A plugin may need to access kwinApp() or kwinApp()->platform() during
tear down, but the problem is that plugins are destroyed after the
kwinApp() object. The plugin manager must be destroyed explicitly while
the application is still valid to ensure that no crash will occur
during compositor teardown.
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.
If the Xwayland process crashes, it will bring down the entire session
together with itself. Obviously, we don't want that. At least, Wayland
clients should survive the crash.
This change refactors relevant X11 parts to handle Xwayland crashes in a
less fatal way.
In order to handle Xwayland crashes better, a pair of start() and stop()
methods had been introduced in the Xwayland class to allow starting and
stopping the Xwayland process at any moment.
If we detect that the Xwayland process has crashed, we will immediately
stop the Xwayland server, which in its turn will deactivate the socket
notifier and destroy all connected X11 clients. Unfortunately, a couple
of subtle changes in X11Client::releaseWindow() and Unmanaged::release()
had to be made to ensure that we are left with a valid state after the
Xwayland server has been stopped.
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.
We were calling it from tests that were not running a KWin::Application
and not even including the symbols from main.cpp and main.h. The only
reason they linked was that it was static_casting up the QCoreApplication.
Summary: Instead, have KSMServer talk to us directly on DBus.

Summary:
If the XRender scene has cross-faded a window, then, eventually, KWin/X11 will
crash in the destructor of the XRenderPictureData class during tear down with
the following message in the terminal
```
ASSERT: "qApp" in file /home/vlad/Workspace/KDE/src/kde/workspace/kwin/libkwineffects/kwinxrenderutils.cpp, line 163
```
The crash happens because X11StandalonePlatform attempts to clean up XRender
resources, including XRenderUtils::s_blendPicture, after the application object
has been destroyed.
In order to fix the crash, we have to destroy the platform object before the
destructor of QCoreApplication is executed.
Test Plan:
- Enable maximize effect
- Maximize a window
- Replace the current instance of KWin/X11 with another one
Without this patch, KWin/X11 crashes after the third step.

This patch is a first take at splitting up of the Compositor class into
Wayland and X11 child classes.
In this first patch we mostly deal with setup and teardown procedures.
A future goal is to further differentiate the compositing part itself too.

Summary:
The main reason for not having it as a mandatory dependency was that BSD
doesn't support it. But as I learned recently it is available on our CI
system. So BSDs have support now.
Even more it showed that the code doesn't compile if the dependency is
missing. And there's one thing I hate: broken build configuration
options.
So let's make UDEV and libinput a required dependency and get rid of the
problems.

hasn't been supported for the last few years. But now there is the
possibility to run Wayland only, so introduce this as a dedicated new
OperationMode.

Summary:
There are a few places where KWin needs to read values from kcminputrc.
As I need to add yet another one it makes more sense to properly
structure it like in other cases and have only one kcminputrc hold in
the application. This also allows to better mock the config values in
the integration tests.

Summary:
So far KWin parsed the kxbkrc at multiple places (once in Xkb, once
in KeyboardLayout). This is now replaced by one KSharedConfigPtr hold
by kwinApp, just like the normal kwinrc. The KSharedConfigPtr is now
passed to Xkb.
As a nice side effect this makes it easier to test keyboard layout
changes as we can now properly mock the keyboard configuration. Thus
this change also comes with an autotest for loading keyboard layout
configuration. This is becoming more and more a need as we start
getting bug reports for layout specific issues like global shortcuts
not working with Greek layout.

By changing the loading of scripted effect config to interact with
kwinApp we broke the tests which do not use a kwinApp.
This change turns the access to the KSharedConfigPtr go through the
property system, so that the tests can also install a dummy
KSharedConfigPtr. With that scripted effects loader test passes and no
longer crashes and the integration/effects tests also still pass.
By default the InputRedirectionCursor is created and only the X11
standalone platform creates the X11 specific cursor.
This is a preparation step for moving the X11 specific cursor
implementation into the x11standalone platform plugin.
It's created together with input, so that the input mechanismn already
has a way to check whether screen is locked.
Effects doesn't hold a member variable any more and instead uses the
singleton instance.
Summary:
This change reduces the windowing system specific code pathes. Instead
of checking whether we are on X11 or Wayland to decide whether
compositing is required, we just ask the Platform.
The default is true, only x11 standalone allows to not require
compositing.

Summary:
This change ensures that kwin_wayland does not pull in KCrash. We
don't want and need KCrash in the Wayland case. If KWin crashes the
session goes down - restarting doesn't make any sense, we need to
relogin.
Similar drkonqi just doesn't work as it doesn't have a windowing
system to connect to. After all the windowing system just crashed.
Also the AlternativeWM dialog doesn't make any sense on Wayland.
Similar thought: there is no windowing system to show this nice dialog.
Overall it's better to have system default behavior
(e.g. systemd-coredump) than using KCrash in the very special case of
kwin_wayland.

Summary:
This is the first change in a refactoring series. The aim is to:
* rename AbstractBackend to Platform
* move backends/ to plugins/platforms/
* don't bind platforms to Wayland only
* provide a platform plugin for "normal" X11
* share more code between X11 and Wayland
This change moves the platform/backend from waylandServer to Application.
The init of the plugin happens directly in the Application from the
KPluginMetaData. There is no need to externally init it and set the
parent.
WaylandServer::backend() currently just delegates to
kwinApp()->platform(), the idea is to drop this method completely.
The test infrastructure is also adjusted to this change.
Test Plan: kwin_wayland still works, all tests pass

The event filter is only used to let Qt compose a QKeyEvent from an
x11 event for grabbed key events. On Wayland we don't need it as we
can generate good QKeyEvents ourself. This means less event processing
as the events no longer need to pass through the
Workspace::workspaceEvent.
In addition it fixes a regression in LockScreenTest::testEffectsKeyboard
caused by the LockScreenEventFilter sending a QKeyEvent to KSldApp.
This event got intercepted by the global event filter making the test
rightfully fail.
This patch introduces additional method to Application class
that has default policy of restarting the app.
This method is overridden for wayland case disabling this step.

We need to destroy the compositor after Xwayland terminated and after
the internal Wayland connection is destroyed. This means when destroying
the Workspace we may no longer destroy the Compositor at the same time.
Also we need to ensure that other tear down functionality doesn't call
into the no longer existing internal client connection.
With this change kwin doesn't crash when exiting with Wayland and/or
X11 windows still open.
Instead of setting our own filter rules we install a categories file
to allow to configure them. This seems to still have them enabled by
default, but should at least give distributions the possibility to
disable logging by default.
The problem with KToolInvocation is that it creates a dead lock on
Wayland in case kdeinit is not already running. It starts kdeinit
and does a QProcess::waitForFinished and our kdeinit needs to interact
with the wayland server. So dead lock.
As KRun also calls into the dangerous code path it's no option which
leaves us with QProcess to start the processes.
A nice side-effect is that we no don't need to link KF5::Service any
more from kwin_core. Now once Plasma and Notification don't use it
any more, it will be gone completely.
The KGlobalAccelD which gets created by KWin needs a plugin for the
platform specific parts. This change introduces such a plugin. It's
linked against kwin so that it can integrate with the core.
On enable the plugin registers itself in the InputRedirection and
GlobalShortcutsManager checks the plugin whether a shortcut got
triggered.
As the loading of the plugin must happen after InputRedirection is
fully created a dedicated init method is added to InputRedirection.

If startup fails and there is no Workspace the Compositor was destroyed
as a child of Application with the result of being destroyed after the
Wayland server resulting in a crash.
If the Workspace gets created the Compositor will be destroyed by the
Workspace, so there's no need to destroy it early.
For Xwayland we need to have the Scene (and EglDisplay) created prior
to starting Xwayland and having X11. This requires creating the
Compositor before creating Workspace and starting Xwayland.
To support this the startup of Compositor is split into two parts:
prior and after Workspace creation.
The change might also be interesting for the kwin_x11 case as it could
result in the compositor being up in a quicker way.
