As we painfully noticed during the 3.12 merge-window our
EVIOCGABS/EVIOCSABS API is limited to ABS_MAX<=0x3f. We tried several
hacks to work around it but if we ever decide to increase ABS_MAX, the
EVIOCSABS ioctl ABI might overflow into the next byte causing horrible
misinterpretations in the kernel that we cannot catch.
Therefore, we decided to go with ABS_MAX2/CNT2 and introduce two new
ioctls to get/set abs-params. They no longer encode the ABS code in the
ioctl number and thus allow up to 4 billion ABS codes.
Unfortunately, the uinput API also hard-coded the ABS_CNT value in its
ABI. To avoid any hacks in uinput, we simply introduce a new
uinput_user_dev2 to replace the old one. The new API allows growing
ABS_CNT2 values without any API changes.

Hi
This is only compile-tested but I wanted to get a first revision out to let
people know what we're working on. Unfortunately, the ABS API has this horribly
low ABS_MAX limit and we couldn't figure out a way to increase it while keeping
ABI compatibility.
Any feedback and review is welcome. And if anyone spots ABI breakage by this
patch, please let me know. If nothing comes up I will patch libevdev to use the
new API, write some extensive test-cases and push this forward.
As a sidenote: I didn't modify joydev to use the new values. Fortunately, the
joydev API would allow switching to ABS_CNT2 without breaking API, but it would
limit the new ABS_CNT2 to 16k. This is quite high but nothing compared to the
2^32 that we can theoretically support now. If you think 16k ought to be enough
(probably?) I can adjust the joydev API, too.
All other kernel users were converted to the new values. Nothing left behind..
Thanks
David
