Subject: [RFC] tty/sysrq: Add alternative SysRq key
Date:   Wed,  3 Nov 2021 16:54:38 +0100
Message-Id: <20211103155438.11167-1-andrzej.p@collabora.com>
Precedence: bulk

There exist machines which don't have SysRq key at all, e.g. chromebooks.

This patch allows configuring an alternative key to act as SysRq. Devices
which declare KEY_SYSRQ in their 'keybit' bitmap continue using KEY_SYSRQ,
but other devices use the alternative SysRq key instead, by default F10.
Which key is actually used can be modified with sysrq's module parameter.

I'd like to resurrect an old thread regarding supporting alternative SysRq
key for machines which don't have a physical SysRq key at all.

The old thread:

https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg67982.html

I'm resending this patch, rebased onto v5.15.

Any (new) thoughts about it?
