This feature is currently controled by a system property.
"ro.sf.hwrotation" can be set to either 90 or 270. It'll cause
SF to rotate the screen by 90 and 270 degres respectively.
That is, if the driver reports 800x480 for instance, and
ro.sf.hwrotation is set to 90, applications will "see" a
480x800 display and will run in portrait.
This is implemented by introducing an extra "display"
transformation in the GraphicPlane.
There was bug in the logic that calculated the relative timeout, the start time was
reset each time an event was received, which caused the timeout to never occur if
an application was constantly redrawing.
Now we always check for a timeout when we come back from the waitEvent() and
process the "anti-freeze" if needed, regardless of whether an event was received.
When EGLImage extension is not available, SurfaceFlinger will fallback to using
glTexImage2D and glTexSubImage2D instead, which requires 50% more memory and an
extra copy. However this code path has never been exercised and had some bugs
which this patch fix.
Mainly the scale factor wasn't computed right when falling back on glDrawElements.
We also fallback to this mode of operation if a buffer doesn't have the adequate
usage bits for EGLImage usage.
This changes only code that is currently not executed. Some refactoring was needed to
keep the change clean. This doesn't change anything functionaly.
The ANR is caused by SurfaceFlinger waiting for buffers of a removed surface to become availlable.
When it is removed from the current list, a Surface is marked as NO_INIT, which causes SF to return
immediately in the above case. For some reason, the surface here wasn't marked as NO_INIT.
This change makes the code more robust by always (irregadless or errors) setting the NO_INIT status
in all code paths where a surface is removed from the list.
Additionaly added more information in the logs, should this happen again.
We were emitting GL commands, calling composition complete and releasing clients
without ever calling eglSwapBuffers(), which is completely wrong on non-direct
renders. This could cause transient drawing artifacts when unfreezing the
screen (upon orientaion change for instance) and could also block the clients
for ever as they are waiting for their previous buffer to be rendered.
a new method, compostionComplete() is added to the framebuffer hal, it is used by surfaceflinger to signal the driver that the composition is complete, BEFORE it releases its client. This gives a chance to the driver to
Rewrote SurfaceFlinger's buffer management from the ground-up.
The design now support an arbitrary number of buffers per surface, however the current implementation is limited to four. Currently only 2 buffers are used in practice.
The main new feature is to be able to dequeue all buffers at once (very important when there are only two).
A client can dequeue all buffers until there are none available, it can lock all buffers except the last one that is used for composition. The client will block then, until a new buffer is enqueued.
The current implementation requires that buffers are locked in the same order they are dequeued and enqueued in the same order they are locked. Only one buffer can be locked at a time.
eg. Allowed sequence: DQ, DQ, LOCK, Q, LOCK, Q
eg. Forbidden sequence: DQ, DQ, LOCK, LOCK, Q, Q
(in this case the state is dumped without the proper locks held which could result to a crash)
in addition, the last transaction and swap times are printed to the dump as well as the time spent
*currently* in these function. For instance, if SF is unresponsive because eglSwapBuffers() is stuck,
this will show up here.
what happened is that the efective pixel format is calculated by SF but Surface nevew had access to it directly.
in particular this caused query(FORMAT) to return the requested format instead of the effective format.
now, all destruction path, go through the purgatory which is emptied when ~ISurface is called, but we also make sure to remove the surface from the current list from there (in case a client forgot to request the destruction explicitely).
ANDROID_swap_rectangle allows to specify the rectangle affected by eglSwapBuffers(), anything outside of this rectangle is unchanged. in particular EGL_BUFFER_DESTROYED only applies to that rectangle. This extension as well as EGL_BUFFER_PRESERVED allow major optimizations on surfaceflinger, which can redraw only the dirty area during compositing.
However, ANDROID_swap_rectangle allows further optimizations in EGL by reducing the amount of copy-back needed. ANDROID_swap_rectangle is particularily important for software implementations.
- Currently the lock/unlock path is naive and is done for each drawing operation (glDrawElements and glDrawArrays). this should be improved eventually.
- factor all the lock/unlock code in SurfaceBuffer.
- fixed "showupdate" so it works even when we don't have preserving eglSwapBuffers().
- improved the situation with the dirty-region and fixed a problem that caused GL apps to not update.
- make use of LightRefBase() where needed, instead of duplicating its implementation
- add LightRefBase::getStrongCount()
- renamed EGLNativeWindowSurface.cpp to FramebufferNativeWindow.cpp
- disabled copybits test, since it clashes with the new gralloc api
- Camera/Video will be fixed later when we rework the overlay apis
