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.
Summary:
Currently code base of kwin can be viewed as two pieces. One is very
ancient, and the other one is more modern, which uses new C++ features.
The main problem with the ancient code is that it was written before
C++11 era. So, no override or final keywords, lambdas, etc.
Quite recently, KDE compiler settings were changed to show a warning if
a virtual method has missing override keyword. As you might have already
guessed, this fired back at us because of that ancient code. We had
about 500 new compiler warnings.
A "solution" was proposed to that problem - disable -Wno-suggest-override
and the other similar warning for clang. It's hard to call a solution
because those warnings are disabled not only for the old code, but also
for new. This is not what we want!
The main argument for not actually fixing the problem was that git
history will be screwed as well because of human factor. While good git
history is a very important thing, we should not go crazy about it and
block every change that somehow alters git history. git blame allows to
specify starting revision for a reason.
The other argument (human factor) can be easily solved by using tools
such as clang-tidy. clang-tidy is a clang-based linter for C++. It can
be used for various things, e.g. fixing coding style(e.g. add missing
braces to if statements, readability-braces-around-statements check),
or in our case add missing override keywords.
Test Plan: Compiles.

Summary:
At the moment it's broken for many of the laptops I've seen, this opens the possibility to start toying with them. The right fix would be to get the kernel to emit the right signals but I'm afraid for some hardware it will be close to impossible.
This includes a kconfig variable variable that will detect it as follows: if there's a touchscreen, when the touchpad gets removed we are on tablet mode (i.e. the pointing will be done using the finger), when it's connected back tablet mode will be restored.

Summary:
expose in the libinput wrapper a property that tells whether
a tablet mode switch input device is present on the machine,
expose it trough dbus
Test Plan:
still not complete, I need a way to either access the connection
from TabletModeManager or setting to TabletModeManager from input.cpp

Summary:
depends from D9521
listens to switch events and updates the tablet mode status
which is exposed to dbus in the org.kde.KWin.TabletModeManager
interface
Test Plan:
as hardware support is limited, testing of clients
so far is done by the setter in the dbus property,
which should be removed from the final version.
It has been tested to successfully work on a Thinkpad.
