renderer-native: Implement FrameInfo for KMS [performance] (!144) · Merge requests · GNOME / mutter

Daniel van Vugt requested to merge vanvugt/mutter:add-native-frame-info into master Jun 28, 2018

Add support for CoglFrameInfo/ClutterFrameInfo on KMS (Wayland sessions). Specifically adding hardware presentation time and refresh rate, but also implementing cogl_get_clock_time which is required to compare with presentation times (see !143 (merged)). Previously these were only implemented for the X11 backend.

This is required to enable Clutter to schedule frames at the optimal rate and time. Without it Clutter will just fall back to the default of 60.00Hz.

This is a prerequisite for fixing:

However there remain higher-level issues in Clutter preventing us from declaring that fixed just yet.
