Summary:
Selecting not to vsync does not make sense for an X11 compositor. In the end
we want clients to be able to present async if they want to but the compositor
is supposed to send swaps with vsync to the XServer in order to not generate
tearing artifacts.
There was also a detection logic which did some questionable things in case
vsync was not available. I don't think this is necessary at all since we can
just always run a timer to present with or without vsync.
Test Plan: kwin_x11 tested on i915.

Summary:
It doesn't belong with advanced compositing settings as it's quite user
friendly, and we also want to adjust other animation speeds. May as well
do it together.
In the current form all compositing is still completely reinitiliased
like with the previous slider. Change notifications come in the form of
KConfigWatcher rather than our own bespoke update interface.
Test Plan:
Moved new slider, minimised a window.
It still behaved as expected.

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:
So far we were following a bit unique and rare doxygen comment style:
/**
* Contents of the comment.
**/
Doxygen comments with this style look balanced and neat, but many people
that contribute to KWin don't follow this style. Instead, they prefer
more traditional doxygen comment style, i.e.
/**
* Contents of the comment.
*/
Reviewing such changes has been a bit frustrating for me (so selfish!)
and for other contributors.
This change switches doxygen comment style in KWin to a more traditional
style. The main reason for doing this is to make code review process easier
for new contributors as well us.

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.

The code in events.cpp was problematic as it was called in a Wayland
session. So KWin changed outputs, this gets mirrored to XWayland and
then KWin reacted on the XRandR event and might have even changed the
refresh rate due to that - bad idea.
This change moves the code into the already existing X11EventFilter for
XRandR events in XRandRScreens.

Summary:
The feature has always been considered experimental. Unfortunately it is
completely unmaintained and hasn't seen any commits in years. It
requires kolor-manager to function, but that has not seen a release
based on frameworks yet. This makes it difficult to maintain. In fact I
have never been able from the introduction till now to setup a color
corrected system. One needs kolor-manager and oyranos and especially the
latter is hardly available on any linux distribution (e.g. not on the
Debian/Ubuntu systems).
Due to being unmaintained color correction in KWin did not keep up with
recent changes. Neither did it see any updates during the xlib->xcb
port, nor during the Wayland port. Especially the Wayland port with the
rendering changes make it unlikely to function correctly. E.g. Wayland
introduced a proper per-screen rendering, while color correction did a
"fake" per screen rendering. How that is going to work in combination is
something nobody ever tried. Now after the introduction of proper
per-screen rendering the solution would be to port color correction to
the new api, but that never happened.
Color correction also modified the shaders, but a newer shader API got
introduced some time ago. Whether the color correction shader support
that or not, is unknown to me. Also which shader language versions are
supported. I know it was based on 3d texture support, which back on
introduction was partially lacking in OpenGL ES. Nowadays that changed,
but color correction didn't update.
Last but not least it is completely X11 based and there is no work on
how to make it work with Wayland.
Given all the problems, especially the fact that it is unmaintained and
cannot be setup on my system, means to me that the only solution is to
remove it.
I'm open to having it reintroduced in future, but only if the
availability on Linux distributions gets addressed before. As long as
major linux distributions do not ship this feature, it should not be in
KWin. Given that I must say that it was a mistake to add it in the first
place and I need to point out that I was against the merge back then.

Summary:
From feedback we got it seems that not all users agree to games and
other applications blocking compositing. Some users prefer to have
compositing always on even if this gives a small performance penelity.
This change introduces a dedicated config option to specify whether games
are allowed to block compositing. By default this option is enabled.
The setting can be overwritten with a window specific rule. So usecases
like all windows except this very specific one are supported.
In the user interface the config option is shown where previously the
unredirect fullscreen option was shown.
Test Plan:
Run a game which should block compositing, verified it blocks.
Changed the setting, run the game again, verified it doesn't block. And
once more for with allowing to block.

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.
Test Plan:
Compiles, cannot really test as I am an Intel user who never
had that working.

This change implements the mouse command for modifier (alt/meta) plus
click in InputRedirection so that it also works on Wayland.
Modifier plus mouse wheel is not implemented yet.
For easier code in Options a new method is added which provides the
configured modifier as a Qt::KeyboardModifier instead of a Qt::Key code.
Test case is added which simulates all variants of modifiers plus
supported mouse buttons to trigger move.
On popular demand!
This change tracks how modifiers are used and detects a modifier only
key press/release. That is:
* no other key is pressed when the modifier gets pressed
* no other key gets pressed before the modifier gets released
If such a press/release is detected, we call a configurable dbus call.
The possible shortcuts can be configured in kwinrc, group
"ModifierOnlyShortcuts". The following keys are supported:
* Shift
* Control
* Alt
* Meta
As value it takes a QStringList (comma seperated string) with
service,path,interface,method,additionalargs
E.g. to invoke Desktop Grid effect on Meta key:
[ModifierOnlyShortcuts]
Meta=org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/kwin/,org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component,invokeShortcut,ShowDesktopGrid
I do not intend to add a config interface for it. Let's keep it a hidden
way.

Each of the backends becomes a plugin. This allows kwin_wayland to load
the requested plugin and kwin itself doesn't need to link all the
libraries needed. E.g. libdrm is no longer linked if running kwin_x11.
Also this allows to create backends for the non-standard EGL platforms
(examples could be raspberrypi or Android devices).
A new config option "GLPlatformInterface" is added to the Compositing
settings group. Valid values are "glx" and "egl". This config option is
honored by the Scene to decide which backend to create.
The setting gets sanitized by the operation mode (egl for Wayland),
the environment variable KWIN_OPENGL_INTERFACE and the compile time
support. These switches are removed from the Scene to not have them
duplicated.
KWin already has a de facto OpenGL 2 dependency through QML. Combined
with the fact that the OpenGL 1 backend is basically unmaintained and
also unused, it's better to remove it for the new major release.
This change includes:
* Removal of cmake option KWIN_BUILD_OPENGL_1_COMPOSITING
* Removal of KWIN_HAVE_OPENGL_1 compile option and all code
ifdef'ed with it (partially removal of if-else constructs)
* Removal of CompositingType::OpenGL1Compositing (flags are kept
as a core flag should get introduced)
* Driver recommendation for OpenGL1Compositing changed to XRender
(should be evaluated whether the drivers can provide GL2)
* Removal of configuration option "GLLegacy"
* Removal of fooMatrix function in kwinglutils
* Removal of ARBBlurShader
* Removal of legacy code path in GLVertexBuffer
* Removal of GLShaderManager::disable
* if-blocks with ShaderManager::instance()->isValid() removed

In the Wayland world we need to have a compositor. This means we have to
enforce that the compositor is running. If the setup fails we have to
quit, because it doesn't make any sense any more to be running.
A new method requiresCompositing() is added to the Application. If it
returns true the useCompositing option will always return true and the
unredirect fullscreen option will always return false. That way
compositing is enforced at startup and cannot end by unredirecting.
In addition this method is checked if actions are performed which would
suspend compositing. E.g. the shortcut to toggle compositing. Restarting
the compositor is still possible in order to change the selected
compositing backend without a restart. But if it fails KWin will quit.
The main purpose of the opengl testapp was to set the environment
variable LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT if direct rendering is not supported
before glx gets initialized.
With Qt5 we may no longer set this environment variable. QtQuick
requires direct rendering. On IvyBridge QtQuick is crashing if the
variable is set. Thus we are no longer allowed to set it and thus the
complete test becomes pointless.
The test app basically whitelisted most drivers anyway, the only
drivers which were problematic are the proprietary Catalyst drivers.
It that's still a problem we can also disable OpenGL compositing on
those drivers through the recommendation in the GLPlatform.
This also means that the KWIN_DIRECT_GL variable is no longer useful.
The configChanged() signal was declared in both KDecorationOptions and
Options, while Options recently became derived from KDecorationOptions.
This created confusion for QMetaObjectPrivate which was spitting a
couple of error messages.
Remove configChanged() signal declaration from Options, rely on the one
from the base class Options.
Create a special notify signal for focusPolicyIsResonableChanged,
directly connected to the configChanged() signal.
REVIEW: 113336
For this KDecorationOptions becomes a QObject. The changed flags from
updateSettings are removed. Instead the method just emits the proper
changed signals.
This should allow better handling in the Factories.
The changed mask is going to be replaced by more specific signals so
we don't need to calculate the change mask in KWin core anymore.
We still need to call reset in the decoration plugin to check whether
a new decoration library needs to be loaded.
Used to include quite a bit no longer needed. In order to get rid of
the utils.h inclusion one enum is moved to options (where it actually
belongs to).
Following the approaches of other split out functionality Screens is a
singleton class created by Workspace.
The class takes over the responsibility for:
* screenChanged signal delayed by timer
* number of screens
* geometry of given screen
* active screen
* config option for active screen follows mouse
The class contains a small abstraction layer and has a concrete subclass
wrapping around QDesktopWidget, but the idea is to go more low level and
interact with XRandR directly to get more detailed information.
All over KWin the usage from QDesktopWidget is ported over to the new
Screens class.

The new class FocusChain manages two different kind of focus chains.
First of all there is a most recently used focus chain which is primarily
used for TabBox.
Then there is one focus chain per virtual desktop. These chains are used
to determine which Client needs to be activated when e.g. switching to a
virtual desktop.
The individual chains are implemented as a simple QList of Client* with
the most recently used Client as the last element. That way one can see
it as a LIFO like structure.
The desktop focus chains are internally represented as a hash with the id
of the virtual desktop as the key and a list as described as the value.
FocusChain is a singleton which provides some methods to manipulate the
chains and to get a specific Client for a task (e.g. TabBox).
While splitting out the code some unused code inside TabBox got removed
as well as some activities related code (windows cannot be moved while
switching activities).

For the time being the current design of Options is more or less kept to
not have to adjust KWin code all over the place. Also for some parts the
generated class from KConfigXT cannot be used due to inter-settings
dependencies defined in the setters.
Options now holds a pointer to a Settings object which is generated from
KConfigXT and uses it to read the default values and the individual
settings. This means the static default value methods are dropped and the
variables are initialized with a normal default value (all int 0, all
boolean false and so on) in the initializer list. Afterwards the values
are set to the correct default value through KConfigXT.
So far for the first step only Windows category is using KConfigXT.

This rewrite is mostly motivated by the need to handle multi screen
setups correctly. That is have edges per screen and not for the combined
geometry. Also porting from XLib to XCB has been a motivation for the
rewrite.
The design of the new ScreenEdge handling is described in the
documentation of ScreenEdges in screenedge.h.
In addition the following changes have been performed:
* move configuration from Options to ScreenEdge
* add screen edge information to Workspace::supportInformation (obviously
replaces what had been read from Options)
* have Workspace hold a pointer to ScreenEdges instead of an object
* forward declaration of ScreenEdges in workspaces.h, this explains the

The ownership for virtual desktops is moved from Workspace into a new
VirtualDesktopManager. The manager is responsible for providing the count
of virtual desktops and keeping track of the currently used virtual
desktop.
All methods related to moving between desktops are also moved from
Workspace to the new manager, though all methods related to Clients on
Virtual Desktops remain in Workspace for the time being. This is to have
the new manager as independent from KWin core as possible.
An rather important change for the handling of virtual desktops is that
the count and the id of a desktop is now an unsinged integer instead of
an integer. The reason for that is that we cannot have a negative count
of desktops as well as it is not possible to be on a desktop with a
negative identifier.
In that regard it is important to remember that a Client can be on a
desktop with a negative identifier. The special value for a Client being
on all desktops is handled by using -1 as a desktop. For the time being
this is not adjusted but instead of comparing the virtual desktop ids one
should prefer to use the convenient methods like isOnDesktop and
isOnAllDesktops. This would allow in future to internally change the
representation for on all desktops.
Add an option to kcmcompositing in the 'Advanced' tab, to enable or
disable color correction. It is specified that it's experimental and it
needs Kolor Manager.
Before painting for a particular screen, ColorCorrection::setupForOutput
should be called.
A screen property is added for WindowPaintData.
In kwinglutils, The fragment shaders are intercepted before being
compiled and they get a couple of lines of code inserted in order to do
the color correction. This happens only when color correction is enabled, of
course.
For D-Bus communication with KolorServer, everything is async.
The implementation basically manages a set of color lookup tables for
different outputs and for different window regions. These are taken via
D-Bus. Each lookup table has around 700 KB.
This commit reintroduces the changes from the former merge with the
"color2" branch. In this form, it can be easily reverted.
