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.

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].)

All we can do to influence adaptive sync on the X11 backend is set the
_VARIABLE_REFRESH window property like mesa automatically does. We don't
have any control beyond that, so we set the state to enabled on creating
the output and never allow changing it (just like the Wayland backend).
Adaptive sync is effectively always enabled when using the Wayland
backend. This is not something we have control over, so we set the
state to enabled on creating the output and never allow changing it.
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.
We were firing the new_input signal on backend initialization,
before the compositor had the chance to add a listener for it.
Mimick what's done for wl_keyboard: if the backend hasn't been
started, delay wl_touch initialization.

On newer versions of libinput, the event LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_AXIS
has been deprecated in favour of LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_SCROLL_WHEEL,
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_SCROLL_FINGER and
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_SCROLL_CONTINUOUS.
Where new events are provided by the backend, ignore
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_AXIS, receive high-resolution scroll events from
libinput and emit the appropiate wlr_pointer signal.
Currently, the "wlr_event_pointer_axis" event stores low-resolution
values in its "delta_discrete" field. Low-resolution values are always
multiples of one, i.e., 1 for one wheel detent, 2 for two wheel
detents, etc.
In order to simplify internal handling of events, always transform in
the backend from the low-resolution value into the high-resolution
value.
The transformation is performed by multiplying by 120. The 120 magic
number is used by the kernel and it is exposed to clients in the
"WLR_POINTER_AXIS_DISCRETE_STEP" constant.
Starting with Linux Kernel v5.0 two new axes are available for
mice that support high-resolution wheel scrolling: REL_WHEEL_HI_RES and
REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES.
Both axes send data in fractions of 120 where each multiple of 120
amounts to one logical scroll event. Fractions of 120 indicate a wheel
movement less than one detent.
Three new events are now available on libinput:
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_SCROLL_WHEEL,
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_SCROLL_FINGER, and
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_SCROLL_CONTINUOUS.
These events replace the LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_AXIS event, so new
clients should simply ignore that event.
Also, two new APIs are available to access the high-resolution data:
libinput_event_pointer_get_scroll_value() and
libinput_event_pointer_get_scroll_value_v120().
Add a project argument (LIBINPUT_HAS_SCROLL_VALUE120) to allow
building against old versions of libinput or, where high-resolution
scroll is available, support it.
"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.
