[PATCH v9 00/11] Introduce the Counter subsystem

[PATCH v9 00/11] Introduce the Counter subsystem

[William Breathitt Gray]

Changes in v9:
 - Prefix exported symbols with "counter_" to make counter namespace
   explicit and clear
 - Replace scnprintf and snprintf lines with sprintf in 104-quad-8.c
   since we're dealing with sysfs files

This revision is functionally identical to the last; changes in this
version were made to improve code clarity. Andrew Morton suggested
improving the names of the exported symbols to clean up the Counter
subsytem namespace. This revision adds a "counter_" prefix to the
exported symbols to keep the namespace tidy and these symbols as
clearly part of the Counter subsystem.

Andrew Morton also brought up a good point that the Generic Counter
"signal" terminology could conflict with the existing established use of
the term in other areas of the Linux kernel. I've changed the major
exported symbols in counter.h that used the "signal_" naming covention
to now use a "counter_signal_" naming convention in order to help
prevent this confusion; I've made similar changes to symbols in
counter.c as well. If this naming still causes trouble, we can consider
alternative names for this component.

[PATCH v9 01/11] counter: Introduce the Generic Counter interface

[William Breathitt Gray]

This patch introduces the Generic Counter interface for supporting
counter devices.

In the context of the Generic Counter interface, a counter is defined as
a device that reports one or more "counts" based on the state changes of
one or more "signals" as evaluated by a defined "count function."

Driver callbacks should be provided to communicate with the device: to
read and write various Signals and Counts, and to set and get the
"action mode" and "count function" for various Synapses and Counts
respectively.

To support a counter device, a driver must first allocate the available
Counter Signals via counter_signal structures. These Signals should
be stored as an array and set to the signals array member of an
allocated counter_device structure before the Counter is registered to
the system.

Counter Counts may be allocated via counter_count structures, and
respective Counter Signal associations (Synapses) made via
counter_synapse structures. Associated counter_synapse structures are
stored as an array and set to the the synapses array member of the
respective counter_count structure. These counter_count structures are
set to the counts array member of an allocated counter_device structure
before the Counter is registered to the system.

A counter device is registered to the system by passing the respective
initialized counter_device structure to the counter_register function;
similarly, the counter_unregister function unregisters the respective
Counter. The devm_counter_register and devm_counter_unregister functions
serve as device memory-managed versions of the counter_register and
counter_unregister functions respectively.

+=========================
+Generic Counter Interface
+=========================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Counter devices are prevalent within a diverse spectrum of industries.
+The ubiquitous presence of these devices necessitates a common interface
+and standard of interaction and exposure. This driver API attempts to
+resolve the issue of duplicate code found among existing counter device
+drivers by introducing a generic counter interface for consumption. The
+Generic Counter interface enables drivers to support and expose a common
+set of components and functionality present in counter devices.
+
+Theory
+======
+
+Counter devices can vary greatly in design, but regardless of whether
+some devices are quadrature encoder counters or tally counters, all
+counter devices consist of a core set of components. This core set of
+components, shared by all counter devices, is what forms the essence of
+the Generic Counter interface.
+
+There are three core components to a counter:
+
+* Count:
+  Count data for a set of Signals.
+
+* Signal:
+  Input data that is evaluated by the counter to determine the count
+  data.
+
+* Synapse:
+  The association of a Signal with a respective Count.
+
+COUNT
+-----
+A Count represents the count data for a set of Signals. The Generic
+Counter interface provides the following available count data types:
+
+* COUNT_POSITION:
+  Unsigned integer value representing position.
+
+A Count has a count function mode which represents the update behavior
+for the count data. The Generic Counter interface provides the following
+available count function modes:
+
+* Increase:
+  Accumulated count is incremented.
+
+* Decrease:
+  Accumulated count is decremented.
+
+* Pulse-Direction:
+  Rising edges on signal A updates the respective count. The input level
+  of signal B determines direction.
+
+* Quadrature:
+  A pair of quadrature encoding signals are evaluated to determine
+  position and direction. The following Quadrature modes are available:
+
+  - x1 A:
+    If direction is forward, rising edges on quadrature pair signal A
+    updates the respective count; if the direction is backward, falling
+    edges on quadrature pair signal A updates the respective count.
+    Quadrature encoding determines the direction.
+
+  - x1 B:
+    If direction is forward, rising edges on quadrature pair signal B
+    updates the respective count; if the direction is backward, falling
+    edges on quadrature pair signal B updates the respective count.
+    Quadrature encoding determines the direction.
+
+  - x2 A:
+    Any state transition on quadrature pair signal A updates the
+    respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the direction.
+
+  - x2 B:
+    Any state transition on quadrature pair signal B updates the
+    respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the direction.
+
+  - x4:
+    Any state transition on either quadrature pair signals updates the
+    respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the direction.
+
+A Count has a set of one or more associated Signals.
+
+SIGNAL
+------
+A Signal represents a counter input data; this is the input data that is
+evaluated by the counter to determine the count data; e.g. a quadrature
+signal output line of a rotary encoder. Not all counter devices provide
+user access to the Signal data.
+
+The Generic Counter interface provides the following available signal
+data types for when the Signal data is available for user access:
+
+* SIGNAL_LEVEL:
+  Signal line state level. The following states are possible:
+
+  - SIGNAL_LEVEL_LOW:
+    Signal line is in a low state.
+
+  - SIGNAL_LEVEL_HIGH:
+    Signal line is in a high state.
+
+A Signal may be associated with one or more Counts.
+
+SYNAPSE
+-------
+A Synapse represents the association of a Signal with a respective
+Count. Signal data affects respective Count data, and the Synapse
+represents this relationship.
+
+The Synapse action mode specifies the Signal data condition which
+triggers the respective Count's count function evaluation to update the
+count data. The Generic Counter interface provides the following
+available action modes:
+
+* None:
+  Signal does not trigger the count function. In Pulse-Direction count
+  function mode, this Signal is evaluated as Direction.
+
+* Rising Edge:
+  Low state transitions to high state.
+
+* Falling Edge:
+  High state transitions to low state.
+
+* Both Edges:
+  Any state transition.
+
+A counter is defined as a set of input signals associated with count
+data that are generated by the evaluation of the state of the associated
+input signals as defined by the respective count functions. Within the
+context of the Generic Counter interface, a counter consists of Counts
+each associated with a set of Signals, whose respective Synapse
+instances represent the count function update conditions for the
+associated Counts.
+
+Paradigm
+========
+
+The most basic counter device may be expressed as a single Count
+associated with a single Signal via a single Synapse. Take for example
+a counter device which simply accumulates a count of rising edges on a
+source input line::
+
+                Count                Synapse        Signal
+                -----                -------        ------
+        +---------------------+
+        | Data: Count         |    Rising Edge     ________
+        | Function: Increase  |  <-------------   / Source \
+        |                     |                  ____________
+        +---------------------+
+
+In this example, the Signal is a source input line with a pulsing
+voltage, while the Count is a persistent count value which is repeatedly
+incremented. The Signal is associated with the respective Count via a
+Synapse. The increase function is triggered by the Signal data condition
+specified by the Synapse -- in this case a rising edge condition on the
+voltage input line. In summary, the counter device existence and
+behavior is aptly represented by respective Count, Signal, and Synapse
+components: a rising edge condition triggers an increase function on an
+accumulating count datum.
+
+A counter device is not limited to a single Signal; in fact, in theory
+many Signals may be associated with even a single Count. For example, a
+quadrature encoder counter device can keep track of position based on
+the states of two input lines::
+
+                   Count                 Synapse     Signal
+                   -----                 -------     ------
+        +-------------------------+
+        | Data: Position          |    Both Edges     ___
+        | Function: Quadrature x4 |  <------------   / A \
+        |                         |                 _______
+        |                         |
+        |                         |    Both Edges     ___
+        |                         |  <------------   / B \
+        |                         |                 _______
+        +-------------------------+
+
+In this example, two Signals (quadrature encoder lines A and B) are
+associated with a single Count: a rising or falling edge on either A or
+B triggers the "Quadrature x4" function which determines the direction
+of movement and updates the respective position data. The "Quadrature
+x4" function is likely implemented in the hardware of the quadrature
+encoder counter device; the Count, Signals, and Synapses simply
+represent this hardware behavior and functionality.
+
+Signals associated with the same Count can have differing Synapse action
+mode conditions. For example, a quadrature encoder counter device
+operating in a non-quadrature Pulse-Direction mode could have one input
+line dedicated for movement and a second input line dedicated for
+direction::
+
+                   Count                   Synapse      Signal
+                   -----                   -------      ------
+        +---------------------------+
+        | Data: Position            |    Rising Edge     ___
+        | Function: Pulse-Direction |  <-------------   / A \ (Movement)
+        |                           |                  _______
+        |                           |
+        |                           |       None         ___
+        |                           |  <-------------   / B \ (Direction)
+        |                           |                  _______
+        +---------------------------+
+
+Only Signal A triggers the "Pulse-Direction" update function, but the
+instantaneous state of Signal B is still required in order to know the
+direction so that the position data may be properly updated. Ultimately,
+both Signals are associated with the same Count via two respective
+Synapses, but only one Synapse has an active action mode condition which
+triggers the respective count function while the other is left with a
+"None" condition action mode to indicate its respective Signal's
+availability for state evaluation despite its non-triggering mode.
+
+Keep in mind that the Signal, Synapse, and Count are abstract
+representations which do not need to be closely married to their
+respective physical sources. This allows the user of a counter to
+divorce themselves from the nuances of physical components (such as
+whether an input line is differential or single-ended) and instead focus
+on the core idea of what the data and process represent (e.g. position
+as interpreted from quadrature encoding data).
+
+Userspace Interface
+===================
+
+Several sysfs attributes are generated by the Generic Counter interface,
+and reside under the /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX directory, where
+counterX refers to the respective counter device. Please see
+Documentation/ABI/testing/sys-bus-counter-generic-sysfs 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.
+
+Driver API
+==========
+
+Driver authors may utilize the Generic Counter interface in their code
+by including the include/linux/counter.h header file. This header file
+provides several core data structures, function prototypes, and macros
+for defining a counter device.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/counter.h
+   :internal:
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/counter/generic-counter.c
+   :export:
+
+Implementation
+==============
+
+To support a counter device, a driver must first allocate the available
+Counter Signals via counter_signal structures. These Signals should
+be stored as an array and set to the signals array member of an
+allocated counter_device structure before the Counter is registered to
+the system.
+
+Counter Counts may be allocated via counter_count structures, and
+respective Counter Signal associations (Synapses) made via
+counter_synapse structures. Associated counter_synapse structures are
+stored as an array and set to the the synapses array member of the
+respective counter_count structure. These counter_count structures are
+set to the counts array member of an allocated counter_device structure
+before the Counter is registered to the system.
+
+Driver callbacks should be provided to the counter_device structure via
+a constant counter_ops structure in order to communicate with the
+device: to read and write various Signals and Counts, and to set and get
+the "action mode" and "function mode" for various Synapses and Counts
+respectively.
+
+A defined counter_device structure may be registered to the system by
+passing it to the counter_register function, and unregistered by passing
+it to the counter_unregister function. Similarly, the
+devm_counter_register and devm_counter_unregister functions may be used
+if device memory-managed registration is desired.
+
+Extension sysfs attributes can be created for auxiliary functionality
+and data by passing in defined counter_device_ext, counter_count_ext,
+and counter_signal_ext structures. In these cases, the
+counter_device_ext structure is used for global configuration of the
+respective Counter device, while the counter_count_ext and
+counter_signal_ext structures allow for auxiliary exposure and
+configuration of a specific Count or Signal respectively.
+
+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/sys-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.

[PATCH v9 05/11] counter: 104-quad-8: Add Generic Counter interface support

[William Breathitt Gray]

This patch adds support for the Generic Counter interface to the
104-QUAD-8 driver. The existing 104-QUAD-8 device interface should not
be affected by this patch; all changes are intended as supplemental
additions as perceived by the user.

Generic Counter Counts are created for the eight quadrature channel
counts, as well as their respective quadrature A and B Signals (which
are associated via respective Synapse structures) and respective index
Signals.

The new Generic Counter interface sysfs attributes are intended to
expose the same functionality and data available via the existing
104-QUAD-8 IIO device interface; the Generic Counter interface serves
to provide the respective functionality and data in a standard way
expected of counter devices.

[PATCH v9 07/11] counter: Add STM32 Timer quadrature encoder

[William Breathitt Gray]

From: Benjamin Gaignard <benjamin.gaignard@st.com>

Implement counter part of the STM32 timer hardware block by using
counter API. Hardware only supports X2 and X4 quadrature modes. A
ceiling value can be set to define the maximum value reachable by the
counter.

Hi Greg,

It's been some time now since this patchset was submitted so I want to
check up and see if I should try to merge it in through IIO or some
other subsystem, or wait for now for additional reviews.

Sincerely,

William Breathitt Gray
