The problem with KToolInvocation is that it creates a dead lock on
Wayland in case kdeinit is not already running. It starts kdeinit
and does a QProcess::waitForFinished and our kdeinit needs to interact
with the wayland server. So dead lock.
As KRun also calls into the dangerous code path it's no option which
leaves us with QProcess to start the processes.
A nice side-effect is that we no don't need to link KF5::Service any
more from kwin_core. Now once Plasma and Notification don't use it
any more, it will be gone completely.
kdeinit_executable doesn't make sense in the case of kwin_wayland as
start_kdeinit_wrapper will be executed after kwin_wayland thus the
framework doesn't work.
The KGlobalAccelD which gets created by KWin needs a plugin for the
platform specific parts. This change introduces such a plugin. It's
linked against kwin so that it can integrate with the core.
On enable the plugin registers itself in the InputRedirection and
GlobalShortcutsManager checks the plugin whether a shortcut got
triggered.
As the loading of the plugin must happen after InputRedirection is
fully created a dedicated init method is added to InputRedirection.

We need XCB 1.10 for sync to work. Sync was optional with a version check
to make it work on build.kde.org. The CI system supports XCB 1.10 now, so
it's better to have it as a mandatory requirement.
KWin used the wrong event dispatcher: QEventDispatcherUNIX insted of
QUnixEventDispatcherQPA. This caused QWindow related events never to
be send to their destination. Which is one of the reasons why KWin's
own windows are not shown at all.
As we cannot easily use QUnixEventDispatcherQPA we do the same as
that class. Inherit from QEventDispatcherUNIX and call into
QWindowSystemInterface::sendWindowSystemEvents.
The idea for this base class is to provide access to all elements which
make up a managed "Client" being it X11 or Wayland. They share a lot,
like they have a caption, they can be minimized, etc. etc.
Of course it would have also been possible to derive a new class from
Client, but that looks like the more difficult task as Client is very
X11 specific.
So far only a very small interface is extracted with pure-virtual
methods. This is going to change by moving the functionality up into
the AbstractClient.
The interface extracted so far is inspired by the usage of FocusChain
and users of FocusChain.
The ShellClient is a Toplevel subclass for a
KWayland::Server::ShellSurfaceInterface. It gets created when a new
ShellSurfaceInterface is created and destoryed when it gets unmapped.
So far the usage is still rather limited. The ShellClient is opened
at position (0/0). While it's possible to pass pointer events to it,
it's not yet possible to activate it, so no keyboard focus.
This backend interacts with libhybris to create a hwcomposer which is
used for creating the egl context and surface. The initial version of
this backend is based on test_hwcomposer.cpp provided by libhybris.
Please note that using the hwcomposer backend requires a newer libepoxy,
the latest stable release is not able to bring up OpenGLES, so one needs
a master build of libepoxy.
Notes on licensing:
libhybris is Apache 2.0 licensed, which is not compatile with GPLv2.
But it is compatible with GPLv3. Thus the source files in the hwcomposer
backend are licensed GPLv3+ and not GPLv2+ as the rest of KWin. If one
uses KWin without the hwcomposer backend (which is obviously the default)
the licence doesn't change. But if the hwcomposer backend is used the
overall license of KWin changes to GPLv3+.
Each of the backends becomes a plugin. This allows kwin_wayland to load
the requested plugin and kwin itself doesn't need to link all the
libraries needed. E.g. libdrm is no longer linked if running kwin_x11.
Also this allows to create backends for the non-standard EGL platforms
(examples could be raspberrypi or Android devices).
The aim is to be able to create a plugin for each of the backends.
The following directories are created:
* backends/drm
* backends/fbdev
* backends/wayland
* backends/x11
Uses EGL_MESA_platform_gbm to get an EglDisplay from a gbm_device.
The DrmBackend can provide a DrmBuffer for a gbm_surface and present
it.
Unfortunately buffer age seems to be slightly broken and we still have
artefacts.
Introduces a new (optional) dependency: libdrm.
The DrmBackend currently supports finding the first connected output.
It can create shared memory buffers which are used by SceneQPainter to
do double buffered rendering.
There is still lots to do, the following things are not yet working:
* multiple outputs
* page flip
* OpenGL (through gbm)
* restoring mode setting to start value
A new Singleton VirtualTerminal is added. It interacts with Logind to
get the VTNr to take over. To get the signal to release and acquire the
VT we use a signalfd with a QSocketNotifier to monitor for signals. The
used signals must be blocked for all threads prior to startup otherwise
they are delivered to secondary threads causing issues.
Adapt to API changes introduced by b62e8888cd39301e00ad98dfe791fa66676408fb.
It adds DecoratedClient::color(group, role) for getting colors that are
not included in QPalette. Breeze used to read these colors from
kdeglobals, breaking per window color schemes. KWin now handles reading
these colors along with QPalette loading with DecorationPalette.

We released three versions with it being disabled and it doesn't look
like it will come back any time soon. Also the build was broken at least
since the repo splitting due to incorrect path to dbus xml.
In addition the connection to decorations got dropped already with the
change to kdecoration2. Which means it anyway needs large adjustements
to get the code working again.
Overall it doesn't look like it makes lots of sense to keep the code
around for someone working on it in future. If that happens this change
can be reverted.
The AbstractBackend registers itself in the WaylandServer allowing
external users to easily get to the backend and not needing to test
manually which backend is used.
There's quite some overlap and duplicated code. This AbstractEglBackend
tries to merge the two backends a little bit again.
This also introduces an AbstractEglTexture which supports both X11 and
Wayland "pixmaps" so that EglOnXBackend can support Wayland buffers.
Adds optional dependency to X11_XCB and gets used in X11WindowedBackend
to create an XLib Display if dependency is present.
This allows to create an EGL backend for the X11WindowedBackend.
This new backend allows to start a kwin_wayland server nested on an
X-Server by using a normal X11 window as output. This allows testing
kwin_wayland without needing to start another Wayland server first.
The behavior is triggered by using new command line arguments:
--windowed
--x11-display=<:0>
With optional --width and --height arguments.
In this mode the WaylandBackend is not created at all.
So far the backend is not fully integrated yet and only the QPainter
backend supports this mode.
This reorders the startup sequence quite a bit:
1. Create QAbstractEventDispatcher and install it on QCoreApplication
2. Create Application
3. Start Xwayland, use thread to get when its ready
4. Create xcb connection
5. perform startup
For using the wayland QPA it needs a patch in QtWayland which will be
part of Qt 5.4.2, otherwise it blocks.
The WaylandServer is at the moment only used to support starting an
Xwayland. It does not support Wayland clients yet, so don't get
excited.
For Xwayland it's using the trick of creating the Display before the
QApplication is created with manual event dispatching.
Since XCB 1.10 the sync extension is working properly. At the time of
the 5.3 release 1.10 will have been out for ~15 months, enough time
for distros to catch up and should allow us to use it.
As our CI system only supports 1.9 at the moment we cannot hard depend
on the version, instead we use feature info. As soon as our CI system
supports it, we should update the required min version and kick out the
ifdef.

A new implementation of the Screens interface is added which uses XRandR
directly instead of relying on QDesktopWidget. The implementation is
provided in a new implementation file screens_xrandr.cpp.
XRandRScreens comes with a unit test. Unfortunately it's rather difficult
to provide a proper unit test against XRandR. Xvfb (which is obviously
used on the CI system) doesn't provide the XRandR extension. Also on a
"normal" developer system one would not want to just execute the test as
the results are not predictable (number of available outputs?) and the
test would mess up the setup resulting in nobody wanting to execute the
test.
As a solution to both problems the unit test starts Xephyr as a nested
X server. This allows to have at least some limited tests against XRandR.
Nevertheless there are a few things which I was not able to test:
* multiple outputs
* no output at all
The nested X Server approach makes the interaction rather complex. Qt
opens it's connection against the main X Server thus QX11Info provides
a wrong connection and also KWin::connection() which is heavily used by
xcbutils and thus all the RandR wrappers have the wrong connection. To
circumvent this problem the test is GUILESS. In case it would call into
any code using QX11Info, it would probably either runtime fail or crash.

we want to have only one shell and one window manager which adjust

make much sense any more. A KWin for touch interface needs to support
screenedges for the case that mouse is plugged in.

FIXED-IN: 5.2.0
With libinput we have the problem that we need to have privileges to
open the device files. In order to not need wrappers or suid bits, we
use logind. This means that kwin_wayland has to be the session controler.
A LogindIntegration is added to connect to logind and wrap the dbus
calls. This is based on the logind integration done for ksld in
ksmserver. The LogindIntegration is started by Workspace and the
InputRedirection tries to become the session controller and starts the
libinput integration only after this succeeded.
Libinput is an optional dependency for getting low level input events.
As opening the input devices requires root privs this is rather
pointless in the current state. But there is a small added test app which
can be executed with root privs to demonstrate the functionality. To
properly get input events we need a wrapper like it's used in weston.
So far the following is setup:
* opening devices found by udev
* forwarding keyboard events to InputRedirection
* forwarding pointer button events to InputRedirection
* forwarding pointer axis events to InputRedirection
* signals emitted for pointer motion events
Pointer motion events need some further work as they are provided
as delta events. We need to track that and map them properly.
Also missing are touch events due to me not having a touch screen.
It should be fairly simple to setup the touch events, though.
Also hotplugging of devices is not yet implemented.
The wayland protocols need the .c files compiled in gnu90 mode.
All known compilers used for kwin support the -std= flag, so setting it
unconditionally should be fine
REVIEW: 120231
So far this new module contains:
* Display
* OutputInterface
Display manages the server socket and server event loop. In general it's
the entry point to any part of the server.
OutputInterface is the abstraction for the wl_output interface on server
side. An OutputInterface is created through the Display.
The auto tests for ConnectionThread and Output are adjusted to use the
internal server instead of starting Weston. Especially the Output test
could be extended to test much more as we have absolute control over
the server now.
Moved from wayland_backend.[h|cpp] to buffer.[h|cpp] and
shm_pool.[h|cpp]. Buffer is slightly adjusted to have the ShmPool
passed in as a ctor argument and the ctor is private and friended with
ShmPool, so that it can only be constructed from ShmPool.
A Surface class is split out which holds a wl_surface and supports
attaching a buffer, setting the damage and emitting a signal when the
frame callback got called.
It doesn't come with a unit test yet as it first needs the ShmPool
and Buffer properly split out to easily set it up.
New classes Shell and ShellSurface are created. Both are in shell.[h|cpp]
to indicate their close relationship with the Shell having to create the
ShellSurface.
WaylandBackend is adjusted to hold a Shell* and ShellSurface* instead of
the lower level structs. This also required adjustements to the creation
of the Backend as it now doesn't set a default size any more. Thus the
backendReady signal may not be emitted before the initial configure
event arrived. This also makes it easier to support either the fullscreen
shell or wl_shell at the same time.
Of course a unit test is added for the two new classes. This needs to
be extended once we have more control over the mock Wayland server.
At the same time adding an autotest for the Output, moving the listener
into the Output class and providing enums for Subpixel and Transform.
KWin now requires wl_ouput interface version 2 as that allows us to emit
the changed signal in a better way.
The unit test is not yet capable of testing everything, we need a mock
Wayland server which is more flexible.
The FullscreenShell is a Wayland protocol provided by Weston to have
exactly one surface per output. This is exactly what KWin needs. So
in case the Wayland server we connect to provides the FullscreenShell
we prefer it over the normal Shell and mapping our surface as fullscreen.
The protocol is not yet part of wayland-client library, so the header
and source file needs to be generated. This is done during the build
process using the external tool wayland-scanner. The protocol
description is copied from the Westion 1.5 sources.

The Wayland::Registry class wraps wl_registry handling. It keeps track
of the interfaces in the registry and emits signals whenever a known
interface gets announced or removed. So far it only tracks the interfaces
which are used and needed by KWin.
The Wayland event queue is moved into a dedicated thread and a
new class is created for just creating the connection and listening
for events. The WaylandBackend creates the thread and uses an event
queue for the main thread.
REVIEW: 119761
All of kwin except the main function goes into a new (private) library
called kwin. Two new kdeinit_executables are created:
* kwin_x11
* kwin_wayland
Both only use a dedicated main_x11.cpp and main_wayland.cpp with the
main function and a KWin::Application subclass and linking the new
kwin library.
The main idea behind this is to be able to perform more sane sanity
checks. E.g. on Wayland we don't need to first test whether we can
create an X11 connection. Instead we should abort if we cannot connect
to the Wayland display. Also the multi-head checks are not needed on
Wayland, etc. etc. As most of that code is in the main function to
simplify it's better to split.
This will also make it easier to diverge more easily in future. The
Wayland variant can introduce more suited command line arguments for
example. This already started by having the --replace option only
available in X11 variant. The Wayland backend is still a window manager,
but doesn't claim the manager selection.
NOTE: this is not working completely yet, lots of code is still ifdefed
other parts are still broken.
The main difference for the new decoration API is that it is neither
QWidget nor QWindow based. It's just a QObject which processes input
events and has a paint method to render the decoration. This means all
the workarounds for the QWidget interception are removed. Also the paint
redirector is removed. Instead each compositor has now its own renderer
which can be optimized for the specific case. E.g. the OpenGL compositor
renders to a scratch image which gets copied into the combined texture,
the XRender compositor copies into the XPixmaps.
Input events are also changed. The events are composed into QMouseEvents
and passed through the decoration, which might accept them. If they are
not accpted we assume that it's a press on the decoration area allowing
us to resize/move the window. Input events are not completely working
yet, e.g. wheel events are not yet processed and double click on deco
is not yet working.
Overall KDecoration2 is way more stateful and KWin core needs more
adjustments for it. E.g. borders are allowed to be disabled at any time.
Remove the manually written GL dispatch code, and use libepoxy
to resolve functions.
The only exceptions are GLX_MESA_swap_control, which is not in
the XML API registry, and GL_ARB_robustness/GL_EXT_robustness.
For the latter we want to resolve the functions to the same names
on both GLES and desktop GL, and plug in our own implementations
when the extension is not supported.
This servers two purposes.
1. it makes KWin/5 co-installable with KWin/4 as now binary and
all libraries etc. are renamed or installed to a different
location.
2. In future we need a dedicated X11 and Wayland main function
anyway. Thus it makes most sense to rename to kwin_x11 directly
instead of first renaming to kwin5. The reason why we need to
have dedicated main functions is that kwin needs to check early
whether X11 is working or Wayland is working. Right now the first
thing kwin does is trying to connect to the XServer. This happens
before the QApplication is constructed and before command line
args are processed. On Wayland we won't want to test whether we
can connect to the XServer. As it's too early to check whether we
are starting kwin for X11 or Wayland the most convenient way is to
have dedicated binaries - thus a rename is needed. Just renaming
kwin for wayland is also not a good idea as in future the "main"
kwin will be for wayland not for X11. Another case for the dedicated
binaries is the Application class, which right now first tries to
claim the X11 Window Manager Selection. Again on Wayland even with
XWayland we won't need that. KWin will be the window manager for
XWayland if KWin is the Wayland compositor. There is no need to even
try to support anything else. Most likely it will even be KWin to
start the XWayland server, so we can be sure that there is no other
WM running and thus no need to claim the selection and abort if it
fails.

ICCCM dependency is a beast due to two different existing versions in

Effect loading gets split by the kind of effects KWin supports:
* Built-In Effects
* Scripted Effects
* Binary Plugin Effects
For this a new AbstractEffectLoader is added which will have several
sub-classes:
* BuiltInEffectLoader
* ScriptedEffectLoader
* PluginEffectLoader
* EffectLoader
The EffectLoader will be what the EffectsHandlerImpl is using and it just
delegates to the three other types of loaders. Thus the handler doesn't
need to care about the different kinds of effects. The loading is
supposed to be completely async and the EffectLoader emits a signal
whenever an Effect got loaded. The EffectsHandlerImpl is supposed to
connect to this signal and insert it into its own Effect management.
Unloading is not performed by the loader, but by the EffectsHandler.
There is one important change which needs to be implemented: the ordering
cannot be provided by the loader and thus needs to be added to the
Effects directly.
So far only the BuiltInEffectsLoader is implemented. It's not yet
integrated into the EffectsHandlerImpl, but a unit test is added which
tries to perform the various operations provided by the loader and the
BuiltInEffects. The test should cover all cases except the Check Default
functionality which is only used by Blur and Contrast effects. This
cannot be mocked yet as the GLPlatform doesn't allow mocking yet.
We don't need to protect the build system against adding extra
directories in the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH This also prepares kde-workspace
to be build with a simple CMakeLists.txt in the root directory.
XRenderUtils are split out of kwineffects and are an own library just
like kwinglutils is an own library.
The library gets always build and is linked in KWin core unconditionally
(as it's used in outline) and conditionally in kwineffects (PaintClipper)
and the built in effects depending on XRender build option.
Instead of using EffectsHandler::sendReloadMessage we generate the dbus
interface in each plugin and call the reconfigure slot directly. That way
it's more type safe and we don't need to link kwineffects from the
configs.

A new GlobalShortcutsManager is introduced which is responsible for
holding the registered shortcuts and triggering the matching action.
The InputRedirection checks with the GlobalShortcutManager whether a key
press event triggers a global shortcut and stops processing the event in

At the moment the GlobalShortcutsManager only supports the very basics
for KWin internal usage. External applications can not yet make usage of
the global shortcut system inside KWin.

* adds project(KWIN)

This is a temporary solution to have less dependencies on
KDEBASE_WORKSPACE_SOURCE_DIR. Once kde-workspace is going to be splitted
this won't work, we need a proper way to find the dbus interfaces
provided by ksmserver.
Note: for appmenu the same problem exists, but doesn't affect us once we
are splitted as we can turn off the usage through a build option. So for
a splitted kde-workspace the appmenu dependency can just be temporarily
be removed.
Major new functionality is xkbcommon support. InputRedirection holds an
instance to a small wrapper class which has the xkb context, keymap and
state. The keymap is initialied from the file descriptor we get from the
Wayland backend.
InputRedirection uses this to translate the keycodes into keysymbols and
to QString and to track the modifiers as provided by the
Qt::KeybordModifiers flags.
This provides us enough information for internal usage (e.g. pass through
effects if they have "grabbed" the keyboard).
If KWin doesn't filter out the key events, it passes them on to the
currently active Client respectively an unmanaged on top of the stack.
This needs still some improvement (not each unmanaged should get the
event). The Client/Unmnaged still uses xtest extension to send the key
events to the window. So keylogging is still possible.
So far this new class is not yet doing much. The WaylandBackend forwards
the received pointer events to this InputRedirection class. From there
signals are emitted to inform internal areas about the changes first.
The events are currently forwarded to X through the xtest extension. This
will be removed in future. Input will be forwarded directly to the
surface which wants it (no matter whether X11 or Wayland).
In order to get all our UI being written in QML, the Outline for
compositing is ported to QtQuick. It creates a QQmlContext and
QQmlComponent and loads the (currently hardcoded) qml file. The context
gets to properties exported: outline. The outline property allows the qml
to get the geometry it should use. The QQmlEngine is used from Scripting
thus all general scripting properties are exported (e.g. workspace).
The qml script is expected to create a QQuickWindow as it's root item
and style it.
The qml file is stored in a new qml subdirectory. The idea is that each
of the qml types we have gets an own directory there and for each
implementation there should be a further subdirectory.
Thus we have outline/plasma/ with outline being the type and plasma
being the implementation. But at the moment the script location is still
hardcoded.

* no dependency resolving (effects don't use it)
* remove the KWIN_EFFECT macros from the effects
All the effects are now registered in an effects_builtins file which
maps the name to a factory method and supported or enabled by default
methods.
During loading the effects we first check whether there is a built-in
effect by the given name and make a shortcut to create it through that.
If that's not possible the normal plugin loading is used.
Completely unscientific testing [1] showed an improvement of almost 10
msec during loading all the effects I use.
[1] QElapsedTimer around the loading code, start kwin five times, take
average.

This compositor uses only the QPainter API to perform rendering. The
window's X Pixmap is mapped to a QImage using XShm. As rendering backend
a QImage is used.
The new compositing type "QPainterCompositing" is introduced. Effects
need to be adjusted to explicitly check the compositing type and no
longer assume the compositing type is XRender if it's not OpenGL.
This compositor can be selected with using "Q" as the value for
KWIN_COMPOSE env variable or setting the config value to "QPainter".
The GUI is not yet adjusted to select this compositor.
The QPainter scene provides currently the following features:
* 2D transformations (translation and scalation)
* opacity modifications
* rendering of decorations (new PaintRedirector sub class)
* rendering of shadows
* rendering of effect frames
* rendering to a Wayland surface
The following features are currently not provided:
* saturation changes
* brightness changes
* 3D transformations
* rendering to X Overlay window
* offscreen rendering (e.g. needed for screen shot effect)
* custom rendering in the effects to the current back buffer
The functionality to create the connection to a Wayland compositor and
creating a fullscreen surface is moved into wayland_backend.(h|cpp). The
wl_egl_window for the surface is moved into the EglWaylandBackend to have
the actual WaylandBackend free from Egl. This will allow in future to
implement other compositing backends for Wayland which do not use egl.
This means that egl is no longer a build requirement for the wayland
related functionality.
By not using a QQuickView it becomes possible to just use a
PlasmaCore.Dialog or a Quick.Window in the TabBox qml and thus it's
possible to simplify the qml code.
To support this a new SwitcherItem is introduced and exported to QML.
It's a simple QObject providing all the properties which used to be
exported to the root context. A declarative TabBox is expected to
use one of these items. The C++ side finds the Switcher and for that
supports the case that the SwitcherItem is the rootItem or a child
item.
A declarative TabBox has also to create a QQuickWindow, e.g. a
PlasmaCore.Dialog. The visibility of that window should be controlled
through the visible property on the SwitcherItem. The underlying C++
implementation assumes that a TabBox only uses one window (it needs to
get destroyed once it's hidden and included in highlight windows).
Thanks to this change it's no longer needed to reload the TabBox
whenever it gets shown or the alternative TabBox gets shown. Instead
the same QML script can get reused. Other created switchers are ignored
as the visible property won't be changed to true.
Instead we generate an export header for kdeinit_kwin and use it
to declare the KWIN_EXPORT. With this change our libs don't include
any KDE4Support headers any more. One step closer to no KDE4Support.
It's basically a run of the port-cmake.sh script in here, mostly the changes
are the following:
- Using KF5::* targets
- Using the proper macros, following recent developments in frameworks
The xcb sync protocol is incorrectly defined (see [1]) which results in
xcb_sync_create_alarm not creating a valid alarm. To work around this
issue we only create the alarm without setting the int64 values. For
those we use the XLib XSyncChangeAlarm call after we verified that the
alarm got created. This unfortunately reintroduces linking against
libxext. But at least resizing works again.

The main purpose of the opengl testapp was to set the environment
variable LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT if direct rendering is not supported
before glx gets initialized.
With Qt5 we may no longer set this environment variable. QtQuick
requires direct rendering. On IvyBridge QtQuick is crashing if the
variable is set. Thus we are no longer allowed to set it and thus the
complete test becomes pointless.
The test app basically whitelisted most drivers anyway, the only
drivers which were problematic are the proprietary Catalyst drivers.
It that's still a problem we can also disable OpenGL compositing on
those drivers through the recommendation in the GLPlatform.
This also means that the KWIN_DIRECT_GL variable is no longer useful.
