Sam Lantinga d2372c85 2023-06-13T10:06:36 Added automatic mapping for Xbox Elite paddles using the xpadneo driver We can't actually tell yet whether a controller has paddles, so this code isn't effective, but I'll file an upstream issue and see if we can get that resolved.

Simon McVittie 36ff6327 2023-06-09T13:24:21 linux: Improve gamepad mapping heuristic to accept Android conventions This heuristic for gamepads without a more specific mapping already tried two incompatible conventions for handling triggers: the Linux Gamepad Specification uses hat switch 2 for the triggers (for whatever reason), but the de facto standard set by the drivers for older Xbox and Playstation controllers represents each trigger as the Z-axis of the nearest analog stick. Android documentation encourages Bluetooth gamepad manufacturers to use a third incompatible convention where the left and right triggers are represented as the brake and gas pedals of a driving simulator controller. The Android convention also changes the representation of the right stick: instead of using X and Y rotation as a second pair of axes, Android uses Z position as a second horizontal axis, and Z rotation as a second vertical axis. Try to cope gracefully with all of these. This will hopefully resolve the issue described in #5406 (when using unpatched kernels).

Sam Lantinga d59caffe 2022-12-13T14:03:40 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"
Pierre Wendling d0bbfdbf 2022-12-01T16:07:03 Clang-Tidy fixes (#6725) (cherry picked from commit 3c501b963dd8f0605a6ce7978882df39ba76f9cd)
Sam Lantinga b8d85c69 2022-11-30T12:51:59 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 (cherry picked from commit 5750bcb174300011b91d1de20edb288fcca70f8c)

Sam Lantinga c70e6759 2022-11-03T12:37:54 Wait a bit for devices to initialize before trying to enumerate and open them. This works around udev event nodes arriving before hidraw nodes and the controller being opened twice - once using the Linux driver and once by the HIDAPI driver. This also fixes a kernel panic on Steam Link hardware due to trying to open the hidraw device node too early. A delay of 10 ms seems to be a good value, tested on Steam Link hardware.

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.
Ozkan Sezer b6e63625 2020-12-13T15:32:24 fix bug #5395: handle old systems where inotify_init1 is not available
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.

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 8db3171b 2020-11-11T19:14:34 udev: Factor out SDL_EVDEV_GuessDeviceClass This works on capability bitfields that can either come from udev or from ioctls, so it is equally applicable to both udev and non-udev input device detection. Signed-off-by: Simon McVittie <smcv@collabora.com>
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.

Cameron Gutman 55eb7621 2019-11-20T20:27:45 Use stat() to minimize input device opens when not using udev Calling open() on input devices can generate device I/O which blocks the main thread and causes dropped frames. Using stat() we can avoid opening anything unless /dev/input has changed since we last polled. We could have used something fancy like inotify, but it didn't seem worth the added complexity for this uncommon non-udev case.
