Commit 509f87c5f5 (evdev - do not block waiting for an event if
fd
is nonblock) created a code path were it was possible to use retval
uninitialized.
This could lead to the xorg evdev input driver getting corrupt data
and refusing to work with log messages like
AUO-Pixcir touchscreen: Read error: Success
sg060_keys: Read error: Success
AUO-Pixcir touchscreen: Read error: Success
sg060_keys: Read error: Success
(for drivers auo-pixcir-ts and gpio-keys).

Add an ioctl, EVIOCSSUSPENDBLOCK, to enable a wakelock that will block
suspend while the event queue is not empty. This allows userspace code to
process input events while the device appears to be asleep.
The current code holds the wakelock for up 5 seconds for every input
device and client. This can prevent suspend if sensor with a high data
rate is active, even when that sensor is not capable of waking the
device once it is suspended.

If there is no SYN_REPORT event in the buffer the buffer data is invisible
to user-space. The wakelock should not be held in this case.

If there is a full packet in the buffer, and we overflow that buffer
right after checking for that condition, it would have been possible
for us to block indefinitely (rather, until the next full packet) even if
the file was marked as O_NONBLOCK.

Without this, it was possible for the reader to get ahead of packet_head.
If the the input device generated a partial packet *right* after the
reader got ahead, then we can get into a situation where the device is
marked readable but read always returns 0 until the next packet is
finished (i.e a SYN is generated by the input driver).
This situation can also happen if we overflow the buffer while a reader
is trying to read an event out.

We should only wake waiters on the event device when we actually post
an EV_SYN/SYN_REPORT to the queue. Otherwise we end up making waiting
threads runnable only to go right back to sleep because the device
still isn't readable.

Since wall time can jump backwards, it cannot be used to determine if one
event occured before another or for how long a key was pressed.

There is no need to call synchronize_rcu() after a list insertion,
or a NULL->ptr assignment.
However, the reverse operations do need this call.

This patch modifies evdev so that it only becomes readable when
the buffer contains an EV_SYN/SYN_REPORT event.
On SMP systems, it is possible for an evdev client blocked on poll()
to wake up and read events from the evdev ring buffer at the same
rate as they are enqueued. This can result in high CPU usage,
particularly for MT devices, because the client ends up reading
events one at a time instead of reading complete packets.
We eliminate this problem by making the device readable only when
the buffer contains at least one complete packet. This causes
clients to block until the entire packet is available.

Add a new EV_SYN code, SYN_DROPPED, to inform the client when input
events have been dropped from the evdev input buffer due to a
buffer overrun. The client should use this event as a hint to
reset its state or ignore all following events until the next
packet begins.

As was recently brought up on the busybox list
(http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2011-January/074565.html),
evdev_write doesn't properly check the count argument, which will
lead to a return value > count on partial writes if the remaining bytes
are accessible - causing userspace confusion.
Fix it by only handling each full input_event structure and return -EINVAL
if less than 1 struct was written, similar to how it is done in evdev_read.

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.
