At the moment, the buffers for wsi are allocated implicitly by the EGL
implementation, which is fine for "normal" use cases. But we start
hitting the ceiling the moment we need to something more advanced. For
example the EGL backend creates a dummy fbo object wrapping the default
framebuffer, meaning that we cannot pass it to qtquick (because it can
use its own opengl context).
Another reason for using explicit buffers is that it lets us to clean up
some output related abstractions.
find_package(Wayland) already takes of the client lib, it's needed by
the wayland backend, so BUILD_TESTING specific find_package() can be
merged with it.
Since kwin play with CAP_SYS_NICE, secure_getenv will fail for xkbcommon
to load user level xkbmap. This allows kwin to load config under
~/.config/xkb
BUG: 447206
gbm_bo_create_with_modifiers implies the GBM_BO_USE_SCANOUT flag, which
disables complex (tiled or compressed) formats that cannot be used for
scanout. This reduces performance. We don't need to scan out buffers
created for sceencasting/etc., so this is suboptimal.
By switching to gbm_bo_create_with_modifiers2, we can explicitly pass
the flags and avoid falling back to lower performance formats. Also add
a config check and fall back to the old version, to retain compatibility
with older mesa versions.
Currently, we use a timer to get notified when a frame is presented, but
there's a better way using PRESENT extension's PresentCompleteNotify events.
Note that we implicitly rely on the fact that EGL implementation uses
the PRESENT extension to present pixmaps, which is usually the case.
QPainter backend needs some adjustments.
The main motivation behind this change is to get rid of the dependency
on EGLSurface so the order in which output layers are presented or
updated doesn't matter.
At the moment, if both the cursor and the primary layers are updated
within same frame, the read and draw surfaces in present() will be wrong
for the primary layer.
With fbos, the read and draw surfaces won't matter.
It ensures that connector type naming is consistent across compositors
and saves us some work adding string mappings.
drmModeGetConnectorTypeName() uses the same naming scheme as the drm
backend so the client side should be unaffected by this change.
CCBUG: 385135
We use KWIN_NAME, KWIN_INTERNAL_NAME_X11 and KWIN_INTERNAL_WAYLAND
properly only in a few places. In other, we use hardcoded names.
Let's not bother and hardcode kwin names everywhere rather than have one
foot in and one foot out, it's simpler.
Due to being a compositor, kwin has to conform to some certain
interfaces. It means a lot of virtual functions and function tables to
integrate with C APIs. Naturally, we not always want to use every
argument in such functions.
Since we get -Wunused-parameter from -Wall, we have to plumb those
unused arguments in order to suppress compiler warnings at the moment.
However, I don't think that extra work is worth it. We cannot change or
alter prototypes in any way to fix the warning the desired way. Q_UNUSED
and similar macros are not good indicators of whether an argument is
used too, we tend to overlook putting or removing those macros. I've
also noticed that Q_UNUSED are not used to guide us with the removal no
longer needed parameters.
Therefore, I think it's worth adding -Wno-unused-parameter compiler
option to stop the compiler producing warnings about unused parameters.
It changes nothing except that we don't need to put Q_UNUSED anymore,
which can be really cumbersome sometimes. Note that it doesn't affect
unused variables, you'll still get a -Wunused-variable compiler warning
if a variable is unused.
Client-side wrappers for input-method-unstable-v1 fail to build because
wl_keyboard_interface is referenced in the header file generated by
wayland-scanner.
Unfortunately, qt6_generate_wayland_protocol_client_sources() forces
--include-core-only argument, this is addressed in Qt 6.4.1, but in
meanwhile let's ship a copy of Qt6WaylandClientMacros.cmake file until
the required Qt version is out.
In libinput 1.19, three new pointer axis events were added in order to
provide support for high-resolution scrolling.
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_AXIS is de-facto deprecated and new users of
libinput should use instead SCROLL_WHEEL, SCROLL_FINGER, and
SCROLL_CONTINUOUS.
Discrete deltas were replaced with v120 delta values. 120 corresponds to
a single discrete delta. Smaller values correspond to "partial" wheel
ticks.

At the moment, the keyboard interception code in the effects system
relies on Qt code processing key events. However, since QDesktopWidget
is removed in Qt 6, this is a blocker for Qt 6 port.
This change ports the X11 backend to private xkb keymap as indicates in
the todo comment. It allows us to drop the last QDesktopWidget usage.
It needs [1] from plasma-wayland-protocols.git or fails with
"outputmanagement_v2_interface.cpp:214:50: error:
'error_already_applied' was not declared in this scope" otherwise.

This class can be used to create an anonymous file, for instance
to pass data between compositor and clients, through means of a
file descriptor, as is done in various Wayland protocols, notably
the keymap exchange.
It also implements sealing the file, so that it can be shared
between multiple clients without them being able to modify it.
If supported, memfd_create is used, otherwise a `QTemporaryFile`
is used.

The current code has multiple index-based for loops iterating over items we get from XCB
Dealing with raw indices is error-prone and not pretty
By using std::span we can replace these loops with range-based for loops
Also remove some intermediate containers that aren't neccesary
We assume that outputs in kwinApp()->platform()->enabledOutputs() are
stored in the xinerama order. However, this is not the case on Wayland
and it's not going to be changed because it increases the complexity.
This change makes Workspace::xineramaIndexToOutput() use Xinerama
extension API to map a xinerama index to the associated Output object.
With this, Xwayland applications will be able to put on outputs as
expected.
Note that xinerama indices are not cached because
Workspace::xineramaIndexToOutput() is not used in any hot code path. If
that changes, xinerama indices can be cached. The cache must be
invalidated whenever we get screens changed notify event from RANDR.
It seems it doesn't bring much and it may backfire. Especially don't
pass GBM_BO_USE_LINEAR as it will limit a lot the buffers that can be
created and GBM_BO_USE_RENDERING use seems to be more harmful than
helpful on most cases.
