They would override KScreen in case we were using a dock station that
brings 2 displays.
We'd get:
- udev: event for the first hotplughed screen
- kwin: process all screens properly (both)
- kscreen: would offer the right configuration for such displays
- udev: process the event for the second hotplug udev event
- kwin: restore the configuration
- kscreen: would think this is a conscious decision and embrace it as a
configuration
With this change we are only re-reading the configuration in case the
outputs changed.
When dragging files on the desktop, the cursor image might be just too
big for the cursor plane, in which case we need to abandon hardware
cursors for a brief moment and use a software cursor. Once the files
have been dropped and the cursor image is small enough, we can go back
to using hw cursors.
BUG: 424589
Currently, if there is no pointer, only the hardware cursor will be
hidden. If the software cursor is forced, you are going to see a dead
immovable cursor.
If a cursor animation is driven purely by frame callbacks and kwin
uses hardware cursors, the cpu usage may spike to 100%.
This change addresses that issue by sending frame callbacks after a
compositing cycle has been performed.
On some devices, the GPU nodes are also added as /dev/dri/cardX, they
are not useful for KMS purposes and does not have display resources.
If we encounter such cards, then skip them.
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.
It is possible for updateOutputs to be called when a pageflip is pending.
Freeing a DrmOutput with a pending pageflip is not allowed (see ~DrmOutput assert - the page flip handler will be called on the freed memory, possibly leading to use-after-free).
This works around the problem by delaying the destruction with teardown().

Summary:
This patch further refines output management.
We go now through AbstractWaylandOutput virtual functions to enable and
disable outputs.
Dpms changes and enablement switches use separate code paths at start in the
Drm backend code since they are similar but not the directly same. Common code
is shared though, functions are renamed accordingly.
Asserts have been put in place to better understand and check the control
flow. A seemingly unnecessary call to DrmOutput::pageFlipped on reactivation
after Vt switch has been removed to allow for that.
In future patches we need to look additionally at the legacy mode switching
code path which was and is still not working and better handling of the
current monitor Dpms state. For example a monitor being switched off is not
properly acted on and the workspace still expanded.
Test Plan:
With one and two monitors:
* Dpms off/on
* Vt switches
* Screen disable/enable

Summary:
This lifts the enablement code for outputs from the DRM backend to Platform
allowing other Wayland backends in the future to use this interface as well.
To do that we also create some helper functions on Platform level and have to
spill some KWayland classes into AbstractOutput what motivates a further split
of Platform into a Wayland child class like for AbstractOutput.
Test Plan: Disabled and enabled an output in DRM session.

Summary:
Since we now use in the backends the OutputDeviceInterface for output data
all access must be complete before the Wayland server goes down. For that
introduce a new function to prepare shutdown in the backends.

Qt's object system leading to crashes on double free.

Summary:
This is the initial implementation of a DRM backend based on the EGLDevice,
EGLOutput, and EGLStream extensions, supporting NVIDIA graphics hardware using
their proprietary driver. The new backend will be used if the environment
variable KWIN_DRM_USE_EGL_STREAMS is set. On initialization, it will attempt to
create an EGLDevice based on the DRM device currently in use and create
EGLOutputs and EGLStreams for any attached displays. These are used to control
presentation of the final composited frame. Additionally, it will register the
wl_eglstream_controller Wayland interface so that native EGL windows created by
clients can be attached to an EGLStream allowing buffer contents to be shared
with the compositor as a GL texture.
At this time there are two known bugs in the NVIDIA driver's EGL implementation
affecting desktop functionality. The first can result in tooltip windows drawn
by plasmashell to contain incorrect contents. The second prevents KWayland from
being able to query the format of EGLStream-backed buffers which interferes
with the blur effect. Fixes for both of these are currently in development and
should appear in an upcoming NVIDIA driver release.
Additionally, hardware cursors are currently not supported with this backend.
Enabling them causes the desktop to intermittently hang for several seconds.
This is also likely a bug in the NVIDIA DRM-KMS implementation but the root
cause is still under investigation.
Test Plan:
On a system with an NVIDIA graphics card running a recent release of their
proprietary driver
* Ensure the nvidia_drm kernel module is loaded with the option "modeset=1"
("# cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset" should print "Y")
* Ensure EGL external platform support is installed
https://github.com/NVIDIA/eglexternalplatform
* Ensure KWin was build with the CMake option
KWIN_BUILD_EGL_STREAM_BACKEND=ON (this is the default)
* Start a plasma wayland session with the environment variable
KWIN_DRM_USE_EGL_STREAMS set
* Ensure output from KWin OpenGL initialization indicates the NVIDIA EGL
driver is in use (as opposed to Mesa / llvmpipe).
* Desktop should be fully functional and perform smoothly.

Summary:
If hardware cursor support is not available when using the drm backend for
Wayland compositing, the software cursor texture will not be updated when the
cursor image changes, and it will still be drawn when no cursor image is set
(such as when running a full-screen game). Furthermore, the drmModeSetCursor
and drmModeMoveCursor functions will still be unnecessarily called when the
cursor is moved or hidden.
To correct this, SceneOpenGL should connect Platform::cursorChanged as opposed
to Cursor::cursorChanged to its texture update function, as only the former
will be emitted when the cursor is updated and the compositor should check if
the cursor is hidden and the software cursor image is not null before rendering
it. DrmBackend::moveCursor and DrmBackend::hideCursor should also return
immediately if using a software cursor.

Summary:
On Wayland we cannot switch from OpenGL to QPainter compositor as this
would break any running OpenGL application. KWin registers it's
EGLDisplay to Wayland and without OpenGL this doesn't make sense any
more. We are not able to render OpenGL buffers in the QPainter
compositor.
While it's theoretically possible to switch from QPainter to OpenGL it
doesn't make any sense for the same reason. Any running OpenGL
application would be using llvmpipe and could not be switched to proper
OpenGL.
This change stores the selected compositing type in Platform and the
implementations can use it to restrict the supported compositors. On X11
we don't need this, all other Platforms implement the restriction. Thus
it's no longer possible to switch the backends at runtime.
Test Plan:
Adjusted tests run, no runtime test as gui doesn't support
switching to QPainter anyway.

In order to separate high-level properties of individual outputs from

Also make the DrmOutput class directly a child class of this generic class.
The long-term goal is to get rid of the Screens global object on Wayland and
instead directly work with Output objects on compositing level.
This should enable us long-term to do direct scanout to hardware planes, what
I predict needs this generic output representation at one point.

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 doesn't work any more when screen rotation is enabled. For rotated
screens the cursor image per output is different. On some it might be
rotated, on some not.
To solve this problem the dumb buffers are moved from the DrmBackend to
the DrmOutput. The DrmOutput now creates the cursor images itself and
can rotate them if needed. Thus we get nicely transformed cursors.
