[PATCH libevdev] include: add uinput.h header as well

Mon Jun 23 19:59:38 PDT 2014


Older kernels don't have UI_GET_SYSNAME, and upstream is adding a few more
ioctls to the uinput code. So ship the header we're using to avoid compilation
errors.

+ * To write a force-feedback-capable driver, the upload_effect
+ * and erase_effect callbacks in input_dev must be implemented.
+ * The uinput driver will generate a fake input event when one of
+ * these callbacks are invoked. The userspace code then uses
+ * ioctls to retrieve additional parameters and send the return code.
+ * The callback blocks until this return code is sent.
+ *
+ * The described callback mechanism is only used if ff_effects_max
+ * is set.
+ *
+ * To implement upload_effect():
+ *   1. Wait for an event with type == EV_UINPUT and code == UI_FF_UPLOAD.
+ *      A request ID will be given in 'value'.
+ *   2. Allocate a uinput_ff_upload struct, fill in request_id with
+ *      the 'value' from the EV_UINPUT event.
+ *   3. Issue a UI_BEGIN_FF_UPLOAD ioctl, giving it the
+ *      uinput_ff_upload struct. It will be filled in with the
+ *      ff_effects passed to upload_effect().
+ *   4. Perform the effect upload, and place a return code back into
+        the uinput_ff_upload struct.
+ *   5. Issue a UI_END_FF_UPLOAD ioctl, also giving it the
+ *      uinput_ff_upload_effect struct. This will complete execution
+ *      of our upload_effect() handler.
+ *
+ * To implement erase_effect():
+ *   1. Wait for an event with type == EV_UINPUT and code == UI_FF_ERASE.
+ *      A request ID will be given in 'value'.
+ *   2. Allocate a uinput_ff_erase struct, fill in request_id with
+ *      the 'value' from the EV_UINPUT event.
+ *   3. Issue a UI_BEGIN_FF_ERASE ioctl, giving it the
+ *      uinput_ff_erase struct. It will be filled in with the
+ *      effect ID passed to erase_effect().
+ *   4. Perform the effect erasure, and place a return code back
+ *      into the uinput_ff_erase struct.
+ *   5. Issue a UI_END_FF_ERASE ioctl, also giving it the
