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
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 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.
there was several issues:
- when a surface was made non-current, the last frame wasn't shown and the buffer could stay locked
- when a surface was made current the 2nd time, it would not dequeue a new buffer
now, queue/dequeue are done when the surface is made current.
for this to work, a new query() hook had to be added on android_native_window_t, it allows to retrieve some attributes of a window (currently only width and height).
- 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
The WindowManager side of Surface.java holds a SurfaceControl, while the client-side holds a Surface. When the client is in the system process, Surface.java holds both (which is a problem we'll try to fix later).
SurfaceControl is used for controling the geometry of the surface (for the WM), while Surface is used to access the buffers (for SF's clients).
SurfaceFlingerClient now uses the SurfaceID instead of Surface*.
Currently Surface still has the SurfaceControl API and is implemented by calling into SurfaceControl.
To deal with Java's lack of destructors and delayed garbage collection, we used to duplicate Surface.cpp objects in some case; this caused some issues because Surface is supposed to be reference-counted and unique.
