feat: linux KMS/GBM capture via purego libdrm - #1
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughLinux support now includes KMS and X11 source selection, DRM framebuffer capture, GBM buffer handling, synthetic BGRA streams, Linux memory wrappers, format conversion, tests, CI validation, and non-Linux stubs. ChangesLinux capture support
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The Linux capture path can currently deliver stale or incorrectly colored video, and an unusually large frame-rate value can crash the process, so the PR is not merge-ready until these runtime issues are fixed; the CI token permissions should also be tightened.

In `@pipelines/linux/gbm.go`:
- Around line 84-85: Update the gbmBoCreate call in newGBMBuffer to remove
gbmBoUseWrite from the usage flags, retaining only the flags required for
rendering and linear allocation.
In `@pipelines/linux/kms.go`:
- Around line 164-165: Update the drmFormatRGBX8888 and drmFormatBGRX8888
constants to 0x34325852 and 0x34325842 respectively, matching the values
compared by bgraConverter. Add or adjust format tests to use independent
expected values rather than referencing these constants.
- Line 43: Update the drmPrimeHandleToFD binding and its call site to accept a
*int32 prime_fd output parameter, pass DRM_CLOEXEC (0x80000), and interpret the
function result as a status code. Use the output descriptor only when the status
is 0, avoiding treating the return value itself as the dmabuf descriptor.
- Around line 144-156: Update the drmModeFB2 struct layout to match the C ABI:
place Flags as a uint32 immediately after Modifier, remove NumPlanes and its
padding, and keep Handles, Pitches, and Offsets following the corrected fields.
Ensure newKMSCapture and convXRGB use the resulting correctly aligned arrays
without additional layout assumptions.
In `@pipelines/linux/pipeline.go`:
- Around line 119-148: Update frameStream.run and Close so the producer
goroutine exclusively owns teardown: have Close cancel the context and wait for
run to finish, without closing fs.ch or calling fs.g.close directly. Ensure run
exits on cancellation, then closes the grabber and frame channel only after no
grab or send can remain active, preserving safe repeated Close calls via
closeOnce.
In `@pipelines/linux/x11.go`:
- Around line 127-133: Replace the synthetic capture path in the X11 source
handler with an explicit unsupported error; do not call newSynthCapture or
return newFrameStream for x11 until real X11 pixel readback is implemented.
- Around line 109-133: Update StartStream and newFrameStream so the caller’s ctx
controls the frame-stream worker lifecycle, causing cancellation to stop
streaming and release the optional gbmBO even when FrameStream.Close is not
called. Preserve the existing FPS, display validation, and error handling
behavior, and add coverage that cancels ctx and verifies the stream shuts down
without Close().

The grabber maps one framebuffer and never re-reads the CRTC.
newKMSCapture resolves crtc.BufferID once, exports that GEM handle, and maps it. grab then converts the same mapping on every call. A compositor page-flips between two or more framebuffers, so the mapped buffer stops being the active scanout. The stream then delivers a stale or alternating image instead of the current screen.
Re-query drmModeGetCrtc and drmModeGetFB2 per frame, and cache the mapping per framebuffer ID.

DRM_FORMAT_RGBX8888 DRM_FORMAT_BGRX8888 in-memory byte order little endian drm_fourcc.h
💡 Result:
In the Linux kernel's drm_fourcc.h header file, DRM_FORMAT_RGBX8888 and DRM_FORMAT_BGRX8888 are defined as little-endian formats [1][2][3]. Specifically, their memory layouts are defined as follows [2]: DRM_FORMAT_RGBX8888: [31:0] R:G:B:x 8:8:8:8 little endian [1][2]. This means in a 32-bit word, the byte order in memory (from lowest address to highest) is R, then G, then B, then the padding byte (x) [2]. DRM_FORMAT_BGRX8888: [31:0] B:G:R:x 8:8:8:8 little endian [1][2]. This means the byte order in memory is B, then G, then R, then the padding byte (x) [2]. While these formats are documented as little-endian, it is important to note that the kernel defines them as such to facilitate consistent byte-addressable access across different architectures [4][5]. Because these are 8-bit-per-channel formats packed into a 32-bit container, their byte order is unambiguous regardless of the host's endianness [6]. The DRM subsystem provides host-endian variants (e.g., DRM_FORMAT_HOST_XRGB8888) to help drivers manage these formats across different CPU architectures without requiring extensive preprocessor logic [7][4][5].

site:docs.kernel.org DRM_FORMAT_RGBX8888 "[31:0] R:G:B:X" little endian memory order
💡 Result:
In the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) subsystem, the DRM_FORMAT_RGBX8888 format is defined as a 32-bit format [1][2]. The nomenclature for DRM formats is based on the order of components as viewed in a 32-bit little-endian word [3][4][5]. For DRM_FORMAT_RGBX8888, the 32-bit word is structured as follows: - Bits [31:24]: X (padding/unused) - Bits [23:16]: B (Blue) - Bits [15:8]: G (Green) - Bits [7:0]: R (Red) Because these formats are stored in memory in little-endian byte order, the byte layout in memory (from lowest address to highest address) is [3][4][6]: 1. Byte 0 (bits [7:0]): R (Red) 2. Byte 1 (bits [15:8]): G (Green) 3. Byte 2 (bits [23:16]): B (Blue) 4. Byte 3 (bits [31:24]): X (Padding) This means that while the component order is R:G:B:X when read as a 32-bit little-endian integer, the bytes are arranged sequentially in memory as R, G, B, X [3][5].

Linux drm_fourcc.h DRM_FORMAT_RGBX8888 "#define" "R:G:B:x" "little endian"
💡 Result:
In the Linux kernel's drm_fourcc.h header file, the constant DRM_FORMAT_RGBX8888 is defined as follows: #define DRM_FORMAT_RGBX8888 fourcc_code('R', 'X', '2', '4') /* [31:0] R:G:B:x 8:8:8:8 little endian */ [1][2][3] This definition indicates that the format uses 32 bits per pixel in a little-endian layout [1][3]. The notation [31:0] R:G:B:x 8:8:8:8 describes the memory structure, where the bytes are ordered as Red, Green, Blue, and then the unused/padding byte (x) in the order of increasing memory addresses [1][3][4]. Specifically, in little-endian systems, this places the Red component in the least significant byte and the padding byte in the most significant byte [1][3].

Clamp fps to an upper bound.
StartStream only rejects fps <= 0. For a large client-supplied fps (for example 2000000000), int64(time.Second)/int64(fps) truncates to 0, and time.NewTicker(0) panics. The panic happens in the producer goroutine and terminates the process.
