1. Introduction

The Present extension provides a way for applications to update their
window contents from a pixmap in a well defined fashion, synchronizing
with the display refresh and potentially using a more efficient
mechanism than copying the contents of the source pixmap.

1.1. Future Present extension versions

This document includes speculation about future 'redirect' support
within the Present extension. All such information is subject to
change and is provided only as an aid to further Present development.

2. Data Types

PRESENTEVENTID { XID }

	Defines a unique event delivery target for Present
	events. Multiple event IDs can be allocated to provide
	multiple distinct event delivery contexts.

PRESENTNOTIFY {
	window: WINDOW
	serial: CARD32
	}

	A list of these is passed to PresentPixmap; when the indicated
	PresentPixmap completes, PresentCompletNotify events will be
	delivered both to the PresentPixmap window/serial parameter as
	well as each of the entries in the list of PRESENTNOTIFY parameter.

PRESENTEVENTTYPE { PresentConfigureNotify,
		   PresentCompleteNotify,
		   PresentIdleNotify }

PRESENTEVENTMASK { PresentConfigureNotifyMask,
		   PresentCompleteNotifyMask,
		   PresentIdleNotifyMask }

PRESENTOPTION { PresentOptionAsync,
                PresentOptionCopy,
		PresentOptionUST,
		PresentOptionSuboptimal,
		PresentOptionAsyncMayTear }

PRESENTCAPABILITY { PresentCapabilityAsync,
		    PresentCapabilityFence,
		    PresentCapabilityUST,
		    PresentCapabilityAsyncMayTear,
		    PresentCapabilitySyncobj }

PRESENTCOMPLETEKIND { PresentCompleteKindPixmap,
		      PresentCompleteKindMSCNotify }

PRESENTCOMPLETEMODE { PresentCompleteModeCopy,
		      PresentCompleteModeFlip,
		      PresentCompleteModeSkip,
		      PresentCompleteModeSuboptimalCopy }

The Present extension also uses the Sync extension Fence data type to
provide synchronization for pixmaps.

2.1. Data Types proposed for a later Present extension version

PRESENTEVENTTYPE { ...
		   PresentRedirectNotify }

PRESENTEVENTMASK { ...
		   PresentSubredirectNotifyMask }

3. Errors

EventID
	A value for an EventID argument does not name a defined EventID

			     ❄ ❄ ❄  ❄  ❄ ❄ ❄ 

5. Events

ConfigureNotify events inform clients about window configuration
changes which can affect the allocation of window-related buffers.

CompleteNotify events inform clients about the completion of a pending
PresentPixmap request.

IdleNotify events inform clients when pixmaps are available for re-use.

5.1. Events proposed for a later Present extension version

RedirectNotify events inform clients about other clients PresentPixmap
requests.

6. Extension Initialization

The name of this extension is "Present"

┌───
    PresentQueryVersion
	client-major-version:	CARD32
	client-minor-version:	CARD32
      ▶
	major-version:		CARD32
	minor-version:		CARD32
└───

	The client sends the highest supported version to the server
	and the server sends the highest version it supports, but no
	higher than the requested version. Major versions changes can
	introduce incompatibilities in existing functionality, minor
	version changes introduce only backward compatible changes.
	It is the clients responsibility to ensure that the server
	supports a version which is compatible with its expectations.

	Backwards compatible changes include addition of new
	requests.

7. Extension Requests

┌───
    PresentPixmap
	window: WINDOW
	pixmap: PIXMAP
	serial: CARD32
	valid-area: REGION or None
	update-area: REGION or None
	x-off, y-off: INT16
	target-crtc: CRTC or None
	wait-fence: FENCE
	idle-fence: FENCE
	options: SETofPRESENTOPTION
	target-msc: CARD64
	divisor: CARD64
	remainder: CARD64
	notifies: LISTofPRESENTNOTIFY
└───
	Errors: Window, Pixmap, Match

	Provides new content for the specified window, to be made
	visible at the specified time (defined by 'target-msc', 'divisor'
	and 'remainder'). If the depth of 'pixmap' and 'window' do not
	match, a Match error will be generated.

	'serial' is an arbitrary client-specified value which will
	be returned in the associated PresentCompleteNotify event so
	that the client can associate the event and request.

	'valid-area' defines the portion of 'pixmap' which contains
	valid window contents, or None if the pixmap contains valid
	contents for the whole window.

	'update-area' defines the subset of the window to be updated,
	or None if the whole window is to be updated.

	PresentPixmap may use any region of 'pixmap' which contains
	'update-area' and which is contained by 'valid-area'. In other
	words, areas inside 'update-area' will be presented from
	'pixmap', areas outside 'valid-area' will not be presented
	from 'pixmap' and areas inside 'valid-area' but outside
	'update-area' may or may not be presented at the discretion of
	the X server.

	'x-off' and 'y-off' define the location in the window where
	the 0,0 location of the pixmap will be presented. valid-area
	and update-area are relative to the pixmap.

	PresentPixmap will block until 'wait-fence' is triggered.
	
	When the X server has finished using 'pixmap' for this
	operation, it will send a PresentIdleNotify event and arrange
	for any 'idle-fence' to be triggered. This may be at any time
	following the PresentPixmap request -- the contents may be
	immediately copied to another buffer, copied just in time for
	the vblank interrupt or the pixmap may be used directly for
	display (in which case it will be busy until some future
	PresentPixmap operation).

	If 'idle-fence' is not None, then the client guarantees to the
	X server that it will wait for that fence to be signalled
	before it uses the pixmap again. If 'idle-fence' is None, then
	the X server must arrange for the pixmap to be re-usable by
	the client as soon as the PresentIdleNotify event has been
	received. Note that if PresentCapabilityFence is set for the
	associated CRTC, then clients should use fences to improve
	overall system performance. If PresentCapabilityFence is not
	set, then using fences offers no benefit, but also no cost.

	If 'target-msc' is greater than the current msc for 'window',
	the presentation will occur at (or after) the 'target-msc'
	field. Otherwise, the presentation will occur after the next
	field where msc % 'divisor' == 'remainder'.
	
	If 'target-crtc' is None, then the X server will choose a
	suitable CRTC for synchronization.
	
	If 'options' contains PresentOptionAsync, and the 'target-msc'
	is less than or equal to the current msc for 'window', then
	the operation will be performed as soon as possible, not
	necessarily waiting for the next vertical blank interval. If
	the target-crtc does not support PresentCapabilityAsyncMayTear,
	this may result in tearing.

	If the target-crtc supports PresentCapabilityAsyncMayTear,
	'options' contains PresentOptionAsyncMayTear, and the 'target-msc'
	is less than or equal to the current msc for 'window', then
	the operation will be performed as soon as possible, not
	necessarily waiting for the next vertical blank interval, and
	possibly resulting in tearing.

	If 'options' contains PresentOptionCopy, then 'pixmap' will be
	idle, and 'idle-fence' triggered as soon as the operation occurs.

	If 'options' contains PresentOptionUST, then target-msc,
	divisor and remainder will all be interpreted as UST values
	instead of MSC values and the frame update will be scheduled
	for the specified UST time, If the target-crtc supports
	PresentCapabilityUST, then the swap time will be as close to
	the target time as the driver can manage. Otherwise, the
	server will take the target UST time and convert it to a
	suitable target MSC value.

	If 'options' contains PresentOptionSuboptimal, then the
	PresentCompleteNotify event can have mode
	PresentCompleteModeSuboptimalCopy as the client supports it.

	After the presentation occurs, a PresentCompleteNotify event
	with kind PresentCompleteKindPixmap will be generated, both to
	'window' as well as all members of 'notifies'.

	If 'window' is destroyed before the presentation occurs, then
	the presentation action will not be completed.

	PresentPixmap holds a reference to 'pixmap' until the
	presentation occurs, so 'pixmap' may be immediately freed
	after the request executes, even if that is before the
	presentation occurs.

	If 'idle-fence' is destroyed before the presentation occurs,
	then idle-fence will not be signaled but the presentation will
	occur normally.

	If 'wait-fence' is destroyed before it becomes triggered, then
	the presentation operation will no longer wait for it and will
	occur when the other conditions are satisfied.

┌───
    PresentNotifyMSC
	window: WINDOW
	serial: CARD32
	target-msc: CARD64
	divisor: CARD64
	remainder: CARD64
└───
	Errors: Window

	Delivers a PresentCompleteNotifyEvent with kind
	PresentCompleteKindNotifyMSC after the time specified by
	'target-msc', 'divisor' and 'remainder'.

	'serial' is an arbitrary client-specified value which will be
	returned in the event so that the client can associate the
	event and request.

	If 'target-msc' is greater than the current msc for 'window',
	the event will be delivered at (or after) the 'target-msc'
	field. Otherwise, the event delivery will occur after the next
	field where msc % 'divisor' == 'remainder'.
	
	If 'window' is destroyed before the event is delivered, then
	the event delivery will not be completed.

┌───
    PresentSelectInput
	event-id: PRESENTEVENTID
	window: WINDOW
	eventMask: SETofPRESENTEVENT
└───
	Errors: Window, Value, Match, IDchoice, Access

	Selects the set of Present events to be delivered for the
	specified window and event context. PresentSelectInput can
	create, modify, or delete event contexts. An event context is
	associated with a specific window; using an existing event
	context with a different window generates a Match error.

	If eventContext specifies an existing event context, then if
	eventMask is empty, PresentSelectInput deletes the specified
	context, otherwise the specified event context is changed to
	select a different set of events.

	If eventContext is an unused XID, then if eventMask is empty
	no operation is performed. Otherwise, a new event context is
	created selecting the specified events.

┌───
    PresentQueryCapabilities
	target:			CRTC or WINDOW
      ▶
	capabilities:		SETofPRESENTCAPABILITY
└───
	Errors: Window, CRTC

	Returns the supported capabilities for the target CRTC.  If
	'target' is a CRTC, then it is used as the target CRTC.  If
	'target' is a WINDOW, then the target CRTC is selected by the
	X server from among the CRTCs on the screen specified by the window.

	PresentCapabilityAsyncMayTear means that the target device may be
	able to flip the scanout buffer mid-frame instead of waiting for
	a vertical blank interval. The precise latency between the flip
	request and the actual scanout transition is not defined by this
	specification, but is intended to be no more than a few
	scanlines.

	If PresentCapabilityAsyncMayTear is not supported,
	PresentCapabilityAsync means the same as
	PresentCapabilityAsyncMayTear described above.

	If PresentCapabilityAsyncMayTear is supported,
	PresentCapabilityAsync means that even if there is already a flip
	pending in the target device, it may be possible to replace that
	flip before the next vertical blank interval. The scanout buffer
	does not change mid-frame though, i.e. there is no tearing.

	PresentCapabilityFence means that the target device can take
	advantage of SyncFences in the Present operations to improve
	GPU throughput. The driver must operate correctly in the
	absence of fences, but may have reduced performance. Using
	fences for drivers not advertising this capability should have
	no performance impact.

	PresentCapabilityUST means that the target device can scanout
	the image at an arbitrary UST time value, and is not driven by
	a periodic scanout timer. Applications specifying UST times
	for PresentPixmap can expect that their image will appear to
	the user within a short amount of time from that specified in
	the request. The precise accuracy of the scanout time is not
	defined by the extension, but is expected to be on the order
	of milliseconds or less.

	PresentCapabilitySyncobj means that the target device supports
	explicit synchronization using timeline DRM synchronization
	objects. See the PresentPixmapSynced request for details.

┌───
    PresentPixmapSynced
	window: WINDOW
	pixmap: PIXMAP
	serial: CARD32
	valid-area: REGION or None
	update-area: REGION or None
	x-off, y-off: INT16
	target-crtc: CRTC or None
	acquire-syncobj: SYNCOBJ or None
	release-syncobj: SYNCOBJ or None
	acquire-point: CARD64
	release-point: CARD64
	options: SETofPRESENTOPTION
	target-msc: CARD64
	divisor: CARD64
	remainder: CARD64
	notifies: LISTofPRESENTNOTIFY
└───
	Errors: Window, Pixmap, Match, Value

	Identical to the PresentPixmap request, except that instead of the
	'wait-fence' and 'idle-fence' arguments it accepts mandatory
	'acquire-syncobj' and 'release-syncobj' arguments, along with
	corresponding acquire and release points, to be used for explicit
	timeline-based GPU synchronization. The 'acquire-point' and
	'release-point' are assumed to correspond to timeline points on the
	respective DRM syncobjs.

	The contents of the Pixmap will not be accessed by the server until the
	'acquire-point' on the acquire timeline has been signaled by the
	client. The fence need not be submitted at the time the
	PresentPixmapSynced request is issued.

	Once the 'release-point' on the release timeline has been signaled, the
	client may assume that no further GPU or CPU access to the Pixmap by
	the server will occur as part of the originating PresentPixmapSynced
	request.  Note that this is a stronger guarantee than what is provided
	by the 'idle-fence' argument of the PresentPixmap request or the
	delivery of a PresentIdleNotify event, as those do not necessarily
	imply that the Pixmap is idle on the GPU.

	The server may wait for the acquire point and signal the release point
	itself, as will typically happen if the request is executed by copying
	the Pixmap's contents. Alternatively, it may forward the timelines,
	acquire, and release points to an output sink directly, provided that
	sink also supports explicit synchronization using DRM syncobjs.

	The server may signal the release point without waiting for the acquire
	point if the Pixmap's contents are never accessed while servicing the
	request. This may happen, for example, if a request is discarded due to
	it being fully occluded by a later request.

	Beware that, if multiple Pixmaps are presented using the same release
	timeline, the server makes no guarantees on the order in which the
	release points will be signaled. Of particular concern is that, if the
	later of the two release points is signaled before the earlier one, it
	may appear to the client as though the Pixmap with the earlier release
	point has been released before the server has finished its access to
	it. Therefore, in general, clients are strongly advised to avoid using
	the same release timeline with different Pixmaps.

	If the server does not support PresentCapabilitySyncobj, a Value error
	is generated.

	If either 'acquire-syncobj' or 'release-syncobj' are None or do not
	refer to previously imported syncobjs, a Value error is generated.

	If 'acquire-point' or 'release-point' is zero, a Value error is
	generated.

	If 'acquire-syncobj' is equal to 'release-syncobj' and 'acquire-point'
	is greater than or equal to 'release-point', a Value error is
	generated.


7.1 Requests proposed for a later Present extension version

	These are not part of the standard and represent future plans
	for the Present extension.

┌───
    PresentSelectInput
    ...
└───
	...

	Specifying PresentSubredirectNotify Mask causes PresentPixmap
	requests on any child of 'window' from other clients to
	generate PresentRedirectNotify events to 'window' instead of
	actually performing the operation. However, only one client at
	a time can select for PresentRedirect on a window. An attempt
	to violate this restriction results in an Access error.

8. Extension Events

┌───
    PresentConfigureNotify
	type: CARD8			XGE event type (35)
	extension: CARD8		Present extension request number
	sequence-number: CARD16

	off_x: INT16
	off_y: INT16
	pixmap_width: CARD16
	pixmap_height: CARD16
	pixmap_flags: CARD32
└───

	PresentConfigureNotify events are sent when the window
	configuration changes if PresentSelectInput has requested
	it. PresentConfigureNotify events are XGE events and so do not
	have a unique event type.

	'x' and 'y' are the parent-relative location of 'window'. 

┌───
    PresentCompleteNotify
	type: CARD8			XGE event type (35)
	extension: CARD8		Present extension request number
	sequence-number: CARD16
	length: CARD32			2
	evtype: PRESENTEVENTTYPE	PresentCompleteNotify
	eventID: PRESENTEVENTID
	window: WINDOW
	kind: PRESENTCOMPLETEKIND
	mode: PRESENTCOMPLETEMODE
	serial: CARD32
	ust: CARD64
	msc: CARD64
└───

	CompleteNotify events are delivered when a PresentPixmap or
	PresentNotifyMSC operation has completed.

	'kind' is PresentCompleteKindPixmap when generated by a
	PresentPixmap operation completion or
	PresentCompleteKindNotifyMsc when generated by a
	PresentNotifyMSC operation completion.

	'mode' is PresentCompleteModeCopy when the source pixmap
	contents are taken from the pixmap and the pixmap is idle
	immediately after the presentation completes. 'mode' is
	PresentCompleteModeSuboptimalCopy when the source pixmap
	contents are copied but it would be possible to flip the
	pixmap if the buffer format/modifier was different (options
	given to PresentPixmap must contain PresentOptionSuboptimal).
	'mode' is PresentCompleteModeFlip when the pixmap remains in-use
	even after the presentation completes. It will become idle no
	later than when the next PresentPixmap operation targeting the
	same window by any client completes. If the presentation
	operation was skipped because some later operation made it
	irrelevant, then 'mode' will be PresentCompleteModeSkip.

	'serial' is the value provided in the generating PresentPixmap
	request.

	'msc' and 'ust' indicate the frame count and system time when
	the presentation actually occurred.

┌───
    PresentIdleNotify
	type: CARD8			XGE event type (35)
	extension: CARD8		Present extension request number
	sequence-number: CARD16
	length: CARD32			0
	evtype: PRESENTEVENTTYPE	PresentIdleNotify
	eventID: PRESENTEVENTID
	window: WINDOW
	serial: CARD32
	pixmap: PIXMAP
	idle-fence: FENCE
└───

	IdleNotify events are delivered when a pixmap used in a
	PresentPixmap operation may be re-used by the client.

	'window' is the window from the PresentPixmap to which this
	event is delivered.

	'serial' is the value provided in the associated PresentPixmap
	request.

	'pixmap' is the pixmap which is ready for re-use.

	'idle-fence' is the fence which was provided in the
	originating PresentPixmap request and is used to synchronize
	rendering between the client and the X server's use of the
	buffer. If not None, then the client must wait for the fence
	to be signaled before using the pixmap.

8.1. Extension Events proposed for a later Present extension version

┌───
    PresentRedirectNotify
	type: CARD8			XGE event type (35)
	extension: CARD8		Present extension request number
	sequence-number: CARD16

	idle-fence: FENCE
	options: SETofPRESENTOPTION
	target-msc: CARD64
	divisor: CARD64
	remainder: CARD64
	notifies: LISTofPRESENTNOTIFY
└───

	RedirectNotify events are delivered when the client has
	selected for SubredirectNotify the parent of the target
	window. All of the values provided to the PresentPixmap
	request are provided. If the client simply passes these
	parameters back to the X server, the effect will be as if the
	original client executed the request.

	If 'update-window' is TRUE, then there are clients who have
	requested composite automatic redirect on the window and who
	presumably expect the window buffer to eventually contain
	the application provided contents. The compositing manager
	should at least occasionally update the window buffer with
	suitable contents. The precise update interval is left to the
	discretion of the client receiving this event.

10. Relationship with other extensions

As an extension designed to support other extensions, there is
naturally some interactions with other extensions.

10.1 GLX

GLX is both an application interface and an X extension. OpenGL
applications using the GLX API will use the GLX extension and may use
the Present extension to display application contents.

10.2 DRI3

The DRI3 extension provides a way to share direct rendered pixel data
with the X server as X pixmaps. When used in conjunction with Present,
they provide a complete direct rendering solution for OpenGL or other
APIs.

10.3 DRI2

Present provides similar functionality to the DRI2SwapBuffers and
requests, however Present uses X pixmaps to refer to the new window
contents instead of the DRI2 buffer attachments.

Present and DRI3 are designed in conjunction to replace DRI2.

10.4 XvMC / Xv

It might be nice to be able to use YUV formatted objects as Present
sources.
