Lenovo trackpoints are adding the ability to generate a doubletap event.
This handles the doubletap event and sends the KEY_PROG1 event to
userspace.

Changes in v2:
- Use KEY_PROG1 instead of KEY_DOUBLETAP as input maintainer doesn't
want new un-specific key codes added.
- Add doubletap to hotkey scan code table and use existing hotkey
functionality.
- Tested using evtest, and then gnome settings to configure a custom shortcut
to launch an application.

Hi Mark,
Thank you for the new version of this series, overall this looks good,
one small remark below.

I understand why you've done this but I think this needs a comment,
something like:
/*
* For TP_HKEY_EV_TRACK_DOUBLETAP, unlike the codes above which map to:
* (hkey_event - 0x1300) + TP_ACPI_HOTKEYSCAN_EXTENDED_START, this is
* hardcoded for TP_HKEY_EV_TRACK_DOUBLETAP handling. Therefor this must
* always be the last entry (after any 0x1300-0x13ff entries).
*/
+ TP_ACPI_HOTKEYSCAN_DOUBLETAP,
I see you got adding the new 0x13xx related hkeyscancodes right in the next
patch in this series but I think such a comment as above will be helpful
for future patches.
If you agree with adding this comment I can add this while merging, no need
to send a new version just for this.
Regards,
Hans

Ugh, actually this will not work becuuse we want hotkeyscancodes to be stable
because these are userspace API since they can be remapped using hwdb so we
cannot have the hotkeyscancode changing when new 0x1300-0x13ff range entries
get added.
So we need to either grow the table a lot and reserve a whole bunch of space
for future 0x13xx - 0x13ff codes or maybe something like this:

or just hardcode KEY_PROG1 like your previous patch does, but I'm not
a fan of that because of loosing hwdb remapping functionality for this
"key" then.
Note I'm open to other suggestions.

Oh...I hadn't thought of that impact. That's not great :(
I have an idea, but want to prototype it to see if it works out or not. Will update once I've had a chance to play with it.

Thinking more about this I just realized that the input subsystem
already has a mechanism for dealing with scancode ranges with
(big) holes in them in the form of linux/input/sparse-keymap.h .
I think that what needs to be done is convert the existing code
to use sparse-keymap, keeping the mapping of the "MHKP"
returned hkey codes to internal TP_ACPI_HOTKEYSCAN_* values
for currently supported "MHKP" hkey codes for compatibility
and then for new codes just directly map them in the sparse map
aka the struct key_entry table. After converting the existing code
to use sparse-keymap, then for the new events we would simply add:
{ KE_KEY, 0x131d, { KEY_VENDOR} }, /* Fn + N, system debug info */
{ KE_KEY, 0x8036, { KEY_PROG1 } }, /* Trackpoint doubletap */
entries to the table without needing to define intermediate
TP_ACPI_HOTKEYSCAN_* values for these.
I already have somewhat of a design for this in my head and I really
believe this is the way forward as it uses existing kernel infra
and it will avoid hitting this problem again when some other new
"MHKP" hkey codes show up.
I plan to start working on implementing conversion of the existing
code to use sparse-keymap, which should result in a nice cleanup
after lunch and I hope to have something for you to test no later
then next Tuesday.

Ah! I didn't know about sparse-keymap but it looks similar to what I was thinking and played with a bit last night. Agreed using existing infrastructure is better.
Only things I'd flag is that:
- It did look like it would be useful to identify keys that the driver handles (there aren't many but a few). Maybe one of the other key types can help handle that?
- There are also some keys that use the tpacpi_input_send_key_masked that might need some special consideration.

That would be amazing - do let me know if there is anything I can help with. Agreed this will help clean up a bunch of the keycode handling :)

I noticed a small problem while working on this. The hwdb shipped with
systemd has:
# thinkpad_acpi driver
evdev:name:ThinkPad Extra Buttons:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnIBM*:pn*:*
KEYBOARD_KEY_01=battery # Fn+F2
KEYBOARD_KEY_02=screenlock # Fn+F3
KEYBOARD_KEY_03=sleep # Fn+F4
KEYBOARD_KEY_04=wlan # Fn+F5
KEYBOARD_KEY_06=switchvideomode # Fn+F7
KEYBOARD_KEY_07=zoom # Fn+F8 screen expand
KEYBOARD_KEY_08=f24 # Fn+F9 undock
KEYBOARD_KEY_0b=suspend # Fn+F12
KEYBOARD_KEY_0f=brightnessup # Fn+Home
KEYBOARD_KEY_10=brightnessdown # Fn+End
KEYBOARD_KEY_11=kbdillumtoggle # Fn+PgUp - ThinkLight
KEYBOARD_KEY_13=zoom # Fn+Space
KEYBOARD_KEY_14=volumeup
KEYBOARD_KEY_15=volumedown
KEYBOARD_KEY_16=mute
KEYBOARD_KEY_17=prog1 # ThinkPad/ThinkVantage button (high k
Notice the last line, this last line maps the old thinkpad /
thinkvantage key: https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkPad_Button
which is define by the kernel as KEY_VENDOR to KEY_PROG1 to
use a keycode below 240 for X11 compatiblity which does not
handle higher keycodes.
This means that in practice at least on older models
KEY_PROG1 is already taken and the thinkpad / thinkvantage key
does the same (open lenovo help center / sysinfo) as
what the new Fn + N key combo does. So it does makes sense
to map Fn + N to KEY_VENDOR so those align but given the existing
remapping of the thinkpad / thinkvantage key to PROG1 I think
it would be better to not use PROG1 for the doubletap.
I guess we can just use PROG2 instead to avoid the overlap
with the remapped old ThinkPad / ThinkVantage buttons
(which are more like Fn + N then doubletap).

Hans

Interesting as there has never been a Linux version of Vantage (we've looked into it and want to take pieces of it, but most of what is in Vantage doesn't make a lot of sense for Linux).
Using Prog2 sounds simple to me - no problems with that.
