[SPARC64]: Fix section error in sparcspkr

2008-01-22T06:34:31Z

With a sparc64 defconfig modified to set CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n the following error happened during link of vmlinux: local symbol 0: discarded in section `.devexit.text' from drivers/built-in.o local symbol 1: discarded in section `.devexit.text' from drivers/built-in.o (The error message above is from kbuild.git but it happens in mainline too) The error happens becase there is a reference from .text/.data to a function marked __devexit. With CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n all code marked __devexit are discarded and the linker complains. It was tracked down to sparcspkr.c which were missing __devexit_p() around the function pointers. Unfortunately modpost did not catch this since modpost do not warn about references from .data to .devexit from variables named *_driver. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

The recently added support for Dell Volstro 1400 was causing protocol synchronization errors on Acer Aspire 5720ZG, fix it. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: psmouse - fix input_dev leak in lifebook driver

2008-01-17T17:01:51Z

The lifebook driver may register a second input device, but it never unregisters it. This fixes that. Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: psmouse - fix potential memory leak in psmouse_connect()

2008-01-17T17:01:30Z

If we successfully call input_register_device() in psmouse_connect() but sysfs_create_group() fails, we'll enter the error path without ever having called input_unregister_device() potentially leaking memory. Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: usbtouchscreen - fix buffer overflow, make more egalax work

2008-01-17T17:01:18Z

Fix a buffer overflow in mutli-packet handling code. The overflow can only happen with eGalax devices and is even there very unlikely (only non-report packet are affected any only when truncated after the first byte). Also changes the mutli-packet handling code not to drop unknown packets, but rather just drop one byte. This allows synchronizing on report packets in the data stream. It's required for some egalax devices to work at all. Also remove the pointless 'flags' member of the device struct and set the version number to 0.6, plus some minor cleanups.

Input: mousedev - handle mice that use absolute coordinates

2008-01-17T17:01:04Z

Devices like the HP Integrated Remote Console Virtual Mouse, which are standard equipment on all Proliant and Integrity servers, produce absolute coordinates instead of relative coordinates. This is done to synchronize the position of the mouse cursor on the client desktop with the mouse cursor position on the server. Mousedev is not designed to pass those absolute events directly to X, but it can translate them into relative movements. It currently does this for tablet like devices and touchpads. This patch merely tells it to also include a device with ABS_X, ABS_Y, and mouse buttons in its list of devices to process input for. This patch enables the mouse pointer to move when using the remote console. Signed-off-by: Micah Parrish Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov

Input: pass EV_PWR events to event handlers

2008-01-03T15:46:21Z

input_handle_event() used to pass EV_PWR events to event handlers but no longer does so in 2.6.23. Modules to trigger power management events based on input power events exist but rely on the EV_PWR events being passed to the input event handlers.
