From ef7995f4e46b1677f3eaaf547316e1a910b38dcb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Torokhov Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2010 23:59:12 -0800 Subject: Input: implement input filters Sometimes it is desirable to suppress certain events from reaching input handlers and thus user space. One such example is Mac mouse button emulation code which catches certain key presses and converts them into button clicks as if they were emitted by a virtual mouse. The original key press events should be completely suppressed, otherwise user space will be confused, and while keyboard driver does it on its own evdev is blissfully unaware of this arrangement. This patch adds notion of 'filter' to the standard input handlers, which may flag event as filtered thus preventing it from reaching other input handlers. Filters don't (nor will they ever) have a notion of priority relative to each other, input core will run all of them first and any one of them may mark event as filtered. This patch is inspired by similar patch by Matthew Garret but the implementation and intended usage are quite different.

Now that the driver has been switched to use unsigned short keycodes instead of unsigned char we can release this range back into pull. We keep code 255 (ATKBD_KEY_NULL) reserved since users may have been using it to silence keys they do not care about since atkbd silently drops scancodes mapped to this keycode.
