wl_surface.damage uses surface local co-ordinates.
Buffer scale and buffer transforms came along, and EGL surfaces
have no understanding of them.
Theoretically, clients pass damage rectangles - in Y-inverted surface
co-ordinates) to EGLSwapBuffersWithDamage, and the EGL implementation
passed them on to wayland. However, for this to work the EGL
implementation must be able to flip those rectangles into the space
the compositor is expecting, but it's unable to do so because it
doesn't know the height of the transformed buffer.
So, currently, EGLSwapBuffersWithDamage is unusable and EGLSwapBuffers
has to pass (0,0) - (INT32_MAX, INT32_MAX) damage to function.
wl_surface.damage_buffer allows damage to be registered on a surface
in buffer co-ordinates, avoiding this problem.
Credit where it's due, these ideas are not entirely my own:
Over a year ago the idea of changing damage co-ordinates to buffer
co-ordinates was suggested (by Jason Ekstrand), and it was at least
partially rejected and abandoned. At the time it was also suggested
(by Pekka Paalanen) that adding a new wl_surface.damage_buffer request
was another option.
This will eventually resolve:

by making the problem irrelevant.

The documentation for wl_surface.commit makes it clear that the
application of damage follows attach during the commit, so it
doesn't matter what order the app sends the requests.
Many existing apps post damage before attaching a buffer already,
and it's really quite reasonable to do so.

This is required if we want to correctly remove a wl_seat compositor-side. A
wl_seat is announced as a global object, then it is bound by the client. When
the compositor wants to remove the seat, it shall announce the global removal of
the object. The client can then call the release request on the wl_seat (which
means I won't use that object anymore).

Change wording to be more consistent with other parts of the subsurface
protocol. Before this change, wl_subsurface.set_position explicitly
stated that the new state was to be applied on the parents
wl_surface.commit and wl_subsurface.place_above/below only said "on
the next commit of the parent surface". What "committed" means is
ambiguous considering that a wl_surface.commit actually defers the
actual commit when in synchronized mode, but the intention has always
been that placement of a subsurface should be considered part of its
content, i.e. placement state should be applied when other state
(buffer, regions). This patch makes that more clear.
Note that prior to this patch, one could correctly have interpreted
the protocol meaning that placements operations takes effect explicitly
on wl_surface.commit of the parent surface no matter whether other state
of the parent surface is applied at that point. This patch clarifies that
that is not the case.

"the callback event will arrive after the next output refresh" is wrong,
if you interpret "output refresh" as framebuffer flip or the moment when
the new pixels turn into light the first time. Weston has probably never
worked this way.
Weston triggers the frame callbacks when it submits repainting commands
to the GPU, which is before the framebuffer flip.
Strike the incorrect claim, and the rest of the paragraph which no
longer offers useful information.
As a replacement, expand on the "throttling and driving animations"
characteristic. The main purpose is to let clients animate at the
display refresh rate, while avoiding drawing frames that will never be
presented.
The new claim is that the server should give some time between
triggering frame callbacks and repainting itself, for clients to draw
and commit. This is somewhat intimate with the repaint scheduling
algorithm a compositor uses, but hopefully the right intention.
Another point of this update is to imply, that frame callbacks should
not be used to count compositor repaint cycles nor monitor refresh
cycles. It has never been guaranteed to work. Removing the mention of
frame callback without an attach hopefully discourages such use.
v2: Don't just remove a paragraph, but add useful information about the
request's intent.
v3: Specify the order of posting frame callbacks.

The sub-surface protocol was originally committed into Weston on May
10th, 2013, in commit 2396aec6842c709a714f3825dbad9fd88478f2e6. The
design for the protocol had started in the beginning of December 2012. I
think it is high time to move this into the core now.
This patch copies the sub-surface protocol as it was in Weston on Nov
15th, 2013, into Wayland. Weston gets a patch to remove the protocol from
there.
Sub-surface is a wl_surface role. You create a wl_surface as usual, and
assign it the sub-surface role and a parent wl_surface. Sub-surfaces are
an integral part of the parent surface, and stay glued to the parent.
For window management, a window is the union of the top-level
wl_surface and all its sub-surfaces. Sub-surfaces are not clipped to the
parent, and the union of the surface tree can be larger than the
(top-level) wl_surface at its root.
The representative use case for sub-surfaces is a video player window.
When the video content is given its own wl_surface, there is no need to
modify the video frame contents after decoding or copy them into a whole
window sized buffer before submitting it to the compositor. This allows
efficient, zero-copy video presentation paths, where video decoding
hardware produces a (YUV) buffer, which eventually ends up in a
(YUV-capable) hardware overlay and is scanned out directly.
This can also be used for zero-copy presentation of windowed OpenGL
content, where the OpenGL rendering engine does not need to draw or
avoid window decorations.
Sub-surfaces allow mixing different buffer types into the same window,
e.g. software-rendered decorations in wl_shm buffers, and live content
in EGL-based buffers.
However, the sub-surface extension does not offer clipping or scaling
facilities, or accurate presentation timing. Those are topics for
additional extensions.

We missed destroy requests in the 1.0 protocol and since the scanner
generates local-only *_destroy requests in that case we can't add
destroy requests without breaking protocol. A client needs to verify
that the server provides a version 3 seat to use the protocol destructor
so the name needs to be something else than wl_*_destroy.
v2 (Rob Bradford): Rebased, bumped the protocol versions and added since
attributes to the requests.
This format is used to specify that the key button events received are not in
relation to any key map and that the codes should be interpreted directly.
v2: Use zero for the no keymap enum value and enhance the documentation
for the enum entry.
Modes are mainly meant to be used in coordination with fullscreen in
DRIVER mode, by e.g. games. For such games what they generally want
is to match some hardware mode and resize their window for that. We
don't really need to complicate this with the scaling. So, we
keep the resolutions in HW pixels, and drop the SCALED flag (as it
is now useless).
This lets you just create e.g an 800x600 buffer of scale 1 and
fullscreen that, ignoring the output scaling factor (although you can
of course also respect it and create a 400x300 surface at scale 2).
Conceptually the mode change is treated like a scaling which overrides
the normal output scale.
The only complexity is the FILL mode where it can happen that the user
specifies a buffer of the same size as the screen, but the output has scale
2 and the buffer scale 1. Just scanning out this buffer will work, but
effectively this is a downscaling operation, as the "real" size of the surface
in pels is twice the size of the output. We solve this by allowing FILL to
downscale (but still not upscale).
This adds the wl_surface.set_buffer_scale request, and a wl_output.scale
event. These together lets us support automatic upscaling of "old"
clients on very high resolution monitors, while allowing "new" clients
to take advantage of this to render at the higher resolution when the
surface is displayed on the scaled output.
It is similar to set_buffer_transform in that the buffer is stored in
a transformed pixels (in this case scaled). This means that if an output
is scaled we can directly use the pre-scaled buffer with additional data,
rather than having to scale it.
Additionally this adds a "scaled" flag to the wl_output.mode flags
so that clients know which resolutions are native and which are scaled.
Also, in places where the documentation was previously not clear as to
what coordinate system was used this was fleshed out.
It also adds a scaling_factor event to wl_output that specifies the
scaling of an output.
This is meant to be used for outputs with a very high DPI to tell the
client that this particular output has subpixel precision. Coordinates
in other parts of the protocol, like input events, relative window
positioning and output positioning are still in the compositor space
rather than the scaled space. However, input has subpixel precision
so you can still get input at full resolution.
This setup means global properties like mouse acceleration/speed,
pointer size, monitor geometry, etc can be specified in a "mostly
similar" resolution even on a multimonitor setup where some monitors
are low dpi and some are e.g. retina-class outputs.
