One of the annoying things about EGL headers is that they include
platform headers by default, e.g. on X11, it's Xlib.h, etc.
The problem with Xlib.h is that it uses the define compiler directive to
declare constants and those constants have very generic names, e.g.
'None', which typically conflict with enums, etc.
In order to work around bad things coming from Xlib.h, we include
fixx11.h file that contains some workarounds to redefine some Xlib's
types.
There's a flag or rather two flags (EGL_NO_PLATFORM_SPECIFIC_TYPES and
EGL_NO_X11) that are cross-vendor and they can be used to prevent EGL
headers from including platform specific headers, such as Xlib.h [1]
The benefit of setting those two flags is that you can simply include
EGL/egl.h or epoxy/egl.h and the world won't explode due to Xlib.h
MESA_EGL_NO_X11_HEADERS is set to support older versions of Mesa.

On wayland, we know we're always going to load our internal QPA. Instead
of shipping a plugin and loading it dynamically we can use Qt static
plugins.
This should result in slightly faster load times, but also reduce the
number of moving pieces for kwin.
This also prevents anyone outside kwin loading our QPA which wouldn't
have made any sense and just crashed.
Qt checks OpenGL version to determine if some features can be enabled.
This change ensures that the format EGLPlatformContext returns has
properly initialized the OpenGL version, the context profile and the
format options (e.g. whether it's a debug context, etc).
On Wayland, internal windows that use OpenGL are rendered into fbos,
which are later handed over to kwin. In order to achieve that, our QPA
creates OpenGL contexts that share resources with the scene's context.
The problems start when compositing has been restarted. If user changes
any compositing settings, the underlying render backend will be
reinitialized and with it, the scene's context will be destroyed. Thus,
we no longer can accept framebuffer objects from internal windows.
This change addresses the framebuffer object sharing problem by adding
a so called global share context. It persists throughout the lifetime of
kwin. It can never be made current. The scene context and all contexts
created in our QPA share resources with it.
Therefore we can destroy the scene OpenGL context without affecting
OpenGL contexts owned by internal windows, e.g. the outline visual or
tabbox.
It's worth noting that Qt provides a way to create a global share
context. But for our purposes it's not suitable since the share
context must be known when QGuiApplication attempts to instantiate a
QOpenGLContext object. At that moment, the backend is not initialized
and thus the EGLDisplay is not available yet.
BUG: 415798
If the surfaceless context extension is unsupported by the underlying
platform, the QPA will use the EGLSurface of the first output to make
OpenGL contexts current.
If an internal window attempts to make an OpenGL context current while
compositing is being restarted, for example it's typically the case with
the composited outline visual, QPA will either try to make the context
current with a no longer valid EGLSurface for the first output or will
crash during the call to Platform::supportsSurfacelessContext(). The
latter needs more explanation. After the compositingToggled() signal has
been emitted, there is no scene and supportsSurfacelessContext() doesn't
handle this case.
In either case, we could return EGL_NO_SURFACE if compositing is being
restarted, but if the underlying platform doesn't support the surfaceless
context extension, then the composited outline will not be able to
delete used textures, framebuffer objects, etc.
This change addresses that problem by making sure that every platform
window has a pbuffer allocated in case the surfaceless context extension
is unsupported.
This makes our QPlatformOpenGLContext private subclass simpler.
As a slightly unrelated change, this patch also fixes a bug where our
platform opengl context may return a wrong surface format if surfaceless
contexts are unsupported.
Previously qtvirtualkeyboard was integrated weirdly so that it was
acting as the focus object and proxy for input methods, however now that
we support proper input methods, this code is totally unused in the QPA
and actually prevents the QT_IM_MODULE from working now that
qtvirtualkeyboard is dropped.
See: f26f2fe181 for the reference of the
code deleted.
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.

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:
So far wayland was used by internal clients to submit raster buffers
and position themselves on the screen. While we didn't have issues with
submitting raster buffers, there were some problems with positioning
task switchers. Mostly, because we had effectively two paths that may
alter geometry.
A better approach to deal with internal clients is to let our QPA use
kwin core api directly. This way we can eliminate unnecessary roundtrips
as well make geometry handling much easier and comprehensible.
The last missing piece is shadows. Both Plasma::Dialog and Breeze widget
style use platform-specific APIs to set and unset shadows. We need to
add shadows API to KWindowSystem. Even though some internal clients lack
drop-shadows at the moment, I don't consider it to be a blocker. We can
add shadows back later on.

We have lots of inconsistency at the moment in CMakeLists.txt files. Most
of it is due to kwin being a very old project. This change hopefully fixes
all of it.
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:
Depending on whether the underlying platform supports offscreen surfaces,
QOffscreenSurface may create an invisible QWindow. In our case that's the
case, for each offscreen surface a native window is created. This may
lead to some funky results related to window decorations, see bug 407612.
There are several ways to implement offscreen surfaces - either use pbuffers
or utilize a surfaceless context extension. For the sake of simplicity
this change sticks with pbuffers, but it's a good idea to support both
methods.

Summary:
Since QPA only performs off-screen rendering, it does not require an EGLConfig
that supports any particular surface type. Currently it requests a config
supporting window surfaces, however the EGLDeviceEXT platform, which is the
basis of the EGLStream back-end used with the proprietary NVIDIA driver, does
not support such surfaces resulting in eglChooseConfig not returning any valid
configs when that back-end is in use. Since QPA doesn't actually create any
window surfaces, it should be fine to remove this restriction to allow it to
initialize properly with the EGLStream back-end.

Summary:
Using the Wayland protocol for OpenGL is no longer used or useful. KWin
internal windows only use OpenGL through QtQuick. We either have the
sharing context (KWin uses OpenGL for compositing) or we have the
QPainter compositor which also turns QtQuick to use software renderer.
Thus a situation where the Wayland platform context is useful doesn't
exist any more. Removing it helps getting the QPA plugin Wayland free.
Test Plan:
Run nested KWin triggering Outline once with OpenGL and once
with QPainter compositor.
