• input: always check if accel/gyro is supported and return that info to core (libretro#19363) (e96196f)
• retro_spsc: zero-copy span API (write_begin/end, read_begin/end) Expose the contiguous region between the cursors that write/read already compute internally, so callers can produce into and consume from the ring without the intermediate copy. begin returns the contiguous span at the cursor (min of available and distance to the physical wrap); end publishes the actually-used byte count with the same release-store the copying calls use. No cursor moves at begin, so the region is stable against the other side until end. Wrapped data takes a second begin/end round; callers needing a larger guaranteed-contiguous write fall back to retro_spsc_write's split copy. Documented in the style of retro_spsc_peek, same thread-affinity rules. (246774b)
