If a cursor animation is driven purely by frame callbacks and kwin
uses hardware cursors, the cpu usage may spike to 100%.
This change addresses that issue by sending frame callbacks after a
compositing cycle has been performed.
The main advantage of SPDX license identifiers over the traditional
license headers is that it's more difficult to overlook inappropriate
licenses for kwin, for example GPL 3. We also don't have to copy a
lot of boilerplate text.
In order to create this change, I ran licensedigger -r -c from the
toplevel source directory.
If the Xwayland process crashes, it will bring down the entire session
together with itself. Obviously, we don't want that. At least, Wayland
clients should survive the crash.
This change refactors relevant X11 parts to handle Xwayland crashes in a
less fatal way.
In order to handle Xwayland crashes better, a pair of start() and stop()
methods had been introduced in the Xwayland class to allow starting and
stopping the Xwayland process at any moment.
If we detect that the Xwayland process has crashed, we will immediately
stop the Xwayland server, which in its turn will deactivate the socket
notifier and destroy all connected X11 clients. Unfortunately, a couple
of subtle changes in X11Client::releaseWindow() and Unmanaged::release()
had to be made to ensure that we are left with a valid state after the
Xwayland server has been stopped.
Summary:
On X11, Workspace stores windows in two lists. One with desktop windows
and the other one with all other windows. On Wayland, desktop windows
and normal windows are stored in the same list - m_allClients.
In order to unify scripting on X11 and Wayland, this change makes the
Workspace class store X11 desktop windows and normal X11 windows in the
same list. It's the responsibility of scripts to filter desktop windows.

Summary:
The GLX backend might need a combination of swap and composite timer events for
continous painting.
The reason for that is that if the buffer age extension is not available we
fall back to copies in case not the whole screen is repainted.
The timer logic is adapted to make this possible in a lean way what cleans up
the Compositor class in several ways.

After paint in case we have swap events the buffer swap should be pending.
This is not always the case with the X11 standalone plugin what needs to be
investigated some more. This is for now a quick fix to make sessions work
again without failing on the assert.
Summary:
When the compositor is stopped there might still be a buffer swap ongoing, in
particular when a client blocks compositing on X11.
Depending on the backend the next buffer swap event might be handled in
bufferSwapComplete (Wayland) or not be handled (X11 GLX, since a new
GLX window will be created while the swap event is sent for the old one).
With this patch the buffer swap state is reset on stop such that on later
start no outdated data might create errors and instead a new repaint can be
triggered with updated data.

This reverts commit 754b72d155.
In order to make the fix work, we need to redirect the client window
instead of the frame window. However, we cannot to do that because
Xwayland expects the toplevel window(in our case, the frame window)
to be redirected.
Another solution to the texture bleeding issue must be found.
CCBUG: 257566
CCBUG: 360549
Summary:
Since KDE 4.2 - 4.3 times, KWin doesn't paint window decorations on real
X11 windows, except when compositing is turned off. This leaves us with
a problem. The actual client contents is inside a larger texture with no
useful pixel data around it. This and decoration texture bleeding are
the main factors that contribute to 1px gap between the server-side
decoration and client contents with effects such as wobbly windows, and
zoom.
Another problem with naming frame pixmap instead of client pixmap is
that it doesn't quite go along with wayland. It only makes more difficult
to abstract window quad generation in the scene.
Since we don't actually need the frame window when compositing is on,
there is nothing that holds us from redirecting client windows instead
of frame windows. This will help us to fix the texture bleeding issue
and also help us with the ongoing redesign of the scene.
Test Plan: X11 clients are still composited.

Summary:
Qt has its own thing where a type might also have corresponding list
alias, e.g. QObject and QObjectList, QWidget and QWidgetList. I don't
know why Qt does that, maybe for some historical reasons, but what
matters is that we copy this pattern here in KWin. While this pattern
might be useful with some long list types, for example
QList<QWeakPointer<TabBoxClient>> TabBoxClientList
in general, it causes more harm than good. For example, we've got two
new client types, do we need corresponding list typedefs for them? If
no, why do we have ClientList and so on?
Another problem with these typedefs is that you need to include utils.h
header in order to use them. A better way to handle such things is to
just forward declare a client class (if that's possible) and use it
directly with QList or QVector. This way translation units don't get
"bloated" with utils.h stuff for no apparent reason.
So, in order to make code more consistent and easier to follow, this
change drops some of our custom typedefs. Namely ConstClientList,
ClientList, DeletedList, UnmanagedList, ToplevelList, and GroupList.
Test Plan: Compiles.

Summary:
Compositing in X11 was done time shifted, meaning that we paint first, then
wait one vblank interval length and present on prepareRenderingFrame the
previous paint result. This is supposed to make sure we don't miss the vblank
and in case of block till retrace be able to continue issuing commands and
only shortly before next vblank present.
This is counter-intuitiv, not how we do it on Wayland or even on MESA with X.
The reason seems to be that the GLX backend was in the beginning written
against Nvidia proprietary driver which needed this but nowadays even this
driver defaults to non-blocking behavior on buffer swap.
Therefore remove this legacy anomaly fully and directly present after paint.
We then wait one refresh cycle and in the future can optimize this by delaying
the paint and present till shortly before vsync.
Test Plan: kwin_x11 tested on i915 and Nvidia proprietary driver.

Summary:
Selecting not to vsync does not make sense for an X11 compositor. In the end
we want clients to be able to present async if they want to but the compositor
is supposed to send swaps with vsync to the XServer in order to not generate
tearing artifacts.
There was also a detection logic which did some questionable things in case
vsync was not available. I don't think this is necessary at all since we can
just always run a timer to present with or without vsync.

Summary:
Currently each managed X11 client is represented with an instance of
Client class, however the name of that class is very generic and the
only reason why it's called that way is because historically kwin
was created as an x11 window manager, so "Client" was a sensible choice.
With introduction of wayland support, things had changed and therefore
Client needs to be renamed to X11Client in order to better reflect what
that class stands for.
Renaming of Client to X11Client was agreed upon during the last KWin

Summary:
So far wayland was used by internal clients to submit raster buffers
and position themselves on the screen. While we didn't have issues with
submitting raster buffers, there were some problems with positioning
task switchers. Mostly, because we had effectively two paths that may
alter geometry.
A better approach to deal with internal clients is to let our QPA use
kwin core api directly. This way we can eliminate unnecessary roundtrips
as well make geometry handling much easier and comprehensible.
The last missing piece is shadows. Both Plasma::Dialog and Breeze widget
style use platform-specific APIs to set and unset shadows. We need to
add shadows API to KWindowSystem. Even though some internal clients lack
drop-shadows at the moment, I don't consider it to be a blocker. We can
add shadows back later on.

Summary:
Any call made to a virtual method in constructor/destructor of a base
class won't go to a derived class because the base class may access
uninitialized or destroyed resources.
For example, let's consider the following two classes
class Base {
public:
Base() { foo()->bar(); }
virtual ~Base() { foo()->bar(); }
virtual Foo* foo() const { return nullptr; }
};
class Derived : public Base {
public:
Derived() : mFoo(new Foo) {}
~Derived() override { delete mFoo; }
Foo* foo() const override { return mFoo; }
private:
Foo* mFoo;
};
When an instance of Derived class is created, constructors will run in
the following order:
Base()
Derived()
It's not safe to dispatch foo() method call to Derived class because
constructor of Derived hasn't initialized yet mFoo.
Same story with destructors, they'll run in the following order:
~Derived()
~Base()
It's not safe to dispatch foo() method call in the destructor of Base
class to Derived class because mFoo was deleted.
So, what does that weird C++ behavior has something to do with KWin? Well,
recently Compositor class was split into two classes - WaylandCompositor,
and X11Compositor. Some functionality from X11 doesn't make sense on
Wayland. Therefore methods that implement that stuff were "purified," i.e.
they became pure virtual methods. Unfortunately, when Compositor tears
down it may call pure virtual methods on itself. Given that those calls
cannot be dispatched to X11Compositor or WaylandCompositor, the only
choice that C++ runtime has is to throw an exception.
The fix for this very delicate problem is very simple - do not call virtual
methods from constructors and the destructor. Avoid doing that if you can!
This change moves Compositor::updateClientCompositeBlocking to X11Compositor
so it longer has to be a virtual method. Also, it kind of doesn't make sense
to keep it in base Compositor class because compositing can be blocked only
on X11.
