License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was chosen based on the license information in the file. GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall exception: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL code, without confusing license compliance tools. Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format is: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE) SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will happen in a separate step. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

gpio: add a userspace chardev ABI for GPIOs A new chardev that is to be used for userspace GPIO access is added in this patch. It is intended to gradually replace the horribly broken sysfs ABI. Using a chardev has many upsides: - All operations are per-gpiochip, which is the actual device underlying the GPIOs, making us tie in to the kernel device model properly. - Hotpluggable GPIO controllers can come and go, as this kind of problem has been know to userspace for character devices since ages, and if a gpiochip handle is held in userspace we know we will break something, whereas the sysfs is stateless. - The one-value-per-file rule of sysfs is really hard to maintain when you want to twist more than one knob at a time, for example have in-kernel APIs to switch several GPIO lines at the same time, and this will be possible to do with a single ioctl() from userspace, saving a lot of context switching. We also need to add a new bus type for GPIO. This is necessary for example for userspace coldplug, where sysfs is traversed to find the boot-time device nodes and create the character devices in /dev. This new chardev ABI is *non* *optional* and can be counted on to be present in the future, emphasizing the preference of this ABI. The ABI only implements one single ioctl() to get the name and number of GPIO lines of a chip. Even this is debatable: see it as a minimal example for review. This ABI shall be ruthlessly reviewed and etched in stone. The old /sys/class/gpio is still optional to compile in, but will be deprecated. Unique device IDs are created using IDR, which is overkill and insanely scalable, but also well tested.

gpio: userspace ABI for reading/writing GPIO lines This adds a userspace ABI for reading and writing GPIO lines. The mechanism returns an anonymous file handle to a request to read/write n offsets from a gpiochip. This file handle in turn accepts two ioctl()s: one that reads and one that writes values to the selected lines. - Handles can be requested as input/output, active low, open drain, open source, however when you issue a request for n lines with GPIO_GET_LINEHANDLE_IOCTL, they must all have the same flags, i.e. all inputs or all outputs, all open drain etc. If a granular control of the flags for each line is desired, they need to be requested individually, not in a batch. - The GPIOHANDLE_GET_LINE_VALUES_IOCTL read ioctl() can be issued also to output lines to verify that the hardware is in the expected state. - It reads and writes up to GPIOHANDLES_MAX lines at once, utilizing the .set_multiple() call in the driver if possible, making the call efficient if several lines can be written with a single register update. The limitation of GPIOHANDLES_MAX to 64 lines is done under the assumption that we may expect hardware that can issue a transaction updating 64 bits at an instant but unlikely anything larger than that. ChangeLog v2->v3: - Use gpiod_get_value_cansleep() so we support also slowpath GPIO drivers. - Fix up the UAPI docs kerneldoc. - Allocate the anonymous fd last, so that the release function don't get called until that point of something fails. After this point, skip the errorpath. ChangeLog v1->v2: - Handle ioctl_compat() properly based on a similar patch to the other ioctl() handling code. - Use _IOWR() as we pass pointers both in and out of the ioctl() - Use kmalloc() and kfree() for the linehandled, do not try to be fancy with devm_* it doesn't work the way I thought. - Fix const-correctness on the linehandle name field.

gpio: userspace ABI for reading GPIO line events This adds an ABI for listening to events on GPIO lines. The mechanism returns an anonymous file handle to a request to listen to a specific offset on a specific gpiochip. To fetch the stream of events from the file handle, userspace simply reads an event. - Events can be requested with the same flags as ordinary handles, i.e. open drain or open source. An ioctl() call GPIO_GET_LINEEVENT_IOCTL is issued indicating the desired line. - Events can be requested for falling edge events, rising edge events, or both. - All events are timestamped using the kernel real time nanosecond timestamp (the same as is used by IIO). - The supplied consumer label will appear in "lsgpio" listings of the lines, and in /proc/interrupts as the mechanism will request an interrupt from the gpio chip. - Events are not supported on gpiochips that do not serve interrupts (no legal .to_irq() call). The event interrupt is threaded to avoid any realtime problems. - It is possible to also directly read the current value of the registered GPIO line by issuing the same GPIOHANDLE_GET_LINE_VALUES_IOCTL as used by the line handles. Setting the value is not supported: we do not listen to events on output lines. This ABI is strongly influenced by Industrial I/O and surpasses the old sysfs ABI by providing proper precision timestamps, making it possible to set flags like open drain, and put consumer names on the GPIO lines.

gpio: add a userspace chardev ABI for GPIOs A new chardev that is to be used for userspace GPIO access is added in this patch. It is intended to gradually replace the horribly broken sysfs ABI. Using a chardev has many upsides: - All operations are per-gpiochip, which is the actual device underlying the GPIOs, making us tie in to the kernel device model properly. - Hotpluggable GPIO controllers can come and go, as this kind of problem has been know to userspace for character devices since ages, and if a gpiochip handle is held in userspace we know we will break something, whereas the sysfs is stateless. - The one-value-per-file rule of sysfs is really hard to maintain when you want to twist more than one knob at a time, for example have in-kernel APIs to switch several GPIO lines at the same time, and this will be possible to do with a single ioctl() from userspace, saving a lot of context switching. We also need to add a new bus type for GPIO. This is necessary for example for userspace coldplug, where sysfs is traversed to find the boot-time device nodes and create the character devices in /dev. This new chardev ABI is *non* *optional* and can be counted on to be present in the future, emphasizing the preference of this ABI. The ABI only implements one single ioctl() to get the name and number of GPIO lines of a chip. Even this is debatable: see it as a minimal example for review. This ABI shall be ruthlessly reviewed and etched in stone. The old /sys/class/gpio is still optional to compile in, but will be deprecated. Unique device IDs are created using IDR, which is overkill and insanely scalable, but also well tested.
