The tablet tilt range may be set as [-N, M] in which case we assume that
a value of zero is vertical (and thus should result in a libinput tilt
value of zero). Unfortunately some tablets report an even total value
range, e.g. [-64, 63] so zero is not actually the mathematical center of
the axis.
Fix this by bumping the axis maximum so zero becomes the logical center.
All devices we've seen so far have [-A, (A-1)] as range so bumping it by
one makes it symmetric.
Like the input axis, a normalized range has min/max inclusive so we
cannot use the absinfo_range() helper which assumes the max is exclusive.
Reverts parts of 4effe6b1b9
Fixing the range is only required when the output range is not inclusive
of the min/max (such as when mapping an abs axis to a screen width).
Our pressure range is inclusive 0.0 and 1.0, so we want absinfo->maximum
to map to exactly 1.0
This reverts commit a5b6f4009b.
And add a test to make sure the tool we know that has three buttons (Pro
Pen 3) can send all those. Enough to run that test one one compatible
device, no real benefit of running it on all tablet devices.
The range is (max - min + 1) because the kernel range is inclusive min
and max. Let's fix that once and for all with a helper function.

detect_pressure_offset() currently rejects offsets that are greater than
20%. My graphics tablet (Wacom Bamboo Fun) is about 30%. The pen tip is
2 mm. Wacom recommends replacing at 1 mm, which means this isn't worn
out yet and we should instead increase the limit to make these devices
usable.
Without this change a "pen down" event happens simultaneously with the
pen being detected -- about 1 cm above the surface -- and producing
libinput pressure of about 0.30. This means you start drawing "in the
air", without knowing up front where the cursor is going to be.

Previously we only applied pressure offset handling for tablets that
supported ABS_DISTANCE. Detecting a pressure offset when the tool
doesn't actually touch the surface is easy after all.
But tablets without distance handling may also have a pressure offset,
so let's try to detect this. This is obviously harder since the pen will
always touch the tablet's surface whenever it is in proximity and thus
will always have *some* pressure applied to it.
The process here is to merely observe the minimum pressure value during
the first two strokes of the pen. On the third prox in, that minimum
pressure value is taken as the offset. If the pressure drops below the
offset, the offset is adjusted downwards [1] so over time we'll
get closer to the pen's real offset.
[1] this is already done for distance tablets too

detect_pressure_offset() would previously update an existing offset but
otherwise skip most of the work for any event other than proximity-in
events. This was too hidden, let's split this into two functions - one
to update an existing offset and another one to detect a new offset.

Right now for touch arbitration to work, we require the device group to
be the same (i.e. they're hanging off the same physical bus). That's not
always the case and statistically we have a lot more devices that have
a built-in tablet + touchscreen than we have Intuos-like external
tablets.
So let's default to the more common case - enabling arbitration with the
first touchscreen/external touchpad we find. If a subsequent device is
"better", swap it out. Right now, the only heuristic we have here is the
device group check but in the future we could get more precise.

Tools default to 1% lower threshold (tip up) and 5% upper threshold (tip
down). But our distance vs pressure exclusion would reset the distance
for *any* pressure value, regardless how low that value was and how high
distance was in comparison.
A very low pressure value of less than 1% would then result in a
normalized pressure of 0, so we'd effectively just reset the distance to
zero and do nothing with the pressure. This can cause distance jumps
when the tool arbitrarily sends low pressure values while hovering as
seen in https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/pull/5481#issuecomment-1118969064
Commit 61bdc05fb0 from Dec 2017
"tablet: set the tip-up pressure threshold to 1%"
was presumably to address this but no longer (?) works.
Fix this by addressing multiple issues at the same time:
- anything under that 1% threshold is now considered as zero pressure
and any distance value is kept as-is. Once pressure reaches 1%,
distance is always zero.
- axis normalization is now from 1% to 100% (previously: upper threshold
to 100%). So a tip down event should always have ~4% pressure and we
may get tablet motion events with nonzero pressure before the tip down
event.
From memory, this was always intended anyway since a tip event should
require some significant pressure, maybe too high compared to e.g.
pressure-sensitive painting
- where a tablet has an offset, add the same 1%/5% thresholds, on top of
that offset. And keep adjusting those thresholds as we change the
offset. Assuming that the offset is the absolute minimum a worn-out
pen can reach, this gives us the same behaviour as a new pen. The
calculation here uses a simple approach so the actual range is
slightly larger than 5% but it'll do.
Previously, the lower threshold for an offset pen was the axis minimum
but that can never be reached. So there was probably an undiscovered
bug in there.
And fix a bunch of comments that were either wrong, confusing or
incomplete, e.g. the pressure thresholds were already in device
coordinates.

The Wacom 524C device triggers a kernel bug in the InRange and Invert
handling. Every time BTN_TOUCH is set/unset the device also sets/unsets
BTN_TOOL_PEN even when we nominally have the eraser in proximity.
The event sequence effectively looks like this:
# on prox in
BTN_TOOL_RUBBER 1
-- SYN_REPORT ---
# on tip down
BTN_TOOL_PEN 1
BTN_TOUCH 1
-- SYN_REPORT ---
# on tip up
BTN_TOUCH 0
BTN_TOOL_PEN 0
-- SYN_REPORT ---
# on prox out
BTN_TOOL_RUBBER 1
-- SYN_REPORT ---
To work around this, bias our duplicate tool detection code towards the
eraser - if we have an eraser in-prox already and the pen goes
in-prox, ignore it and continue with the eraser. But if we have a pen
in-prox and the eraser goes in-prox as well, force a prox-out for the
pen and put the eraser in-prox.

suggests that AES devices have lower noise than the older EMR
devices, so let's try disabling it for those devices.
We can't directly get the AES devices in libinput unless we want to add a
whole bunch of quirks for the various vid/pid combinations. But we can get
that info from libwacom, primarily because we know that libwacom will list all
known AES pens for any device. So we can check for one that we know of (0x11)
and if it's in the list, the tablet is an AES tablet.
Setting the history size to 1 means we never do any actual smoothing.

With the previous patches a tablet would ignore a valid proximity out sequence
where it happends after a forced prox-out. Fix this by checking the state when

This appears to be the only tablet where this fix was needed, but we've been
playing whack-a-mole ever since to work around the various other tablets that
break with this behavior in place.
So let's revert that fix and hope there aren't any other tablets out there
(and if they are, we can probably quirk those). The revert makes the ISDV4 pen
quirk obsolete (see 9cb089f2b6), so this was
folded into this commit.

The Aiptek 8000U has a pressure offset above our default (%5) but no
meaningful way of detecting that. It doesn't provide distance or BTN_TOOL_PEN
either, so our heuristics can't hook onto anything. BTN_TOUCH is set by this
tablet but not at consistent pressure thresholds.
Work around this by shipping a quirk that ups it to 70. Aiptek
re-uses USB IDs because of course they do, so this applies to more than one
device. Let's see what breaks.

Where a pen was forced out of proximity and an eraser came into proximity
without axis updates on the prox-in, subsequent axis updates would trigger the
pen back into proximity. This resulted in two tools in proximity at once
though the new pen never went out of proximity
This would trigger crashes in various compositors/applications, see
https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/issues/1141#issuecomment-578362497
The cause was a wrong condition introduced in ffd8c71e4e. We only need to
force the pen bit on if the current tool state is currently zero and no tool
update was sent with the axis event. In our case, the tool state is nonzero
already (eraser) and we can skip this bit.

Some graphics tablets (most or all Wacom, for example) do not emit
proximity out events when the tablet pen goes out of range. To
compensate for this, libinput synthesizes proximity out events when no
events are received for a certain period of time. Unfortunately, on some
tablets, this is fairly failure prone when moving the pen slowly. As a
workaround, this patch causes libinput to avoid synthesizing proximity
out events when the pen is still in contact with the tablet pad, as
defined by the TABLET_TOOL_IN_CONTACT status.
Pens that don't have a pressure offset (caused by a worn-out tip) still have
basic pressure thresholds to avoid tip events when we're still a bit away from
the tablet or barely touching it. That range is currently 5% of the pressure
for tip down, 1% for tip up.
This leaves us with 95% of the range and that needs to be scaled correctly,
otherwise the bottom 5% happen before a tip event and are inaccessible where
applications don't look at pressure before tip down.

Previously, the pressure range was calculated from the axis total range. A
device with a pressure offset making the bottom 10% inaccessible would lose
10% of that range as non-accessible. Due to the implementation, this affected
the upper range of the device, so the top N percent became unaccessible. Which
may be why no-one's noticed this yet.
