Once in a while, we receive complaints from other fellow KDE developers
about the file organization of kwin. This change addresses some of those
complaints by moving all of source code in a separate directory, src/,
thus making the project structure more traditional. Things such as tests
are kept in their own toplevel directories.
This change may wreak havoc on merge requests that add new files to kwin,
but if a patch modifies an already existing file, git should be smart
enough to figure out that the file has been relocated.
We may potentially split the src/ directory further to make navigating
the source code easier, but hopefully this is good enough already.
At the moment, our frame scheduling infrastructure is still heavily
based on Xinerama-style rendering. Specifically, we assume that painting
is driven by a single timer, etc.
This change introduces a new type - RenderLoop. Its main purpose is to
drive compositing on a specific output, or in case of X11, on the
overlay window.
With RenderLoop, compositing is synchronized to vblank events. It
exposes the last and the next estimated presentation timestamp. The
expected presentation timestamp can be used by effects to ensure that
animations are synchronized with the upcoming vblank event.
On Wayland, every outputs has its own render loop. On X11, per screen
rendering is not possible, therefore the platform exposes the render
loop for the overlay window. Ideally, the Scene has to expose the
RenderLoop, but as the first step towards better compositing scheduling
it's good as is for the time being.
The RenderLoop tries to minimize the latency by delaying compositing as
close as possible to the next vblank event. One tricky thing about it is
that if compositing is too close to the next vblank event, animations
may become a little bit choppy. However, increasing the latency reduces
the choppiness.
Given that, there is no any "silver bullet" solution for the choppiness
issue, a new option has been added in the Compositing KCM to specify the
amount of latency. By default, it's "Medium," but if a user is not
satisfied with the upstream default, they can tweak it.
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.
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.
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.
Currently in order to load an Xcursor theme, kwin uses libwayland api,
which looks really awkward because of the way how the compositor talks
to itself via the internal connection.
The main motivation behind this change is to limit the usage of kwayland
client api in kwin.
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.

Fixes a crash we would get, we're changing 2 main things:
- release the event queue first, otherwise we'd serve events to
disappearing objects.
- destroy the connection thread object after the thread has quit.

Summary:
Because KWin is a very old project, we use three kinds of null pointer
literals: 0, NULL, and nullptr. Since C++11, it's recommended to use
nullptr keyword.
This change converts all usages of 0 and NULL literal to nullptr. Even
though it breaks git history, we need to do it in order to have consistent
code as well to ease code reviews (it's very tempting for some people to
add unrelated changes to their patches, e.g. converting NULL to nullptr).
Test Plan: Compiles.

Summary:
With f013a4369c, cd6b69a4d2, d960be4b3f and edb200f6bc all possible
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 KWin didn't send axis_source, axis_discrete, and axis_stop. Even
though most of those events are optional, clients need them to work as
expected. For example, one needs axis_source and axis_stop to implement
kinetic scrolling; Xwayland needs axis_discrete to prevent multiple
scroll events when the compositor sends axis deltas greater than 10, etc.

Summary:
This patch rewrites large parts of the Wayland platform plugin, in order to
facilitate the testing of multi output behavior in nested KWin sessions.
For that a new class WaylandOutput is introduced, which is based on
AbstractOutput and by that shares functionality with our virtual and DRM
platform plugins.
The EGL/GBM and QPainter backends have been remodelled after the DRM one,
sharing similiarities there as well now.
Pointer grabbing has been rewritten to support multiple outputs, now using
pointer locking instead of confining and drawing in this case onto a sub-
surface, which get dynamically recreated in between the different output
surfaces while the cursor is being moved.
Window resizing is possible if host supports xdg-shell, but currently the
mode size does not yet fill the new window size.
The number of outputs can be set by command line argument `--output-count`,
scaling is also supported by setting the argument `--scale`.
Further steps could be:
* Enabling automatic fill of resized windows via Wayland mode change
* Multiple diverging initial sizes and scale factors for mulitple outputs

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.

Summary:
So far KWin does not know which Compositors the platform actually
supports. This results in KWin happily trying to use the OpenGL
compositor on fbdev or the QPainter compositor on hwcomposer although
that is obviously going to fail as the platform doesn't support this.
By adding a pure virtual method all Platforms can define what they
support. In a later step the Compositor can use this to create an
appropriate scene and also perform proper fallback handling in case the
scene creation fails.

Summary:
The Platform API is extended by a call to create the EffectsHandler. In
X11 standalone Platform a new EffectsHandlerImplX11 is added which
contains the X11 only parts of the EffectsHandler, such as grabbing the
X keyboard and the X11 mouse interception window.
The EffectsHandlerImpl gains some virtual methods for the parts which
are now done in the X11 specific implementation. In return we get rid of
lots of if-else structures checking for the operation mode.
Test Plan: Only compile tested.

Summary:
This supports "grabbing" the pointer on right ctrl key just like on X11.
If the Wayland server supports pointer constraints protocol, the nested
Wayland compositor creates a confined pointer if the right ctrl key is
pressed.
On another right ctrl press the (active) constraint gets removed again.
To indicate the current state the window title gets updated. This also
implements window title support for the first time.
This change implement T4604.
