The SDL_USE_LIBDBUS define is set inside SDL_debug.h, therefore the
circular dependency made it impossible for this feature to be enabled.
Instead, guard SDL_dbus.h based on the autoconf variable HAVE_DBUS_DBUS_H
Additionally, fix one of the rtkit comments. CAP_SYS_NICE isn't required
to achieve high priority. But there is some scheduler config that rtkit
needs the app to setup.

A long time ago, it was possible to play neverball on Linux using the accelerometer found in HP laptops.
The kernel exposes the accelerometer as a joystick (/dev/input/jsX) as well as an evdev device (/dev/input/eventX). I guess it worked fine when SDL was using the js interface, but then stopped working here: http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/fdaeea9e7567
Looking at current code which uses udev to discover joysticks, it looks for the udev tag ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK.
However udev's internal input_id logic specifically tags accelerometers as ID_INPUT_ACCELEROMETER and nothing else.
This looks like a good fit for SDL_HINT_ACCELEROMETER_AS_JOYSTICK.

The bugfix in https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/ca9417a52f18 caused SDL_SetRelativeMouseMode() to begin failing on Vivante (Steam Link). Even though Vivante doesn't have a SetRelativeMouseMode() or WarpMouse() function, it's in relative mode already (because it uses evdev) so the function was actually working as intended.
I think providing a no-op SetRelativeMouseMode() function for Vivante is a reasonable fix. Since it's already getting relative events through evdev, it really is a no-op to "enter relative mode".
In fact, this is probably the right thing to do for all backends that use evdev (vivante, raspberry, and kmsdrm). Raspberry and kmsdrm both have WarpMouse() implementations so SDL_SetRelativeMouseMode() isn't failing there, but it still seems to make sense not to have to do the fake warping if they're evdev-based anyway.

There is an issue on the latest commit of the mercurial repo when SDL_THREADS_DISABLED is set:

The attached patch adds support for single-touch evdev devices.
These devices report ABS_X, ABS_Y and BTN_TOUCH events. This patch sets them up as MT devices with a single slot and handles the appropriate messages.

The file src/core/linux/SDL_evdev.c uses the Linux specific types __u32 and __s32. This breaks things on FreeBSD when building with evdev.
Only two chars are used but the full prototype is:
int tioclinux(struct tty_struct *tty, unsigned long arg)
==5010== Syscall param ioctl(TIOCLINUX) points to uninitialised byte(s)
==5010== at 0x53E73C7: ioctl (syscall-template.S:78)

This also solves reports of this log message:
"INFO: The key you just pressed is not recognized by SDL. To help get this
fixed, please report this to the SDL forums/mailing list
<https://discourse.libsdl.org/> EVDEV KeyCode 330"
(EVDEV KeyCode 330 is BTN_TOUCH.)
Fixes Bugzilla #4147.
Touch device types include SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_DIRECT (a touch screen with window-relative coordinates for touches), SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_INDIRECT_ABSOLUTE (a trackpad-style device with absolute device coordinates), and SDL_TOUCH_DEVICE_INDIRECT_RELATIVE (a trackpad-style device with screen cursor-relative coordinates).
Phone screens are an example of a direct device type. Mac trackpads are the indirect-absolute touch device type. The Apple TV remote is an indirect-relative touch device type.

When using SLD2 on a Linux console with the KMS/DRM video backend and Linux evdev keyboard support, the caps lock, scroll lock, and num lock leds do not work.
The attached patch adds ioctls for setting the LED state in SDL_evdev_kbd.c
Include guards in most changed files were missing, I added them keeping
the same style as other SDL files. In some cases I moved the include
guards around to be the first thing the header has to take advantage of
any possible improvements compiler may have for inclusion guards.
src/core/linux/SDL_evdev.c:104:1: warning: "_THIS" redefined

"In release 2.0.6, when Linux evdev keyboard support has been moved to a
separate source file, a feature was added to disable normal keyboard event
processing to prevent "spilling" keystrokes to background virtual console.
This feature has one unpleasant side effect: if application fails to call
`SDL_Exit` before termination or crashes with fatal signal, console is left
in unusable state with keyboard not working and no possibility to switch
virtual console. If user has a chance, he can login remotely and restore
keyboard with `kbd_mode`, otherwise the only option is to reboot the machine.
This patch fixes that problem by intercepting fatal signals (with `sigaction`)
and process termination (with `atexit`), to restore keyboard state, if it
wasn't properly restored with `SDL_Exit`.
The function registered with `atexit` also restores original signal handlers,
to prevent leaving invalid handlers after SDL library is unloaded, if it was
loaded dynamically with `dlopen`.
No signal handlers or `atexit` function are installed if SDL boolean hint
`SDL_HINT_NO_SIGNAL_HANDLERS` is `SDL_TRUE`.
Additionally, if environment variable `SDL_INPUT_LINUX_KEEP_KBD` exists,
keyboard initialization function completely skips disabling keyboard. This
can be useful for debugging."
Fixes Bugzilla #4193.
Parse out a copy of the varargs ourselves to get to the reply portion, since
the original passed to D-Bus might modify or not modify the caller's copy,
depending on system ABI.
This was reproducible by running an SDL app on the console from an ssh login. In this case the terminal wasn't owned by the user running the app, so we were using the default keymap, which didn't have state transitions defined for ctrl and alt, so once we entered that state keypresses would no longer transition out of that state, nor would they generate text.
As a workaround, we'll just reset to the default shift state if that happens, which means we'll get text for keys pressed while ctrl is held down, but I don't think that's a big problem.
Note that in this case we also can't mute the keyboard, so the keypresses go to the console, which probably isn't what you want...

After updating from 2.0.5 to 2.0.7, Ibus not work anymore(fcitx still works).
Compare with 2.0.5, there are two issues in SDL_ibus.c.
1, SetupConnection always return SDL_FALSE in 2.0.7.
2, 'SetCapabilities' method should be called on 'ibus_conn'.
Patch attached.

dbus_shutdown() is a debug feature which closes all global resources in the dbus library. Calling this should be done by the app, not a library, because if there are multiple users of dbus in the process then SDL could shut it down even though another part is using it.
For example, i had an issue with this in mGBA, which uses both Qt and SDL, both using libdbus. I had a session bus, but no system bus (this was in a flatpak sandbox), and when SDL_DBus_Init() failed to init the system bus it called dbus_shudown() and continued on. This caused issues for Qt when running due to its session bus connections having disappeared beneath it.
SDL now builds with gcc 7.2 with the following command line options:
-Wall -pedantic-errors -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wno-overlength-strings --std=c99

As of 2.0.6, all of my games are failing with the following error:
process 31778: arguments to dbus_type_is_basic() were incorrect, assertion "dbus_type_is_valid (typecode) || typecode == DBUS_TYPE_INVALID" failed in file dbus-signature.c line 322.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

I have occasional crashes here caused by the X11 backend of SDL2. It seems to
be caused by the X11_Pending function trying to add a high number (> 1024)
file descriptor to a fd_set before doing a select on it to avoid busy waiting
on X11 events. This causes a buffer overflow because the file descriptor is
larger (or equal) than the limit FD_SETSIZE.
Attached is a possible workaround patch.
Please also keep in mind that fd_set are also used in following files which
may have similar problems.

I personally experienced this problem while hacking on the python bindings
package for SDL2 [1] (while doing make runtest). But it easier to reproduce in
a smaller, synthetic testcase.
