Plasma Mobile announced that they plan to drop support for Halium
devices, see the announcement blog post [1] for the reasons that led to
such a decision.
But just to summarize, here are some of the key points from the post:
* Some of our team members no longer have access to reference LG Nexus
5X device anymore
* After KDE Neon switched to using Ubuntu 20.04 we no longer are
updating the rootfs for halium devices
* After several important architecture changes in upstream KWin, the
hwcomposer backend might be broken and we have no way of verifying it
If the community members are interested in reviving the hwcomposer
backend,
* it pretty much needs rewrite/re-thinking given differences of hwc1
and hwc2 API for hwcomposer part of it, see also [2]
* It also needs removal of Android 5 based libhardware API as we don't
think code can be kept sane with 3 different levels of ifdefs
* This backend needs better way of fixing difference between
CAF/non-CAF devices then just recompiling with different headers,
maybe env vars?
* This backend does not support various things like transformation/
rotation etc, and is not exactly feature complete as the DRM backend

Right now when kwin exits, the user is taken directly back to the login
screen. The login session exits, so all processes then are killed by the
session.
This patchset introduces a mechanism to safely restart kwin. The socket
(typically wayland-0) remains alive and persistent across restarts. This
means if any process reconnects through it's own mechanism or a crash
restart handler the socket appears to work, and blocks until the new
kwin restarts.
This makes it secure and race free.
If the screen was locked at the time kwin went down, this is also
secure. Kwin now checks the status from logind at the time of launch, so
will immediately restore a locked state before any other rendering.
This change introduces a new component - ColorManager that is
responsible for color management stuff.
At the moment, it's very naive. It is useful only for updating gamma
ramps. But in the future, it will be extended with more CMS-related
features.
The ColorManager depends on lcms2 library. This is an optional
dependency. If lcms2 is not installed, the color manager won't be built.
This also fixes the issue where colord and nightcolor overwrite each
other's gamma ramps. With this change, the ColorManager will resolve the
conflict between two.
A plugin may need to access kwinApp() or kwinApp()->platform() during
tear down, but the problem is that plugins are destroyed after the
kwinApp() object. The plugin manager must be destroyed explicitly while
the application is still valid to ensure that no crash will occur
during compositor teardown.
The scripting api is not suitable for implementing all features that
should not be implemented in libkwin. For example, the krunner
integration or screencasting are the things that don't belong to be
compiled right into kwin and yet we don't have any other choice.
This change introduces a quick and dirty plugin infrastructure that
can be used to implement things such as colord integration, krunner
integration, etc.
Without the KWindowSystem integration plugin, Wayland experience will be
negatively affected because windows created by kwin itself won't behave
as desired. Therefore it makes little sense to load this plugin at runtime.
On wayland, we know we're always going to load our internal QPA. Instead
of shipping a plugin and loading it dynamically we can use Qt static
plugins.
This should result in slightly faster load times, but also reduce the
number of moving pieces for kwin.
This also prevents anyone outside kwin loading our QPA which wouldn't
have made any sense and just crashed.
VirtualKeyboard class does not implement the relevant VirtualKeyboard
protocol but rather implements the InputMethod protcol and can in theory
be used by other input method like e.g. ibus.
Make class name consistent with what it does to avoid confusion in
future.
For now only rename of main class is done and dbus service is kept as-is
to provide retro-compatibility, when input method protocol is
implemented fully, we can think of what to do wrt the dbus interface
later when we fully implement zwp_input_method_unstable_v1 protocol.
If the Xwayland executable can't be found, the whole session will die
because a criticalError() signal will be emitted.
This change replaces the criticalError() signal with a less severe
signal.
If the errorOccurred() signal has been emitted during the startup
sequence, kwin won't die and will just continue with spawning the
session process.
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.
Sub-classes of the AbstractClient class need a valid instance of the
Workspace class to function as desired. We should not create xdg-shell
clients until the workspace is created.
The new signal is emitted when the Application has fully been initialized.
It allows us to change the startup sequence, for example create workspace
before starting the Xwayland server, without making any adjustments in our
test suit.
The bug reporter presents a use case of wanting to run a game and scale
down the result.
For everyone else kwin_wayland nested is just a test tool, so I don't
see any disadvantages.
It could be useful in testing.

Summary:
When ShellClient tears down, it needs to access RuleBook in order to
discard temporary rules. The problem is that WaylandServer outlives
Workspace and therefore so does ShellClient.
We can't guard against the case when RuleBook::self() is nullptr as it
is vital to discard temporary rules.
This change adjusts termination sequence so all shell clients are
destroyed before Workspace(and thus RuleBook) is gone.

Summary:
In a recent patch the newly added xwayland class ended up being
responsible for continuing the startup, calling back into the main app
to spawn the workspace.
It moves the flow of startup about so it's not very readable or
following class structure.
This patch moves the code back into main_wayland and removes the
duplication between xwayland and non-xwayland modes.
There was also a misnaming of methods.
Previously:
continueStartupWithScreens was called after platform screens are created
continueStartupWithScene was called after the scene was created
continueStartupWithXwayland was called before xwayland is created
This was confusing, so the names have been shuffled around to follow a
consistent pattern of what has been done so far.
Test Plan:
Started kwin_wayland in normal and xwayland mode
Ran unit tests (though some failed due to a local unrelated and as yet unindentified bug)

Summary:
In this patch an infrastructure is created to represent generic X selections
in a Wayland session and use them for data transfers between Xwayland windows
and Wayland native clients.
The central manager is the DataBridge class, in which Selection objects can be
created. This is hard-coded and such a Selection object persists until the end
of the session, so no arbitrary selections can be created on the fly. For now
the X Clipboard selection is supported, whose corresponding mechanism in the
Wayland protocol is just called Selection.
A Selection object listens for selection owner changes on the X side and for
similar events into the Wayland server interfaces. If a data provider is
available a selection source object is created by the Selection object. In case
data is requested on the other side, a data transfer is initialized by creating
a Transfer object. A Selection keeps track of all transfers and makes sure that
they are destroyed when they are finished or in case they idle because of
misbehaving clients.
The Clipboard class translates the X Clipboard via a proxy window. Selection
changes on the Wayland side are listened to through a new signal on the active
KWayland seat interface.
The previously used X clipboard syncer helper is disabled. The clipboard sync
autotest is changed to the new mechanism.

This is a direct preparation step for generic support of Xwayland Selections.
On a longer timescale this should also allow us to further separate Wayland
native functionality from Xwayland to allow us at one point to build KWin's
Wayland binary optionally without X dependencies. Another long term goal, that
becomes possible through this separation is to recover from Xwayland crashes.

Due to wayland scaling they were the correct phyiscal size but upscaled.
This patch fixes our QPA to enable Qt's high-dpi support.

Note icons are still low res. This is because the global
QGuiApplication::devicePixelRatio which is the max of all connected
screens is static for the duration of the app. QIcon uses this when
determining the DPR to use. This will require a Qt change.

Summary:
The SceneOpenGLES test was starting to randomly crash on my system. On
investigation I observed that there was a graphics reset ("Attempting to
reset compositing.") which triggered a delayed restart of the
compositor. This even was only processed while waiting for XWayland to
terminate. Which resulted in a crash in KWin::getXServerVersion as the
xcb connection broke.
It makes no sense to setup the compositor again during application
shutdown. Thus the dtors set a flag that they are terminating the
application and Compositor::setup is checking for it.

This command line option is useful for KWin in embedded use case. That
is when KWin is just used as a compositor for one application instead of
a complete desktop environment. In such a setup global shortcuts are not
wanted and interfere with the application. E.g. one does not want Alt+F4
to close the window, that would render the system unusable.
This change introduces a command line option and disables the following
event filters and spies:
* global shortcuts
* modifier only shortcuts
* terminate session
* virtual terminal switching
* screen edges
KGlobalAccel still gets inited, otherwise the (non-functional) binary
would be launched when KWin registers it's global shortcuts.

Backend choosing logic existed duplicated in older code for kwin_wayland
--windowed, with the subtle unexpected difference that it preferred
running as an X client over running as a wayland cient if both are

KWin is not designed to run as root. It is not hardened enough and
there is a great risk that applications could attack KWin through
X11 properties, Wayland protocol requests, etc. to trigger stack or
heap overflows and execute random code. As clients connected to KWin
could be remote there is a great risk in running KWin as root. Also
clients on the same system but started as a different user could
try to gain more privs by exploiting KWin.
Furthermore KWin is designed to not run as root. It interacts with
logind to get the devices opened which would require root. Whether
KWin would work as root at all is questionable.
We cannot guarantee that running KWin as root is secure, thus this
change disallows running KWin and thus a Wayland session as root.
