To get an image from KWin to the screen in the DRM pipeline we combine a CRTC,
an encoder and a connector. These objects are static in the sense, that they
represent real hardware on the graphics card, which doesn't change in a
session. See here for more details:
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/gfx-docs/drm/gpu/drm-kms.html
Until now we used DrmOutput as the main representation for such an active
rendering pipeline. I.e. it gets created and destroyed on hot plug events of
displays. On the other side we had no fixed representation of the static kernel
objects throughout the lifetime of KWin. This has several disadvantages:
* We always need to query all available static objects on an hot plug event.
* We can't manipulate the frame buffer of a CRTC after an output has been
disconnected
* Adding functionality for driving multiple displays on a single CRTC (i.e.
cloning) would be difficult
* We can't destroy the last frame buffer on display disconnect because the CRTC
still accesses it and have therefore a memory leak on every display disconnect
This patch solves these issues by storing representations of all available CRTC
and Connector objects in DrmBackend on init via DrmCrtc and DrmConnector
instances. On an hotplug event these vectors are looped for a fitting CRTC and
Connector combinations. Buffer handling is moved to the respective CRTC
instance. All changes in overview:
* Query all available CRTCs and Connectors and save for subsequent hotplug
events
* Fix logic errors in `queryResources()`
* Move framebuffers, buffer flip and blank logic in DrmCrtc
* Remove `restoreSaved()`. It isn't necessary and is dangerous if the old
framebuffer was deleted in the meantime. Also could reveal sensitive user
info from old session.
Test Plan:
Login, logout, VT switching, connect and disconnect external monitor, energy
saving mode.

Libdrm 2.4.78 introduces a version 2 and if KWin gets built against it
our code would break. Given that this change is for Plasma/5.8 branch.

Summary:
Some platforms support to hide and show the cursor. This will be needed
by e.g. the zoom effect which currently only provides this functionality
on X11.
This change introduces a new method in the Platform to hide and show the
cursor. The methods need to be called balanced and the implementation
takes care of only showing again if all hide got matched by a show.
The actual hiding and showing is performed in the platform plugins. So
far the DRM and X11/Standalone platforms implement the required
functionality, though other platforms probably could implement as well.

This is Milestone 1 of full support of Atomic Mode Setting (AMS) and
Universal Planes in the KWin DRM backend.
With Milestone 1 we can use the primary plane of a DRM output and do an
AMS commit (this means mode setting aswell as page flipping), if the
driver supports it. Until now the functionality is only tested on Intel
graphics. You need the drm-next kernel for most recent DRM kernel
developments. As boot option set "i915.nuclear_pageflip". Additionally
at the moment AMS is still hidden behind the environment variable
KWIN_DRM_AMS. Set it, if you want to try out AMS.
What needs to be done next: Make it possible to transfer EGL buffers
directly to planes and implement logic for deciding about using a plane
or not for a specific buffer.

Just like 4e7392b907:
the ownership of the gbm_device must be passed to the Platform as
the ownership of the EGLDisplay is also passed to the Platform and
we may not destroy the gbm_device for an EGLDisplay we are still using.
With this change I could restart the OpenGL compositor successfully
and switch from OpenGL 3.1 to OpenGL 2 without a crash or rendering
issues.
Summary:
If it's not possible to create a buffer to blank the output, KWin won't
be able to render to the output. In that case the output should not be
added to the list of outputs.
To support this DrmOutput::blank and DrmOutput::init return bool to
indicate whether they succeeded. DrmBackend handles this situation and
doesn't add the output to the list of outputs if init failed.
If after init there are no outputs KWin is in a state where it won't
be functional. Thus the platform emits the initFailed signal to
terminate.

Summary:
So far the drm platform did not verify whether creating and mapping a
DrmBuffer for a cursor works. This could result in a crash in the worst
case.
This change verfies whether mapping the two cursor buffers works, if
not software cursor is enabled. The code is adjusted to ensure that
none of the cursor buffers is accessed in case software cursor are
enabled.
Please note that right now the drm platform's rendering does not
support software cursors. Thus currently this change results in no
cursor at all. This will be addressed by following patches.
BUG: 364740
FIXED-IN: 5.7
Test Plan:
Verfied that it properly falls back to software cursor,
but could not verify that the crash is actually fixed.

Summary:
When we get a configuration request, we also need to update the global
position on the DrmOutput, otherwise Wayland will know about the new
position, but KWin internally does not.
In addition we also need to trigger the changed signal on KWin::Screens,
so that internally code can react on the change.
With this change configuring layout of connected screens in KScreen
does work also in KWin.

Summary:
When the pointer device gets plugged off the cursor is hidden, when
a pointer device gets plugged in the cursor is shown again.
This allows to easily turn a tablet into a proper system by showing
the cursor only when it makes sense.

Summary:
Source code reorganization:
The base class AbstractBackend got renamed to Platform, thus the
"backends" are "platforms" now. As they are plugins they should go
together with other KWin plugins which are nowadays in the folder
plugins.
So new location is plugins/platforms/
