avoiding the blocking swapinterval detection causes
issues in the timing strategy and prevents protection
against CPU overload on the nvidia blob

REVIEW: 115306
After losing current from the EGL or GLX
context, calls to the GL or GLES functions
have undefined behavior. Perform all
cleanup that may touch OpenGL and check for
GL errors before losing current from the
context.

Allow prepareRenderingFrame() to return a region that will be
repainted in addition to the damaged region.
Pass both the damaged region and the repainted region, which
may be larger, as parameters to endRenderingFrame().
repaints caused by effects so far polluted the timing calculations
since they started the timer on the old vsync offset
This (together with undercut timing) lead to multiple frames in
the buffer queue, and ultimately to a blocking swap
For unsynced painting, it simply caused wrong timings - leading to
"well, kinda around 60Hz - could be 75 as just well".

that part is fixed in 4.11.2
This flag seems to be ignored by several OpenGL implementations,
so don't set it for now. Mesa may also stop accepting this flag
until forward-compatible contexts are fully supported.

detection must be assumed to have run, so a sane value is available

the only thing it does on these systems is cause users
trouble because usually when there's a client where
unredirection makes sense, that uses OpenGL - and then
things break in the driver.

This method returns a matrix that transforms normalized or un-normalized
texture coordinates, taking the texture target and y-inversion flag into
account.
Remove support for OpenGL compositing without using a composite
overlay window. With this change kwin now also requires a
double-buffered framebuffer configuration.
glXCreateNewContext() is supposed to return NULL on failure, so let's
assume that it does. Don't try to create an indirect context when
creating a direct context failed. glXCreateNewContext() should return
an indirect context when a direct context cannot be created.
Use glXChooseFBConfig() instead of glXGetFBConfigs(), and prefer
the first usable configuration instead of the last.
Also rename initBufferConfigs() to initFbConfig().

- forcing fullrepaints unconditionally
- turning a repaint to a full one beyond a threshhold
- completing the the backbuffer from the frontbuffer after the paint

OpenGL is properly working if there is a direct rendering context.
If LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT is set VirtualBox falls back to Mesa's software
rasterizer. So in order to get OpenGL the driver is now whitelisted in
the opengltest.
GLPlatform is extended to recognize the VirtualBox driver and has new
methods to report whether it is a virtual machine and VirtualBox. The
detection is rather limited as we don't get access to the underlying
hardware, so we do not know whether the features are really supported.
We need to trust the driver here in announcing the right extensions.
The driver does not provide glxQueryDrawable although it is part of
GLX 1.3. A hack is added in the glxbackend to set the function pointer to
NULL. This can unfortunately not be done in glxResolveFunctions() as
QueryDrawable seems not to be provided by an extension (at least not
listed in the OpenGL registry) and getProcAddress resolves a function but
it only prints an OpenGL Warning to stderr.
As a note: the driver reports that it is using XSHM for
GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap.

According to the OpenGL ABI for Linux GLX 1.3 is a minimum requirement.
Therefore we do not need to resolve the symbols which are present in that
version.
KWin did always require at least 1.3, for all the resolved functions
there were checks in the Scene, but they might have been incorrect.
Instead now the GLX version is checked and OpenGL compositing is blocked
if there is not at least GLX 1.3.

The Egl backend is decoupled from the OpenGL ES build option which makes
it possible to use it as a replacement for glx.
To make this possible a new build flag is added when egl is available at
compile time and any egl specific code is now ifdefed with this flag
instead of the gles flag. In addition at runtime a windowing system enum
value is passed to the various detect methods to have egl/glx specific
detection for e.g. function pointer resolving.
By default egl is used if compiled with OpenGL ES, otherwise glx is used.
But in the non-gles case the windowing system can be selected through the
new environment variable KWIN_OPENGL_INTERFACE. Setting this variable to
"egl" the EglOnXBackend is used.
REVIEW: 106632
The handling for creating and managing the OpenGL context is
split out of the SceneOpenGL into the abstract OpenGLBackend
and it's two subclasses GlxBackend and EglOnXBackend.
The backends take care of creating the OpenGL context on the
windowing system, e.g. on glx an OpenGL context on the overlay
window is created and in the egl case an EGL context is created.
This means that the SceneOpenGL itself does not have to care
about the specific underlying infrastructure.
Furthermore the backend provides the Textures for the specific
texture from pixmap operations. For that in each of the backend
files an additional subclass of the TexturePrivate is defined.
These subclasses hold the EglImage and GLXPixmap respectively.
The backend is able to create such a private texture and for
that the ctor of the Texture is changed to take the backend as
a parameter and the Scene provides a factory method for
creating Textures. To make this work inside Window the Textures
are now hold as pointers which seems a better choice anyway as
to the member functions pointers are passed.
