Which shaders have to have input layout?

I'm creating a game based on DirectX 11.1. Now I'm coding shaders part and I have one question: How many shader types have to have their own separate input layout? I have every existing DirectX 11.1 in mind, including compute shaders, geometry shaders and other.

Assuming you're talking about ID3D11InputLayout, the only shader stage that requires this is the vertex shader. The other stages have their inputs/outputs defined as the arguments and return types of their main function, respectively.
