gamescope: payload 20261107.1 and daemon from gamenative-drm#60, the shim waits for the panel's release (DXVK tearing at 60 Hz) - #2369
This ships GameNative/gamenative-drm#60 (branch shim-waits-panel-release-fence, head 77c581d), which fixes tearing in DXVK games under gamescope on 60 Hz panels. The report: Mangmi Air Y Pro, SD865, 1280x960 at 60 Hz; Skyrim LE, Arkham City, L4D and NFS MW 2012; only above about 40 fps, with vsync on or off. It doesn't show in screen recordings.
Cause. The daemon sends gamescope's page-flip event when it publishes a frame. gamescope then hands back the buffer that frame replaced, while the panel may still be scanning it out. The game gets that buffer at its next acquire and renders into it on screen. GameNative/gamenative-drm#60 has the full chain, with file and line references.
Fix. The daemon now tells the shim when a buffer is replaced on the layer, and forwards SurfaceFlinger's release fence for it. The shim waits for that release at vkAcquireNextImageKHR, for at most 33 ms, before the game can render into the buffer.
The flip-event timing is unchanged.
The fix needs both halves: a new daemon with an old shim, or an old daemon with a new shim, behaves exactly as master does.
What changes in this PR
app/src/main/jniLibs/arm64-v8a/libgamenative_drm.so, built from 77c581d:
It is uploaded to the bucket root. Both download hosts (downloads.gamenative.app and the r2.dev fallback) serve this sha256, and the shim inside the served copy matches.
It is 20261105.4 with only the shim replaced: 1014 members, the same order and modes, and every other member byte-identical.
Note for review:GameNative/gamenative-drm#60 branches from drm master, so this shim also carries GameNative/gamenative-drm#59. That PR (the swapchain image count follows the guest's ask, with one ring of hidden slots) is merged but not yet in any payload; 20261105.4 was built at #56/#57. If #59 should ship separately, the shim can be rebuilt from the fix on top of the 20261105.4 source.
Build (NDK 27.3, rustc 1.98.1 via rustup, SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH = commit time, rustflags from tools/build-android.sh):
cargo build --release --target aarch64-linux-android -p gndrm-android -p adrenotools_gamescope: OK.
check-exports: PASS (daemon 20 exports, shim 3).
check-elf-deps: OK for both libraries.
clippy with -D warnings (android, shim, daemon, uapi; all targets): clean.
Host tests in rust:1-bookworm (aarch64): uapi 20, daemon 100 + 8 + 36, shim 130, all passing.
The two drm commits build to byte-identical libraries.
Test plan
Device verification is pending.
Install the APK from this branch and launch one of the reported DXVK games under gamescope, uncapped, on a 60 Hz panel.
Expect Gamescope payload 20261107.1 ready in logcat.
Expected: no tearing, at the same fps as master. On master a cap below the panel rate already hides the tear, so the comparison must be uncapped.
In the game process, a scan-out: a release wait ran out … line means a release note was lost. It prints once per process.
Recording
Pending device verification.

Summary by cubic
Fixes tearing in DXVK games under gamescope on 60 Hz panels by having the shim wait for the panel's release fence before handing a buffer back to the game.
The daemon now tells the shim when a layer buffer is replaced and forwards its release fence; the shim waits up to 33 ms at vkAcquireNextImageKHR before the game can render into it. Previously, gamescope handed back buffers the panel might still be scanning out, and the next acquired frame rendered over them on screen.
Ships payload 20261107.1 (replacing 20261105.4); only the shim member changes, the rest of the payload is byte-identical, and the APK daemon moves to the gamenative-drm#60 build at 77c581d. Device verification is still pending.
Notes for review
The fix needs both halves: a new daemon with an old shim, or an old daemon with a new shim, behaves exactly as master.
The shim also carries the merged-but-unshipped gamenative-drm#59 (swapchain image count follows the guest's ask); it can be rebuilt without it if Storage #59 should ship separately.
Written for commit 4544eb6. Summary will update on new commits.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Updates
Updated the Gamescope payload to version 20261107.1. This is a version update to the Gamescope content included with the app; no other user-facing changes are described in this release.
…el's release fences
The daemon tells the shim when a scanned-out buffer has been replaced on the
layer and forwards SurfaceFlinger's release fence for it, so the guest waits
until the panel is done with a buffer before rendering into it again. Only a
shim that subscribes with CAP_RELEASE_FENCE is sent these notes; an older shim
behaves as before. The page-flip event timing is unchanged.
The shim waits at acquire, for at most 33 ms, until the daemon reports that the
panel has released the slot's buffer, which removes the tearing DXVK games show
under gamescope above about 40 fps on 60 Hz panels. 20261105.4 with only
lib/libadrenotools_gamescope.so replaced (sha256 2dcb1948...4ce6); archive
sha256 a14c58fe...19cf, served by both download hosts.
The update has bounded installation risks: overlapping setup can fail when the payload is bundled, obsolete archives can consume storage, and interrupted promotion can complicate offline rollback. Mergeable with owner awareness and targeted follow-up.

Preserve the old payload during promotion.
If promotion fails or the process stops after deletion, the old payload is lost. A rollback that retains app data can then require a download before an offline Gamescope session can start. Preserve the old payload across an interrupted or failed promotion.

Description
Depends on GameNative/gamenative-drm#60. Do not merge before it.
This ships GameNative/gamenative-drm#60 (branch
shim-waits-panel-release-fence, head 77c581d), which fixes tearing in DXVK games under gamescope on 60 Hz panels. The report: Mangmi Air Y Pro, SD865, 1280x960 at 60 Hz; Skyrim LE, Arkham City, L4D and NFS MW 2012; only above about 40 fps, with vsync on or off. It doesn't show in screen recordings.Cause. The daemon sends gamescope's page-flip event when it publishes a frame. gamescope then hands back the buffer that frame replaced, while the panel may still be scanning it out. The game gets that buffer at its next acquire and renders into it on screen. GameNative/gamenative-drm#60 has the full chain, with file and line references.
Fix. The daemon now tells the shim when a buffer is replaced on the layer, and forwards SurfaceFlinger's release fence for it. The shim waits for that release at
vkAcquireNextImageKHR, for at most 33 ms, before the game can render into the buffer.What changes in this PR
