XWayland needs to create an eglDisplay for platform DRM. Depending on
the mesa version eglInitialize expects that the passed native display
is a Wayland display and crashes. This prevents KWin to startup.
This patch sets EGL_PLATFORM for Xwayland. This is actually not KWin's
job, but if it otherwise crashes it's better than nothing.
As Xwayland only supports DRM, it's fine to use this.
Summary:
The idea behind this mode is to support applications like spectacle
(see T4458). The calling application passes a file descriptor (created
through e.g. a pipe) and the screenshot effect writes the captured image
into that fd.
The advantage over the existing variant which writes to a file in the
/tmp directory is that this is peer-to-peer between the requesting
application and KWin. No other application can get to that image.
The change also includes setting SIGPIPE to ignore. It showed that when
the reading side already cancelled the read prior to KWin writing out
the image we get a SIGPIPE which results in application termination,
which is not what we want in case of a Wayland compositor. The sigpipe
can be ignored as Qt (and libpng) handles that error just fine at
runtime.

Summary:
The QStyle might interact with our internal Wayland connection. If the
cleanup happens after destroying our internal Wayland connection KWin
will crash at tear-down.
With this change the QStyle can perform cleanup already prior to the
deconstruction of the Wayland connection.

Summary:
If KWin fails to start the Wayland server due to XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not
being set, kwin_wayland should terminate with an error condition but
not crash.
This change makes sure that KWin detects that the Wayland server does
not work and terminates the startup early and ensures that it doesn't
crash while going down.
An error message is shown that we could not create the Wayland server.
Test Plan:
Test case added which verifies that WaylandServer fails to
init. Manual testing that kwin_wayland exits with error 1.

Summary:
kwin_wayland disables ptrace on itself. This has the side effect of
core dumps no longer be created - which we want as DrKonqi doesn't
work for kwin_wayland.
This change introduces a dedicated signal handler for abort and
segfault. The signal handler enables ptrace again, unsets itself as
signal handler and raises the signal again, so that the proper crash,
abort handling can be performed.
Test Plan:
Added a crash, added an abort and verified that coredumpctl
shows the expected coredump.

Summary:
The idea is to have KWin provide a virtual keyboard. To support this
KWin uses the QT_IM_MODULE qtvirtualkeyboard and makes sure that the
QPA plugin loads it.
KWin has a new class VirtualKeyboard which acts as the focus object and
the "proxy" for input methods. The QPA plugin ensures that this is the
focusObject, so that all input method related events are sent to this
class. From there it will be possible to delegate to other applications
through the Wayland interfaces.

Summary:
Similar to[[ https://phabricator.kde.org/D1216 | D1216 ]] add procctl call to disable ptrace on FreeBSD.
We cannot do the procfs-lookup to check whether the process is already being run inside gdb -- however, on FreeBSD, we could use the P_TRACED flag of the process to figure this out:
> sys/proc.h:#define P_TRACED 0x00800 /* Debugged process being traced. */
And the code would look something similar to
```
pid_t pid = getpid();
struct procstat *prstat = procstat_open_sysctl();
struct kinfo_proc *procinfo;
unsigned int cnt;
procinfo = procstat_getprocs(prstat, KERN_PROC_PID, pid, &cnt);
long p_flags = procinfo->ki_flag;
int p_traced = p_flags & P_TRACED;
if (p_traced != P_TRACED) {
mode = PROC_TRACE_CTL_DISABLE;
procctl(P_PID, getpid(), PROC_TRACE_CTL, &mode);
}
procstat_freeprocs(prstat,procinfo);
procstat_close(prstat);
```
But as wayland is [far] in the future on FreeBSD, and that check above is a bit lengthy, I think it is enough if we add it once it is needed.

Summary:
This change ensures that kwin_wayland does not pull in KCrash. We
don't want and need KCrash in the Wayland case. If KWin crashes the
session goes down - restarting doesn't make any sense, we need to
relogin.
Similar drkonqi just doesn't work as it doesn't have a windowing
system to connect to. After all the windowing system just crashed.
Also the AlternativeWM dialog doesn't make any sense on Wayland.
Similar thought: there is no windowing system to show this nice dialog.
Overall it's better to have system default behavior
(e.g. systemd-coredump) than using KCrash in the very special case of
kwin_wayland.

CI system shows that on tear down an effect might call into Workspace
after it's destroyed. Unloading all effects prior to deleting Workspace
should(TM) fix that. Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce the problem
locally, so build.kde.org needs to verify.
So far if the Scene creation failed kwin_wayland went into a shutdown,
but didn't succeed because the thread to start Xwayland was already
running: it froze.
This change introduces a new signal in Compositor: sceneCreated. The
startup of Xwayland is bound to this signal. If it gets fired KWin can
startup Xwayland. If it does not get fired, KWin terminates correctly.
Summary:
This is the first change in a refactoring series. The aim is to:
* rename AbstractBackend to Platform
* move backends/ to plugins/platforms/
* don't bind platforms to Wayland only
* provide a platform plugin for "normal" X11
* share more code between X11 and Wayland
This change moves the platform/backend from waylandServer to Application.
The init of the plugin happens directly in the Application from the
KPluginMetaData. There is no need to externally init it and set the
parent.
WaylandServer::backend() currently just delegates to
kwinApp()->platform(), the idea is to drop this method completely.
The test infrastructure is also adjusted to this change.
Test Plan: kwin_wayland still works, all tests pass

This change enables kactivities integration by default again on both
X11 and Wayland (as kactivities no longer blocks). As we have an
infrastructure to disable kactivities we can also make use of it and
offer a command line switch to disable kactivities. This might be
useful for using KWin outside of Plasma.

In order to increase the security we disable ptrace on kwin_wayland.
This makes it impossible for a another process running as the same
user to attach to kwin_wayland to install a key logger. It doesn't
protect against higher privileged users, but that's no problem: they
can just read the input device file and don't need to attach to KWin
to become a key logger.
This change is highly inspired by a similar change to kscreenlocker.
A difference is that KWin checks whether we are running under a
debugger. In such a case we still want to allow ptrace.
This is similar to the applications to start. That is the value of the
command line argument is interpreted as a command to start.
The difference is that when this application exits, KWin will also quit.
The argument is so to say interpreted as a session.

Ensures that all Wayland objects are destroyed and the cleanup handling
is performed before tearing down the Compositor. This fixes for example
a crash if a Surface with a Shadow is still around at tear down.
WaitForFinished blocks our main thread, but Xwayland wants to talk
to Wayland and blocks as well. So let's ensure events are processed
while terminating Xwayland.
Some effects do X11 calls in their cleanup code through external
libraries (e.g. KSelectionOwner). As we cannot control that we need
to ensure the effects are unloaded prior to destroying the Xwayland
connection.
We need to destroy the ClientConnections we create. Also we need
to disconnect our Xwayland error handling before destroying it, otherwise
it would trigger the abort for crashing Xwayland.
During Compositor tear down Xwayland is already destroyed. Thus it
doesn't make sense to try to delete the support properties: either
it freezes in xcb or it crashes because the connection is null.
At the same time we also ensure that the connection internally is
reset to null. Note: the one in kwinglobals.h caches and could cause
use-after-free errors. Any tear-down code must be migrated to
kwinApp()->x11Connection().
We need to destroy the compositor after Xwayland terminated and after
the internal Wayland connection is destroyed. This means when destroying
the Workspace we may no longer destroy the Compositor at the same time.
Also we need to ensure that other tear down functionality doesn't call
into the no longer existing internal client connection.
With this change kwin doesn't crash when exiting with Wayland and/or
X11 windows still open.

We only need to force QT_QPA_PLATFORM to be our own plugin when starting

We already unset QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO to ensure to keep out of
high dpi scaling. Now with Qt 5.6 we also need to set the attribute.
Without we crash on startup as we don't have a screen that early and
well Qt doesn't check whether it's null.
The change to reflect the available plugins in the command line options
had side effects as that made it impossible to start KWin if certain
plugins are not available.
This change ensures that we only check the option value if they are set
in the first place.
In addition the multi checks to verify whether combinations are valid
is removed as that makes in reality no sense any more (only few plugins
installed by distros) and doesn't scale any more with the increasing
numbers of backends.
A new backend which doesn't present the rendered output. It uses a
QPainter scene, renders to a QImage but doesn't present it anywhere.
Thus a real virtual backend.
By exporting the environment variable KWIN_WAYLAND_VIRTUAL_SCREENSHOTS
the backend creates a temporary dir, prints the path to std-out and
saves each rendered frame into that directory. Of course with exit it
will be deleted again.
As distributions do not ship all plugins let's try to filter the options
based on the plugins which are actually available. There is no point in
allowing e.g. framebuffer just to notice then that the plugin is not
shipped ending in confusing error for the user. So let's only add the
options which actually make sense.
Distributions do package each backend plugin in a dedicated package,
which means just because KWin got compiled with a specific backend,
doesn't mean it is also available at runtime.
In order to better support this reality this change introduces a
list-backends command line option. Each of the plugins got the json
metadata extended by the KPlugin syntax, so that we have a name and
description to print.
As we already locate all plugins anyway, the additional findPlugins for
the selected backend is changed to search the list of all plugin meta
data.
We no longer need to have the event dispatcher created before starting
the QApplication, thus we can leave it to the QPA plugin to creat it.
Also we don't need to implement our own dispatcher any more but can
use one from Qt5PlatformSupport as we link it anyways. The special
need for dispatching the WaylandServer is no longer needed as we can
explicitly dispatch it from the QPA plugin if needed.
Our QPA plugin does not require a running Wayland server at startup,
so we can move the startup after creating the application.
Nice side effect: --help works now.
