Similarly to SPICE_MSG_AGENT_CONNECTED, the msg notifies the main
channel about attaching an agent. In addition the msg also contains the
number of tokens allocated to the client.
This new command is intended to be used for implementing the Composite
request from the Render X extension. See
http://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/renderproto/renderproto.txt
for a description of the Render extension.
Composite has three fields: src, mask and destination, of which mask
is optional (can be NULL). There are also two pointers to
transformations, one for each of src and mask.
The command also has 32 bits of flags which indicates
- which compositing operator to use
- which filters to apply when sampling source and mask
- which repeat mode to apply when sampling source and mask
- whether the mask should be considered to have 'component alpha'
- whether the alpha channel of any of the images should be ignored.
The last one of these features is necessary because in the X protocol
an offscreen surface is simply a collection of bits with no visual
interpretation. In order for Render to use these bits, a wrapper
object is used that contains the pixel format. Since one offscreen
surface can be wrapped by multple objects, there is not a one-to-one
correspondence between pixel formats and surfaces.
In SPICE surfaces do have an associated pixel format, which means the
above feature of Render cannot be supported without adding a similar
concept to the wrapper object to the SPICE protocol. However, the most
common use for having multiple wrappers for one offscreen surface is
to interpret an alpha surface as not having an alpha channel or vice
versa.

New revision to let the driver know about the new io:
QXL_REVISION_STABLE_V12=0x04,
Adds server/client capability:
SPICE_DISPLAY_CAP_MONITORS_CONFIG
Server message will be added in spice-server and spice-common.
Version is bumped to 0.12.0 to indicate new IO and structs
rhbz #815422
Add SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_STREAM_DATA_SIZED, for stream_data message
that in addition to the mjpeg data, also contains the
(1) width and height of the compressed frame.
(2) the destination box of the frame.
The server can send such messages only to clients with
SPICE_DISPLAY_CAP_SIZED_STREAM.
When playing a youtube video on Windows guest, the driver sometimes sends
images which contain the video frames, but also other parts of the
screen (e.g., the youtube process bar). In order to prevent glitches, we send these
images as part of the stream, using SPICE_MSG_DISPLAY_STREAM_DATA_SIZED.
This allows a client to identify a Spice server. This can be useful to
associate data/configuration with this particular server.
The corresponding main channel messages are:
message {
uint8 uuid[16];
} uuid;
message {
uint32 name_len;
uint8 name[name_len] @end @nomarshal; \* \0 terminated *\
} name;
Those messages are sent by the server only if the capability
SPICE_MAIN_CAP_NAME_AND_UUID is available on the client, and the
server has the relevant data.
-Add SpiceMiniDataHeader.
-Introduce capability SPICE_COMMON_CAP_MINI_HEADER.
The advantage of using a header without sub list is to spare the 4 bytes that were sent
for a lot of messages without sublist.
Instead, messages that previously contained sub lists, will be split to two msgs.
The first one will be SPICE_MSG_LIST, holding the sub list, and the second will be the
main msg.
When most of the messages do not contain sub lists, the overhead of the additional 10 bytes
for the header of SPICE_MSG_LIST is negligible. In addition, if there is
only one message in the list, it can be sent independently.
Instead of sending the serial number of the messages, the client and
the server will increment local counters upon sending/receiving a
message.
These changes the protocol the following way:
When the client announces it has SPICE_PLAYBACK_CAP_VOLUME, the server
can send PlaybackChannel.{volume,mute} messages to notify of volume
changes (respectively for RECORD).
If the client doesn't implement SPICE_PLAYBACK_CAP_VOLUME, the server can
handle the volume changes the way it prefers, for example, ignoring them or
applying volume effect on the server side etc..
Current version 2.0 of the SPICE protocol describes how the client
reply to the server SpiceLinkReply message with a RSA_public_encrypt()
of the password.
Instead of using the current Spice AUTH mechanism, we would like to
offer different AUTH mechanisms, in particular SASL, which is a
framework allowing different underlying mechanisms such as
GSSAPI/Kerberos v5 (and optionally adding a data security layer).
We could bump the protocol version, but that would make this feature
mandatory for the implementer of the protocol. By using the channel
caps, the client and server are left to negotiate and alter the AUTH
part of the protocol as follows:
- SPICE_COMMON_CAP_PROTOCOL_AUTH_SELECTION, if set, the authentication
mechanism can be chosen during link phase. If both client and server
have this cap, the client MUST reply to SpiceLinkReply with a
SpiceLinkAuthMechanism message, with the value of the CAP_AUTH
mechanism choosen (a uint32 auth_mechanism). The following
authentication steps are described by the selected authentication
mechanism.
The differents mechanisms selectable via
SPICE_COMMON_CAP_PROTOCOL_AUTH_SELECTION are also specified as part of
the common channel caps. They can be used only if both client and
server offer them.
Ex: no AUTH selection
C: SpiceLinkMess
S: SpiceLinkReply, CAP_PROTOCOL_AUTH_SELECTION not in common caps
- The client can't choose AUTH, and fallback on Spice RSA mechanism
Ex: AUTH selection
C: SpiceLinkMess, CAP_PROTOCOL_AUTH_SELECTION in common caps
S: SpiceLinkReply, CAP_PROTOCOL_AUTH_SELECTION in common caps
- The client MUST reply with SpiceLinkAuthMechanism
C: SpiceLinkAuthMechanism (with a matching CAP_AUTH)
- SPICE_COMMON_CAP_AUTH_SPICE, the following steps and authentication
mechanism are the same as with version 2.0: a RSA_public_encrypt()
of the password is sent.
This mechanism MUST be implemented in both client and server to
comply with the SPICE protocol.
- SPICE_COMMON_CAP_AUTH_SASL, the authentication exchange follows
SASL protocol has defined in RFC 2222.
This mechanism is OPTIONAL in both client and servers.
Ex: AUTH selection, followed by SASL authentication
AUTH Selection:
C: SpiceLinkMess, CAP_PROTOCOL_AUTH_SELECTION + CAP_AUTH_SASL in common caps
S: SpiceLinkReply, CAP_PROTOCOL_AUTH_SELECTION + CAP_AUTH_SASL in common caps
- The client MUST reply with SpiceLinkAuthMechanism
C: SpiceLinkAuthMechanism CAP_AUTH_SASL

Updated since v1 of this commit:
- renamed s/SPICE_CHANNEL_CAP/SPICE_COMMON_CAP
- added some note about mandatory vs optional mechanisms.
We want to make these structures internal so we're free to change them.
The actual on-network ABI is now defined by the spice protocol
description rather than the c structures anyway.

There is some confusion in the different branches on what the minors
mean. We expect minor == 2 to mean support for
SPICE_MSG_MAIN_MIGRATE_SWITCH_HOST and SpiceMsgMainMigrationBegin
with added public key info. All other additions like tunneling are
for minor 3 (although we might not do a release with minor 3, but
rather the bump major).
