* Input: add support for large scancodesMauro Carvalho Chehab2010-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of keeping SysRq support inside of legacy keyboard driver split it out into a separate input handler (filter). This stops most SysRq input events from leaking into evdev clients (some events, such as first SysRq scancode - not keycode - event, are still leaked into both legacy keyboard and evdev).

* Input: Mac button emulation - implement as an input filterDmitry Torokhov2010-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current implementation of Mac mouse button emulation plugs into legacy keyboard driver, converts certain keys into button events on a separate device, and suppresses the real events from reaching tty. This worked well enough until user space started using evdev which was completely unaware of this arrangement and kept sending original key presses to its users. Change the implementation to use newly added input filter framework so that original key presses are not transmitted to any handlers. As a bonus remove SYSCTL dependencies from the code and use Kconfig instead; also do not create the emulated mouse device until user activates emulation. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>

* Console keyboard events and accessibilitySamuel Thibault2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some blind people use a kernel engine called Speakup which uses hardware synthesis to speak what gets displayed on the screen. They use the PC keyboard to control this engine (start/stop, accelerate, ...) and also need to get keyboard feedback (to make sure to know what they are typing, the caps lock status, etc.) Up to now, the way it was done was very ugly. Below is a patch to add a notifier list for permitting a far better implementation, see ChangeLog above for details. You may wonder why this can't be done at the input layer. The problem is that what people want to monitor is the console keyboard, i.e. all input keyboards that got attached to the console, and with the currently active keymap (i.e. keysyms, not only keycodes). This adds a keyboard notifier that such modules can use to get the keyboard events and possibly eat them, at several stages: - keycodes: even before translation into keysym. - unbound keycodes: when no keysym is bound. - unicode: when the keycode would get translated into a unicode character. - keysym: when the keycode would get translated into a keysym. - post_keysym: after the keysym got interpreted, so as to see the result (caps lock, etc.) This also provides access to k_handler so as to permit simulation of keypresses.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Somewhere in the rewrite of the work queues my cleanup of SAK handling got broken. Maybe I didn't retest it properly or possibly the API was changing so fast I missed something. Regardless currently triggering a SAK now generates an ugly BUG_ON and kills the kernel. Thanks to Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@openvz.org> for spotting this. This modifies the use of SAK_work to initialize it when the data structure it resides in is initialized, and to simply call schedule_work when we need to generate a SAK. I update both data structures that have a SAK_work member for consistency. All of the old PREPARE_WORK calls that are now gone. If we call schedule_work again before it has processed it has generated the first SAK it will simply ignore the duplicate schedule_work request. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This does several things. - It moves looking up of the current foreground console into process context where we can safely take the semaphore that protects this operation. - It uses the new flavor of work queue processing. - This generates a factor of do_SAK, __do_SAK that runs immediately. - This calls __do_SAK with the console semaphore held ensuring nothing else happens to the console while we process the SAK operation. - With the console SAK processing moved into process context this patch removes the xchg operations that I used to attempt to attomically update struct pid, because of the strange locking used in the SAK processing.

* IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells2006-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is such a rare path it took me a while to figure out how to test this after soring out the locking. This patch does several things. - The variables used are moved into a structure and declared in vt_kern.h - A spinlock is added so we don't have SMP races updating the values. - Instead of raw pid_t value a struct_pid is used to guard against pid wrap around issues, if the daemon to spawn a new console dies.
