One of the major issues with the old tracking code is a data race
between the cursor thread updating g_cursor.guest and the
app_handleMouseBasic function. Specifically, the latter may have
sent mouse input via spice that has not been processed by the guest
and updated g_cursor.guest, but the guest may overwrite g_cursor.guest
to a previous state before the input is processed. This causes some
movements to be doubled. Eventually, the cursor positions will
synchronize, but this nevertheless causes a lot of jitter.
In this commit, we introduce a new field g_cursor.projected, which
is unambiguously the position of the cursor after taking into account
all the input already sent via spice. This is synced up to the guest
cursor upon entering the window and when the host restarts. Afterwards,
all mouse movements will be based on this position. This eliminates
all cursor jitter as far as I could tell.
Also, the cursor is now synced to the host position when exiting
capture mode.
A downside of this commit is that if the 1:1 movement patch is not
correctly applied, the cursor position would be wildly off instead
of simply jittering, but that is an unsupported configuration and
should not matter.
Also unsupported is when an application in guest moves the cursor
programmatically and bypassing spice. When using those applications,
capture mode must be on. Before this commit, we try to move the guest
cursor back to where it should be, but it's inherently fragile and
may lead to scenarios such as wild movements in first-person shooters.
Using a macro ENABLE_OPENGL just like ENABLE_EGL to optionally remove
OpenGL implementation code. This is mostly because on Wayland it's just
a rehash of the EGL code (as EGL is the only way to create OpenGL
contexts on Wayland).
As the window manager may change our mode to full screen without our
request we must ask the ds backend for the current state when we want to
toggle the mode.
If the guest has it's output rotated (ie, landscape) we must rotate and
translate the pointer draw location, as well as all the translations of
cursor coordinate spaces based on the rotation, along with any local
rotations that may also be applied.
zwp_relative_pointer_manager_v1 and zwp_pointer_constraints_v1 are
supported by GNOME/KDE/sway (and most other compositors), but they are
not a required part of the protocol.
Some users also run software in one-off nested compositors like cage[0]
for an extra layer of isolation; cage, at least, does not support
pointer captures.
This commit makes Looking Glass warn when an optional protocol is
unsupported, and fail if a required one is missing. Pointer grab paths
have a new guard against the aforementioned protocols being missing.

We are actually getting mouse events directly from Wayland instead of going
through SDL, so we call app_updateCursorPos in pointer motion handlers and
swallow the SDL event.
Also removed parameters for app_handleMouseBasic as it relies exclusively on
absolute positions provided by app_updateCursorPos. Wayland does not give
you relative movements at all unless grabbed and passing absolute movements
is semantically incorrect.
Note that when the cursor is grabbed, movements are handled entirely through
relativePointerMotionHandler in wayland.c and does not go through
app_handleMouseBasic at all.
Platforms such as Wayland have no abillity to warp the cursor, as such
can not operate in an always relative mode. This property allows
platforms to report the lack of warp support and prevent LG from
grabbing the pointer.
Some platforms such as Wayland need to set environment vairables before
SDL is initialized, as such this change detects the display server
before SDL has started and calls the new `earlyInit` method providing
the implementation an opportunity to set things up.
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`
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.
