This changes modules/playit from experimental to "audio only".
Several other modules now incorporate the new flag into their
excludes to prevent inclusion where inappropriate.
|
|
Trivial cleanup. These are unnecessary nowadays since
til_setup_free() won't invoke the free_func() on a NULL setup,
and everything uses til_setup_free() to free a til_setup_t.
|
|
Becomes til_rgb_to_uint32(). Nothing functionally changed, just
making this generally available for anything wanting to parse an
rgb hex string into a uint32 packed pixel in a setup_func.
|
|
Minor oversight when this was written, this fragmenter is private
to checkers.
|
|
Mechanical transition from checkers_value_to_pos() to the now
libtil-provided equivalent of identical implementation.
|
|
Modules can now use the til_module_t.finish_frame() return value
to trigger re-rendering by returning 1, returning 0 finishes the
frame.
A smattering of til_module_t.finish_frame() implementations were
largely mechanically updated to match this change by returning 0,
since nothing actually uses multi-pass rendering yet.
The impetus for this is experimenting with the flow module doing
two passes of threaded rendering per frame. A first pass to
sample the flow field and update the elements, per-cpu, but
drawing nothing. Then a second pass to render the elements in a
tiled manner.
|
|
Just some more res_setup baking failure path cleanups, largely
mechanical change.
|
|
More setup_func conversion to returning the failed setting on
errors during res_setup baking.
|

The existing code wasn't clipping correctly to the right/bottom
edges of the incoming fragment when the xoff/yoff was 0 but
xshift/yshift non-zero. In that case the incoming fragment bound
was unintentionally being enlarged, resulting in an overrun when
the such a cell was filled/cleared.
It was discovered watching montage under rtv, which stumbled
across running checkers w/size=128 on a montage tile of 128x96.
The height/y coords of the single checker cell filling the whole
montage tile weren't getting clamped properly down to the 96-tall
tile.
The shifting for centering checkers introduced some really
annoying arithmetic in this fragmenter.
|
|
Trivial changes to improve some naming / scoping, done while
investigating a bug.
Nothing functionally changed

There's potential for some of the per-cpu fill_module_contexts to
go unused for an entire frame. When this occurs, depending on
the fill_module in use, it can lead to their context's state
diverging.
To mitigate this possibility, add a tidying up pass in
checkers_finish_frame() where such straggler contexts are
identified and forced to render once into a cell-sized waste_fb
of off-screen memory.
This ensures all contexts see all frames/ticks that any
participated in, preserving their clone status across the board.
Prior to this you could see jittering in something like
'--module=checkers,fill_module=roto' as the roto contexts
diverged on the r/rr variables when some didn't get in on the
action of some frames.
See large TODO comment for why this approach is used instead of
something less wasteful of cpu time.
If this approach is kept, it might make sense to do the waste
rendering in parallel. Systems with large numbers of cores could
end up with many stragglers, depending on how many cells there
are vs. cpus. I don't have any such systems so it's difficult to
test any efforts in that vein.

Switch to the generic til_module_setup_full() and rely on the
"none" builtin's NULL res_setup on finalize to indicate when no
fill_module is desired.
This gets rid of the need for a separate til_module_t* handle for
the fill_module, since til_setup_t.creator can be used for that,
and the NULL til_setup_t* to indicate no fill_module.
Basically discards some busy work style code, there's more
cleanups needed surrounding this stuff though.
|
|
Particularly with nested modules it's annoying to have to stow
the module separate from the setup during the setup process.
If the baked setup included the module pointer in the
non-module-specific-setup part of the setup, then nested settings
could finalize using the generic module setup wrapper and just
rely on this til_setup_t.creator pointer to contain the
appropriate module. Which should enable tossing out a bunch of
copy-n-pasta surrounding nested modules setup.
Note this has to be a void* since til_setup_t is a generic thing
used equally by both the fb code and the module code. Hence why
this is called "creator" and not "module", as well as the void*
as opposed to til_module_t*.
Also if rototiller ever grows a sound backend, the setup
machinery will be reused there as well, and it'll be yet another
creator handle that isn't an til_fb_ops_t or a til_module_t.
It's assumed that the callers producing these setups won't be
trying to pass them to the wrong places i.e. a module setup
getting passed to an fb backend and vice versa.
I'm mildly annoyed about having to move the various til_module_t
blocks to above the module's foo_setup(), but it seemed like the
least annoying option. This may be revisited.
|
|
There's an outstanding issue surrounding the need for context
clones, and I'd just like to write something down somewhere
before it falls off my radar. Presently it's just checkers that
exercises this need, so it makes sense to put it here for now,
until I get around to actually taking action on the issue.
|
|
In the early days of checkers when I introduced fill_module= with
the per-cpu contexts to still allow threaded rendering, the whole
seed passing to contexts thing wasn't as well sorted out. This
meant the contexts often produced vastly different outputs
despite being the same module, same seed, and same settings.
The consequence of that was that w/fill_module checkers would
produce crazy randomized output when you expected the same output
in the filled cells. But by using .cpu_affinity (which I had to
implement just for this use case actually) at least the different
outputs would become stable. It was a band-aid over a different
problem that still needed sorting out.
Nowadays, it seems like this is improved enough at least for
alphazed to look correct without the affinity hack, so I'm
removing it because it really kills checkers threaded
performance.
Whatever modules remain uncooperative WRT seed reproducibility,
they'll just need to be fixed up.

In the interests of improving error handling of interactive
setups, return the setting that was invalid when setup returns
-EINVAL.
For now this is only supported for non-finalized/non-baking setup
calls, i.e. (!res_setup).
In the future I want this also supported for finalizing when
res_setup is set. A lot of the -EINVAL returns are actually
during that stage (or need to be added) due to that being when
the more sensitive parsing occurs going from strings to native
numeric types and such.
The main reason it's not already being done in this commit is
it'll churn quite a bit to get there, since the setup funcs don't
generally have the setting pointers onhand at that phase. It'll
require changing the string-value-centric local variables to
instead all be the til_setting_t* holding those values.
And if setup funcs aren't going to be so value-centric, the
settings API will likely change to not even return the values
directly anymore and only return the full-blown til_settings_t as
the main return pointer, perhaps rid of their res_setting use
even.
Anyway, while here I did some random little cleanups too.
|
|
Not sure why this was -ENOMEM, module lookups don't allocate
anything...
|
|
I thought the build was already using -Wall but that seems to not
be the case, maybe got lost somewhere along the line or messed up
in configure.ac
After forcing a build with -Wall -Werror, these showed up.
Fixed up in the obvious way, nothing too scary.

Similar to fill= and fill_color=, these influence how to treat
the "clear" cells.
Until now "clear" cells would unconditionally just be cleared via
til_fb_fragment_clear(). Now they can also be filled
w/color,sampled,textured, and maybe in the future a clear_module=
will also be introduced.
Note that for now I've left the clear_color randomizer disabled,
see code comments.
Having this setting also makes me wonder if the "filled" cells
should be optionally cleared using the "clear" setting first.
Imagine a scenario where you have fill_module=shapes, and you
want the color around the shape to match the clear color, for
instance... Especially once you can pass a color down to the
fill_module, controlling these things becomes more critical.
There's definitely more work to do here.
|
|
Preparatory commit for introducing equivalents for the "clear"
cells.
This renamed the color= setting to fill_color=, in addition to
the internal naming.
|
|
Just a boring replacement of the ad-hoc n_cpus context creates
for the fill_module contexts with the newly added libtil
equivalent function.
Future commits will expand the libtil side to get module contexts
registered for discovery purposes on-stream. This change moves a
bit closer towards that goal...
|
|
This changes til_setup_t* from optional to required for
til_module_context_t creation, while dropping the separate path
parameter construction and passing throughout.
|
|
This replaces the few ad-hoc til_module_t.setup() setup-baking
callers with the new til_module_setup_finalize() which always
produces a til_setup_t having an appropriate path, even when
there is no til_module_t.setup() method.
|
|
This commit adds passing the settings instance to til_setup_new()
which is used for deriving a path for the setup via
til_settings_print_path() on the supplied settings.
That path gets an allocated copy left in the returned
til_setup_t at til_setup_t.path
This path will exist for the lifetime of the til_setup_t, to be
freed along with the rest of the baked setup instance when the
refcount reaches 0.
The incoming til_settings_t is only read @ til_setup_new() in
constructing the path, no reference is kept. Basically the
til_settings_t* is just passed in for convenience reasons, since
constructing the path needs memory and may fail, this approach
lets the existing til_setup_new() call error handling also
capture the path allocation failures as-is turning
til_setup_new() into a bit more of a convenience helper.
Note that now all code may assume a til_setup_t has a set and
valid til_setup_t.path, which should be useful for context
creates when a setup is available.

Currently settings instances get labels from three sources:
1. explicitly labeled by a root-level til_settings_new() call,
like main.c::til_settings_new(NULL, "video", args->video);
2. implicitly labeled in a spec.as_nested_settings w/spec.key
3. positionally labeled in a spec.as_nested_settings w/o spec.key
But when constructing setting/desc paths, using strictly these
settings instance labels as the "directory name path component"
equivalent, leaves something to be desired.
Take this hypothetical module setting path for example:
/module/layers/[0]/viscosity
Strictly using settings instance labels as-is, the above is what
you'd get for the drizzle::viscosity setting in something like:
--module=compose,layers=drizzle
Which is really awkward. What's really desired is more like:
/module/compose/layers/[0]/drizzle/viscosity
Now one way to achieve that is to just create more settings
instances to hold these module names as labels and things would
Just Work more or less.
But that would be rather annoying and heavyweight, when what's
_really_ wanted is a way to turn the first entry's value of a
given setting instance into a sort of synthetic directory
component in the path.
So that's what this commit does. When a spec has .as_label
specified, it's saying that path construction should treat this
setting's value as if it were a label on a settings instance.
But it's special cased to only apply to descs hanging off the
first entry of a settings instance, as that's the only scenario
we're making use of, and it avoids having to do crazy things like
search all the entries for specs w/.as_label set.
It feels a bit janky but it does achieve what's needed with
little pain/churn.
|
|
The bare-value value_as_nested_settings.entries[0] setting which
serves as the name for module lookup is in a sort of no-mans land
between checkers and the underlying fill_module's setup.
So we have to do this little bit of rigamarole in checkers, being
the entity wiring up the nested module. The fill_module's
setup_func won't be doing anything to describe the name's
setting as it's only interested in its own settings.
There will likely be some helpers made later to streamline this
process of composing module/settings hierarchies.
|
|
this oversight becomes apparent when stacking checkers as compose
layers w/random pattern and/or dynamics. The stacked instances
would identical pseudo-random behaviors for lack of seeding.
|
|
These were being supplied backwards to til_module_context_new(),
which mostly just meant the seed always started @ 0 for early
checkers contexts, or were just slightly different ticks values
for later ones.
|
|
These are expected to match, and it's asserted as such in various
fragmenters. Especially now that we're getting more exuberant
with recursive settings/modules, the correctness of the checkers
cells fragment is becoming more exercised/important.
|
|
fill_module= now takes a settings string, so you can specify not
just the name of the module, but additional settings passed into
that module's setup.
The fill_module's context path is also now getting fill_module
appended, but see the large comment surrounding that mess WRT
checker's per-cpu fill_module context creations.
|
|
With setup refcounting and a reference bound to the context, we
should just dereference the single instance. The way setups are
used it just as a read-only thing to affect context behavior...
Note I've left the module-type-specific setup pointer despite it
duplicating the setup pointer in the module_context. This is
just a convenience thing so the accessors don't have to cast the
general til_setup_t* to my_module_setup_t* everywhere.
|
|
This just does the obvious pulling in of til_setup_t, holding the
reference throughout the lifetime of the module context.
|
|
There was a time when it made sense for context creates needing
setups but not receiving them to still be functional with some
sane defaults.
But with recursive settings, we really shouldn't ever have
orphaned nested module uses unreachable by a proper setup.
So let's just get rid of this fallback, and exclusively rely on
the baked setups provided by the .setup() methods. They still
have preferred defaults, and the proper setup production
machinery is what should be responsible for applying those
at runtime where they may also be overridden or otherwise
influenced.
|
|
For recursive settings the individual setting being described
needs to get added to a potentially different settings instance
than the one being operated on at the top of the current
setup_func phase.
The settings instance being passed around for a setup_func to
operate on is constified, mainly to try ensure modules don't
start directly mucking with the settings. They're supposed to
just describe what they want next and iterate back and forth,
with the front-end creating the settings from the returned descs
however is appropriate, eventually building up the settings to
completion.
But since it's the setup_func that decides which settings
instance is appropriate for containing the setting.. at some
point it must associate a settings instance with the desc it's
producing, one that is going to be necessarily written to.
So here I'm just turning the existing til_setting_desc_t to a
"spec", unchanged. And introducing a new til_setting_desc_t
embedding the spec, accompanied by a non-const til_settings_t*
"container".
Now what setup_funcs use to express settings are a spec,
otherwise identically to before. Instead of cloning a desc to
allocate it for returning to the front-end, the desc is created
from a spec with the target settings instance passed in.
This turns the desc step where we take a constified settings
instance and cast it into a non-const a more formal act of going
from spec->desc, binding the spec to a specific settings
instance. It will also serve to isolate that hacky cast to a
til_settings function, and all the accessors of
til_setting_desc_t needing to operate on the containing settings
instance can just do so.
As of this commit, the container pointer is just sitting in the
desc_t but isn't being made use of or even assigned yet. This is
just to minimize the amount of churn happening in this otherwise
mostly mechanical and sprawling commit.
There's also been some small changes surrounding the desc
generators and plumbing of the settings instance where there
previously wasn't any. It's unclear to me if desc generators
will stay desc generators or turn into spec generators. For now
those are mostly just used by the drm_fb stuff anyways, modules
haven't made use of them, so they can stay a little crufty
harmlessly for now.

Let's make it so til_module_context_t as returned from
til_module_context_new() can immediately be freed via
til_module_context_free().
Previously it was only after the context propagated out to
til_module_context_create() that it could be freed that way, as
that was where the module member was being assigned.
With this change, and wiring up the module pointer into
til_module_t.create_context() as well for convenient providing to
til_module_context_new(), til_module_t.create_context() error
paths can easily cleanup via `return til_module_context_free()`
But this does require the til_module_t.destroy_context() be able
to safely handle partially constructed contexts, since the
mid-create failure freeing won't necessarily have all the members
initialized. There will probably be some NULL derefs to fix up,
but at least the contexts are zero-initialized @ new.
|
|
This was mostly done out of convenience at the expense of turning
the fragment struct into more of a junk drawer.
But properly cleaning up owned stream pipes on context destroy
makes the inappropriateness of being part of til_fb_fragment_t
glaringly apparent.
Now the stream is just a separate thing passed to context create,
with a reference kept in the context for use throughout. Cleanup
of the owned pipes on the stream supplied to context create is
automagic when the context gets destroyed.
Note that despite there being a stream in the module context, the
stream to use is still supplied to all the rendering family
functions (prepare/render/finish) and it's the passed-in stream
which should be used by these functions. This is done to support
the possibility of switching out the stream frame-to-frame, which
may be interesting. Imagine doing things like a latent stream
and a future stream and switching between them on the fly for
instance. If there's a sequencing composite module, it could
flip between multiple sets of tracks or jump around multiple
streams with the visuals immediately flipping accordingly.
This should fix the --print-pipes crashing issues caused by lack
of cleanup when contexts were removed (like rtv does so often).

There needs to be a way to address module context instances
by name externally, in a manner complementary to settings and
taps.
This commit adds a string-based path to til_module_context_t, and
modifies til_module_create_context() to accept a parent path
which is then concatenated with the name of the module to produce
the module instance's new path.
The name separator used in the paths is '/' just like filesystem
paths, but these paths have no relationship to filesystems or
files.
The root module context creation in rototiller's main simply
passes "" as the parent path, resulting in a "/" root as one
would expect.
There are some obvious complications introduced here however:
- checkers in particular creates a context per cpu, simply using
the same seed and setup to try make the contexts identical at
the same ticks value. With this commit I'm simply passing the
incoming path as the parent for creating those contexts, but
it's unclear to me if that will work OK. With an eye towards
taps deriving their parent path from the context path, I guess
these taps would all get the same parent and hash to the same
value despite being duplicated. Maybe it Just Works, but one
thing is clear - there won't be any way to address the per-cpu
taps as-is. Maybe that's desirable though, there's probably
not much use in trying to control the taps at the CPU
granularity.
- when the recursive settings stuff lands, it should bring along
the ability to explicitly name settings blocks. Those names
should override the module name in constructing the path.
I've noted as such in the code.
- these paths probably need to be hashed @ initialization time
so there needs to be a hash function added to til, and a hash
value accompanying the name in the module context. It'd be
dumb to keep recomputing the hash when these paths get used
for hash table lookups multiple times per frame...
there's probably more I'm forgetting right now, but this seems
like a good first step.

Until now when fragmenting with a texture present the texture
pointer was simply copied through to the new logical fragment.
The problem with that is when sampling pixels from the texture in
a nested frame scenario, the locations didn't align with the
placement of the logical fragment.
With this change when the incoming fragment has a texture, the
output fragment gets some uninitialized memory attached in the
outgoing fragment's texture pointer. Then the fragmenter is
expected to do the same populating of res_fragment->texture it
already did for res_fragment, just relative to
fragment->texture->{buf,stride,pitch} etc.
It's a bit hairy/janky because til_fb_fragment_t.texture is just
a pointer to another til_fb_fragment_t. So the ephemeral/logical
fragments fragmenting/tiling produces which tend to just be
sitting on the stack need to get another til_fb_fragment_t
instance somewhere and made available at the ephemeral
til_fb_fragment_t's .texture member. We don't want to be
allocating and freeing these things constantly, so for now I'm
just ad-hoc stowing the pointer of an adjacent on-stack texture
fragment in the .texture member when the incoming fragment has a
texture. But this is gross because the rest of the fragment
contents don't get initialized _at_all_, and currently if the
incoming fragment has no texture the res_fragment->texture member
isn't even initialized. The fragmenters aren't really supposed
to be expecting anything sensible in *res_fragment, but now we're
making use of res_fragment->texture *if* fragment->texture is
set. This is just gross.
So there's a bunch of asserts sprinkled around to help police
this fragility for now, but if someone writes new fragmenters
there's a good chance this will trip them up.

Preparatory commit for enabling cloneable/swappable fragments
There's an outstanding issue with the til_fb_page_t submission,
see comments. Doesn't matter for now since cloning doesn't happen
yet, but will need to be addressed before they do.
|
|
This introduces a bespoke fragmenter for checkers. The generic
til_fb tiler isn't concerned with aesthetics so it doesn't
particularly care if clipped tiles are asymmetrically
distributed. It worked fine to get checkers developed and
working, but it's really unattractive to have the whole be
off-centered when the checkers don't perfectly align with the
frame size.
There's some gross aspects like leaving the frame_{width,height}
to be corrected at render time so render_fragment can access the
incoming frame_width for cell state determination.
|
|
wired up to til_module_context.seed
|
|
til_setting_desc_t.random() and til_module_randomize_setup() now
take seeds.
Note they are not taking a pointer to a shared seed, but instead
receive the seed by value.
If a caller wishes the seed to evolve on every invocation into
these functions, it should simply insert a rand_r(&seed) in
producing the supplied seed value.
Within a given randomizer, the seed evolves when appropriate.
But isolating the effects by default seems appropriate, so
callers can easily have determinism within their respective scope
regardless of how much nested random use occurs.

this introduces a color= setting syntax:
color=#rrggbb
color=0xrrggbb
color=rrggbb
where rrggbb is case-insensitive html-style hexadecimal
also introduces a fill= setting:
fill=color
fill=sampled
fill=textured
fill=random
fill=mixed
sampled draws the color from the incoming fragment when layered,
textured draws the pixels from the texture when available,
random randomizes the choice from color,sampled,textured.
mixed isn't implemented fully and is just aliased to random
currently. The thinking for mixed is to allow specifying
proportions for color,sampled,textured which would then be
applied as weights when randomizing the selection from the three
at every filled checker.
the current implementation is just calling rand() when
randomized, but should really be like the other dynamics in
checkers with rate control and hash-based.
and introduces a fill_module= setting:
this is a first stab at employing other modules for filling the
filled cells.
Note since checkers is already a threaded module, the fill module
context gets created per-cpu but with an n_cpus=1.
This is kind of the first time module contexts are being rendered
manifold for the same frame, and that's illuminating some
shortcomings which needed to be dealt with. Some modules
automatically advance a phase/T value on every render which gets
persisted in their context struct. With how checkers is using
contexts, it's desirable for multiple renders of the same context
using the same ticks to produce the same output. So modules need
to be more careful about time and determine "dt" (delta-time)
values, and animate proportional to ticks elapsed. When ticks
doesn't change between renders, dt is zero, and nothing should
change.
For now this is using a hard-coded list of modules to choose
from, you specify the module by name or "none" for no
fill_module (solid checker fill). ex: "fill_module=shapes"
There's a need for something like fragment color and flag
overrides to allow til_module_render() to be treated as more of a
brush where the caller gets to specify what colors to use, or if
texturing should be allowed. For now, when fill_module=$module
is employed, the color determination stuff within checkers
doesn't get applied. That will need to be fixed in the future.
|
|
modules/checkers w/fill_module=$module requires a consistent
mapping of cpu to fragnum since it creates a per-cpu
til_module_context_t for the fill_module.
The existing implementation for threaded rendering maximizes
performance by letting *any* scheduled to run thread advance
fragnum atomically and render the acquired fragnum
indiscriminately. A side effect of this is any given frame, even
rendered by the same module, will have a random mapping of
cpus/threads to fragnums.
With this change, the simple til_module_t.prepare_frame() API of
returning a bare fragmenter function is changed to instead return
a "frame plan" in til_frame_plan_t. Right now til_frame_plan_t
just contains the same fragmenter as before, but also has a
.cpu_affinity member for setting if the frame requires a stable
relationship of cpu/thread to fragnum.
Setting .cpu_affinity should be avoided if unnecessary, and that
is the default if you don't mention .cpu_affinity at all when
initializing the plan in the ergonomic manner w/designated
initializers. This is because the way .cpu_affinity is
implemented will leave threads spinning while they poll for
*their* next fragnum using atomic intrinsics. There's probably
some room for improvement here, but this is good enough for now
to get things working and correct.
|
|
Also wire this up to the til_module_context_new() helper and
all its callers.
This is in preparation for modules doing more correct delta-T
derived animation.

- modules now allocate their contexts using
til_module_context_new() instead of [cm]alloc().
- modules simply embed til_module_context_t at the start of their
respective private context structs, if they do anything with
contexts
- modules that do nothing with contexts (lack a create_context()
method), will now *always* get a til_module_context_t supplied
to their other methods regardless of their create_context()
presence. So even if you don't have a create_context(), your
prepare_frame() and/or render_fragment() methods can still
access seed and n_cpus from within the til_module_context_t
passed in as context, *always*.
- modules that *do* have a create_context() method, implying they
have their own private context type, will have to cast the
til_module_context_t supplied to the other methods to their
private context type. By embedding the til_module_context_t at
the *start* of their private context struct, a simple cast is
all that's needed. If it's placed somewhere else, more
annoying container_of() style macros are needed - this is
strongly discouraged, just put it at the start of struct.
- til_module_create_context() now takes n_cpus, which may be set
to 0 for automatically assigning the number of threads in its
place. Any non-zero value is treated as an explicit n_cpus,
primarily intended for setting it to 1 for single-threaded
contexts necessary when embedded within an already-threaded
composite module.
- modules like montage which open-coded a single-threaded render
are now using the same til_module_render_fragment() as
everything else, since til_module_create_context() is accepting
n_cpus.
- til_module_create_context() now produces a real type, not void
*, that is til_module_context_t *. All the other module
context functions now operate on this type, and since
til_module_context_t.module tracks the module this context
relates to, those functions no longer require both the module
and context be passed in. This is especially helpful for
compositing modules which do a lot of module context creation
and destruction; the module handle is now only needed to create
the contexts. Everything else operating on that context only
needs the single context pointer, not module+context pairs,
which was unnecessarily annoying.
- if your module's context can be destroyed with a simple free(),
without any deeper knowledge or freeing of nested pointers, you
can now simply omit destroy_context() altogether. When
destroy_context() is missing, til_module_context_free() will
automatically use libc's free() on the pointer returned from
your create_context() (or on the pointer that was automatically
created if you omitted create_context() too, for the
bare til_module_context_t that got created on your behalf
anyways).
For the most part, these changes don't affect module creation.
In some ways this eases module creation by making it more
convenient access seed and n_cpus if you had no further
requirement for a context struct.
In other ways it's slightly annoying to have to do type-casts
when you're working with your own context type, since before it
was all void* and didn't require casts when assigning to your
typed context variables.
The elimination for requiring a destroy_context() method in
simple free() of private context scenarios removes some
boilerplate in simple cases.
I think it's a wash for module writers, or maybe a slight win for
the simple cases.

I don't think rototiller is an appropriate place for being so
uncooperative, if someone gets the case wrong anywhere just make
it work. We should avoid making different things so subtly
different that case alone is the distinction anyways, so I don't
see this creating any future namespace collision problems.

In the recent surge of ADD-style rtv+compose focused development,
a bunch of modules were changed to randomize initial states at
context_create() so they wouldn't be so repetitive.
But the way this was done in a way that made it impossible to
suppress the randomized initial state, which sometimes may be
desirable in compositions. Imagine for instance something like
the checkers module, rendering one module in the odd cells, and
another module into the even cells. Imagine if these modules are
actually the same, but if checkers used one seed for all the odd
cells and another seed for all the even cells. If the modules
used actually utilized the seed provided, checkers would be able
to differentiate the odd from even by seeding them differently
even when the modules are the same.
This commit is a step in that direction, but rototiller and all
the composite modules (rtv,compose,montage) are simply passing
rand() as the seeds. Also none of the modules have yet been
modified to actually make use of these seeds.
Subsequent commits will update modules to seed their
pseudo-randomized initial state from the seed value rather than
always calling things like rand() themselves.

Just adds TIL_FB_DRAW_FLAG_TEXTURABLE so callers can granularly
inhibit texturing if desired.

Just one case, modules/submit, was using 32x32 tiles and is now
using 64x64. I don't expect it to make any difference.
While here I fixed up the num_cpus/n_cpus naming inconsistencies,
normalizing on n_cpus.
