As explained in 1407814240-4275-1-git-send-email-decui@microsoft.com we
have a hard load dependency between i8042 and atkbd which prevents
keyboard from working on Gen2 Hyper-V VMs.
> hyperv_keyboard invokes serio_interrupt(), which needs a valid serio
> driver like atkbd.c. atkbd.c depends on libps2.c because it invokes
> ps2_command(). libps2.c depends on i8042.c because it invokes
> i8042_check_port_owner(). As a result, hyperv_keyboard actually
> depends on i8042.c.
>
> For a Generation 2 Hyper-V VM (meaning no i8042 device emulated), if a
> Linux VM (like Arch Linux) happens to configure CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=m
> rather than =y, atkbd.ko can't load because i8042.ko can't load(due to
> no i8042 device emulated) and finally hyperv_keyboard can't work and
> the user can't input: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39820
> (Ubuntu/RHEL/SUSE aren't affected since they use CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=y)
To break the dependency we move away from using i8042_check_port_owner()
and instead allow serio port owner specify a mutex that clients should use
to serialize PS/2 command stream.

This driver adds support for slidebars found on some Lenovo IdeaPad
laptops (the slidebars work with SlideNav/Desktop Navigator under
Windows).
Fixes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16004
Registers 'IdeaPad Slidebar' input device and
/sys/devices/platform/ideapad_slidebar/slidebar_mode
for switching slidebar's modes.
Now works on:
IdeaPad Y550, Y550P.
May work on (testing and adding new models is needed):
Ideapad Y560, Y460, Y450, Y650,
and, probably, some others.

Some hardware (such as Dell laptops) signal a variety of events through
the i8042 controller, even if these don't map to keyboard events. Add
support for drivers to filter the i8042 event stream in order to respond
to these events and (if appropriate) block them from entering the input
stream.

The serio ports on i8042 are not completely isolated; while we provide
enough locking to ensure proper serialization when accessing control
and data registers AUX and KBD ports can still have an effect on each
other on PS/2 protocol level. The most prominent effect is that
issuing a command for the device connected to one port may cause
abort of the command currently executing by the device connected to
another port.
Since i8042 nor serio subsystem are not aware of the details of the
PS/2 protocol (length of the commands and their replies and so on) the
locking should be done on libps2 level by adding special handling when
we see that we are dealing with serio port on i8042.

Export the i8042_command() function which manages the mutual
exclusion with the help of the i8042_lock spinlock. This allows
to access i8042 safely from other parts of the kernel.
