The main motivation behind this change is to prepare input abstractions
for virtual input devices so the wl_seat can properly advertise caps or
the cursor getting properly mapped/unmapped when a fake pointer is
added/removed on a system without a hardware mouse connected.
With this, there are three abstractions - InputDevice, InputBackend, and
InputRedirection.
An InputDevice represents an input device such as a mouse, a keyboard, a
tablet, etc. The InputBackend class notifies the InputRedirection about
(dis-)connected devices. The InputRedirection manages the input devices.
Such design allows to unify the event flow for real and virtual input
devices.
There can be several input backends active. For example, the libinput
backend and an input backend that provides virtual input devices, e.g.
libeis or org_kde_kwin_fake_input.
Whether relative pointers are supported doesn't depend on the input
backend. This change moves the instantiation of the extension to the
WaylandServer class to make code more consistent.
With the LEDs enum being defined in kwinglobals.h, wayland_server.h
won't need to include keyboard_input.h, which is good for compilation
times and wayland_server.h will drag less stuff, e.g. QtWidgets (input.h
includes QAction)
Xwayland will re-create the wl_surface object if the X11 window is
unmapped and mapped. That, and the fact that the order in which the
WL_SURFACE_ID client message event is received and the wl_surface object
is created is undefined can cause the following bug:
* WL_SURFACE_ID is received
* the old wl_surface object is destroyed, m_surfaceId is reset to 0
* new wl_surface is created but because m_surfaceId is 0, it won't be
associated with the x11 window
This change ensures that kwin will associate the wl_surface with x11
window by making it not reset cached surface id when the old wl_surface
is destroyed.
However, we cannot leave m_surfaceId as is because wayland aggressively
re-uses object ids so kwin can associate wrong surface with x11 window.
To prevent that, this change also makes Toplevel::setSurface() reset
cached surface id.

toplevel.h is included in many places. Changing virtualdesktops.h may
trigger rebuild of all kwin.
With this change, only cpp files that use virtualdesktops.h will need to
be recompiled.
When the last output gets disconnected, create a virtual output as a
placeholder until we have access to a physical output again. While
this placecholder never gets rendered to, with virtual outputs in
general that is possible (with gbm and qpainter atm) and can be done
for future use cases like wireless displays.

The main motivation behind the split is to simplify client buffer code
and allow adding new features easier, for example referencing the shm
pool when a shm buffer is destroyed, or monitoring for readable linux
dmabuf file descriptors, etc.
Also, a referenced ClientBuffer cannot be destroyed, unlike the old
BufferInterface.
The internal EventQueue is a child of the registry object. This means
that after the registry is destroyed, all proxy objects in that event
queue are going to have invalid reference to it, which is not a problem
as long as the wl_display_dispatch() function is not called.
The wl_display_dispatch() function uses wl_proxy's queue reference to
enqueue incoming events to that queue.
Unfortunately, during teardown, the internal ConnectionThread may
dispatch events right after the registry object has been destroyed,
which can lead to a crash.
In order to fix the crash, we need to destroy all proxy objects and only
after that we can destroy the event queue. It's okay if wayland events
are dispatched in between.
Currently, output properties are looked up either on the wl_output
object or the output device object. This puts a hard dependency on the
wayland server in the platforms.
This change intends to fix some flaws in the current output
abstractions, and allow creating/destroying wayland-specific globals as
we wish.
With the work done in this patch, the need for the AbstractWaylandOutput
class is unclear, and it might be a good idea to merge it with the base
AbstractOutput class.
Once in a while, we receive complaints from other fellow KDE developers
about the file organization of kwin. This change addresses some of those
complaints by moving all of source code in a separate directory, src/,
thus making the project structure more traditional. Things such as tests
are kept in their own toplevel directories.
This change may wreak havoc on merge requests that add new files to kwin,
but if a patch modifies an already existing file, git should be smart
enough to figure out that the file has been relocated.
We may potentially split the src/ directory further to make navigating
the source code easier, but hopefully this is good enough already.
