KWin used the wrong event dispatcher: QEventDispatcherUNIX insted of
QUnixEventDispatcherQPA. This caused QWindow related events never to
be send to their destination. Which is one of the reasons why KWin's
own windows are not shown at all.
As we cannot easily use QUnixEventDispatcherQPA we do the same as
that class. Inherit from QEventDispatcherUNIX and call into
QWindowSystemInterface::sendWindowSystemEvents.
The idea for this base class is to provide access to all elements which
make up a managed "Client" being it X11 or Wayland. They share a lot,
like they have a caption, they can be minimized, etc. etc.
Of course it would have also been possible to derive a new class from
Client, but that looks like the more difficult task as Client is very
X11 specific.
So far only a very small interface is extracted with pure-virtual
methods. This is going to change by moving the functionality up into
the AbstractClient.
The interface extracted so far is inspired by the usage of FocusChain
and users of FocusChain.
The ShellClient is a Toplevel subclass for a
KWayland::Server::ShellSurfaceInterface. It gets created when a new
ShellSurfaceInterface is created and destoryed when it gets unmapped.
So far the usage is still rather limited. The ShellClient is opened
at position (0/0). While it's possible to pass pointer events to it,
it's not yet possible to activate it, so no keyboard focus.
This backend interacts with libhybris to create a hwcomposer which is
used for creating the egl context and surface. The initial version of
this backend is based on test_hwcomposer.cpp provided by libhybris.
Please note that using the hwcomposer backend requires a newer libepoxy,
the latest stable release is not able to bring up OpenGLES, so one needs
a master build of libepoxy.
Notes on licensing:
libhybris is Apache 2.0 licensed, which is not compatile with GPLv2.
But it is compatible with GPLv3. Thus the source files in the hwcomposer
backend are licensed GPLv3+ and not GPLv2+ as the rest of KWin. If one
uses KWin without the hwcomposer backend (which is obviously the default)
the licence doesn't change. But if the hwcomposer backend is used the
overall license of KWin changes to GPLv3+.
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 aim is to be able to create a plugin for each of the backends.
The following directories are created:
* backends/drm
* backends/fbdev
* backends/wayland
* backends/x11
Uses EGL_MESA_platform_gbm to get an EglDisplay from a gbm_device.
The DrmBackend can provide a DrmBuffer for a gbm_surface and present
it.
Unfortunately buffer age seems to be slightly broken and we still have
artefacts.
Introduces a new (optional) dependency: libdrm.
The DrmBackend currently supports finding the first connected output.
It can create shared memory buffers which are used by SceneQPainter to
do double buffered rendering.
There is still lots to do, the following things are not yet working:
* multiple outputs
* page flip
* OpenGL (through gbm)
* restoring mode setting to start value
A new Singleton VirtualTerminal is added. It interacts with Logind to
get the VTNr to take over. To get the signal to release and acquire the
VT we use a signalfd with a QSocketNotifier to monitor for signals. The
used signals must be blocked for all threads prior to startup otherwise
they are delivered to secondary threads causing issues.
Adapt to API changes introduced by b62e8888cd39301e00ad98dfe791fa66676408fb.
It adds DecoratedClient::color(group, role) for getting colors that are
not included in QPalette. Breeze used to read these colors from
kdeglobals, breaking per window color schemes. KWin now handles reading
these colors along with QPalette loading with DecorationPalette.

We released three versions with it being disabled and it doesn't look
like it will come back any time soon. Also the build was broken at least
since the repo splitting due to incorrect path to dbus xml.
In addition the connection to decorations got dropped already with the
change to kdecoration2. Which means it anyway needs large adjustements
to get the code working again.
Overall it doesn't look like it makes lots of sense to keep the code
around for someone working on it in future. If that happens this change
can be reverted.
The AbstractBackend registers itself in the WaylandServer allowing
external users to easily get to the backend and not needing to test
manually which backend is used.
There's quite some overlap and duplicated code. This AbstractEglBackend
tries to merge the two backends a little bit again.
This also introduces an AbstractEglTexture which supports both X11 and
Wayland "pixmaps" so that EglOnXBackend can support Wayland buffers.
Adds optional dependency to X11_XCB and gets used in X11WindowedBackend
to create an XLib Display if dependency is present.
This allows to create an EGL backend for the X11WindowedBackend.
This new backend allows to start a kwin_wayland server nested on an
X-Server by using a normal X11 window as output. This allows testing
kwin_wayland without needing to start another Wayland server first.
The behavior is triggered by using new command line arguments:
--windowed
--x11-display=<:0>
With optional --width and --height arguments.
In this mode the WaylandBackend is not created at all.
So far the backend is not fully integrated yet and only the QPainter
backend supports this mode.
This reorders the startup sequence quite a bit:
1. Create QAbstractEventDispatcher and install it on QCoreApplication
2. Create Application
3. Start Xwayland, use thread to get when its ready
4. Create xcb connection
5. perform startup
For using the wayland QPA it needs a patch in QtWayland which will be
part of Qt 5.4.2, otherwise it blocks.
The WaylandServer is at the moment only used to support starting an
Xwayland. It does not support Wayland clients yet, so don't get
excited.
For Xwayland it's using the trick of creating the Display before the
QApplication is created with manual event dispatching.
Since XCB 1.10 the sync extension is working properly. At the time of
the 5.3 release 1.10 will have been out for ~15 months, enough time
for distros to catch up and should allow us to use it.
As our CI system only supports 1.9 at the moment we cannot hard depend
on the version, instead we use feature info. As soon as our CI system
supports it, we should update the required min version and kick out the
ifdef.

Straight forward port from XLib based XCursor library to the
xcb variant which is considerably new. The xcb variant only allows
to create xcb_cursor_t for the default theme and size. Which suits
the needs in Cursor quite well, but means it's not a replacement for
the usage in zoom effect.

A new implementation of the Screens interface is added which uses XRandR
directly instead of relying on QDesktopWidget. The implementation is
provided in a new implementation file screens_xrandr.cpp.
XRandRScreens comes with a unit test. Unfortunately it's rather difficult
to provide a proper unit test against XRandR. Xvfb (which is obviously
used on the CI system) doesn't provide the XRandR extension. Also on a
"normal" developer system one would not want to just execute the test as
the results are not predictable (number of available outputs?) and the
test would mess up the setup resulting in nobody wanting to execute the
test.
As a solution to both problems the unit test starts Xephyr as a nested
X server. This allows to have at least some limited tests against XRandR.
Nevertheless there are a few things which I was not able to test:
* multiple outputs
* no output at all
The nested X Server approach makes the interaction rather complex. Qt
opens it's connection against the main X Server thus QX11Info provides
a wrong connection and also KWin::connection() which is heavily used by
xcbutils and thus all the RandR wrappers have the wrong connection. To
circumvent this problem the test is GUILESS. In case it would call into
any code using QX11Info, it would probably either runtime fail or crash.

The build option got introduced for Plasma Active back in a time
when we did not properly aim for convergence. In a Plasma 5 world
we want to have only one shell and one window manager which adjust
itself. This means we don't want a differently compiled kwin for
plasma active, but the same one. Thus the build option doesn't
make much sense any more. A KWin for touch interface needs to support
screenedges for the case that mouse is plugged in.

KWIN_HAVE_EGL was set to EGL_FOUND which doesn't make sense as EGL is
marked as a runtime dependency. Instead a new build option KWIN_BUILD_EGL
is added defaulting to ON. If set to OFF neither the X11 nor the Wayland
EGL backend are built.

As we use epoxy we don't need them any more. KWin compiles, links and
runs just fine without ever trying to find OpenGL or OpenGLES.
BUG: 340170
FIXED-IN: 5.2.0
With libinput we have the problem that we need to have privileges to
open the device files. In order to not need wrappers or suid bits, we
use logind. This means that kwin_wayland has to be the session controler.
A LogindIntegration is added to connect to logind and wrap the dbus
calls. This is based on the logind integration done for ksld in
ksmserver. The LogindIntegration is started by Workspace and the
InputRedirection tries to become the session controller and starts the
libinput integration only after this succeeded.
Libinput is an optional dependency for getting low level input events.
As opening the input devices requires root privs this is rather
pointless in the current state. But there is a small added test app which
can be executed with root privs to demonstrate the functionality. To
properly get input events we need a wrapper like it's used in weston.
So far the following is setup:
* opening devices found by udev
* forwarding keyboard events to InputRedirection
* forwarding pointer button events to InputRedirection
* forwarding pointer axis events to InputRedirection
* signals emitted for pointer motion events
Pointer motion events need some further work as they are provided
as delta events. We need to track that and map them properly.
Also missing are touch events due to me not having a touch screen.
It should be fairly simple to setup the touch events, though.
Also hotplugging of devices is not yet implemented.
The wayland protocols need the .c files compiled in gnu90 mode.
All known compilers used for kwin support the -std= flag, so setting it
unconditionally should be fine

So far this new module contains:
* Display
* OutputInterface
Display manages the server socket and server event loop. In general it's
the entry point to any part of the server.
OutputInterface is the abstraction for the wl_output interface on server
side. An OutputInterface is created through the Display.
The auto tests for ConnectionThread and Output are adjusted to use the
internal server instead of starting Weston. Especially the Output test
could be extended to test much more as we have absolute control over
the server now.
Moved from wayland_backend.[h|cpp] to buffer.[h|cpp] and
shm_pool.[h|cpp]. Buffer is slightly adjusted to have the ShmPool
passed in as a ctor argument and the ctor is private and friended with
ShmPool, so that it can only be constructed from ShmPool.
A Surface class is split out which holds a wl_surface and supports
attaching a buffer, setting the damage and emitting a signal when the
frame callback got called.
It doesn't come with a unit test yet as it first needs the ShmPool
and Buffer properly split out to easily set it up.
New classes Shell and ShellSurface are created. Both are in shell.[h|cpp]
to indicate their close relationship with the Shell having to create the
ShellSurface.
WaylandBackend is adjusted to hold a Shell* and ShellSurface* instead of
the lower level structs. This also required adjustements to the creation
of the Backend as it now doesn't set a default size any more. Thus the
backendReady signal may not be emitted before the initial configure
event arrived. This also makes it easier to support either the fullscreen
shell or wl_shell at the same time.
Of course a unit test is added for the two new classes. This needs to
be extended once we have more control over the mock Wayland server.
At the same time adding an autotest for the Output, moving the listener
into the Output class and providing enums for Subpixel and Transform.
KWin now requires wl_ouput interface version 2 as that allows us to emit
the changed signal in a better way.
The unit test is not yet capable of testing everything, we need a mock
Wayland server which is more flexible.
The FullscreenShell is a Wayland protocol provided by Weston to have
exactly one surface per output. This is exactly what KWin needs. So
in case the Wayland server we connect to provides the FullscreenShell
we prefer it over the normal Shell and mapping our surface as fullscreen.
The protocol is not yet part of wayland-client library, so the header
and source file needs to be generated. This is done during the build
process using the external tool wayland-scanner. The protocol
description is copied from the Westion 1.5 sources.

The Wayland::Registry class wraps wl_registry handling. It keeps track
of the interfaces in the registry and emits signals whenever a known
interface gets announced or removed. So far it only tracks the interfaces
which are used and needed by KWin.
The Wayland event queue is moved into a dedicated thread and a
new class is created for just creating the connection and listening
for events. The WaylandBackend creates the thread and uses an event
queue for the main thread.

All of kwin except the main function goes into a new (private) library
called kwin. Two new kdeinit_executables are created:
* kwin_x11
* kwin_wayland
Both only use a dedicated main_x11.cpp and main_wayland.cpp with the
main function and a KWin::Application subclass and linking the new
kwin library.
The main idea behind this is to be able to perform more sane sanity
checks. E.g. on Wayland we don't need to first test whether we can
create an X11 connection. Instead we should abort if we cannot connect
to the Wayland display. Also the multi-head checks are not needed on
Wayland, etc. etc. As most of that code is in the main function to
simplify it's better to split.
This will also make it easier to diverge more easily in future. The
Wayland variant can introduce more suited command line arguments for
example. This already started by having the --replace option only
available in X11 variant. The Wayland backend is still a window manager,
but doesn't claim the manager selection.
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.
Remove the manually written GL dispatch code, and use libepoxy
to resolve functions.
The only exceptions are GLX_MESA_swap_control, which is not in
the XML API registry, and GL_ARB_robustness/GL_EXT_robustness.
For the latter we want to resolve the functions to the same names
on both GLES and desktop GL, and plug in our own implementations
when the extension is not supported.
