[PATCH v4 00/19] Make Pixman an optional dependency

[marcandre . lureau]

From: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com>

Hi,

QEMU system emulators can be made to compile and work without Pixman.

Only a few devices and options actually require it (VNC, Gtk, Spice for ex) and
will have to be compiled out.

However, most of QEMU graphics-related code is based on pixman_image_t and
format. If we want to provide mostly compatible QEMU machines with or without
Pixman, all we need to do is to have a small compatibility header with just the
bare minimum for those types (see "ui: add pixman-compat.h"). There are a
limited number of operations related to geometry that are slightly better
implemented in QEMU (without Pixman, see "virtio-gpu: replace PIXMAN for
region/rect test").

Without this simple compatibility header approach, QEMU at runtime becomes a
very different emulator (without graphics device/board, display etc) and full of
"if PIXMAN" conditions in the code. This is a much worse outcome imho, compared
to this small header maintainance and compatibility story.

Fixes:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1172

v4:
- added "vl: move display early init before default devices" patch
- code style fixes
- a-b from Zoltan

v3:
- improve transient meson condition in first patch (Paolo)
- use muxed console as fallback by default (Paolo)
- make pixman-compat.h closer to original API
- keep "x-pixman" property for sm501 (Zoltan)

Marc-André Lureau (19):
  build-sys: add a "pixman" feature
  ui: compile out some qemu-pixman functions when !PIXMAN
  ui: add pixman-compat.h
  vl: move display early init before default devices
  ui/console: allow to override the default VC
  ui/vc: console-vc requires PIXMAN
  qmp/hmp: disable screendump if PIXMAN is missing
  virtio-gpu: replace PIXMAN for region/rect test
  ui/console: when PIXMAN is unavailable, don't draw placeholder msg
  vhost-user-gpu: skip VHOST_USER_GPU_UPDATE when !PIXMAN
  ui/gl: opengl doesn't require PIXMAN
  ui/vnc: VNC requires PIXMAN
  ui/spice: SPICE/QXL requires PIXMAN
  ui/gtk: -display gtk requires PIXMAN
  ui/dbus: do not require PIXMAN
  arm/kconfig: XLNX_ZYNQMP_ARM depends on PIXMAN
  hw/sm501: allow compiling without PIXMAN
  hw/display: make ATI_VGA depend on PIXMAN
  build-sys: make pixman actually optional
