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.

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.

Summary:
In order to separate high-level properties of individual outputs from
hardware-specific ones and access these, introduce a new generic class Output.
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.
Test Plan: Manually.

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:
So far all outputs shared the same dumb buffer for the cursor image.
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.
Test Plan: Rotated screens, moved cursor around, image properly rotated

Summary:
So far KWin does not know which Compositors the platform actually
supports. This results in KWin happily trying to use the OpenGL
compositor on fbdev or the QPainter compositor on hwcomposer although
that is obviously going to fail as the platform doesn't support this.
By adding a pure virtual method all Platforms can define what they
support. In a later step the Compositor can use this to create an
appropriate scene and also perform proper fallback handling in case the
scene creation fails.

Summary:
The gbm_surface is owned by the EglGbmBackend, but it's not the only one
using it. The DrmSurfaceBuffer is also using it and needs it to destroy
the gbm_bo. Now this can become a problem in the following situation:
* a page flip is still pending
* the EglGbmBackend destroys the gbm_surface
-> when the page flip happens the DrmSurfaceBuffer will try to destroy
the gbm_bo and crash as the gbm_surface is no longer valid. This
situation can happen when switching screens or when switching compositing
backend (OpenGL 2 -> OpenGL 3).
To address this problem a class GbmSurface is added which wrapps the
gbm_surface pointer. The EglGbmBackend creates and holds a shared pointer
to the GbmSurface and passes that one to the DrmSurfaceBuffer. So when
cleaning up the gbm_surface only the shared pointer is reset and in case
the DrmSurfaceBuffer still needs it, it can access it without problems.

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.

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.

Summary:
Some platforms support to hide and show the cursor. This will be needed
by e.g. the zoom effect which currently only provides this functionality
on X11.
This change introduces a new method in the Platform to hide and show the
cursor. The methods need to be called balanced and the implementation
takes care of only showing again if all hide got matched by a show.
The actual hiding and showing is performed in the platform plugins. So
far the DRM and X11/Standalone platforms implement the required
functionality, though other platforms probably could implement as well.

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.

Just like 4e7392b907:
the ownership of the gbm_device must be passed to the Platform as
the ownership of the EGLDisplay is also passed to the Platform and
we may not destroy the gbm_device for an EGLDisplay we are still using.
With this change I could restart the OpenGL compositor successfully
and switch from OpenGL 3.1 to OpenGL 2 without a crash or rendering
issues.
Summary:
When the pointer device gets plugged off the cursor is hidden, when
a pointer device gets plugged in the cursor is shown again.
This allows to easily turn a tablet into a proper system by showing
the cursor only when it makes sense.
