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.
Sometimes the headless backend is used standalone with the Pixman
renderer, sometimes it's used together with another backend which
has already picked a DRM FD. In both of these cases it doesn't make
sense to pick a DRM FD.
Broadly speaking the headless backend doesn't really care which DRM
device is used for the buffers it receives. So it doesn't really
make sense to tie it to a particular DRM device.
Let the backend users (e.g. wlr_renderer_autocreate) open an arbitrary
DRM FD as needed instead.
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.
Rely on wlr_output's generic swapchain support instead of creating our
own. The headless output now simply keeps a reference to the front buffer
and does nothing else.
Instead of managing our own renderer and allocator, let the common
code do it.
Because wlr_headless_backend_create_with_renderer needs to re-use
the parent renderer, we have to hand-roll some of the renderer
initialization.
Instead of requiring callers to manually make the EGL context current
before binding a buffer and unsetting it after unbinding a buffer, do
it inside wlr_renderer_bind_buffer.
This hides renderer-specific implementation details inside the
wlr_renderer interface. Non-GLES2 renderers may not use EGL.
This removes all EGL dependencies from the backends.

I was about to add a check to fail instead of crash when the compositor
uses direct scan-out, but with renderer v6 it's so simple to just add
support for direct scan-out, why bother?

The output backend API is now mostly state-less thanks to the atomic
hooks (commit and test). There is one exception though: attach_render.
This function makes the rendering context current. However sometimes the
compositor might decide not to render after attach_render (e.g. when
there's nothing new to render to the back buffer). Thus
wlr_output_rollback has been introduced to revert the pending state.
Because the output backend API is mostly state-less, the only thing
wlr_output_impl.rollback needs to do is revert the current rendering
context. Rename the function to rollback_render to make this clear. Add
a check in the common wlr_output code to only call rollback_render when
attach_buffer has been previously called.
On the long term, we'll be able to remove attach_render and
rollback_render together.
This function can be called after wlr_egl_make_current to cleanup the
EGL context. This avoids having lingering EGL contexts that make things
work by chance.
Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/2197
Most of the pending output state is not forwarded to the backend prior
to an output commit. For instance, wlr_output_set_mode just stashes the
mode without calling any wlr_output_impl function.
wlr_output_impl.commit is responsible for applying the pending mode.
However, there are exceptions to this rule. The first one is
wlr_output_attach_render. It won't go away before renderer v6 is
complete, because it needs to set the current EGL surface.
The second one is wlr_output_attach_buffer.
wlr_output_impl.attach_buffer is removed in [1].
When wlr_output_rollback is called, all pending state is supposed to be
cleared. This works for all the state except the two exceptions
mentionned above. To fix this, introduce wlr_output_impl.rollback.
Right now, the backend resets the current EGL surface. This prevents GL
commands from affecting the output after wlr_output_rollback.
This patch is required for FBO-based outputs to work properly. The
compositor might be using FBOs for its own purposes [2], having leftover
FBO state can have bad consequences.

wlr_output.description is a string containing a human-readable string
identifying the output. Compositors can customise it via
wlr_output_set_description, for instance to make the name more
user-friendly.

This commit makes more output properties (mode, enabled, scale and transform)
atomic. This means that they are double-buffered and only applied on commit.
Compositors now need to call wlr_output_commit after setting any of those
properties.
Internally, backends still apply properties sequentially. The behaviour should
be exactly the same as before. Future commits will update some backends to take
advantage of the atomic interface. Some backends are non-atomic by design, e.g.
the X11 backend or the legacy DRM backend.
Updates: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/1640
The backend doesn't need to handle transform changes, since everything is done
in software. In fact, all of the implementations were all identical and just
set the transform.
We could add support for hardware transforms, but:
- This would require a different field (something like hardware_transform)
- Not all combinations are possible because there often are hardware
limitations
- The Wayland protocol isn't ready for this (in particular xdg-output, see [1])
This belongs to a different patch series anyway.

This updates the backend part of the output API. This is mostly renaming:
make_current becomes attach_render and swap_buffers becomes commit.
This also fixes the RDP backend to support NULL damage.
The deleted includes are redundant, because other headers will include
the necessary files. Additionally, they cause build failures, because
including EGL/egl.h or EGL/eglext.h directly, instead of through
wlr/render/egl.h or wlr/render/interface.h, will mean that
MESA_EGL_NO_X11_HEADERS will not have been defined, and so the EGL
headers will attempt to pull in unnecessary X11 headers that may not
exist on the system.
For the headers produced by glgen.sh, the includes couldn't simply be
deleted, because no other header would include the EGL headers. Neither
wlr/render/egl.h or wlr/render/interface.h felt appropriate to include,
so I opted instead to copy the MESA_EGL_NO_X11_HEADERS definition before
the EGL includes.

This improves the way the output numbers are handled for the headless
backend. Instead of using the number of active outputs plus one, the
last used number is stored and new outputs will increment it. This
fixes the situation where you start with one output, create a second,
close the first, and create a third. Without this, both outputs will be
HEADLESS-2, which causes an issue since the identifier will also be
identical. With this, the last output is HEADLESS-3 and the outputs can
be distinguished.
