Summary:
So far we didn't try to do high DPI on kwin internal windows, such as
the user context menu and tab bars and whatever.
Due to wayland scaling they were the correct phyiscal size but upscaled.
This patch fixes our QPA to enable Qt's high-dpi support.
BUG: 402853
Note icons are still low res. This is because the global
QGuiApplication::devicePixelRatio which is the max of all connected
screens is static for the duration of the app. QIcon uses this when
determining the DPR to use. This will require a Qt change.
Test Plan:
Ran at 2x on my normal DPI screen (as that's easier to see anything)
* User action menu is high DPI
* Window deco tooltips are still fine
* Tab switcher is high DPI
* Overlay in present windows Desktop grid are still ok

Summary:
The SceneOpenGLES test was starting to randomly crash on my system. On
investigation I observed that there was a graphics reset ("Attempting to
reset compositing.") which triggered a delayed restart of the
compositor. This even was only processed while waiting for XWayland to
terminate. Which resulted in a crash in KWin::getXServerVersion as the
xcb connection broke.
It makes no sense to setup the compositor again during application
shutdown. Thus the dtors set a flag that they are terminating the
application and Compositor::setup is checking for it.
Test Plan: Test no longer crashes, although it goes through the crashing path

Summary:
This command line option is useful for KWin in embedded use case. That
is when KWin is just used as a compositor for one application instead of
a complete desktop environment. In such a setup global shortcuts are not
wanted and interfere with the application. E.g. one does not want Alt+F4
to close the window, that would render the system unusable.
This change introduces a command line option and disables the following
event filters and spies:
* global shortcuts
* modifier only shortcuts
* terminate session
* virtual terminal switching
* screen edges
KGlobalAccel still gets inited, otherwise the (non-functional) binary
would be launched when KWin registers it's global shortcuts.
Test Plan:
New test added based on existing tests for the global
shortcuts, ctest passes

WaylandServer provides the initialization flag to disable lock screen

The no lock screen integration is useful for the embedded use case where
KWin is just used to render one application.

Summary:
Kwin tried to not use kcrash by not linking against it.
KIO now links against KCrash as we link against KIO we indirectly link
against KCrash and thus now link and launch kcrash on wayland. This
breaks coredump.
Arguably it should be fixed in KIO, but it's non-trivial.
The advantage of this approach is it allows us to enable drkonqi for
nested mode in the future, or make a non-gui drkonqi that just saves
logs.

Summary:
kwin_wayland now automatically chooses an appropriate backend, such as
DRM, nested wayland or nested X. If nested it will automatically go into
windowed mode regardless of whether --windowed is set and works fine.
Backend choosing logic existed duplicated in older code for kwin_wayland
--windowed, with the subtle unexpected difference that it preferred
running as an X client over running as a wayland cient if both are
present. This simplifies codes and syncs automatic resolution behaviour.
kwin_wayland --windowed with --x11-display or --wayland-display will
remain the same.
Test Plan:
Ran kwin_wayland with and without --windowed inside another wayland.
Got the same backend chosen
Tested that kwin_wayland (without --windowed) on an X machine worked just fine.

Summary:
KWin is not designed to run as root. It is not hardened enough and
there is a great risk that applications could attack KWin through
X11 properties, Wayland protocol requests, etc. to trigger stack or
heap overflows and execute random code. As clients connected to KWin
could be remote there is a great risk in running KWin as root. Also
clients on the same system but started as a different user could
try to gain more privs by exploiting KWin.
Furthermore KWin is designed to not run as root. It interacts with
logind to get the devices opened which would require root. Whether
KWin would work as root at all is questionable.
We cannot guarantee that running KWin as root is secure, thus this
change disallows running KWin and thus a Wayland session as root.

Once again KActivities causes a delay in the startup of KWin. This is
not the first time it happens, that has been a problem since the start
of the Wayland project.
In the past we added a compile time switch due to that and added a
runtime switch once it stoped freezing (20a9a2a247).
And now it broke again, so let's disable again.
KActivities doesn't make sense on Wayland anyway as there is no activity
support for Wayland windows. Once KActivities is able to be used without
freezing KWin on startup and being able to ensure that it won't break
again we can reenable. But I expect guarantees about that. This must be
ensured by proper autotest support to verify that in future usage of
KActivities in the display manager doesn't freeze it.
This is maintainer decision, due to that no pre-commit review.

Summary:
The SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK results in threads (not only processes) to have
the scheduling policy reset to default. This means that the libinput
thread is not real time, but this was actually intended.
To solve this problem KWin does start without the RESET_ON_FORK flag
during startup. Once createInput has been called the scheduling is
adjusted again and RESET_ON_FORK is added again. This results in the
libinput thread and all threads Qt starts in between (e.g. dbus) to gain
real time policy. But it is still not leaked to other processes or to
threads in KWin which don't need it.
Other options considered: just don't use RESET_ON_FORK and instead
manually reset on fork. This would mean all threads in KWin gain real
time, but we don't need this. It's only interesting for the main
(rendering, Wayland thread) and the input thread. Also the danger to
leak into another process is too high.
Keeping the capability till the libinput thread is created and adjust
the thread itself. This option was discarded as I don't want KWin to
have any capabilities when the QApplication is started.

Summary:
The base idea behind this change is to keep the system responsive no
matter what other processes do. All input and rendering needs to go
through the windowing system, so keeping it responsive is important.
Currently KWin competes with all other processes for resources and this
can render the system unusable. Consider some processes running amok. In
this case the user might not be able to easily close the applications as
KWin does not get the cpu time to perform the input tasks requested by
the user.
Or in the case of playing a demanding game it is important that KWin
gets scheduled to forward the pointer input events. The user doesn't
want that the game (or another process) wins against the windowing
sytem.
The disadvantage is that KWin always wins against other processes with
real time scheduling. This could result in KWin running amok stalling
the system. On the other hand this is no change to the current situation
as if KWin runs amok the sytem is unusable.
The change uses libcap to set CAP_SYS_NICE on kwin_wayland executable.
KWin_wayland on start sets the scheduling policy to SCHED_RR with the
lowest possible priority. Thus any other SCHED_RR process will win
against KWin. So real time processes are not affected by this change!
After adjusting the scheduling (which requires CAP_SYS_NICE) KWin drops
this capability again.
Test Plan:
Verified that KWin adjusts the scheduler, that it is not passed
to child processes, that the capability gets dropped and not passed to
child processes.

XWayland needs to create an eglDisplay for platform DRM. Depending on
the mesa version eglInitialize expects that the passed native display
is a Wayland display and crashes. This prevents KWin to startup.
This patch sets EGL_PLATFORM for Xwayland. This is actually not KWin's
job, but if it otherwise crashes it's better than nothing.
As Xwayland only supports DRM, it's fine to use this.
Summary:
The idea behind this mode is to support applications like spectacle
(see T4458). The calling application passes a file descriptor (created
through e.g. a pipe) and the screenshot effect writes the captured image
into that fd.
The advantage over the existing variant which writes to a file in the
/tmp directory is that this is peer-to-peer between the requesting
application and KWin. No other application can get to that image.
The change also includes setting SIGPIPE to ignore. It showed that when
the reading side already cancelled the read prior to KWin writing out
the image we get a SIGPIPE which results in application termination,
which is not what we want in case of a Wayland compositor. The sigpipe
can be ignored as Qt (and libpng) handles that error just fine at
runtime.

The idea is to have KWin provide a virtual keyboard. To support this
KWin uses the QT_IM_MODULE qtvirtualkeyboard and makes sure that the
QPA plugin loads it.
KWin has a new class VirtualKeyboard which acts as the focus object and
the "proxy" for input methods. The QPA plugin ensures that this is the
focusObject, so that all input method related events are sent to this
class. From there it will be possible to delegate to other applications
through the Wayland interfaces.

Summary:
Similar to[[ https://phabricator.kde.org/D1216 | D1216 ]] add procctl call to disable ptrace on FreeBSD.
We cannot do the procfs-lookup to check whether the process is already being run inside gdb -- however, on FreeBSD, we could use the P_TRACED flag of the process to figure this out:
> sys/proc.h:#define P_TRACED 0x00800 /* Debugged process being traced. */
And the code would look something similar to
```
pid_t pid = getpid();
struct procstat *prstat = procstat_open_sysctl();
struct kinfo_proc *procinfo;
unsigned int cnt;
procinfo = procstat_getprocs(prstat, KERN_PROC_PID, pid, &cnt);
long p_flags = procinfo->ki_flag;
int p_traced = p_flags & P_TRACED;
if (p_traced != P_TRACED) {
mode = PROC_TRACE_CTL_DISABLE;
procctl(P_PID, getpid(), PROC_TRACE_CTL, &mode);
}
procstat_freeprocs(prstat,procinfo);
procstat_close(prstat);
```
But as wayland is [far] in the future on FreeBSD, and that check above is a bit lengthy, I think it is enough if we add it once it is needed.

Similar drkonqi just doesn't work as it doesn't have a windowing

Also the AlternativeWM dialog doesn't make any sense on Wayland.
Similar thought: there is no windowing system to show this nice dialog.

CI system shows that on tear down an effect might call into Workspace
after it's destroyed. Unloading all effects prior to deleting Workspace
should(TM) fix that. Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce the problem
locally, so build.kde.org needs to verify.
So far if the Scene creation failed kwin_wayland went into a shutdown,
but didn't succeed because the thread to start Xwayland was already
running: it froze.
This change introduces a new signal in Compositor: sceneCreated. The
startup of Xwayland is bound to this signal. If it gets fired KWin can
startup Xwayland. If it does not get fired, KWin terminates correctly.
Summary:
This is the first change in a refactoring series. The aim is to:
* rename AbstractBackend to Platform
* move backends/ to plugins/platforms/
* don't bind platforms to Wayland only
* provide a platform plugin for "normal" X11
* share more code between X11 and Wayland
This change moves the platform/backend from waylandServer to Application.
The init of the plugin happens directly in the Application from the
KPluginMetaData. There is no need to externally init it and set the
parent.
WaylandServer::backend() currently just delegates to
kwinApp()->platform(), the idea is to drop this method completely.
The test infrastructure is also adjusted to this change.

In order to increase the security we disable ptrace on kwin_wayland.
This makes it impossible for a another process running as the same
user to attach to kwin_wayland to install a key logger. It doesn't
protect against higher privileged users, but that's no problem: they
can just read the input device file and don't need to attach to KWin
to become a key logger.
This change is highly inspired by a similar change to kscreenlocker.
A difference is that KWin checks whether we are running under a
debugger. In such a case we still want to allow ptrace.
This is similar to the applications to start. That is the value of the
command line argument is interpreted as a command to start.
The difference is that when this application exits, KWin will also quit.
The argument is so to say interpreted as a session.
