We free the ValuatorClassRec quite regularly. If a SIGIO is handled while
we're swapping device classes, we can bring the server down when we try to
access lastx/lasty of the master device.
Subject: [PATCH] fix some performance gaps in Xace
The XaceHook function is used in several hotpaths.
The problem with it (performance wise) is twofold:
* The XaceHook function has a big switch() statement for the hook number in it
* The XaceHook function uses varargs to reassemble the final dispatch arguments again
Both are expensive operations... for something that is known at compile time
This patch turns the hotpath XaceHook call into a direct call to avoid
the switch and varargs; this gives me over 10% performance gain
on the x11perf benchmark.
These hints allow an acceleration architecture to optimize allocation of certain
types of pixmaps, such as pixmaps that will serve as backing pixmaps for
redirected windows.
This was an attempt to avoid scratch gc creation and validation for paintwin
because that was expensive. This is not the case in current servers, and the
danger of failure to implement it correctly (as seen in all previous
implementations) is high enough to justify removing it. No performance
difference detected with x11perf -create -move -resize -circulate on Xvfb.
Leave the screen hooks for PaintWindow* in for now to avoid ABI change.
Composite's automatic redirection is a more general mechanism than the
ad-hoc BS machinery, so it's much prettier to implement the one in terms
of the other. Composite now wraps ChangeWindowAttributes and activates
automatic redirection for windows with backing store requested. The old
backing store infrastructure is completely gutted: ABI-visible structures
retain the function pointers, but they never get called, and all the
open-coded conditionals throughout the DIX layer to implement BS are gone.
Note that this is still not a strictly complete implementation of backing
store, since Composite will throw the bits away on unmap and therefore
WhenMapped and Always hints are equivalent.
LessThan/GreaterThan comparisons were used in the wakeup handler,
and LessOrEqual/GreaterOrEqual in the block handler.
Change it to use LessOrEqual/GreaterOrEqual in both functions,
since this is what XSyncNegativeComparison and
XSyncPositiveComparison imply.
We need this to allow extensions to fill in extra data for an event before it
is sent to the client. This is probably to be used like
FillUpEventsFromWindow().
Allow the location of the SERVERCONFIGdir variable to be defined at
compile-time. This allows us to specify where the security policy will be
located (Debian uses this to put it in /etc). The default is to the
previous location.
This counter exposes the time in milliseconds since the last
input event. Clients such as screen savers and power managers
can set an alarm on this counter to find out when the idle time
reaches a certain value, without having to poll the server.
This adds (unconditional) support for the GE extension. Anything from now on
that sends events in MPX will have to use the GE extension. No GE, no MPX
events. GE is not actually used yet from anywhere with this commit.
You will need to update x11proto, xextproto, libX11, libXext and xcb to the
matching xge branches. Things will _NOT_ work without the updated protocol
headers and libraries.
Requires moving the spriteTrace into the DeviceIntRec and adjusting a few
functions to take in device argument, most notably XYToWindow().
Cursor rendering on the second screen is busted.
The former <X11/extensions/XKBsrv.h> has been pulled into the server now as
include/xkbsrv.h, and the world updated to look for it in the new place,
since it made no sense to define server API in an extension header. Any
further work along this line will need to do similar things with XKBgeom.h
and friends.
otherwise a Xi grab may overwrite or release a core grab.
Replace grab and associates with coreGrab and deviceGrab structures,
adjust rest of dix/Xi/etc to compile.
xfree86: Don't check for core devices, we'll have the virtual ones anyway.
If we check, the first mouse device is duplicated and sends
double events.
Free sprite struct if a spriteOwner is paired.
xfree86: Use PairDevices instead of passing booleans around when creating a
sprite.
Xext: Switch back to using LookupPointer/KeyboardDevice instead of
inputInfo.xyz.
