add shared memory display channel supportnew
The new protocol is an extension optionally supported by the client if setting this capability bit. It includes 4 new messages, 3 are new messages (SHM_OFFER, SHM_REPLY, SHM_DAMAGE) and one replaces an existing message (SURFACE_CREATE_SHM replaces SURFACE_CREATE), plus a capability bit that both server and client advertise (SPICE_DISPLAY_CAP_SHARED_MEMORY). If the server sees the client capability, it will send MSG_DISPLAY_SHM_OFFER right after the display channel handshake. client replies with MSGC_DISPLAY_SHM_REPLY - accepted = 0 - nothing changes, return to normal behavior - accepted = 1 - shared memory behavior commences as described below. In shared memory mode: 1. every message read from the qxl device (via the qxl interface interface_get_command) is: 1.1 immediately rendered into the framebuffer * since the framebuffer is a shared memory segment, the client can immediately use it. 1.2 server will send a MSG_DISPLAY_SHM_DAMAGE message with the clips buffer from the render command 2. no offscreen surfaces will ever be sent 3. all messages creating/destroying the primary surface (i.e. resolution changes) will be sent as usual, with SURFACE_CREATE_SHM being used, it includes a new field, shm_offset, which allows having multiple primary surfaces on the qemu side being switched between. This is useful for the vga mode where the qxl framebuffer has bpp != 32 and there exists a shadow framebuffer at 32 bpp which will then be used as the primary surface for the spice client. 4. the cursor channel is unaffected (possible future optimization). Future: preventing tearing by adding a MSGC_DISPLAY_SHM_DAMAGE_HANDLED: Server render DAMAGE\ /render DAMAGE\ Client \ HANDLED/ \ ... -------->------->------->------->------->------->------->------->
