Sometimes input handlers (as opposed to input devices) have a need to
inject (or re-inject) events back into input core. For example sysrq
filter may want to inject previously suppressed Alt-SysRq so that user
can take a screen print. In this case we do not want to pass such events
back to the same same handler that injected them to avoid loops.

KGDB, much like the resume process, needs to be able to mark all keys that
were pressed at the time we dropped into the debuggers as "released", since
it is unlikely that the keys stay pressed for the entire duration of the
debug session.
Also we need to make sure that input_reset_device() and input_dev_suspend()
only attempt to change state of currenlt opened devices since closed devices
may not be ready to accept IO requests.

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

Several devices use a high number of bits for scancodes. One important
group is the Remote Controllers. Some new protocols like RC-6 define a
scancode space of 64 bits.
The current EVIO[CS]GKEYCODE ioctls allow replace the scancode/keycode
translation tables, but it is limited to up to 32 bits for scancode.
Also, if userspace wants to clean the existing table, replacing it by
a new one, it needs to run a loop calling the ioctls over the entire
sparse scancode space.
To solve those problems, this patch extends the ioctls to allow drivers
handle scancodes up to 32 bytes long (the length could be extended in
the future should such need arise) and allow userspace to query and set
scancode to keycode mappings not only by scancode but also by index.
Compatibility code were also added to handle the old format of
EVIO[CS]GKEYCODE ioctls.
Folded fixes by:
- Dan Carpenter: locking fixes for the original implementation
- Jarod Wilson: fix crash when setting keycode and wiring up get/set
handlers in original implementation.
- Dmitry Torokhov: rework to consolidate old and new scancode handling,
provide options to act either by index or scancode.

With the rapidly increasing number of intelligent multi-contact and
multi-user devices, the need to send digested, filtered information
from a set of different sources within the same device is imminent.
This patch adds the concept of slots to the MT protocol. The slots
enumerate a set of identified sources, such that all MT events
can be passed independently and selectively per identified source.
The protocol works like this: Instead of sending a SYN_MT_REPORT
event immediately after the contact data, one sends an ABS_MT_SLOT
event immediately before the contact data. The input core will only
emit events for slots with modified MT events. It is assumed that
the same slot is used for the duration of an initiated contact.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Sometimes it is desirable to suppress certain events from reaching
input handlers and thus user space. One such example is Mac mouse
button emulation code which catches certain key presses and converts
them into button clicks as if they were emitted by a virtual mouse.
The original key press events should be completely suppressed,
otherwise user space will be confused, and while keyboard driver
does it on its own evdev is blissfully unaware of this arrangement.
This patch adds notion of 'filter' to the standard input handlers,
which may flag event as filtered thus preventing it from reaching
other input handlers. Filters don't (nor will they ever) have a
notion of priority relative to each other, input core will run all
of them first and any one of them may mark event as filtered.
This patch is inspired by similar patch by Matthew Garret but the
implementation and intended usage are quite different.

In order to utilize the full power of the new multi-touch devices, a
way to report detailed finger data to user space is needed. This patch
adds a multi-touch (MT) protocol which allows drivers to report details
for an arbitrary number of fingers.
The driver sends a SYN_MT_REPORT event via the input_mt_sync() function
when a complete finger has been reported.
In order to stay compatible with existing applications, the data
reported in a finger packet must not be recognized as single-touch
events. In addition, all finger data must bypass input filtering,
since subsequent events of the same type refer to different fingers.
A set of ABS_MT events with the desired properties are defined. The
events are divided into categories, to allow for partial implementation.
The minimum set consists of ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR, ABS_MT_POSITION_X and
ABS_MT_POSITION_Y, which allows for multiple fingers to be tracked.
If the device supports it, the ABS_MT_WIDTH_MAJOR may be used to provide
the size of the approaching finger. Anisotropy and direction may be
specified with ABS_MT_TOUCH_MINOR, ABS_MT_WIDTH_MINOR and
ABS_MT_ORIENTATION. Devices with more granular information may specify
general shapes as blobs, i.e., as a sequence of rectangular shapes
grouped together by a ABS_MT_BLOB_ID. Finally, the ABS_MT_TOOL_TYPE
may be used to specify whether the touching tool is a finger or a pen.

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

Whenever you press and then release a key, the CPU wakes up
three times:
* press
* release
* autorepeat timer exactly 250ms after press
The autorepeat timer has nothing to do, obviously, since you already
have released the key, so stop it on key release.
[dtor@mail.ru: This changes autorepeat behavior a bit since we now stop
autorepeat even if key that is being released is not the one that is
being auto-repeated, but I believe the new behavior is better.]
