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.
Since the Screens class is a convenience wrapper around AbstractOutput
objects that come from the Platform, it should not be platform-specific.
By dropping createScreens(), output-related code becomes simpler.
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:
AbstractOutput::name() behaviour is changed so that it matches the X11
behaviour, showing an identifier like "HDMI-0".
XdgOutput.name is set to this name.
XdgOutput.description is currently set to the manufacturer name and
model, but it's not exposed to Qt so we probably don't care too much.
This should fix plasmashell changing applets when switching between X11
and wayland.
Test Plan:
Relevant unit test
I still need to run it on my laptop.

Summary:
Get the physical size directly from the always available output device
interface instead of saving an additional copy in the abstract wayland
output class.
There is some ambiguity with orientation and naming that needs to be
cleaned up when output orientation is reworked.

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.

Summary:
Represent outputs in the X11 session via AbstractOutput. For that we
move all Wayland specific parts of AbstractOutput into a new subclass
AbstractWaylandOutput and let the outputs of our Wayland backends inherit
from there.
This should allow us to get rid of the Screens class later on.
Test Plan: Manually in X session.

Weston does something similar
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/tree/libweston/compositor-fbdev.c#n315
...and it seems that the non-primary framebuffer devices start completely off. (the screen is off on my Displayport device, and the window for the second vga card in qemu is much smaller than the primary one, and all black for my qemu vm) .
In my testing, sending the ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO with a *changed* &varinfo allows it to wake up, and turns on the screen.
doing FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO and then FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO in my testing does not work.
I think really the values that end up getting changed are varinfo.transp.offset and varinfo.transp.length. at least on the qemu system, but in this patch I am aligning all of them for completeness, because the drivers might do it differently for qemu
Test Plan: This causes the window for /dev/fb1 (remote-viewer, and a qemu vm with two "VGA" (bochsdrm) cards) to resize from the smaller size when specifying it as the --fb-device on seat0, and kwin draws on the device.

Summary:
So far KWin does not know which Compositors the platform actually
supports. This results in KWin happily trying to use the OpenGL
compositor on fbdev or the QPainter compositor on hwcomposer although
that is obviously going to fail as the platform doesn't support this.
By adding a pure virtual method all Platforms can define what they
support. In a later step the Compositor can use this to create an
appropriate scene and also perform proper fallback handling in case the
scene creation fails.

Summary:
If the format of the framebuffer is BGR we cannot create an RGB image
format from it - the rendering is incorrect. Unfortunately QImage does
not support a BGR image format.
To solve this problem we still use an RGB image format but on rendering
the front buffer is rgbSwapped to convert the RGB image to a BGR image.

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/
