The existing code would overwrite the texture's data even if the texture
is currently being used to render to screen. This changeset generates a
texture for each buffer preventing this invalid usage.
Reusing cached EGLImages while the frame format has changed will result
in visual artifacts. We should instead destroy the EGLImages and let
them be recreated.
This commit forces the DMA'd memory to be copied into the texture in
the EGL on_frame handler. This avoids tearing when the LG host inevitably
updates the underlying memory. We need an additional copy inside the GPU,
but this is cheap compared to copying from system memory.
We could have used logic to lock the memory buffer, but that would require
performing DMA on every frame, which wastes memory bandwidth. This
manifests as reduced frame rate when moving the mouse compared to the
non-DMA implementation.
We also keep multiple EGLImages, one for each DMA fd, to avoid issues
with the OpenGL driver.
This makes it a compile-time error to call a function that semantically
takes no parameters with a nonzero number of arguments.
Previously, such code would still compile, but risk blowing up the stack
if a compiler chose to use something other than caller-cleanup calling
conventions.
Note: This only works with the KVMFR kernel module in a VM->VM
configuration. If this causes issues it can be disabled with the new
option `app:allowDMA`
The texture buffer may still be in use if we try to re-map it
immediately, instead only map when we need it mapped, and unmap
immediately after advancing the offset allowing the render thread to
continue while the unmap operation occurs
This is a major change to how the LG client performs it's updates. In
the past LG would operate a fixed FPS regardless of incoming update
speed and/or frequency. This change allows LG to dynamically increase
it's FPS in order to better sync with the guest as it's rate changes.
This changes the method of the memory copy from the host application to
the guest. Instead of performing a full copy from the capture device
into shared memory, and then flagging the new frame, we instead set a
write pointer, flag the client that there is a new frame and then copy
in chunks of 1024 bytes until the entire frame is copied. The client
upon seeing the new frame flag begins to poll at high frequency the
write pointer and upon each update copies as much as it can into the
texture.
This should improve latency but also slightly increase CPU usage on the
client due to the high frequency polling.
