/*
 * Interaction with suspend mode
 *
 * Unless otherwise noted, an enabled sensor shall not prevent the
 * SoC to go into suspend mode. It is the responsibility of applications
 * to keep a partial wake-lock should they wish to receive sensor
 * events while the screen is off. While in suspend mode, and unless
 * otherwise noted (batch mode, sensor particularities, ...), enabled sensors'
 * events are lost.
 *
 * Note that conceptually, the sensor itself is not de-activated while in
 * suspend mode -- it's just that the data it returns are lost. As soon as
 * the SoC gets out of suspend mode, operations resume as usual. Of course,
 * in practice sensors shall be disabled while in suspend mode to
 * save power, unless batch mode is active, in which case they must
 * continue fill their internal FIFO (see the documentation of batch() to
 * learn how suspend interacts with batch mode).
 *
 * In batch mode, and only when the flag SENSORS_BATCH_WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL is
 * set and supported, the specified sensor must be able to wake-up the SoC and
 * be able to buffer at least 10 seconds worth of the requested sensor events.
 *
 * There are notable exceptions to this behavior, which are sensor-dependent
 * (see sensor types definitions below)
 *
 *
 * The sensor type documentation below specifies the wake-up behavior of
 * each sensor:
 *   wake-up: yes     this sensor must wake-up the SoC to deliver events
 *   wake-up: no      this sensor shall not wake-up the SoC, events are dropped
 *
 */

/*
 * Sensor type
 *
 * Each sensor has a type which defines what this sensor measures and how
 * measures are reported. All types are defined below.
 *
 * Device manufacturers (OEMs) can define their own sensor types, for
 * their private use by applications or services provided by them. Such
 * sensor types are specific to an OEM and can't be exposed in the SDK.
 * These types must start at SENSOR_TYPE_DEVICE_PRIVATE_BASE.
 *
 * All sensors defined outside of the device private range must correspond to
 * a type defined in this file, and must satisfy the characteristics listed in
 * the description of the sensor type.
 *
 * Starting with version SENSORS_DEVICE_API_VERSION_1_2, each sensor also
 * has a stringType.
 *  - StringType of sensors inside of the device private range MUST be prefixed
 *    by the sensor provider's or OEM reverse domain name. In particular, they
 *    cannot use the "android.sensor" prefix.
 *  - StringType of sensors outside of the device private range MUST correspond
 *    to the one defined in this file (starting with "android.sensor").
 *    For example, accelerometers must have
 *      type=SENSOR_TYPE_ACCELEROMETER and
 *      stringType=SENSOR_STRING_TYPE_ACCELEROMETER
 *
 * When android introduces a new sensor type that can replace an OEM-defined
 * sensor type, the OEM must use the official sensor type and stringType on
 * versions of the HAL that support this new official sensor type.
 *
 * Example (made up): Suppose Google's Glass team wants to surface a sensor
 * detecting that Glass is on a head.
 *  - Such a sensor is not officially supported in android KitKat
 *  - Glass devices launching on KitKat can implement a sensor with
 *    type = 0x10001 and stringType = "com.google.glass.onheaddetector"
 *  - In L android release, if android decides to define
 *    SENSOR_TYPE_ON_HEAD_DETECTOR and STRING_SENSOR_TYPE_ON_HEAD_DETECTOR,
 *    those types should replace the Glass-team-specific types in all future
 *    launches.
 *  - When launching glass on the L release, Google should now use the official
 *    type (SENSOR_TYPE_ON_HEAD_DETECTOR) and stringType.
 *  - This way, all applications can now use this sensor.
 */

#define SENSOR_TYPE_DEVICE_PRIVATE_BASE     0x10000

/*
 * Sensor fusion and virtual sensors
 *
 * Many sensor types are or can be implemented as virtual sensors from
 * physical sensors on the device. For instance the rotation vector sensor,
 * orientation sensor, step-detector, step-counter, etc...
 *
 * From the point of view of this API these virtual sensors MUST appear as
 * real, individual sensors. It is the responsibility of the driver and HAL
 * to make sure this is the case.
 *
 * In particular, all sensors must be able to function concurrently.
 * For example, if defining both an accelerometer and a step counter,
 * then both must be able to work concurrently.
 */

/*
 * Trigger modes
 *
 * Sensors can report events in different ways called trigger modes,
 * each sensor type has one and only one trigger mode associated to it.
 * Currently there are four trigger modes defined:
 *
 * continuous: events are reported at a constant rate defined by setDelay().
 *             eg: accelerometers, gyroscopes.
 * on-change:  events are reported only if the sensor's value has changed.
 *             setDelay() is used to set a lower limit to the reporting
 *             period (minimum time between two events).
 *             The HAL must return an event immediately when an on-change
 *             sensor is activated.
 *             eg: proximity, light sensors
 * one-shot:   upon detection of an event, the sensor deactivates itself and
 *             then sends a single event. Order matters to avoid race
 *             conditions. No other event is sent until the sensor get
 *             reactivated. setDelay() is ignored.
 *             eg: significant motion sensor
 * special:    see details in the sensor type specification below

 *
 * The rotation vector symbolizes the orientation of the device relative to the

 *
 * The East-North-Up coordinate system is defined as a direct orthonormal basis
 * where:
 * - X points east and is tangential to the ground.
 * - Y points north and is tangential to the ground.
 * - Z points towards the sky and is perpendicular to the ground.

 * align the East-North-Up coordinates with the phone's coordinates. That is,
 * applying the rotation to the world frame (X,Y,Z) would align them with the
 * phone coordinates (x,y,z).
 *
 * The rotation can be seen as rotating the phone by an angle theta around
 * an axis rot_axis to go from the reference (East-North-Up aligned) device
 * orientation to the current device orientation.
 *
 * The rotation is encoded as the 4 (reordered) components of a unit quaternion:
 *   sensors_event_t.data[0] = rot_axis.x*sin(theta/2)
 *   sensors_event_t.data[1] = rot_axis.y*sin(theta/2)

 * where

 *   - theta is the rotation angle
 *

 * this will cause erratic client behaviour.

 * SENSOR_TYPE_SIGNIFICANT_MOTION
 * trigger-mode: one-shot
 * wake-up sensor: yes
 *
 * A sensor of this type triggers an event each time significant motion
 * is detected and automatically disables itself.
 * The only allowed value to return is 1.0.
 *
 * A significant motion is a motion that might lead to a change in the user
 * location.
 * Examples of such motions are:
 *   walking, biking, sitting in a moving car, coach or train.
 * Examples of situations that should not trigger significant motion:
 * - phone in pocket and person is not moving
 * - phone is on a table, even if the table shakes a bit due to nearby traffic
 *   or washing machine
 *
 * A note on false positive / false negative / power consumption tradeoff
 *  - The goal of this sensor is to save power.
 *  - Triggering an event when the user is not moving (false positive) is costly
 *    in terms of power, so it should be avoided.
 *  - Not triggering an event when the user is moving (false negative) is
 *    acceptable as long as it is not done repeatedly. If the user has been
 *    walking for 10 seconds, not triggering an event within those 10 seconds
 *    is not acceptable.
 *
 *  IMPORTANT NOTE: this sensor type is very different from other types
 *  in that it must work when the screen is off without the need of
 *  holding a partial wake-lock and MUST allow the SoC to go into suspend.
 *  When significant motion is detected, the sensor must awaken the SoC and
 *  the event be reported.
 *
 *  If a particular hardware cannot support this mode of operation then this
 *  sensor type MUST NOT be reported by the HAL. ie: it is not acceptable
 *  to "emulate" this sensor in the HAL.
 *
 *  The whole point of this sensor type is to save power by keeping the
 *  SoC in suspend mode when the device is at rest.
 *
 *  When the sensor is not activated, it must also be deactivated in the
 *  hardware: it must not wake up the SoC anymore, even in case of
 *  significant motion.
 *
 *  setDelay() has no effect and is ignored.
 *  Once a "significant motion" event is returned, a sensor of this type
 *  must disables itself automatically, as if activate(..., 0) had been called.

 *

 * be in use as well.
 *
 * This sensor must be low power. That is, if the step detection cannot be

 * SENSOR_TYPE_STEP_COUNTER
 * trigger-mode: on-change

 *
 * A sensor of this type returns the number of steps taken by the user since

 * reset to zero only on a system / android reboot.
 *
 * The timestamp of the event is set to the time when the first step
 * for that event was taken.
 * See SENSOR_TYPE_STEP_DETECTOR for the signification of the time of a step.
 *
 *  The minimum size of the hardware's internal counter shall be 16 bits
 *  (this restriction is here to avoid too frequent wake-ups when the
 *  delay is very large).
 *
 *  IMPORTANT NOTE: this sensor type is different from other types
 *  in that it must work when the screen is off without the need of
 *  holding a partial wake-lock and MUST allow the SoC to go into suspend.
 *  Unlike other sensors, while in suspend mode this sensor must stay active,
 *  no events are reported during that time but, steps continue to be
 *  accounted for; an event will be reported as soon as the SoC resumes if
 *  the timeout has expired.
 *
 *    In other words, when the screen is off and the device allowed to
 *    go into suspend mode, we don't want to be woken up, regardless of the
 *    setDelay() value, but the steps shall continue to be counted.
 *
 *    The driver must however ensure that the internal step count never

 *    driver can do the counter maintenance.

     *
     * BATCH MODE:
     * -----------
     * In non-batch mode, all sensor events must be reported as soon as they
     * are detected. For example, an accelerometer activated at 50Hz will
     * trigger interrupts 50 times per second.
     * While in batch mode, sensor events do not need to be reported as soon
     * as they are detected. They can be temporarily stored in batches and
     * reported in batches, as long as no event is delayed by more than
     * "timeout" nanoseconds. That is, all events since the previous batch
     * are recorded and returned all at once. This allows to reduce the amount
     * of interrupts sent to the SoC, and allow the SoC to switch to a lower
     * power state (Idle) while the sensor is capturing and batching data.
     *
     * setDelay() is not affected and it behaves as usual.
     *
     * Each event has a timestamp associated with it, the timestamp
     * must be accurate and correspond to the time at which the event
     * physically happened.
     *
     * Batching does not modify the behavior of poll(): batches from different
     * sensors can be interleaved and split. As usual, all events from the same
     * sensor are time-ordered.
     *
     * BEHAVIOUR OUTSIDE OF SUSPEND MODE:
     * ----------------------------------
     *
     * When the SoC is awake (not in suspend mode), events must be reported in
     * batches at least every "timeout". No event shall be dropped or lost.
     * If internal h/w FIFOs fill-up before the timeout, then events are
     * reported at that point to ensure no event is lost.
     *
     *
     * NORMAL BEHAVIOR IN SUSPEND MODE:
     * ---------------------------------
     *
     * By default, batch mode doesn't significantly change the interaction with
     * suspend mode. That is, sensors must continue to allow the SoC to
     * go into suspend mode and sensors must stay active to fill their
     * internal FIFO. In this mode, when the FIFO fills up, it shall wrap
     * around (basically behave like a circular buffer, overwriting events).
     * As soon as the SoC comes out of suspend mode, a batch is produced with
     * as much as the recent history as possible, and batch operation
     * resumes as usual.
     *
     * The behavior described above allows applications to record the recent
     * history of a set of sensor while keeping the SoC into suspend. It
     * also allows the hardware to not have to rely on a wake-up interrupt line.
     *
     * WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL BEHAVIOR IN SUSPEND MODE:
     * ----------------------------------------------
     *
     * There are cases, however, where an application cannot afford to lose
     * any events, even when the device goes into suspend mode.
     * For a given rate, if a sensor has the capability to store at least 10
     * seconds worth of events in its FIFO and is able to wake up the Soc, it
     * can implement an optional secondary mode: the WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL mode.
     *
     * The caller will set the SENSORS_BATCH_WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL flag to
     * activate this mode. If the sensor does not support this mode, batch()
     * will fail when the flag is set.
     *
     * When running with the WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL flag set, no events can be
     * lost. When the FIFO is getting full, the sensor must wake up the SoC from
     * suspend and return a batch before the FIFO fills-up.
     * Depending on the device, it might take a few miliseconds for the SoC to
     * entirely come out of suspend and start flushing the FIFO. Enough head
     * room must be allocated in the FIFO to allow the device to entirely come
     * out of suspend without the FIFO overflowing (no events shall be lost).
     *
     *   Implementing the WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL mode is optional.
     *   If the hardware cannot support this mode, or if the physical
     *   FIFO is so small that the device would never be allowed to go into
     *   suspend for at least 10 seconds, then this function MUST fail when
     *   the flag SENSORS_BATCH_WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL is set, regardless of
     *   the value of the timeout parameter.
     *
     *
     * DRY RUN:
     * --------
     *
     * If the flag SENSORS_BATCH_DRY_RUN is set, this function returns
     * without modifying the batch mode or the event period and has no side
     * effects, but returns errors as usual (as it would if this flag was
     * not set). This flag is used to check if batch mode is available for a
     * given configuration -- in particular for a given sensor at a given rate.
     *
     *
     * Return values:
     * --------------
     *
     * Because sensors must be independent, the return value must not depend
     * on the state of the system (whether another sensor is on or not),
     * nor on whether the flag SENSORS_BATCH_DRY_RUN is set (in other words,
     * if a batch call with SENSORS_BATCH_DRY_RUN is successful,
     * the same call without SENSORS_BATCH_DRY_RUN must succeed as well).
     *
     * When timeout is not 0:
     *   If successful, 0 is returned.
     *   If the specified sensor doesn't support batch mode, return -EINVAL.
     *   If the specified sensor's trigger-mode is one-shot, return -EINVAL.
     *   If WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL is specified and the specified sensor's internal
     *   FIFO is too small to store at least 10 seconds worth of data at the
     *   given rate, -EINVAL is returned. Note that as stated above, this has to
     *   be determined at compile time, and not based on the state of the
     *   system.
     *   If some other constraints above cannot be satisfied, return -EINVAL.
     *
     * Note: the timeout parameter, when > 0, has no impact on whether this
     *       function succeeds or fails.
     *
     * When timeout is 0:
     *   The caller will never set the wake_upon_fifo_full flag.
     *   The function must succeed, and batch mode must be deactivated.
     *
     * Independently of whether DRY_RUN is specified, When the call to batch()
     * fails, no state should be changed. In particular, a failed call to
     * batch() should not change the rate of the sensor. Example:
     *   setDelay(..., 10ms)
     *   batch(..., 20ms, ...) fails
     *   rate should stay 10ms.
     *
     *
     * IMPLEMENTATION NOTES:
     * ---------------------
     *
     * Batch mode, if supported, should happen at the hardware level,
     * typically using hardware FIFOs. In particular, it SHALL NOT be
     * implemented in the HAL, as this would be counter productive.
     * The goal here is to save significant amounts of power.
     *
     * In some implementations, events from several sensors can share the
     * same physical FIFO. In that case, all events in the FIFO can be sent and
     * processed by the HAL as soon as one batch must be reported.
     * For example, if the following sensors are activated:
     *  - accelerometer batched with timeout = 20s
     *  - gyroscope batched with timeout = 5s
     * then the accelerometer batches can be reported at the same time the
     * gyroscope batches are reported (every 5 seconds)
     *
     * Batch mode can be enabled or disabled at any time, in particular
     * while the specified sensor is already enabled, and this shall not
     * result in the loss of events.
     *
     * COMPARATIVE IMPORTANCE OF BATCHING FOR DIFFERENT SENSORS:
     * ---------------------------------------------------------
     *
     * On platforms on which hardware fifo size is limited, the system designers
     * might have to choose how much fifo to reserve for each sensor. To help
     * with this choice, here is a list of applications made possible when
     * batching is implemented on the different sensors.
     *
     * High value: Low power pedestrian dead reckoning
     *   Target batching time: 20 seconds to 1 minute
     *   Sensors to batch:
     *    - Step detector
     *    - Rotation vector or game rotation vector at 5Hz
     *   Gives us step and heading while letting the SoC go to Suspend.
     *
     * High value: Medium power activity/gesture recognition
     *   Target batching time: 3 seconds
     *   Sensors to batch: accelerometer between 20Hz and 50Hz
     *   Allows recognizing arbitrary activities and gestures without having
     *   to keep the SoC fully awake while the data is collected.
     *
     * Medium-high value: Interrupt load reduction
     *   Target batching time: < 1 second
     *   Sensors to batch: any high frequency sensor.
     *   If the gyroscope is set at 800Hz, even batching just 10 gyro events can
     *   reduce the number of interrupts from 800/second to 80/second.
     *
     * Medium value: Continuous low frequency data collection
     *   Target batching time: > 1 minute
     *   Sensors to batch: barometer, humidity sensor, other low frequency
     *     sensors.
     *   Allows creating monitoring applications at low power.
     *
     * Medium value: Continuous full-sensors collection
     *   Target batching time: > 1 minute
     *   Sensors to batch: all, at high frequencies
     *   Allows full collection of sensor data while leaving the SoC in
     *   suspend mode. Only to consider if fifo space is not an issue.
     *
     * In each of the cases above, if WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL is implemented, the
     * applications might decide to let the SoC go to suspend, allowing for even
     * more power savings.
