Summary:
The idea behind this autotest is inspired by bug 356328 which produced
incorrect rendering results. Also it's inspired by openQA which performs
image reference comparisons.
This test case tries to go further. It creates reference images which
must match the rendering result exactly. So far the test case verifies
the start condition - kwin started and one frame is rendered with default
cursor in the middle of the screen. And it verifies the moving of the
cursor without any windows shown. Whenever the cursor moves a repaint
should be triggered and the old and new area should be properly
repainted.
To support this the test needs some minor changes in KWin:
* Scene provides a frameRendered signal - needed for waiting on frame
* Scene and SceneQPainter are exported
* SceneQPainter provides access to it's Backend, so that we get to the
backbuffer
* ScriptedEffectLoader is exported for getting a list of all scripted
effects - (we don't want fade to manipulate the rendering)

Summary:
No need to delegate the painting of the software cursor into the backend.
The core has enough information to perform the rendering itself.
This change means less code duplication and all platforms which might use
a software cursor in QPainter compositor gain support for it without any
further adjustments.

Summary:
The call to render the cursor was missing in the multi-screen code path
of the QPainter Compositor.

Summary:
On the framebuffer backend the software rendered cursor was creating
rendering artifacts due to incorrect clipping. This change ensures that
in a single screen setup the clipping is performed correctly. For multi
screen a similar change might be required, but we currently don't have
any a way to test that as framebuffer only supports one screen and other
(visual) platforms don't support the software cursor.

Summary:
For one SceneQPainter is only used on Wayland and it can be created
through the Platform, so no different code pathes needed even if we
had SceneQPainter on X11.

The rendering is done in a recursive way. For updating the buffer an
important change is done: the buffer is copied into a new QImage on each
change and the differences are no longer painted. This is due to damage
region in a sub-surface tree being basically unknown.
Summary:
Before we were able to render Xwayland windows through the Wayland buffer
we used a xcb-shm to map the window data in the QPainter compositor.
As we don't use that any more and QPainter is not available for X11
anyway we can just drop the code.

This describes an additional offset for the client content. On X11
our client content position matches with the window - the window
decoration is part of the overall content coordinate system.
On Wayland the content is an own texture starting at 0/0. Thus a
mapping to texture coordinates will be required when server side
decorations are provided. The new information is used in the scene's
to adjust the rendering and generating of quads.
The aim is to be able to create a plugin for each of the backends.
The following directories are created:
* backends/drm
* backends/fbdev
* backends/wayland
* backends/x11
For each DrmOutput a set of buffers is created and presented. The
renderig is still in one go and not synced to the individual screens.
Dynamic changes are not yet supported.
The backend can indicate that the rendering needs to be split per screen.
In that case it has to provide a different rendering buffer per screen.
The painting in the scene is adjusted to either take a splitted path
or the existing path for all screens in one go.
* blocks compositor while session is inactive
* prevents page flips while session is inactive
* restores modes when going to inactive
* hides cursor when going to inactive
* blanks screens when going active
* shows cursor again when going active
* triggers a repaint when going active
Introduces a new (optional) dependency: libdrm.
The DrmBackend currently supports finding the first connected output.
It can create shared memory buffers which are used by SceneQPainter to
do double buffered rendering.
There is still lots to do, the following things are not yet working:
* multiple outputs
* page flip
* OpenGL (through gbm)
* restoring mode setting to start value
At least the framebuffer backend does not have support for an overlay
cursor. Thus the cursor needs to be rendered by the scene. This change
allows a backend to set that it needs a software cursor which triggers
tracking in the AbstractBackend. A repaint for the old cursor region is
triggered whenever the cursor pos changes.
So far only the QPainter/framebuffer scene is adjusted to render the
software cursor. This is done after rendering a frame with the up to
date cursor position.
There is one problem, though: the KWin internal cursors don't work
as we need to get it from the theme. Using wayland-cursor doesn't help
as it gives us a (client) wl_buffer* and we cannot read the memory back.
This new backend allows to start a kwin_wayland server nested on an
X-Server by using a normal X11 window as output. This allows testing
kwin_wayland without needing to start another Wayland server first.
The behavior is triggered by using new command line arguments:
--windowed
--x11-display=<:0>
With optional --width and --height arguments.
In this mode the WaylandBackend is not created at all.
So far the backend is not fully integrated yet and only the QPainter
backend supports this mode.
The concept of Buffers do not match WindowPixmap perfectly. With X11
we had a pixmap as long as the size was the sime, then it got discarded.
With Wayland we get a new Buffer whenever the window gets damaged.
Furthermore the Buffer might get destroyed any time (especially if the
client disconnects) or the data becomes invalid (it's a shm section after
all).
This adds some constraints on how the Buffer can be used. It's suggested
that the implementing sub-classes do a deep copy of the Buffer's data
when accessing it. For OpenGL that's rather obvious, for QPainter it
needs a dedicated QImage::copy.
WindowPixmap holds a pointer to the currently used Buffer, but doesn't
guarantee that it stays valid. Every time the window gets damaged, the
pointer needs to be updated.
The QPainter based scene is the first to implement support for Buffers:
on creation a deep copy is performed, on damage the changed parts are
painted into the deep copy.
Move the buffer-swap-pending state from the compositing backends to
the Compositor class. The Compositor is the only class that needs to
access the state, and this way it to do it without calling through
a chain of virtual functions. This commit adds two new functions to
Compositor; aboutToSwapBuffers() and bufferSwapComplete(). The
backends call these functions to set and reset the buffer-swap-pending
state.
This commit also renames a number of functions and variables to make
their meaning clear.
The act of promoting the contents of the back buffer to become the
contents of the front buffer is referred to as posting the buffer,
presenting the buffer, or swapping the buffers; rendering the buffer
is what paintScreen() does.
Moved from wayland_backend.[h|cpp] to buffer.[h|cpp] and
shm_pool.[h|cpp]. Buffer is slightly adjusted to have the ShmPool
passed in as a ctor argument and the ctor is private and friended with
ShmPool, so that it can only be constructed from ShmPool.
A Surface class is split out which holds a wl_surface and supports
attaching a buffer, setting the damage and emitting a signal when the
frame callback got called.
It doesn't come with a unit test yet as it first needs the ShmPool
and Buffer properly split out to easily set it up.
Surprisingly the DecorationShadow is modelled after the Shadow in KWin.
It provides the same offsets and a QImage exactly like the OpenGL
implementation needs it. This makes it easy to hook it into our existing
Shadow implementation with only a few changes.
Shadow now first tries to create a Shadow from the Decoration and only
if that fails it tries the X11 property. The pixmaps are not initialized
for the DecorationShadow and because of that currently only the OpenGL
backend gets initialized for DecorationShadows. The other backends might
need adjustments and also a transition to just using one image.
The Renderer gets reparented to the Deleted. While passing it to
the Deleted the Scene's implementation can ensure that the buffers
are up to date. After passing to Deleted it's no longer allowed to
call the render method.
NOTE: this is not working completely yet, lots of code is still ifdefed
other parts are still broken.
The main difference for the new decoration API is that it is neither
QWidget nor QWindow based. It's just a QObject which processes input
events and has a paint method to render the decoration. This means all
the workarounds for the QWidget interception are removed. Also the paint
redirector is removed. Instead each compositor has now its own renderer
which can be optimized for the specific case. E.g. the OpenGL compositor
renders to a scratch image which gets copied into the combined texture,
the XRender compositor copies into the XPixmaps.
Input events are also changed. The events are composed into QMouseEvents
and passed through the decoration, which might accept them. If they are
not accpted we assume that it's a press on the decoration area allowing
us to resize/move the window. Input events are not completely working
yet, e.g. wheel events are not yet processed and double click on deco
is not yet working.
Overall KDecoration2 is way more stateful and KWin core needs more
adjustments for it. E.g. borders are allowed to be disabled at any time.
