Sam Lantinga 8795ca70 2020-12-14T09:15:47 Fixed bug 5241 - SDL on Linux needs a way to turn deadzones off pj5085 I added some printf to verify the math being done. Of the three joysticks I have, it works correctly for at least two, and seems to work correctly for the third. I say "seems to" because, for the third joystick, the values never go through the AxisCorrect function, and thus never hit my printf statements, even though they did in the version I wrote my patch against. I'm not sure what's going on there, but it at least seems to be working correctly in as much as I can tell. I note this result in particular, for an SNES Gamepad (min=0, max=255): Joystick value 0 becomes -32768 Joystick value 127 becomes 0 Joystick value 255 becomes 32767 Without the code that forces a zero point, the 127 input value would become -129, so I think you see why I added that code to turn it into zero. However, I think Kai Krakow has a point about how SDL shouldn't assume that there should be a center. Obviously in the majority of cases there actually should be a center, and the code that turns that 127 into an actual 0 is creating only a 0.2% error over 0.4% of this joystick's range. However, what if there is an axis that is some kind of special control, like a 4-position switch, and, for whatever reason, the joystick reports it as an axis with 4 possible values, 0 to 3? In that case, mutilating the two center values to the same value is much more of an error and and turns that 4-position switch into a 3-position switch. If any joystick does this with a 2-position switch, then this code would render that control entirely useless as it would report the same value with the switch in either position. Obviously the code could require that there be at least N possible values, to guess whether something is a proper axis or just some kind of switch, but the choice of N would be arbitrary and that's ugly. I guess the real problem here is that my gamepad is just kind of broken. It should be reporting a range of -1 to +1 since that's what it actually does. Also, as Kai Krakow points out, it's probably not SDL's place to fix broken hardware. I'll add that, if SDL does fix broken hardware, it should probably actually know that it's broken rather than be merely guessing that it is. So, to the extent that SDL is able to do stuff like this, perhaps it's something better left for the user to configure in some kind of config file.

Sam Lantinga db0a2025 2020-12-12T23:48:02 Fixed bug 5241 - SDL on Linux needs a way to turn deadzones off pj5085 It occurred to me that my simple patch that comments out a few lines of code does not correctly remove the dead zone since the calculation presumably assumes the dead zone has been cut out of the range. Then, while looking into how to make it output the correct range of values, I realized SDL wasn't returning the correct range of values to begin with. This line of code was already present: printf("Values = { %d, %d, %d, %d, %d }\n", absinfo.value, absinfo.minimum, absinfo.maximum, absinfo.fuzz, absinfo.flat); For my joystick this yeilds: Values = { 0, -127, 127, 0, 15 } Then this code calculates the coefficients: In SDL1: joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[0] = (absinfo.maximum + absinfo.minimum) / 2 - absinfo.flat; joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[1] = (absinfo.maximum + absinfo.minimum) / 2 + absinfo.flat; t = ((absinfo.maximum - absinfo.minimum) / 2 - 2 * absinfo.flat); if ( t != 0 ) { joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[2] = (1 << 29) / t; } else { joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[2] = 0; } In SDL2: joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[0] = (absinfo.maximum + absinfo.minimum) - 2 * absinfo.flat; joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[1] = (absinfo.maximum + absinfo.minimum) + 2 * absinfo.flat; t = ((absinfo.maximum - absinfo.minimum) - 4 * absinfo.flat); if (t != 0) { joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[2] = (1 << 28) / t; } else { joystick->hwdata->abs_correct[i].coef[2] = 0; } Neither calculates the correct coefficients for the code in the AxisCorrect function. In SDL1: if ( value > correct->coef[0] ) { if ( value < correct->coef[1] ) { return 0; } value -= correct->coef[1]; } else { value -= correct->coef[0]; } value *= correct->coef[2]; value >>= 14; In SDL2: value *= 2; if (value > correct->coef[0]) { if (value < correct->coef[1]) { return 0; } value -= correct->coef[1]; } else { value -= correct->coef[0]; } In SDL1, the calculated coefficients are coef[0]=15, coef[1]=-15 and coef[2]=5534751. So with a full-scale input of 127, it calculates an output value of 37835, which is considerably out of range. In SDL2, the calculated coefficients are coef[0]=30, coef[1]=-30, and coef[2]=1383687. So with a full-scale input of 127, it calculates the same output value of 37835. I tested it with the 3 joysticks I have, and it produces out-of-range values for all of them. Anyway, since dead zones are garbage, I just deleted all of that junk and wrote some code that takes the absinfo.minimum and absinfo.maximum values and uses them to scale the axis range to -32767 through +32767. I also made it detect when a range doesn't have an integer center point, e.g. the center of -128 to + 127 is -0.5. In such cases, if either value to the side of the center is provided, it zeros it, but it otherwise doesn't implement any kind of dead zone. This seemed important with my gamepad which provides only the values of 0, 127, and 255, since without this hack it would never be centered. Also, the previous minimum output value was -32768, but as that creates an output range that has no true center, I changed the minimum value to -32767. I tested it with the 3 joystick devices I have and it seems to create correct values for all of them.

Simon McVittie b0eba1c5 2020-11-11T19:15:32 joystick: Use inotify to detect joystick unplug if not using udev This improves SDL's ability to detect joystick hotplug in a container environment. We cannot reliably receive events from udev in a container, because they are delivered as netlink events, which are authenticated by their uid being 0. However, in a user namespace created by an unprivileged user (for example bubblewrap, as used by Flatpak and Steam's pressure-vessel-wrap), the kernel does not allow us to map uid 0, and the netlink events appear to be from the kernel's overflowuid (typically 65534/nobody), meaning libudev cannot distinguish between genuine uevents from udevd and an attack by a malicious local user.

Simon McVittie fdd945f2 2020-11-11T19:14:52 joystick: Use a better heuristic to guess what is a joystick Previously we only checked for at least one button or key and at least the X and Y absolute axes, but this has both false positives and false negatives. Graphics tablets, trackpads and touchscreens all have buttons and absolute X and Y axes, but we don't want to detect those as joysticks. On normal Linux systems ordinary users do not have access to these device nodes, but members of the 'input' group do. Conversely, some game controllers only have digital buttons and no analogue axes (the Nintendo Wiimote is an example), and some have axes and no buttons (steering wheels or flight simulator rudders might not have buttons). Use the more elaborate heuristic factored out from SDL's udev code path to handle these cases. In an ideal world we could use exactly the same heuristic as udev's input_id builtin, but that isn't under a suitable license for inclusion in SDL, so we have to use a parallel implementation of something vaguely similar.

Simon McVittie 13e7d1a9 2020-11-11T19:14:11 joystick: Allow libudev to be disabled at runtime Device enumeration via libudev can fail in a container for two reasons: * the netlink protocol between udevd and libudev is considered private, so there is no API guarantee that the version of libudev in a container will understand netlink messages from a dissimilar version of udevd on the host system; * the netlink protocol between udevd and libudev relies for security on being able to check the uid of each message, but in a container with a user namespace where host uid 0 is not mapped, the libudev client cannot distinguish between messages from host uid 0 and messages from a different, malicious user on the host To make this easier to experiment with, always compile the fallback code path even if libudev is disabled. libudev remains the default if enabled at compile time, but the fallback code path can be forced.

Sam Lantinga 345b4d7e 2020-05-29T13:37:21 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.

Sam Lantinga a1a2f9b9 2019-06-12T10:32:36 Fixed bug 4486 - Segfault when pressing a trigger on the Steam Controller (Linux) Matteo Beniamino Pressing a trigger button on a Steam Controller causes a segmentation fault both with stable version and latest mercurial head on Linux. I'm using the recent hid_steam kernel module with lizard_mode disabled (that is no keyboard/mouse emulation). I suspect this is what's happening: the driver exposes two hats. The two hats have indices 0 and 2. Inside linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c two hats are allocated in allocate_hatdata for joystick->hwdata->hats. In HandleHat function the hat parameter (that can be 2) is directly used as the index of the array that only has two elements, causing an out of bounds access. SDL is not expecting to have "holes" between hats indices. The index 2 is calculated in HandleInputEvents() as (ABS_HAT2X - ABS_HAT0X) / 2 where ABS_HAT2X is the value associated to the hat inside the hid_steam module.
Sam Lantinga 56b7f4cf 2019-06-08T14:40:27 Fixed bug 4583 - PollAllValues appears to use an incorrect index for all axes above 0x18 Noam Preil In src/joystick/linux/SDL_sysjoystick.c: The ConfigJoystick function's axes detection starts with a for loop using an index i for Linux's axes names. When i gets to ABS_HAT0X, it's set to ABS_HAT3Y and a continue statement appears, to skip the hats. This makes sense, as SDL handles hats separately from axes. However, in PollAllValues, *two* indices are used: a and b. Both start out the same, and remain so until the hats are reached. At that point, a becomes identical to the i from ConfigJoystick's loop, but b is equal to a - (ABS_HAT3Y - ABS_HAT0X), or a - 8. While all the joystick->hwdata->abs_* structures in ConfigJoystick used i - which would here be a - as both the index and the ioctl argument, PollAllValues uses b for the structure index and a as the ioctl argument. It would appear, however, that no joystick HAS such axes, and that the b index is entirely unnecessary. I tested three separate joysticks, and while that was far from a complete listing, I was unable to find a joystick with an axis above 0x08.

Sam Lantinga 2e348c1f 2018-11-14T13:37:22 Fixed bug 3193 - Dualshock 3's motion sensors overwrite analog stick maxxus The Dualshock 3's motion sensors don't seem to be reported by the call to EVIOCGBIT but they still send EV_ABS events. Because they're not reported by EVIOCGBIT they're not assigned a proper axis ids and the default of 0 is used, which is the valid id for the left analog sticks left/right axis.
Micha? Janiszewski 91820998 2018-10-28T21:36:48 Add and update include guards Include guards in most changed files were missing, I added them keeping the same style as other SDL files. In some cases I moved the include guards around to be the first thing the header has to take advantage of any possible improvements compiler may have for inclusion guards.

Sam Lantinga 888bf1af 2018-08-09T16:03:50 Worked around bug with Sony PS Now PS3 controller where DirectInput polling will continue to return success after the controller is unplugged. The code is now reliant on SDL_PrivateJoystickAdded() and SDL_PrivateJoystickRemoved() being called correctly when devices are added or removed on Windows
Sam Lantinga d2042e1e 2018-08-09T16:00:17 Added HIDAPI joystick drivers for more consistent support for Xbox, PS4 and Nintendo Switch Pro controller support across platforms. Added SDL_GameControllerRumble() and SDL_JoystickRumble() for simple force feedback outside of the SDL haptics API
