Touchpads that don't give us useful palm detection data are getting more
common (see e.g. our ABS_MT_TOOL_TYPE quirks). On those touchpads we can
only rely on dwt and palm edge detection which means those two must be
more spot on than ever before.
DWT in particular is more prone to user-specific requirements, the
current timeouts have been insufficient for a number of users. So let's
make them more configurable.
Currently limited to >100ms and <5 seconds to avoid DWT being used in
the xkcd workflow style.

Commit 94b7836456 ("filter: support accelerating high-resolution
scroll wheel events") introduced a regression where high-res scroll
wheel events were incorrectly normalized by DPI. Mice with non-default
DPI (e.g., Logitech G502 at 2400 DPI) had their scroll wheel speed
reduced by the DPI ratio (1000/2400), resulting in 2-3x slower
scrolling.
The "noop" filter functions were actually performing DPI normalization
or applying a constant acceleration factor, which is appropriate for
button scrolling but incorrect for scroll wheels that have their own
units.
Add a filter_scroll_type enum (CONTINOUS, WHEEL, FINGER to match the
public events) passed through the filter_scroll interface. Update all
filter implementations to skip acceleration and normalization for wheel
events while maintaining existing behavior for button scrolling and
touchpad scrolling.
The custom acceleration profile continues to accelerate high-res wheel
events as designed.

Also a long-requested configuration option but it's difficult to expose
- depending on the touchpad we utilize different palm detection methods
and in theory may add to those at any time as we see fit.
Disabling it completely via a configuration option is only going to get
us more bug reports because *some* palm detection is likely desired on
most setups. So let's allow disabling it in a plugin and thus leave any
further palm detection code up to the plugin.

Over the years we had a few devices that required some special

In commit 9a9466b6a9 ("evdev: discard any frame with EV_SYN SYN_REPORT 1")
all frames with a SYN_REPORT 1 were discarded on the assumption of those
being key repeat frames. Unfortunately the kernel uses the same sequence
to simply mark *any* injected/emulated event, regardless of the cause. Key repeat
events are merely the most numerous ones but as shown in commit
7140f13d82 ("evdev: track KEY_SYSRQ frames and pass them even as repeat frames")
Alt+PrintScreen is also an emulated event.
Issue #1165 details another case: keyboards with n-key rollover can
exceed the kernel-internal event buffer, typically 8 events for devices
without EV_REL/EV_ABS. Those events will be broken up by the kernel into
multiple frames - once nevents == buffer_size the current state is
flushed as SYN_REPORT 1 frame. Then, if any more events are pending
those are flushed as SYN_REPORT 0 frame. In the case of exactly 8
events, the second frame is never present, so we cannot easily detect if
another one is coming.
Issue #1145 only affects us in the touchpad code, the rest of the
backends seem to (so far) be fine. So let's move the discarding of
SYN_REPORT 1 to the touchpad backend and leave the rest of the code
as-is.

Exposed via new configuration option this enables 3 and 4 finger
dragging on touchpads. When enabled a 3/4 finger swipe
gesture is actually a button down + motion + button up sequence.
If tapping is disabled the drag starts immediately, if tapping is
enabled the drag starts after the tap timeout/motion so we can distinguish
between a tap and a drag.
When fingers are released:
- if two fingers remain -> keep dragging
- if one finger remains -> release drag, switch to pointer motion
When 3/4 fingers are set down immediately after releasing all fingers
the drag continues, similar to the tap drag lock feature. This drag lock
is not currently configurable.
This matches the macos behavior for the same feature.

There appears to be a race condition where an ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID -1
event is on the wire but libevdev_fetch_slot_value() for that slot
already gives us -1 as well.
If we just (re)opened our device, synching our slots would thus set zero
active slots and then trigger the assert when that event is being
processed.
It's unclear how to reliably reproduce this issue but removing the
assert and simply ignoring this event if we don't have active slots
is correct anyway.

We ignore modifiers for disable-while-typing because we don't want to
disable the touchpad for things like shift-click or ctrl-click.
We also do remember the modifier state so that we don't disable the
touchpad for once-offs like ctrl+s.
Shift is however a special case - shift + something else is means the
user is typing and we should disable the touchpad for that.

Where a more generic match assigns a palm threshold to a device, allow

And remove the bug log for palm size threshold of 0 for the same reason.

The custom acceleration profile allow the user to define custom
acceleration functions for each movement type per device, giving
full control over accelerations behavior at different speeds.
This commit introduces 2 movement types which corresponds to the
2 profiles currently in use by libinput.
regular filter is Motion type.
constant filter is Fallback type.
This allows possible expansion of new movement types for the
different devices.
The custom pointer acceleration profile gives the user full control over the
acceleration behavior at different speeds.
The user needs to provide a custom acceleration function f(x) where
the x-axis is the device speed and the y-axis is the pointer speed.
The user should take into account the native device dpi and screen dpi in
order to achieve the desired behavior/feel of the acceleration.
The custom acceleration function is defined using n points which are spaced
uniformly along the x-axis, starting from 0 and continuing in constant steps.
There by the points defining the custom function are:
(0 * step, f[0]), (1 * step, f[1]), ..., ((n-1) * step, f[n-1])
where f is a list of n unitless values defining the acceleration
factor for each velocity.
When a velocity value does not lie exactly on those points, a linear
interpolation of the two closest points will be calculated.
When a velocity value is greater than the max point defined, a linear
extrapolation of the two biggest points will be calculated.

Unlike in traditional touchpads, whose pressure value equals contact
size, on pressure pads pressure is a real physical axis.
We don't take advantage of the pressure information reported by

The escape key can be used to cancel a drag and drop action in some
desktop environments. However, it triggers disable-while-typing, ending
the drag and drop action rather than cancelling it.
Add it to the tp_key_ignore_for_dwt() set to avoid it.

ignored by tp_key_ignore_for_dwt().

If a touchpad is removed before its dwt-paired keyboard, we're leaking
the keyboard struct. Fix this by cleaning up properly when our device is
removed.
This is the cause of many failed tests in the udev backend tests during
the CI valgrind run. Because we're testing the udev backend it will add
any devices created by tests run in parallel, some of which are keyboard
devices. Depening on the test completions, the keyboards may or may not
get removed before this device.

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.

Hold gestures are notifications about fingers on the touchpad.
There is no coordinate attached to a hold gesture, merely the number of fingers.
A hold gesture starts when the user places a finger on the touchpad and
ends when all fingers are lifted. It is cancelled when the finger(s) move
past applicable thresholds and trigger some other interaction like pointer
movement or scrolling.

The way touchpads (generally) work is that they get the position of each
finger on each scanout. The kernel filters touches that haven't moved to
reduce bandwidth so any touch that is logically down that we don't see an
update for is in the same position as during the last scanout.
Previously, touches that didn't sent events were effectively ignored, causing
our jump detection to fail:
- time t0: touch moves to position x/y, motion history time is set to t0
- time t1..t5: touch remains at position for several frames, no updates to the
motion history
- time t6: touch jumps to position x+a/y+b
- tp_detect_jumps() sees the last update time is t0 which is too long ago
and exits without detecting a jump
This is fixed by pushing to the motion history any time we have *any* update -
if the touchpad notices a state change on any touch update all touches with
their current position, whether it changed or not.
This obsoletes the `time` field in the tp_touch struct, most of this patch is
passing down the current time to the few users of t->time.
