Not all compositors support _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN. In cases
where the compositor doesn't support _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN we don't
need to do all the fancy damage tracking and fence watching.
Furthermore, if the compositor doesn't support _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN,
it's possible that one frame will start before the previous frame has
made it through the pipeline, leading to a blown assertion.
This commit side-steps the unnecessary code and associated assertion
when _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN isn't supported.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/2927
Since commit 972134abe4 we now call
glClientWaitSync for the vendor nvidia driver, to know when a frame
is ready for the compositor to process.
If a surface is hidden while a frame is still being rendered by the GPU,
the surface will never produce the damage event the code relies on to
trigger the call to glClientWaitSync. This leaves the fence dangling,
and the next time the surface is shown, it will start a fresh frame
and blow an assertion since the fence from the last frame is still
hanging around.
This commit ensures a frame gets fully wrapped up before hiding a
surface.
Commit a0f6ff101e made sure that a
context was bound before calling glClientWaitSync, but it doesn't
check that the context shares objects with the context that created
the fence.
This commit does a little more validation before deciding the current
context is good enough.
Since commit 972134abe4 we now call
glClientWaitSync for the vendor nvidia driver, to know when a frame
is ready for the compositor to process.
glClientWaitSync can be called regardless of which context is currently
bound, but if no context is bound at all, it returns 0 without
doing anything.
This commit checks for that edge case, and ensures a context gets
made current in the event no context is already current, before calling
glClientWaitSync.
When given a 0 timeout, glClientWaitSync is only supposed to return one
of three possible values:
- GL_ALREADY_SIGNALED - fence fired
- GL_WAIT_FAILED - there was an error
- GL_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED - fence hasn't fired yet
In addition, it can also return GL_CONDITION_SATISFIED if a non-zero
timeout is passed, and the fence fires while waiting on the timeout.
Since commit 972134abe4 we now call
glClientWaitSync (with a 0 timeout), but one user is reporting it's
returning some value that's not one of the above four.
This commit changes the g_assert to a g_error so we can see what
value is getting returned.

With the vendor provided Nvidia driver there is a small window of time
after drawing to a GL surface before the updates to that surface
can be used by the compositor.
Drawing is already coordinated with the compositor through the frame
synchronization protocol detailed here:
https://fishsoup.net/misc/wm-spec-synchronization.html
Unfortunately, at the moment, GdkX11Surface tells the compositor the
frame is ready immediately after drawing to the surface, not later,
when it's consumable by the compositor.
This commit defers announcing the frame as ready until it's consumable
by the compositor. It does this by listening for the X server to announce
damage events associated with the frame drawing. It tries to find the
right damage event by waiting until fence placed at buffer swap time
signals.
We don't need the complicated wrapper system anymore,
since client-side windows are gone. This commit moves
all the vfuncs to GtkSurfaceClass, and changes the
backends to just derive their surface implementation
from GdkSurface.
As per the spec:
> The back buffer can
> either be reported as invalid (has an age of 0) or it may be
> reported to contain the contents from n frames prior to the
> current frame.
So a buffer age of 1 means that the buffer was used in the last frame.
We were handling buffer_age==1 the same as buffer_age==0, i.e. we
returned the full damage for the surface.

We used to pass 2 regions to GdkDrawCotnext.end_frame() but code was
confusing what they meant. So we now don't do that anymore and only pass
the region that matters: The frame region.
This makes the previous gdk_draw_context_is_drawing() function public
under a new name.
I decided against the old name because we use the term "frame" for a
drawing operation, so I wanted to have this boolean flag reuse the term.
That way, we can store the right region there: The actual painted area
instead of the exposed area (which is way too small).
Also, the GL context is the only user of this data, so storing it there
seems way smarter.
This is an automatic rename of various things related

Remove all the old 2.x and 3.x version annotations.
GTK+ 4 is a new start, and from the perspective of a
GTK+ 4 developer all these APIs have been around since
the beginning.
As far as possible, use per-display debug flags.
This will minimize the debug spew that we get from
the inspector if it is running on a separate display.
Epoxy 1.4 has new ad hoc API that we can use to check whether GLX is
available on the current system.
If we didn't use this API, we'd have to manually dlopen libGL (or its
equivalent on different OSes) and check if it had GLX symbols; since
Epoxy already does all of this internally, we can simply ask it instead.

This is a way to query the damaged area of the backbuffer.
The GL renderer uses this to compute the extents of that damage region
(computed via buffer age) and use them to minimize the area to redraw.
This changes the semantics of GL rendering to "When calling
gdk_window_begin_frame() with a GL context, the area by
gdk_gl_context_get_damage() needs to be redrawn and every other pixel of
the backbuffer is guaranteed to be correct.
After gdk_window_end_frame() on a GL-drawn window, the whole backbuffer
must be correct.
We can always glXBufferSwap() now because of this.
... instead of a gl context.
This requires some refactoring in the way we mark the shared context as
drawing: We now call begin_frame/end_frame() on it and ignore the call
on the main context.
Unfortunately we need to do this check in all vfuncs, which sucks. But I
haven't found a better way.
This way, we can query the GL context's state via
gdk_gl_context_is_drawing().
Use this function to make GL contexts as attached and grant them access
to the front/backbuffer for rendering.
All of this is still unused because GL drawing is still disabled.
No visible changes as GL rendering is disabled at the moment.
What was done:
1. Move window->invalidate_for_new_frame to glcontext->begin_frame
This moves the code to where it is used (the GLContext) and prepares it
for being called where it is used when actually beginning to draw the
frame.
2. Get rid of buffer-age usage
We want to let the application render directly to the backbuffer.
Because of that, we cannot make any assumptions about the contents the
application renders outside the clip area.
In particular GskGLRenderer renders random stuff there but not actual
contents.
3. Pass the actual GL context
Previously, we passed the shared context to end_frame, now we pass the
actual GL context that the application uses for rendering. This is so
that the vfuncs could prepare the actual contexts for rendering (they
don't currently).
4. Simplify the code
The previous code set up the final drawing method in begin_frame.
Instead, we now just ensure the clip area is something we can render
and decide on the actual method in end_frame.
This is both more robust (we can change the clip area in between if we
want to) and less code.
Switch code to use gdk_display_is_composited() instead.
The new code also doesn't use a vfunc to query the property but rather
requires the backend to call set_composited()/set_rgba() to change the
value.
This allows us to decide when the R and B color channels should be
flipped with a much better granularity.
For instance, when using GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap to create a GL
texture from a surface we don't need to swap the R and B channels, as
the internal representation of the texture data will already have the
appropriate colors.
We also don't need to flip color channels when blitting from a texture.
The g_print documentation explicitly says not to do this, since
g_print is meant to be redirected by applications. Instead use
g_message for logging that can be triggered via GTK_DEBUG.
If GLX has support for the GLX_ARB_create_context_profile extension,
then we use the GLX_CONTEXT_COMPATIBILITY_PROFILE_BIT_ARB; if it does
not, we fall back to the old glXCreateNewContext() API.
We use the shared GdkGLContext to decide whether the GLX context should
use the legacy bit or not.
