They're error prone and don't really work for changing modes. Having
a current mode in DrmConnector also doesn't work well together with
the transactional style of how DrmPipeline operates
The implicit cast effectively rounds the value down, which make the
refresh rate be different from what KScreen actually wrote.
A better fix would be to use integers instead of floating point numbers
but that needs to happen in KScreen.

While in principle Mesa should already check if the buffer can be scanned
out, this may not always work. If we can't create a framebuffer object for
the buffer, fall back to compositing.
CCBUG: 448818
Encoders are not really relevant for the test result, except that one of
the encoders for the connector must be compatible with the crtc.
The kernel usually exposes only a single encoder per connector for this
reason, but if a driver exposes multiple then that means KWin will do a
lot more tests than is necessary.
In order to prevent that from happening, do fewer syscalls and simplify
code, only check supported encoders once per connector.
19c471405e7eb4b6026db24d776d205125dbc013 introduced a regression if
there are two gbm backend and the backend fail to choose drm format.
This fix does two things:
1. Current buffer format should not be reset after create new buffer,
otherwise current.format may just be empty after resetOutput.
2. force xrgb 8888 need to be set on the primary backend.

As the placeholder output gets added or removed in response to other outputs
getting enabled or disabled, the output list may change while iterating over
them and applying changes.

As formats are per output and also checked on crtc changes, there
is no reason to restrict used formats to those that are supported
by all primary planes anymore.
When the crtcs get switched around between outputs, their primary
planes and thus the supported formats also get switched around. In
order to make sure that doesn't cause any problems, always check
whether or not the format+modifiers used are supported.
Userspace is expected to do a modeset and set link-status to good again,
if link-status gets bad. This is needed to prevent some black screen situations.

This adds support for reading values from a "Libinput/Defaults" group in
the input config file. This allows specifying global defaults for
devices, that are preferred over the libinput defaults. Because of the
cascading mechanisms of KConfig, this then allows distributions and
hardware vendors to supply system-wide defaults for devices.
Rather than an awkward combination of template functions, function
pointers and multiple calls to almost-the-same-but-not-entirely
functions, make ConfigData itself a template and use type erasure to
store them in the config map. This makes the data object aware of its
type and allows us to specialise the reading of config values through
template specialisation. It also removes the need for multiple
constructors and setters in the ConfigData object.
This change replaces abort() with Q_ASSERT and Q_UNREACHABLE() macros to
make kwin code base consistent. Besides that, Q_UNREACHABLE may
potentially provide the compiler more info that can be used to generate
more efficient machine code.
Instead of only allowing the current format, send the default tranches modified
to only contain formats and modifiers suitable for scanout.
In order to not fail when we can't do direct scanout with a given format
(because that may require a modeset, which we don't allow), keep a blacklist
of attempted formats and modifiers for the current client.
The fixed size of 1080p makes windows change their size and place. To
prevent that from happening, make the placeholder screen the same size
as the last disconnected screen.
This is not a bullet proof solution, only a fast one. Ideally KWin
should remember the window layout on a given monitor setup and restore
it when reconnected.
BUG: 447419
FIXED-IN: 5.24
On X11, if buffer age is unsupported, kwin can do some quirks like
copying parts of the front buffer to back buffer to avoid repainting the
whole screen.
Currently, the copying is performed in the opengl scene, which is not
perfect because it makes the scene responsible not only for painting the
scene but also some low level platform specific shenanigans.
This change moves the copying step to the glx and egl backends. It
simplifies the opengl scene, makes it less overloaded and more open to
changes, but it also duplicates code, which is not ideal. However, given
the de-facto deprecated state of the X11 platform, it's sort of acceptable
as the main focus is now on wayland session and the things that are
needed to make it fly as expected.
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.
Currently, if you move the cursor really fast between two outputs, there
may be stuck cursor on the previous output.
We need to query the old cursor visibility status before updating the
cursor position, otherwise the drm backend may not schedule an update to
move the cursor offscreen.
This commit does away with the special handling of the legacy cursor and
makes it be applied directly in DrmPipeline, using the same state as the
atomic cursor and without dirty flags.
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.
If eglSwapBuffers() fails, there won't be a buffer and so we need to
mark the frame as failed. Otherwise, the screen can be frozen.
eglSwapBuffers() can fail if some effect calls makeOpenGLContext()
between RenderBackend::beginFrame() and RenderBackend::endFrame(), which
is the case with the zoom effect. It can set wrong draw surface in
ZoomEffect::recreateTexture()
BUG: 445412
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.
While it could be useful with tiled displays, the isFormatSupported and
supportedModifier functions can be called before prepareModeset, so where
m_formats is still empty. Additionally they're neither in a hot path nor
performance critical.
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
systemd takes care of setting and dropping master permissions when
sending PauseDevice and ResumeDevice signals.
When the ResumeDevice signal is received, the relevant drm device should
already have master permissions set up.
On the other hand, when the active property changes, there's still a
chance that systemd haven't granted drm master permissions to us.
In case a modeset needs to be performed, the drm backend will test all
pipelines to ensure that new mode won't cause any bandwidth issues on
other outputs, etc.
To do that, it may delay presenting frames. If the new configuration
doesn't work, it needs to notify about failed frames.
However, the relevant code that notifies the RenderLoop about failed
atomic commits doesn't check if there's actually a pending modeset
present.
When switching between VTs, systemd can revoke master permissions from
kwin. To make things even more trickier, kwin can try to present a frame
in that short time span.
EffectQuickScene is not used strictly by effects, aurorae decorations
use it too to render window decorations.
This change renames the EffectQuickView/Scene to
OffscreenQuickView/Scene to clear up the naming scheme.
Fixes a crash I have with dpms + suspend, which was caused by the udev
event for updating outputs being called before the output got enabled
again. When DrmGpu::updateOutputs got called it removed the crtc from
the inactive output and then disabled the output afterwards. Instead,
only remove crtcs if an output is really disabled.
This also allows to generalize the logic for lease outputs, and could
in the future allow for faster dpms on/off switching.
This unifies frame hooks for OpenGL and QPainter render backends. There
are a couple of reasons why it's a good idea - it provides one mental
framework to start painting a frame, the Compositor will be able to
start and submit frames. The last one is very cool because it gives the
Compositor more power over compositing.
Besides unifying frame hooks, this cleans up a bit the arg naming mess
in endFrame(). As is, "damage" and "damagedRegion" are very confusing
names. "damage" arg has been renamed to "renderedRegion," because that's
what it is. The renderedRegion arg specifies the region that has been
repainted by the Scene. It's different from the damagedRegion as that
one specifies the surface damage, i.e. the difference between the
current and the next frame, while the renderedRegion may include a
region that had to be repainted to repair the back buffer. The main
reason why we need renderedRegion is the X11 platform. On Wayland, it's
unused.
In the future, we will need to extend this api with output layers.
The ifdefs for have_gbm obfuscate the code unnecessarily - the drm backend
is not a great experience with qpainter, so in practice noone should ship
it without gbm anyways.
The Compositor contains nothing that can potentially get dirty and need
repainting.
As is, the advantages of this move aren't really noticeable, but it
makes sense with multiple scenes.
Backend parts are far from ideal, they can be improved later on as we
progress with the scene redesign.
