This change fixes modifier selection by delegating this to the allocators
and thus to libgbm, which can ask the driver for an appropriate modifier
for scanout, that results in the best possible performance.
We do not have this information, the order in which modifiers are returned
by EGL has no meaning and this is far better then testing modifiers
non-deterministically at random and choosing the first one, that does
not error out...
- renderer: Change the renderer api to not import different buffer types directly,
but import any supported wl_buffer
- renderer: Remove destroy_texture call and move responsibility into implementation
- gles2: Cache egl images as well as textures on wl_buffer userdata
- gles2: Implement delayed destruction of textures to avoid leaking or changing global state on drop
Tracking of Frames, so that only one unique one can exist at a time
(gles does not allow multiple frames being rendered in parallel)
lead to very unfriendly lifetime-heavy code. A renderer is already
*unique*, just move the code there and add an error variant to catch
misuses.
- Cursor is not necessary anymore as rendering hardware vs software
cursors just depends on "where" you render the cursor.
- Format is replaced by drm-fourcc and more related to buffers and
therefor the allocator module anyway.
- GL/Glium are replaced by the renderer module.
- Software was unused and very small anyway and can be implemented
with the new renderer api.
- SwapBuffersError is (for now) just moved into the top-level backend module.
This pulls a lot of code from anvil/src/glium_drawer and replaces glium
as glium has too many assumptions about the backend.
(Mostly that a fixed framebuffer exists, see fix bullet point.)
Depending on how picky glium is, we could try to re-introduce glium support
later with a some workarounds, but for now this is actually more
straight-forward to support and test.
- Add a new GL renderer, that only depends on egl as an initialization platform.
In particular do not depend on a surface being available.
Renderers share some basic drawing functions and may bind objects to render upon.
E.g. surfaces or buffers, textures, etc for the gles2 renderer.
- Be explicit about extensions we require and use. Use some very very common ones
to make our lives easier (e.g. BGRA and unpack to read in manditory shm formats).
- Enable GL debug output
- Allow more flexible rendering (e.g. 3D compositors) by allowing user-provided
projection matrices. Also provide helper functions to allow easy-ish handling
of surface and output transformations.
- Add API for renderers to tell the wayland-frontend about supported buffer-types.
- Also incoperate code from anvil/src/shm_load to handle buffer loading in the renderer
(as this is a renderer dependant operation).
- Remove EGLStream code, nvidia support will re-introduced,
when 470 hopefully lands with GBM support this summer.
- Greately simplify the native code by setting exclusively on
`EGL_EXT_platform_base` and its extensions for initialization.
- Remove generic parameters for the underlying objects on `EGLDisplay`
and `EGLSurface` by using trait objects instead.
- Allow creation of `EGLContext`s without a config for surface-less usage.
- Remove the `Device`, `Surface`, `RawDevice` and `RawSurface` traits.
We are not trying to merge the different responsibilities between...
- Drm-Surfaces: crtcs and planes for displaying buffers
- Gbm-Surfaces: allocating and managing front- and back-buffers
- EGL-Surfaces: Load drawing apis.
..anymore.
- Instead unify the legacy and atomic backends into one `DrmDevice` and
a `DrmSurface`, that under the hood dispatches onto the different modules.
- Do not keep a list of surfaces inside the devices. These are reference-counting
nightmares and a frequent issue due to the read-only nature of `Rc` and `Arc` and
thread-safety related problems.
- Surfaces are mostly doing state-tracking independently of each other
and contain some more helper functions.
- Simplify session code, because we do not need to pass the events
through three layers of devices and surfaces anymore.
- Each surface now represents a plane. Rendering to a plane is just like
any other rendering step, including the Cursor-plane.
(Legacy interfaces only have one to avoid dealing with short-comings of the api).
- Add module that deals with different kinds of buffers (memory and external),
their allocation and usage for rendering. Also try to properly support modifiers this time.
- Describe gbm functionality as an allocator (instead of a rendering device/surface).
- Also create a quick-and-dirty dumb buffer allocator for tesing / simpler tasks.
- Add a (current untested) wrapper for dmabufs and some code for converting from gbm for now.
- (also untested) Swapchain helper to manage front/backbuffers for surfaceless rendering.
