Summary:
EffectQuickView/Scene is a convenient class to render a QtQuick
scenegraph into an effect.
Current methods (such as present windows) involve creating an underlying
platform window which is expensive, causes a headache to filter out
again in the rest of the code, and only works as an overlay.
The new class exposes things more natively to an effect where we don't
mess with real windows, we can perform the painting anywhere in the view
and we don't have issues with hiding/closing.
QtQuick has both software and hardware accelerated modes, and kwin also
has 3 render backends. Every combination is supported.
* When used in OpenGL mode for both, we render into an FBO export the
texture ID then it's up to the effect to render that into a scene.
* When using software QtQuick rendering we blit into an image, upload
that into a KWinGLTexture which serves as an abstraction layer and
render that into the scene.
* When using GL for QtQuick and XRender/QPainter in kwin everything is
rendered into the internal FBO, blit and exported as an image.
* When using software rendering for both an image gets passed directly.
Mouse and keyboard events can be forwarded, only if the effect
intercepts them.
The class is meant to be generic enough that we can remove all the
QtQuick code from Aurorae.
The intention is also to replace EffectFrameImpl using this backend and
we can kill all of the EffectFrame code throughout the scenes.
The close button in present windows will also be ported to this,
simplifiying that code base.
Classes that handle the rendering and handling QML are intentionally
split so that in the future we can have a declarative effects API create
overlays from within the same context. Similar to how one can
instantiate windows from a typical QML scene.
Notes:
I don't like how I pass the kwin GL context from the backends into the
effect, but I need something that works with the library separation. It
also currently has wayland problem if I create a QOpenGLContext before
the QPA is set up with a scene - but I don't have anything better?
I know for the EffectFrame we need an API to push things through the
effects stack to handle blur/invert etc. Will deal with that when we
port the EffectFrame.

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.

So far we were following a bit unique and rare doxygen comment style:
/**
* Contents of the comment.
**/
Doxygen comments with this style look balanced and neat, but many people
that contribute to KWin don't follow this style. Instead, they prefer
more traditional doxygen comment style, i.e.
/**
* Contents of the comment.
*/
Reviewing such changes has been a bit frustrating for me (so selfish!)
and for other contributors.
This change switches doxygen comment style in KWin to a more traditional
style. The main reason for doing this is to make code review process easier
for new contributors as well us.

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.

213239a0ea tried to address the case when
a wayland client gets shadow after it was mapped, but because of poor
testing from my side, another bug was introduced. If a decoration tooltip
or the user actions popup is shown, then in some cases it can be blank.
Usually, SurfaceInterface::shadowChanged proceeds SurfaceInterface::sizeChanged,
so when the shadow is installed, window quads cache is rebuilt. But
because shell client already knows the geometry of the internal client,
goemetryShapeChanged is not emitted, thus the cache is not updated.
It would be better just to invalidate the cache when the shadow is
installed, uninstalled, or updated. This reduces the number of
unnecessary invocations of Scene::Window::buildQuads and also moves
handling of the window quads cache away from the Shadow class.

Summary:
Under wayland we support high DPI putting by putting a separation
between the logical co-ordinate system and the resolution of rendered
assets.
When a window is on a high DPI screen, we should render at the higher
resolution.
Like the window scaling this handles any combination of a 2x scaled
decoration being rendered on a 1x screen or vice versa.
---
This patch is a bit different from the other scaling stuff. We have to
generate the quads *before* we have an updated texture with the new
scale. This means the scale isn't attached to the buffer like elsewhere.
That's why I added a property in TopLevel so there's still one canonical
source and things can't get out of sync.

Needed by testing of QPainter scene to access the back buffer. Exposed
as a virtual method in Scene, so that the test does not have to cast to
SceneQPainter.
Summary:
First step for loading the compositor Scenes through plugins. The general
idea is that we currently needlessly pull in all the Scenes although only
one will be used.
E.g. on X11 we pull in QPainter, although they are not compatible. On
Wayland we pull in XRender although they are not compatible.
Furthermore our current Scene creation strategy is not really fault
tolerant and can create situations where we don't get a compositor. E.g
on fbdev backend the default settings won't work as it does not support
OpenGL.
Long term I want to tackle those conceptional problems together:
we try to load all plugins supported by the current platform till we have
a scene which works. Thus on Wayland we don't end up in a situation where
we don't have a working compositor because the configuration is bad.
To make this possible the switch statement in the Scene needs to go and
needs to be replaced by a for loop iterating over all the available
scenes on the platform. If we go there it makes sense to replace it
directly with a plugin based approach.
So this is a change which tackles the problem by first introducing the
plugin loading. The xrender based scene (as it's the most simple one)
is moved into a plugin. It is first tried to find a scene plugin and only
if there is none the existing code is used.
Test Plan: Tested all scenes

Summary:
A new method to tell the effects system whether the compositor scene
is able to drive animations. E.g. on software emulation (llvmpipe) it's
better to not do any animations at all.
This information can be used by effects to adjust their behavior, e.g.
PresentWindows could skip transitions or effects can use it in their
supported check to completely disable themselves.
As a first step all scripted effects are considered to be unsupported
if animations are not supported. They inherit AnimationEffect and are
all about driving animations.
The information whether animations are supported comes from the Scene.
It's implemented in the following way:
* XRender: animations are always supported
* QPainter: animations are never supported
* OpenGL: animations are supported, except for software emulation
In addition - for easier testing - there is a new env variable
KWIN_EFFECTS_FORCE_ANIMATIONS to overwrite the selection.

Summary:
Rational: unredirect fullscreen windows is a weird beast. It's intended
to make fullscreen windows "faster" by not compositing that screen. But
that doesn't really work as KWin jumps out of that condition pretty
quickly. E.g. whenever a tooltip window is shown. KWin itself has a
better functionality by supporting to block compositing completely.
The complete code was full of hacks around it to try to ensure that
things don't break.
Overall unredirect fullscreen has always been the odd one. We had it
because a compositor needs to have it, but it never got truly integrated.
E.g. effects don't interact with it properly so that some things randomly
work, others don't. Will it trigger the screenedge, probably yes, but
will it show the highlight: properly no.
By removing the functionality we finally acknowledge that this mode is
not maintained and has not been maintained for years and that we do not
intend to support it better in future. Over the years we tried to make
it more and more hidden: it's disabled for Intel GPUs, because it used
to crash KWin. It's marked as an "expert" option, etc.
It's clearly something we tried to hide from the user that it exists.
For Wayland the whole unredirect infrastructure doesn't make sense
either. There is no such thing as "unredirecting". We might make use
of passing buffers directly to the underlying stack, but that will be
done automatically when we know it can be done, not by some magic is
this a window of specific size.

Compiles, cannot really test as I am an Intel user who never
had that working.

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)

This change introduces a tree for WindowPixmap. A WindowPixmap can
have a parent WindowPixmap and children. Each child represents a
SubSurface and references the buffer of that SubSurface.
The tree of WindowPixmaps is updated each time updateBuffer is called.
If there are new SubSurfaces new WindowPixmaps are created, for removed
SubSurfaces the old WindowPixmap gets removed. Also the ordering is
updated to reflect the current state.
This is currently rather expensive and should be changed to only rebuild
the tree if it actually changed.
The screen projection matrix is needed if an effect wants to customize
the modelview projection matrix while rendering a window and keeping
the currently applied screen projection and transformation.
With this change a new ctor overload is added to ScreenPaintData
which allows passing a projection matrix through the effects. This
allows effects to put up custom shaders with a shared projection matrix
and without having to calculate it themselves.
The projection matrix is a read-only information for the effects. There
is no way to change or overwrite it.
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.
This change introduces a mechanism for internal windows to be rendered
to a QOpenGLFramebufferObject to be composited using the texture bound
to the FBO. This is useful for in-process rendering (e.g. QtQuick) and
at the same time bypassing the windowing system.
The OpenGL context of the QOpenGLFramebufferObject needs to be sharing
with the compositing OpenGL context.
EglWaylandBackend gains support for creating textures from a
BufferInterface. At the same time it loses the possibility to use
the Xcb shm extension to load the texture. That is Xwayland is
required.
In order to support it in a better way the WindowPixmap is passed
to the Texture for loading and updating. Which is then passed to the
backend specific implementation.
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.
Create and import X sync fences into GL and use them to synchronize
the kwin command stream with the X command stream.
This prevents damaged windows from being composited by kwin before
the rendering that triggered the damage events have finished on
the GPU.

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.
Only the X based Scenes need an overlay window, so the Compositor doesn't
need to check for it in the Wayland case.
OverlayWindow is moved from OpenGLBackend to the sub classes which need
to provide it.
The egl wayland backend registers for the callback for a rendered frame.
This allows to throttle KWin's compositor so that we don't render frames
which wouldn't end up on the screen.
For this the Scene provides a method to query whether the last frame got
rendered. By default this returns true in all backends. The Egl Wayland
backend returns true or false depending on whether the callback for the
last frame was recieved.
In case the last frame has not been renderd when performCompositing is
tried to be called, the method returns just like in the case when the
overlay window is not visible. Once the frame callback has been recieved
performCompositing is invoked again.
The pure virtual methods windowAdded, windowClosed, windowDeleted and
windowGeometryShapeChanged had identical implementations in both XRender
and OpenGL scene. They were accessing the hash with Scene::Windows which
is nowhere else used except for creating the stacking order in ::paint.
The implementations are moved to the base class, the only Scene specific
code is a pure virtual factory method to create the Scene window. This
already existed in SceneOpenGL to create either a SceneOpenGL1 or 2
window.
Also the hash of windows is a Scene private member now and the creation
of the stacking order is provided by a method, so that the Scene sub
classes do no longer need to access the stacking order at all.
REVIEW: 111207
Instead of having the Shadow factory method check the compositor type and
do the decision which Shadow sub class to create, a pure virtual method in
Scene is called which returns the specific Shadow sub class instance.
Instead of having the EffectFrameImpl check the compositor type and do
the decision which Scene::EffectFrame to create, a pure virtual method
in Scene is called which returns the specific Scene::EffectFrame.
With QtQuick2 it's possible that the scene graph rendering context either
lives in an own thread or uses the main GUI thread. In the latter case
it's the same thread as our compositing OpenGL context lives in. This
means our basic assumption that between two rendering passes the context
stays current does not hold.
The code already ensured that before we start a rendering pass the
context is made current, but there are many more possible cases. If we
use OpenGL in areas not triggered by the rendering loop but in response
to other events the context needs to be made current. This includes the
loading and unloading of effects (some effects use OpenGL in the static
effect check, in the ctor and dtor), background loading of texture data,
lazy loading after first usage invoked by shortcut, etc. etc.
To properly handle these cases new methods are added to EffectsHandler
to make the compositing OpenGL context current. These calls delegate down
into the scene. On non-OpenGL scenes they are noop, but on OpenGL they go
into the backend and make the context current. In addition they ensure
that Qt doesn't think that it's QOpenGLContext is current by calling
doneCurrent() on the QOpenGLContext::currentContext(). This unfortunately
causes an additional call to makeCurrent with a null context, but there
is no other way to tell Qt - it doesn't notice when a different context
is made current with low level API calls. In the multi-threaded
architecture this doesn't matter as ::currentContext() returns null.
A short evaluation showed that a transition to QOpenGLContext doesn't
seem feasible. Qt only supports either GLX or EGL while KWin supports
both and when entering the transition phase for Wayland, it would become
extremely tricky if our native platform is X11, but we want a Wayland
EGL context. A future solution might be to have a "KWin-QPA plugin" which
uses either xcb or Wayland and hides everything from Qt.
The API documentation is extended to describe when the effects-framework
ensures that an OpenGL context is current. The effects are changed to
make the context current in cases where it's not guaranteed. This has
been done by looking for creation or deletion of GLTextures and Shaders.
If there are other OpenGL usages outside the rendering loop, ctor/dtor
this needs to be changed, too.
AbstractThumbnailItem inherits from QQuickPaintedItem using QPainter to
do the fallback painting of icons.
The scene is adjusted to get the information from QQuickItem instead of
QDeclarativeItem. Clipping got a little bit more complex as the clip
path does not exist any more. To get it right the ThumbnailItem needs to
specify the parent it wants to be clipped to with the clipTo property.
E.g.:
clipTo: listView
The scene uses this clipTo parent item to correctly calculate the clip
region. Also the ThumbnailItem needs to have clipping enabled.
Note: this commit currently breaks TabBox as the qml and view are not
yet adjusted. In scripting the export of the item is disabled, but any
qml script using a ThumbnailItem would obviously also fail.
Cross fading with previous pixmap is achieved by referencing the old
window pixmap. WindowPaintData has a cross-fade-factor which interpolates
between 0.0 (completely old pixmap) to 1.0 (completely new pixmap).
If a cross fading factor is set and a previous pixmap is valid this one
is rendered on top of the current pixmap with opacity adjusted. This
results in a smoother fading.
To simplify the setup the AnimationEffect is extended and also takes care
about correctly (un)referencing the previous window pixmap. The maximize
effect is adjusted to make use of this new capabilities.
Unfortunately this setup has a huge problem with the case that the window
decoration gets smaller (e.g. from normal to maximized state). In this
situation it can happen that the old window is rendered with parts outside
the content resulting in video garbage being shown. To prevent this a set
of new WindowQuads is generated with normalized texture coordinates in
the safe area which contains real content.
For OpenGL2Window a PreviousContentLeaf is added which is only set up in
case the crass fading factor is set.

The behavior for creating a pixmap for a window is moved from Toplevel
into a dedicated class WindowPixmap. Scene::Window holds a reference to
this class and creates a new WindowPixmap whenever the pixmap needs to be
discarded. In addition it also keeps the old WindowPixmap around for the
case that creating the new pixmap fails. The compositor can in that case
use the previous pixmap which reduces possible flickering. Also this
referencing can be used to improve transition effects like the maximize
windows effect which would benefit from starting with the old pixmap.
For XRender and OpenGL a dedicated sub-class of the WindowPixmap is
created which provides the additional mapping to an XRender picture and
OpenGL texture respectively.

Add an option to kcmcompositing in the 'Advanced' tab, to enable or
disable color correction. It is specified that it's experimental and it
needs Kolor Manager.
Before painting for a particular screen, ColorCorrection::setupForOutput
should be called.
A screen property is added for WindowPaintData.
In kwinglutils, The fragment shaders are intercepted before being
compiled and they get a couple of lines of code inserted in order to do
the color correction. This happens only when color correction is enabled, of
course.
For D-Bus communication with KolorServer, everything is async.
The implementation basically manages a set of color lookup tables for
different outputs and for different window regions. These are taken via
D-Bus. Each lookup table has around 700 KB.
This commit reintroduces the changes from the former merge with the
"color2" branch. In this form, it can be easily reverted.

Replace dynamic_casts to check the type for for Toplevel by isFoo()
calls and use static_casts in such blocks.
Furthermore method shape() returns now a constant reference instead of a
copy of the QRegion.

The handling for creating and managing the OpenGL context is
split out of the SceneOpenGL into the abstract OpenGLBackend
and it's two subclasses GlxBackend and EglOnXBackend.
The backends take care of creating the OpenGL context on the
windowing system, e.g. on glx an OpenGL context on the overlay
window is created and in the egl case an EGL context is created.
This means that the SceneOpenGL itself does not have to care
about the specific underlying infrastructure.
Furthermore the backend provides the Textures for the specific
texture from pixmap operations. For that in each of the backend
files an additional subclass of the TexturePrivate is defined.
These subclasses hold the EglImage and GLXPixmap respectively.
The backend is able to create such a private texture and for
that the ctor of the Texture is changed to take the backend as
a parameter and the Scene provides a factory method for
creating Textures. To make this work inside Window the Textures
are now hold as pointers which seems a better choice anyway as
to the member functions pointers are passed.
The Scene has always been created and destroyed inside what is
now the split out compositor. Which means it is actually owned
by the Compositor. The static pointer has never been needed
inside KWin core. Access to the Scene is not required for the
Window Manager. The only real usage is in the EffectsHandlerImpl
and in utils.h to provide a convenient way to figure out whether
compositing is currently active (scene != NULL).
The EffectsHandlerImpl gets also created by the Compositor after
the Scene is created and gets deleted just before the Scene gets
deleted. This allows to inject the Scene into the EffectsHandlerImpl
to resolve the static access in this class.
The convenient way to access the compositing() in utils.h had
to go. To provide the same feature the Compositor provides a
hasScene() access which has the same behavior as the old method.
In order to keep the code changes small in Workspace and Toplevel
a new method compositing() is defined which properly resolves
the state. A disadvantage is that this can no longer be inlined
and consists of several method calls and pointer checks.
The implementation consists of a class in libkwineffects.
There are some slight modifications in the compositor. Regions for
different outputs are drawn at different times.
Currently only per output color correction is implemented. However, the
grounds are prepared for implementing per window color correction
easily.
The ColorCorrection class needs to communicate via D-Bus with a KDED
module, KolorServer, which is a part of KolorManager.
The only visible part for the user consists of a check box in the
advanced tab for the compositing KCM.
The actual correction is done by injecting a piece of code in the
fragment shader, code that does a 3D lookup into a special color lookup
texture. The data for these textures is obtained from KolorServer. All
D-Bus calls are async.
The LanczosFilter has a FBO in screen size. When the screen
geometry changes this FBO has to be recreated. To go completely
sure the lanczos filter gets deleted on screen changes.
To achieve this the LanczosFilter is wrapped inside a
QWeakPointer so that we can track when it got deleted. This
brings an additional advantage by delaying the creation of the
shader till it is really needed, that is when for the first
time a window thumbnail with lanczos is rendered.

So far we have not used the information that damage events are window-specific, resulting in the
behavior that we repainted the damaged area although it might be hidden behind another window.
E.g. the CPU-Monitor plasmoid is almost all day occluded by a browser etc. and before this patch
we have been repainting the appropiate area every time the plasmoid has been updated.
Thx to Thomas Lübking for optimizing the patch.

This commit just makes the declaration of windowClosed() in Class Scene be a Q_SLOT.
The inheriting classes SceneOpenGL and SceneXRender are updated as well.
The method windowGeometryShapeChanged() from the class Scene is now a slot. It is now connected to the signal geometryShapeChanged() which is sent from Toplevel instances Client and Unmanaged.
All direct method calls were deleted.
The method windowOpacityChanged is now a protected slot in class Scene. The implementations in the subclasses SceneOpenGL and SceneXRender are the same. The slots are connected to the singal opacityChanged() from Toplevel. The connection is done in the method windowAdded() in both SceneOpenGL and SceneXRender.
The class Scene now inherits from QObject and has the Q_OBJECT macro. The inheriting classes SceneOpenGL and SceneXRender are provided with the Q_OBJECT macro. Now it is possible to use signals and slots and replace direct method calls.
Removes the last bits of the self-check at compositing startup.
It seems like they were only added to XRender because they were
in OpenGL and there they are not available for quite some time.
Also removes the now obsolete disable functionality checks from UI.

The Shadow is clearly an aspect of the compositor. Therefore the
Shadow has to be owned and controlled by the Scene::Window.
Nevertheless Toplevel needs to know about the Shadow cause of reading
the property.

This allows an effect to fade between old and new text/icon. As an example it's added to CoverSwitch.
Currently only supported in OpenGL. XRender might be added, but I'm missing an idea for an effect to add it.
Most effects using EffectFrame require OpenGL anyway.

It is not always required to do a full repaint in each frame. E.g. in sliding popups the repaint areas are known and tracked.
This change reduces the painting overhead to just the window area.
Nevertheless I consider this change as experimental and will revert the commit in case it introduces rendering glitches.
Other effects which are good candidates for this flag is wobbly windows, magic lamp, minimize or in general all effects which transform just one window.
