This allows callers to set a destination size different from the
buffer size to scale them.
The DRM backend supports this. The Wayland backend doesn't yet
(we'd need to wire up viewporter).
We've had this struct for a while. It'd be useful for compositors
if they want to manage the swap chains themselves instead of being
forced to use wlr_output's. Some compositors might also want to use
a swapchain without an output.
The hardcoded fallback "/usr/share/hwdata/pnp.ids" was only a
temporary solution to get things working while distributions were
still working on shipping it.
Since 1d581656c7 ("backend/drm: set "max bpc" to the max") we
set the "max bpc" property to the maximum value. The kernel driver
is supposed to clamp this value depending on hardware capabilities.
All kernel drivers lower the value depending on the GPU capabilities.
However, none of the drivers lower the value depending on the DP-MST
link capabilities. Thus, enabling a 4k@60Hz mode can fail on some
DP-MST setups due to the "max bpc" property.
Additionally, it's not a good idea to unconditionally set "max bpc"
to the max. A high bpc consumes more lanes and more clock speed,
which means higher power consumption and the busy lanes cannot be
used for something else (e.g. other data transfers on a USB-C cable).
For now, let's tie the "max bpc" to the pixel format of the buffer.
Introduce a heuristic to make "high bit-depth buffer" a synonym of
"I want the best quality".
This is not perfect: a "max bpc" higher than 8 might be desirable
for pixel formats with a color depth of 8 bits, for instance when
the color management KMS properties are used. But we don't really
support that yet, so let's leave this for later.

When the user switches away from the VT where wlroots is running,
the new DRM master may mutate the KMS state in an arbitrary manner.
For instance, let's say wlroots uses the following connector/CRTC
mapping:
- CRTC 42 drives connector DP-1
- CRTC 43 drives connector DP-2
Then the new DRM master may swap the mapping like so:
- CRTC 42 drives connector DP-2
- CRTC 43 drives connector DP-1
wlroots needs to restore its own state when the user switches back.
Some state is attached to wlr_drm_crtc (e.g. current FB), so reading
back and adopting the CRTC/connector mapping left by the previous DRM
master would be complicated (this was the source of other bugs in the
past, see [1]).
With the previous logic, wlroots merely tries to restore the state
of each connector one after the other. This fails in the scenario
described above: the kernel refuses to use CRTC 42 for DP-1, because
that CRTC is already in-use for DP-2.
Unfortunately with the legacy uAPI it's not possible to restore the
state in one go. We need to support both legacy and atomic uAPIs, so
let's fix the bug for the legacy uAPI first, and then improve the
situation for the atomic uAPI as a second step [2].
We need to disable the CRTCs we're going to switch the connectors for.
This sounds complicated, so let's just disable all CRTCs to simplify.
This causes a black screen because of the on/off modesets, but makes
VT switch much more reliable, so I'll take it.

We only need it for one thing: gamma size. Moreover, some bits in
the drmModeCrtc will become out-of-date, for instance the current
mode, so let's avoid caching the whole struct and only keep what
we know won't change.
connect_drm_connector() may be called long after create_drm_connector().
During that time the DRM mode might have changed. Avoid working with
stale information.
match_obj() might return a configuration where the CRTC for an
enabled connector is switched to another one.
We don't support this correctly: the wlr_output common code would
need to query again the supported formats, re-allocate the
swapchain, etc.
What's more, the kernel doesn't even support this [1]: it
requires planes to be disabled to change their CRTC, it rejects
commits directly switching the CRTC used by a plane.

If the commit fails, then our local state becomes out-of-sync with
the kernel's. Additionally, when disabling a connector without going
through dealloc_crtc(), conn->crtc would still be set.
Fix this by updating conn->crtc in drm_connector_commit_state().
The raw enum value wasn't informative enough. It's not trivial to
tell whether 0 means connected or disconnected.
Drop the status from the state after realloc, since the exact same
information is printed right above.
Instead of having a pending_fb field on the struct wlr_drm_plane,
move it to struct wlr_drm_connector_state. That way, there's no
risk having a stale pending FB around: the state doesn't survive
across tests and commits.
The cursor is a special case because it's disconnected from the
atomic state: the wlr_backend_impl.set_cursor hook sets the cursor
for the next commit. Move the field to
wlr_drm_connector.cursor_pending_fb.
We'll move the pending primary FB into the connector state in the
next commit, dropping wlr_drm_plane.pending_fb in the process.
Introduce a dedicated field for the cursor, which has to be managed
in a special way due to our set_cursor API.
We were calling drm_connector_supports_vrr() before
drm_connector_alloc_crtc(). Thus, when an output is currently off,
the VRR test would always fail, because it checks that the
vrr_enabled CRTC prop exists.
The following situation can be dangerous:
- Output DP-1 is plugged in, compositor enables it.
- User VT switches away.
- User unplugs DP-1.
- User VT switches back.
- scan_drm_connectors() figures out the output is now disconnected,
uninitializes the struct wlr_output.
- The loop restoring previous output state in handle_session_active()
accesses the struct wlr_output to figure out what to restore.
By chance, we zero out the struct wlr_output after uninitializing it,
so enabled and current_mode will always be zero. But let's make sure
we handle this case explicitly, to remind future readers that it exists
and make the code less fragile.
The old drm_connector_set_mode() function did that by calling
drm_crtc_page_flip(). We lost this in the refactoring.
Fixes: f216e97983 ("backend/drm: drop drm_connector_set_mode()")
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.
