This set of patches adds:

* Block GPIO API to gpiolib
* Sysfs support for GPIO API, to provide userland access
* Device interface for userland access (alternative to sysfs)
* Devicetree support to instantiate GPIO blocks via DT
* Example implementations in several gpio drivers since they need
  special accessor functions for block wise GPIO access
* Fix for race condition in gpiolib on device creation

The recurring task of providing simultaneous access to GPIO lines (especially
for bit banging protocols) needs an appropriate API.

This patch adds a kernel internal "Block GPIO" API that enables simultaneous
access to several GPIOs. This is done by abstracting GPIOs to an n-bit word:
Once requested, it provides access to a group of GPIOs which can range over
multiple GPIO chips.

+Block GPIO
+----------
+
+The above described interface concentrates on handling single GPIOs.  However,
+in applications where it is critical to set several GPIOs at once, this
+interface doesn't work well, e.g. bit-banging protocols via grouped GPIO lines.
+Consider a GPIO controller that is connected via a slow I2C line. When
+switching two or more GPIOs one after another, there can be considerable time
+between those events. This is solved by an interface called Block GPIO:
+
+struct gpio_block *gpio_block_create(unsigned int *gpios, size_t size,
+				     const char *name);
+
+This creates a new block of GPIOs as a list of GPIO numbers with the specified
+size which are accessible via the returned struct gpio_block and the accessor
+functions described below. Please note that you need to request the GPIOs
+separately via gpio_request(). Similarly, the direction of the used GPIOs need
+to be set by the user before using the block. An arbitrary list of globally
+valid GPIOs can be specified, even ranging over several gpio_chips. Actual
+handling of I/O operations will be done on a best effort base, i.e.
+simultaneous I/O only where possible by hardware and implemented in the
+respective GPIO driver. The number of GPIOs in one block is limited to the
+number of bits in an unsigned long, or BITS_PER_LONG, of the respective
+platform, i.e. typically at least 32 on a 32 bit system, and at least 64 on a
+64 bit system. However, several blocks can be defined at once.
+
+unsigned long gpio_block_get(struct gpio_block *block, unsigned long mask);
+void gpio_block_set(struct gpio_block *block, unsigned long mask,
+		    unsigned long values);
+
+With those accessor functions, setting and getting the GPIO values is possible,
+analogous to gpio_get_value() and gpio_set_value(). Each bit in the return
+value of gpio_block_get() and in the value argument of gpio_block_set()
+corresponds to a bit specified on gpio_block_create(). The mask parameters
+specify which bits in the block are acted upon. This is useful to let some bits
+untouched when doing a set operation on the block.
+
+Block operations in hardware are only possible where the respective GPIO driver
+implements it, falling back to using single GPIO operations where the driver
+only implements single GPIO access.
+
+If a GPIO block includes GPIOs from several chips, the chips are handled one
+after another in the order of first specification in the list of GPIOs defined
+in the GPIO block, starting with bit 0. Note that in this case, you typically
+can't assume simultaneous access.
+
+void gpio_block_free(struct gpio_block *block);
+
+After the GPIO block isn't used anymore, it should be free'd via
+gpio_block_free().
+
+int gpio_block_register(struct gpio_block *block);
+void gpio_block_unregister(struct gpio_block *block);
+
+These functions can be used to register a GPIO block. Blocks registered this
+way will be available via userspace API.

+  boolean attribute must be set to "1". Then, the attribute "values" is

+  exclusive use by sysfs.

+What:		/dev/<gpioblock>
+Date:		Nov 2012
+KernelVersion:	3.7
+Contact:	Roland Stigge <stigge@antcom.de>
+Description:	The /dev/<gpioblock> character device node provides userspace
+		access to GPIO blocks, named exactly as the block, e.g.
+		/dev/block0.
+
+		Reading:
+		When reading sizeof(unsigned long) bytes from the device, the
+		current state of the block, masked by the current mask (see
+		below) can be obtained as a word. When the device is opened
+		with O_NONBLOCK, read() always returns with data immediately,
+		otherwise it blocks until data is available, see IRQ handling
+		below.
+
+		Writing:
+		By writing sizeof(unsigned long) bytes to the device, the
+		current state of the block can be set. This operation is
+		masked by the current mask (see below).
+
+		IRQ handling:
+		When one or more IRQs in the block are IRQ capable, you can
+		poll() on the device to check/wait for this IRQ. If no IRQ
+		is available, poll() returns -ENOSYS and userspace needs to
+		(busy) poll itself if necessary.
+
+		Setting the mask (default: all bits set):
+		By doing an ioctl(fd, 0, &mask) with an unsigned long mask, the
+		current mask for read and write operations on this gpio block
+		can be set.
+
+		See also Documentation/gpio.txt for an explanation of block
+		GPIO.

There is a race condition between creating a gpio or gpiochip device and adding
default attributes. This patch fixes this by defining the default attributes as
dev_attrs of the class. For this, it was necessary to create a separate
gpiochip_class besides gpio_class.

+Block GPIO definition
+=====================
+
+This binding specifies arbitrary blocks of gpios, combining gpios from one or
+more GPIO controllers together, to form a word for r/w access.
+
+Required property:
+- compatible: must be "linux,gpio-block"
+
+Required subnodes:
+- the name will be the registered name of the block
+- property "gpios" is a list of gpios for the respective block
+
+Example:
+
+        blockgpio {
+                compatible = "linux,gpio-block";
+
+                block0 {
+                        gpios = <&gpio 3 0 0>,
+                                <&gpio 3 1 0>;
+                };
+                block1 {
+                        gpios = <&gpio 4 1 0>,
+                                <&gpio 4 3 0>,

Currently we can set different permissions on different GPIO lines. Your
driver change drives a truck through this facility.

I'm not sure there is an elegant way to snoop on the permissions set
on the sysfs gpio nodes and the driver also breaks managing GPIO rights
via smack/selinux/apparmor and assigning specific gpio lines to specific
pieces of user space code.

Right. It's difficult to synchronize sysfs and dev node permissions from
the kernel. But since those permissions are set up and maintained from
userspace, maybe we can leave it to the respective facilities there?

Regarding different permissions of individual GPIOs that could end up in
a single GPIO block: You can group GPIOs into separate blocks that are
supposed to group with the same permissions. Especially, you don't need
to put all GPIOs of one gpio_chip into one block.

And finally, you are not forced to use such blocks. Use it optionally
where you group GPIOs into one bus or n-bit interface. E.g., you
typically won't give different permissions to the different lines on an
SD card interface.

Anyway - suggestions (and specific requests for necessary features of
the device interface) welcome!

Thanks in advance,

Roland

What I maybe misread in your concern: The dev interface is actually an
"alternative to sysfs for block GPIO", not considered as a replacement
for the current sysfs interface for _single_ GPIOs.

The fate of the latter one can be discussed separately.

Also, the sysfs interface for block GPIO can be left out of my patch
series, if necessary.

That is the problem. If you add the driver then you can no longer
implement the same permissions per node. If I've got a typical hardened
embedded device running something like SMACK I can tie a few gpio lines
to specific tasks in the security model.

The moment there is another driver anyone who can open that driver can
bypass all the security rules being imposed.

The basic problem is that right now our mapping is

"gpio line is a file system object"

you change it to

"all gpio lines are a single file system object"

Thats a bit like moving from "each document has permissions" to "allo my
documents have one permission set between them"

That makes it a very big step backwards and a fundamental change to the
entire auth model. It's not too horrendous in the case that the block
GPIO interface is the least restrictive case, but its very bad the
other way around.

The problem isn't the block API, the problem is changing the entire file
system level view of what a GPIO is and how it is access controlled.

No - maybe that's still not documented well enough: Upon defining a GPIO
block, you can specify each individual GPIO that's contained therein.
Define as many (disjoint) blocks as you want with as many permission
sets as you want, right away.

In the extreme case, define blocks with only a single GPIO in each of
them, and the interface should still be faster than the sysfs one. Each
block is a separate device node with separate permissions.

Further, block GPIOs only need to be present on systems where firmware
tells via DT (or the kernel itself in setup code) explicitely which
GPIOs should be in a certain block to be accessed efficiently.

Sysfs can still work as expected, at least for the remaining GPIOs.

So I don't see a contradiction here, considering that you can still
organize permissions for the (optional) GPIO block, as you do currently
via sysfs.

You can also compare sysfs and block GPIO interfaces to block devices
where you create file systems on top. Userspace can access both, but
it's not very useful to access the underlying block device at the same
time when it's also mounted as an fs. The good thing about the sysfs and
block GPIO case is that you can use both at the same time: Consider a
single controller/gpio_chip containing 32 lines. You can define a GPIO
block of 16 of them for use as an efficient 16 bit bus, and use the rest
via single GPIO sysfs as you described.

Thanks for considering,

Roland

Ok, so it degenerates to the same case if needed. It's not ideal but I
have no suggestions how to improve it!
