* struct input_absinfo - used by EVIOCGABS/EVIOCSABS ioctls
* @value: latest reported value for the axis.
* @minimum: specifies minimum value for the axis.
* @maximum: specifies maximum value for the axis.
* @fuzz: specifies fuzz value that is used to filter noise from
* the event stream.
* @flat: values that are within this value will be discarded by
* joydev interface and reported as 0 instead.
* @resolution: specifies resolution for the values reported for
* the axis.
*
* Note that input core does not clamp reported values to the
* [minimum, maximum] limits, such task is left to userspace.
*
* The default resolution for main axes (ABS_X, ABS_Y, ABS_Z,
* ABS_MT_POSITION_X, ABS_MT_POSITION_Y) is reported in units
* per millimeter (units/mm), resolution for rotational axes
* (ABS_RX, ABS_RY, ABS_RZ) is reported in units per radian.
* The resolution for the size axes (ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR,
* ABS_MT_TOUCH_MINOR, ABS_MT_WIDTH_MAJOR, ABS_MT_WIDTH_MINOR)
* is reported in units per millimeter (units/mm).
* When INPUT_PROP_ACCELEROMETER is set the resolution changes.
* The main axes (ABS_X, ABS_Y, ABS_Z) are then reported in
* units per g (units/g) and in units per degree per second
* (units/deg/s) for rotational axes (ABS_RX, ABS_RY, ABS_RZ).

/**
* struct input_keymap_entry - used by EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE ioctls
* @scancode: scancode represented in machine-endian form.
* @len: length of the scancode that resides in @scancode buffer.
* @index: index in the keymap, may be used instead of scancode
* @flags: allows to specify how kernel should handle the request. For
* example, setting INPUT_KEYMAP_BY_INDEX flag indicates that kernel
* should perform lookup in keymap by @index instead of @scancode
* @keycode: key code assigned to this scancode
*
* The structure is used to retrieve and modify keymap data. Users have
* option of performing lookup either by @scancode itself or by @index
* in keymap entry. EVIOCGKEYCODE will also return scancode or index
* (depending on which element was used to perform lookup).

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
