Some patches which I initially attached to bug 1491442 are mostly ready to land, but others are not. I'm moving the ones which are ready (or really close to ready) over to this bug so that I can land them sooner.

This is an existing problem: Whenever you enter DOM fullscreen mode on a
window that has drawsContentsIntoWindowFrame == YES, we drop the information
about whether the title should be shown in the titlebar on top of Gecko's
drawing. Then, when you leave DOM fullscreen again, the freshly-created
ToolbarWindow will have mDrawTitle and titleVisibility set to their default
values: mDrawTitle defaults to NO and titleVisibility defaults to
NSWindowTitleVisible.
The title can be drawn in two different modes:

  • If the ChildView is covering the titlebar and drawing it in its OpenGL
    context, the ChildView handles the drawing of the title text. That drawing
    code respects the window's mDrawTitle field, and ignores titleVisibility.
  • If Cocoa is drawing the titlebar, it respects the titleVisibility property.
    At the moment, Cocoa's drawing is never visible, because it is covered up by
    the ChildView's OpenGL context. As a consequence, the extraneous title is never
    actually visible on the screen and the bug doesn't actually cause a visible
    glitch.
    Once we use CoreAnimation, Cocoa's drawing will become visible, and the wrong
    value of the titleVisibility property would become apparent.

RenderTargetOGL::Bind on mWindowRenderTarget needs to bind the default framebuffer, not framebuffer 0.

This preference doesn't do anything yet but having it at this point in the
patch stack lets me untangle things a bit.

Without CoreAnimation, back-pressure was applied by SwapBuffers: On a
double-buffered NSOpenGLContext which is bound to an NSView, [context flushBuffer]
waits for the previous frame to be finished. With CoreAnimation, the context
is no longer bound to an NSView, and SwapBuffers acts as a regular glFlush.
glFlush on its own does not prevent overproduction.

If we submit GPU work at a faster rate than the GPU can handle, we end up
delaying the window server's GPU work. This can cause the window server to skip
frames. So even if Gecko can produce frames at 60FPS, the window server might
only present those frames at 30FPS, skipping every second frame.

This was the order of calls for CompositorOGL+WebRender before this patch:

  • PreRender, calls [mView preRender:]
  • [compositing happens]
  • PostRender, calls [mView postRender:]

And this was the order of calls for BasicCompositor before this patch:

  • PreRender, ignored
  • StartRemoteDrawing(InRegion)
  • [software compositing happens]
  • EndRemoteDrawing, calls [mView preRender:], does a GL composition, then calls [mView postRender:]
  • PostRender, ignored

After this patch, all paths call [mView preRender:] and [mView postRender:] from
PreRender and PostRender.
This changeset also makes it so that we can't tear down the ChildView while
BasicCompositor compositing is happening.

Just a heads up: With these patches, there will be a preference called "gfx.core-animation.enabled" showing up on about:config but it won't do anything, other than causing titlebar glitches. No CoreAnimation will be used yet. It needs the rest of the work from bug 1491442 to do anything.
