a108193cf9 Input: tnetv107x-keypad - make irqs signed for error handling
There is a bug in keypad_probe() where we do:

	kp->irq_press   = platform_get_irq_byname(pdev, "press");
	kp->irq_release = platform_get_irq_byname(pdev, "release");
	if (kp->irq_press < 0 || kp->irq_release < 0) {

The problem is that these irq variables are unsigned so the error
handling doesn't work.  I've changed them to signed values.

dfaaed08ec Input: mousedev - allow disabling even without CONFIG_EXPERT
Moust (if not all) modern software, including X, uses /dev/eventX rather than
the legacy /dev/mouseX devices. It therefore makes sense for general-purpose
(distro) kernels to use MOUSEDV=m (or even n), so let's drop the EXPERT=y
requirement.

bcd2623073 Input: allow deselecting serio drivers even without CONFIG_EXPERT
There is plenty of consumer hardware (e.g., mac books) that does not use AT
keyboards or PS/2 mice. It therefore makes sense for distro kernels to
build the related drivers as modules to avoid loading them on hardware that
does not need them. As such, these options should no longer be protected by
EXPERT.

Moreover, building these drivers as modules gets rid of the following ugly
error during boot:

[    2.337745] i8042: PNP: No PS/2 controller found. Probing ports directly.
[    3.439537] i8042: No controller found

92eb77d0ff Input: evdev - fall back to vmalloc for client event buffer
evdev always tries to allocate the event buffer for clients using
kzalloc rather than vmalloc, presumably to avoid mapping overhead where
possible.  However, drivers like bcm5974, which claims support for
reporting 16 fingers simultaneously, can have an extraordinarily large
buffer.  The resultant contiguous order-4 allocation attempt fails due
to fragmentation, and the device is thus unusable until reboot.

Try kzalloc if we can to avoid the mapping overhead, but if that fails,
fall back to vzalloc.

4eb1830b49 Input: wacom - send proper tablet state info when pen leaves proximity
The EMR sensor of Intuos4 and newer devices can send a packet with
0x20 in its second byte which contains only location information.
This packet is sent when the pen is too far away to reliably obtain
other information. Because only the location is updated userspace
will continue to see stale information for other values, most notably
TOUCH, PRESSURE, and DISTANCE.

This patch ensures userspace is not left with stale device state
information when the pen re-enters proximity (possibly leading to
the assumption the pen is still in contact even though it is
actually hovering).

0244ad004a Remove GENERIC_HARDIRQ config option
After the last architecture switched to generic hard irqs the config
options HAVE_GENERIC_HARDIRQS & GENERIC_HARDIRQS and the related code
for !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS can be removed.

c7dc65737c 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:
