[PATCH v12 00/17] Introduce the Counter character device interface

[PATCH v12 00/17] Introduce the Counter character device interface

[William Breathitt Gray]

Changes in v12:
 - Move unlock to after register set in quad8_count_ceiling_write()
 - Add locking protection to counter_set_event_node()
 - Fix sparse warning by using {} instead of {0}
 - Clean up and organize comments for clarity
 - Reduce boilerplate by utilizing devm_add_action_or_reset()
 - Use switch statements in ti_eqep_action_read() to make possible cases
   more obvious

I pulled out a lot of bits and pieces to their own patches; hopefully
that makes reviewing this patchset much simpler than before. This
patchset is also available on my personal git repo for convenience:
https://gitlab.com/vilhelmgray/iio/-/tree/counter_chrdev_v12

The patches preceding "counter: Internalize sysfs interface code" are
primarily cleanup and fixes that can be picked up and applied now to the
IIO tree if so desired. The "counter: Internalize sysfs interface code"
patch as well may be considered for pickup because it is relatively safe
and makes no changes to the userspace interface.

To summarize the main points of this patchset: there are no changes to
the existing Counter sysfs userspace interface; a Counter character
device interface is introduced that allows Counter events and associated
data to be read() by userspace; the events_configure() and
watch_validate() driver callbacks are introduced to support Counter
events; and IRQ support is added to the 104-QUAD-8 driver, serving as an
example of how to support the new Counter events functionality.

Something that should still be discussed: should the struct
counter_event "status" member be 8 bits or 32 bits wide? This member
will provide the return status (system error number) of an event
operation.

[PATCH v12 01/17] counter: 104-quad-8: Return error when invalid mode during ceiling_write

[William Breathitt Gray]

The 104-QUAD-8 only has two count modes where a ceiling value makes
sense: Range Limit and Modulo-N. Outside of these two modes, setting a
ceiling value is an invalid operation -- so let's report it as such by
returning -EINVAL.

[PATCH v12 02/17] counter: Return error code on invalid modes

[William Breathitt Gray]

Only a select set of modes (function, action, etc.) are valid for a
given device configuration. This patch ensures that invalid modes result
in a return -EINVAL. Such a situation should never occur in reality, but
it's good to define a default switch cases for the sake of making the
intent of the code clear.

[PATCH v12 05/17] counter: Rename counter_count_function to counter_function

[William Breathitt Gray]

The phrase "Counter Count function" is verbose and unintentionally
implies that function is a Count extension. This patch adjusts the
Counter subsystem code to use the more direct "Counter function" phrase
to make the intent of this code clearer.

[PATCH v12 06/17] counter: Internalize sysfs interface code

[William Breathitt Gray]

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.

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 and the
device drivers. 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.

Note, 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.

Hi William,

There is some type confusion going on in the stm32_lptim driver that should
be cleaned up.

A few other minor things but basically looks good to me so I probably won't
look through this one again for v13 unless some discussion starts!

One to note is that Andy just moved the kstrtoxx definitions to a new header,
so we should include that where they are used going forwards.  Can do that
as a cleanup later though given you probably don't want to rebase this on
a mid merge window state.

Jonathan

You have some drivers that do this internally then you replicate it here?
An example is cable_fault in the quad 8.  That is not necessarily a
problem, but perhaps a comment to say this one should be paranoia and
expectation is drivers will deliver 0 or 1.

As below, group is a confusing name, so I'd prefix it with something.

Naming is a bit too similar to 'group' to lead to nice readable code.  Maybe
cattr_groups or something like that?  groups and dev->groups not being the same
thing is definitely confusing!

Slight nitpick, is I'd have been tempted to reduce the number of allocations
by doing this as a single array allocation then use the groups within this
loop.  Really trivial though!

This bothers me a little. Why are you casting from enum counter_function to enum stm32_lptim_cnt_function?
That function is indeed putting an enum stm32_lptim_cnt_function into function and it really shouldn't
be.  Whilst the values of the enums are the same, it would be better to have explicit item by
item conversion if that's necessary.  I 'think' you can just get rid of the
enum stm32_lptim_cnt_function though and use the counter one throughout the driver.

If you want to keep changes minimal, put a conversion function in place.

[PATCH v12 07/17] counter: Update counter.h comments to reflect sysfs internalization

[William Breathitt Gray]

The Counter subsystem architecture and driver implementations have
changed in order to handle Counter sysfs interactions in a more
consistent way. This patch updates the Generic Counter interface
header file comments to reflect the changes.

Are these no longer optional? If they really are optional, it would be nice to

I'd expect drivers to have at least the count_read() and function_read()
callbacks defined and set; otherwise such a counter driver would be
rather useless to a user. I'll update the documentation here to make it
clear the other callbacks are optional.

I decided to remove the "as it appears in the datasheet" phrase because
there may be cases where the datasheet name isn't the best name to
provide for the counter device. For example, with the 104-quad-8 driver
there is ambiguity about whether it's more useful for the name to be
"104-QUAD-8" to match the PC104 card, or "LS7266R1" to match the counter
chip integrated on the 104-QUAD-8 card. Another example would be the
recent interrupt-cnt driver which isn't for a particular device (it
counts any interrupt source) so thus does not have a corresponding
datasheet. I figure it's best to leave it up to the driver maintainer to
choose an apt name that will make sense for the users.

[PATCH v12 08/17] docs: counter: Update to reflect sysfs internalization

[William Breathitt Gray]

The Counter subsystem architecture and driver implementations have
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.

+
+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::

-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

-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:

-
-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

-structures that are passed in.

+======================
+
+Counter drivers pass and take data natively (i.e. ``u8``, ``u64``, etc.)

+counter drivers, and enables a Generic Counter chrdev interface via a
+generalized device driver ABI.

+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.

[PATCH v12 10/17] counter: Add character device interface

[William Breathitt Gray]

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.

Since this is just the next watch list and doesn't involve
enabled events, we should be able to use a mutex here instead
of disabling interrupts. This is a rather length operation
to have interrupts disabled when we don't really need to.

Do we need to hold a lock on counter->next_events_list here?

The mutex I suggested for next_events_list should probably be held
across the call to watch_validate() and counter_set_event_node().
Otherwise a new item could be added in between the time it was
validated and when it was added making it no longer valid.

Probably not likely to ever happen, but theoretially possible.

Could be nice to pull this out into a counter_enable_events() function
to balance counter_disable_events().

It looks like we set all of the fields so we shouldn't need to initialize here.

wake_up_poll() can probably be called after the lock is released.

It could be a bit nicer to have a separate complete example of
populating the struct instead of partial examples in the field
descripions.

Would it make more sense to call this parent_id instead?

Should we document the descriptions of each member here?

Is this overflow _and_ underflow or overflow _or_ underflow

Maybe better?

Should this say "component" instead of "device"?

Not sure if this is a _good_ idea, but if status is a signed int, then
it could have negative error codes and positive values could be used
for event-specific non-error status. I can't think of any practical use
though. And forcing it to only be errno codes (0 - 255) probably encourages
better drivers anyway.

There is a lot of discussion going on buried in a rust on linux thread
around the use of devm when chardevs are involved.  I'd kind of forgotten
that Lars-Peter Clausen did a lot of work to make IIO safe to these races
some time ago.  One of those elements was to make we dropped out quickly
from read functions if we were on the way 'down'.  Could you make sure to
run some tests to ensure we are safe with driver unbinds when the cdev is
still open?  Another part of that was to ensure a blocking read unblocks
when the device goes away (with an error of course!)  Some of this stuff
isn't 'necessary' for correctness, but it is desirable for device removal
to occur in finite time.

https://lore.kernel.org/ksummit/CANiq72nkNrekzbxMci6vW02w=Q2L-SVTk_U4KN_LT8u_b=YPgw@mail.gmail.com/T/#m6db86a574237c22a32ecf49b596b3c2917967c5e

Note I want to take another look at the IIO code around this as well
just in case we missed anything that has come up in that discussion.
I think we are fine but maybe can move to more 'standard' code patterns
if those get formalised. 

Anyhow, it's fiddly stuff, so make sure to test those cases.

Thank you for the heads-up. It'll be a shame if all the simplification
we got by using devm_* for counter-sysfs.c has to be undone, but I'll
investigate this first and see if we're all right as we are now; I also
suspect we are fine given how many times we've already tested these
patchset revisions, but I'll run some deliberate tests for these
particular cases just to be sure.

We're "safe" in the sense that there are locks protecting data access
(no risk of dereferencing a NUll pointer, etc.), so I don't expect any
crashes if there are multiple opens to the chrdev. However, I coded this
with the expectation of a single open, so in such as scenario where we
have multiple opens I suspect some data would be not appear, or maybe
only appear partially, because the kfifo data is cleared when read.

In patch 15 I deliberately restrict the chrdev to a single open via
counter->chrdev_lock in order to support the events_queue_size sysfs
attribute. I could move it to this patch, but it may not be necessary
when both patches will likely be picked up together and we have no
critical issues with opening twice here.

 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

+
+Through these sysfs attributes, programs and scripts may interact with
+the Generic Counter paradigm Counts, Signals, and Synapses of respective

+
+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::
+
+        void 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    |

+
+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_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL:
+  Queues a Counter watch for the specified event. The queued watches
+  will not be applied until ``COUNTER_ENABLE_EVENTS_IOCTL`` is called.
+
+* COUNTER_ENABLE_EVENTS_IOCTL:
+  Enables monitoring the events specified by the Counter watches that
+  were queued by ``COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL``. If events are already
+  enabled, the new set of watches replaces the old one. Calling this
+  ioctl also has the effect of clearing the queue of watches added by
+  ``COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL``.
+
+* COUNTER_DISABLE_EVENTS_IOCTL:
+  Stops monitoring the previously enabled events.
+
+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_NONE``. With this configuration the Counter
+character device 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_ENABLE_EVENTS_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.

I wouldn't mind seeing more of this documentation in the actual header
file and just referenced here with :c:macro:`COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL`

To make sure I am understanding this correctly, scope + parent
determines this part of the path:

	/sys/.../counterX/<scope><parent>/<component>

Or in the case that scope == COUNTER_SCOPE_DEVICE then parent
is not applicable:

	/sys/.../counterX/<component>

I suggested parent_id instead of parent earlier, but maybe
scope_id would be a better name? (Or rename scope to parent_type?)

Yes, that understanding is correct.

I can see the benefit of more specific naming, but perhaps the current
names are clear enough when they appear in the context of user code. It
becomes rather obvious in a snippet of code that `component.scope`
refers to the scope type of a component while `component.parent` refers
to the specific parent of the component; I don't think the more verbose
`scope_type`/`parent_type` or `scope_id`/`parent_id` namings really add
much benefit here.

I'm not entirely opposed to renaming this, so if other maintainers also
feel this is better renamed then I'll change it. If we do change the
naming, then remaing `scope` to `scope_type` and `parent` to `parent_id`
might be the way to go; "scope_id" seems strange to me because I
envision `scope` as a type rather than an identifiable component.

errno is no longer valid after calling perror(). Since this
is example code, we can just return 1 instead (exit codes
positive number between 0 and 255 so -1 would be 255).

Aren't the Count 0 and Count 1 events independent? Why should we expect to
always get both events at the same time in the same order?

Watch 0 and Watch 1 are both triggered by the same event: a
COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX event on device event channel 0. If we had set
channel to 1 for Watch 1, then we would have two independent events, but
in this case both Watches have their respective channel set to 0.

To make the sequence of events clearer, here's a timeline:

* The user configures the watch list via COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL.

* The watch list consists of Watch 0 and Watch 1. Watch 0 is configured
  to report the Count 0 count, while Watch 1 is configured to report the
  Count 1 count. Both watches are configured to trigger on the same
  event (COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX on device event channel 0).

* The user enables Counter events via COUNTER_ENABLE_EVENTS_IOCTL.

* The user calls read() from userspace and blocks until data is
  available in the Counter events list kfifo; this corresponds to
  wait_event_interruptible() in counter_chrdev_read().

* A COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX event occurs on device event channel 0.

* All Watches in the watch list that are waiting for COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX
  on device event channel 0 will now trigger; both Watch 0 and Watch 1
  will trigger, one after the other.

* A read operation is performed for the Count 0 count component; the
  data is pushed to the Counter event list.

* A read operation is performed for the Count 1 count component; the
  data is pushed to the Counter event list.

* Counter subsystem notifies that data is available in the Counter
  events list kfifo; this corresponds to the wake_up_poll() in
  counter_push_event().

* The userspace read() call returns the Counter event list data.

So in the counter_example.c reference code, we will always get both
event data elements returned to the user at the same time (with the
exception of errors which break early).

The thing that jumped out to me is that they have different parents.
But I guess I forgot that the event itself always has a scope of
device and that the component just says what value to record and
is otherwise independent of the event.

I think there should be no need to cast this one.  __aligned_u64 is always
going to be of type llu anyway.

[PATCH v12 13/17] counter: Implement signalZ_action_component_id sysfs attribute

[William Breathitt Gray]

The Generic Counter chrdev interface expects users to supply component
IDs in order to select Synapses for requests. In order for users to know
what component ID belongs to which Synapse this information must be
exposed. The signalZ_action_component_id attribute provides a way for
users to discover what component ID belongs to the respective Synapse.

I like this better than having to scrape the number from the
attribute name.

nit: Comments like this are redundant and can be omitted. All 3 words
in the comment are literally (abbreviated) in the next line of code so
it doesn't add any new/useful information.

[PATCH v12 14/17] counter: Implement *_component_id sysfs attributes

[William Breathitt Gray]

The Generic Counter chrdev interface expects users to supply component
IDs in order to select extensions for requests. In order for users to
know what component ID belongs to which extension this information must
be exposed. The *_component_id attribute provides a way for users to
discover what component ID belongs to which respective extension.

Not nice for grepping so I think it's better to call them out explicitly.

There has been a proposal to check this ABI doc against running kernels, and if we have
too many wild cards that becomes very difficult to do.

Makes sense. Do we start a new group of similar names with the same
description for each kernel release that includes new attributes then?

You've spotted one of the short comings of current format.  The scripts that
produce the html docs don't cope with multiple version numbers.

Mostly for IIO we've just been cynical and not had the correct kernel version for
new ABI when it's added. It's not ideal though.

The alternative, as you mention is to have a new block.  Perhaps we can have
that refer back to the existing one if the docs cover the new entries as well.

@Mauro:  Any suggestions for this?

Thanks

Jonathan

[PATCH v12 15/17] counter: Implement events_queue_size sysfs attribute

[William Breathitt Gray]

The events_queue_size sysfs attribute provides a way for users to
dynamically configure the Counter events queue size for the Counter
character device interface. The size is in number of struct
counter_event data structures. The number of elements will be rounded-up
to a power of 2 due to a requirement of the kfifo_alloc function called
during reallocation of the queue.

I got two separate mutex warnings from counter_chrdev_open() by doing 
blind "cat /dev/counter0". First one due mutex being uninitialized:

which I fixed trivially by (please be free to use it)

I'm not sure how to resolve this warning. The purpose of this lock is to
limit chrdev to a single open at a time. To accomplish this I grab this
lock in counter_chrdev_open() and hold it until counter_chrdev_release()
is called. Is there a better way to accomplish this?

How about using an atomic flag, e.g test_and_set_bit()?

Another option could be to rethink it at a higher level and avoid the
need for a lock (and sysfs attribute) altogether. For example, would it
work to (re)allocate the kfifo buffer in the COUNTER_ENABLE_EVENTS_IOCTL
callback and add a parameter to that ioctl to specify the buffer size
(with units of events rather than bytes)?

Thinking about it a bit more, this probably isn't a good suggestion.
It would create issues with being able to start reading from the chrdev
before enabling events.

Yes, I think this might work: atomically test and set the bit to lock
and atomically clear it to unlock. I'll replace the mutex with an atomic
flag.

By the way, what is the difference between test_and_set_bit() and
test_and_set_bit_lock()?

[PATCH v12 16/17] counter: 104-quad-8: Replace mutex with spinlock

[William Breathitt Gray]

This patch replaces the mutex I/O lock with a spinlock. This is in
preparation for a subsequent patch adding IRQ support for 104-QUAD-8
devices; we can't sleep in an interrupt context, so we'll need to use a
spinlock instead.

[PATCH v12 17/17] counter: 104-quad-8: Add IRQ support for the ACCES 104-QUAD-8

[William Breathitt Gray]

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.

These four functions correspond respectivefly to the following four
Counter event types: COUNTER_EVENT_OVERFLOW, COUNTER_EVENT_THRESHOLD,
COUNTER_EVENT_OVERFLOW_UNDERFLOW, and COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX. 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.

Nicer to define masks and use FIELD_PREP etc for these rather than hiding shifts
down here in the code.

I agree with the change because it'll make the code for the 104-QUAD-8
driver much clearer to read, but I'd prefer to postpone it until after
this patchset is merged so that we don't introduce too many new changes
now that we've got this pretty stable.

Syed, would you take a look at this and see if we can use the FIELD_PREP
macro to simplify all the shifting we're doing in the 104-quad-8 driver?

Thanks,

I quickly tested this set on top of linux-next next-20210706 and didn't 
see any issue with intel-qep.c. However I noticed two mutex issues in 
patch 15/17. Perhaps visible due the CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y etc. I have on.

I'll be out of office next few weeks so cannot test if you have a new 
version meanwhile but wanted to share no show stopper from intel-qep.c 
and those two mutex warnings.

Thanks, these seem pretty straightforward to fix so I'll wait a week or
so to see if any other issues pop up before making a v13 submission.

Hi william,

I've looked through the lot and where I haven't commented, I had nothing
much to add to David's comments.

I'm not planning to go through the whole thing again unless major changes
occur. Fingers crossed for v13.

If it looks like there are still some unresolved issues after that, perhaps
applying up to patch 8 or so makes sense to reduced the volume of code you
are carrying.  Let me know if you'd like me to do that.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Yes, much of the code has remained stable for some months now so I think
we're pretty close. If we do need a v14, then applying up to patch 8
would help me a lot (most of the merge conflicts I encounter when I
rebase are due to the large subsystem refactor in patch 06).
