65fd251c3913fc921468a3dad190810db19eb9df 18-Aug-2011 Jeff Brown <jeffbrown@google.com> Input system bug fixes, particularly for stylus.
Bug: 5049148

Finished stylus support, including support for indirect stylus
and mouse tools.

Added TILT axis. When stylus tilt X/Y is available, it is transformed
into an orientation and tilt inclination which is a more convenient
representation and a simpler extension to the exiting API.

Touch devices now only report touch data using a single input
source. Previously touch devices in pointer mode would report
both absolute touch pad data and cooked pointer gestures.
Now we just pick one. The touch device switches modes as needed
when the focused application enables/disables pointer gestures.
This change greatly simplifies the code and reduces the load
on the input dispatcher.

Fixed an incorrect assumption that the value of ABS_(MT_)DISTANCE
would be zero whenever the stylus was in direct contact. It appears
that the correct way to determine whether the stylus is in direct
contact (rather than hovering) is by checking for a non-zero
reported pressure.

Added code to read the initial state of tool buttons and axis values
when the input devices are initialized or reset. This fixes
problems where the input mapper state might have the wrong initial
state.

Moved responsibility for cancelling pending inputs (keys down,
touches, etc.) to the InputDispatcher by sending it a device reset
notification. This frees the InputReader from having to synthesize
events during reset, which was cumbersome and somewhat brittle
to begin with.

Consolidated more of the common accumulator logic from
SingleTouchInputMapper and MultiTouchInputMapper into
TouchInputMapper.

Improved the PointerLocation output.

Bug: 5064702

Introduced the concept of an InputListener to further decouple
the InputReader from the InputDispatcher. The InputListener
exposes just the minimum interface that the InputReader needs
to communicate with the outside world. The InputReader
passes arguments to the InputListener by reference, which makes
it easy to queue them up.

Consolidated all of the InputReader locks into one simple global
Mutex. The reason this wasn't done before was due to potential
re-entrance in outbound calls to the InputDispatcher. To fix this,
the InputReader now queues up all of the events it wants to send
using a QueuedInputListener, then flushes them outside of the
critical section after all of the event processing is finished.
Removing all of the InputMapper locks greatly simplifies the
implementation.

Added tests for new stylus features such as buttons, tool types,
and hovering.

Added some helpers to BitSet32 to handle common code patterns
like finding the first marked bit and clearing it.

Fixed a bug in VelocityTracker where the wrong pointer trace
could get cleared when handling ACTION_POINTER_DOWN. Oops.

Changed PointerCoords so it no longer stores useless zero
axis values. Removed editAxisValue because it is not very
useful when all zero value axes are absent and therefore
cannot be edited in place.

Added dispatch of stylus hover events.

Added support for distance and tool types.
