commit e8b95728f724797f958912fd9b765a695595d3a6 upstream.

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-&gt;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.

commit affa80bd97f7ca282d1faa91667b3ee9e4c590e6 upstream.

When running a 32-bit userspace on a 64-bit kernel, the UI_SET_PHYS
ioctl needs to be treated with special care, as it has the pointer
size encoded in the command.

Some devices provide absolute axes with min/max of 0/0 (e.g. wacom's
ABS_MISC axis). Current uinput restrictions do not allow duplication of
these devices and require hacks in userspace to work around this.

If the kernel accepts physical devices with a min/max of 0/0, uinput
shouldn't disallow the same range.

Instead of open-coding copying of data structures from userspace use
memdup_user() and strndup_user(). Note that this introduces change in
behavior because driver used to truncate 'phys' longer than 1024 bytes,
but now it will refuse to set 'phys' that long. Arguably trying to set
such 'phys' is suspect anyways.

Today, userspace sets up an input device based on the data it emits.
This is not always enough; a tablet and a touchscreen may emit exactly
the same data, for instance, but the former should be set up with a
pointer whereas the latter does not need to. Recently, a new type of
touchpad has emerged where the buttons are under the pad, which
changes logic without changing the emitted data. This patch introduces
a new ioctl, EVIOCGPROP, which enables user access to a set of device
properties useful during setup. The properties are given as a bitmap
in the same fashion as the event types, and are also made available
via sysfs, uevent and /proc/bus/input/devices.

The MT slots devices all follow the same initialization pattern
of creating slots and hinting about buffer size. Let drivers call
an initialization function instead, and make sure it can be called
repeatedly without side effects.
