The keyboard is connected via GPIOs to the processor, and scanned
using a column sample register. The hardware provides no debouncing
mechanism, so the state of the keys is read KBDSCAN_STABLE_COUNT
times before being reported to the input layer.
The status of the keys needs to be polled because there is no
interrupt hooked to the lines. A workqueue is used for this.

MUX error handling has a workaround for KBCs that get confused which
port data came from and signal MUXERR while data is actually good.
Unfortunately this workaround hurts with KBCs that signal timeouts
as 0xfc (spec says that only 0xfd, 0xfe and 0xff are alowed with
MUXERR) since it causes endless attempts to rescan i8042 serio
ports. The solution is to treat 0xfc as timeout (0xfe).

causing that the user space program cannot distinguish between them through

Change a bit the finger detection method used by the appletouch
driver to reduce touchpad "jumpiness":
- Adjust the method for detecting multiple fingers. Previously, it
recognized a new finger when a low sensor reading is followed by
a high sensor reading. The new method checks for 'humps' in the
sensor readings, so there doesn't necessarily have to be a low
sensor between two high sensors for two fingers to be triggered.
This allows detecting presence of two fingers on the touchpad
even when they touch each other.
- Change absolute coordinate calculation to us to get rid of "jumps".
Instead of using full value from a sensor once it passes the
threshold subtract theshold value from the reading.
- Allow adjusting threshold value via module parameter.
The patch doesn't seem to affect the Powerbooks but does greatly improve
the touchpad behaviour on the MacBooks.

Logitech USB Receiver (046d:c101) has two interfaces. The first one
contains fields from HID_UP_KEYBOARD and HID_UP_LED, and the other one
contains fields from HID_UP_CONSUMER and HID_UP_LOGIVENDOR. This device
is used with multiple wireless Logitech products, including UltraX Media
Remote.
All fields on both interfaces are either keys or leds. All fields in the
first interface are marked as Absolute, while the fields in the second
interface are marked as Relative. Marking the keys as relative causes
hidinput_hid_event() to send release events right after key press
events.
The device has EV_REP set, so the userspace expects the device to send
repeat events if a key is held down. However, as hidinput_hid_event()
sends release events immediately, repeat events are not sent at all. In
fact, the userspace has no way of knowing if a key is being held down.
Fix this by adding a quirk for 046d:c101 which changes relative keys to
absolute ones.

The previous commit (45c18b0bb5, aka "Fix
unlikely (but possible) race condition on task->user access") fixed a
potential oops due to __sigqueue_alloc() getting its "user" pointer out
of sync with switch_user(), and accessing a user pointer that had been
de-allocated on another CPU.
It still left another (much less serious) problem, where a concurrent
__sigqueue_alloc and swich_user could cause sigqueue_alloc to do signal
pending reference counting for a _different_ user than the one it then
actually ended up using. No oops, but we'd end up with the wrong signal
accounting.
Another case of Oleg's eagle-eyes picking up the problem.
This is trivially fixed by just making sure we load whichever "user"
structure we decide to use (it doesn't matter _which_ one we pick, we
just need to pick one) just once.

There's a possible race condition when doing a "switch_uid()" from one
user to another, which could race with another thread doing a signal
allocation and looking at the old thread ->user pointer as it is freed.
This explains an oops reported by Lukasz Trabinski:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/462241
We fix this by delaying the (reference-counted) freeing of the user
structure until the thread signal handler lock has been released, so
that we know that the signal allocation has either seen the new value or
has properly incremented the reference count of the old one.
Race identified by Oleg Nesterov.

oopses), according to a report by Falk Hueffner.
The fact that the code seems to rely on compiler access ordering through
the use of "volatile" is a pretty certain sign that the code has locking
problems, and we should fix those properly and then remove the whole
"volatile" entirely.
But in the meantime, the movement of "volatile" was unintentional, and
should be reverted.

The original check in ext2/ext3 when user.* xattrs were merged was more
restrictive than intended, and when the xattr permission checks were moved
into the VFS, read access to user.* attributes on sticky directores ended
up being denied in addition.

sys_move_pages() uses vmalloc() to allocate an array of structures that is
fills with information passed from user mode and then passes to
do_stat_pages() (in the case the node list is NULL). do_stat_pages()
depends on a marker in the node field of the structure to decide how large
the array is and this marker is correctly inserted into the last element of
the array. However, vmalloc() doesn't zero the memory it allocates and if
the user passes NULL for the node list, then the node fields are not filled
in (except for the end marker). If the memory the vmalloc() returned
happend to have a word with the marker value in it in just the right place,
do_pages_stat will fail to fill the status field of part of the array and
we will return (random) kernel data to user mode.

linux/unistd.h works as well since it includes syscall.h, however syscall.h
is more parsimonious. We were inconsistent in this, and this patch adds
syscall.h includes where necessary and removes linux/unistd.h includes
where they are not needed.
asm/unistd.h also includes the __NR_* constants, but these are not the

Fix a UML hang in which everything would just stop until some I/O happened
- a ping, someone whacking the keyboard - at which point everything would
start up again as though nothing had happened.
The cause was gcc reordering some code which absolutely needed to be
executed in the order in the source. When unblock_signals switches signals
from off to on, it needs to see if any interrupts had happened in the
critical section. The interrupt handlers check signals_enabled - if it is
zero, then the handler adds a bit to the "pending" bitmask and returns.
unblock_signals checks this mask to see if any signals need to be
delivered.
The crucial part is this:
signals_enabled = 1;
save_pending = pending;
if(save_pending == 0)
return;
pending = 0;
In order to avoid an interrupt arriving between reading pending and setting
it to zero, in which case, the record of the interrupt would be erased,
signals are enabled.
What happened was that gcc reordered this so that 'save_pending = pending'
came before 'signals_enabled = 1', creating a one-instruction window within
which an interrupt could arrive, set its bit in pending, and have it be
immediately erased.
When the I/O workload is purely disk-based, the loss of a block device
interrupt stops the entire I/O system because the next block request will
wait for the current one to finish. Thus the system hangs until something
else causes some I/O to arrive, such as a network packet or console input.
The fix to this particular problem is a memory barrier between enabling
signals and reading the pending signal mask. An xchg would also probably
work.
Looking over this code for similar problems led me to do a few more
things:
- make signals_enabled and pending volatile so that they don't get cached
in registers
- add an mb() to the return paths of block_signals and unblock_signals so
that the modification of signals_enabled doesn't get shuffled into the
caller in the event that these are inlined in the future.

return error;
if (!dir->i_op || !dir->i_op->rmdir)
