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:
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:
The color correction manager doesn't make any specific assumptions about
underlying platform, e.g. whether it's x11, etc. The platform just
has to be capable of setting gamma ramps. Given that, there are no any
significant technical blockers for making this feature work on x.

Summary:
With the new Output class we can set the gamma directly here. This is also
a stepping stone to adjust individual output gamma adjustment later on.
This means any future backend, which aims to support the color correction
frontend needs to use the Output class.
Test Plan: Night Color test still passes.

With Wayland KWin needs to provide certain services, which were provided
before that by the Xserver. One of these is gamma correction, which includes
the - by many people beloved - functionality to reduce the blue light at
nighttime. This patch provides the KWin part of that. It is self contained,
but in the end will work in tandem with a lib in Plasma Workspace and a KCM
in Plasma Desktop, which can be used to configure Night Color.
* Three modi:
** Automatic: The location and sun timings are determined automatically
(location data updates will be provided by the workspace)
** Location: The sun timings are determined by fixed location data
** Timings: The sun timings are set manually by the user
* Color temperature value changes are smoothly applied:
** Configuration changes, which lead to other current values are changed
in a quick way over a few seconds
** Changes on sunrise and sunset are applied slowly over the course of few
minutes till several hours depending on the configuration
* The current color value is set immediately at startup or after suspend
phases and VT switches. There is no flickering.
* All configuration is done via a DBus interface, changed values are tested
on correctness and applied atomically
* Self contained mechanism, speaks directly to the hardware by setting the
gamma ramps on the CRTC
* Currently working on DRM backend, extensible to other platform backends in
the future
* The code is written in a way to make the classes later easily extendable to
also provide normal color correction, as it's currently done by KGamma on X
Test Plan:
Manually with the workspace parts and added integration tests in KWin using
the virtual backend.

Summary:
The addition of the test infrastructure is motivated by the regressions
caused by adding mode switching and transformation support.
A contributing factor to these regression is the fact that the DRM
platform does not have any tests. It is difficult to test this code as
it needs to work with hardware, thus we cannot use the real DRM library.
Instead we need to use mocking.
This change sets up some first basic tests with the help of a mockDrm
library. In order to better test the code as units the Drm classes are
slightly refactored. Most importantly the dependency to DrmBackend is
removed wherever possible and replaced by a simple int fd which is mostly
the only element used by the classes.
This first test introduces basic testing of a DrmObject. It is intended
to extend this to at least also test DrmPlane as a central piece of our
Drm platform plugin. This will also extend the tests of DrmObject.

This patch makes the AMS execution path work with the new DrmCrtc and
DrmBuffer structure and solves major issues about:
* VT switching
* DPMS
* Hot plugging
* Logout
* Memory leaks
Test Plan:
Tested with Gl and QPainter.

Split off GBM based buffers to a separate file, which gets only included,
when GBM is available.
Note, that this also removes the gbmCallback, since already before this
patch we did delete the buffers always without it.
The plan is to later use this file for via GBM directly imported Wayland
buffers as well.
Test Plan:
Tested with Gl and QPainter backends.

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.

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.
