Summary:
The base idea behind this change is to keep the system responsive no
matter what other processes do. All input and rendering needs to go
through the windowing system, so keeping it responsive is important.
Currently KWin competes with all other processes for resources and this
can render the system unusable. Consider some processes running amok. In
this case the user might not be able to easily close the applications as
KWin does not get the cpu time to perform the input tasks requested by
the user.
Or in the case of playing a demanding game it is important that KWin
gets scheduled to forward the pointer input events. The user doesn't
want that the game (or another process) wins against the windowing
sytem.
The disadvantage is that KWin always wins against other processes with
real time scheduling. This could result in KWin running amok stalling
the system. On the other hand this is no change to the current situation
as if KWin runs amok the sytem is unusable.
The change uses libcap to set CAP_SYS_NICE on kwin_wayland executable.
KWin_wayland on start sets the scheduling policy to SCHED_RR with the
lowest possible priority. Thus any other SCHED_RR process will win
against KWin. So real time processes are not affected by this change!
After adjusting the scheduling (which requires CAP_SYS_NICE) KWin drops
this capability again.
Test Plan:
Verified that KWin adjusts the scheduler, that it is not passed
to child processes, that the capability gets dropped and not passed to
child processes.

Summary:
So far both Workspace and Toplevel emitted signals for every property
notify event on the root window and the respective Toplevel windows. The
signals were only used in EffectsHandlerImpl to forward to the effect
system in case the property which changed is registered by an effect.
This change introduces a dedicated event filter for this which is only
created in EffectsHandlerImpl in case an X11 connection is available. It
supports a restart of the X11 system.
The signals used so far are removed from Workspace and Toplevel.

Summary:
This change introduces a dedicated X11EventFilter for the mouse
interception on X11. The filter gets created together with the start
of mouse interception and destroyed again when the mouse interception
ends. Thus we don't need to check for each event like it was the case
so far.
Unfortunately the existing methods cannot be removed (yet) as they are
still used by TabBox. Needs investigation whether this is actually
needed.

This change is similar to D7232 and moves the scene_qpainter into a
dedicated plugin. Compared to the XRender case it's more complicated as
the platform plugins need to implement a platform specific backend.
The base implementation for this part used to be in scene_qpainter. As
the idea is to completly move it away from KWin core it would be point
less to still have the backend definition in KWin core, but it cannot
be in the scene plugin as otherwise all platforms need to link the
plugin.
To solve this a new platformsupport subdirectory is added which contains
the scene platform backend as a static library. For the OpenGL scene such
a static library will also be required.

Summary:
First step for loading the compositor Scenes through plugins. The general
idea is that we currently needlessly pull in all the Scenes although only
one will be used.
E.g. on X11 we pull in QPainter, although they are not compatible. On
Wayland we pull in XRender although they are not compatible.
Furthermore our current Scene creation strategy is not really fault
tolerant and can create situations where we don't get a compositor. E.g
on fbdev backend the default settings won't work as it does not support
OpenGL.
Long term I want to tackle those conceptional problems together:
we try to load all plugins supported by the current platform till we have
a scene which works. Thus on Wayland we don't end up in a situation where
we don't have a working compositor because the configuration is bad.
To make this possible the switch statement in the Scene needs to go and
needs to be replaced by a for loop iterating over all the available
scenes on the platform. If we go there it makes sense to replace it
directly with a plugin based approach.
So this is a change which tackles the problem by first introducing the
plugin loading. The xrender based scene (as it's the most simple one)
is moved into a plugin. It is first tried to find a scene plugin and only
if there is none the existing code is used.
Test Plan: Tested all scenes

Summary:
KWin::updateXTime only delegates into the platform API where the method
is a no-op. The actual implementation is moved into the X11 standalone
platform as it uses QX11Info which is non functional except on the X11
standalone platform.
This change exposes a problem with timestamp handling: on Wayland the
X11 timestamp does not get updated at all, causing e.g. window sync not
work correctly (c.f. bug 374881). We cannot implement the updating in the
same way as QX11Info/Qt xcb platform does it as that would introduce a
blocking roundtrip to XWayland which is dangerous.
As a side-effect this change removes linking to Qt5::X11Extras in kwin
core as it's no longer needed.

This is a totally stupid warning for an older code base such as KWin. It

Summary:
KWin already used C++14 constructs in a conditional way. This doesn't
make much sense today, it's better to just require C++14.
For KWin only gcc and clang are currently compilers of relevance. Gcc
supports C++14 since version 5 and defaults to C++14 since 6.1 [1].
Clang supports C++14 since version 3.4 [2].
An overview of compiler support in various distributions:
* Debian stable (stretch): gcc 6.3, clang 3.8
* Debian oldstable (jessie): 4.9, clang 3.5
* Ubuntu 17.04: gcc 6.1, clang 3.8
* Ubuntu 16.04: gcc 5.3, clang 3.8
* openSUSE Tumbleweed: gcc 7.1, clang 4.0
* openSUSE Leap 42.3: gcc ?, clang ? [3]
* FreeBSD: clang >= 34 in ports
* Slackware 14.2: gcc 5.3
This overview shows that every distro out there has at least one
supported compiler which can still compile KWin with this change.

Summary:
The current way to specify the OpenGL context attributes does no longer
scale as can be seen in D6344. There are too many different context
attribute sets and with every addition we grow lots of copied code. The
chances to introduce errors in that code which is difficult to debug are
very high. As can be seen in the glx backend which defines major 1,
minor 2, but it should be major 2, minor 1.
This change reworks this code by creating a builder class which contains
only an abstract definition of what needs to be in the attributes.
E.g. the version, whether it's robust and so on.
Now we can just have a list of possible attributes in a well described
way:
auto builder;
builder.setVersion(3, 1);
builder.setRobust(true);
All possible builders are added to a list and operated on in a for loop
which tries to creat a context. Once it succeeded it breaks the list.
In addition a debug statement is added which prints out the set of
options which went into the context.
So far this is only done for EGL, GLX can follow once D6344 is merged.

policies like in the X11 session. This first change only adds support for
Global and Virtual Desktop policy. This means the current layout is
stored in context to the current virtual desktop. Whenever one changes
the virtual desktop the previous layout is restored. If the user has not
yet navigated to this virtual desktop a switch to default layout is
performed.
This is the first code interacting with the new Virtual Desktop API which
is not based on integer ids. To fully support this the API is slightly
extended.

Summary:
So far KWin did not properly handle popup windows. That is when a popup
surface got created and a click outside the surface happened KWin did not
send out the popupDone Wayland event.
This change makes KWin aware of whether a surface is a popup and tracks
through a new PopupInputFilter whether there are popup windows. In case
there are popups the new filter waits for mouse press events and cancels
the popups if the press does not happen on any surface belonging to the
same client. To quote the relevant section of the Wayland documentation:
The popup grab continues until the window is destroyed or a mouse
button is pressed in any other client's window. A click in any of the
client's surfaces is reported as normal, however, clicks in other
clients' surfaces will be discarded and trigger the callback.
So far the support is still incomplete. Not yet implemented are:
* support xdg_shell popup windows
* verifying whether the popup is allowed to be a popup
* cancel the popup on more global interactions like screen lock or
kwin effect

Summary:
This change adds global touchpad swipe gestures to the
GlobalShortcutsManager and hooks up the swipe gestures as defined at the
Plasma Affenfels sprint:
* swipe up: Desktop Grid
* swipe down: Present Windows
* swipe left: previous virtual desktop
* swipe right: next virtual desktop
The main work is handled by two new classes: SwipeGesture and
GestureRecognizer. This is implemented in a way that it can be extended
to also recognize touch screen gestures and pinch gestures.
The SwipeGesture defines what is required for the gesture to trigger.
Currently this includes the minimum and maximum number of fingers
participating in the gesture and the direction. The gesture gets
registered in the GestureRecognizer.
The events for the gesture are fed into the GestureRecognizer. It
evaluates which gestures could trigger and tracks them for every update
of the gesture. In the process of the gesture tracking the
GestureRecognizer emits signals on the Gesture:
* started: when the Gesture gets considered for a sequence
* cancelled: the Gesture no longer matches the sequence
* triggered: the sequence ended and the Gesture still matches
The remaining changes are related to hook up the existing shortcut
framework with the new touchpad gestures. The GlobalShortcutManager
gained support for it, InputRedirection and EffectsHandler offer methods
to register a QAction. VirtualDesktopManager, PresentWindows and
DesktopGrid are adjusted to support the gesture.

Summary:
So far KWin put a version requirement on Breeze which is the current
version number of KWin. This is technically correct, but distributions
seem to have problems with it. E.g. I noticed twice in Debian testing
that kwin defaults to Plastik which happens when Breeze is not found.
I reported it, it got fixed, now it's again broken.
Thus I think that distributions have problems with the requirement of
building Breeze prior to KWin. As KWin does not depend on the minor
version, let's depend only on the actual required version, which is
5.8 in the 5.8 branch, 5.9 in the 5.9 branch and master.

Summary:
The functionality regarding triggering modifier only shortcuts is moved
out of Xkb - where it doesn't belong to - and is turned into an input
event spy listening for the changes it is interested in. Previously
the state got queried by asking e.g. for the pressed buttons, now it's
tracked directly.
The X11 side needs a larger change due to that as now pushing the events
into Xkb does not trigger modifier only shortcuts any more. Instead the
"normal" way through the platform API needs to be used which triggers the
processing of filters and spies.
The problem here is that our redirections only process events if they are
inited and that only happens on Wayland. We cannot call init on them as
that would create all the Wayland filters and spies and processing would
probably break. As an intermediate solution the spies are now processed
and there we know that it won't matter. A future solution would be to
remove the init checks completely and just send through both filters and
spies and ensure that on X11 only the supported ones are loaded.

So far the keyboard repeat handling was triggered directly from
KeyboardInputRedirection::processKey. With the introduction of
InputEventSpies it is no longer required to be done like that, we can
split it out into a dedicated spy.
This means that processKey only has to care about processing the key
and allows us to better extend in future. So far keyboard repeat is
only functional for libinput based platforms. But it should also be
possible to use it in nested setups. By splitting it out we can
prepare for that.

Summary:
So far the implementation of keyboard layout handling was split between
KeyboardInputRedirection and Xkb. KeyboardInputRedirection registered
the global shortcut and did the handling for layout switch and config
changes. Xkb did the notification on layout change.
Layout changes can nowadays be detected through an InputEventSpy. It
can only happen after a key change or an explicit layout switch. Thus
it does not need to be in Xkb anymore which allows to reduce Xkb to
only care about the Xkb keymap and state tracking.
This change introduces a new class KeyboardLayout which is an
InputEventSpy and takes over the task of the layout change notification
from Xkb and the layout management from KeyboardInputRedirection. Thus
everything related to management of keyboard layout is together in one
class.
This allows in future to add unit test to it (requires further cleanup
of Xkb to be able to use it and drop the InputRedirection dependency) and
opens the possibility to also take over keyboard layout management on X11
for the Plasma desktop.
