Summary:
If KWin/Wayland starts up with the QPainter compositor we force software
rendering in QtQuick. It doesn't make sense to try to use the OpenGL
renderer as that normally just results in an abort when trying to create
the QOpenGLContext.
Test Plan:
Run KWin with KWIN_COMPOSE=Q, tried to quick tile a window and
used Alt+Tab. Worked fine, didn't crash anymore.

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.

Summary:
This change refactors the way how the cursor position on a screen is
calculated. It is changed to a matrix multiplication with the
adjustments for the rotated screen just being additional steps added to
the matrix.
With this calculation I got correct positions for all variants of
scaled, rotated and differently positioned outputs.

Summary:
When KWin successfully presents a new mode, it stores the current state
as the last working mode. If a new modeset is requested and the atomic
test fails, all is undone and reverted to this last knowing mode.
Currently included are:
* the mode
* global position
* transformation
This is only done on a modeset not when going to DPMS.
Test Plan:
Selected the not working vertical rotation and nothing bad
happened.

Summary:
This change hooks up the drm plane rotate with the rotation requests
from KScreen. Our requests support more than what KScreen exposes in the
UI, that is all the flipped variants. I do not really understand what
the flip means, so this is not implemented yet.
Furthermore this only implements the visual rotation and not the input
rotation. This means mouse movement and touch input is currently broken
on a rotated screen.
Please note that the hardware I used seems to not support the vertical
rotation. I'm not sure whether my code works. On my system it just
results in atomic commit errors and we need to go back to a previous
working state. This is not yet implemented. I need to test the vertical
rotation on my notebook, which should (in theory) support it.

Summary:
Under wayland we support high DPI putting by putting a separation
between the logical co-ordinate system and the resolution of rendered
assets.
When a window is on a high DPI screen, we should render at the higher
resolution.
Like the window scaling this handles any combination of a 2x scaled
decoration being rendered on a 1x screen or vice versa.
---
This patch is a bit different from the other scaling stuff. We have to
generate the quads *before* we have an updated texture with the new
scale. This means the scale isn't attached to the buffer like elsewhere.
That's why I added a property in TopLevel so there's still one canonical
source and things can't get out of sync.
BUG: 384765
Test Plan:
Crystal clear breeze and oxygen decos on my @2x display
Drag windows to attached @1x display, things still look OK when across 2
screens
Changing the scale of a screen updated the decos instantly

For software QtQuick rendering we want to create a pixmap buffer and

m_rendercontrol->grab does this, but also covers the GL side in pretty
much the same way that we were currently doing.
In doing so I found a bug in Qt, that's submitted upstream, and also worked round.
Test Plan:
Tested with forced software mode, could see an Aurorae decorations
Tested without (so normal code), could see an Aurorae decorations
Tested wayland on nvidia with software rendering, didn't freeze
Whether we then end up using GL, painter or xrender rendering is irrelevant
(but I tested two of them anyway)

This change hooks up the bits for changing the mode when a request to
change mode from kscreen is received. This includes:
* setting new mode in DrmOutput
* creating new buffers in SceneQPainter backend
* creating new GbmSurface in SceneOpenGL backend
Room for improvement:
* detect whether the new mode works and go back to old one if it fails
Test Plan:
Started both a QPainter/OpenGL session. Used kcmshell5 kscreen
to modify the resolution. Saw that it got applied, maximized a window to
verify it's correct. Changed back to original resolution. Verified it looked

Summary:
The SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK results in threads (not only processes) to have
the scheduling policy reset to default. This means that the libinput
thread is not real time, but this was actually intended.
To solve this problem KWin does start without the RESET_ON_FORK flag
during startup. Once createInput has been called the scheduling is
adjusted again and RESET_ON_FORK is added again. This results in the
libinput thread and all threads Qt starts in between (e.g. dbus) to gain
real time policy. But it is still not leaked to other processes or to
threads in KWin which don't need it.
Other options considered: just don't use RESET_ON_FORK and instead
manually reset on fork. This would mean all threads in KWin gain real
time, but we don't need this. It's only interesting for the main
(rendering, Wayland thread) and the input thread. Also the danger to
leak into another process is too high.
Keeping the capability till the libinput thread is created and adjust
the thread itself. This option was discarded as I don't want KWin to
have any capabilities when the QApplication is started.

Summary:
Rendering subsurfaces in the OpenGL compositor has always resulted in
flickering when a subsurface gets repainted and there is a window on top
of it. Looking at the code this is rather obvious: the clipping of the
main window is ignored and the complete subsurface is rendered as is and
thus also rendering above windows where it should not render.
This change passes the clip region and whether hardware clipping is used
to the rendering of subsurfaces which in turn uses it for rendering the
texture.
BUG: 385924
FIXED-IN: 5.11.3
Test Plan:
Opened systemsettings, went to decoration KCM, put a window
partially above and scrolled. Without change: strong flicker, with change:
no flicker.

Under wayland we support high DPI putting by putting a separation
between the logical co-ordinate system and the resolution of rendered

I didn't include window decorations in the previous wayland scaling
patchset. They were drawn them at a standard resolution, which is
implicitly scaled up.
This uses the Qt scaling, meaning oxygen and breeze (and others) get
perfect high DPI support with zero client changes.
Like the window scaling this handles any combination of a 2x scaled
decoration being rendered on a 1x screen or vice versa.

Summary:
We want to translate by the monitor position, so that needs to be

But Kwin/KScreen treats 0 as the top of all monitors. GL treats 0 as
bottom, so that all needs inverting.
Hence this should be a positive y value for the viewport.

Summary:
On Wayland we have the sync disabled as it doesn't work properly. This
allows us to also move the sync event handling into the X11 standalone
platform.
The code is slightly refactored: instead of passing the event to each
Client, we search for the matching Client. For that the SyncAlaram struct
is added to public section of Client. The method to handle the sync
doesn't need the event any more and is moved from events.cpp to
client.cpp.

Run Xephyr+kwin_x11, resized a window and verified through
gdb breakpoint that the sync still works

Summary:
The Compositor now tries to create a Scene not just once but every
type supported by the Platform till it finds one which works. The user's
configuration is only used as a preferred hint and tried first if the
platform supports it.
This brings as an advantage that on platforms such as framebuffer the
user does not need to specify which compositor to use: KWin uses QPainter
automatically.
Also we don't need to do the "translation" from XRender to QPainter any
more. XRender is not supported by any platform using QPainter, so the
user configuration is ignored anyway.

Summary:
The test DontCrashUseractionsMenu (Waylandonly) found an issue in our
screen handling implementation in the QPA. The code exposed a short time
frame between the dummy screen getting destroyed and the first screen
being added. This could result in a crash of KWin.
There is actually no need to implement Screen on top of Wayland screen.
KWin has all the knowledge, so we can also base this on top of the
Screens API.
Advantages:
* no delays due to Wayland roundtrips
* handle screen getting removed (was a TODO)
* handle resolution changes (was a TODO)
The new implementation has a disadvantage that it destroys and readds
all screens whenever something around the screen changes. This shouldn't
be an issue in practice as it's only for the internal QPA and thus only
affects KWin internal windows which is placed in global coordinates
anyway. If it turns out to be a problem we need to track better the
screen changes - so far those were not tracked at all.
Test Plan: Run a few unit tests which change screens
