The problem fixed by this patch can be reproduced on Linux with the
following steps.
- Access NULL pointer intentionally in ProcessOtherEvent on key press.
- Instead of saving core dump to a file, write it into a pipe.
echo "|/usr/sbin/my-core-dumper" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
- Dump the core by pressing a key.
While the core is being dumped into the pipe, the smart schedule timer
will cause a pending SIGALRM. Linux kernel stops writing data to the
pipe when there are pending signals. This causes the core dump to be
truncated. On my system I'm expecting a 6 MB dump but the size will be
60 kB instead. The problem is solved if we block the SIGALRM caused by
expired smart schedule timer.
I haven't been able to reproduce this problem in the following cases.
- Save core dump to a file instead of a pipe.
- kill -SEGV `pidof Xorg`
- Press a key to dump core while gdb is attached to Xorg.
- Give option -dumbSched to Xorg.
Also note that the fix works only when NoTrapSignals has the default
value FALSE. The problem can still be reproduced if error signals
aren't trapped. In addition to pending SIGALRM, there is a similar
problem with pending SIGIO from the keyboard driver during core dump.

Save in a few special cases, _X_EXPORT should not be used in C source
files. Instead, it should be used in headers, and the proper C source
include that header. Some special cases are symbols that need to be
shared between modules, but not expected to be used by external drivers,
and symbols that are accessible via LoaderSymbol/dlopen.
This patch also adds conditionally some new sdk header files, depending
on extensions enabled. These files were added to match pattern for
other extensions/modules, that is, have the headers "deciding" symbol
visibility in the sdk. These headers are:
o Xext/panoramiXsrv.h, Xext/panoramiX.h
o fbpict.h (unconditionally)
o vidmodeproc.h
o mioverlay.h (unconditionally, used only by xaa)
o xfixes.h (unconditionally, symbols required by dri2)
LoaderSymbol and similar functions now don't have different prototypes,
in loaderProcs.h and xf86Module.h, so that both headers can be included,
without the need of defining IN_LOADER.
xf86NewInputDevice() device prototype readded to xf86Xinput.h, but
not exported (and with a comment about it).
This is the biggest "visibility" patch. Instead of doing a "export"
symbol on demand, export everything in the sdk, so that if some module
fails due to an unresolved symbol, it is because it is using a symbol
not in the sdk.
Most exported symbols shouldn't really be made visible, neither
advertised in the sdk, as they are only used by a single shared object.
Symbols in the sdk (or referenced in sdk macros), but not defined
anywhere include:

- This should allow drivers to recieve post submission events for X<->opengl synchronisation.
- Lacking a testcase, i'm open to suggestion how to do it better.
- The idea is:
- driver recieves event
- driver creates personal identification and inserts marker into X fifo.
- when something wants to use an X pixmap, it checks if something is pending.
- If so, it synchronizes the 2nd fifo using the initial identification.
- Driver is not required to use interrupt based systems (price too high).
- Lower latency is ofcource better.
- If this is somehow unusable for you, then come up with improvements.
- For that reason i wouldn't consider the api fixed for the moment.
- I found no evidence in the protocol, that it should be differently from all the other modes.
- It seems to have been like this from day 1.
- If anyone has evidence to the contrary, please enlighten me.
- Redo damage naming for more consistency.
- Call post submission functions only where appropriate.
- EXA can now live without it's odd damage workarounds.
This was an attempt to avoid scratch gc creation and validation for paintwin
because that was expensive. This is not the case in current servers, and the
danger of failure to implement it correctly (as seen in all previous
implementations) is high enough to justify removing it. No performance
difference detected with x11perf -create -move -resize -circulate on Xvfb.
Leave the screen hooks for PaintWindow* in for now to avoid ABI change.
DamagePendingRegion returns a pointer to the region of a drawable that will
be damaged by the current operation for damage records that chose to get damage
reported only at the end of the operation.
over to new system.
Need to update documentation and address some remaining vestiges of
old system such as CursorRec structure, fb "offman" structure, and
FontRec privates.
Composite's automatic redirection is a more general mechanism than the
ad-hoc BS machinery, so it's much prettier to implement the one in terms
of the other. Composite now wraps ChangeWindowAttributes and activates
automatic redirection for windows with backing store requested. The old
backing store infrastructure is completely gutted: ABI-visible structures
retain the function pointers, but they never get called, and all the
open-coded conditionals throughout the DIX layer to implement BS are gone.
Note that this is still not a strictly complete implementation of backing
store, since Composite will throw the bits away on unmap and therefore
WhenMapped and Always hints are equivalent.
Additionally, protect libcw setup behind checks for Render, to avoid
segfaulting if Render isn't available (xnest).
The previous setup was an ABI-preserving dance, which is better nuked now.
Now, anything that needs libcw must explicitly initialize it, and
miDisableCompositeWrapper (previously only called by EXA and presumably binary
drivers) is gone.
Get rid of almost all uses of these definitions. They're still defined for
delinquent out-of-tree drivers, and also for the Mesa build. As well as
for miinitext.c. But largely gone.
Add XSERV_t, TRANS_SERVER, TRANS_REOPEN to quash warnings.
Add #include <dix-config.h> or <xorg-config.h>, as appropriate, to all
source files in the xserver/xorg tree, predicated on defines of
HAVE_{DIX,XORG}_CONFIG_H. Change all Xfont includes to
<X11/fonts/foo.h>.
