This patchset defines and implements a new version of the
GPIO CDEV uAPI to address existing 32/64-bit alignment issues, add
support for debounce, event sequence numbers, and allow for requested
lines with different configurations.
It provides some future proofing by adding optional configuration fields
and padding reserved for future use.

The series can be partitioned into three blocks; the first two patches
are minor fixes that impact later patches, the next eleven contain the
v2 uAPI definition and implementation, and the final seven port the GPIO
tools to the v2 uAPI and extend them to use new uAPI features.

The more complicated patches include their own commentary where
appropriate.

Cheers,
Kent.

Changes for v6:
 - flags variable in linereq_create() should be u64 not unsigned long
   (patch 07)
 - remove restrictions on configuration changes - any change from one
   valid state to another valid state is allowed. (patches 09, 10, 12)

Changes for v5:

All changes for v5 fix issues with the gpiolib-cdev.c implementation,
in patches 07-12.
The uAPI is unchanged from v4, as is the port of the tools.

 - use IS_ALIGNED in BUILD_BUG_ON checks (patch 07)
 - relocate BUILD_BUG_ON checks to gpiolib_cdev_register (patch 07)
 - s/requies/requires/ (patch 07)
 - use unsigned int for variables that are never negative
 - change lineinfo_get() parameter from cmd to bool watch (patch 08)
 - flagsv2 in gpio_v2_line_info_to_v1() should be u64, not int (patch 08)
 - change "_locked" suffixed function names to "_unlocked" (patch 10 and
   11)
 - be less eager breaking long lines
 - move commentary into checkin comment where appropriate - particularly
   patch 12
 - restructure the request/line split - rename struct line to
   struct linereq, and struct edge_detector to struct line, and relocate
   the desc field from linereq to line.  The linereq name was selected
   over line_request as function names such as linereq_set_values() are
   more clearly associated with requests than line_request_set_values(),
   particularly as there is also a struct line.  And linereq is as
   informative as linerequest, so I went with the shortened form.
   
Changes for v4:
 - bitmap width clarification in gpiod.h (patch 04)
 - fix info offset initialisation bug (patch 08 and inserting patch 01)
 - replace strncpy with strscpy to remove compiler warnings
   (patch 08 and inserting patch 02)
 - fix mask handling in line_get_values (patch 07)

Changes for v3:
 - disabling the character device from the build requires EXPERT
 - uAPI revisions (see patch 02)
 - replace padding_not_zeroed with calls to memchr_inv
 - don't use bitops on 64-bit flags as that doesn't work on BE-32
 - accept first attribute matching a line in gpio_v2_line_config.attrs
   rather than the last
 - rework lsgpio port to uAPI v2 as flags reverted to v1 like layout
   (since patch v2)
 - swapped patches 17 and 18 to apply debounce to multiple monitored
   lines

Changes for v2:
 - split out cleanup patches into a separate series.
 - split implementation patch into a patch for each ioctl or major feature.
 - split tool port patch into a patch per tool.
 - rework uAPI to allow requested lines with different configurations.

Ooops - I wasn't even aware they existed - though it had crossed my mind
that the kernel should have some selftests somewhere - I use the libgpiod
tests, from my libgpiod port, and my own Go based test suite for my testing,
as well as some smoke tests with the tools/gpio.

The libgpiod tests only cover v1 equivalent functionality, while my Go
tests cover the complete uAPI, and both v1 and v2.

It would be good for the kernel to at least have some smoke tests to
confirm basic functionality, even thorough testing is left to a
userspace library.  So the existing tests should be ported to v2, though
should also retain the v1 tests if v1 is still compiled in.

Cheers,
Kent.

I've got a v7 ready to submit that includes a couple of patches for the
gpio-mockup selftests (their primary purpose appears to be testing the
mockup module, rather than the GPIO ABI), but I now notice that the
selftests/gpio section of the tree has a different maintainer:

scripts/get_maintainer.pl 0021-selftests-gpio-port-to-GPIO-uAPI-v2.patch
Bamvor Jian Zhang <bamv2005@gmail.com> (maintainer:GPIO MOCKUP DRIVER)
Shuah Khan <shuah@kernel.org> (maintainer:KERNEL SELFTEST FRAMEWORK)
linux-gpio@vger.kernel.org (open list:GPIO MOCKUP DRIVER)
linux-kselftest@vger.kernel.org (open list:KERNEL SELFTEST FRAMEWORK)
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)

The v7 patch up to that point restores the functions that the selftests
are using so that they build and run again.
So I should hold off on the selftest patches and submit them separately
after the GPIO changes are in?

Cheers,
Kent.

Hi Shuah,

I've been de facto maintaining gpio-mockup for a couple years now.
Bamvor has been quite inactive as far as gpio testing goes. I think
it's fine if you ack the selftests changes.

In fact: I don't want selftests to block getting V2 uAPI upstream so
if that'll look like it's going to take more time then I'm for merging
V2 without any changes to selftests - in the end we have tests in
user-space already.

That is fine. I can do quick review and Ack so you can take them
through gpio tree.

Tests and features go through subsystem trees to avoid delays. Please
make sure the test doesn't break the default kselftest build/run.

In the future it would help if you include all the maintainers on the
patch series, so I can review the tests from the framework angle to
see if they build/run correctly.

To clarify, the patches have been submitted to the correct maintainers.
While this v6, and those before, inadvertently broke the gpio selftests
by removing code they depend on, there have been no code changes in the
selftest tree, and so nothing for you to review.  The v7 of this series
restored the functions that the selftests use so that they again build
and run - still nothing for you to review.

While I had patches for the selftests available for v7, I pulled them
from the patch series as I didn't want to bother you or Bamvor with the
other patches that you wouldn't be interested in.  Further, the gpio
selftests are intended to test the gpio-mockup, as evidenced by Bamvor
being their maintainer and the code itself.  There have been no changes
to the mockup here, and the existing selftests remain valid without being
ported to the latest GPIO uAPI.  Porting them to the latest uAPI, and then
removing the resulting dead code from tools/gpio, is a nice to have that
can wait and shouldn't block getting the uAPI changes in tree.

Cheers,
Kent.
