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.
When dragging files on the desktop, the cursor image might be just too
big for the cursor plane, in which case we need to abandon hardware
cursors for a brief moment and use a software cursor. Once the files
have been dropped and the cursor image is small enough, we can go back
to using hw cursors.
BUG: 424589
Currently, when the DRM platform uses cursor planes, the cursor on
a rotated output may be cropped because the math behind the current
cursor transform matrix is off.
In order to fix the cropping issue, this change replaces the current
cursor transform matrix with the core part of the surface-to-buffer
matrix, which was written against the wl_output spec.
BUG: 427605

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:
This patch further refines output management.
We go now through AbstractWaylandOutput virtual functions to enable and
disable outputs.
Dpms changes and enablement switches use separate code paths at start in the
Drm backend code since they are similar but not the directly same. Common code
is shared though, functions are renamed accordingly.
Asserts have been put in place to better understand and check the control
flow. A seemingly unnecessary call to DrmOutput::pageFlipped on reactivation
after Vt switch has been removed to allow for that.
In future patches we need to look additionally at the legacy mode switching
code path which was and is still not working and better handling of the
current monitor Dpms state. For example a monitor being switched off is not
properly acted on and the workspace still expanded.
Test Plan:
With one and two monitors:
* Dpms off/on
* Vt switches
* Screen disable/enable

This lifts the enablement code for outputs from the DRM backend to Platform
allowing other Wayland backends in the future to use this interface as well.
To do that we also create some helper functions on Platform level and have to

of Platform into a Wayland child class like for AbstractOutput.

Summary:
This is the initial implementation of a DRM backend based on the EGLDevice,
EGLOutput, and EGLStream extensions, supporting NVIDIA graphics hardware using
their proprietary driver. The new backend will be used if the environment
variable KWIN_DRM_USE_EGL_STREAMS is set. On initialization, it will attempt to
create an EGLDevice based on the DRM device currently in use and create
EGLOutputs and EGLStreams for any attached displays. These are used to control
presentation of the final composited frame. Additionally, it will register the
wl_eglstream_controller Wayland interface so that native EGL windows created by
clients can be attached to an EGLStream allowing buffer contents to be shared
with the compositor as a GL texture.
At this time there are two known bugs in the NVIDIA driver's EGL implementation
affecting desktop functionality. The first can result in tooltip windows drawn
by plasmashell to contain incorrect contents. The second prevents KWayland from
being able to query the format of EGLStream-backed buffers which interferes
with the blur effect. Fixes for both of these are currently in development and
should appear in an upcoming NVIDIA driver release.
Additionally, hardware cursors are currently not supported with this backend.
Enabling them causes the desktop to intermittently hang for several seconds.
This is also likely a bug in the NVIDIA DRM-KMS implementation but the root
cause is still under investigation.
Test Plan:
On a system with an NVIDIA graphics card running a recent release of their
proprietary driver
* Ensure the nvidia_drm kernel module is loaded with the option "modeset=1"
("# cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset" should print "Y")
* Ensure EGL external platform support is installed
https://github.com/NVIDIA/eglexternalplatform
* Ensure KWin was build with the CMake option
KWIN_BUILD_EGL_STREAM_BACKEND=ON (this is the default)
* Start a plasma wayland session with the environment variable
KWIN_DRM_USE_EGL_STREAMS set
* Ensure output from KWin OpenGL initialization indicates the NVIDIA EGL
driver is in use (as opposed to Mesa / llvmpipe).
* Desktop should be fully functional and perform smoothly.

Also make the DrmOutput class directly a child class of this generic class.
The long-term goal is to get rid of the Screens global object on Wayland and
instead directly work with Output objects on compositing level.
This should enable us long-term to do direct scanout to hardware planes, what

Summary:
This change finds the screen for a touch screen device based on:
* number available screens
* output name defined on the touch screen device
* internal screen
* and physical size
The id of the screen is stored in the Device allowing to adjust the
touch points accordingly. This means instead of transferring to the
combined display size the touch points are transferred into the output
space and the position of the output is added. Thus in a multi screen
system the touch points are properly mapped to the output.
Furthermore the screen orientation is passed to the Device and a
calibration matrix is set accordingly. Thus a transformed screen has the
touch screen transformed accordingly.
Please note that this only affects libinput on Wayland and not on X11!
The x11 standalone platform needs to gain similar code.

The drm platform plugin is adjusted to make use of the OrientationSensor.
The API is defined in a way that this can also be implemented on other
platforms supporting rotation. Most important are hwcomposer and X11

through XRandR. The former needs addition for rotation support first.

can rotate them if needed. Thus we get nicely transformed cursors.

Furthermore this only implements the visual rotation and not the input

Please note that the hardware I used seems to not support the vertical
rotation. I'm not sure whether my code works. On my system it just
results in atomic commit errors and we need to go back to a previous
working state. This is not yet implemented. I need to test the vertical
