Based on five calls:
wlr_render_timer_create - creates a timer which can be reused across
frames on the same renderer
wlr_renderer_begin_buffer_pass - now takes a timer so that backends can
record when the rendering starts and finishes
wlr_render_timer_get_time - should be called as late as possible so that
queries can make their way back from the GPU
wlr_render_timer_destroy - self-explanatory
The timer is exposed as an opaque `struct wlr_render_timer` so that
backends can store whatever they want in there.
Replace our current logic to setup the primary swapchain with
wlr_output_configure_primary_swapchain().
- Removes some code, reducing duplication
- Stop overwriting wlr_output.swapchain with a yet-to-be-tested
swapchain: remove the error_destroy_swapchain label.
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.
In output_ensure_buffer() we create a swapchain and attach an empty
buffer to the output if necessary. We do that during the first commit.
This is fine when the first commit enables the output, however this breaks
when the first commit disables the output. A commit which disables an
output and has a buffer attached is invalid (see output_basic_test()), and
makes the DRM backend crash:

Fixes: 3be6658ee7 ("output: allocate swapchain on first commit")
Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/7373
On first commit, require a new buffer if the compositor called a
mode-setting function, even if the mode won't change. This makes it
so the swapchain is created now.
Stop trying to check whether the backend supports buffer-less modesets
because that makes everything more complicated. For instance, the
DRM backend doesn't need a new buffer if the previous DRM master left
the output enabled.

Some compositors want to have full control over the buffers attached
to the output, and don't want to use the internal swapchain. Such
compositors include KWinFT (allocates its buffers on its own) and
gamescope (uses a headless output without any buffers).
Let's just make output_ensure_buffer() a no-op in that case.
In wlr_output_attach_render(), stop setting
wlr_output.pending.buffer. This removes one footgun: using the
wlr_buffer at that stage is invalid, because rendering operations
haven't been flushed to the GPU yet. We need to wait until
output_clear_back_buffer() for the wlr_buffer to be used safely.
Instead, set wlr_output.pending.buffer in wlr_output_test() and
wlr_output_commit().
Additionally, move the output_clear_back_buffer() from
wlr_output_commit_state() to wlr_output_commit(). This reduces the
number of calls in the failure path.
If the first test in output_ensure_buffer() fails with modifiers we
replace the swapchain with a modifierless swapchain and try again.
However if that fails as well the output is currently stuck without
modifiers until the next modeset.
To fix this, destroy the modifierless swapchain if the test using it
fails. The next output_attach_back_buffer() call will create a swapchain
that allows modifiers when needed.
This refactors output_ensure_buffer() to not mutate the state passed,
making the previous subtle behavior much more explicit.
Fixes: d483dd2f ("output: add wlr_output_commit_state")
Closes: #3442
DRM formats with an empty modifier list are invalid. Instead of
emptying the list, reduce it to { INVALID }.
Add a check to make sure the renderer and backend support implicit
modifiers, so that we don't fallback on e.g. Vulkan.
Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/6692
This allows compositors to get primary formats without manually
calling wlr_output_impl.get_primary_formats.
For example, the Sway patch for linux-dmabuf feedback [1] needs
this.

This change introduces new double buffered state to the wlr_output,
corresponding to the buffer format to render to.
The format being rendered to does not control the bit depth of colors
being sent to the display; it does generally determine the format with
which screenshot data is provided. The DRM backend _may_ sent higher
bit depths if the render format depth is increased, but hardware and
other limitations may apply.
Most (and possibly all) compositors using wlroots only ever render
fully opaque content. To provide better performance, this change
switches the default format used by wlr_output buffers from
ARGB8888 to the opaque XRGB8888.
Compositors like mutter, kwin, and weston already default to
XRGB8888, so this change is unlikely to expose any new bugs in
underlying drivers and hardware.
This does not affect the hardware cursor's buffer format, which is
still ARGB8888 by default.
As part of this change, the X11 backend (which does not support
changing format at runtime) now picks a true color, 24 bit depth
visual (i.e. XRGB8888) instead of a 32 bit depth (ARGB8888) one.
This makes it possible for the two functions using output_pick_format
(output_pick_cursor_format and output_create_swapchain) to select
different buffer formats.
The backend and renderer don't directly interact together, so there's
no point in checking that their buffer caps intersect. What we want to
check is that:
- The backend and allocator buffer caps are compatible, because the
backend consumes buffers to display them.
- The renderer and allocator buffer caps are compatible, because the
renderer imports buffers to sample them or render to them.
For instance, when running with the DRM backend and the Pixman renderer,
the (backend & renderer) check will fail because backend = DMABUF and
renderer = DATA_PTR.
This organizes the wlr_output implementation into separate files.
This avoids having a single mega-file with lots of unrelated parts
and makes it more obvious what the interactions between all the
parts are.
No functional changes, just moving code around.
