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.
Test Plan: Wayland nested and virtual backends.

Doxygen comments with this style look balanced and neat, but many people

This change switches doxygen comment style in KWin to a more traditional

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:
The NVIDIA implementation of glXSwapBuffers will, by default, queue up
to two frames for presentation before blocking. KWin's compositor,
however, assumes that calls to glXSwapBuffers will always block until
the next vblank when rendering double buffered. This assumption isn't
valid, as glXSwapBuffers is specified as being an implicit glFlush,
not an implicit glFinish, and so it isn't required to block. When this
assumption is violated, KWin's frame timing logic will
break. Specifically, there will be extraneous calls to
setCompositeTimer with a waitTime of 0 after the non-blocking buffer
swaps, dramatically reducing desktop responsiveness. To remedy this,
a call to glXWaitGL was added by Thomas Luebking after glXSwapBuffers
in 2015 (see bug 346275, commit
8bea96d701). That glXWaitGL call is
equivalent to a glFinish call in direct rendering, so it was a good
way to make glXSwapBuffers behave as though it implied a glFinish
call.
However, the NVIDIA driver will by default do a busy wait in glFinish,
for reduced latency. Therefore that change dramatically increased CPU
usage. GL_YIELD can be set to USLEEP (case insensitive) to change
the behavior and use usleep instead. When using the NVIDIA driver,
KWin will disable vsync entirely if GL_YIELD isn't set to USLEEP
(case sensitive, a bug in KWin).
However, the NVIDIA driver supports another environment variable,
__GL_MaxFramesAllowed, which can be used to control how many frames
may be queued by glXSwapBuffers. If this is set to 1 the function
will always block until retrace, in line with KWin's expectations.
This allows the now-unnecessary call to glXWaitGL to be removed along
with the logic to conditionally disable vsync, providing a better
experience on NVIDIA hardware.

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.

Summary:
This is meant to address Bug 372114. The problem here is that the KConfig
object (and its derivatives), that the freeze detection thread needs to
record the freeze, are not thread safe. When it happens that the main
thread is in fact not frozen, it is possible that the two stomp on each
other's KConfig object.
The solution applied here is to use the KSharedConfig::openConfig
function, which is thread safe, on the freeze detection thread. As was
mentioned by Martin Flöser in the discussion, the thread needs to obey
the name of the main config file of KWin, which can change in the future.
As a secondary issue, this patch also turns off KCrash reporting for
aborts due to a freeze being detected. IMO it is not very user friendly
to still show a crash report to the user, even after this bug is fixed,
for the deliberate SIGABRT. Maybe a less intrusive notification could be
used to tell the user why effects are suddenly disabled?
I've been using kwin with this change for several weeks now and it makes
the restarts of kwin due to freezes unobtrusive. However, most (I would
say almost all) of these freezes are actually instances where the system
is being slow after eg. screen resolution is changed.

This change is similar to D7232 and moves the scene_qpainter into a

The base implementation for this part used to be in scene_qpainter. As
the idea is to completly move it away from KWin core it would be point
less to still have the backend definition in KWin core, but it cannot
be in the scene plugin as otherwise all platforms need to link the
plugin.
To solve this a new platformsupport subdirectory is added which contains

standalone platform.
This change exposes a problem with timestamp handling: on Wayland the
X11 timestamp does not get updated at all, causing e.g. window sync not
work correctly (c.f. bug 374881). We cannot implement the updating in the
same way as QX11Info/Qt xcb platform does it as that would introduce a
blocking roundtrip to XWayland which is dangerous.
As a side-effect this change removes linking to Qt5::X11Extras in kwin
core as it's no longer needed.

Summary:
The overlay window is only needed for the X11 based compositors. Given
that it is better suited in the X11 platform. Unfortunately it is not
possible to completely move it into the platform plugin as it is still
referenced in KWin core (e.g. SceneXRender). Due to that the
OverlayWindow in KWin core is turned into a pure virtual class with the
implementation being moved into the plugin.
The platform API gains a new virtual factory method which is only
implemented in the X11 platform.

KWin already used C++14 constructs in a conditional way. This doesn't
make much sense today, it's better to just require C++14.
For KWin only gcc and clang are currently compilers of relevance. Gcc
supports C++14 since version 5 and defaults to C++14 since 6.1 [1].
Clang supports C++14 since version 3.4 [2].
An overview of compiler support in various distributions:
* Debian stable (stretch): gcc 6.3, clang 3.8
* Debian oldstable (jessie): 4.9, clang 3.5
* Ubuntu 17.04: gcc 6.1, clang 3.8
* Ubuntu 16.04: gcc 5.3, clang 3.8
* openSUSE Tumbleweed: gcc 7.1, clang 4.0
* openSUSE Leap 42.3: gcc ?, clang ? [3]
* FreeBSD: clang >= 34 in ports
* Slackware 14.2: gcc 5.3
This overview shows that every distro out there has at least one
supported compiler which can still compile KWin with this change.

KWin is terminating (no idea why, [1]) and at the same time the OpenGL freeze

Summary:
There is a regression in WindowBasedEdge::soStopApproaching. Due to
only operate when the edge activates for pointer it is possible that
the cursor polling stays active. Explaining the situation:
1. Activate switch desktop when moving window
2. Start moving a window
3. Move mouse into the approach geometry
-> doStartApproaching activates as we are moving a window
4. stop moving window
-> doStopApproaching early exits as the position does not activate for
pointer any more - we are not moving a window
-> cursor polling is still connected and whenever mouse enters edge
approaching is started
The analysis shows that the check whether activates for pointer is wrong
in the case of stop approaching. If the edge started to approach, we also
need to stop approaching.
This change addresses the problem by turning the check into whether the
connection for cursor position update is set.
This is the third bug fix to the X11 screen edge handling after
introducing touch screen edges. This needs more manual testing by
everybody in the Plasma team who is still using X11.

Summary:
To have touch events working we need to do memory layout changes on the
xcb events. This is fine for identifying the touch events which should
trigger the screen edge. But when passed on to Qt to have QtQuick windows
(e.g. Alt+Tab) handle the touch events, this results in a problem:
Qt itself does also the memory movement and then the movement is double
and touch events break.
To prevent this problem an RAII class is added which moves the memory in
the ctor and moves it back in the dtor. So during KWin's processing it
has the right memory layout and later on in Qt's processing it has the
proper "wrong" layout which Qt can fix again.

Another regression from enabling touch support on X11.
The approach window for pointer input gets unmapped as soon as the mouse
enters the window. This ensures that mouse motion events are not stolen
from other applications. But with the touch events we did not even react
on the enter event if it's not activated for pointer. The result was an
area around the screenedge being blocked for pointer input.
This change only creates and maps the approach window if the edge is
activated for pointer input.

Each Edge creates a SwipeGesture for touch activation. The swipe needs to
be a single finger starting from the edge into the screen for at least
20 %. The SwipeGesture and GestureRecognizer is extended to support the
use cases of the touch screen edge swipe.
New features supported by the gesture system are:
* minimum and maximum position
* a minimum delta for the swipe
* progress signal based on the minimum delta
* starting a swipe with a start point
The Edge has the progress signal connected to its approach signal, thus
visual feedback is provided through the screen edge effect.
The screen edge system supports touch only for the edges (corners are
too difficult to activate on touch screens). At the moment the following
features are supported:
* screen edge show/raise of windows (e.g. auto hidden panels)
* trigger the configured action
* trigger the configured callback function (e.g. script)
In future it might make sense to add a touch specific configuration
action to support different actions for screen edges activated by mouse
and touch.

Summary:
The functionality regarding triggering modifier only shortcuts is moved
out of Xkb - where it doesn't belong to - and is turned into an input
event spy listening for the changes it is interested in. Previously
the state got queried by asking e.g. for the pressed buttons, now it's
tracked directly.
The X11 side needs a larger change due to that as now pushing the events
into Xkb does not trigger modifier only shortcuts any more. Instead the
"normal" way through the platform API needs to be used which triggers the
processing of filters and spies.
The problem here is that our redirections only process events if they are
inited and that only happens on Wayland. We cannot call init on them as
that would create all the Wayland filters and spies and processing would
probably break. As an intermediate solution the spies are now processed
and there we know that it won't matter. A future solution would be to
remove the init checks completely and just send through both filters and
spies and ensure that on X11 only the supported ones are loaded.

Summary:
Instead of having the egl extensions in the global kwinglutils lib it
becomes private to the AbstractEglBackend. Just like on glx the
glxextensions are moved into the platform.
The extensions are queried from initEglAPI, that is as early as possible
after initializing the EGLDisplay. This ensures that any implementing
subclass can access the extensions early enough.
As a note: the EglOnXBackend had a potentially wrong sequence for
initializing the buffer age extension. It is now moved to the correct
place where the result is needed for the first time.
From the global API eglExtensions are removed from hasGLExtension and
the eglExtensions function is dropped. As by that initEGL did not do
anything it is also dropped.

Summary:
A new virtual method is added to Platform:
startInteractiveWindowSelection
The interactive window selection enters a mode where the user can select
a window through the pointer or keyboard device. The cursor is turned
into a crosshair cursor, unless another cursor name is provided (e.g.
pirate for kill window).
Once a window is selected the provided callback method is invoked with
the selected Toplevel as argument. In case the user cancelled the
selection a nullptr argument is passed in.
Currently it's only implemented by the X11 standalone platform using the
logic from KillWindow. Just instead of killing the window the callback
is invoked.
KillWindow loses the X11 implementation and interacts with the new
functionality in Platform by providing a lambda function for the
killing.

Summary:
KWin still resolves some OpenGL function pointers. For that it needs to
use either eglGetProcAddress or glxGetProcAddress. With other words the
method to resolve needs to know whether it is egl or glx and needs both
a dependency to egl and glx. Especially the dependency to glx is ugly as
that pulls in XLib into our library.
The way so far was to pass an enum value to the initGL method to know
whether it's EGL or GLX. With this change the enum value is removed and
replaced by a function pointer to resolve the methods.
This simplifies the resolve code and allows to completely remove the glx
variant we still had in the library. Thus kwinglutils library is now glx
and XLib free.

Summary:
With nouveau driver it can happen that KWin gets frozen when first trying
to render with OpenGL. This results in a freeze of the complete desktop
as the compositor is non functional.
Our OpenGL breakage detection is only able to detect crashes, but not
freezes. This change improves it by also added a freeze protection.
In the PreInit stage a thread is started with a QTimer of 15 sec. If the
timer fires, qFatal is triggered to terminate KWin. This can only happen
if the creation of the OpenGL compositor takes longer than said 15 sec.
In the PostInit stage the timer gets deleted and the thread stopeed
again.
Thus if a freeze is detected the OpenGL unsafe protection is written into
the config. KWin aborts and gets restarted by DrKonqui. The new KWin
instance will no longer try to activate the freezing OpenGL as the
protection is set.
If KWin doesn't freeze the protection is removed from the config as
we are used to.
Check for freezes for the first n frames, not just the first
This patch changes the freeze detection code to detect freezes in the
first 30 frames (by default, users can change that with the
KWIN_MAX_FRAMES_TESTED environment variable). This detects
successfully the freezes associated to nouveau drivers

There are several effects (screenshot, zoom) which need access to the
cursor image and cursor hotspot. So far these effects used X11
unconditionally to get the cursor which obviously does not work on
Wayland.
This change adds a new class PlatformCursorImage to kwinglobals which
wraps what a cursor is (image and hotspot) and adds a new virtual method
to Platform to provide such a PlatformCursorImage. By default it's the
cursor image the Platform tracks. On X11/standalone platform this new
virtual method is overriden and provides a PlatformCursorImage from X11
using the code previously used in screenshot effect.
Screenshot effect and zoom are adjusted to use the new API instead of
X11.

Summary:
The modifier-only-shortcuts break as soon as KWin grabs the keyboard
(e.g. alt+tab, present windows, etc.). The investigation shows that in
that case KWin does not get any raw key events any more and thus gets
confused about the state of the hold modifiers. E.g. alt+tab has the
alt key pressed, but we miss the release as the keyboard is grabbed.
This change addresses the problem by installing an additional event
filter for key press and release event which only filters for key events
on the root window. That way we can be sure that it only operates when
KWin grabbed the keyboard on the root window.
Note: the problem only exists when grabbing on the root window. If the
grab is on another window (e.g. moving a window) we still do get all
events.
The problem also seems to not happen if another application grabbed
keys on the root window. E.g. for key combinations grabbed by
kglobalaccel the correct sequence of key press/release as raw events
are reported. Also while the screen is locked the evemts are reported
and kscreenlocker grabs the keyboard on the root window.

Summary:
The raw pointer button events intercepted in the XInput2 input filter
get sent through the Platform to the PointerInputRedirection. This
makes the PointerInputRedirection track the pointer button state and
emit the signals for button changed and axis changed.
These signals are used by the modifier-only shortcut detection to
determine whether the shortcut should trigger.
On X11 the "normal" input handling doesn't use the InputRedirection
and the emitted signals are not consumed by anything else. As
PointerInputRedirection is not inited the events are not forwarded
to the input filter, thus won't be processed by other parts and
won't interfere with the normal event processing on X11.
Given that it also doesn't matter that the input filter does not
apply the left-handed setting. The internal tracking will have a
wrong mouse button, but nothing is going to do decisions based on
the value of the pressed mouse button. For the moment all we are
interested in is that a button is pressed.

BUG: 367730
At the same time the xinput2 integration is split out of X11Cursor
and made a standalone part of the platform plugin. XInput integration
is nowadays not only used by the cursor position polling, but also
for modifier only shortcuts.
By splitting it out the modifier shortcuts start to work also when
one doesn't have anything requesting a mouse position polling.
This also simplifies the conditional builds: xinput integration is
only included if we have support for it at compile time without having
to have many ifdefs in the cursor implementation. For the inclusion of
cursor in the kcmkwin this also removes all the ifdefs.
The key events are only requested if we have xinput 2.1. Otherwise we
would not get all raw events if the input device gets grabbed.

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.

If the event processing is started before everything is fully started
it can happen that we have "evil" events which may crash either Xwayland
or KWin itself. E.g. if the nested window is too large, the window
manager on the host X-Server will request a resize. If the backend does
that it can happen that the wl_output gets destroyed while Xwayland tries
to bind to it and will crash. Thus let's delay all events till we are
ready to process them.
