Summary:
The feature has always been considered experimental. Unfortunately it is
completely unmaintained and hasn't seen any commits in years. It
requires kolor-manager to function, but that has not seen a release
based on frameworks yet. This makes it difficult to maintain. In fact I
have never been able from the introduction till now to setup a color
corrected system. One needs kolor-manager and oyranos and especially the
latter is hardly available on any linux distribution (e.g. not on the
Debian/Ubuntu systems).
Due to being unmaintained color correction in KWin did not keep up with
recent changes. Neither did it see any updates during the xlib->xcb
port, nor during the Wayland port. Especially the Wayland port with the
rendering changes make it unlikely to function correctly. E.g. Wayland
introduced a proper per-screen rendering, while color correction did a
"fake" per screen rendering. How that is going to work in combination is
something nobody ever tried. Now after the introduction of proper
per-screen rendering the solution would be to port color correction to
the new api, but that never happened.
Color correction also modified the shaders, but a newer shader API got
introduced some time ago. Whether the color correction shader support
that or not, is unknown to me. Also which shader language versions are
supported. I know it was based on 3d texture support, which back on
introduction was partially lacking in OpenGL ES. Nowadays that changed,
but color correction didn't update.
Last but not least it is completely X11 based and there is no work on
how to make it work with Wayland.
Given all the problems, especially the fact that it is unmaintained and
cannot be setup on my system, means to me that the only solution is to
remove it.
I'm open to having it reintroduced in future, but only if the
availability on Linux distributions gets addressed before. As long as
major linux distributions do not ship this feature, it should not be in
KWin. Given that I must say that it was a mistake to add it in the first
place and I need to point out that I was against the merge back then.

Summary:
Glx extensions are only interesting to the glxbackend. Given that
querying can be moved there.
In order to simplify the extensions can be stored in the OpenGLBackend
which also provides the convenience check as before.
The egl platforms should also be adjusted to query in that way and
remove it from the kwinglutils.
There is still a usage of the glxextensions inside kwinglutils to
resolve one function. That should also be moved into the platform.

Summary:
If a buffer gets destroyed the texture created from it is still valid.
In such a situation the OpenGLWindowPixmap should return true for isValid
and not false as it did. Similar in QPainter compositor the pixmap is
valid if there is an image copied from the buffer.
This change ensures that for example minimizing an XWayland window
still has a texture during the minimize animation.
BUG: 368440
Test Plan:
Minimize animation plays for X windows and minimized windows
are shown in present windows.

Summary:
A new method to tell the effects system whether the compositor scene
is able to drive animations. E.g. on software emulation (llvmpipe) it's
better to not do any animations at all.
This information can be used by effects to adjust their behavior, e.g.
PresentWindows could skip transitions or effects can use it in their
supported check to completely disable themselves.
As a first step all scripted effects are considered to be unsupported
if animations are not supported. They inherit AnimationEffect and are
all about driving animations.
The information whether animations are supported comes from the Scene.
It's implemented in the following way:
* XRender: animations are always supported
* QPainter: animations are never supported
* OpenGL: animations are supported, except for software emulation
In addition - for easier testing - there is a new env variable
KWIN_EFFECTS_FORCE_ANIMATIONS to overwrite the selection.

Summary:
It's only needed by the standalone x11 variant. This allows us to
simplify the creation of the OpenGLBackend: it's created by the
platform plugin - we don't need custom complex logic.

The screen projection matrix is needed if an effect wants to customize
the modelview projection matrix while rendering a window and keeping
the currently applied screen projection and transformation.
For both simple and generic rendering the projection is actually the
same. So let's create it at the start of the frame rendering which
allows us to also pass it through the effects.
All backends already have an init method so far called from the ctor.
This change moves the call to init out of the OpenGL backends and makes
it the responsibility of the creating code to also call init on the
backend.
This change makes it easier to have virtual methods being called during
the initialization.
For a virtual rendering backend a surfaceless context is needed. Such
a context may not call glDrawBuffer as that results in a GL error.
This change allows the OpenGLBackend to announce that it's context is
surfaceless.
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 complete rendering is now splitted per output including present which
means that we only need to make the context per output current once per
rendering.
Unfortunately our architecture does not properly support gathering the
damage for multiple outputs. In fact the damage information is lost after
the first output got rendered. Thus we currently only support buffer age
for the first output, on other outputs full repaints are caused.
For each DrmOutput a gbm_surface and EglSurface is created. When
rendering per screen the context is made current on each of the
surfaces.
Note: viewport handling needs to be improved by e.g. passing through
the scene to restore to correct viewport after dropping an FBO.
Furthermore it seems like buffer age is not working correctly in this
setup (not overly surprising).
Dynamic changes are not yet supported.
EglWaylandBackend gains support for creating textures from a
BufferInterface. At the same time it loses the possibility to use
the Xcb shm extension to load the texture. That is Xwayland is
required.
In order to support it in a better way the WindowPixmap is passed
to the Texture for loading and updating. Which is then passed to the
backend specific implementation.
Effects currently modify the matrices by reading back the uniform
values from the shader they assume will be used to paint the window,
set new values for the uniforms, call paintWindow(), and then restore
the uniforms to their previous values.
This is both slow and unreliable, and will not work with dynamically
generated shaders.
This patch solves the problem by putting the matrices in
WindowPaintData and making it the responsibility of the paintWindow()
implementation to set the uniforms.
The DecorationShadow supports the concept of sharing shadows between
multiple Decorations and this is supported by our Shadow class. But
still the created GLTextures were not shared.
This change introduces a sharing mechanismn for all GLTextures created
for a DecorationShadow. Thus if two decorations share the same
DecorationShadow they will also share the same GLTexture.
Register a callback function for debug output when KHR_debug or
ARB_debug_output is supported.
Only error messages and warnings about undefined behavior are
enabled in release builds, while all debug messages are enabled
in debug builds.
Move the buffer-swap-pending state from the compositing backends to
the Compositor class. The Compositor is the only class that needs to
access the state, and this way it to do it without calling through
a chain of virtual functions. This commit adds two new functions to
Compositor; aboutToSwapBuffers() and bufferSwapComplete(). The
backends call these functions to set and reset the buffer-swap-pending
state.
This commit also renames a number of functions and variables to make
their meaning clear.
The act of promoting the contents of the back buffer to become the
contents of the front buffer is referred to as posting the buffer,
presenting the buffer, or swapping the buffers; rendering the buffer
is what paintScreen() does.
Create and import X sync fences into GL and use them to synchronize
the kwin command stream with the X command stream.
This prevents damaged windows from being composited by kwin before
the rendering that triggered the damage events have finished on
the GPU.
Requires GL_EXT_x11_sync_object.

This adds a SceneOpenGL::Texture::load(..., xcb_visualid_t) overload,
and uses it to bind window pixmaps to textures.
By taking the RGBA masks in the visual into account when choosing an
FBConfig for the GLXPixmap, we are able to disambiguate formats that
have the same depth, such as GL_RGB10_A2 and GL_RGBA8.
The Renderer gets reparented to the Deleted. While passing it to
the Deleted the Scene's implementation can ensure that the buffers
are up to date. After passing to Deleted it's no longer allowed to
call the render method.
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.
The left and right border images are rotated 90° before they are
uploaded into the atlas texture. The images are separated by a row
of transparent texels to minimize artifacts from oversampling.
With this change kwin renders the whole decoration with a single
call to glDrawArrays().
KWin already has a de facto OpenGL 2 dependency through QML. Combined
with the fact that the OpenGL 1 backend is basically unmaintained and
also unused, it's better to remove it for the new major release.
This change includes:
* Removal of cmake option KWIN_BUILD_OPENGL_1_COMPOSITING
* Removal of KWIN_HAVE_OPENGL_1 compile option and all code
ifdef'ed with it (partially removal of if-else constructs)
* Removal of CompositingType::OpenGL1Compositing (flags are kept
as a core flag should get introduced)
* Driver recommendation for OpenGL1Compositing changed to XRender
(should be evaluated whether the drivers can provide GL2)
* Removal of configuration option "GLLegacy"
* Removal of fooMatrix function in kwinglutils
* Removal of ARBBlurShader
* Removal of legacy code path in GLVertexBuffer
* Removal of GLShaderManager::disable
* if-blocks with ShaderManager::instance()->isValid() removed

Only the X based Scenes need an overlay window, so the Compositor doesn't
need to check for it in the Wayland case.
OverlayWindow is moved from OpenGLBackend to the sub classes which need
to provide it.
The egl wayland backend registers for the callback for a rendered frame.
This allows to throttle KWin's compositor so that we don't render frames
which wouldn't end up on the screen.
For this the Scene provides a method to query whether the last frame got
rendered. By default this returns true in all backends. The Egl Wayland
backend returns true or false depending on whether the callback for the
last frame was recieved.
In case the last frame has not been renderd when performCompositing is
tried to be called, the method returns just like in the case when the
overlay window is not visible. Once the frame callback has been recieved
performCompositing is invoked again.
