistency, always declare
the non_`notify` functions first, then the `notify` functions, then
`{start,end,has}_grab`.
This change has no functional effect.
This introduces the enter and leave events for wlr_keyboard_group.
The enter event is emitted when a keyboard is added to the group while a
key is pressed that is not pressed by any other keyboard in the group.
The data is a wl_array of the pressed key codes unique to the keyboard
that should now be considered pressed.
Similarly the leave event is emitted when a keyboard is removed from the
group while at least one key is pressed that is not pressed by any other
keyboard in the group. The data is a wl_array of the pressed key codes
unique to the keyboard that should now be considered released.
The purpose of these events are to allow the compositor to update its
state to avoid corruption. Additionally, for the leave event, the
focused surface may have been notified of a key press for some or all of
the key codes and needs to be notified of a key release to avoid state
corruption.
These were previously emitted as normal key events, but they are not
normal key events. There is no actual key press or release associated
with the events. It's purely for state keeping purposes. Emitting them
as separate events allows the compositor to handle them differently.
Since these are purely for state keeping purposes and are not associated
with an actual key being pressed or released, bindings should not be
triggered as a result of these events.
We should throw a protocol error if the relevant capability has never
existed when get_(pointer|keyboard|touch) is called. Otherwise, it
should succeed, even if the capability is not currently present.
This follows the spec, and avoids possible races with the client when
capabilities are lost.
Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/2227
Previously, we only had the pending state (crtc->pending, crtc->mode and
crtc->active). This causes issues when a commit fails: the pending state
is left as-is, and the next commit may read stale data from it.
This will also cause issues when implementing test-only commits: we need
to rollback the pending CRTC state after a test-only commit.
Introduce separate pending and current CRTC states. Properly update the
current state after a commit.
retry_pageflip is now dead code, since drm_connector_start_renderer
isn't called anymore. It was previously called when enabling an output.
The name "retry_pageflip" was a little confusing because the function
retried a modeset and the timer wasn't set up while performing a simple
page-flip.
Let's just remove this altogether for now. We can discuss whether it's
worth it to bring it back. Should we only do it on failed page-flips?
Should we only do it on EBUSY?
This function can be called after wlr_egl_make_current to cleanup the
EGL context. This avoids having lingering EGL contexts that make things
work by chance.
Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/2197
This is currently inconsistent with the rest of the library and a bit of
a footgun for new compositors. However, this breaks the API in a very
unfortunate way for existing compositors.
This is necessary so that sway can determine when to start emulating
pointer events -- it shouldn't start doing so during an implicit grab,
even if the pen is over a surface that doesn't bind tablet input.
Refs swaywm/sway#5302.
This patch will make the EGL renderer work on any EGL/GLESv2 driver
providing the EGL_WL_bind_wayland_display extensions.
Mesa used to declare provisional EGL_WL_bind_wayland_display directly
in <EGL/eglext.h>. Then, all unofficial extensions were moved to
<EGL/eglmesaext.h>, to have a cleaner implementation. See:
ab7bb10a2a
The extension was then approved at Khronos Group, and reached the
official <EGL/eglext.h>. See:
https://www.khronos.org/registry/EGL/extensions/WL/EGL_WL_bind_wayland_display.txtaa9b63f3ab
In order to make sure the renderer will work on any version of any
implementation providing the extension, only include the mesa-specific
header if it's present.

We don't need a per-CRTC atomic request anymore. Let's make the request
per-commit so that it's easier to debug.
This is also groundwork for supporting wlr_output_test properly.
GAMMA_LUT_SIZE isn't an atomic property. It can be used with the legacy
interface too. So we can unify both codepaths and remove
wlr_drm_interface.crtc_get_gamma_size.
It's no guaranteed to exist though, so we still need to keep the
fallback.
When the headless backend uses an already-existing renderer, it doesn't
have ownership over the renderer. When the renderer is destroyed, the
headless backend needs to destroy itself.
Instead of requiring compositors to call wlr_texture_get_size each time
they want to access the texture's size, expose this information as
wlr_texture fields.
This is a type which manages gbm_surfaces and imported dmabufs in the
same place, and makes the lifetime management between the two shared. It
should lead to easier to understand code, and fewer special cases.
This also contains a fair bit of refactoring to start using this new
type.

Most of the pending output state is not forwarded to the backend prior
to an output commit. For instance, wlr_output_set_mode just stashes the
mode without calling any wlr_output_impl function.
wlr_output_impl.commit is responsible for applying the pending mode.
However, there are exceptions to this rule. The first one is
wlr_output_attach_render. It won't go away before renderer v6 is
complete, because it needs to set the current EGL surface.
The second one is wlr_output_attach_buffer.
wlr_output_impl.attach_buffer is removed in [1].
When wlr_output_rollback is called, all pending state is supposed to be
cleared. This works for all the state except the two exceptions
mentionned above. To fix this, introduce wlr_output_impl.rollback.
Right now, the backend resets the current EGL surface. This prevents GL
commands from affecting the output after wlr_output_rollback.
This patch is required for FBO-based outputs to work properly. The
compositor might be using FBOs for its own purposes [2], having leftover
FBO state can have bad consequences.

[2]: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/pull/2063#issuecomment-597614312
Check that buffer can be scanned out in wlr_output_test instead of
wlr_output_attach_buffer. This allows the backend to have access to the
whole pending state when performing the check.
This brings the wlr_output API more in line with the KMS API.
This removes the need for wlr_output_attach_buffer to return a value,
and for wlr_output_impl.attach_buffer.
Consumers call wlr_buffer_lock. Once all consumers are done with the
buffer, only the producer should have a reference to the buffer. In this
case, we can release the buffer (and let the producer re-use it).
This makes it easier for the user of this library to properly handle
failure of this function.
The signature of wlr_renderer_impl.init_wl_display was also modified to
allow for proper error propagation.
This patch disambiguates the needs_frame event by uncoupling it from
damage. A new separate damage event is emitted when the backend damages
the output (this happens e.g. VT is changed or software cursors are
used). The event specifies the damaged region.
The wlr_output.damage field is removed. wlr_output is no longer
responsible for tracking its own damage, this is wlr_output_damage's
job.
This is a breaking change, but wlr_output_damage users shouldn't need an
update.
Bugs fixed:
- Screen flashes on VT switch
- Cursor damage issues on the X11 and headless backends

Previously, some atoms had a leading underscore, others didn't. Be more
consistent and never use a leading underscore (symbols with a leading
underscore followed by an upper-case letter are reserved).
Split out the client/resource handling out of wlr_buffer by introducing
wlr_client_buffer. Make wlr_buffer an interface so that compositors can
create their own wlr_buffers (e.g. backed by GBM, like glider [1]).

This function allowed backends to provide a custom function for frame
scheduling. Before resuming the rendering loop, the DRM and Wayland
backends would wait for vsync.
There isn't a clear benefit of doing this. The only upside is that we
get more stable timings: the delay between two repaints doesn't change too
much and is close to a mutliple of the refresh rate.
However this introduces latency, especially when a client misses a
frame. For instance a fullscreen game missing vblank will need to wait
more than a whole frame before being able to display new content. This
worst case scenario happens as follows:
- Client is still rendering its frame and cannot submit it in time
- Deadline is reached
- Compositor decides to stop the rendering loop since nothing changed on
screen
- Client finally manages to render its frame, submits it
- Compositor calls wlr_output_schedule_frame
- DRM backend waits for next vblank
- The wlr_output frame event is fired, compositor draws new content on screen
- On the second next vblank, the new content reaches the screen
With this patch, the wlr_output frame event is fired immediately when
the client submits its late frame.
This change also makes it easier to support variable refresh rate, since
VRR is all about being able to present too-late frames earlier.

The keyboard shortcuts inhibitor protocol is useful for remote desktop
and virtualization software in order to request all keyboard events to
be passed to it and (almost) none being resonded to by the compositor.
This allows the session at the other end of the remote desktop
connection or inside the virtual machine to be interacted with as usual
(e.g. Alt+Tab to switch windows on the remote system instead of
locally).
Add the wayland protocol to the meson build files.
Copy'n'search'n'replace the very similar idle inhibit protocol
implementation. This already provides all the basic functionality:
- creating and destroying inhibitors upon request by a client,
- destruction in reaction to destruction of surfaces or displays,
- a list of inhibitors to search through for existing ones as well as
- a signal to be sent to the compositor upon registration of a new
inhibitor.
Beyond that we add the active and inactive events to be sent to the
client and wire those to activate and deactivate functions for the
compositor to call in confirmation of activation of a new inhibitor or
(un-)suspending of an existing inhibitor e.g. in response to a special
key combination entered by the user as suggested by the protocol.
As mandated by the protocol, we check the existance of an inhibitor for
a given surface and seat upon creation and return the error provided by
the protocol for that purpose.

Previously, if the current configuration contains an output X which is
destroyed, its head is automatically removed. If the compositor submits
the new configuration after X was removed, the current output
configuration is incorrectly detected to be the same as the previous
one, and no done event is sent. To prevent this, we can just keep track
of whether the current configuration is dirty, i.e whether we have sent
a done event for it.
Previously, we just assumed submitting a new frame would make the
compositor release the current one. This isn't always the case, for
instance Sway retains old buffers when a transaction is pending. This
resulted in synchronization issues with clients writing in
front-buffers.
Fix this by un-referencing a wlr_buffer when the parent compositor sends
wl_buffer.release.
Tested by running a fullscreen mpv instance in Sway with the Wayland
backend.
Add a wlr_renderer.rendering bool, set it to true between
wlr_renderer_begin() and wlr_renderer_end(). Assert we're rendering when
calling functions that render.
Since [1], the xdg-output description is mutable. Listen to output
description changes and send the new output description when updated.
[1]: 048102f21a
wlr_output.description is a string containing a human-readable string
identifying the output. Compositors can customise it via
wlr_output_set_description, for instance to make the name more
user-friendly.

- Remove all intermediate static libraries.
They serve no purpose and are just add a bunch of boilerplate for
managing dependencies and options. It's now managed as a list of
files which are compiled into libwlroots directly.
- Use install_subdir instead of installing headers individually.
I've changed my mind since I did that. Listing them out is annoying as
hell, and it's easy to forget to do it.
- Add not_found_message for all of our optional dependencies that have a
meson option. It gives some hints about what option to pass and what
the optional dependency is for.
- Move all backend subdirectories into their own meson.build. This
keeps some of the backend-specific build logic (especially rdp and
session) more neatly separated off.
- Don't overlink example clients with code they're not using.
This was done by merging the protocol dictionaries and setting some
variables containing the code and client header file.
Example clients now explicitly mention what extension protocols they
want to link to.
- Split compositor example logic from client example logic.
- Minor formatting changes
Remove glapi.sh code generation, replace it with hand-written loading
code that checks extension strings before calling eglGetProcAddress.
The GLES2 renderer still uses global state because of:
- {PUSH,POP}_GLES2_DEBUG macros
- wlr_gles2_texture_from_* taking a wlr_egl instead of the renderer

Some globals are static and it doesn't make sense to destroy them before
the wl_display. For instance, wl_compositor should be created before the
display is started and shouldn't be destroyed.
For these globals, we can simplify the code by removing the destructor
and stop keeping track of wl_resources (these will be destroyed with the
wl_display by libwayland).
Most of the time, compositors just display the surface's current buffer
on an output. Add an helper to make it easy to support presentation-time
in this case.
The wlr_presentation_feedback struct now tracks presentation feedback
for multiple resources (but still a single surface content update). This
allows the compositor to properly send presentation events even when
there is more than one frame of latency or when it references a
surface's buffer.
This requires functions without a prototype definition to be static.
This allows to detect dead code, export less symbols and put shared
functions in headers.
This reverts commit 3317134adf.
This reverts commit a3c3b928a3.
There are some serious issues when running this on a real X server, as
opposed to running this on Xwayland, where this was tested.
More investigation needs to be done into why these issues happen and if
our usage of the present extension is correct.
This is set to the value of wlr_output.commit_seq when the frame has
been submitted. This allows tracking presentation with more then 1 full
frame of latency.

Expose the remote wl_display, wl_surface and wl_seat used by the Wayland
backend.
This allows compositors to customize the Wayland backend and to have
more freedom. For instance a compositor might want to handle clipboard
and drag-and-drop from the remote Wayland compositor. Another compositor
might want to setup pointer constraints.
We just send relative motion events alongside absolute motion events.
Compositors can figure out how absolute and relative events are related
(e.g. whether they have been triggered by the same logical event) with
the frame event.
Prior to this commit, compositors needed to render the texture to an
intermediate off-screen buffer using wlr_renderer APIs if they wanted to
use a custom rendering path (e.g. render to a 3D scene).
A new wlr_gles2_texture_get_attribs exposes the GL texture target and ID
so that compositors can render wlr_textures with their own shaders. An
example of a compositor doing so is available at [1].

We don't need our own enum for types. Instead we just use
GL_TEXTURE_{2D,EXTERNAL_OES}, which already describes usage.
Also fixes a situation where we were using GL_TEXTURE_2D in a situation
we should not have. wl_drm buffers are always GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES,
no matter if they're RGB or any other format.
A wlr_keyboard_group allows for multiple keyboard devices to be
combined into one logical keyboard. Each keyboard device can only be
added to one keyboard group. This helps with the situation where one
physical keyboard is exposed as multiple keyboard devices. It is up to
the compositors on how they group keyboards together, if at all.
Since a wlr_keyboard_group is one logical keyboard, the keys are a set.
This means that if a key is pressed on multiple keyboard devices, the
key event will only be emitted once, but the internal state will count
the number of devices that the key is pressed on. Likewise, the key
release will not be emitted until the key is released from all devices.
If the compositor wants access to which keys are pressed and released
on each keyboard device, the events for those devices can be listened
to, as they currently are, in addition to the group keyboard's events.
Also, all keyboard devices in the group must share the same keymap. If
the keymap's differ, the keyboard device will not be able to be added
to the group. Once in the group, if the keymap or effective layout for
one keyboard device changes, it will be synced to all keyboard devices
in the group. The repeat info and keyboard modifiers are also synced
Makes use of the present extension to get notified of vsync, and not
require any stupid timer hacks. Also make use of the present version of
ConfigureNotify, because why not?
Without this information, compositors have no way to tell whether
or not to consider the position information valid. Most notably,
a compositor needs to know if it should pick a position for the
surface or use the position sent in the configure request.
This allows wlroots based compositors to properly use graphic tablets
with the wayland backend.
This should be a decent quality of life improvement when working on
tablet related features.
Since e26217c51e3a5e1d7dfc95a8a76299e056497981, touchpoints can outlive
surfaces. This works fine as long as the client stays around, but fails
horribly otherwise; therefore we have to make sure that touchpoints don't
outlive their clients.
Fixes#1788
From the xdg-shell specification:
If the parent is unmapped then its children are managed as
though the parent of the now-unmapped parent has become the
parent of this surface. If no parent exists for the now-unmapped
parent then the children are managed as though they have no
parent surface.
