21d8dd0daf Input: use guard notation in input core
Switch input core to use "guard" notation when acquiring spinlocks and
mutexes to simplify the code and ensure that locks are automatically
released when control leaves critical section.

57a063632d Input: introduce notion of passive observers for input handlers
Sometimes it is useful to observe (and maybe modify) data coming from
an input device, but only do that if there are other users of such input
device. An example is touchpad switching functionality on Lenovo IdeaPad
Z570 where it is desirable to suppress events coming from the touchpad
if user toggles touchpad on/off button (on this laptop the firmware does
not stop the device).

Introduce notion of passive observers for input handlers to solve this
issue. An input handler marked as passive observer behaves exactly like
any other input handler or filter, but with one exception: it does not
open/start underlying input device when attaching to it.

071b24b54d Input: fix regression when re-registering input handlers
Commit d469647baf ("Input: simplify event handling logic") introduced
code that would set handler->events() method to either
input_handler_events_filter() or input_handler_events_default() or
input_handler_events_null(), depending on the kind of input handler
(a filter or a regular one) we are dealing with. Unfortunately this
breaks cases when we try to re-register the same filter (as is the case
with sysrq handler): after initial registration the handler will have 2
event handling methods defined, and will run afoul of the check in
input_handler_check_methods():

	input: input_handler_check_methods: only one event processing method can be defined (sysrq)
	sysrq: Failed to register input handler, error -22

Fix this by adding handle_events() method to input_handle structure and
setting it up when registering a new input handle according to event
handling methods defined in associated input_handler structure, thus
avoiding modifying the input_handler structure.

0774d19038 Input: try trimming too long modalias strings
If an input device declares too many capability bits then modalias
string for such device may become too long and not fit into uevent
buffer, resulting in failure of sending said uevent. This, in turn,
may prevent userspace from recognizing existence of such devices.

This is typically not a concern for real hardware devices as they have
limited number of keys, but happen with synthetic devices such as
ones created by xen-kbdfront driver, which creates devices as being
capable of delivering all possible keys, since it doesn't know what
keys the backend may produce.

To deal with such devices input core will attempt to trim key data,
in the hope that the rest of modalias string will fit in the given
buffer. When trimming key data it will indicate that it is not
complete by placing "+," sign, resulting in conversions like this:

old: k71,72,73,74,78,7A,7B,7C,7D,8E,9E,A4,AD,E0,E1,E4,F8,174,
new: k71,72,73,74,78,7A,7B,7C,+,

This should allow existing udev rules continue to work with existing
devices, and will also allow writing more complex rules that would
recognize trimmed modalias and check input device characteristics by
other means (for example by parsing KEY= data in uevent or parsing
input device sysfs attributes).

Note that the driver core may try adding more uevent environment
variables once input core is done adding its own, so when forming
modalias we can not use the entire available buffer, so we reduce
it by somewhat an arbitrary amount (96 bytes).

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.

  The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
  container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
  passed into it.

  The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass
  in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
  specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
  "const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
  series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be
  used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem
  from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
  kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
  the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
  either.

  The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
  developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject,
  objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver
  core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of
  paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so
  marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.

  So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
  to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object
  rules.

  All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml
  with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version
  we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
  subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.

  Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:

   - kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better

   - vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates

   - sysfs and debugfs documentation updates

   - device property updates

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with
  no problems"
