TearFree support has been available in the modesetting driver for a year
with no issues reported. The code is mature and robust, with error handling
that's been vetted across many hardware configurations.
Notably, TearFree is also the only way to achieve a tear-free desktop with
mismatched displays and transformed CRTCs.
Enable TearFree by default for a smooth desktop experience out of the box.

This adds support for TearFree page flips to eliminate tearing without the
use of a compositor. It allocates two shadow buffers for each CRTC, a back
buffer and a front buffer, and uses damage tracking to minimize excessive
copying between buffers and skip unnecessary flips when the screen's
contents remain unchanged. It works on transformed screens too, such as
rotated and scaled CRTCs.
When PageFlip is enabled, TearFree won't force fullscreen DRI clients to
synchronize their page flips to the vblank interval.
TearFree is disabled by default.

In a setup with both VRR capable and non-VRR capable displays,
it was so far inconsistent if the driver would allow use of
VRR support or not, as "is_connector_vrr_capable" was set to
whatever the capabilities of the last added drm output were.
Iow. the plugging order of monitors determined the outcome.
Fix this: Now if at least one display is VRR capable, the driver
will treat an X-Screen as capable for VRR, plugging order no
longer matters.
Tested with a dual-display setup with one VRR monitor and one
non-VRR monitor. This is also beneficial with the new Option
"AsyncFlipSecondaries".
When we are at it, also add some so far missing description of
the "VariableRefresh" driver option, copied from amdgpu-ddx.

A lut size of 4096 slots has been verified to work correctly,
as tested with amdgpu-kms. Intel Tigerlake Gen12 hw has a very
large GAMMA_LUT size of 262145 slots, but also issues with its
current GAMMA_LUT implementation, as of Linux 5.14.
Therefore we keep GAMMA_LUT off for large lut's. This currently
excludes Intel Icelake, Tigerlake and later.
This can be overriden via the "UseGammaLUT" boolean xorg.conf option
to force use of GAMMA_LUT on or off.
See following link for the Tigerlake situation:

Whenever an unredirected fullscreen window uses pageflipping for a
DRI3/Present PresentPixmap() operation and the X-Screen has more than
one active output, multiple crtc's need to execute pageflips. Only
after the last flip has completed can the PresentPixmap operation
as a whole complete.
If a sync_flip is requested for the present, then the current
implementation will synchronize each pageflip to the vblank of
its associated crtc. This provides tear-free image presentation
across all outputs, but introduces a different artifact, if not
all outputs run at the same refresh rate with perfect synchrony:
The slowest output throttles the presentation rate, and present
completion is delayed to flip completion of the "latest" output
to complete. This means degraded performance, e.g., a dual-display
setup with a 144 Hz monitor and a 60 Hz monitor will always be
throttled to at most 60 fps. It also means non-constant present
rate if refresh cycles drift against each other, creating complex
"beat patterns", tremors, stutters and periodic slowdowns - quite
irritating!
Such a scenario will be especially annoying if one uses multiple
outputs in "mirror mode" aka "clone mode". One output will usually
be the "production output" with the highest quality and fastest
display attached, whereas a secondary mirror output just has a
cheaper display for monitoring attached. Users care about perfect
and perfectly timed tear-free presentation on the "production output",
but cares less about quality on the secondary "mirror output". They
are willing to trade quality on secondary outputs away in exchange
for better presentation timing on the "production output".
One example use case for such production + monitoring displays are
neuroscience / medical science applications where one high quality
display device is used to present visual animations to test subjects
or patients in a fMRI scanner room (production display), whereas
an operator monitors the same visual animations from a control room
on a lower quality display. Presentation timing needs to be perfect,
and animations high-speed and tear-free for the production display,
whereas quality and timing don't matter for the monitoring display.
This commit gives users the option to choose such a trade-off as
opt-in:
It adds a new boolean option "AsyncFlipSecondaries" to the device section
of xorg.conf. If this option is specified as true, then DRI3 pageflip
behaviour changes as follows:
1. The "reference crtc" for a windows PresentPixmap operation does a
vblank synced flip, or a DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC non-synchronized
flip, as requested by the caller, just as in the past. Typically
flips will be requested to be vblank synchronized for tear-free
presentation. The "reference crtc" is the one chosen by the caller
to drive presentation timing (as specified by PresentPixmap()'s
"target_msc", "divisor", "remainder" parameters and implemented by
vblank events) and to deliver Present completion timestamps (msc
and ust) extracted from its pageflip completion event.
2. All other crtc's, which also page-flip in a multi-display configuration,
will try to flip with DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC, ie. immediately and
not synchronized to vblank. This allows the PresentPixmap operation
to complete with little delay compared to a single-display present,
especially if the different crtc's run at different video refresh
rates or their refresh cycles are not perfectly synchronized, but
drift against each other. The downside is potential tearing artifacts
on all outputs apart from the one of the "reference crtc".
Successfully tested on a AMD gpu with single-display, dual-display and
triple-display setups, and with single-X-Screen as well as dual-X-Screen
"ZaphodHeads" configurations.

If the kernel exposes GAMMA_LUT and GAMMA_LUT_SIZE properties and the size is
not what the server has pre-configured for the crtc, free the old gamma ramp
memory allocated by the server and replace it with new allocations of the
appropriate size.
In addition, when GAMMA_LUT is available, use drmModeCreatePropertyBlob() and
drmModeObjectSetProperty() to set the gamma ramp rather than using the legacy
drmModeCrtcSetGamma() function.
Add a new option "UseGammaLUT" to allow disabling this new behavior and falling
back to drmModeCrtcSetGamma() unconditionally.
