<title>thinkpad-acpi: update HKEY and hotkey subdriver documentation (v2)</title>

<id>69df49eb31e14fb01d9404497b751bfda9bfa012</id>
<content type='text'>
Update the hotkey driver documentation to match the behaviour
of the fixed NVRAM polling code.

This also documents some HKEY events such as the alarms,
which is very important information.

Documentation/laptops/laptop-mode.txt:
Expose example and tool source files in the Documentation/ directory in
their own files instead of being buried (almost hidden) in readme/txt files.
This should help to prevent bitrot.

This will make them more visible/usable to users who may need
to use them, to developers who may need to test with them, and
to anyone who would fix/update them if they were more visible.

Also, if any of these possibly should not be in the kernel tree at
all, it will be clearer that they are here and we can discuss if
they should be removed.

<title>thinkpad-acpi: lock down video output state access</title>

<id>b525c06cdbd8a3963f0173ccd23f9147d4c384b5</id>
<content type='text'>
Given the right combination of ThinkPad and X.org, just reading the
video output control state is enough to hard-crash X.org.

Until the day I somehow find out a model or BIOS cut date to not
provide this feature to ThinkPads that can do video switching through
X RandR, change permissions so that only processes with CAP_SYS_ADMIN
can access any sort of video output control state.

This bug could be considered a local DoS I suppose, as it allows any
non-privledged local user to cause some versions of X.org to
hard-crash some ThinkPads.
