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.
Expose the panel orientation with wlr_drm_connector_get_panel_orientation.
Leave it to the compositor to consume this information and configure the
output accordingly.

Modesets require a buffer. The DRM backend tried to auto-enable
outputs when a CRTC becomes available in the past, but now that
fails because no buffer is available.
Instead of having this magic inside the DRM backend, a better
approach is to do it in the compositor or in an optional helper.
Previously, we were copying wlr_output_state on the stack and
patching it up to be guaranteed to have a proper drmModeModeInfo
stored in it (and not a custom mode). Also, we had a bunch of
helpers deriving DRM-specific information from the generic
wlr_output_state.
Copying the wlr_output_state worked fine so far, but with output
layers we'll be getting a wl_list in there. An empty wl_list stores
two pointers to itself, copying it on the stack blindly results in
infinite loops in wl_list_for_each.
To fix this, rework our DRM backend to stop copying wlr_output_state,
instead add a new struct wlr_drm_connector_state which holds both
the wlr_output_state and additional DRM-specific information.
Using GBM to import DRM dumb buffers tends to not work well. By
using GBM we're calling some driver-specific functions in Mesa.
These functions check whether Mesa can work with the buffer.
Sometimes Mesa has requirements which differ from DRM dumb buffers
and the GBM import will fail (e.g. on amdgpu).
Instead, drop GBM and use drmPrimeFDToHandle directly. But there's
a twist: BO handles are not ref'counted by the kernel and need to
be ref'counted in user-space [1]. libdrm usually performs this
bookkeeping and is used under-the-hood by Mesa.
We can't re-use libdrm for this task without using driver-specific
APIs. So let's just re-implement the ref'counting logic in wlroots.
The wlroots implementation is inspired from amdgpu's in libdrm [2].

The Coordinated Video Timings (CVT) spec [1] defines two types of
timings: the "CVT standard CRT" timings and the "CVT reduced blanking"
timings (see section 3.6).
The standard CRT timings include pauses in the video stream to allow
CRT displays to reposition their electron beam at the end of each
horizontal scan line [2]. While this was desirable a few decades ago,
nowadays we can just generate a CVT reduced blanking timing by default.
wlroots users can still set full custom DRM modes via
wlr_drm_connector_add_mode.

To retrieve the formats, an allocated crtc is required. If there is no
currently no crtc available, try to allocate it. This reproducable by
having a disabled output and going through a suspend cycle with amdgpu.
On start CRTCs look like this:

where the primary format can't be queried since there is no crtc
allocated for the connector. Allocating the connector inside
drm_connector_get_primary_formats() fixes this issue. This is possible
since the only user of get_primary_formats() is the swapchain allocation
function, which is only called on output enable. Do the same thing for
the cursor formats in case the user queries them before the output is
enabled.
This reverts commit 85757665e6.
We now check if the output is enabled within wlr_output_send_frame, no
need to handle this explicitly in the DRM backend. This also fixes a
race which was introduced with this commit: if we schedule the flip,
disable and commit the output before the flip happens,
output.frame_pending will not be reset to false. We than always fail to

Fixes https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/3109
When testing a modeset, make sure the caller has also provided a
buffer. This allows df0e75ba05 ("output: try skipping buffer
allocation if the backend allows it") to work as expected with the
DRM backend.
Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/3086
Unless we're dealing with a multi-GPU setup and the backend being
initialized is secondary, we don't need a renderer nor an allocator.
Stop initializing these.
This is the cause of the spurious "drmHandleEvent failed" messages
at exit. restore_drm_outputs calls handle_drm_event in a loop without
checking whether the FD is readable, so drmHandleEvent ends up with a
short read (0 bytes) and returns an error.
The loop's goal is to wait for all queued page-flip events to complete,
to allow drmModeSetCrtc calls to succeed without EBUSY. The
drmModeSetCrtc calls are supposed to restore whatever KMS state we were
started with. But it's not clear from my PoV that restoring the KMS
state on exit is desirable.
KMS clients are supposed to save and restore the (full) KMS state on VT
switch, but not on exit. Leaving our KMS state on exit avoids unnecessary
modesets and allows flicker-free transitions between clients. See [1]
for more details, and note that with Pekka we've concluded that a new
flag to reset some KMS props to their default value on compositor
start-up is the best way forward. As a side note, Weston doesn't restore
the CRTC by does disable the cursor plane on exit (see
drm_output_deinit_planes, I still think disabling the cursor plane
shouldn't be necessary on exit).
Additionally, restore_drm_outputs only a subset of the KMS state.
Gamma and other atomic properties aren't accounted for. If the previous
KMS client had some outputs disabled, restore_drm_outputs would restore
a garbage mode.

Right now callers of drm_crtc_commit need to check whether the
interface is legacy or atomic before passing the TEST_ONLY flag.
Additionally, the fallbacks for legacy are in-place in the common
code.
Add a test_only arg to the crtc_commit hook. This way, there's no
risk to pass atomic-only flags to the legacy function (add an assert
to ensure this) and all of the legacy-specific logic can be put back
into legacy.c (done in next commit).
The previous fix tried to side-step cursor->pending_fb completely.
However that messes up our buffer locking mechanism.
Instead, stop clearing the pending cursor FB on a failed commit. The
pending cursor FB will remain for the next commit.
Fixes: 6c3d080e25 ("backend/drm: populate cursor plane's current_fb")
This reverts commit 6c3d080e25.
Populating wlr_drm_plane.current_fb messes up the buffer's locking.
The previous buffer is released while it's still being displayed
on-screen.
Custom backends and renderers need to implement
wlr_backend_impl.get_buffer_caps and
wlr_renderer_impl.get_render_buffer_caps. They can't if enum
wlr_buffer_cap isn't made public.
Right now, when a new output state field is added, all backends by
default won't reject it. This means we need to add new checks to
each and every backend when we introduce a new state field.
Instead, introduce a bitmask of supported output state fields in
each backend, and error out if the user has submitted an unknown
field.
Some fields don't need any backend involvment to work. These are
listed in WLR_OUTPUT_STATE_BACKEND_OPTIONAL as a convenience.
The set_cursor() hook is a little bit special: it's not really
synchronized to commit() or test(). Once set_cursor() returns true,
the new cursor is part of the current state.
This fixes a state where wlr_drm_connector.cursor_enabled is true
but there is no FB available. This is triggered by set_cursor()
followed by a failed commit(), which resets pending_fb.
We should definitely fix the output interface to make the cursor part
of the pending state, but that's a more involved change.
Instead of trying to perform a real modeset in init_renderer,
perform an atomic test-only commit to find out whether disabling
modifiers is necessary because of bandwidth limitations.
This decouples init_renderer from the actual commit, making it
possible to modeset an output with a user-supplied buffer instead
of a black frame.
We loose the ability to make sure the buffers coming from the
swapchain will work fine when using the legacy interface. This
can break i915 when atomic is disabled and modifiers enabled.
But i915 always has atomic (so the user must explicitly disable it
to run into potential bandwidth limitations) and is the only known
problematic driver.
Instead of passing a wlr_texture to the backend, directly pass a
wlr_buffer. Use get_cursor_size and get_cursor_formats to create
a wlr_buffer that can be used as a cursor.
We don't want to pass a wlr_texture because we want to remove as
many rendering bits from the backend as possible.
Backend-initiated mode changes can use this function instead of
going through drm_connector_set_mode. drm_connector_set_mode becomes
a mere drm_connector_commit_state helper.
Replace it with a new drm_connector_state_is_modeset function that
decides whether a modeset is necessary directly from the
wlr_output_state which is going to be applied.
Populate the wlr_output_state when setting a mode. This will allow
drm_connector_set_mode to stop relying on ephemeral fields in
wlr_drm_crtc. Also drm_connector_set_mode will be able to apply
both a new buffer and a new mode atomically.
Stop assuming that the state to be applied is in output->pending in
crtc_commit. This will allow us to remove ephemeral fields in
wlr_drm_crtc, which are used scratch fields to stash temporary
per-commit data.
PRIME support for buffer sharing has become mandatory since the renderer
rewrite. Make sure we check for the appropriate capabilities in backend,
allocator and renderer.
See also #2819.
Downgrade errors to DEBUG level, because drm_fb_create is used in
test_buffer, so errors aren't always fatal. Add ERROR logs at call
sites where a failure is fatal, to make it clear something wrong
happened.
If the import to KMS succeeds, we have a better chance to be able to
scan it out.
Importing is also necessary for test-only commits, which we want to
add in the future.
