Starting with kernel v5.0 two new axes are available for high-resolution wheel
scrolling: REL_WHEEL_HI_RES and REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES. Both axes send data in
fractions of 120 where each multiple of 120 amounts to one logical scroll
event. Fractions of 120 indicate a wheel movement less than one detent.
This commit adds a new API for scroll events. Three new event types that encode
the axis source in the event type name and a new API to get a normalized-to-120
value that also used by Windows and the kernel (each multiple of 120 represents
a logical scroll click).
This addresses a main shortcoming with the existing API - it was unreliable to
calculate the click angle based on the axis value+discrete events and thus any
caller using the axis value alone would be left with some ambiguity. With the
v120 API it's now possible to (usually) calculate the click angle, but more
importantly it provides the simplest hw-independent way of scrolling by a
click or a fraction of a click.
A new event type is required, the only way to integrate the v120 value
otherwise was to start sending events with a discrete value of 0. This
would break existing xf86-input-libinput (divide by zero, fixed in 0.28.2) and
weston (general confusion). mutter, kwin are unaffected.
With the new API, the old POINTER_AXIS event are deprecated - callers should use
the new API where available and discard any POINTER_AXIS events.
Notable: REL_WHEEL/REL_HWHEEL are emulated by the kernel but there's no
guarantee that they'll come every accumulated 120 values, e.g. Logitech mice
often send events that don't add up to 120 per detent.
We use the kernel's wheel click emulation instead of doing our own.
libinput guarantees high-resolution events even on pre-5.0 kernels.

When one finger is used to hold, tiny pointer movement deltas can easily
end the gesture.
Add a movement threshold to avoid small movement, before or after the hold
timeout, ending the gesture and make the hold-to-interact user
interaction more reliable.

When 1 or 2 fingers are used to hold, use a faster timer to make the
"hold to stop kinetic scrolling" user interaction feel more immediate.
Also handle double tap and tap and drag interations to send only one
hold gesture instead of two.
Holding with 3 or 4 fingers remains the same to try to avoid callers
missusing hold gestures to build their own tap implementation.

Add an extra parameter to the common gesture test functions to allow to hold
before performing the gesture.
This parameter will be used by the hold tests allowing to share the code.

Valgrind can be too slow to run some time based tests. In those cases, we
need to disable hold gestures.
Add the required functions to configure hold gestures: enable, disable,
get default state and get current state.
Keep them private as they are intended to be used only from the tests.

The group names are forced by check (they are called suite names there) but
for our test suite they provide very little benefit. Much easier to just
use the filename a test is in as group name.
This removes the pure substring match for --filter-group, it's now fnmatch
only. group names are short enough that the typing isn't an issue and we don't
want to run tests twice (e.g. 'pad' is also in 'touchpad').
This patch caused #574 until it got fixed in d838e3a3a4

This is prep work for future devices that announce a wrong slot count. For the
tests this can be a problem if we rely on the correct slot count to decided
whether to run a test or not.

Put some basic location checks in, if the fingers are next to each other and
vertically close, assume scroll over swipe.

When a touchpad has thumb detection enabled, avoid false-positive gestures
involving a resting thumb by using two thresholds: inner and outer.
While both touches remain inside their inner thresholds, remain in UNKNOWN
state to allow for accurate gesture detection even with no timeout.
If both touches move outside their inner thresholds, start a pinch or
swipe/scroll gesture according to direction, as usual.
If one touch moves outside its outer threshold while the other has not yet
exceeded its inner threshold, and thumb detection is enabled, then if one
touch is >20mm lower, mark it as a thumb and cancel the gesture.

A device may have 1 or 2 slots without setting BTN_TOOL_TRIPLETAP, those

This forces events for every ~10ms now. If we want a slower movement, we need
more steps - just like a real touchpad does it.
Cocinelle spatch files were variants of:
@@
expression A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K;
@@
- litest_touch_move_two_touches(A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I)
+ litest_touch_move_two_touches(A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H)
The only test that needed a real fix was touchpad_no_palm_detect_2fg_scroll,
it used 12ms before, now it's using 10ms so on the bcm5974 touchpad the second
finger was a speed-thumb. Increasing the events and thus slowing down the
pointer means it's a normal finger and the test succeeds again.

We don't know the position of the third finger on 2-slot touchpads, differing
between swipe and pinch is reliable. Simply disable 3-finger pinch and always
use swipe; 3fg pinch is uncommon anyway and it's better to have one of the
gestures working reliably than both unreliably.

They weren't originally prefixed but the various tests were, but now that we
only have one test runner binary anyway, the prefix helps sorting the files
easily within e.g. gcov results.
