Input: add INPUT_PROP_POINTING_STICK property

2014-09-08T21:58:11Z

It is useful for userspace to know that there not dealing with a regular mouse but rather with a pointing stick (e.g. a trackpoint) so that userspace can e.g. automatically enable middle button scrollwheel emulation. It is impossible to tell the difference from the evdev info without resorting to putting a list of device / driver names in userspace, this is undesirable. Add a property which allows userspace to see if a device is a pointing stick, and set it on all the pointing stick drivers.

Input: Add INPUT_PROP_TOPBUTTONPAD device property

2014-04-20T05:44:13Z

On some newer laptops with a trackpoint the physical buttons for the trackpoint have been removed to allow for a larger touchpad. On these laptops the buttonpad has clearly marked areas on the top which are to be used as trackpad buttons. Users of the event device-node need to know about this, so that they can properly interpret BTN_LEFT events as being a left / right / middle click depending on where on the button pad the clicking finger is. This commits adds a INPUT_PROP_TOPBUTTONPAD device property which drivers for such buttonpads will use to signal to the user that this buttonpad not only has the normal bottom button area, but also a top button area.

Input: define KEY_WWAN for Wireless WAN

2013-12-16T10:20:40Z

Some devices with support for mobile networks may have buttons for enabling/disabling such connection. An example can be Linksys router 54G3G. We already have KEY_BLUETOOTH, KEY_WLAN and KEY_UWB so it makes sense to add KEY_WWAN as well. As we already have KEY_WIMAX, use it's value for KEY_WWAN and make it an alias.

Input: add SW_MUTE_DEVICE switch definition

2013-12-05T20:49:37Z

Some devices, such as new Intuos series tablets, have a hardware switch to turn touch data on/off. To report the state, SW_MUTE_DEVICE is added in include/uapi/linux/input.h.

Pull input update from Dmitry Torokhov: "The only change is David Hermann's new EVIOCREVOKE evdev ioctl that allows safely passing file descriptors to input devices to session processes and later being able to stop delivery of events through these fds so that inactive sessions will no longer receive user input that does not belong to them" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input: Input: evdev - add EVIOCREVOKE ioctl

Input: evdev - add EVIOCREVOKE ioctl

If we have multiple sessions on a system, we normally don't want background sessions to read input events. Otherwise, it could capture passwords and more entered by the user on the foreground session. This is a real world problem as the recent XMir development showed: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/27327.html We currently rely on sessions to release input devices when being deactivated. This relies on trust across sessions. But that's not given on usual systems. We therefore need a way to control which processes have access to input devices. With VTs the kernel simply routed them through the active /dev/ttyX. This is not possible with evdev devices, though. Moreover, we want to avoid routing input-devices through some dispatcher-daemon in userspace (which would add some latency). This patch introduces EVIOCREVOKE. If called on an evdev fd, this revokes device-access irrecoverably for that *single* open-file. Hence, once you call EVIOCREVOKE on any dup()ed fd, all fds for that open-file will be rather useless now (but still valid compared to close()!). This allows us to pass fds directly to session-processes from a trusted source. The source keeps a dup()ed fd and revokes access once the session-process is no longer active. Compared to the EVIOCMUTE proposal, we can avoid the CAP_SYS_ADMIN restriction now as there is no way to revive the fd again. Hence, a user is free to call EVIOCREVOKE themself to kill the fd. Additionally, this ioctl allows multi-layer access-control (again compared to EVIOCMUTE which was limited to one layer via CAP_SYS_ADMIN). A middle layer can simply request a new open-file from the layer above and pass it to the layer below. Now each layer can call EVIOCREVOKE on the fds to revoke access for all layers below, at the expense of one fd per layer. There's already ongoing experimental user-space work which demonstrates how it can be used: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-August/012897.html Signed-off-by: David Herrmann Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov
