[PATCH weston v5 00/36] Head-based output configuration API a.k.a clone mode infrastructure

[Pekka Paalanen]

From: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen at collabora.co.uk>

Hi all,

this is v5 (to match the numbering of my public branches) of the libweston user
facing API and infrastructure for supporting shared-CRTC clone mode.

Previous submission with rationale:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2017-October/035604.html

Design document:
https://phabricator.freedesktop.org/w/wayland/weston/atomic-output-config/

The goal:
https://phabricator.freedesktop.org/T7727

Changes in v5 compared to v3 are minor:
- "libweston: properly orphan wl_output resources" is new.
- Removal of wl_output global, when a head is detached from an enabled output.
- Print "Detected a monitor change" only for enabled heads.

You can find this series in the branch:
https://gitlab.collabora.com/pq/weston/commits/clonemode-user-API-5

I went through the same testing procedure as with v3, the previous submission.


However, the interesting bits are in the branch:
https://gitlab.collabora.com/pq/weston/commits/clonemode-4

As new things compared to clonemode-user-API-2, that one contains:
- support for configuring clone mode in weston.ini
- main.c implementation to configure a clode using the new API
- desktop-shell enhancements to avoid redundant panel and background surfaces
  in clone mode
- hooking up custom data to weston_output via a new user-side destroy signal
- naming outputs freely
- DRM-backend support for shared-CRTC clone mode
- video mode list merging in the DRM-backend

The shared-CRTC clone mode has been tested to work on an i.MX6 device.
Unfortunately it seems that PC hardware that would support it is becoming
scarce AFAIU.

Most of the patches in clonemode-4 depend on the atomic modesetting series and
can therefore be submitted only after that one.


Thanks,
pq
