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.
this would happen is the window is made visible but the client didn't render yet into it. This happens often with SurfaceView.
Instead of filling the window with solid black, SF would simply ignore it which could lead to more disturbing artifacts.
in theory the window manager should not display a window before it has been drawn into, but it does happen occasionnaly.
This change makes SurfaceHolder.setType(GPU) obsolete (it's now ignored).
Added an API to android_native_window_t to allow extending the functionality without ever breaking binary compatibility. This is used to implement the new set_usage() API. This API needs to be called by software renderers because the default is to use usage flags suitable for h/w.
The current gralloc allocates buffer memory for render targets that will typically have NPOT dimensions. Assuming that the vendor driver supports converting the resulting NPOT android_native_buffer_t to a NPOT EGLImage, SurfaceFlinger calls glEGLImageTargetTexture2DOES(), and uses glGetError() to test whether the GL can support creating an EGL target texture with the specified NPOT EGLImage. If it is supported, the DIRECT_TEXTURE flag remains set, otherwise it is cleared.
Tangentially, if the driver advertises the GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two extension, the NPOT_EXTENSION flag is set, otherwise it is cleared.
If the driver supported creating an EGL target texture from a NPOT source EGLImage, it implicitly creates a NPOT texture. This does not need any glScalef() texture coordinate correction in LayerBase::drawWithOpenGL(). However, the same driver may not advertise the GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two extension nor generally support NPOT textures that were not derived from EGLImages. So SurfaceFlinger may flag only DIRECT_TEXTURE, not NPOT_EXTENSION.
Therefore, the test in LayerBase::drawWithOpenGL() should only perform the glScalef() if neither NPOT_EXTENSION or DIRECT_TEXTURE are flagged. Otherwise scaling is applied to NPOT EGL target textures when none is required.

doesn't happen because the visibility never changes. With this change
the overlay parameter and position will be committed when either the visibility
of the window changes, or on the first call to visibility resolved, if it
hasn't already been done.

fix [1947273] the DimLayer causes the whole screen to update during transactions
we can't use a texture of 1/4th of the screen for the dim layer, because the mdp internal input resultion is alwyas integers and for very small blits of a couple pixels the scale factor can get way out of range, for instance for a 7 pixels source, the scale factor would be either 7 (7/1) or 3.5 (7/2) instead of 4 (7/1.75). This caused the mdp to fail in some cases and revert to software. we now always use a texture of the actual screen size, so the problem will never happen. This burns 300KB of pmem instead of 21KB. On devices with a larger screen we might want to use a smaller texture and tile it by hand.
