This new template can be used as replacement for getty@.service. It has
the same semantics and can be used as drop-in replacement. It even uses
getty@.service as fallback if kmscon fails.

We now set COLORTERM to "kmscon" so applications can identify their

We must pass "-p" to make "login" preserve the environment. We make sure
the environment is correctly reset before calling it so it is safe.
Furthermore, this allows us to pass additional environment variables to
the child without having /bin/login reset it.

This property controls whether the environment should be reset before
spawning the child process. Defaults to "no" and affects whether "-p" is
passed as default argument to /bin/login.

The colorterm property is used (if set) as COLORTERM environment variable.
Note that this variable (despite the name) is not used with
terminfo/termcap. Instead, it's solely used to identify the running
terminal.

The wcwidth() POSIX helper returns the number of cells that a character
occupies. This is normally 1, however, if it is 0 we simply discard this
input (this should never happen as all characters that wcwidth() returns 0
for should already be handled by the VTE layer).
But if it is >1, we write the character in the first cell, set the width
correctly and mark all following characters as width=0.
Everything else is left unchanged, that means, the running application has
to be aware of wcwidth() and correctly send two backspaces to clear a
width=2 character and so on.
This behavior almost exactly matches the xterm behavior. There are some
corner cases like erasing only one part of a multi-cell character etc.
that might differ. However, these are non-standard cases that no
application should never rely on.
Anyway, if we spot any of these differences between xterm and kmscon, we
should fix kmscon to behave like xterm does.
Thanks to Shixin for looking this up in other emulators.

Multi-cell glyphs are glyphs that span across multiple horizontal cells.
The font renderers already support this. This patch fixes the console
renderers to take advantage of this.
Signed-off-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@googlemail.com>
Instead of clipping every character to a one-cell boundary, we now render
multi-cell characters correctly into multiple cells.
This does not adjust the console-renderers but only the font renderers to
provide the correct glyphs.

wcwidth() is a POSIX function that returns the number of cells that a
wide-character occupies. The glibc function cannot be used as it depends
on the locale and we need _always_ UTF8 no matter what the locale is.
This implementation is provided by Markus Kuhn and is equivalent to
xterm's behavior.

kmscon does always pass a proper argv array so the default is never used.
However, for security reasons we shouldn't hardcode /bin/login. If some
other program uses the pty layer and forgets to pass in a suitable argv
all the time, they mind end up with opening a root shell.
Hence, use /bin/login as default.

The wayland compositor support was some research project that turned out
to not work that well. The main problem is that the DRM planes support
cannot be easily forwarded to a child. Sub-surface support might change
that but until then we remove compositor support.

Instead of relying on --switchvt, we should always activate fake-VTs
during startup. Otherwise, we might end up with dead seats as there is no
way to wake up kmscon later.

We tried to avoid running unused code during shutdown by moving VT
handling into a separate eloop and run it exclusively. However, with
delayed VT switching, we need to run other event-handlers to make the VT
switch work. Therefore, run all of this during shutdown and remove the
vt_eloop event-loop.
This means that we might create new seats, displays, etc. during shutdown.
This is valid and doesn't harm kmscon, but we want to avoid doing stuff
that is undone few miliseconds later. Therefore, we set a "exiting" flag
and check that before initiating most of the big handlers.

We currently only start seats (switch to their VT) during startup but we
should also do that for hotplugged seats. Therefore, move that logic into

We don't use the newly created objects so no need to return them.
Furthermore, we want the functions to already perform actions on the

function return. Thus, simply return nothing.

Signed-off-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@googlemail.com>
If we want to be able to destroy seats from anywhere, not just
uterm-monitor callbacks, we need to be able to reset the monitor-event
seat-data so we no longer access the seat memory.
Hence, move the seat-data set/reset logic into the actual seat
creation/destroy functions.

If we run in listen mode, we are supposed to take over a seat. If a seat
supports VTs (like kernel VTs or kmscon cdev fake VTs) we assume that
there is some manager for these VTs (the one who created them). Therefore,
there is no need to run kmscon in listen mode on these seats. Instead, you
should run kmscon in default mode on these seats.
We enforce this limitation because if the VT-master on those seats dies
and causes a HUP, they have no way to notify us when they startup again.
Therefore, this kind of setup is broken. Furthermore, no-one would every
want such setups.
Instead use the startup mechanism of the VT/seat-manager to start kmscon
in default mode on those seats.
Signed-off-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@googlemail.com>
Instead of configuring everything for every kind of situation, we now
split kmscon into two modes: default-mode and listen-mode
In default-mode we run on the given seats once until we encounter a HUP or
until we are closed. It's a perfect replacement for agetty.
In listen-mode, we run only on non-VT seats and provide the full kmscon
functionality. We run as system daemon and wait for new seats and close
seats if they are destroyed. We simply provide a full system-console on
all seats.

Instead of using one option for each selection mode, we now provide a new
option --gpus. It takes as argument the selection mode to use.
We also remove the --video-devices option as it doesn't fit into the big
picture. Instead, we should provide a blacklist and users would then use
--gpu=all --blacklist-video=<blacklist> instead.
However, blacklisting is also required for input devices and until we
figure it out, we will provide no blacklisting at all.

Instead of registering for SIGCHLD we should use the child-reaper sources
to avoid nasty race-conditions.
Signed-off-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@googlemail.com>
If multiple childs die simultaneously, only a single SIGCHLD is queued.
Only after our process got scheduled and we unqueued the SIGCHLD, a next
signal can be queued. Therefore, using SIGCHLD as indicator that a
specific child died does not work reliably.
Instead, we must use waitpid() to wait for childs. Hence, we introduce a
new event-source which does that. It reports the PID/status combination
for each child to the registered callbacks.
