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.

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.

* 'llseek' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/bkl:
vfs: make no_llseek the default
vfs: don't use BKL in default_llseek
llseek: automatically add .llseek fop
libfs: use generic_file_llseek for simple_attr
mac80211: disallow seeks in minstrel debug code
lirc: make chardev nonseekable
viotape: use noop_llseek
raw: use explicit llseek file operations
ibmasmfs: use generic_file_llseek
spufs: use llseek in all file operations
arm/omap: use generic_file_llseek in iommu_debug
lkdtm: use generic_file_llseek in debugfs
net/wireless: use generic_file_llseek in debugfs
drm: use noop_llseek
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.

When the client buffer is very small and wraps around a lot, it may
well be that a write increases the head such that head == tail. If
this happens between the point where a poll is triggered and the
actual data is being read, there will be no data to read. This is
confusing to applications, which might end up closing the file.
This patch solves the problem by making sure the client buffer is
never empty after writing to it.

Some devices, in particular MT devices, produce a lot of data. This
may lead to overflowing of the event queues in evdev driver, which
by default are fairly small. Let the drivers hint the average number
of events per packet generated by the device, and use that information
when computing the buffer size evdev should use for the device.

The HID layer has some scan codes of the form 0xffbc0000 for logitech

to switch to unsigned it instead. While at it keycode being signed does
not make much sense either.
