[PATCH wayland-protocols v3] protocol: add compositor-debug.xml

Fri Sep 22 09:17:49 UTC 2017
From: Pekka Paalanen <pq at iki.fi>
This is a new debugging extension for non-production environments. The
aim is to replace all build-time choosable debug prints in the
compositor with runtime subscribable debug streams.

+ <description summary="compositor internal debugging">
+ This is a generic debugging interface for the compositor internals,the global
+ object advertized through wl_registry.
+
+ WARNING: This interface by design allows a denial-of-service attack. It
+ should not be offered in production, or proper authorization mechnisms
+ must be enforced.
+
+ The idea is for a client to provide a file descriptor that the server
+ uses for printing debug information. The server uses the file
+ descriptor in blocking writes mode, which exposes the denial-of-service
+ risk. The blocking mode is necessary to ensure all debug messages can
+ be easily printed in place. It also ensures message ordering if a
+ client subcribes to more than one debug stream.
+
+ The available debugging features depend on the server. There is no
+ explicit API for discovering the supported debug stream names. A server
+ should implement a debug stream named "list" where the server prints
+ the names and descriptions of all debug streams it supports to the
+ stream file descriptor.
+
+ A debug stream can be one-shot where the server prints the requested
+ information and then closes it, or continuous where server keeps on
+ printing until the client stops it. Or anything in between.

+ been printed. Otherwise, the server will continue streaming debug
+ prints until the subscription object is destroyed.
+
+ If the debug stream name is unknown to the server, the server will
+ immediately respond with zcompositor_debug_v1.failure event.
