When using realtime signals, we'll enqueue one signal for every event.
This is unfortunate, because (for example) keyboard presses are three
events: key, msc scancode, and syn.  They'll be enqueued fast enough in
kernel space that all three events will be ready to read by the time
userspace runs, so the first invocation of the signal handler will read
all three events, but then the second two invocations still have to run
to do no work.

Instead, only send the SIGIO notification on syn events.  This is a
slight abuse of SIGIO semantics, in principle it ought to fire as soon
as any events are readable.  But it matches evdev semantics, which is
more important since SIGIO is rather vaguely defined to begin with.

Commit 3d5cb60e ("Input: simplify name handling for certain input
handles") introduced a regression for the EVIOCGNAME/JSIOCGNAME
ioctl.

Before this, patch, the platform device's name was given back to
userspace which was good to identify devices. After this patch, the
device is ("event%d", minor) which is not descriptive at all.

This fixes the behaviour by taking dev-&gt;name.

Synaptics uses anisotropic coordinate system.  On some wide touchpads
vertical resolution can be twice as high as horizontal which causes
unequal sensitivity on x/y directions.  Add support for reading the
resolution with EVIOCGABS ioctl.

For evdev, joydev and mousedev, instead of having a separate character array
holding name of the handle, use struct devce's name which is the same.

<title>Rationalize fasync return values</title>

Most fasync implementations do something like:

     return fasync_helper(...);

But fasync_helper() will return a positive value at times - a feature used
in at least one place.  Thus, a number of other drivers do:

     err = fasync_helper(...);
     if (err &lt; 0)
             return err;
     return 0;

In the interests of consistency and more concise code, it makes sense to
map positive return values onto zero where -&gt;fasync() is called.

As it is, all instances of -&gt;release() for files that have -&gt;fasync()
need to remember to evict file from fasync lists; forgetting that
creates a hole and we actually have a bunch that *does* forget.

So let's keep our lives simple - let __fput() check FASYNC in
file-&gt;f_flags and call -&gt;fasync() there if it's been set.  And lose that
crap in -&gt;release() instances - leaving it there is still valid, but we
don't have to bother anymore.

needs the input_event code that evdev uses, so let's refactor it so it can
be shared.
