Due to being a compositor, kwin has to conform to some certain
interfaces. It means a lot of virtual functions and function tables to
integrate with C APIs. Naturally, we not always want to use every
argument in such functions.
Since we get -Wunused-parameter from -Wall, we have to plumb those
unused arguments in order to suppress compiler warnings at the moment.
However, I don't think that extra work is worth it. We cannot change or
alter prototypes in any way to fix the warning the desired way. Q_UNUSED
and similar macros are not good indicators of whether an argument is
used too, we tend to overlook putting or removing those macros. I've
also noticed that Q_UNUSED are not used to guide us with the removal no
longer needed parameters.
Therefore, I think it's worth adding -Wno-unused-parameter compiler
option to stop the compiler producing warnings about unused parameters.
It changes nothing except that we don't need to put Q_UNUSED anymore,
which can be really cumbersome sometimes. Note that it doesn't affect
unused variables, you'll still get a -Wunused-variable compiler warning
if a variable is unused.
Client-side wrappers for input-method-unstable-v1 fail to build because
wl_keyboard_interface is referenced in the header file generated by
wayland-scanner.
Unfortunately, qt6_generate_wayland_protocol_client_sources() forces
--include-core-only argument, this is addressed in Qt 6.4.1, but in
meanwhile let's ship a copy of Qt6WaylandClientMacros.cmake file until
the required Qt version is out.
In libinput 1.19, three new pointer axis events were added in order to
provide support for high-resolution scrolling.
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_AXIS is de-facto deprecated and new users of
libinput should use instead SCROLL_WHEEL, SCROLL_FINGER, and
SCROLL_CONTINUOUS.
Discrete deltas were replaced with v120 delta values. 120 corresponds to
a single discrete delta. Smaller values correspond to "partial" wheel
ticks.

At the moment, the keyboard interception code in the effects system
relies on Qt code processing key events. However, since QDesktopWidget
is removed in Qt 6, this is a blocker for Qt 6 port.
This change ports the X11 backend to private xkb keymap as indicates in
the todo comment. It allows us to drop the last QDesktopWidget usage.
It needs [1] from plasma-wayland-protocols.git or fails with
"outputmanagement_v2_interface.cpp:214:50: error:
'error_already_applied' was not declared in this scope" otherwise.

This class can be used to create an anonymous file, for instance
to pass data between compositor and clients, through means of a
file descriptor, as is done in various Wayland protocols, notably
the keymap exchange.
It also implements sealing the file, so that it can be shared
between multiple clients without them being able to modify it.
If supported, memfd_create is used, otherwise a `QTemporaryFile`
is used.

The current code has multiple index-based for loops iterating over items we get from XCB
Dealing with raw indices is error-prone and not pretty
By using std::span we can replace these loops with range-based for loops
Also remove some intermediate containers that aren't neccesary
We assume that outputs in kwinApp()->platform()->enabledOutputs() are
stored in the xinerama order. However, this is not the case on Wayland
and it's not going to be changed because it increases the complexity.
This change makes Workspace::xineramaIndexToOutput() use Xinerama
extension API to map a xinerama index to the associated Output object.
With this, Xwayland applications will be able to put on outputs as
expected.
Note that xinerama indices are not cached because
Workspace::xineramaIndexToOutput() is not used in any hot code path. If
that changes, xinerama indices can be cached. The cache must be
invalidated whenever we get screens changed notify event from RANDR.
It seems it doesn't bring much and it may backfire. Especially don't
pass GBM_BO_USE_LINEAR as it will limit a lot the buffers that can be
created and GBM_BO_USE_RENDERING use seems to be more harmful than
helpful on most cases.
This makes KWin switch to in-tree copy of KWaylandServer codebase.
KWaylandServer namespace has been left as is. It will be addressed later
by renaming classes in order to fit in the KWin namespace.
When we do more color management stuff we'll need it in more places,
making it a hard requirement reduces the amount of needed ifdefs and
should make adding color management features a little simpler.
Allows removing some CMake checks config-kwin.h contents. This is
supported by all compilers and required for C++17. While touching those
lines I also cleaned up an unnecessary HAVE_UNISTD_H check (glibc always
has it and and incorrect use of HAVE_SYS_PROCCTL_H.
fbdev has been deprecated and unmaintained for a while. With Linux 5.14
including SimpleDRM driver, we can drop it. (at the time of writing this
commit message, the latest Linux version is 5.16).
kwin disables ptrace for a good reason - to prevent other processes from
attaching to kwin and snooping sensitive data or taking control of kwin.
But, that will also make things such as memory statistics unavailable to
read, etc.
On the other hand, the supported platforms where kwin runs all have
security measures in places to forbid shady processes ptrace'ing kwin.
For example, on Linux it's YAMA.
On Linux, by default, a process can ptrace only its descendants. For
example, this can be used by debuggers; otherwise you would need to be
the superuser to attach to any process.
This change drops our ptrace logic in favor of system provided security
measures. It allows the System Monitor to gather kwin's memory usage
statistics and also simplifies code, the current debugger detection
logic is not really robust.
If the system provided security measures are proven to be insufficient,
we can add the ptrace disabling logic back, but it would be great to
avoid that because system monitor won't be able to gather resource usage
statistics, which can be useful for detecting memory leaks in plasma
wayland session, etc.
Notifications are really only useful in a setting with a full
shell environment where there is a notification center to display them.

The ifdefs for have_gbm obfuscate the code unnecessarily - the drm backend
is not a great experience with qpainter, so in practice noone should ship
it without gbm anyways.
The proprietary NVidia driver now supports gbm, which vastly improves the
user experience. For older devices that will not get gbm support dropping
EglStreams will likely not have a big impact as it has several session breaking
issues anyways.
By removing the backend a lot of logic can be simplified, most notably multi-gpu.
I just got a build failure because I hadn't updated KDecoration to
include 195bcf36df.
Bump the minimum version to trigger a CMake error instead of a
compilation failure. Since we expect to be using the same version of
KDecoration as KWin, this change uses ${PROJECT_VERSION} as the minimum
version.
The Xrender backend was added at the time when OpenGL drivers were not
particularly stable. Nowadays though, it's a totally different situation.
The OpenGL render backend has been the default one for many years. It's
quite stable, and it allows implementing many advanced features that
other render backends don't.
Many features are not tested with it during the development cycle; the
only time when it is noticed is when changes in other parts of kwin break
the build in the xrender backend. Effectively, the xrender backend is
unmaintained nowadays.
Given that the xrender backend is effectively unmaintained and our focus
being shifted towards wayland, this change drops the xrender backend in
favor of the opengl backend.
Besides being de-facto unmaintained, another issue is that QtQuick does
not support and most likely will never support the Xrender API. This
poses a problem as we want thumbnail items to be natively integrated in
the qtquick scene graph.
As is, kwin with the drm backend results in the most pleasant user
experience on Wayland. Given that and the fbdev being about to be
dropped, making libdrm a required dependency seems a reasonable decision.

At the moment, the session code is far from being extensible. If we
decide to add support for libseatd, it will be a challenging task with
the current design of session management code. The goal of this
refactoring is to fix that.
Another motivation behind this change is to prepare session related code
for upstreaming to kwayland-server where it belongs.
-listen <fd> option is deprecated in favor of the -listenfd option. This
change makes kwin query whether Xwayland supports the -listenfd option
at build time. If the pkg-config file is missing, we'll use the old listen
option.
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.
Plasma-workspace currently starts kwin_wayland before afterwards
continuing to spawn the full session, through whatever mechanism.
We ultimately want to just have systemd manage everything all at once,
but this was not realised in time for 5.21 due to a problem of
propogating environment variables.
By removing this file we go to a working state with the option enabled,
and can build on it for the next release.
