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); + +The event id is specified by the `event` 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:: + + +------------------------+------------------------+ + | Event 0 | Event 1 | + +------------------------+------------------------+ + | * Count 0 | * Signal 0 | + | * Count 1 | * Signal 0 Extension 0 | + | * Signal 3 | * Extension 4 | + | * Count 4 Extension 2 | | + | * Signal 5 Extension 0 | | + +------------------------+------------------------+ + +When `counter_push_event(counter, 1)` is called for example, it will go +down the list for Event 1 and execute the read callbacks for Signal 0, +Signal 0 Extension 0, and Extension 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.
