A large part of the bugs seen right now are related to touchpads jittering too
much. Fixing them one by one is entertaining, but time consuming. Right now
the number of touchpads that require a hysteresis seem to outnumber those that
don't, so switch the approach around: leave the hysteresis in place but
disable it for those touchpads that don't need it.

The hwdb doesn't allow unsetting a property so once we start nesting model
flags it'll become important to be able to be able to unset one as well (by
assigning it to 0).
So rather than checking for existence, check whether the property is actually
set to something resembling a boolean.

This was introduced for bug 94379 - an X1 Carbon 3rd. Other touchpads have
different pressure change ranges, causing this condition to trigger
randomly and resulting in a jerky pointer motion.
For now, reduce the check to the *50 and *60 series touchpads until we have
data for more touchpads that we can add one-by-one.

This interface handles the buttons on the physical tablet itself, including
the touch ring and the strip.
A notable difference to other libinput interfaces here is that we do not use
linux/input.h event codes for buttons. Instead, the buttons are merely
numbered sequentially, starting at button 1. This means:
* the API is different, instead of get_button() we have get_button_number() to
drive the point home
* there is no seat button count. pads are inherently different devices and
compositors should treat them as such. The seat button count makes sense
when you want to know how many devices have BTN_LEFT down, but it makes no
sense for buttons where all the semantics are handled by the compositor
anyway.

When the touchpad is disabled, the top software button on the Lenovo T440
series touchpads currently enlarge by a factor of 1.5 (to 15mm). This is not
enough, a user has to rotate the wrist quite uncomfortable when using

When the touchpad itself is off anyway we can extend the size of the top

The only difference between evdev_pointer_notify_physical_button() and
evdev_pointer_notify_button() is that the former filters out middle button
emulations where applicable.
Doing so effectively disables using a button for scrolling that is also used
for middle button emulation. This is intentional, it is a niche use-case
(and prone to timer races). OTOH some devices exist that only have two buttons
on the pointing stick and require button scrolling. This use-case is given
preference.

This is especially a problem for the cursor tool which can be legitimately
left on the tablet. It wobbles by a couple of device units, resulting in
continuous axis updates to the caller. Pre-filter any of these events by the
axis' fuzz value so we don't even process them.
For ABS_DISTANCE which doesn't have a fuzz we hard-code a minimum fuzz of 2.
This should eventually land in the kernel though.

Middle button interaction is most commonly to paste and it is a single-event
interaction (button press). We provided middle button in software button mode
by emulating it with a two-finger press with L+R down at the same time. This
is also what many touchpads are spectacularly bad at, it is very common to
detect the physical button down event before the second finger registers,
resulting in left or right clicks where a middle button should be triggered.
Unless the fingers are resting on the touchpad for at least one scanout, the
success rate for middle button emulation is only at 70% or so.
This patch adds a 25%-width middle button area between the left and the right
software button, everything else stays the same. To avoid immediate breakage,
the middle button emulation remains but may be removed in the future.
The doc is updated to only refer to the middle button area now.

Resetting the motion history has the side-effect of swallowing movements, we
don't calculate deltas until we have 4 motion events. During a finger release,
we're likely to get a large pressure change between two events, resetting the
motion history prevents the cursor from jumping on release.
The value of 7 found by trial-and-error, tested on the T440 and T450 hardware.
The absolute value is highly variable but recordings show that the pressure
changes only by 1 or 2 units during normal interaction. Higher pressure
changes are during finger position changes but since those should not cause a
jump anyway, we tend to win there too.
Currently only enabled for negative pressure changes, let's see how we go with
that.
