-# Wayland compositor
-
-When the AGL project was started, weston was chosen as the compositor, which is
-the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, while for window management
-functionality it relied on *ivi-shell* (In-Vehicle Infotainment) together
-with an extension, called [wayland-ivi-exension](https://github.com/GENIVI/wayland-ivi-extension).
-
-A demo platform image of AGL comes with a handful of demo applications, done
-with the Qt, which abstracts the protocol communication between the client and
-the compositor. Additional functionality was in place under the form of
-library, to control and signal back to the compositor when applications were
-started, among other things.
-
-Management of applications, starting, running and stopping them is done in AGL
-with AppFW [Application Framework Management](../3_Developer_Guides/1_Application_Framework/1_Introduction.md),
-which is an umbrella name to denote the suite of tools and daemons that handle
-all of that. It is integrated with systemd and with the current security model.
-Applications can use AppFW to hang off data, and to pass it down to
-other services. Together with AppFW, applications could tell the compositor
-which application to activate or to switch to.
-
-
-## Simplifying the graphical stack
-
-Trimming down these abstractions, simplifying the way clients interact with the
-compositor, and avoid using modules that aren't really maintained upstream were
-the reasons behind looking at alternatives to ivi-shell. On the desktop,
-[xdg-shell](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/raw/master/stable/xdg-shell/xdg-shell.xml)
-is currently de-facto protocol for handling all window management related
-functionality.
-
-Wayland protocol has a window-like interface embedded into its protocol (called
-wl_shell), but *xdg-shell* has long time ago deprecated it and instead
-of adding it in the wayland protocol namespace, it was integrated
-together with some other useful protocols, into
-[wayland-protocols](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols)
-project.  The whole purpose of wayland-protocols is to enhance the Wayland
-protocol with new functionality and bring new extensions entirely.  Compositors
-are free to implement, modify, enhance, and add new extensions to
-wayland-protocols but they need to do so in consensus.
-
-Besides the core wayland protocol and extended functionality from
-wayland-protocols, a compositor can provide and implement additional protocol
-extensions (custom to that compositor). By using such private extensions we
-align with the AGL project and its requirements, without compromising specific
-functionality and allows to add or improve the current ones. With that in mind,
-the approach was to create a new compositor, called
-[agl-compositor](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/admin/repos/src/agl-compositor)
-and implement dedicated private extensions, rather than trying to modify weston
-itself, which AGL project would have been required to keep and maintain for
-itself, as a fork.
-
-## A compositor based on libweston
-
-The compositor used currently in AGL, just like weston, is built on top of
-*libweston* and *libweston-desktop*. The latter, among other things, is required
-as it provides the server side implementation of the xdg-shell protocol which
-underlying toolkits (like Qt/Chromium project) makes use of to deliver
-desktop-like functionality. The former is used to provide back-ends and
-rendering support, effectively managing the HW, besides implementing the
-wayland protocol.
-
-The high-level goal of [libweston](https://wayland.pages.freedesktop.org/weston/toc/libweston.html) is
-to decouple the compositor from the shell implementation.
-
-Traditionally, clients were entirely separated from the window manager, the
-desktop environment and the display server. In wayland all these are
-conceptually under the same entity though they are implemented as different
-(UNIX) processes, or as a different namespaces with front and back-end APIs,
-exposed by libraries. The compositor and the shell driving the UI should be
-seen as one and the same, and in practice, this happens on desktop
-environments. For AGL, the shell client can be represented under different
-forms, as well as the fact that the process management has another layer
-baked-in to handle MAC (Mandatory Access Control) labels and use the
-above-mentioned Application Framework. These are all tightly
-integrated and therefore, the AGL compositor will not automatically start the
-shell client, although there's code to handle that.
-
-## Specifying a shell client to be started by the compositor
-
-Nevertheless, one can modify the configuration file, add the shell client path, and the
-compositor will attempt to start it.
-
-```
-[shell-client]
-command=/path/to/your/client/shell
-```
-
-
-
-## Private extensions
-
-Compositors can define and implement custom extensions to further control
-application behaviour. For AGL, we have two private extensions defined.
-One targeted at defining surface roles commonly found in desktop environments
-(like panels, and backgrounds), which a shell client would bind to, and one
-targeted at regular application(s) that might require additional functionality:
-being able to display/activate its own surface or other's application surface,
-implement some kind of split screen management of windows, or
-dialog/pop-ups that exhibit always-on-top property even if the active
-surface has been changed.
-
-![Layers_And_Extensions](images/agl-compositor/drawing_shell.png)
-
-Clients can make use of these private extensions to define other kind of roles
-for instance dialog/pop-ups or full-screen roles, and split windows vertically or
-horizontally. It includes the ability to activate other applications, assuming
-that the surfaces have been created, and the capability of delaying
-presentation for the client shell. Doing so, all the information is displayed
-at once, rather than waiting for the toolkit to map/show the surface.
-
-An application identification mechanism was required to be able to activate
-other clients windows/surfaces. A string-based identifier name was chosen
-which can be used by the client to set an application-based identifier using
-the xdg-shell protocol. While there's nothing stopping the client to avoid
-doing that, specifically, to avoid assigning an application identifier,
-the compositor won't be able to find which surfaces matches to a particular
-client, if one would want to activate/display it at some time in the future.
-
-### agl-shell
-
-Client shellls can make use of this protocol to define panels and background
-roles for different surfaces. It includes to ability to activate other
-applications, assuming that those are already running. Activation happens by
-using using the app_id, respectively using set_app_id request as defined by the
-xdg-shell protocol. Established client-side implementation of the xdg-shelll
-protocol will have a function exposed which can be used to set an application
-identifier.  Further more, the compositor will not present/display anything to
-the user as long the `ready()` is not requested. So, after creating the surfaces
-assigning them panel and/or background roles, and they're fully loaded,
-the client can then issue `ready()` request and the compositor will start
-presenting.
-
-Please consult the [protocol file](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=src/agl-compositor.git;a=blob_plain;f=protocol/agl-shell.xml;hb=refs/heads/master)
-as that is the authoritative way of getting the latest version.
-
-#### V2 updates
-
-Version 2 of the agl-shell protocol, while it is is not obligatory to be
-supported by the shell client, it adds two new events: bound_ok and bound_fail
-events.
-
-It has been observed that in some cases where we do not explicitly have a knob
-in the toolkit to tell whether the application is a regular one (which doesn't
-need to bind to the agl-shell protocol) or a one that needs to implement
-agl-shell protocol might result in terminating the wayland connection.
-
-That happens because we can't have multiple clients bind to the agl-shell
-protocol interface and was particularly visible when using regular
-flutter applications with other shell clients (Qt homescreen, or WAM/chromum),
-basically mashing together different kind of toolkits in the same image. Once
-a client has already bound to the agl-shell protocol interface any other client
-that attempts to do same will get its wayland connection severed and the
-application will be terminated.
-
-These two events provide a race-free method in which the clients can tell if
-they're in charge (of being the shell client) or their just regular
-applications. Explicitly implementing this protocol if you have other means to
-specify which type of application it is running wouldn't be required nor
-necessary. But by using the protocol we can provide the same thing,
-programmatically, without fearing that the wayland connection might be
-severed, and implicitly taking down the application.
-
-#### V3 updates
-
-Version 3 of the agl-shell protocol adds 4 more events to signal out when the
-application state was changed: started, activated, deactivated and terminated.
-
-Version 3 update was mostly prompted by an issue with start-up of applications
-but also is part of the first steps to reduce and simplify a bit more
-activation handling in the compositor.  Specifically with this protocol update,
-we can correctly orchestrate start-up and activation of applications.
-
-At the moment of adding this protocol update, the default compositor behaviour
-is to display/activate applications as soon they're started, a feature which
-we've called activate-by-default (and which is turned on by default).
-But users can choose to disable that in such a way that activation is entirely
-driven the shell client.
-
-Implicitly having this activate-by-default papered over various
-issue when don't have that activation by default turned on. Supporting both
-use-cases (activate-by-default, on and off) turned out to be cluster of
-problems and regression over time. Not only that the amount of complexity in
-the compositor is unwarranted and can simplified by telling the shell client
-handle any window management interaction on its own.
-
-Further more, with this protocol update we also includes some events already
-present in the agl-shell-desktop protocol like  deactivate and terminate.
-
-### agl-shell-desktop
-
-This extension is targeted at keeping some of the functionally already
-established in AGL as to a) allow applications display/activate other
-surfaces/application window, and b) set further roles, specially dialog/window
-pop-ups and split-type of surfaces.
-
-Clients can make use of this protocol to set further roles, like independently
-positioned pop-up dialog windows, split type of surfaces or fullscreen ones.
-Additional roles, and implicitly functionality can be added by extending the
-protocol. These roles serve as hints for the compositor and should be used
-before the actual surface creation takes place, such that the compositor can
-take the necessary steps to satisfy those requirements.
-
-Please consult the [protocol file](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=src/agl-compositor.git;a=blob_plain;f=protocol/agl-shell-desktop.xml;hb=refs/heads/master)
-as that is the authoritative way of getting the latest version.
-
-#### Additional surface roles in agl-shell-desktop
-
-Like mentioned earlier, the compositor is already making use of some (internal)
-roles, and with this extension we add some further ones. These are:
-
-* split (there's vertical and a horizontal one)
-* fullscreen
-* dialog/pop-up
-
-Internally these are encoded with different values such that there's a
-translation needed, between the protocol values and the internal ones.  Besides
-the roles, additional data can to be passed on, but only depending on the role.
-It is highly recommend **to avoid** using the protocol to pass down information
-between different applications using this communication channel. It is only
-intended to help out with demo applications. Other sharing mechanism are
-available in the AGL project that can satisfy those requirements.
-
-#### Receiving application state events from (other) applications
-
-agl-shell-desktop exposes two events which client can install handlers for, one
-that signals when regular xdg application have been created, and one that
-signals state changes (active/hidden) as well as destroyed/no longer present
-surfaces. These events can be useful to add additional functionality if
-needed.
-
-#### Activating (other) applications
-
-Both agl-shell and agl-shell-desktop have requests to activate other
-application based on their xdg-shell app_id. In case the application is
-present/running, it will attempt to make the surface backing that application
-the current activate one, with each output having independently active
-surfaces.
-
-## Explicit output
-
-The activation and setting surface roles requires passing a Wayland output
-(wl_output).  The output is the wayland interface representation of an output
-and is **mandatory** to pass it down to the compositor when activating a surface.
-Clients can retrieve it (the output) if they wish to place the surface on other
-outputs by using the toolkits that expose the Wayland objects.  A human-like
-representation is provided by either the toolkit, or by using other extensions
-implemented by the client, for instance [xdg-output](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/raw/master/unstable/xdg-output/xdg-output-unstable-v1.xml)
-is the one recommended way and provides a mapping between a human
-representation of the output and the wayland one.
-
-One can also choose the output where the application can start, by configuring
-directly the AGL compositor. Under the `[output]` section one can use
-`agl-shell-app-id=appid` restart the AGL compositor unitd systemd service and
-start the application. Currently this *only* applies to regular applications, the
-client shell having to handle it in the code.
-
-## Available toolkits, application conversions and available eco-systems
-
-Users and OEM vendors alike have the possibility, depending on their use-cases,
-to either use some kind of a toolkit (Qt/GTK) for writing  application,
-or use plain C and the wayland library to communicate with the compositor
-directly, without any toolkit abstraction.
-
-Currently, the demo applications in AGL use the Qt platform with Chromium being
-at this phase, a second-class citizen, being currently in the works of
-achieving the same level of integration as QtWayland (the underlying library that
-abstracts the Wayland interaction) has at this moment. The Qt platform has
-long been favoured in embedded systems so it feels natural why AGL project
-chose it over other alternatives.  In the same time, as web applications are
-for quite some time now permeating the application development scene, it also
-felt natural to add support for a runtime that gives that option, which in AGL
-was achieved with the help of the Chromium project.
-
-For normal applications, not needing the ability to activate or displaying
-other's application surface, would basically mean that it would use what the
-toolkit has to offer, simplifying the application handling even more.  Under
-Qt, the client shell can use QPA (Qt Platform Abstraction) to gain access to
-Wayland primitives, and implicitly is being able use the private extensions.
-
-![Architecture Diagram](images/agl-compositor/arch_diagram.png)
-
-On the Chromium side of things, that happens indirectly, as Chromium doesn't
-expose the Wayland primitives. Not only that, but on the Chromium platform,
-there's another mid-layer component, called [WAM](https://github.com/webosose/wam)
-(WebApplicationManager) with the purpose of handling web applications life-cycle.
-
-So, controlling and passing information from a web application, that resembles
-that of a shell client, has to travel more than a few levels in the software
-stack, until it reaches the lower layers in Chromium where the Wayland
-communication and interaction takes place. Support for the private extension
-was done at the Ozone interface abstraction, which Chromium projects uses now
-to handle the display/graphical interaction with the lower stack levels.
-
-## Streaming buffers and receiving events to and from remote outputs
-
-Quite a common feature, in the infotainment market, is the ability to stream
-out buffers/data to remote outputs. For instance, super-imposing the navigation
-application, between the speedometer and tachometer, in the IC (Instrument
-Cluster) of a car is such a scenario. Just like weston, the AGL compositor is
-capable of loading up libweston modules and make use of them. And just like
-weston, the AGL compositor loads up the remoting-plugin to achieve the same
-thing.
-
-The remoting-plugin uses the DRM virtual output API from libweston together
-with gstreamer pipeline to capture, using DMA buffers, the DRM output and to
-stream it, remotely to another machine. They can be over the network, or
-locally.
-
-Further more, to cope with situations where the output is just a
-panel/display, without some kind of compositor driving it, the necessity of
-handling input events is an important feature to have, giving the user to
-possibility to manipulate the application/environment as he or she seems fit.
-The compositor loads a plug-in that streams out the buffers to an output
-remotely, with [another plug-in](2_waltham-receiver_waltham-transmitter.md)
-handling the input events. The events, which are sent back from the display to
-the compositor, are generated with the help of wayland-eque protocol that works
-over the network, called [Waltham](https://github.com/waltham/waltham).
-
-Together, they provide proper means to achieve a seamless integration with
-other display devices in the car cabin.
-
-## Policies and Role Base Arbitration
-
-The compositor contains an API useful for implementing user-defined policies.
-It contains a policy engine, and installs by default an allow-all kind of
-policy. The policy engine controls if the client using the private extensions
-is permitted to perform those calls. Not only that, but with some policies, it
-won't allow the client to bind to the interfaces in the first place. That
-happens with the deny-all policy, which is able to retrieve the client's
-SMACK label and compares it with the ones statically defined.
-
-In the works, there's a new policy model, called [Role Based
-Arbitration](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/admin/repos/staging/rba).
-Internally, how it works, should be found at [RBA](3_rba.md).
-While the other two policies are embedded into the compositor, the RBA policy
-model is an off the-shell policy.  Obviously, vendors and users can hook up
-their own policies, just like RBA did.  These all work towards satisfying
-the driver distraction mitigation requirement for the AGL project, as to avoid
-overwhelming the driver with too much information.
-
-Users wanting  to create their own policy should create a specialized version
-of the callbacks defined in `struct ivi_policy_api`.
-
-As there's no dynamic loading of policies you'll need to recompile the compositor
-with that policy in mind, specifically like the following:
-
-	$ meson -Dprefix=/path/to/install-compositor/ -Dpolicy-default=my_policy build_directory
-
-The default policy found in src/policy-default.c should more than sufficient to
-get started on creating new ones. Users can either re-purpose the default
-policy or create a new one entirely different, based on their needs.
-
-These are hooks in place by the policy engine control the creation, committing
-and activation of surfaces (`ivi_policy_api::surface_create()`,
-`ivi_policy_api::surface_commited()`, `ivi_policy_api::surface_activate()`),
-among other situations.
-
-Users can customize the hooks by using some sort of database to retrieve the
-application name to compare against, or incorporate some kind of policy rule
-engine.  Alternatively, one can use the deny-all policy engine which allows the
-top panel applications to be used/displayed as permitted applications.
-
-### Reactive rules
-
-The policy engine is stateful,  and allows the ability to inject back events,
-such that it allows the user to add custom rules into a policy and, depending
-on the event received by the policy engine, to execute a rule match for that
-event. Further more, the framework allows adding new states and events and the
-default implementation has code for handling events like showing or hiding the
-application specified in the policy rule.  The most common example to exemplify
-this feature is the ability to show a custom application, like displaying the
-rear view camera application, when the automobile has been put in reverse.
-
-For deadling with these kind of rules, `ivi_policy_api::policy_rule_allow_to_add()`
-can be used to control if policy rules could be added or not. Finally, we have
-`ivi_policy_api::policy_rule_try_event()` which is executed for each policy
-rule added, by using the policy API `ivi_policy_add()` function.
-
-By default the policy framework it will add the 'show', and 'hide' events and
-the 'start', 'stop' and 'reverse' states. An special type, assigned by default
-is 'invalid'.  A **state change** has to be propagated to the compositor, which can
-happen by using `ivi_policy_state_change()` function, and which signals the
-compositor the state change took place, in order to apply the policy rules, and
-implicitly to call the event handler `ivi_policy_api::policy_rule_try_event()`.
-
-## Back-ends and specific options for agl-compositor
-
-The compositor has support for the following back-ends:
-
-* **DRM/KMS** - runs a stand-alone back-end, uses Direct Rendering Manager/Kernel
-  Modesetting and evdev, that is utilizes and runs on real or virtualized HW
-  (qemu/Vbox/etc).
-* **Wayland** - runs as a Wayland application, nested in another Wayland compositor
-  instance
-* **X11** - run as a x11 application, nested in a X11 display server instance
-
-### Building and running the compositor on different platforms
-
-The compositor can run on desktop machines as easily as it does on AGL
-platform. It should infer, depending on the environment, if it is being
-compiled with the AGL SDK, or with the host build system.  Running would also
-be inferred from the environment.
-
-The compositor has some additional configuration options like:
-
-* `--debug` - enables the screenshooter interface, useful if one would want to
-  take a screenshot using `agl-screenshooter` client. This might be seen as a
-  security risk to it only be enabled in the AGL platform if built with agl-devel
-  DISTRO FEATURES.
-
-Additional configuration ini options have been added to help with the CI
-integration. Worth mentioning are:
-
-* `activate-by-default=[true]` - if the surface of the client should be
-  displayed when the application started. Present in the `[core]` section.
-  By default set to `true`. Setting it to `false` will not activate,
-  by default, the client's surface when started.
-* `hide-cursor=[false]` - do not advertise pointer/cursor to clients. Present
-  in the `[core]` section.
-
-## Running with software rendering
-
-By default the compositor will attempt to use the GL-renderer, and implicitly
-the GPU. One could instead use the CPU, by making use of the Pixman library. To
-use it in the compositor append `--use-pixman` to the command line. This purely
-software approach has the benefit that would not rely at all on any GL
-implementatation or library. In constrast, even if the GL-renderer is used,
-in some situations it won't be able to use the GPU supported implementation
-and fallback to sofware based one, and for instance that might happen when
-running in virtualized environments.
-
-Both approaches could end up not actually using the GPU, but the latter does
-actually use the GL library and perform the operations in software, while the
-former does not use any GL whatsover. All back-ends support disabling the
-GL-render to make sure it does not interfere with the composing process.
-
-## Multiple output set-up and touch input devices
-
-There's no deterministic way in which the compositor enables the outputs and
-depending on the input devices, specifically touch input devices, and the way
-the connectors are wired, a touch input device might be associated with a
-different output than the one intended.
-
-A consistent way, that survives a reboot, is to use
-[udev rules](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/udev.7.html), which
-libweston would be able to use such that a particular output is tied/associated
-to a particular touch input device.
-
-For instance, assuming that you have a set-up consisting of 4 outputs, a 4
-touch input devices, when the outputs are being enabled the compositor
-front-end will associate all 4 touch input device -- if they haven't been
-previously being associated to a particular output, to the first enabled
-output.
-
-In order to avoid that, and associate each touch input device to
-their respective output an udev rule can be installed, for the default
-seat (named `seat0`).
-
-Example of a udev rule:
-
-```
-SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="222a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="004a", OWNER="display", ENV{ID_SEAT}="seat0", ENV{WL_OUTPUT}="HDMI-A-1"
-SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="222a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="004b", OWNER="display", ENV{ID_SEAT}="seat0", ENV{WL_OUTPUT}="HDMI-A-2"
-SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="222a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="004c", OWNER="display", ENV{ID_SEAT}="seat0", ENV{WL_OUTPUT}="HDMI-A-3"
-SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="222a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="004d", OWNER="display", ENV{ID_SEAT}="seat0", ENV{WL_OUTPUT}="HDMI-A-4"
-```
-
-Add the following under `/etc/udev/rules.d/91-output.rules` and reload udev
-rules for these changes to take effect:
-
-	$ udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger
-
-Note that in the above example, we use physical seat, named `seat0` which is
-the default physical seat. You can verify that these changes have been applied by
-checking the compositor logs (under `/run/platform/display/compositor.log` file)
-You should be seeing `CONNECTOR-NO by udev` message like the following:
-
-```
-associating input device event0 with output HDMI-A-1 (HDMI-A-1 by udev)
-```
-
-vs
-
-```
-associating input device event0 with output HDMI-A-2 (none by udev)
-```
-
-where the rules are either incorrect or badly written.
-
-Retrieving device attributes could be done archaically using `lsusb` or `lspci`
-or using `udevadm info -a /dev/input/event*` which can provide with a multitude
-of attributes to use. In our above example we only relied `idVendor` and
-`idProduct` but potentially other attributes might be used.
