GeckoThread.waitOnGecko blocks the current thread and waits for previous
events on the Gecko thread to finish executing before continuing. This
is implemented by synchronously running a dummy event on the Gecko
thread. This patch also lets us get rid of sendEventToGeckoSync in
GeckoAppShell.
Remove obsolete SIZE_CHANGED event and its handler in nsWindow. Also
remove some other supporting code (such as gAndroidBounds and the
FORCED_RESIZE event) that should be unnecessary by now.
Right now, we rely on browser.js sending Gecko:Ready, to set the
GeckoThread state to RUNNING upon receiving Gecko:Ready. This patch
gets rid of this dependency on browser.js and Gecko:Ready.
Implement the PrefsHelper native methods. The previous browser.js
implementation supported "pseudo-prefs" that did not exist as actual
prefs, but was accessible through PrefsHelper. In order to accommodate
these pseudo-prefs, we send observer notifications in order to
communicate with browser.js about prefs that we don't support.
In order to prevent the deadlock, we need to release sAppShellLock when
we start waiting in SyncRunEvent. However, we cannot simply unlock it
before the wait because that introduces an out-of-order unlocking wrt
mSyncRunMonitor, which can cause further deadlocks. So this patch
converts mSyncRunMoitor to a condvar and make it use sAppShellLock. That
then involves making aAppShellLock a Mutex instead of a StaticMutex. The
final result is having one lock (sAppShellLock), which supports any
other condvars that we have like mSyncRunFinished.
This patch moves the SyncRunEvent logic from GLControllerSupport to
nsAppShell, as it could be useful elsewhere. This patch fixes a race
condition related to shutdown, where a deadlock could occur if Gecko
shuts down when another thread is waiting for a synchronous event to
finish running. This patch also fixes a crash on shutdown when we tried
to create a mutex after the deadlock detector has shut down.
When getting nsAppShell from another thread, there could be a race with
nsAppShell being destroyed on the main thread. This patch makes the raw
nsAppShell pointer only accessible from the main thread, and use a
static mutex to coordinate accessing nsAppShell from other threads.
Right now LayerView depends on geckoConnected being called by GeckoApp
or GeckoView during its initialization. However, we can get rid of it
and let LayerView handle the task itself. As part of this change, screen
depth overriding is moved to native code in nsAppShell.
GeckoEvent.KEY_EVENT and GeckoEvent.IME_EVENT used to count as UI events
for the hang monitor. We should count the new native calls as native
events too through this patch.
The bulk of this commit was generated with a script, executed at the top
level of a typical source code checkout. The only non-machine-generated
part was modifying MFBT's moz.build to reflect the new naming.

Right now we don't allow quitting Fennec when the last nsWindow closes
(e.g. when the last GeckoView is destroyed) because we want to keep the
Gecko thread running throughout the app process lifetime. However, when
we are asked to quit explicitly through nsIAppStartup::Quit, we should
release the hold on nsAppStartup and allow quitting to continue.
The PROCESS_OBJECT GeckoEvent is used to set the layer client object in
Gecko once Gecko is done loading. This patch converts it to a native
call in GeckoView.Window.

We have a pretty messy system of coalescing viewport events that
introduced a race condition during the recent JNI refactoring. This
patch makes that code simpler and fixes the race condition. Instead of
keeping track of a previous viewport event, we now scan the event queue
for previous viewport events. This shouldn't be a perf concern because
we only scan the queue for viewport and native callback events, and stop
scanning as soon as we find another kind of event.
Originally, the GeckoThread PROFILE_READY state was chosen to correspond
to the profile-do-change event, to give priority to JNI code (e.g.
window creation) over other events that may be registered under
profile-after-change event. However, this leads to broken tests because
our testing infra expects things like window creation to happen during
profile-after-change at the earliest. This is because we have to wait
for addons like SpecialPowers to be loaded between profile-do-change and
profile-after-change. This patch changes the PROFILE_READY state to
correspond to the profile-after-change event, so things are consistent
again.
nsWindow will implement native methods of GeckoView.Window. This patch
implements the open method, which opens a new window in the same manner
as the CLH, and associates the new nsWindow with the GeckoView.Window
instance.
With the new nsAppShell event loop based on runnable events, we need to
implement AndroidGeckoEvent handling as a runnable event. This patch adds
nsAppShell::LegacyGeckoEvent and adopts its implementation from existing
code that handle AndroidGeckoEvent.
