IBM Trackpoints have a feature to compensate for drift by recalibrating
themselves periodically. By default, if for 0.5 seconds there is no change
in position, it's used as the new zero. This duration is too low. Often,
the calibration happens when the trackpoint is in fact being used.
IBM's Trackpoint Engineering Specifications show a configuration register
that allows changing this duration, rstdft1.
Expose it via sysfs among the other settings.

I've not done a full audit of all mouse drivers, I noticed these ones were

It is useful for userspace to know that there not dealing with a regular
mouse but rather with a pointing stick (e.g. a trackpoint) so that
userspace can e.g. automatically enable middle button scrollwheel
emulation.
It is impossible to tell the difference from the evdev info without
resorting to putting a list of device / driver names in userspace, this is
undesirable.
Add a property which allows userspace to see if a device is a pointing
stick, and set it on all the pointing stick drivers.

The trackpoint driver sets various parameter default values, all of
which happen to be power-on defaults (Source: IBM TrackPoint Engineering
Specification, Version 4.0. Also confirmed by empirical data).
By sending the power-on reset command to reset all parameters to
power-on state, we can skip the lengthy process of programming all
parameters. In testing, ~2.5 secs of time writing parameters was reduced
to .35 seconds waiting for power-on reset to complete.

With commit 67d0a07544 we mark strict_strtox
as obsolete. Convert all remaining such uses in drivers/input/.
Also change long to appropriate types, and return error conditions
from kstrtox separately, as Dmitry sugguests.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Do not start protocol detection assuming that middle mouse is present,
instead let individual protocols explicitly set this capability.
This fixes issue with Synaptics touchpads pretending that they have
middle button when hardware clearly reports otherwise.
