Since accessing Bluetooth prompts the user for permission on both Android and iOS, and we only need it for Steam Controller support, we'll leave it off by default. You can enable it by setting the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_STEAM to "1" before calling SDL_Init()
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/4952
* Avoid unnecessary SDL_PumpEvents calls in SDL_WaitEventTimeout
* Add a sentinel event to avoid infinite poll loops
* Move SDL_POLLSENTINEL to new internal event category
* Tweak documentation to indicate SDL_PumpEvents isn't always called
* Avoid shadowing event variable
* Ignore poll sentinel if more (user) events have been added after

Vista and later provide the SleepConditionVariableCS() function for this.
Since SDL_syscond_srw.c doesn't require SRW locks anymore, rename it to
SDL_syscond_cv.c which better reflects the implementation of condition
variables rather than the implementation of mutexes.
Fixes#4051.
See SDL bug #4703. This implements two new hints:
- SDL_APP_NAME
- SDL_SCREENSAVER_INHIBIT_ACTIVITY_NAME
The former is the successor to SDL_HINT_AUDIO_DEVICE_APP_NAME, and acts
as a generic "application name" used both by audio drivers and DBUS
screensaver inhibition. If SDL_AUDIO_DEVICE_APP_NAME is set, it will
still take priority over SDL_APP_NAME.
The second allows the "activity name" used by
org.freedesktop.ScreenSavver's Inhibit method, which are often shown in
the UI as the reason the screensaver (and/or suspend/other
power-managment features) are disabled.
To enter Bluetooth pairing mode hold B and Action (button with circle) buttons for 3 seconds.
It works via usual HIDAPI if special filter driver is not installed:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GZCT4CTFHXLHEB9T
With that driver installed it mimics Xbox One controller and works via XInput under Windows.
Under DInput this controller is not usable at all.
In some cases, it can be useful to have the KMSDRM backend even if it cannot
be used for rendering. An app may want to use SDL for input processing while
using another rendering API (such as an MMAL overlay on Raspberry Pi) or
using its own code to render to DRM overlays that SDL doesn't support.
This also moves the check for DRM master to an earlier point where we can fail
initialization of the backend, rather than allowing the backend to initialize
then failing the creation of a window later.
By default, we will minimize the window when we receive Alt+Tab with a
full-screen keyboard grabbed window to allow the user to escape the
full-screen application.
Some applications like remote desktop clients may want to handle Alt+Tab
themselves, so provide an opt-out via SDL_HINT_ALLOW_ALT_TAB_WHILE_GRABBED=0.

New hint to let the user opt out of having Switch controllers' Home button lit when opened.
This is more consistent with the Switch itself (which doesn't light the button normally) and may be preferred by users who may disconnect their controller without letting the application close it.
I think this warrants a Switch-specific hint because the default behaviour is unusual (inconsistent with using a Switch controller on a Switch itself or with some other programs on PC), and because of that it's distinct from other lights (the player number on Switch controllers and the player colour on PlayStation controllers).
Existing SDL applications may not know about the need to set a specific
hint to enable rumble on PS5 controllers, even though they may already
set the equivalent SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_PS4_RUMBLE hint for PS4
controller rumble support.
Rather than requiring those developers update their apps, let's use the
SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_PS4_RUMBLE value as an indication of the behavior
they are expected for all PlayStation controllers.
Is automatically used when the SRW SDL_mutex implementation is active.
Otherwise falls back to the generic implementation.
v2: - Rebase onto master fa3ea1051a4b
Keep Semaphore Kernel Object impl for Windows 7 and older - choose at runtime
v2: - Fix mixed int/LONG types
- Reorder definitions
- Add missing include
v3: - Use `GetModuleHandle()` to load the API Set
v2: - Add SRW definitions as suggested by Ozkan Sezer
Allows building against older platform headers.
- Rename "hidden" function parameter `mutex_` to `_mutex`
v3: - Use GetModuleHandle instead of LoadLibrary
- Fix typo in comment
Added a hint to control whether a separate thread should be used for joystick events.
This is off by default because dispatching messages in other threads appears to cause problems on some versions of Windows.
As the name suggests, the hint should only apply to SDL_THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL
The resulting priorities for my current distro result in these values:
| High | Time Critical
Hint |--------------|-----------------
0 | P=10 N=-10 | P=5 N=-15
1 | P=10 N=-10 | P=-21 N=0
When we request realtime priority from rtkit, we have a rttime limit. If we exceed
that limit, the kernel will send SIGKILL to the process to terminate it.
This isn't something that most high priority processes will want, only processes
that selectively opt into SCHED_RR/FIFO through SDL_HINT_THREAD_PRIORITY_POLICY
should be subject to this level of scrutiny.
This change:
* Switches non-apple posix OSs to use SCHED_OTHER instead of SCHED_RR
for SDL_THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGH/SDL_THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL.
* Fixes using a hardcoded RLIMIT_RTTIME, instead queries it from rtkit
* Only sets RLIMIT_RTTIME for MakeRealtime rtkit requests
* Adds a note regarding the possible SIGKILL with SDL_HINT_THREAD_PRIORITY_POLICY
* Introduces SDL_HINT_THREAD_FORCE_REALTIME_TIME_CRITICAL to allow apps to acquire realtime scheduling policies on Linux
Add hint SDL_HINT_ANDROID_BLOCK_ON_PAUSE_PAUSEAUDIO not to pause audio when
the app goes to background.
(It requires SDL_ANDROID_BLOCK_ON_PAUSE as "Non blocking")
1. Comment that SDL_SetThreadPriority will make any necessary system changes when applying priority.
2. Add a hint to override SDL's default behavior for scheduler policy.
3. Modify the pthreads SDL_SetThreadPriority so that instead of just using the current thread scheduler policy it will change it to a policy that should work best for the requested priority.
4. Add hint checks in SDL_SetThreadPriority so that #3 can be overridden if desired.
5. Modify the Linux SDL_SetThreadPriority so that in the case that policy, either by SDL defaults or from the hint, is a realtime policy it uses the realtime rtkit API.
6. Prior to calling rtkit on Linux make the necessary thread state changes that rtkit requires. Currently this is done every time as it isn't expected that SDL_SetThreadPriority will be called repeatedly for a thread.
