Benoit Girard ext:(%2C%20Chris%20Lord%20%3Cchrislord.net%40gmail.com%3E) 5158b05590 Bug 747811 - Make the tiles backend safe across processes. r=nrc,BenWa
The tiles backend passes raw pointers to transfer tiled buffers between the
main thread and the compositor. This patch changes that to use shared
memory and tile descriptors instead, as well as changing the memory management
slightly to facilitate that.

/**
* The ImageBridge protocol is meant to allow ImageContainers to forward images
* directly to the compositor thread/process without using the main thread.
*
* ImageBridgeChild is a CompositableForwarder just like ShadowLayerForwarder.
* This means it also does transactions with the compositor thread/process,
* except that the transactions are restricted to operations on the Compositables
* and cannot contain messages affecting layers directly.
*
* ImageBridgeChild is also a ISurfaceAllocator. It can be used to allocate or
* deallocate data that is shared with the compositor. The main differerence
* with other ISurfaceAllocators is that some of its overriden methods can be
* invoked from any thread.
*
* There are three important phases in the ImageBridge protocol. These three steps
* can do different things depending if (A) the ImageContainer uses ImageBridge
* or (B) it does not use ImageBridge:
*
* - When an ImageContainer calls its method SetCurrentImage:
* - (A) The image is sent directly to the compositor process through the
* ImageBridge IPDL protocol.
* On the compositor side the image is stored in a global table that associates
* the image with an ID corresponding to the ImageContainer, and a composition is
* triggered.
* - (B) Since it does not have an ImageBridge, the image is not sent yet.
* instead the will be sent to the compositor during the next layer transaction
* (on the main thread).
*
* - During a Layer transaction:
* - (A) The ImageContainer uses ImageBridge. The image is already available to the
* compositor process because it has been sent with SetCurrentImage. Yet, the
* CompositableHost on the compositor side will needs the ID referring to the
* ImageContainer to access the Image. So during the Swap operation that happens
* in the transaction, we swap the container ID rather than the image data.
* - (B) Since the ImageContainer does not use ImageBridge, the image data is swaped.
*
* - During composition:
* - (A) The CompositableHost has an AsyncID, it looks up the ID in the
* global table to see if there is an image. If there is no image, nothing is rendered.
* - (B) The CompositableHost has image data rather than an ID (meaning it is not
* using ImageBridge), then it just composites the image data normally.
*
* This means that there might be a possibility for the ImageBridge to send the first
* frame before the first layer transaction that will pass the container ID to the
* CompositableHost happens. In this (unlikely) case the layer is not composited
* until the layer transaction happens. This means this scenario is not harmful.
*
* Since sending an image through imageBridge triggers compositing, the main thread is
* not used at all (except for the very first transaction that provides the
* CompositableHost with an AsyncID).
