Input: evdev - call input_flush_device() on release(), not flush()

2020-06-03T06:19:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 09264098ff153f60866039d60b31d39b66f55a31 ]

input_flush_device() should only be called once the struct file is being
released and no open descriptors remain, but evdev_flush() was calling
it whenever a file descriptor was closed.

This caused uploaded force-feedback effects to be erased when a process
did a dup()/close() on the event FD, called system(), etc.

Call input_flush_device() from evdev_release() instead.

Input: input_event - fix struct padding on sparc64

2020-01-14T19:07:01+00:00

commit f729a1b0f8df7091cea3729fc0e414f5326e1163 upstream.

Going through all uses of timeval, I noticed that we screwed up
input_event in the previous attempts to fix it:

The time fields now match between kernel and user space, but all following
fields are in the wrong place.

Add the required padding that is implied by the glibc timeval definition
to fix the layout, and use a struct initializer to avoid leaking kernel
stack data.

Input: evdev - add a schedule point in evdev_write()

2018-10-05T18:42:31+00:00

Large writes to evdev interface may cause rcu stalls. Let's add
cond_resched() to the loop to avoid this.

Input: evdev - switch to bitmap API

2018-08-02T00:59:25+00:00

Switch to bitmap API, i.e. bitmap_alloc(), bitmap_zalloc(), to show
clearly what we are allocating. Besides that it returns pointer of
bitmap type instead of opaque void *.

While here, replace memcpy() with bitmap_copy() for sake of consistency.

vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement

2018-02-11T22:34:03+00:00

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Input: extend usable life of event timestamps to 2106 on 32 bit systems

2018-01-10T00:40:30+00:00

The input events use struct timeval to store event time, unfortunately
this structure is not y2038 safe and is being replaced in kernel with
y2038 safe structures.

Because of ABI concerns we can not change the size or the layout of
structure input_event, so we opt to re-interpreting the 'seconds' part
of timestamp as an unsigned value, effectively doubling the range of
values, to year 2106.

Newer glibc that has support for 32 bit applications to use 64 bit
time_t supplies __USE_TIME_BITS64 define [1], that we can use to present
the userspace with updated input_event layout. The updated layout will
cause the compile time breakage, alerting applications and distributions
maintainers to the issue. Existing 32 binaries will continue working
without any changes until 2038.

Ultimately userspace applications should switch to using monotonic or
boot time clocks, as realtime clock is not very well suited for input
event timestamps as it can go backwards (see a80b83b7b8 "Input: evdev -
add CLOCK_BOOTTIME support" by by John Stultz). With monotonic clock the
practical range of reported times will always fit into the pair of 32
bit values, as we do not expect any system to stay up for a hundred
years without a single reboot.

Replace the open coded registration of the cdev and dev with the
new device_add_cdev() helper in evdev, joydev and mousedev. The helper
replaces a common pattern by taking the proper reference against the
parent device and adding both the cdev and the device.

clk_type and clkid stores different predefined clock identification
values so they cannot be compared for checking duplicate clock change
request. Therefore, lets fix it to avoid unexpected results.
