The virtual backend uses the surfaceless platform. On the other hand, we
move in a direction where the graphics buffer type is explicit, which
creates issues for the virtual backend.
This change ports the virtual backend to gbm so we could manually
allocate dmabuf buffers in order to unify buffer handling in kwin.
Its main drawback is that you won't be able to use the virtual backend
on setups without render nodes. On the other hand, given that the
compositor is meaningless without clients being able to share buffers
with it, it's reasonable to require some way to create and export prime
buffers.
We use the PMF syntax so the isValid() check is unnecessary as the
compiler will notify about wrong signal at compile time. It makes
writing autotests feel less boilerplaty.
Things such as Output, InputDevice and so on are made to be
multi-purpose. In order to make this separation more clear, this change
moves that code in the core directory. Some things still link to the
abstraction level above (kwin), they can be tackled in future refactors.
Ideally code in core/ should depend either on other code in core/ or
system libs.
This change adjusts the window management abstractions in kwin for the
drm backend providing more than just "desktop" outputs.
Besides that, it has other potential benefits - for example, the
Workspace could start managing allocation of the placeholder output by
itself, thus leading to some simplifications in the drm backend. Another
is that it lets us move wayland code from the drm backend.
AbstractOutput is not so Abstract and it's common to avoid the word
"Abstract" in class names as it doesn't contribute any new information.
It also significantly reduces the line width in some places.
The .clang-format file is based on the one in ECM except the following
style options:
- AlwaysBreakBeforeMultilineStrings
- BinPackArguments
- BinPackParameters
- ColumnLimit
- BreakBeforeBraces
- KeepEmptyLinesAtTheStartOfBlocks
The main idea behind the render backend is to decouple low level bits
from scenes. The end goal is to make the render backend provide render
targets where the scene can render.
Design-wise, such a split is more flexible than the current state, for
example we could start experimenting with using qtquick (assuming that
the legacy scene is properly encapsulated) or creating multiple scenes,
for example for each output layer, etc.
So far, the RenderBackend class only contains one getter, more stuff will
be moved from the Scene as it makes sense.
The main motivation behind this change is to prepare kwin for importing
kwayland-server code in libkwin.
As is, builtin effects are linked with libkwin. Some builtin effects
have wayland specific code. If we move wayland stuff in libkwin, there's
going to be a circular dependency between kwin4_effect_builtins and
libkwin targets.
This change intends to break that dependency by linking builtin effects
to kwin executable.
The main issue with that is that EffectLoader would need to discover the
effects indirectly. QStaticPlugin is used for that purpose.
Besides breaking the cyclic dependency, it makes builtin effects use the
same plugin infrastructure in libkwineffects that external effects use.
Metadata in src/effects/effect_builtins.cpp was converted in a list of
python dictionaries, which was fed to a python script that generated
main.cpp and metadata.json files.
With a "Surface" type in kwin, KWayland::Client::Surface without fully
specified namespace will conflict with kwin's Surface type.
In some way, it also improves readability as it's clear where Surface
comes from.
When debugging modifier_only_shortcut_test in _waylandonly mode I saw
that it was failing, among other things, because some aspects were not
initialised.
This changes every test we have to run the new
Test::initWaylandWorkspace() that calls waylandServer()->initWorkspace()
but also makes sure that WaylandServer::initialized is emitted before we
proceed.
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.
The new signal is emitted when the Application has fully been initialized.
It allows us to change the startup sequence, for example create workspace
before starting the Xwayland server, without making any adjustments in our
test suit.
Summary:
Currently, we have only one shell client type - XdgShellClient. We use
it when we are dealing with Wayland clients. But it isn't really a good
idea because we may need to support shell surfaces other than xdg-shell
ones, for example input panel surfaces.
In order to make kwin more extensible, this change replaces all usages
of the XdgShellClient class with the AbstractClient class.
Test Plan: Existing tests pass.

Summary:
Create output devices in virtual backend. For that the setVirtualOutputs call
can only come after the Wayland server has been initiliazied such that the
display exists to create the output and output device interfaces. Tests have
been adjusted for that.
Test Plan:
```
98% tests passed, 3 tests failed out of 148
Total Test time (real) = 362.97 sec
The following tests FAILED:
33 - kwin-testInternalWindow (Failed)
39 - kwin-testPointerInput (Failed)
101 - kwin-testMoveResize (Failed)
```
Failing of these tests looks unrelated to the change.

Summary:
This removes the restart function of the Compositor class and renames the
internal reinitialize function.
Instead of the restart function reinitialize can be called. Reading again
the settings in this case is fine, since it is done rarely. This reduces
the code complexity.
Test Plan: Manually on Wayland and X. 100% autotests pass.

With EGL_MESA_platform_surfaceless we don't need a dri device anymore.
So we don't need to skip the tests if the device is missing. Instead the

Summary:
Currently, testDontCrashReinitializeCompositor is unstable because it
doesn't take into account that effects can be loaded asynchronously.
In general, we don't need all default effects in this test, so let's
disable them.
Test Plan: This should fix ASan issues.

Summary:
Compositing is suspended/finished in a very hard way fashion, effect
windows are destroyed without notifying effects about it.
AnimationEffect tries gracefully release deleted windows, but because
in some cases(like when suspending compositing) a deleted window can
be already destroyed, a segmentation fault can happen.
This change adjusts the order in which effect windows and effects are
destroyed, so AnimationEffect (and other effects) cannot access dangling
pointers.
