Input: synaptics - adjust threshold for treating position values as negative

2014-06-07T23:02:06Z

commit 824efd37415961d38821ecbd9694e213fb2e8b32 upstream. Commit c039450 (Input: synaptics - handle out of bounds values from the hardware) caused any hardware reported values over 7167 to be treated as a wrapped-around negative value. It turns out that some firmware uses the value 8176 to indicate a finger near the edge of the touchpad whose actual position cannot be determined. This value now gets treated as negative, which can cause pointer jumps and broken edge scrolling on these machines. I only know of one touchpad which reports negative values, and this hardware never reports any value lower than -8 (i.e. 8184). Moving the threshold for treating a value as negative up to 8176 should work fine then for any hardware we currently know about, and since we're dealing with unspecified behavior it's probably the best we can do. The special 8176 value is also likely to result in sudden jumps in position, so let's also clamp this to the maximum specified value for the axis.

Input: synaptics - add manual min/max quirk

2014-04-03T18:58:46Z

commit 421e08c41fda1f0c2ff6af81a67b491389b653a5 upstream. The new Lenovo Haswell series (-40's) contains a new Synaptics touchpad. However, these new Synaptics devices report bad axis ranges. Under Windows, it is not a problem because the Windows driver uses RMI4 over SMBus to talk to the device. Under Linux, we are using the PS/2 fallback interface and it occurs the reported ranges are wrong. Of course, it would be too easy to have only one range for the whole series, each touchpad seems to be calibrated in a different way. We can not use SMBus to get the actual range because I suspect the firmware will switch into the SMBus mode and stop talking through PS/2 (this is the case for hybrid HID over I2C / PS/2 Synaptics touchpads). So as a temporary solution (until RMI4 land into upstream), start a new list of quirks with the min/max manually set.

Input: elantech - improve clickpad detection

2014-03-31T04:40:30Z

commit c15bdfd5b9831e4cab8cfc118243956e267dd30e upstream. The current assumption in the elantech driver that hw version 3 touchpads are never clickpads and hw version 4 touchpads are always clickpads is wrong. There are several bug reports for this, ie: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1030802 http://superuser.com/questions/619582/right-elantech-touchpad-button-not-working-in-linux I've spend a couple of hours wading through various bugzillas, launchpads and forum posts to create a list of fw-versions and capabilities for different laptop models to find a good method to differentiate between clickpads and versions with separate hardware buttons. Which shows that a device being a clickpad is reliable indicated by bit 12 being set in the fw_version. I've included the gathered list inside the driver, so that we've this info at hand if we need to revisit this later.

Input: synaptics - handle out of bounds values from the hardware

2014-02-20T18:45:33Z

commit c0394506e69b37c47d391c2a7bbea3ea236d8ec8 upstream. The touchpad on the Acer Aspire One D250 will report out of range values in the extreme lower portion of the touchpad. These appear as abrupt changes in the values reported by the hardware from very low values to very high values, which can cause unexpected vertical jumps in the position of the mouse pointer. What seems to be happening is that the value is wrapping to a two's compliment negative value of higher resolution than the 13-bit value reported by the hardware, with the high-order bits being truncated. This patch adds handling for these values by converting them to the appropriate negative values. The only tricky part about this is deciding when to treat a number as negative. It stands to reason that if out of range values can be reported on the low end then it could also happen on the high end, so not all out of range values should be treated as negative. The approach taken here is to split the difference between the maximum legitimate value for the axis and the maximum possible value that the hardware can report, treating values greater than this number as negative and all other values as positive. This can be tweaked later if hardware is found that operates outside of these parameters.

Input: allocate absinfo data when setting ABS capability

2014-01-08T17:42:12Z

commit 28a2a2e1aedbe2d8b2301e6e0e4e63f6e4177aca upstream. We need to make sure we allocate absinfo data when we are setting one of EV_ABS/ABS_XXX capabilities, otherwise we may bomb when we try to emit this event.

Input: usbtouchscreen - separate report and transmit buffer size handling

2013-12-20T15:34:20Z

commit 4ef38351d770cc421f4a0c7a849fd13207fc5741 upstream. This patch supports the separate handling of the USB transfer buffer length and the length of the buffer used for multi packet support. For devices supporting multiple report or diagnostic packets, the USB transfer size is now limited to the USB endpoints wMaxPacketSize - otherwise it defaults to the configured report packet size as before. This fixes an issue where event reporting can be delayed for an arbitrary time for multi packet devices. For instance the report size for eGalax devices is defined to the 16 byte maximum diagnostic packet size as opposed to the 5 byte report packet size. In case the driver requests 16 byte from the USB interrupt endpoint, the USB host controller driver needs to split up the request into 2 accesses according to the endpoints wMaxPacketSize of 8 byte. When the first transfer is answered by the eGalax device with not less than the full 8 byte requested, the host controller has got no way of knowing whether the touch controller has got additional data queued and will issue the second transfer. If per example a liftoff event finishes at such a wMaxPacketSize boundary, the data will not be available to the usbtouch driver until a further event is triggered and transfered to the host. From user perspective the BTN_TOUCH release event in this case is stuck until the next touch down event.

Input: mousedev - allow disabling even without CONFIG_EXPERT

2013-12-12T06:34:11Z

commit dfaaed08ecc01bd513248ba7999daf50ce028352 upstream. 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.

commit bcd2623073e98f69f84720308db0b142c4da0bd6 upstream. 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.
