The virtual backend uses the surfaceless platform. On the other hand, we
move in a direction where the graphics buffer type is explicit, which
creates issues for the virtual backend.
This change ports the virtual backend to gbm so we could manually
allocate dmabuf buffers in order to unify buffer handling in kwin.
Its main drawback is that you won't be able to use the virtual backend
on setups without render nodes. On the other hand, given that the
compositor is meaningless without clients being able to share buffers
with it, it's reasonable to require some way to create and export prime
buffers.
Use input device specific apis to change the position of the cursor. The
main reason to do so is to break the assumption that Cursor position is
the same as pointer position, which I would like to rely on later to
merge tablet and pointer cursors.
We use the PMF syntax so the isValid() check is unnecessary as the
compiler will notify about wrong signal at compile time. It makes
writing autotests feel less boilerplaty.
Things such as Output, InputDevice and so on are made to be
multi-purpose. In order to make this separation more clear, this change
moves that code in the core directory. Some things still link to the
abstraction level above (kwin), they can be tackled in future refactors.
Ideally code in core/ should depend either on other code in core/ or
system libs.
This change adjusts the window management abstractions in kwin for the
drm backend providing more than just "desktop" outputs.
Besides that, it has other potential benefits - for example, the
Workspace could start managing allocation of the placeholder output by
itself, thus leading to some simplifications in the drm backend. Another
is that it lets us move wayland code from the drm backend.
AbstractOutput is not so Abstract and it's common to avoid the word
"Abstract" in class names as it doesn't contribute any new information.
It also significantly reduces the line width in some places.
The .clang-format file is based on the one in ECM except the following
style options:
- AlwaysBreakBeforeMultilineStrings
- BinPackArguments
- BinPackParameters
- ColumnLimit
- BreakBeforeBraces
- KeepEmptyLinesAtTheStartOfBlocks
The main idea behind the render backend is to decouple low level bits
from scenes. The end goal is to make the render backend provide render
targets where the scene can render.
Design-wise, such a split is more flexible than the current state, for
example we could start experimenting with using qtquick (assuming that
the legacy scene is properly encapsulated) or creating multiple scenes,
for example for each output layer, etc.
So far, the RenderBackend class only contains one getter, more stuff will
be moved from the Scene as it makes sense.
Active output is a window management concept. It indicates what output
new windows have to be placed on if they have no output hint. So
Workspace seems to be a better place for it than the Screens class, which
is obsolete.
Window management features were written with synchronous geometry
updates in mind. Currently, this poses a big problem on Wayland because
geometry updates are done in asynchronous fashion there.
At the moment, geometry is updated in a so called pseudo-asynchronous
fashion, meaning that the frame geometry will be reset to the old value
once geometry updates are unblocked. The main drawback of this approach
is that it is too error prone, the data flow is hard to comprehend, etc.
It is worth noting that there is already a machinery to perform async
geometry which is used during interactive move/resize operations.
This change extends the move/resize geometry usage beyond interactive
move/resize to make asynchronous geometry updates less error prone and
easier to comprehend.
With the proposed solution, all geometry updates must be done on the
move/resize geometry first. After that, the new geometry is passed on to
the Client-specific implementation of moveResizeInternal().
To be more specific, the frameGeometry() returns the current frame
geometry, it is primarily useful only to the scene. If you want to move
or resize a window, you need to use moveResizeGeometry() because it
corresponds to the last requested frame geometry.
It is worth noting that the moveResizeGeometry() returns the desired
bounding geometry. The client may commit the xdg_toplevel surface with a
slightly smaller window geometry, for example to enforce a specific
aspect ratio. The client is not allowed to resize beyond the size as
indicated in moveResizeGeometry().
The data flow is very simple: moveResize() updates the move/resize
geometry and calls the client-specific implementation of the
moveResizeInternal() method. Based on whether a configure event is
needed, moveResizeInternal() will update the frameGeometry() either
immediately or after the client commits a new buffer.
Unfortunately, both the compositor and xdg-shell clients try to update
the window geometry. It means that it's possible to have conflicts
between the two. With this change, the compositor's move resize geometry
will be synced only if there are no pending configure events, meaning
that the user doesn't try to resize the window.
When debugging modifier_only_shortcut_test in _waylandonly mode I saw
that it was failing, among other things, because some aspects were not
initialised.
This changes every test we have to run the new
Test::initWaylandWorkspace() that calls waylandServer()->initWorkspace()
but also makes sure that WaylandServer::initialized is emitted before we
proceed.
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.
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.
Summary:
As is KWin only had 1 Cursor which was a singleton. This made it impossible for
us to properly implement the tablet (as in drawing tablets) support and show where
we're drawing.
This patch makes it possible to have different Cursors in KWin, it makes all the
current code still follow the mouse but the tablet can still render a cursor.
Test Plan: Tests pass, been using it and works as well as before but with beautiful tablet cursors.

Summary:
Currently, we have only one shell client type - XdgShellClient. We use
it when we are dealing with Wayland clients. But it isn't really a good
idea because we may need to support shell surfaces other than xdg-shell
ones, for example input panel surfaces.
In order to make kwin more extensible, this change replaces all usages
of the XdgShellClient class with the AbstractClient class.
Test Plan: Existing tests pass.

Summary:
In order to properly implement xdg_surface.set_window_geometry we need
two kinds of geometry - frame and buffer. The frame geometry specifies
visible bounds of the client on the screen, excluding client-side drop
shadows. The buffer geometry specifies rectangle on the screen that the
attached buffer or x11 pixmap occupies on the screen.
This change renames the geometry property to frameGeometry in order to
reflect the new meaning assigned to it as well to make it easier to
differentiate between frame geometry and buffer geometry in the future.

Summary:
Currently each managed X11 client is represented with an instance of
Client class, however the name of that class is very generic and the
only reason why it's called that way is because historically kwin
was created as an x11 window manager, so "Client" was a sensible choice.
With introduction of wayland support, things had changed and therefore
Client needs to be renamed to X11Client in order to better reflect what
that class stands for.
Renaming of Client to X11Client was agreed upon during the last KWin
sprint.
Test Plan: Compiles, the test suite is still green.

Summary:
Create output devices in virtual backend. For that the setVirtualOutputs call
can only come after the Wayland server has been initiliazied such that the
display exists to create the output and output device interfaces. Tests have
been adjusted for that.
Test Plan:
```
98% tests passed, 3 tests failed out of 148
Total Test time (real) = 362.97 sec
The following tests FAILED:
33 - kwin-testInternalWindow (Failed)
39 - kwin-testPointerInput (Failed)
101 - kwin-testMoveResize (Failed)
```
Failing of these tests looks unrelated to the change.

Summary:
If KWin fails to start the Wayland server due to XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not
being set, kwin_wayland should terminate with an error condition but
not crash.
This change makes sure that KWin detects that the Wayland server does
not work and terminates the startup early and ensures that it doesn't
crash while going down.
An error message is shown that we could not create the Wayland server.
Test Plan:
Test case added which verifies that WaylandServer fails to
init. Manual testing that kwin_wayland exits with error 1.

Summary:
A new namespace KWin::Test is added which provides a few helper
functions. It makes it easy to setup a KWayland client connection with
the base set to be able to create a Surface and flags to create
additional interfaces. This replaces the KWayland connection dance in
init() methods. For cleanup() there is also a dedicated helper function.
In addition there are helper functions to:
* render a surface
* create a surface
* create a shell surface
* flush the wayland client connection
* access to the created interfaces - for compatibility with existing code
The idea is to extend this Test library also for other common use cases
like creating an X11 connection and X11 windows, etc.
