Added support for clang thread-safety analysis
The annotations have been added to SDL_mutex.h and have been made public so applications can enable this for their own code.
Clang assumes that locking and unlocking can't fail, but SDL has the concept of a NULL mutex, so the mutex functions have been changed not to report errors if a mutex hasn't been initialized. We do have mutexes that might be accessed when they are NULL, notably in the event system, so this is an important change.
This commit cleans up a bunch of rare race conditions in the joystick and game controller code so now everything should be completely protected by the joystick lock.
To test this, change the compiler to "clang -Wthread-safety -Werror=thread-safety -DSDL_THREAD_SAFETY_ANALYSIS"

Update for SDL3 coding style (#6717)
I updated .clang-format and ran clang-format 14 over the src and test directories to standardize the code base.
In general I let clang-format have it's way, and added markup to prevent formatting of code that would break or be completely unreadable if formatted.
The script I ran for the src directory is added as build-scripts/clang-format-src.sh
This fixes:
#6592
#6593
#6594

Fixes made in response to running a static code analyzer under MS Windows.
Most of these are probably harmless, but the changes to SDL_immdevice.c and SDL_pixels.c appear to have fixed genuine bugs.
SDL_audiocvt.c: By separating the calculation of the divisor, I got rid of the suspicion that dividing a double by an integer led to loss of precision.
SDL_immdevice.c: Added a missing test, one that could have otherwise led to dereferencing a null pointer.
SDL_events.c, SDL_gamecontroller.c, SDL_joystick.c, SDL_malloc.c, SDL_video.c: Made it clear the return values weren't used.
SDL_hidapi_shield.c: The size is zero, so nothing bad would have happened, but the SDL_memset() was still being given an address outside of the array's range.
SDL_dinputjoystick.c: Initialize local data, just in case IDirectInputDevice8_GetProperty() isn't guaranteed to write to it.
SDL_render_sw.c: drawstate.viewport could be null (as seen on line 691).
SDL.c: SDL_MostSignificantBitIndex32() could return -1, though I don't know if you want to cope with that (what I did) or SDL_assert() that it can't happen.
SDL_hints.c: Replaced boolean tests on pointer values with comparisons to NULL.
SDL_pixels.c: Looks like the switch is genuinely missing a break!
SDL_rect_impl.h: The MacOS static checker pointed out issues with the X comparisons that were handled by assertions; I added assertions for the Y comparisons.
SDL_yuv.c, SDL_windowskeyboard.c, SDL_windowswindow.c: Checked error-result returns.

Remapped the side button and trigger as paddles for the mini-gamepad mode of the Joy-Cons
This is the only case where the mapping differs between right and left Joy-Cons in mini-gamepad mode. The left Joy-Con will have the left paddles and the right Joy-Con will have the right paddles. This facilitates co-op gameplay with individual actions while still using the normal mini-gamepad mode.
The paddles are used for this because conceptually they are more awkward to hit than the normal controls and they are in roughly the correct hand position.

Re-added the CRC to the joystick guid
This is now used as a crc field in the mapping rather than directly in mapping guids, for better mapping compatibility between versions of SDL.
Added SDL_GetJoystickGUIDInfo() to get device information encoded in a joystick GUID, so that mapping programs can clear the CRC from the GUID when generating mappings.
sort_controllers.py has been updated to extract the CRC from mappings created by older mapping programs and convert it into the new crc field. It will also take the CRC into account when checking for duplicate mappings.
Also regenerated the GUIDs for the PS2/PSP/Vita controller mappings, fixing https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6151

Fixed bug 5445 - Incorrect Switch Pro Controller face buttons when SDL_HINT_GAMECONTROLLER_USE_BUTTON_LABELS disabled
jibb
I'm testing with DualShock 4, DualSense, Switch Pro Controller, and PowerA Switch Controller.
I'm using the standard mapping file from here:
https://raw.github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB/master/gamecontrollerdb.txt
With SDL_HINT_GAMECONTROLLER_USE_BUTTON_LABELS turned off (set to "0") I expect the button positions to be the same on all devices, based on Xbox controller button naming (eg SDL_GameControllerGetButton(g, SDL_CONTROLLER_BUTTON_Y) gives me whether the North face button is pressed).
However, the Switch Pro Controller layout is wrong (matching labels rather than positions, so X and Y are swapped and A and B are swapped). And with the PowerA controller the East and West buttons are correct, but the North and South buttons are swapped instead.
Mathias Kaerlev
Also seeing this on 2.0.14. This is most likely a regression, since we weren't seeing this on an earlier SDL version.
I suspect it might be caused by this commit:
https://github.com/spurious/SDL-mirror/commit/a569b211881c6d4c73f3f1019e9f66e754ca546b#diff-da9344d94c66b8c702a45e7649f412039f08bba83bd82de33f5c80ea9c8c39d5
It seems like both the HIDAPI driver and SDL_gamecontroller.c will try to swap the buttons if the hint is set to 0, causing the button remap to cancel out.

Fixed bug 5235 - All internal sources should include SDL_assert.h
Ryan C. Gordon
We should really stick this in SDL_internal.h or something so it's always available.

Generalized the raw input controller driver and moved XInput/WGI detection into it for XInput devices
This fixes bad report parsing for various newer Xbox controllers, and this driver is now preferred over XInput, since it handles more than 4 controllers.

Added 4 auxiliary buttons to the game controller API
Xbox Elite controllers use AUX1-AUX4 to represent the paddle buttons when using the HIDAPI driver
PS4 and PS5 controllers use AUX1 to represent the touchpad button
Nintendo Switch Pro controllers use AUX1 to represent the capture button

Fix joystick device add events containing invalid device indexes
This can happen if the application has not yet processed SDL_JOYDEVICEADD when
the same joystick is removed. It may also happen if two joysticks are added
and the second joystick is removed before the first joystick's SDL_JOYDEVICEADD
has been processed by the application.

Fixed bug 5233 - PS3 Gamepad Motion Control not correctly ignored on Linux
Igor Morgado
PS3 Controller motion sensor string is being reported as
`Gasia Co.,Ltd PS(R) Gamepad Motion Sensors`
But `src/joystick/SDL_gamecontroller.c` line1690 only ignores if matches the string `Controller Motion Sensors`.
```
#if defined(__LINUX__)
if (name && SDL_strstr(name, "Controller Motion Sensors")) {
/* Don't treat the PS3 and PS4 motion controls as a separate game controller */
return SDL_TRUE;
}
#endif
```
Therefore, SDL is mapping 2 Game controllers instead one.
Maybe reduce the substring to match `Motion Sensors` instead.
A simple log from my application is shown below:
INFO: Game controller device 0 - PS3 Controller:PS3 Controller found.
INFO: Controller 0: Player 0: 054c:0268:8111 - PS3 Controller - PS3 Controller - Gasia Co.,Ltd PS(R) Gamepad
INFO: Game controller device 1 - PS3 Controller:PS3 Controller found.
INFO: Controller 1: Player 1: 054c:0268:8111 - PS3 Controller - PS3 Controller - Gasia Co.,Ltd PS(R) Gamepad Motion Sensors

Fixed bug 5161 - Autodetect controller mappings based on the Linux Gamepad Specification
Jan Bujak
I wrote a new driver for my gamepad on Linux. I'd like SDL to support it out-of-box, as currently it just treats it as a generic joystick instead of a gamepad. From what I can see the only way to do that is to either 1) pick one of the already supported controllers' PID, VID and button layouts and have my driver send that (effectively lying that it's something else), or 2) submit a preconfigured, hardcoded mapping to SDL.
Both of those, in my opinion, are silly when we already have the Linux Gamepad Specification which standarizes this:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.15/input/gamepad.html
Unfortunately SDL doesn't make use of it currently. So I've took it upon myself to add it; patch is in the attachments.
Basically what the patch does is that if SDL finds no built-it controller mappings for a given joystick it then asks the joystick backend to autodetect it, and that uses the relevant evdev bits to figure out which button/axis is which. (See the specs for more details.)
With this patch applied my own driver for my controller works out-of-box with SDL with no extra configuration and is correctly recognized as a gamepad; this is also going to be the case for any other driver which follows the Linux Gamepad Specification.
