This is done by converting from the sRGB + gamma 2.2 input from clients
to linear with the color space of the output (BT.709 or BT2020 atm) in
a shadow buffer, and then convert from the shadow buffer to the transfer
function the output needs (sRGB or PQ).
When GraphicsBuffer::dropped() is emitted, the buffer can be
unreferenced. If that's the case, the GraphicsBuffer will be deleted
twice: first in GraphicsBuffer::unref(), the second time in drop().
In order to address the issue, this change gets rid of the
GraphicsBuffer::dropped() signal, so it's always guaranteed that the
buffer stays alive until the reference count is checked.
The GraphicsBuffer::dropped() signal is used to remove the mapping
between wl_resource and ShmClientBuffer when the corresponding
wl_shm_buffer object is destroyed. On the other hand, we could perform
such cleanup when calling drop() too. This code can be further improved
by reimplementing wl-shm, which we need to do at some point in the
future.
This change introduces InputDevice::pointerFrame(). The main motivation
behind it is to allow batching multiple pointer events within a single
event frame.
BUG: 454428
1. In wl_output and kde_output_device_v2 protocols.
This should fix dpi calculation in
KScreen::Generator::bestScaleForOutput() when panel_orientation
is set to rotate a screen by 90 or 270 degrees.
2. When comparing with physical size of libinput device.
3. In calculations with mode sizes which are not rotated.
This change makes Output::physicalSize() return the raw
physical size, which is used in most of cases. It should
be rotated manually if needed.
If gbm_bo_get_fd_for_plane() or gbm_bo_get_fd() fails, ensure that the
gbm buffer allocator properly handles it and doesn't return a
GraphicsBuffer object.
The main motivation is to avoid scattering graphics buffer things around
kwin.
DmaBufParams struct has been moved to the OutputBackend, but with the
introduction of buffer allocators, we need to port screencasting code to
the new abstractions some time in the future.
A client can specify the following flags when creating a linux dmabuf
client buffer:
- y_invert
- interlaced
- bottom_first
Only the y_invert flag is supported by kwin. The interlaced and the
bottom_first flags are ignored. On the other hand, most clients don't
specify the dmabuf flags. For example, neither EGL nor Vulkan WSIs
use the y_invert flag.
The y_invert flag is undesired because it also blocks optimizations such
as direct scanout because DRM assumes that the origin is in the top left
corner.
Therefore, this change drops the support for linux dmabuf flags. From
the protocol perspective, this is fine. It can be viewed as buffer
import failing with the specified flags.
LinuxDmaBufV1ClientBuffer contains properties (formats, and flags) that
are not available in the base GraphicsBuffer type and there's no reason
to move it there.
In order to get rid of those properties (and eventually hide the
LinuxDmaBufV1ClientBuffer type from the public api), this change adds a
DmaBufAttributes getter in the GraphicsBuffer.
Currently, there exists the separation between the buffers provided by
the clients and the buffers created by the compositor.
In hindsight, this separation is not great because it leads to
specialized code paths in the output backend. For example, we have a
separate code path for direct scanout and presenting composited frame.
But you could view the latter case as "direct scanout of a compositor
buffer".
The main idea behind the buffer type is to provide a base buffer type
for client buffers and composited frame buffers (not drm fbs) that we
could pass around, import as textures, etc.
At the moment, the render backend provides its specific implementation
of LinuxDmaBufV1ClientBuffer. This has some of its limitations. For
example, due to the strong coupling, compositing restarts must be
handled carefully. It's hard to have a generic code path to import
dmabufs, which would be nice to have in order to unify graphics buffer
allocation across various backends; currently, it's all scattered.
To make the code simpler, this change drops the commented out YUV import
code path for now. Given that Mesa implicitly handles it, the need for
it is no longer so urgent.
As a first step to move away from having an external service remember output settings
for KWin, this commit introduces an output manager that can load configuration files
and generate new output configurations.
Instead of calling effects->renderTargetRect() and effects->renderTargetScale(),
pass the actually used render target and viewport in all the necessary methods.
This ensures that if an effect renders a screen with a modified scale or
projection matrix, the modified values get used instead of the "global" ones
In order to work around hardware and drivers that aren't capable of applying
a LUT, calculate a per-channel factor for brightness and color temperature
modification. While this ignores color calibration, this makes night color
work until a proper shader based color pipeline is implemented.
BUG: 455720
Instead of best-guessing, at BGR (which in retrospect was a bad guess),
offer whatever resembles most the internal representation. This way the
frame gets to be least treated as it goes into the client.
Move some generic properties to the OutputLayer class and add a cursor
layer getter in the RenderBackend class. That allows us to get rid of
some code duplication. And we could use this work to move more cursor layer
code from backends to Compositor.
The goal is to create surface items for things that are not in the
workspace scene. RenderBackend perhaps is not a great place for these
factory functions. On the other hand, this change merely rewires code
from Scene to RenderBackend. I think that in distant future we could
make surface items pick surface texture type on their own, for what it's
worth that's what we would do in QtQuick.
Currently, output backends track the cursor behind the scenes. This
results in some amount of code duplication, for example the handling of
hidden cursors, every backend handles in its own unique way, some don't
do it correctly. Another issue is that output backend interact with
other components behind the back. This can be a problem for tasks such
as backing the cursor with an output layer.
This change introduces explicit output cursor manipulation APIs in the
Output class. There's a good chance that it's going to be revised more
in the future as part of streamlining output layer manipulation apis.
With the proposed changes, the workspace would need to call
Output::setCursor() or Output::moveCursor() to set/unset or move the
cursor, respectively.
If this function is useful to make sure we are properly aligned with the
output's pixels, we should start with the output's 0, otherwise we'll be
carrying over the rounding errors increasingly as our workspace grows.
BUG: 459373
Using OutputBackend::outputsQueried can cause problems because it's emitted
before output settings like enablement get adjusted to the new output configuration.
It also doesn't react to output changes initiated by KScreen and is in the
way of plans to use multiple output backends at the same time.
BUG: 461901
OutputBackend has a concept of readiness. When the host compositor goes
down, the OutputBackend will be marked as not ready, and when it
reappears, the output backend will be marked ready again.
On the other hand, host compositor going down is a niche case, it's not
something that often happens and it's hard to justify adding more moving
parts to the startup code. It's easier to call initialize() and check
whether it fails rather than call initialize() and then monitor isReady.
Therefore, this change drops OutputBackend::isReady() to make startup
simpler.
If the platform doesn't support setting gamma ramps, let the request
fail. In long term, we need a software fallback too so this property is
not that relevant.
It's odd to manipulate host cursor position and it's not highly
important, for example we haven't had a need to warp the cursor on
wayland.
The main motivation behind this change is to slim down the Platform to
make it more output oriented.
