When a driver uses TearFree to flip all frames synchronized to the vblank interval, Present has no idea and still assumes that each presentation occurs immediately upon copying its damages to the primary scanout. This faulty assumption breaks presentation timestamping, potentially leading to A/V de-synchronization and dropped frames. Present needs to have some awareness of a driver using TearFree so that it can know when each presentation actually becomes visible on the screen. Teach Present about drivers using TearFree by expanding PresentFlipReason to allow drivers to export some contextual info about TearFree when Present cannot page-flip directly anyway. PRESENT_FLIP_REASON_DRIVER_TEARFREE indicates that a driver has TearFree enabled but doesn't have a TearFree flip currently pending. PRESENT_FLIP_REASON_DRIVER_TEARFREE_FLIPPING indicates that a driver has a TearFree flip currently pending. Signed-off-by: Sultan Alsawaf <sultan@kerneltoast.com> |

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server
