This way, wlr_output_schedule_frame will always be followed by a
wlr_output_commit. This forces the compositor to render an extra
frame before stopping the rendering loop.
To test, run wleird's frame-callback [1], make sure it's the only
visible client on the output and check the interval between frame
events is the output's refresh period instead of zero.

Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/2051
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.

This change ensures that wlr_output_transform_compose correctly composes
transforms when the first transform includes a rotation and the second
transform includes a flip.
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.

Backends not supporting presentation feedback call
wlr_output_send_present with a NULL event in their commit handler. Since
the commit hasn't been applied yet, commit_seq still has its old value.
We need to increment it.
An alternative would be to move commit_seq in wlr_output_state. This
would allow to have a pending and a current commit_seq.
wlr_output_send_present could take the pending commit_seq when called
with a NULL event.
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.

This commit makes more output properties (mode, enabled, scale and transform)
atomic. This means that they are double-buffered and only applied on commit.
Compositors now need to call wlr_output_commit after setting any of those
properties.
Internally, backends still apply properties sequentially. The behaviour should
be exactly the same as before. Future commits will update some backends to take
advantage of the atomic interface. Some backends are non-atomic by design, e.g.
the X11 backend or the legacy DRM backend.

The documentation for wayland-server.h says:
> Use of this header file is discouraged. Prefer including
> wayland-server-core.h instead, which does not include the server protocol
> header and as such only defines the library PI, excluding the deprecated API
> below.
Replacing wayland-server.h with wayland-server-core.h allows us to drop the
WL_HIDE_DEPRECATED declaration.
AFAIK this was always set to zero. Instead, compute wl_output mode flags on the
fly.
Technically this is a breaking change, but I don't think anybody uses this
field.
The backend doesn't need to handle transform changes, since everything is done
in software. In fact, all of the implementations were all identical and just
set the transform.
We could add support for hardware transforms, but:
- This would require a different field (something like hardware_transform)
- Not all combinations are possible because there often are hardware
limitations
- The Wayland protocol isn't ready for this (in particular xdg-output, see [1])
This belongs to a different patch series anyway.

It can be surprising for callers to stash pending changes, commit, get a
failure, then set some other pending changes, commit again, and get another
failure because of the previously-pending changes.
Instead, make commit reset the pending state on failure.
If an output is destroyed while an idle_done event is scheduled, it
results in the following Address Sanitizer Output:

Remove the idle_done idle timer when the output is destroyed
This commit introduces wlr_output_schedule_done and refactors the mechanism
used to send wl_output events to clients.
wlr_output_schedule_done schedules a wl_output.done event. This allows clients
to see wlr_output property changes as atomic.
This function is also useful for add-on interfaces like xdg_output which need
to trigger a wl_output.done event to apply their new state.
wlr_output_damage_make_current has been renamed to
wlr_output_damage_attach_render, since it's just a wrapper for
wlr_output_attach_render.
wlr_output_damage_swap_buffers has been removed completely. Instead,
wlr_output_damage now listens to successful wlr_output commits and updates its
internal state accordingly.
This updates the backend part of the output API. This is mostly renaming:
make_current becomes attach_render and swap_buffers becomes commit.
This also fixes the RDP backend to support NULL damage.
This is necessary for direct scan-out and other upcoming features. This patch
changes the output API to look like the wl_surface API.
Outputs now have some double-buffered state: the frame to be submitted
(currently only wlr_renderer frames are supported) and the damaged region.
To attach a pending frame, use wlr_output_attach_render. To set the pending
damaged region, use wlr_output_set_damage.
To submit the pending state, call wlr_output_commit. This will submit the
pending frame to the backend.
To migrate from the old API to the new one:
- Replace wlr_output_make_current calls by wlr_output_attach_render
- Replace wlr_output_swap_buffers calls by wlr_output_set_damage and
wlr_output_commit
There is no point in modesetting an output to a mode that it is already
set to. Modesetting will cause the output to briefly flicker which is
undesirable for a noop. This prevents modesetting any wlr_output,
regardless of the backend, to it's currently set mode.
When there aren't enough CRTCs for all outputs, we try to move a CRTC from a
disabled output to an enabled one. When this happens, the old output's state
wasn't changed, so the compositor thought it was still enabled and rendering.
This commit marks the old output as WLR_DRM_CONN_NEEDS_MODESET and sets its
current mode to NULL.
The read format is dependent on the output, so we first need to make it
current. This fixes a race condition in wlr-screencopy-v1 where a dmabuf
client would cause EGL_NO_SURFACE to be bound at the time when
screencopy needs to query for the preferred format, causing GL errors.
