Userspace might want to implement a policy to temporarily disregard input
from certain devices, including not treating them as wakeup sources.
An example use case is a laptop, whose keyboard can be folded under the
screen to create tablet-like experience. The user then must hold the laptop
in such a way that it is difficult to avoid pressing the keyboard keys. It
is therefore desirable to temporarily disregard input from the keyboard,
until it is folded back. This obviously is a policy which should be kept
out of the kernel, but the kernel must provide suitable means to implement
such a policy.
This patch adds a sysfs interface for exactly this purpose.
To implement the said interface it adds an "inhibited" property to struct
input_dev, and effectively creates four states a device can be in: closed
uninhibited, closed inhibited, open uninhibited, open inhibited. It also
defers calling driver's ->open() and ->close() to until they are actually
needed, e.g. it makes no sense to prepare the underlying device for
generating events (->open()) if the device is inhibited.
uninhibit
closed <------------ closed
uninhibited ------------> inhibited
| ^ inhibit | ^
1st | | 1st | |
open | | open | |
| | | |
| | last | | last
| | close | | close
v | uninhibit v |
open <------------ open
uninhibited ------------> inhibited
The top inhibit/uninhibit transition happens when users == 0.
The bottom inhibit/uninhibit transition happens when users > 0.
The left open/close transition happens when !inhibited.
The right open/close transition happens when inhibited.
Due to all transitions being serialized with dev->mutex, it is impossible
to have "diagonal" transitions between closed uninhibited and open
inhibited or between open uninhibited and closed inhibited.
No new callbacks are added to drivers, because their open() and close()
serve exactly the purpose to tell the driver to start/stop providing
events to the input core. Consequently, open() and close() - if provided
- are called in both inhibit and uninhibit paths.

Separating "normal" and "polled" input devices was a mistake, as often we
want to allow the very same device work on both interrupt-driven and
polled mode, depending on the board on which the device is used.
This introduces new APIs:
- input_setup_polling
- input_set_poll_interval
- input_set_min_poll_interval
- input_set_max_poll_interval
These new APIs allow switching an input device into polled mode with sysfs
attributes matching drivers using input_polled_dev APIs that will be
eventually removed.

Currently, evdev stamps events with timestamps acquired in evdev_events()
However, this timestamping may not be accurate in terms of measuring
when the actual event happened.
Let's allow individual drivers specify timestamp in order to provide a more
accurate sense of time for the event. It is expected that drivers will set the
timestamp in their hard interrupt routine.

Normally, when input device supporting force feedback effects is being
destroyed, we try to "flush" currently playing effects, so that the
physical device does not continue vibrating (or executing other effects).
Unfortunately this does not work well for uinput as flushing of the effects
deadlocks with the destroy action:
- if device is being destroyed because the file descriptor is being closed,
then there is noone to even service FF requests;
- if device is being destroyed because userspace sent UI_DEV_DESTROY,
while theoretically it could be possible to service FF requests,
userspace is unlikely to do so (they'd need to make sure FF handling
happens on a separate thread) even if kernel solves the issue with FF
ioctls deadlocking with UI_DEV_DESTROY ioctl on udev->mutex.
To avoid lockups like the one below, let's install a custom input device
flush handler, and avoid trying to flush force feedback effects when we
destroying the device, and instead rely on uinput to shut off the device
properly.

struct hid_input *hidinput)

input_enable_softrepeat(hidinput->input, 400, 100);

There is a demand from driver's writers to use managed devices framework
for their drivers. Unfortunately up to this moment input devices did not
provide support for managed devices and that lead to mixing two styles
of resource management which usually introduced more bugs, such as
manually unregistering input device but relying in devres to free
interrupt handler which (unless device is properly shut off) can cause
ISR to reference already freed memory.
This change introduces devm_input_allocate_device() that will allocate
managed instance of input device so that driver writers who prefer
using devm_* framework do not have to mix 2 styles.

Extend the amount of character devices, such as eventX, mouseX and jsX,
from a hard limit of 32 per input handler to about 1024 shared across
all handlers.
To be compatible with legacy installations input handlers will start
creating char devices with minors in their legacy range, however once
legacy range is exhausted they will start allocating minors from the
dynamic range 256-1024.

On heavy event loads, such as a multitouch driver, the irqsoff latency
can be as high as 250 us. By accumulating a frame worth of data
before passing it on, the latency can be dramatically reduced. As a
side effect, the special EV_SYN handling can be removed, since the
frame is now atomic.
This patch adds the events() handler callback and uses it if it
exists. The latency is improved by 50 us even without the callback.

As noted by Arve and others, since wall time can jump backwards, it is
difficult to use for input because one cannot determine if one event
occurred before another or for how long a key was pressed.
However, the timestamp field is part of the kernel ABI, and cannot be
changed without possibly breaking existing users.
This patch adds a new IOCTL that allows a clockid to be set in the
evdev_client struct that will specify which time base to use for event
timestamps (ie: CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead of CLOCK_REALTIME).
For now we only support CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME, but
in the future we could support other clockids if appropriate.
The default remains CLOCK_REALTIME, so we don't change the ABI.

The problem here is that max_effects can wrap on 32 bits systems.
We'd allocate a smaller amount of data than sizeof(struct ff_device).
The call to kcalloc() on the next line would fail but it would write
the NULL return outside of the memory we just allocated causing data
corruption.
The call path is that uinput_setup_device() get ->ff_effects_max from
the user and sets the value in the ->private_data struct. From there
it is:
-> uinput_ioctl_handler()
-> uinput_create_device()
-> input_ff_create(dev, udev->ff_effects_max);
I've also changed ff_effects_max so it's an unsigned int instead of
a signed int as a cleanup.

"4-finger scroll" is a gesture supported by some applications and
operating systems.
"Resting thumb" is when a clickpad user rests a finger (e.g., a
thumb), in a "click zone" (typically the bottom of the touchpad) in
anticipation of click+move=select gestures.
Thus, "4-finger scroll + resting thumb" is a 5-finger gesture.
To allow userspace to detect this gesture, we send BTN_TOOL_QUINTTAP.

Many media center remotes have buttons intended for jumping straight to
one type of media browser or another -- commonly, images/photos/pictures,
audio/music, television, and movies. At present, remotes with an images
or photos or pictures button use any number of different keycodes which
sort of maybe fit. I've seen at least KEY_MEDIA, KEY_CAMERA,
KEY_GRAPHICSEDITOR and KEY_PRESENTATION. None of those seem quite right.
In my mind, KEY_MEDIA should be something more like a media center
application launcher (and I'd like to standardize on that for things
like the windows media center button on the mce remotes). KEY_CAMERA is
used in a lot of webcams, and typically means "take a picture now".
KEY_GRAPHICSEDITOR implies an editor, not a browser. KEY_PRESENTATION
might be the closest fit here, if you think "photo slide show", but it
may well be more intended for "run application in full-screen
presentation mode" or to launch something like magicpoint, I dunno.
And thus, I'd like to have a KEY_IMAGES, which matches the HID Usage AL
Image Browser, the meaning of which I think is crystal-clear. I believe
AL Audio Browser is already covered by KEY_AUDIO, and AL Movie Browser
by KEY_VIDEO, so I'm also adding appropriate comments next to those
keys.

Today, userspace sets up an input device based on the data it emits.
This is not always enough; a tablet and a touchscreen may emit exactly
the same data, for instance, but the former should be set up with a
pointer whereas the latter does not need to. Recently, a new type of
touchpad has emerged where the buttons are under the pad, which
changes logic without changing the emitted data. This patch introduces
a new ioctl, EVIOCGPROP, which enables user access to a set of device
properties useful during setup. The properties are given as a bitmap
in the same fashion as the event types, and are also made available
via sysfs, uevent and /proc/bus/input/devices.

ABS_MT_SLOT, and the handling of ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID only complicates
the driver. The situation can be improved upon by providing a common
pointer emulation code, thereby removing the need for the tracking id
in the driver. This patch moves all tracking event handling over to
the input core, simplifying both the existing drivers and the ones
currently in preparation.

The desire to keep old names for the EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE while
extending them to support large scancodes was a mistake. While we tried
to keep ABI intact (and we succeeded in doing that, programs compiled
on older kernels will work on newer ones) there is still a problem with
recompiling existing software with newer kernel headers.
New kernel headers will supply updated ioctl numbers and kernel will
expect that userspace will use struct input_keymap_entry to set and
retrieve keymap data. But since the names of ioctls are still the same
userspace will happily compile even if not adjusted to make use of the
new structure and will start miraculously fail in the field.
To avoid this issue let's revert EVIOCGKEYCODE/EVIOCSKEYCODE definitions
and add EVIOCGKEYCODE_V2/EVIOCSKEYCODE_V2 so that userspace can explicitly
select the style of ioctls it wants to employ.

Some laptops will have a "touchpad toggle" soft button, which expects
user-space to turn off the touchpad themselves, some other devices will
do this in hardware, but send key events telling us that the touchpad
has been turned off/on.
KEY_TOUCHPAD_ON/KEY_TOUCHPAD_OFF will be used by user-space to show a
popup with the status of the touchpad.
