Input: evdev - fix variable initialisation

2012-02-24T08:52:43Z

Commit 509f87c5f564 (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).

Input: Add EVIOC mechanism for MT slots

2012-02-09T08:40:57Z

This patch adds the ability to extract MT slot data via a new ioctl, EVIOCGMTSLOTS. The function returns an array of slot values for the specified ABS_MT event type. Example of user space usage: struct { unsigned code; int values[64]; } req; req.code = ABS_MT_POSITION_X; if (ioctl(fd, EVIOCGMTSLOTS(sizeof(req)), &req) < 0) return -1; for (i = 0; i < 64; i++) printf("slot %d: %d\n", i, req.values[i]); Reviewed-by: Chase Douglas Signed-off-by: Henrik Rydberg

Input: add infrastructure for selecting clockid for event time stamps

2012-02-03T08:24:58Z

As noted by Arve and others, since wall time can jump backwards, it is difficult to use for input because one cannot determine if one event occurred before another or for how long a key was pressed. However, the timestamp field is part of the kernel ABI, and cannot be changed without possibly breaking existing users. This patch adds a new IOCTL that allows a clockid to be set in the evdev_client struct that will specify which time base to use for event timestamps (ie: CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead of CLOCK_REALTIME). For now we only support CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME, but in the future we could support other clockids if appropriate. The default remains CLOCK_REALTIME, so we don't change the ABI.

Input: evdev - do not block waiting for an event if fd is nonblock

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.

Input: evdev - only allow reading events if a full packet is present

2011-12-30T23:26:34Z

Without this, it was possible for the reader to get ahead of packet_head. If 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. Signed-off-by: Dima Zavin Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov
