Add TurboVNC encoding support. TurboVNC is a variant of TightVNC that uses the same client/server protocol (RFB version 3.8t), and thus it is fully cross-compatible with TightVNC and TigerVNC (with one exception, which is noted below.) Both the TightVNC and TurboVNC encoders analyze each rectangle, pick out regions of solid color to send separately, and send the remaining subrectangles using mono, indexed color, JPEG, or raw encoding, depending on the number of colors in the subrectangle. However, TurboVNC uses a fundamentally different selection algorithm to determine the appropriate subencoding to use for each subrectangle. Thus, while it sends a protocol stream that can be decoded by any TightVNC-compatible viewer, the mix of subencoding types in this protocol stream will be different from those generated by a TightVNC server. The research that led to TurboVNC is described in the following report: http://www.virtualgl.org/pmwiki/uploads/About/tighttoturbo.pdf. In summary: 20 RFB captures, representing "common" 2D and 3D application workloads (the 3D workloads were run using VirtualGL), were studied using the TightVNC encoder in isolation. Some of the analysis features in the TightVNC encoder, such as smoothness detection, were found to generate a lot of CPU usage with little or no benefit in compression, so those features were disabled. JPEG encoding was accelerated using libjpeg-turbo (which achieves a 2-4x speedup over plain libjpeg on modern x86 or ARM processors.) Finally, the "palette threshold" (minimum number of colors that the subrectangle must have before it is compressed using JPEG or raw) was adjusted to account for the fact that JPEG encoding is now quite a bit faster (meaning that we can now use it more without a CPU penalty.) TurboVNC has additional optimizations, such as the ability to count colors and encode JPEG images directly from the framebuffer without first translating the pixels into RGB. The TurboVNC encoder compares quite favorably in terms of compression ratio with TightVNC and generally encodes a great deal faster (often an order of magnitude or more.) The version of the TurboVNC encoder included in this patch is roughly equivalent to the one found in version 0.6 of the Unix TurboVNC Server, with a few minor patches integrated from TurboVNC 1.1. TurboVNC 1.0 added multi-threading capabilities, which can be added in later if desired (at the expense of making libvncserver depend on libpthread.) Because TurboVNC uses a fundamentally different mix of subencodings than TightVNC, because it uses the identical protocol (and thus a viewer really has no idea whether it's talking to a TightVNC or TurboVNC server), and because it doesn't support rfbTightPng (and in fact conflicts with it-- see below), the TurboVNC and TightVNC encoders cannot be enabled simultaneously. Compatibility: In *most* cases, a TurboVNC-enabled viewer is fully compatible with a TightVNC server, and vice versa. TurboVNC supports pseudo-encodings for specifying a fine-grained (1-100) quality scale and specifying chrominance subsampling. If a TurboVNC viewer sends those to a TightVNC server, then the TightVNC server ignores them, so the TurboVNC viewer also sends the quality on a 0-9 scale that the TightVNC server can understand. Similarly, the TurboVNC server checks first for fine-grained quality and subsampling pseudo-encodings from the viewer, and failing to receive those, it then checks for the TightVNC 0-9 quality pseudo-encoding. There is one case in which the two systems are not compatible, and that is when a TightVNC or TigerVNC viewer requests compression level 0 without JPEG from a TurboVNC server. For performance reasons, this causes the TurboVNC server to send images directly to the viewer, bypassing Zlib. When the TurboVNC server does this, it also sets bits 7-4 in the compression control byte to rfbTightNoZlib (0x0A), which is unfortunately the same value as rfbTightPng. Older TightVNC viewers that don't handle PNG will assume that the stream is uncompressed but still encapsulated in a Zlib structure, whereas newer PNG-supporting TightVNC viewers will assume that the stream is PNG. In either case, the viewer will probably crash. Since most VNC viewers don't expose compression level 0 in the GUI, this is a relatively rare situation. Description of changes: configure.ac -- Added support for libjpeg-turbo. If passed an argument of --with-turbovnc, configure will now run (or, if cross-compiling, just link) a test program that determines whether the libjpeg library being used is libjpeg-turbo. libjpeg-turbo must be used when building the TurboVNC encoder, because the TurboVNC encoder relies on the libjpeg-turbo colorspace extensions in order to compress images directly out of the framebuffer (which may be, for instance, BGRA rather than RGB.) libjpeg-turbo can optionally be used with the TightVNC encoder as well, but the speedup will only be marginal (the report linked above explains why in more detail, but basically it's because of Amdahl's Law. The TightVNC encoder was designed with the assumption that JPEG had a very high CPU cost, and thus JPEG is used only sparingly.) -- Added a new configure variable, JPEG_LDFLAGS. This is necessitated by the fact that libjpeg-turbo often distributes libjpeg.a and libjpeg.so in /opt/libjpeg-turbo/lib32 or /opt/libjpeg-turbo/lib64, and many people prefer to statically link with it. Thus, more flexibility is needed than is provided by --with-jpeg. If JPEG_LDFLAGS is specified, then it overrides the changes to LDFLAGS enacted by --with-jpeg (but --with-jpeg is still used to set the include path.) The addition of JPEG_LDFLAGS necessitated replacing AC_CHECK_LIB with AC_LINK_IFELSE (because AC_CHECK_LIB automatically sets LIBS to -ljpeg, which is not what we want if we're, for instance, linking statically with libjpeg-turbo.) -- configure does not check for PNG support if TurboVNC encoding is enabled. This prevents the rfbSendRectEncodingTightPng() function from being compiled in, since the TurboVNC encoder doesn't (and can't) support it. common/turbojpeg.c, common/turbojpeg.h -- TurboJPEG is a simple API used to compress and decompress JPEG images in memory. It was originally implemented because it was desirable to use different types of underlying technologies to compress JPEG on different platforms (mediaLib on SPARC, Quicktime on PPC Macs, Intel Performance Primitives, etc.) These days, however, libjpeg-turbo is the only underlying technology used by TurboVNC, so TurboJPEG's purpose is largely just code simplicity and flexibility. Thus, since there is no real need for libvncserver to use any technology other than libjpeg-turbo for compressing JPEG, the TurboJPEG wrapper for libjpeg-turbo has been included in-tree so that libvncserver can be directly linked with libjpeg-turbo. This is convenient because many modern Linux distros (Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.) now ship libjpeg-turbo as their default libjpeg library. libvncserver/rfbserver.c -- Added logic to check for the TurboVNC fine-grained quality level and subsampling encodings and to map Tight (0-9) quality levels to appropriate fine-grained quality level and subsampling values if communicating with a TightVNC/TigerVNC viewer. libvncserver/turbo.c -- TurboVNC encoder (compiled instead of libvncserver/tight.c) rfb/rfb.h -- Added support for the TurboVNC subsampling level rfb/rfbproto.h -- Added constants for the TurboVNC fine quality level and subsampling encodings as well as the rfbTightNoZlib constant and notes on its usage.

if test "x$with_jpeg" != "xno"; then
Add TurboVNC encoding support. TurboVNC is a variant of TightVNC that uses the same client/server protocol (RFB version 3.8t), and thus it is fully cross-compatible with TightVNC and TigerVNC (with one exception, which is noted below.) Both the TightVNC and TurboVNC encoders analyze each rectangle, pick out regions of solid color to send separately, and send the remaining subrectangles using mono, indexed color, JPEG, or raw encoding, depending on the number of colors in the subrectangle. However, TurboVNC uses a fundamentally different selection algorithm to determine the appropriate subencoding to use for each subrectangle. Thus, while it sends a protocol stream that can be decoded by any TightVNC-compatible viewer, the mix of subencoding types in this protocol stream will be different from those generated by a TightVNC server. The research that led to TurboVNC is described in the following report: http://www.virtualgl.org/pmwiki/uploads/About/tighttoturbo.pdf. In summary: 20 RFB captures, representing "common" 2D and 3D application workloads (the 3D workloads were run using VirtualGL), were studied using the TightVNC encoder in isolation. Some of the analysis features in the TightVNC encoder, such as smoothness detection, were found to generate a lot of CPU usage with little or no benefit in compression, so those features were disabled. JPEG encoding was accelerated using libjpeg-turbo (which achieves a 2-4x speedup over plain libjpeg on modern x86 or ARM processors.) Finally, the "palette threshold" (minimum number of colors that the subrectangle must have before it is compressed using JPEG or raw) was adjusted to account for the fact that JPEG encoding is now quite a bit faster (meaning that we can now use it more without a CPU penalty.) TurboVNC has additional optimizations, such as the ability to count colors and encode JPEG images directly from the framebuffer without first translating the pixels into RGB. The TurboVNC encoder compares quite favorably in terms of compression ratio with TightVNC and generally encodes a great deal faster (often an order of magnitude or more.) The version of the TurboVNC encoder included in this patch is roughly equivalent to the one found in version 0.6 of the Unix TurboVNC Server, with a few minor patches integrated from TurboVNC 1.1. TurboVNC 1.0 added multi-threading capabilities, which can be added in later if desired (at the expense of making libvncserver depend on libpthread.) Because TurboVNC uses a fundamentally different mix of subencodings than TightVNC, because it uses the identical protocol (and thus a viewer really has no idea whether it's talking to a TightVNC or TurboVNC server), and because it doesn't support rfbTightPng (and in fact conflicts with it-- see below), the TurboVNC and TightVNC encoders cannot be enabled simultaneously. Compatibility: In *most* cases, a TurboVNC-enabled viewer is fully compatible with a TightVNC server, and vice versa. TurboVNC supports pseudo-encodings for specifying a fine-grained (1-100) quality scale and specifying chrominance subsampling. If a TurboVNC viewer sends those to a TightVNC server, then the TightVNC server ignores them, so the TurboVNC viewer also sends the quality on a 0-9 scale that the TightVNC server can understand. Similarly, the TurboVNC server checks first for fine-grained quality and subsampling pseudo-encodings from the viewer, and failing to receive those, it then checks for the TightVNC 0-9 quality pseudo-encoding. There is one case in which the two systems are not compatible, and that is when a TightVNC or TigerVNC viewer requests compression level 0 without JPEG from a TurboVNC server. For performance reasons, this causes the TurboVNC server to send images directly to the viewer, bypassing Zlib. When the TurboVNC server does this, it also sets bits 7-4 in the compression control byte to rfbTightNoZlib (0x0A), which is unfortunately the same value as rfbTightPng. Older TightVNC viewers that don't handle PNG will assume that the stream is uncompressed but still encapsulated in a Zlib structure, whereas newer PNG-supporting TightVNC viewers will assume that the stream is PNG. In either case, the viewer will probably crash. Since most VNC viewers don't expose compression level 0 in the GUI, this is a relatively rare situation.

Add TurboVNC encoding support. TurboVNC is a variant of TightVNC that uses the same client/server protocol (RFB version 3.8t), and thus it is fully cross-compatible with TightVNC and TigerVNC (with one exception, which is noted below.) Both the TightVNC and TurboVNC encoders analyze each rectangle, pick out regions of solid color to send separately, and send the remaining subrectangles using mono, indexed color, JPEG, or raw encoding, depending on the number of colors in the subrectangle. However, TurboVNC uses a fundamentally different selection algorithm to determine the appropriate subencoding to use for each subrectangle. Thus, while it sends a protocol stream that can be decoded by any TightVNC-compatible viewer, the mix of subencoding types in this protocol stream will be different from those generated by a TightVNC server. The research that led to TurboVNC is described in the following report: http://www.virtualgl.org/pmwiki/uploads/About/tighttoturbo.pdf. In summary: 20 RFB captures, representing "common" 2D and 3D application workloads (the 3D workloads were run using VirtualGL), were studied using the TightVNC encoder in isolation. Some of the analysis features in the TightVNC encoder, such as smoothness detection, were found to generate a lot of CPU usage with little or no benefit in compression, so those features were disabled. JPEG encoding was accelerated using libjpeg-turbo (which achieves a 2-4x speedup over plain libjpeg on modern x86 or ARM processors.) Finally, the "palette threshold" (minimum number of colors that the subrectangle must have before it is compressed using JPEG or raw) was adjusted to account for the fact that JPEG encoding is now quite a bit faster (meaning that we can now use it more without a CPU penalty.) TurboVNC has additional optimizations, such as the ability to count colors and encode JPEG images directly from the framebuffer without first translating the pixels into RGB. The TurboVNC encoder compares quite favorably in terms of compression ratio with TightVNC and generally encodes a great deal faster (often an order of magnitude or more.) The version of the TurboVNC encoder included in this patch is roughly equivalent to the one found in version 0.6 of the Unix TurboVNC Server, with a few minor patches integrated from TurboVNC 1.1. TurboVNC 1.0 added multi-threading capabilities, which can be added in later if desired (at the expense of making libvncserver depend on libpthread.) Because TurboVNC uses a fundamentally different mix of subencodings than TightVNC, because it uses the identical protocol (and thus a viewer really has no idea whether it's talking to a TightVNC or TurboVNC server), and because it doesn't support rfbTightPng (and in fact conflicts with it-- see below), the TurboVNC and TightVNC encoders cannot be enabled simultaneously. Compatibility: In *most* cases, a TurboVNC-enabled viewer is fully compatible with a TightVNC server, and vice versa. TurboVNC supports pseudo-encodings for specifying a fine-grained (1-100) quality scale and specifying chrominance subsampling. If a TurboVNC viewer sends those to a TightVNC server, then the TightVNC server ignores them, so the TurboVNC viewer also sends the quality on a 0-9 scale that the TightVNC server can understand. Similarly, the TurboVNC server checks first for fine-grained quality and subsampling pseudo-encodings from the viewer, and failing to receive those, it then checks for the TightVNC 0-9 quality pseudo-encoding. There is one case in which the two systems are not compatible, and that is when a TightVNC or TigerVNC viewer requests compression level 0 without JPEG from a TurboVNC server. For performance reasons, this causes the TurboVNC server to send images directly to the viewer, bypassing Zlib. When the TurboVNC server does this, it also sets bits 7-4 in the compression control byte to rfbTightNoZlib (0x0A), which is unfortunately the same value as rfbTightPng. Older TightVNC viewers that don't handle PNG will assume that the stream is uncompressed but still encapsulated in a Zlib structure, whereas newer PNG-supporting TightVNC viewers will assume that the stream is PNG. In either case, the viewer will probably crash. Since most VNC viewers don't expose compression level 0 in the GUI, this is a relatively rare situation. Description of changes: configure.ac -- Added support for libjpeg-turbo. If passed an argument of --with-turbovnc, configure will now run (or, if cross-compiling, just link) a test program that determines whether the libjpeg library being used is libjpeg-turbo. libjpeg-turbo must be used when building the TurboVNC encoder, because the TurboVNC encoder relies on the libjpeg-turbo colorspace extensions in order to compress images directly out of the framebuffer (which may be, for instance, BGRA rather than RGB.) libjpeg-turbo can optionally be used with the TightVNC encoder as well, but the speedup will only be marginal (the report linked above explains why in more detail, but basically it's because of Amdahl's Law. The TightVNC encoder was designed with the assumption that JPEG had a very high CPU cost, and thus JPEG is used only sparingly.) -- Added a new configure variable, JPEG_LDFLAGS. This is necessitated by the fact that libjpeg-turbo often distributes libjpeg.a and libjpeg.so in /opt/libjpeg-turbo/lib32 or /opt/libjpeg-turbo/lib64, and many people prefer to statically link with it. Thus, more flexibility is needed than is provided by --with-jpeg.

If passed an argument of --with-turbovnc, configure will now run (or, if cross-compiling, just link) a test program that determines whether the libjpeg library being used is libjpeg-turbo. libjpeg-turbo must be used when building the TurboVNC encoder, because the TurboVNC encoder relies on the libjpeg-turbo colorspace extensions in order to compress images directly out of the framebuffer (which may be, for instance, BGRA rather than RGB.) libjpeg-turbo can optionally be used with the TightVNC encoder as well, but the speedup will only be marginal (the report linked above explains why in more detail, but basically it's because of Amdahl's Law. The TightVNC encoder was designed with the assumption that JPEG had a very high CPU cost, and thus JPEG is used only sparingly.) -- Added a new configure variable, JPEG_LDFLAGS. This is necessitated by the fact that libjpeg-turbo often distributes libjpeg.a and libjpeg.so in /opt/libjpeg-turbo/lib32 or /opt/libjpeg-turbo/lib64, and many people prefer to statically link with it. Thus, more flexibility is needed than is provided by --with-jpeg. If JPEG_LDFLAGS is specified, then it overrides the changes to LDFLAGS enacted by --with-jpeg (but --with-jpeg is still used to set the include path.) The addition of JPEG_LDFLAGS necessitated replacing AC_CHECK_LIB with AC_LINK_IFELSE (because AC_CHECK_LIB automatically sets LIBS to -ljpeg, which is not what we want if we're, for instance, linking statically with libjpeg-turbo.) -- configure does not check for PNG support if TurboVNC encoding is enabled. This prevents the rfbSendRectEncodingTightPng() function from being compiled in, since the TurboVNC encoder doesn't (and can't) support it. common/turbojpeg.c, common/turbojpeg.h -- TurboJPEG is a simple API used to compress and decompress JPEG images in memory. It was originally implemented because it was desirable to use different types of underlying technologies to compress JPEG on different platforms (mediaLib on SPARC, Quicktime on PPC Macs, Intel Performance Primitives, etc.) These days, however, libjpeg-turbo is the only underlying technology used by TurboVNC, so TurboJPEG's purpose is largely just code simplicity and flexibility. Thus, since there is no real need for libvncserver to use any technology other than libjpeg-turbo for compressing JPEG, the TurboJPEG wrapper for libjpeg-turbo has been included in-tree so that libvncserver can be directly linked with libjpeg-turbo. This is convenient because many modern Linux distros (Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.) now ship libjpeg-turbo as their default libjpeg library. libvncserver/rfbserver.c -- Added logic to check for the TurboVNC fine-grained quality level and subsampling encodings and to map Tight (0-9) quality levels to appropriate fine-grained quality level and subsampling values if communicating with a TightVNC/TigerVNC viewer. libvncserver/turbo.c -- TurboVNC encoder (compiled instead of libvncserver/tight.c) rfb/rfb.h -- Added support for the TurboVNC subsampling level rfb/rfbproto.h -- Added constants for the TurboVNC fine quality level and subsampling encodings as well as the rfbTightNoZlib constant and notes on its usage.
