* Input: add driver for keyboard on AAED-2000 development board (ARM)Nicolas Bellido2006-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The keyboard is connected via GPIOs to the processor, and scanned using a column sample register. The hardware provides no debouncing mechanism, so the state of the keys is read KBDSCAN_STABLE_COUNT times before being reported to the input layer. The status of the keys needs to be polled because there is no interrupt hooked to the lines. A workqueue is used for this.

* Input: serio - make serio_register_driver() return errorsDmitry Torokhov2006-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | Perform actual driver registration right in serio_register_driver() instead of offloading it to kseriod and return proper error code to callers if driver registration fails. Note that driver <-> port matching is still done by kseriod to speed up boot process since probing for PS/2 mice and keyboards is pretty slow. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>

* Input: i8042 - fix shutdown issue on some boxes with active MUXesDmitry Torokhov2006-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | MUX error handling has a workaround for KBCs that get confused which port data came from and signal MUXERR while data is actually good. Unfortunately this workaround hurts with KBCs that signal timeouts as 0xfc (spec says that only 0xfd, 0xfe and 0xff are alowed with MUXERR) since it causes endless attempts to rescan i8042 serio ports. The solution is to treat 0xfc as timeout (0xfe). Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
* Input: mousedev - remap BTN_FORWARD from BTN_LEFT to BTN_MIDDLEMarton Nemeth2006-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | In mousedev the BTN_LEFT and BTN_FORWARD were mapped to mouse button 0, causing that the user space program cannot distinguish between them through /dev/input/mice. All mice have BTN_LEFT, but not all have BTN_MIDDLE (e.g. Clevo D410J laptop). Mapping BTN_FORWARD to mouse button 2 makes the BTN_FORWARD button useful on this laptop.

| | | | | | | | | | Mouse button emulation for the one-button mouse Apple machines isn't restricted to older ADB based machines. There are PPC Powerbooks where the keyboard and the mouse are no longer on the ADB bus but regular USB, and users still like (and need) to be able to emulate the middle mouse button with F11 and the right mouse button with F12.

* Input: appletouch - verious updates for MacBooksJason Parekh2006-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change a bit the finger detection method used by the appletouch driver to reduce touchpad "jumpiness": - Adjust the method for detecting multiple fingers. Previously, it recognized a new finger when a low sensor reading is followed by a high sensor reading. The new method checks for 'humps' in the sensor readings, so there doesn't necessarily have to be a low sensor between two high sensors for two fingers to be triggered. This allows detecting presence of two fingers on the touchpad even when they touch each other. - Change absolute coordinate calculation to us to get rid of "jumps". Instead of using full value from a sensor once it passes the threshold subtract theshold value from the reading. - Allow adjusting threshold value via module parameter. The patch doesn't seem to affect the Powerbooks but does greatly improve the touchpad behaviour on the MacBooks.

* Input: HID - add a quirk for the Logitech USB ReceiverAnssi Hannula2006-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Logitech USB Receiver (046d:c101) has two interfaces. The first one contains fields from HID_UP_KEYBOARD and HID_UP_LED, and the other one contains fields from HID_UP_CONSUMER and HID_UP_LOGIVENDOR. This device is used with multiple wireless Logitech products, including UltraX Media Remote. All fields on both interfaces are either keys or leds. All fields in the first interface are marked as Absolute, while the fields in the second interface are marked as Relative. Marking the keys as relative causes hidinput_hid_event() to send release events right after key press events. The device has EV_REP set, so the userspace expects the device to send repeat events if a key is held down. However, as hidinput_hid_event() sends release events immediately, repeat events are not sent at all. In fact, the userspace has no way of knowing if a key is being held down. Fix this by adding a quirk for 046d:c101 which changes relative keys to absolute ones. Signed-off-by: Anssi Hannula <anssi.hannula@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>

| * Make sure "user->sigpending" count is in syncLinus Torvalds2006-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous commit (45c18b0bb579b5c1b89f8c99f1b6ffa4c586ba08, aka "Fix unlikely (but possible) race condition on task->user access") fixed a potential oops due to __sigqueue_alloc() getting its "user" pointer out of sync with switch_user(), and accessing a user pointer that had been de-allocated on another CPU. It still left another (much less serious) problem, where a concurrent __sigqueue_alloc and swich_user could cause sigqueue_alloc to do signal pending reference counting for a _different_ user than the one it then actually ended up using. No oops, but we'd end up with the wrong signal accounting. Another case of Oleg's eagle-eyes picking up the problem. This is trivially fixed by just making sure we load whichever "user" structure we decide to use (it doesn't matter _which_ one we pick, we just need to pick one) just once.

| * Fix unlikely (but possible) race condition on task->user accessLinus Torvalds2006-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a possible race condition when doing a "switch_uid()" from one user to another, which could race with another thread doing a signal allocation and looking at the old thread ->user pointer as it is freed. This explains an oops reported by Lukasz Trabinski: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/462241 We fix this by delaying the (reference-counted) freeing of the user structure until the thread signal handler lock has been released, so that we know that the signal allocation has either seen the new value or has properly incremented the reference count of the old one.

| * Revert unintentional "volatile" changes in ipc/msg.cLinus Torvalds2006-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 5a06a363ef48444186f18095ae1b932dddbbfa89 ("[PATCH] ipc/msg.c: clean up coding style") breaks fakeroot on Alpha (variously hangs or oopses), according to a report by Falk Hueffner. The fact that the code seems to rely on compiler access ordering through the use of "volatile" is a pretty certain sign that the code has locking problems, and we should fix those properly and then remove the whole "volatile" entirely. But in the meantime, the movement of "volatile" was unintentional, and should be reverted.

However, there does seem to be a Kconfig reverse dependency bug in that MII gets wrongly enabled in some cases (like USBNET=y and USBNET_MII=n); I think I've noticed that same problem in other situations too. So the result can mean kernels being bloated by stuff that's needlessly enabled ... better than wrongly being disabled, but contributing to bloat.

However, vmalloc() doesn't zero the memory it allocates and if the user passes NULL for the node list, then the node fields are not filled in (except for the end marker). If the memory the vmalloc() returned happend to have a word with the marker value in it in just the right place, do_pages_stat will fail to fill the status field of part of the array and we will return (random) kernel data to user mode.
