This commit makes 10 bits per color channel the default color depth, which
should reduce banding on outputs that support color formats with more than
8 bits per color channel. In order to support this the commit also removes
the dependency of the EglGbmBackend on a specific format and EglConfig and
instead makes those per-Output properties.
The cursor being set out-of-band with atomic commits creates problems
because it can create false positive for atomic tests, if the cursor
state gets changed in between an atomic test and its matching commit.
This commit also ports the cursor to a swapchain instead of only one
image. This is not strictly required but may prevent artifacts and
will be needed for future optimisations.
dmabuf-feedback allows the compositor to give the clients better feedback on what
formats and modifiers they should use, and for which device they should allocate.
This way they can reallocate for scanout whenever the compositor tells them to,
which makes direct scanout work for a lot more devices and applications.
Whether or not we want to use explicit modifiers for our surfaces doesn't
matter for what format+modifiers drm planes support. This way direct scanout
works by default, without having to explicitly enable modifiers
Currently KWin is combining modesets with presentation, which causes problems
when multiple monitors are used and crtcs need to be switched around, because
taking away a CRTC from another output causes the driver to disable the
other output. In order to avoid such problems, delay presentation until
all pipelines are ready to present and then do a modeset with a single atomic
commit. To process the resulting page flip events properly this commit also
ports KWin to page_flip_handler2 and changes how the pageFlipped and
notifyFrameFailed signals are processed.
This improves file organization in kwin by putting backends in a single
directory.
It also makes easier to discover kwin's low level components for new
contributors because the plugins directory may come as the last place to
look for. When one hears "plugin", the first thing that comes to mind is
regular plugins, not low level backends.
