Input: Add "inhibited" property

Userspace might want to implement a policy to temporarily disregard input
from certain devices, including not treating them as wakeup sources.

An example use case is a laptop, whose keyboard can be folded under the
screen to create tablet-like experience. The user then must hold the laptop
in such a way that it is difficult to avoid pressing the keyboard keys. It
is therefore desirable to temporarily disregard input from the keyboard,
until it is folded back. This obviously is a policy which should be kept
out of the kernel, but the kernel must provide suitable means to implement
such a policy.

This patch adds a sysfs interface for exactly this purpose.

To implement the said interface it adds an "inhibited" property to struct
input_dev, and effectively creates four states a device can be in: closed
uninhibited, closed inhibited, open uninhibited, open inhibited. It also
defers calling driver's ->open() and ->close() to until they are actually
needed, e.g. it makes no sense to prepare the underlying device for
generating events (->open()) if the device is inhibited.

uninhibit
closed <------------ closed
uninhibited ------------> inhibited
| ^ inhibit | ^
1st | | 1st | |
open | | open | |
| | | |
| | last | | last
| | close | | close
v | uninhibit v |
open <------------ open
uninhibited ------------> inhibited

The top inhibit/uninhibit transition happens when users == 0.
The bottom inhibit/uninhibit transition happens when users > 0.
The left open/close transition happens when !inhibited.
The right open/close transition happens when inhibited.
Due to all transitions being serialized with dev->mutex, it is impossible
to have "diagonal" transitions between closed uninhibited and open
inhibited or between open uninhibited and closed inhibited.

No new callbacks are added to drivers, because their open() and close()
serve exactly the purpose to tell the driver to start/stop providing
events to the input core. Consequently, open() and close() - if provided
- are called in both inhibit and uninhibit paths.

Input: add support for polling to input devices

Separating "normal" and "polled" input devices was a mistake, as often we
want to allow the very same device work on both interrupt-driven and
polled mode, depending on the board on which the device is used.

This introduces new APIs:

- input_setup_polling
- input_set_poll_interval
- input_set_min_poll_interval
- input_set_max_poll_interval

These new APIs allow switching an input device into polled mode with sysfs
attributes matching drivers using input_polled_dev APIs that will be
eventually removed.

Input: uinput - avoid FF flush when destroying device

Normally, when input device supporting force feedback effects is being
destroyed, we try to "flush" currently playing effects, so that the
physical device does not continue vibrating (or executing other effects).
Unfortunately this does not work well for uinput as flushing of the effects
deadlocks with the destroy action:

- if device is being destroyed because the file descriptor is being closed,
then there is noone to even service FF requests;

- if device is being destroyed because userspace sent UI_DEV_DESTROY,
while theoretically it could be possible to service FF requests,
userspace is unlikely to do so (they'd need to make sure FF handling
happens on a separate thread) even if kernel solves the issue with FF
ioctls deadlocking with UI_DEV_DESTROY ioctl on udev->mutex.

To avoid lockups like the one below, let's install a custom input device
flush handler, and avoid trying to flush force feedback effects when we
destroying the device, and instead rely on uinput to shut off the device
properly.

Input: introduce managed input devices (add devres support)

There is a demand from driver's writers to use managed devices framework
for their drivers. Unfortunately up to this moment input devices did not
provide support for managed devices and that lead to mixing two styles
of resource management which usually introduced more bugs, such as
manually unregistering input device but relying in devres to free
interrupt handler which (unless device is properly shut off) can cause
ISR to reference already freed memory.

This change introduces devm_input_allocate_device() that will allocate
managed instance of input device so that driver writers who prefer
using devm_* framework do not have to mix 2 styles.

Input: Send events one packet at a time

On heavy event loads, such as a multitouch driver, the irqsoff latency
can be as high as 250 us. By accumulating a frame worth of data
before passing it on, the latency can be dramatically reduced. As a
side effect, the special EV_SYN handling can be removed, since the
frame is now atomic.

This patch adds the events() handler callback and uses it if it
exists. The latency is improved by 50 us even without the callback.

Input: add infrastructure for selecting clockid for event time stamps

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: force feedback - potential integer wrap in input_ff_create()

The problem here is that max_effects can wrap on 32 bits systems.
We'd allocate a smaller amount of data than sizeof(struct ff_device).
The call to kcalloc() on the next line would fail but it would write
the NULL return outside of the memory we just allocated causing data
corruption.

The call path is that uinput_setup_device() get ->ff_effects_max from
the user and sets the value in the ->private_data struct. From there
it is:
-> uinput_ioctl_handler()
-> uinput_create_device()
-> input_ff_create(dev, udev->ff_effects_max);

I've also changed ff_effects_max so it's an unsigned int instead of
a signed int as a cleanup.
