Input: serio - define serio_pause_rx guard to pause and resume serio ports

2024-10-04T07:58:14+00:00

serio_pause_rx() and serio_continue_rx() are usually used together to temporarily stop receiving interrupts/data for a given serio port. Define "serio_pause_rx" guard for this so that the port is always resumed once critical section is over. Example: scoped_guard(serio_pause_rx, elo->serio) { elo->expected_packet = toupper(packet[0]); init_completion(&elo->cmd_done); } Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240905041732.2034348-2-dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *

2024-07-03T13:16:54+00:00

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be changed, so change the function callback to be a const *. This is one step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct device_driver in read-only memory. Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified to handle this properly. This does entail switching some container_of() calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *. For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.) That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their struct device * in read-only-memory. Cc: Rafael J.

Input: serio - make serio_bus const

2024-03-03T23:06:58+00:00

Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type, move the serio_bus variable to be a constant structure as well, placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.

Revert "Input: serio - make write method mandatory"

2021-07-21T04:48:35+00:00

This reverts commit 81c7c0a350bfe9306ad9fb10356534ede8f4ab31. The idea to make write method mandatory was flawed as several client drivers (such as atkbd) check for presence of write() method to adjust behavior of the driver.

Given that all serio drivers except one implement write() method let's make it mandatory to avoid testing for its presence whenever we attempt to use it. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/YFgUxG/TljMuVeQ3@google.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: serio - add fast reconnect option

2017-03-25T17:37:26+00:00

Devices connected to serio bus are quite slow, and to improve apparent speed of resume process, serio core resumes (reconnects) its devices asynchronously, by posting port reconnect requests to a workqueue. Unfortunately this means that if there is a dependent device of a given serio port (for example SMBus part of touchpad connected via both PS/2 and SMBus), we do not have a good way of ensuring resume order. This change allows drivers to define "fast reconnect" handlers that would be called in-line during system resume. Drivers need to ensure that these handlers are truly "fast".

Input: i8042 - break load dependency between atkbd/psmouse and i8042

2016-07-27T21:20:09+00:00

As explained in 1407814240-4275-1-git-send-email-decui@microsoft.com we have a hard load dependency between i8042 and atkbd which prevents keyboard from working on Gen2 Hyper-V VMs. > hyperv_keyboard invokes serio_interrupt(), which needs a valid serio > driver like atkbd.c. atkbd.c depends on libps2.c because it invokes > ps2_command(). libps2.c depends on i8042.c because it invokes > i8042_check_port_owner().

Input: i8042 - add unmask_kbd_data option

2015-07-16T17:30:55+00:00

A big problem with the current i8042 debugging option is that it outputs data going to and from the keyboard by default. As a result, many dmesg logs uploaded by users will unintentionally contain sensitive information such as their password, as such it's probably a good idea not to output data coming from the keyboard unless specifically enabled by the user.

Input: serio - add firmware_id sysfs attribute

2014-04-20T05:42:19+00:00

serio devices exposed via platform firmware interfaces such as ACPI may provide additional identifying information of use to userspace. We don't associate the serio devices with the firmware device (we don't set it as parent), so there's no way for userspace to make use of this information. We cannot change the parent for serio devices instantiated though a firmware interface as that would break suspend / resume ordering. Therefore this patch adds a new firmware_id sysfs attribute so that userspace can get a string from there with any additional identifying information the firmware interface may provide.
