# HID-BPF programs

This directory contains various fixes for devices. They add new features or
fix some behaviors without being entirely mandatory. It is better to load them
when you have such a device, but they should not be a requirement for a device
to be working during the boot stage.

The .bpf.c files provided here are not automatically compiled in the kernel.
They should be loaded in the kernel by `udev-hid-bpf`:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libevdev/udev-hid-bpf

The main reasons for these fixes to be here is to have a central place to
"upstream" them, but also this way we can test them thanks to the HID
selftests.

Once a .bpf.c file is accepted here, it is duplicated in `udev-hid-bpf`
in the `src/bpf/stable` directory, and distributions are encouraged to
only ship those bpf objects. So adding a file here should eventually
land in distributions when they update `udev-hid-bpf`

## Compilation

Just run `make`

## Installation

### Automated way

Just run `sudo udev-hid-bpf install ./my-awesome-fix.bpf.o`

### Manual way

- copy the `.bpf.o` you want in `/etc/udev-hid-bpf/`
- create a new udev rule to automatically load it

The following should do the trick (assuming udev-hid-bpf is available in
/usr/bin):

```
$> cp xppen-ArtistPro16Gen2.bpf.o /etc/udev-hid-bpf/
$> udev-hid-bpf inspect xppen-ArtistPro16Gen2.bpf.o
[
  {
    "name": "xppen-ArtistPro16Gen2.bpf.o",
    "devices": [
      {
        "bus": "0x0003",
        "group": "0x0001",
        "vid": "0x28BD",
        "pid": "0x095A"
      },
      {
        "bus": "0x0003",
        "group": "0x0001",
        "vid": "0x28BD",
        "pid": "0x095B"
      }
    ],
...
$> cat <EOF > /etc/udev/rules.d/99-load-hid-bpf-xppen-ArtistPro16Gen2.rules
ACTION!="add|remove", GOTO="hid_bpf_end"
SUBSYSTEM!="hid", GOTO="hid_bpf_end"

# xppen-ArtistPro16Gen2.bpf.o
ACTION=="add",ENV{MODALIAS}=="hid:b0003g0001v000028BDp0000095A", RUN{program}+="/usr/local/bin/udev-hid-bpf add $sys$devpath /etc/udev-hid-bpf/xppen-ArtistPro16Gen2.bpf.o"
ACTION=="remove",ENV{MODALIAS}=="hid:b0003g0001v000028BDp0000095A", RUN{program}+="/usr/local/bin/udev-hid-bpf remove $sys$devpath "
# xppen-ArtistPro16Gen2.bpf.o

ACTION=="remove",ENV{MODALIAS}=="hid:b0003g0001v000028BDp0000095B", RUN{program}+="/usr/local/bin/udev-hid-bpf remove $sys$devpath "

LABEL="hid_bpf_end"
EOF
$> udevadm control --reload
```

Then unplug and replug the device.

## Checks

### udev rule

You can check that the udev rule is correctly working by issuing

```
$> udevadm test /sys/bus/hid/devices/0003:28BD:095B*
...
run: '/usr/local/bin/udev-hid-bpf add /sys/devices/virtual/misc/uhid/0003:28BD:095B.0E57 /etc/udev-hid-bpf/xppen-ArtistPro16Gen2.bpf.o'
```

### program loaded

You can check that the program has been properly loaded with `bpftool`

```
$> bpftool prog
...
