The compositing timing algorithm assumes that glXSwapBuffers() and
eglSwapBuffers() block. While this was true long time ago with NVIDIA
drivers, nowadays, it's not the case. The NVIDIA driver queues
several buffers in advance and if the application runs out of them,
it will block. With Mesa driver, swapping buffer was never blocking.
This change makes the render backends swap buffers right after ending
a compositing cycle. This may potentially block, but it shouldn't be
an issue with modern drivers. In case it gets proven, we can move
glXSwapBuffers() and eglSwapBuffers() in a separate thread.
Note that this change breaks the compositing timing algorithm, but
it's already sort of broken with Mesa drivers.
Since the Screens class is a convenience wrapper around AbstractOutput
objects that come from the Platform, it should not be platform-specific.
By dropping createScreens(), output-related code becomes simpler.
These signals can be useful if you want to know what output exactly has
been disabled or enabled.
The outputEnabled signal is emitted after the outputAdded signal, and
the outputDisabled signal is emitted before the outputRemoved signal.
At the moment, the gbm_device for the primary device is destroyed before
the EGLDisplay is destroyed. This results in a crash in Mesa.
In order to fix the crash, this change ensures that the EGLDisplay is
destroyed before the gbm device.
Currently, the OpenGLBackend and the QPainterBackend have hooks to
indicate the start and the end of compositing cycle, but in both cases,
the hooks have different names. This change fixes that inconsistency.
In order to allow per screen rendering, we need the Compositor to be
able to drive rendering on each screen. Currently, it's not possible
because Scene::paint() paints all screen.
With this change, the Compositor will be able to ask the Scene to paint
only a screen with the specific id.
At the moment, despite the protocol supporting it, we were not feeding
the EDIDs. KScreen was falling back to the output name so it didn't fail
horribly but it's still a good idea to provide all the data.
When dragging files on the desktop, the cursor image might be just too
big for the cursor plane, in which case we need to abandon hardware
cursors for a brief moment and use a software cursor. Once the files
have been dropped and the cursor image is small enough, we can go back
to using hw cursors.
BUG: 424589
Every time Platform::supportsQpaContext() is called, we go through the
list of supported extensions and perform a string comparison op. This is
not really cheap.
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:
AbstractOutput::name() behaviour is changed so that it matches the X11
behaviour, showing an identifier like "HDMI-0".
XdgOutput.name is set to this name.
XdgOutput.description is currently set to the manufacturer name and
model, but it's not exposed to Qt so we probably don't care too much.
This should fix plasmashell changing applets when switching between X11
and wayland.
Test Plan:

We have lots of inconsistency at the moment in CMakeLists.txt files. Most
of it is due to kwin being a very old project. This change hopefully fixes
all of it.
Summary:
Make it more explicit what the relation is between Wayland and XDG objects
existing and enablement:
The ouput is enabled if and only if Wayland and XDG output objects exist.
We can simplify the code by replacing checks on the outputs with checking
the current enablement value.

backends of a Wayland session have been ported to using the internal functions
of AbstractWaylandOutput's for managing outputs.
This removes the alternative code path used before in these backends, what
simplifies the code and is also a prerequisite to removing the Screens global
in the future.

Summary:
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.
Test Plan: Compiles.

Summary:
On Wayland we cannot switch from OpenGL to QPainter compositor as this
would break any running OpenGL application. KWin registers it's
EGLDisplay to Wayland and without OpenGL this doesn't make sense any
more. We are not able to render OpenGL buffers in the QPainter
compositor.
While it's theoretically possible to switch from QPainter to OpenGL it
doesn't make any sense for the same reason. Any running OpenGL
application would be using llvmpipe and could not be switched to proper
OpenGL.
This change stores the selected compositing type in Platform and the
implementations can use it to restrict the supported compositors. On X11
we don't need this, all other Platforms implement the restriction. Thus
it's no longer possible to switch the backends at runtime.
Test Plan:
Adjusted tests run, no runtime test as gui doesn't support
switching to QPainter anyway.
