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.
Summary:
Currently code base of kwin can be viewed as two pieces. One is very
ancient, and the other one is more modern, which uses new C++ features.
The main problem with the ancient code is that it was written before
C++11 era. So, no override or final keywords, lambdas, etc.
Quite recently, KDE compiler settings were changed to show a warning if
a virtual method has missing override keyword. As you might have already
guessed, this fired back at us because of that ancient code. We had
about 500 new compiler warnings.
A "solution" was proposed to that problem - disable -Wno-suggest-override
and the other similar warning for clang. It's hard to call a solution
because those warnings are disabled not only for the old code, but also
for new. This is not what we want!
The main argument for not actually fixing the problem was that git
history will be screwed as well because of human factor. While good git
history is a very important thing, we should not go crazy about it and
block every change that somehow alters git history. git blame allows to
specify starting revision for a reason.
The other argument (human factor) can be easily solved by using tools
such as clang-tidy. clang-tidy is a clang-based linter for C++. It can
be used for various things, e.g. fixing coding style(e.g. add missing
braces to if statements, readability-braces-around-statements check),
or in our case add missing override keywords.

Summary:
It also searches for the platform plugin, so we need to ensure it finds
it in the build directory.
This was a regression caused by building all platform plugins in the
correct location.
Test Plan: strace on the failing test, verified correct plugin is loaded

Summary:
KWin was quite good in ensuring that you don't need to install by
passing paths to the tests. The new way is much nicer, so code is
adjusted for the new way. Also if we require a newer ECM in future we
need to support the new way.
No guarantee that the tests don't pick something up from the system env,
that needs more testing.

Summary:
So far KWin only updated the x11 timestamp if the new timestamp is larger
than the existing one. While this is a useful thing it creates problems
when the 32 bit msec based time stamp wraps around which happens after
running an X server for 49 days. After the timestamp wrapped around KWin
would not update the timestamp any more and thus some calls might fail.
Most prominent victims are keyboard and pointer grab which fails as the
timestamp is either larger than the server timestamp or smaller than the
last grab timestamp.
Another problem related to timestamp handling is KWin getting broken by
wrong timestamps sent by applications. A prominent example is clusterssh
which used to send a timestamp as unix time which is larger than the
x timestamp and thus our timestamp gets too large.
This change addresses these problems by allowing to reset the timestamp.
This is only used from updateXTime (which is normally invoked before we
do things like grabKeyboard). Thus we make QX11Info::getTimestamp the
ultimate trusted source for timestamps.

FIXED-IN: 5.8.7
Test Plan: As I cannot wait 50 days: unit tests for the two conditions added.
