protocol: add unix GL scanout messages
Add 2 new messages to the display channel to stream pre-rendered GL images of the display. This is only possible when the client supports SPICE_DISPLAY_CAP_GL_SCANOUT capability. The first message, SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_GL_SCANOUT_UNIX, sends a gl image file handle via socket ancillary data, and can be imported in a GL context with the help of eglCreateImageKHR() (as with the 2d canvas, the SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_MONITORS_CONFIG will give the monitors coordinates (x/y/w/h) within the image). There can be only one scanount per display channel. A SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_GL_DRAW message is sent with the coordinate of the region within the scanount to (re)draw on the client display. For each draw, once the client is done with the rendering, it must acknowldge it by sending a SPICE_MSGC_DISPLAY_GL_DRAW_DONE message, in order to release the context (it is expected to improve this in the future with a cross-process GL fence). The relation with the existing display channel messages is that all other messages are unchanged: the last drawing command received must be displayed. However the scanout display is all or nothing. Consequently, if a 2d canvas draw is received, the display must be switched to the drawn canvas. In other words, if the last message received is a GL draw the display should switch to the GL display, if it's a 2d draw message the display should be switched to the client 2d canvas. (there will probably be a stipped-down "gl-only" channel in the future, or support for other streaming methods, but this protocol change should be enough for basic virgl or other gpu-accelerated support) Signed-off-by: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com> Acked-by: Frediano Ziglio <fziglio@redhat.com>
