Changes in v6:
 - Consolidated the value member of struct counter_event down to a
   single u64; u64 should be capable of representing all component
   values
 - Removed extension width sysfs attributes; no longer needed when value
   is always u64
 - Implemented COUNTER_COMPONENT_DUMMY to allow timestamp grabs without
   component data reads
 - Implemented events_config() callback; called during
   COUNTER_CLEAR_WATCHES_IOCTL and COUNTER_LOAD_WATCHES_IOCTL in order
   to allow devices a chance to adjust (enable/disable IRQ, etc.) for
   the new events configuration requested by the user
 - Simplified example code in Documentation by removing confusing use of
   poll() call
 - Removed redundant ida_simple_remove() from counter_register()
 - Renamed devm_counter_unreg() to devm_counter_unregister()
 - Renamed functions in counter-sysfs.c to be clearer
 - Fixed miscellaneous typos throughout files
 - Added more kernel doc comments; I've left some defines without
   comments if they seemed obvious -- but please let me know if further
   documentation is needed
 - Refactored quad8_irq_handler() to use WARN_ONCE() instead of
   returning on error; this should prevent interrupts from entering an
   endless loop
 - General refactoring and additional comments for clarity
 - Returns EOPNOTSUPP instead of EFAULT now if a Counter watch is added
   for unsupported component
 - Renamed COUNTER_SET_WATCH_IOCTL TO COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL to make
   the use clear
 - Reimplemented the parent and id members of struct counter_component
   as __u8 instead of __u64; it's unlikely we'll ever have a device that
   supports more than 255 components
 - Reimplement __u64 variables in include/uapi/linux/counter.h as
   __aligned_u64 to prevent 32-bit vs 64-bit alignment issues
 - Fixed return value bug in counter_comp_u8_store(); enums set to a
   value with index > 0 should now work correctly
 - Fixed spectre issues in counter-chrdev.c
 - Removed redundant get_device() call from counter_register()
 - Moved put_device() to after the events_list is freed lest we leak
   memory

I'm skipping the introduction blurb because it was just a rehashing of
information included in the documentation patches within this patchset.
Instead I will focus this cover letter on discussions about this
patchset and the userspace interface implications.

1. Should standard Counter component data types be defined as u8 or u32?

   Many standard Counter component types such COUNTER_COMP_SIGNAL_LEVEL
   have standard values defined (e.g. COUNTER_SIGNAL_LEVEL_LOW and
   COUNTER_SIGNAL_LEVEL_HIGH). These values are currently handled by the
   Counter subsystem code as u8 data types.

   If u32 is used for these values instead, C enum structures could be
   used by driver authors to implicitly cast these values via the driver
   callback parameters.

   This question is primarily addressed to David Lechner. I'm somewhat
   confused about how this setup would look in device drivers. I've gone
   ahead and refactored the code to support u32 enums, and pushed it to
   a separate branch on my repository called counter_chrdev_v6_u32_enum:
   https://gitlab.com/vilhelmgray/iio/-/tree/counter_chrdev_v6_u32_enum

   Please check it out and let me know what you think. Is this the
   support you had in mind? I'm curious to see an example of how would
   your driver callback functions would look in this case. Is everything
   works out fine, then I'll submit this branch as v7 of this patchset.

2. How should we handle "raw" timestamps?

   Ahmad Fatoum brought up the possibility of returning "raw" timestamps
   similar to what the network stack offers (see the network stack
   SOF_TIMESTAMPING_{RAW,SYS}_HARDWARE support).

   I'm not very familiar with the networking stack code, but if I
   understand correctly the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE timestamps are
   values returned from the device. If so, I suspect we would be able to
   support these "raw" timestamps by defining them as Counter Extensions
   and returning them in struct counter_event elements similar to the
   other Extension values.

This is a reimplementation of the Generic Counter driver interface.
There are no modifications to the Counter subsystem userspace interface,
so existing userspace applications should continue to run seamlessly.

Overview
========

The purpose of this patch is to internalize the sysfs interface code
among the various counter drivers into a shared module. Counter drivers
pass and take data natively (i.e. u8, u64, etc.) and the shared counter
module handles the translation between the sysfs interface. This
guarantees a standard userspace interface for all counter drivers, and
helps generalize the Generic Counter driver ABI in order to support the
Generic Counter chrdev interface (introduced in a subsequent patch)
without significant changes to the existing counter drivers.

A high-level view of how a count value is passed down from a counter
driver is exemplified by the following. The driver callbacks are first
registered to the Counter core component for use by the Counter
userspace interface components:

                        +----------------------------+
	                | Counter device driver      |

                        -------------------
                                |

                        | Counter core         |
                        +----------------------+
                        | Routes device driver |
                        | callbacks to the     |
                        | userspace interfaces |
                        +----------------------+
                                |
                         -------------------
                        / driver callbacks /
                        -------------------

Thereafter, data can be transferred directly between the Counter device
driver and Counter userspace interface:

                        / Counter device       \

         --------------------------------------------------

There are three primary components involved:

Counter device driver
---------------------
Communicates with the hardware device to read/write data; e.g. counter
drivers for quadrature encoders, timers, etc.

Counter core
------------
Registers the counter device driver to the system so that the respective
callbacks are called during userspace interaction.

Counter sysfs
-------------
Translates counter data to the standard Counter sysfs interface format
and vice versa.

Driver ABI
==========

This reimplementation entails several changes to the driver ABI. In
particular, the device driver callbacks are now expected to handle
standard C datatypes rather than translating the sysfs I/O directly.

To that end, the struct counter_comp structure is introduced to
establish counter extensions for Signals, Synapses, and Counts.

The "type" member specifies the type of high-level data (e.g. BOOL,
COUNT_DIRECTION, etc.) handled by this extension. The "*_read" and
"*_write" members can then be set by the counter device driver with
callbacks to handle that data using native C data types (i.e. u8, u64,
etc.).

Convenience macros such as COUNTER_COMP_COUNT_U64 are provided for use
by driver authors. In particular, driver authors are expected to use
the provided macros for standard Counter subsystem attributes in order
to maintain a consistent interface for userspace. For example, a counter
device driver may define several standard attributes like so:

struct counter_comp count_ext[] = {
	COUNTER_COMP_DIRECTION(count_direction_read),
	COUNTER_COMP_ENABLE(count_enable_read, count_enable_write),
	COUNTER_COMP_CEILING(count_ceiling_read, count_ceiling_write),
};

This makes it simple to see, add, and modify the attributes that are
supported by this driver ("direction", "enable", and "ceiling") and to
maintain this code without getting lost in a web of struct braces.

Callbacks must match the function type expected for the respective
component or extension. These function types are defined in the struct
counter_comp structure as the "*_read" and "*_write" union members.

The corresponding callback prototypes for the extensions above would be:

int count_direction_read(struct counter_device *counter,
			 struct counter_count *count, u8 *direction);
int count_enable_read(struct counter_device *counter,
		      struct counter_count *count, u8 *enable);
int count_enable_write(struct counter_device *counter,
		       struct counter_count *count, u8 enable);
int count_ceiling_read(struct counter_device *counter,
		       struct counter_count *count, u64 *ceiling);
int count_ceiling_write(struct counter_device *counter,
			struct counter_count *count, u64 ceiling);

In this way, driver authors no longer need to mess with sysfs strings
and are instead able to focus on what they actually care about doing --
getting data to/from the devices -- while the Generic Counter interface
handles the translation of that data for them between the various
userspace interfaces (e.g. sysfs and chardev).

Architecture
============

Counter device registration is the same as before: drivers populate a
struct counter_device with components and callbacks, then pass the
structure to the devm_counter_register function. However, what's
different now is how the Counter subsystem code handles this
registration internally.

Whereas before callbacks would interact directly with sysfs data, this
interaction is now abstracted and instead callbacks interact with native
C data types. The counter_comp structure forms the basis for Counter
extensions.

The counter-sysfs.c file contains the code to parse through the
counter_device structure and register the requested components and
extensions. Attributes are created and populated based on type, with
respective translation functions to handle the mapping between sysfs and
the counter driver callbacks.

The translation performed for each attribute is straightforward: the
attribute type and data is parsed from the counter_attribute structure,
the respective counter driver read/write callback is called, and sysfs
I/O is handled before or after the driver read/write function is called.

changed in order to handle Counter sysfs interactions in a more
consistent way. This patch updates the Generic Counter interface
documentation to reflect the changes.

-counter_count_ext and counter_signal_ext structures allow for auxiliary
-exposure and configuration of a specific Count or Signal respectively.
+devm_counter_register function may be used if device memory-managed
+registration is desired.
+
+The struct counter_comp structure is used to define counter extensions
+for Signals, Synapses, and Counts.
+
+The "type" member specifies the type of high-level data (e.g. BOOL,
+COUNT_DIRECTION, etc.) handled by this extension. The "`*_read`" and
+"`*_write`" members can then be set by the counter device driver with
+callbacks to handle that data using native C data types (i.e. u8, u64,
+etc.).
+
+Convenience macros such as `COUNTER_COMP_COUNT_U64` are provided for use
+by driver authors. In particular, driver authors are expected to use
+the provided macros for standard Counter subsystem attributes in order
+to maintain a consistent interface for userspace. For example, a counter
+device driver may define several standard attributes like so::
+
+        struct counter_comp count_ext[] = {
+                COUNTER_COMP_DIRECTION(count_direction_read),
+                COUNTER_COMP_ENABLE(count_enable_read, count_enable_write),
+                COUNTER_COMP_CEILING(count_ceiling_read, count_ceiling_write),
+        };
+
+This makes it simple to see, add, and modify the attributes that are
+supported by this driver ("direction", "enable", and "ceiling") and to
+maintain this code without getting lost in a web of struct braces.
+
+Callbacks must match the function type expected for the respective
+component or extension. These function types are defined in the struct
+counter_comp structure as the "`*_read`" and "`*_write`" union members.
+
+The corresponding callback prototypes for the extensions mentioned in
+the previous example above would be::
+
+        int count_direction_read(struct counter_device *counter,
+                                 struct counter_count *count, u8 *direction);
+        int count_enable_read(struct counter_device *counter,
+                              struct counter_count *count, u8 *enable);
+        int count_enable_write(struct counter_device *counter,
+                               struct counter_count *count, u8 enable);
+        int count_ceiling_read(struct counter_device *counter,
+                               struct counter_count *count, u64 *ceiling);

-Architecture
-============
-
-When the Generic Counter interface counter module is loaded, the
-counter_init function is called which registers a bus_type named
-"counter" to the system. Subsequently, when the module is unloaded, the
-counter_exit function is called which unregisters the bus_type named
-"counter" from the system.
-
-Counter devices are registered to the system via the counter_register
-function, and later removed via the counter_unregister function. The
-counter_register function establishes a unique ID for the Counter
-device and creates a respective sysfs directory, where X is the
-mentioned unique ID:
-
-    /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX
-
-Sysfs attributes are created within the counterX directory to expose
-functionality, configurations, and data relating to the Counts, Signals,
-and Synapses of the Counter device, as well as options and information
-for the Counter device itself.
-
-Each Signal has a directory created to house its relevant sysfs
-attributes, where Y is the unique ID of the respective Signal:
-
-    /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/signalY
-
-Similarly, each Count has a directory created to house its relevant
-sysfs attributes, where Y is the unique ID of the respective Count:
-
-    /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY
-
-For a more detailed breakdown of the available Generic Counter interface
-sysfs attributes, please refer to the
-Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-counter file.
-
-The Signals and Counts associated with the Counter device are registered
-to the system as well by the counter_register function. The
-signal_read/signal_write driver callbacks are associated with their
-respective Signal attributes, while the count_read/count_write and
-function_get/function_set driver callbacks are associated with their
-respective Count attributes; similarly, the same is true for the
-action_get/action_set driver callbacks and their respective Synapse
-attributes. If a driver callback is left undefined, then the respective
-read/write permission is left disabled for the relevant attributes.
-
-Similarly, extension sysfs attributes are created for the defined
-counter_device_ext, counter_count_ext, and counter_signal_ext
-structures that are passed in.
+Subsystem Architecture
+======================
+
+Counter drivers pass and take data natively (i.e. `u8`, `u64`, etc.) and
+the shared counter module handles the translation between the sysfs
+interface. This gurantees a standard userspace interface for all counter
+drivers, and helps generalize the Generic Counter driver ABI in order to
+support the Generic Counter chrdev interface without significant changes
+to the existing counter drivers.
+
+A high-level view of how a count value is passed down from a counter
+driver is exemplified by the following. The driver callbacks are first
+registered to the Counter core component for use by the Counter
+userspace interface components::

+
+The struct counter_comp structure is used to define counter extensions
+for Signals, Synapses, and Counts.
+
+The "type" member specifies the type of high-level data (e.g. BOOL,
+COUNT_DIRECTION, etc.) handled by this extension. The "`*_read`" and
+"`*_write`" members can then be set by the counter device driver with
+callbacks to handle that data using native C data types (i.e. u8, u64,
+etc.).
+
+Convenience macros such as `COUNTER_COMP_COUNT_U64` are provided for use
+by driver authors. In particular, driver authors are expected to use
+the provided macros for standard Counter subsystem attributes in order
+to maintain a consistent interface for userspace. For example, a counter
+device driver may define several standard attributes like so::
+
+        struct counter_comp count_ext[] = {
+                COUNTER_COMP_DIRECTION(count_direction_read),
+                COUNTER_COMP_ENABLE(count_enable_read, count_enable_write),
+                COUNTER_COMP_CEILING(count_ceiling_read, count_ceiling_write),
+        };
+
+This makes it simple to see, add, and modify the attributes that are
+supported by this driver ("direction", "enable", and "ceiling") and to
+maintain this code without getting lost in a web of struct braces.
+
+Callbacks must match the function type expected for the respective
+component or extension. These function types are defined in the struct
+counter_comp structure as the "`*_read`" and "`*_write`" union members.
+
+The corresponding callback prototypes for the extensions mentioned in
+the previous example above would be::
+
+        int count_direction_read(struct counter_device *counter,
+                                 struct counter_count *count, u8 *direction);

+                              struct counter_count *count, u8 *enable);
+        int count_enable_write(struct counter_device *counter,
+                               struct counter_count *count, u8 enable);

-When the Generic Counter interface counter module is loaded, the
-counter_init function is called which registers a bus_type named
-"counter" to the system. Subsequently, when the module is unloaded, the
-counter_exit function is called which unregisters the bus_type named
-"counter" from the system.
-
-Counter devices are registered to the system via the counter_register

-counter_register function establishes a unique ID for the Counter
-device and creates a respective sysfs directory, where X is the
-mentioned unique ID:
-
-    /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX
-
-Sysfs attributes are created within the counterX directory to expose
-functionality, configurations, and data relating to the Counts, Signals,
-and Synapses of the Counter device, as well as options and information
-for the Counter device itself.
-
-Each Signal has a directory created to house its relevant sysfs
-attributes, where Y is the unique ID of the respective Signal:
-
-    /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/signalY
-
-Similarly, each Count has a directory created to house its relevant

-
-For a more detailed breakdown of the available Generic Counter interface

-Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-counter file.
-
-The Signals and Counts associated with the Counter device are registered
-to the system as well by the counter_register function. The
-signal_read/signal_write driver callbacks are associated with their
-respective Signal attributes, while the count_read/count_write and
-function_get/function_set driver callbacks are associated with their
-respective Count attributes; similarly, the same is true for the
-action_get/action_set driver callbacks and their respective Synapse
-attributes. If a driver callback is left undefined, then the respective
-read/write permission is left disabled for the relevant attributes.
-
-Similarly, extension sysfs attributes are created for the defined
-counter_device_ext, counter_count_ext, and counter_signal_ext
-structures that are passed in.
+Subsystem Architecture
+======================
+
+Counter drivers pass and take data natively (i.e. `u8`, `u64`, etc.) and
+the shared counter module handles the translation between the sysfs
+interface. This gurantees a standard userspace interface for all counter
+drivers, and helps generalize the Generic Counter driver ABI in order to
+support the Generic Counter chrdev interface without significant changes
+to the existing counter drivers.
+
+A high-level view of how a count value is passed down from a counter
+driver is exemplified by the following. The driver callbacks are first
+registered to the Counter core component for use by the Counter
+userspace interface components::

This patch introduces a character device interface for the Counter
subsystem. Device data is exposed through standard character device read
operations. Device data is gathered when a Counter event is pushed by
the respective Counter device driver. Configuration is handled via ioctl
operations on the respective Counter character device node.

* [PATCH v6 3/5] counter: Add character device interface

This patch introduces a character device interface for the Counter
subsystem. Device data is exposed through standard character device read
operations. Device data is gathered when a Counter event is pushed by
the respective Counter device driver. Configuration is handled via ioctl
operations on the respective Counter character device node.

 Please refer to the `Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-counter` file
 for a detailed breakdown of the available Generic Counter interface
 sysfs attributes.
+
+Counter chrdev
+--------------
+Translates counter data to the standard Counter character device; data
+is transferred via standard character device read calls, while Counter
+events are configured via ioctl calls.
+
+Sysfs Interface
+===============
+
+Several sysfs attributes are generated by the Generic Counter interface,
+and reside under the `/sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX` directory,
+where `X` is to the respective counter device id. Please see
+`Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-counter` for detailed information
+on each Generic Counter interface sysfs attribute.
+
+Through these sysfs attributes, programs and scripts may interact with
+the Generic Counter paradigm Counts, Signals, and Synapses of respective
+counter devices.
+
+Counter Character Device
+========================
+
+Counter character device nodes are created under the `/dev` directory as
+`counterX`, where `X` is the respective counter device id. Defines for
+the standard Counter data types are exposed via the userspace
+`include/uapi/linux/counter.h` file.
+
+Counter events
+--------------
+Counter device drivers can support Counter events by utilizing the
+`counter_push_event` function::
+
+        int counter_push_event(struct counter_device *const counter, const u8 event,
+                               const u8 channel);
+
+The event id is specified by the `event` parameter; the event channel id
+is specified by the `channel` parameter. When this function is called,
+the Counter data associated with the respective event is gathered, and a
+`struct counter_event` is generated for each datum and pushed to
+userspace.
+
+Counter events can be configured by users to report various Counter
+data of interest. This can be conceptualized as a list of Counter
+component read calls to perform. For example::
+
+        +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
+        | COUNTER_EVENT_OVERFLOW | COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX    |
+        +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
+        | Channel 0              | Channel 0              |
+        +------------------------+------------------------+
+        | * Count 0              | * Signal 0             |
+        | * Count 1              | * Signal 0 Extension 0 |
+        | * Signal 3             | * Extension 4          |
+        | * Count 4 Extension 2  +------------------------+
+        | * Signal 5 Extension 0 | Channel 1              |
+        |                        +------------------------+
+        |                        | * Signal 4             |
+        |                        | * Signal 4 Extension 0 |
+        |                        | * Count 7              |
+        +------------------------+------------------------+
+
+When `counter_push_event(counter, COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX, 1)` is called for
+example, it will go down the list for the `COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX` event
+channel 1 and execute the read callbacks for Signal 4, Signal 4
+Extension 0, and Count 4 -- the data returned for each is pushed to a
+kfifo as a `struct counter_event`, which userspace can retrieve via a
+standard read operation on the respective character device node.
+
+Userspace
+---------
+Userspace applications can configure Counter events via ioctl operations
+on the Counter character device node. There following ioctl codes are
+supported and provided by the `linux/counter.h` userspace header file:
+
+* COUNTER_CLEAR_WATCHES_IOCTL:
+  Clear all Counter watches from all events
+
+* COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL:
+  Add a Counter watch for the specified event
+
+* COUNTER_LOAD_WATCHES_IOCTL:
+  Activates the Counter watches added earlier
+
+To configure events to gather Counter data, users first populate a
+`struct counter_watch` with the relevant event id, event channel id, and
+the information for the desired Counter component from which to read,
+and then pass it via the `COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL` ioctl command.
+
+Note that an event can be watched without gathering Counter data by
+setting the `component.type` member equal to `COUNTER_COMPONENT_DUMMY`.
+This configures the component as a dummy: the Counter character device
+node will simply populate the event timestamps for those respective
+`struct counter_event` elements and ignore the component value.
+
+The `COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL` command will buffer these Counter watches.
+When ready, the `COUNTER_LOAD_WATCHES_IOCTL` ioctl command may be used
+to activate these Counter watches.
+
+Userspace applications can then execute a `read` operation (optionally
+calling `poll` first) on the Counter character device node to retrieve
+`struct counter_event` elements with the desired data.
+
+For example, the following userspace code opens `/dev/counter0`,
+configures the `COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX` event channel 0 to gather Count 0
+and Count 1, and prints out the data as it becomes available on the
+character device node::
+
+        #include <fcntl.h>
+        #include <linux/counter.h>
+        #include <stdio.h>
+        #include <sys/ioctl.h>
+        #include <unistd.h>
+
+        struct counter_watch watches[2] = {
+                {
+                        .component.type = COUNTER_COMPONENT_COUNT,
+                        .component.scope = COUNTER_SCOPE_COUNT,

+                        .channel = 0,
+                },
+        };
+
+        int main(void)

 Please refer to the `Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-counter` file
 for a detailed breakdown of the available Generic Counter interface
 sysfs attributes.
+
+Counter chrdev
+--------------
+Translates counter data to the standard Counter character device; data
+is transferred via standard character device read calls, while Counter
+events are configured via ioctl calls.
+
+Sysfs Interface
+===============
+
+Several sysfs attributes are generated by the Generic Counter interface,
+and reside under the `/sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX` directory,
+where `X` is to the respective counter device id. Please see
+`Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-counter` for detailed information
+on each Generic Counter interface sysfs attribute.
+
+Through these sysfs attributes, programs and scripts may interact with
+the Generic Counter paradigm Counts, Signals, and Synapses of respective
+counter devices.
+
+Counter Character Device
+========================
+
+Counter character device nodes are created under the `/dev` directory as
+`counterX`, where `X` is the respective counter device id. Defines for
+the standard Counter data types are exposed via the userspace
+`include/uapi/linux/counter.h` file.
+
+Counter events
+--------------
+Counter device drivers can support Counter events by utilizing the
+`counter_push_event` function::
+
+        int counter_push_event(struct counter_device *const counter, const u8 event,
+                               const u8 channel);
+
+The event id is specified by the `event` parameter; the event channel id
+is specified by the `channel` parameter. When this function is called,
+the Counter data associated with the respective event is gathered, and a
+`struct counter_event` is generated for each datum and pushed to
+userspace.
+
+Counter events can be configured by users to report various Counter
+data of interest. This can be conceptualized as a list of Counter
+component read calls to perform. For example::
+
+        +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
+        | COUNTER_EVENT_OVERFLOW | COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX    |
+        +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
+        | Channel 0              | Channel 0              |
+        +------------------------+------------------------+
+        | * Count 0              | * Signal 0             |
+        | * Count 1              | * Signal 0 Extension 0 |
+        | * Signal 3             | * Extension 4          |
+        | * Count 4 Extension 2  +------------------------+
+        | * Signal 5 Extension 0 | Channel 1              |
+        |                        +------------------------+
+        |                        | * Signal 4             |
+        |                        | * Signal 4 Extension 0 |
+        |                        | * Count 7              |
+        +------------------------+------------------------+
+
+When `counter_push_event(counter, COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX, 1)` is called for
+example, it will go down the list for the `COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX` event
+channel 1 and execute the read callbacks for Signal 4, Signal 4
+Extension 0, and Count 4 -- the data returned for each is pushed to a
+kfifo as a `struct counter_event`, which userspace can retrieve via a
+standard read operation on the respective character device node.
+
+Userspace
+---------
+Userspace applications can configure Counter events via ioctl operations
+on the Counter character device node. There following ioctl codes are
+supported and provided by the `linux/counter.h` userspace header file:
+
+* COUNTER_CLEAR_WATCHES_IOCTL:
+  Clear all Counter watches from all events
+
+* COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL:
+  Add a Counter watch for the specified event
+
+* COUNTER_LOAD_WATCHES_IOCTL:
+  Activates the Counter watches added earlier
+
+To configure events to gather Counter data, users first populate a
+`struct counter_watch` with the relevant event id, event channel id, and
+the information for the desired Counter component from which to read,
+and then pass it via the `COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL` ioctl command.
+
+Note that an event can be watched without gathering Counter data by
+setting the `component.type` member equal to `COUNTER_COMPONENT_DUMMY`.
+This configures the component as a dummy: the Counter character device
+node will simply populate the event timestamps for those respective
+`struct counter_event` elements and ignore the component value.
+
+The `COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL` command will buffer these Counter watches.
+When ready, the `COUNTER_LOAD_WATCHES_IOCTL` ioctl command may be used
+to activate these Counter watches.
+
+Userspace applications can then execute a `read` operation (optionally
+calling `poll` first) on the Counter character device node to retrieve
+`struct counter_event` elements with the desired data.
+
+For example, the following userspace code opens `/dev/counter0`,
+configures the `COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX` event channel 0 to gather Count 0
+and Count 1, and prints out the data as it becomes available on the
+character device node::
+
+        #include <fcntl.h>
+        #include <linux/counter.h>
+        #include <stdio.h>
+        #include <sys/ioctl.h>
+        #include <unistd.h>
+
+        struct counter_watch watches[2] = {
+                {
+                        .component.type = COUNTER_COMPONENT_COUNT,

+                },

* [PATCH v6 5/5] counter: 104-quad-8: Add IRQ support for the ACCES 104-QUAD-8

The LSI/CSI LS7266R1 chip provides programmable output via the FLG pins.
When interrupts are enabled on the ACCES 104-QUAD-8, they occur whenever
FLG1 is active. Four functions are available for the FLG1 signal: Carry,
Compare, Carry-Borrow, and Index.

	Carry:
		Interrupt generated on active low Carry signal. Carry
		signal toggles every time the respective channel's
		counter overflows.

	Compare:
		Interrupt generated on active low Compare signal.
		Compare signal toggles every time respective channel's
		preset register is equal to the respective channel's
		counter.

	Carry-Borrow:
		Interrupt generated on active low Carry signal and
		active low Borrow signal. Carry signal toggles every
		time the respective channel's counter overflows. Borrow
		signal toggles every time the respective channel's
		counter underflows.

	Index:
		Interrupt generated on active high Index signal.

The irq_trigger Count extension is introduced to allow the selection of
the desired IRQ trigger function per channel. The irq_trigger_enable
Count extension is introduced to allow the enablement of interrupts for
a respective channel. Interrupts push Counter events to event channel X,
where 'X' is the respective channel whose FLG1 activated.

This patch adds IRQ support for the ACCES 104-QUAD-8. The interrupt line
numbers for the devices may be configured via the irq array module
parameter.

* [PATCH v6 5/5] counter: 104-quad-8: Add IRQ support for the ACCES 104-QUAD-8

	syednwaris, linux-stm32, linux-arm-kernel, alexandre.torgue

The LSI/CSI LS7266R1 chip provides programmable output via the FLG pins.
When interrupts are enabled on the ACCES 104-QUAD-8, they occur whenever
FLG1 is active. Four functions are available for the FLG1 signal: Carry,
Compare, Carry-Borrow, and Index.

	Carry:
		Interrupt generated on active low Carry signal. Carry
		signal toggles every time the respective channel's
		counter overflows.

	Compare:
		Interrupt generated on active low Compare signal.
		Compare signal toggles every time respective channel's
		preset register is equal to the respective channel's
		counter.

	Carry-Borrow:
		Interrupt generated on active low Carry signal and
		active low Borrow signal. Carry signal toggles every
		time the respective channel's counter overflows. Borrow
		signal toggles every time the respective channel's
		counter underflows.

	Index:
		Interrupt generated on active high Index signal.

The irq_trigger Count extension is introduced to allow the selection of
the desired IRQ trigger function per channel. The irq_trigger_enable
Count extension is introduced to allow the enablement of interrupts for
a respective channel. Interrupts push Counter events to event channel X,
where 'X' is the respective channel whose FLG1 activated.

This patch adds IRQ support for the ACCES 104-QUAD-8. The interrupt line
numbers for the devices may be configured via the irq array module
parameter.

This ti_qep_t2c_functions_map array is left over from some code I was
testing. It's not used at all -- I simply forgot to remove it -- so I'll
make sure to take it out in the next patchset. I'll give this v6
patchset some more time for people to review and comment before I submit
the v7 revision.

It would be really nice if we could break this down into smaller
pieces and start getting it merged. It is really tough to keep
reviewing this much code in one patch over and over again.

Here are some initial findings from testing:

This needs to be `if (err < 0)`. There are cases where the functions
above return positive values. (And to be overly safe, it probably wouldn't
hurt to use err < 0 everywhere - not just in this function.)

This needs to be `if (err < 0)`. There are cases where the functions
above return positive values. (And to be overly safe, it probably wouldn't
hurt to use err < 0 everywhere - not just in this function.)

I haven't had time to look at this in depth, but just superficially looking
at it, it is mostly there. The driver callback would just use the enum type
in place of u32. For example:

static int ti_eqep_function_write(struct counter_device *counter,
				  struct counter_count *count,
				  enum counter_function function)

and the COUNTER_FUNCTION_* constants would be defined as:

enum counter_function {
	COUNTER_FUNCTION_INCREASE,
	...
};

instead of using #define macros.

One advantage I see to using u8, at least in the user API data structures,
is that it increases the number of events that fit in the kfifo buffer by
a significant factor.

And that is not to say that we couldn't do both: have the user API structs
use u8 for enum values and still use u32/strong enum types internally in
the callback functions.

Is nanosecond resolution good enough? In the TI eQEP driver I considered
returning the raw timer value, but quickly realized that it would not be
very nice to expect the user code to know the clock rate of the timer. It
was very easy to get the clock rate in the kernel and just convert the
timer value to nanoseconds before returning it to userspace.

So if there is some specialized case where it can be solved no other way
besides using raw timestamps, then sure, include it. Otherwise I think we
should stick with nanoseconds for time values when possible.

As mentioned in my previous review, I think it would be fine to use a
mutex here instead of disabling interrupts. In fact, I think copy_to_user()
might sleep, in which case we really don't want to call this with
interrupts disabled.

I think "none" would be a better name than "dummy". Then it just

In my experiments, I added a events_validate driver callback here to
validate each event as it is added. This way the user can know exactly
which event caused the problem rather than waiting for the event_config
callback.

Do we need to call the events_config callback here?

It looks like this will skip an event even if just one watch value
has an error. This doesn't seem so great.

Interrupt handlers can't really do anything about the error here.
It could be nice to instead add an error field to the userspace
event struct, then userspace would know when an error occurred
and could do something about it. And it also fixes the one-error-
skips-all problem I mentioned above.

Unless this is needed outside of the drivers/counter/ directory, I
would suggest putting it in drivers/counter/counter-chrdev.h instead
of include/linux/counter.h.

As mentioned in my previous review, I think it would be fine to use a
mutex here instead of disabling interrupts. In fact, I think copy_to_user()
might sleep, in which case we really don't want to call this with
interrupts disabled.

I think "none" would be a better name than "dummy". Then it just
naturally makes sense why we would skip the evaluation.

In my experiments, I added a events_validate driver callback here to
validate each event as it is added. This way the user can know exactly
which event caused the problem rather than waiting for the event_config
callback.

Do we need to call the events_config callback here?

It looks like this will skip an event even if just one watch value
has an error. This doesn't seem so great.

Interrupt handlers can't really do anything about the error here.
It could be nice to instead add an error field to the userspace
event struct, then userspace would know when an error occurred
and could do something about it. And it also fixes the one-error-
skips-all problem I mentioned above.

Unless this is needed outside of the drivers/counter/ directory, I
would suggest putting it in drivers/counter/counter-chrdev.h instead
of include/linux/counter.h.

I'm including David Laight because he initially opposed enums in favor
of fixed size types when we discussed this in an earlier revision:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/5/3/159

However, there have been significant changes to this patchset so the
context now is different than those earlier discussions (i.e. we're no
longer discussing ioctl calls).

I think reimplementing these constants as enums as described could work.
If we do so, should the enum constants be given specific values? For
example:

enum counter_function {
	COUNTER_FUNCTION_INCREASE = 0,
	COUNTER_FUNCTION_DECREASE = 1,
	...
};

Given that the struct counter_event 'timestamp' member serves as the
identification vessel for correlating component values to a single event
(i.e. component values of a given event will share the same unique
timestamp), I believe it's prudent to standardize this timestamp format
on the kernel monotonic time as we have currently done so via our
ktime_get_ns() call.

There are cases where it is understandably better to use a timestamp
provided directly by the hardware (e.g. keeping timestamping close to
data collection). For these cases, we can retrieve these "raw"
timestamps via a Counter Extension: users would get their "raw"
timestamp via the struct counter_event 'value' member, and just treat
the 'timestamp' member as a unique event identification number.

Yes, this is a pretty massive patch. I could break this across the
individual files affected to make it simpler to review, but in the end
all those patches would need to end up squashed together before merge
again (for the sake of git bisect), so the effort feels somewhat moot.

Luckily, I don't think there will be much change in the next revision
since it's looking like it'll mainly be a few bug fixes; hopefully this
coming version 7 will be the final revision before merge.

I noticed that I'm calling counter_chrdev_remove() twice: once in
counter_unregister(), and again in counter_device_release(). I suspect
this is what's causing the refcount to underflow. I'll test and verify
that this is the culprit.

In fact, I don't think I need to define a counter_device_release()
callback at all, would I? These cleanup function calls could be moved to
counter_unregister() instead.

Yes, this is a pretty massive patch. I could break this across the
individual files affected to make it simpler to review, but in the end
all those patches would need to end up squashed together before merge
again (for the sake of git bisect), so the effort feels somewhat moot.

Luckily, I don't think there will be much change in the next revision
since it's looking like it'll mainly be a few bug fixes; hopefully this
coming version 7 will be the final revision before merge.

I would say no on the explicit values since they don't have
any significant meaning.

I would say no on the explicit values since they don't have
any significant meaning.

As long as a user program keeps a chrdev open, it holds a reference to
the device, so I think it needs to be the other way around. (Unless it
is impossible to call counter_unregister() before all references have
been released - but I don't think that is the case - not 100% sure.)

Yes, this is a good idea and I have use for this in the 104-quad-8
driver as well. I'm going to name this "watch_validate" however, because
I need to validate the requested channel as well as the requested event
here (both part of the struct counter_watch).

The "events_list" member of the struct counter_device is a list of
struct counter_event_node. The events_configure() callback should parse
through this list to determine the current events configuration request.
As such, driver authors will need this structure available via
include/linux/counter.h so they can parse "events_list".

Hello William,

the series looks quite interesting, we have some thoughts... see below:

We want to calculate the frequency of some IRQ pulses in user space and
counter values with time stamps really fits well here. As the pulses are
from a physical system (rotating wheel), they will only change at a
certain rate. We want to have the possibility to read from the counter
device less often, we intentionally want to skip (meaning miss)
events.

When reading we're interested in the newest events. The kfifo implements
a "tail" drop FIFO, which means new values are added at the end, and if
the FIFO is full, they are dropped. We need a "head" drop FIFO which
discards the oldest events, keeping only the recent ones.

As far as we know, kfifo doesn't offer a head drop mode, but I think
this can be added.

Do you plan to make the size of the FIFO configurable?

I'm not sure if kfifo has this kind of mode, but it seems like something
that should be there if it is not already -- I imagine this kind of
operation mode would be pretty common. Perhaps someone knows how to
achieve this and will share here.

I suppose it wouldn't be a problem to make this a configurable setting;
I think I can implement this via kfifo_alloc() and kfifo_free(). How
would users control this -- maybe using a sysfs attribute?

I don't think it does.  In IIO we started with a ring (effectively this)
- hopefully no one else remembers the horrible mess I made of it ;),
but eventually decided that there were very few usecases that
actually demanded it so just switched over to kfifo.

It's actually pretty rare that you aren't better off draining to
a backing store of some type.

Not had any demand to bring a ring back to IIO since we dropped it.

Would make sense to do it from sysfs.

I don't think it does.  In IIO we started with a ring (effectively this)
- hopefully no one else remembers the horrible mess I made of it ;),
but eventually decided that there were very few usecases that
actually demanded it so just switched over to kfifo.

It's actually pretty rare that you aren't better off draining to
a backing store of some type.

Not had any demand to bring a ring back to IIO since we dropped it.
