+
+========
+OVERVIEW
+========
+
+This associative array implementation is an object container with the following
+properties:
+
+ (1) Objects are opaque pointers. The implementation does not care where they
+ point (if anywhere) or what they point to (if anything).
+
+ [!] NOTE: Pointers to objects _must_ be zero in the least significant bit.
+
+ (2) Objects do not need to contain linkage blocks for use by the array. This
+ permits an object to be located in multiple arrays simultaneously.
+ Rather, the array is made up of metadata blocks that point to objects.
+
+ (3) Objects require index keys to locate them within the array.
+
+ (4) Index keys must be unique. Inserting an object with the same key as one
+ already in the array will replace the old object.
+
+ (5) Index keys can be of any length and can be of different lengths.
+
+ (6) Index keys should encode the length early on, before any variation due to
+ length is seen.
+
+ (7) Index keys can include a hash to scatter objects throughout the array.
+
+ (8) The array can iterated over. The objects will not necessarily come out in
+ key order.
+
+ (9) The array can be iterated over whilst it is being modified, provided the
+ RCU readlock is being held by the iterator. Note, however, under these
+ circumstances, some objects may be seen more than once. If this is a
+ problem, the iterator should lock against modification. Objects will not
+ be missed, however, unless deleted.
+
+(10) Objects in the array can be looked up by means of their index key.
+
+(11) Objects can be looked up whilst the array is being modified, provided the
+ RCU readlock is being held by the thread doing the look up.
+
+The implementation uses a tree of 16-pointer nodes internally that are indexed
+on each level by nibbles from the index key in the same manner as in a radix
+tree. To improve memory efficiency, shortcuts can be emplaced to skip over
+what would otherwise be a series of single-occupancy nodes. Further, nodes
+pack leaf object pointers into spare space in the node rather than making an
+extra branch until as such time an object needs to be added to a full node.
+
+
+==============
+THE PUBLIC API
+==============
+
+The public API can be found in <linux/assoc_array.h>. The associative array is
+rooted on the following structure:
+
+ struct assoc_array {
+ ...
+ };
+
+The code is selected by enabling CONFIG_ASSOCIATIVE_ARRAY.
+
+
+EDIT SCRIPT
+-----------
+
+The insertion and deletion functions produce an 'edit script' that can later be
+applied to effect the changes without risking ENOMEM. This retains the
+preallocated metadata blocks that will be installed in the internal tree and
+keeps track of the metadata blocks that will be removed from the tree when the
+script is applied.
+
+This is also used to keep track of dead blocks and dead objects after the
+script has been applied so that they can be freed later. The freeing is done
+after an RCU grace period has passed - thus allowing access functions to
+proceed under the RCU read lock.
+
+The script appears as outside of the API as a pointer of the type:
+
+ struct assoc_array_edit;
+
+There are two functions for dealing with the script:
+
+ (1) Apply an edit script.
+
+ void assoc_array_apply_edit(struct assoc_array_edit *edit);
+
+ This will perform the edit functions, interpolating various write barriers
+ to permit accesses under the RCU read lock to continue. The edit script
+ will then be passed to call_rcu() to free it and any dead stuff it points
+ to.
+
+ (2) Cancel an edit script.
+
+ void assoc_array_cancel_edit(struct assoc_array_edit *edit);
+
+ This frees the edit script and all preallocated memory immediately. If
+ this was for insertion, the new object is _not_ released by this function,
+ but must rather be released by the caller.
+
+These functions are guaranteed not to fail.
+
+
+OPERATIONS TABLE
+----------------
+
+Various functions take a table of operations:
+
+ struct assoc_array_ops {
+ ...
+ };
+
+This points to a number of methods, all of which need to be provided:
+
+ (1) Get a chunk of index key from caller data:
+
+ unsigned long (*get_key_chunk)(const void *index_key, int level);
+
+ This should return a chunk of caller-supplied index key starting at the
+ *bit* position given by the level argument. The level argument will be a
+ multiple of ASSOC_ARRAY_KEY_CHUNK_SIZE and the function should return
+ ASSOC_ARRAY_KEY_CHUNK_SIZE bits. No error is possible.
+
+
+ (2) Get a chunk of an object's index key.
+
+ unsigned long (*get_object_key_chunk)(const void *object, int level);
+
+ As the previous function, but gets its data from an object in the array
+ rather than from a caller-supplied index key.
+
+
+ (3) See if this is the object we're looking for.
+
+ bool (*compare_object)(const void *object, const void *index_key);
+
+ Compare the object against an index key and return true if it matches and
+ false if it doesn't.
+
+
+ (4) Diff the index keys of two objects.
+
+ int (*diff_objects)(const void *object, const void *index_key);
+
+ Return the bit position at which the index key of the specified object
+ differs from the given index key or -1 if they are the same.
+
+
+ (5) Free an object.
+
+ void (*free_object)(void *object);
+
+ Free the specified object. Note that this may be called an RCU grace
+ period after assoc_array_apply_edit() was called, so synchronize_rcu() may
+ be necessary on module unloading.
+
+
+MANIPULATION FUNCTIONS
+----------------------
+
+There are a number of functions for manipulating an associative array:
+
+ (1) Initialise an associative array.
+
+ void assoc_array_init(struct assoc_array *array);
+
+ This initialises the base structure for an associative array. It can't
+ fail.
+
+
+ (2) Insert/replace an object in an associative array.
+
+ struct assoc_array_edit *
+ assoc_array_insert(struct assoc_array *array,
+ const struct assoc_array_ops *ops,
+ const void *index_key,
+ void *object);
+
+ This inserts the given object into the array. Note that the least
+ significant bit of the pointer must be zero as it's used to type-mark
+ pointers internally.
+
+ If an object already exists for that key then it will be replaced with the
+ new object and the old one will be freed automatically.
+
+ The index_key argument should hold index key information and is
+ passed to the methods in the ops table when they are called.
+
+ This function makes no alteration to the array itself, but rather returns
+ an edit script that must be applied. -ENOMEM is returned in the case of
+ an out-of-memory error.
+
+ The caller should lock exclusively against other modifiers of the array.
+
+
+ (3) Delete an object from an associative array.
+
+ struct assoc_array_edit *
+ assoc_array_delete(struct assoc_array *array,
+ const struct assoc_array_ops *ops,
+ const void *index_key);
+
+ This deletes an object that matches the specified data from the array.
+
+ The index_key argument should hold index key information and is
+ passed to the methods in the ops table when they are called.
+
+ This function makes no alteration to the array itself, but rather returns
+ an edit script that must be applied. -ENOMEM is returned in the case of
+ an out-of-memory error. NULL will be returned if the specified object is
+ not found within the array.
+
+ The caller should lock exclusively against other modifiers of the array.
+
+
+ (4) Delete all objects from an associative array.
+
+ struct assoc_array_edit *
+ assoc_array_clear(struct assoc_array *array,
+ const struct assoc_array_ops *ops);
+
+ This deletes all the objects from an associative array and leaves it
+ completely empty.
+
+ This function makes no alteration to the array itself, but rather returns
+ an edit script that must be applied. -ENOMEM is returned in the case of
+ an out-of-memory error.
+
+ The caller should lock exclusively against other modifiers of the array.
+
+
+ (5) Destroy an associative array, deleting all objects.
+
+ void assoc_array_destroy(struct assoc_array *array,
+ const struct assoc_array_ops *ops);
+
+ This destroys the contents of the associative array and leaves it
+ completely empty. It is not permitted for another thread to be traversing
+ the array under the RCU read lock at the same time as this function is
+ destroying it as no RCU deferral is performed on memory release -
+ something that would require memory to be allocated.
+
+ The caller should lock exclusively against other modifiers and accessors
+ of the array.
+
+
+ (6) Garbage collect an associative array.
+
+ int assoc_array_gc(struct assoc_array *array,
+ const struct assoc_array_ops *ops,
+ bool (*iterator)(void *object, void *iterator_data),
+ void *iterator_data);
+
+ This iterates over the objects in an associative array and passes each one
+ to iterator(). If iterator() returns true, the object is kept. If it
+ returns false, the object will be freed. If the iterator() function
+ returns true, it must perform any appropriate refcount incrementing on the
+ object before returning.
+
+ The internal tree will be packed down if possible as part of the iteration
+ to reduce the number of nodes in it.
+
+ The iterator_data is passed directly to iterator() and is otherwise
+ ignored by the function.
+
+ The function will return 0 if successful and -ENOMEM if there wasn't
+ enough memory.
+
+ It is possible for other threads to iterate over or search the array under
+ the RCU read lock whilst this function is in progress. The caller should
+ lock exclusively against other modifiers of the array.
+
+
+ACCESS FUNCTIONS
+----------------
+
+There are two functions for accessing an associative array:
+
+ (1) Iterate over all the objects in an associative array.
+
+ int assoc_array_iterate(const struct assoc_array *array,
+ int (*iterator)(const void *object,
+ void *iterator_data),
+ void *iterator_data);
+
+ This passes each object in the array to the iterator callback function.
+ iterator_data is private data for that function.
+
+ This may be used on an array at the same time as the array is being
+ modified, provided the RCU read lock is held. Under such circumstances,
+ it is possible for the iteration function to see some objects twice. If
+ this is a problem, then modification should be locked against. The
+ iteration algorithm should not, however, miss any objects.
+
+ The function will return 0 if no objects were in the array or else it will
+ return the result of the last iterator function called. Iteration stops
+ immediately if any call to the iteration function results in a non-zero
+ return.
+
+
+ (2) Find an object in an associative array.
+
+ void *assoc_array_find(const struct assoc_array *array,
+ const struct assoc_array_ops *ops,
+ const void *index_key);
+
+ This walks through the array's internal tree directly to the object
+ specified by the index key..
+
+ This may be used on an array at the same time as the array is being
+ modified, provided the RCU read lock is held.
+
+ The function will return the object if found (and set *_type to the object
+ type) or will return NULL if the object was not found.
+
+
+INDEX KEY FORM
+--------------
+
+The index key can be of any form, but since the algorithms aren't told how long
+the key is, it is strongly recommended that the index key includes its length
+very early on before any variation due to the length would have an effect on
+comparisons.
+
+This will cause leaves with different length keys to scatter away from each
+other - and those with the same length keys to cluster together.
+
+It is also recommended that the index key begin with a hash of the rest of the
+key to maximise scattering throughout keyspace.
+
+The better the scattering, the wider and lower the internal tree will be.
+
+Poor scattering isn't too much of a problem as there are shortcuts and nodes
+can contain mixtures of leaves and metadata pointers.
+
+The index key is read in chunks of machine word. Each chunk is subdivided into
+one nibble (4 bits) per level, so on a 32-bit CPU this is good for 8 levels and
+on a 64-bit CPU, 16 levels. Unless the scattering is really poor, it is
+unlikely that more than one word of any particular index key will have to be
+used.
+
+
+=================
+INTERNAL WORKINGS
+=================
+
+The associative array data structure has an internal tree. This tree is
+constructed of two types of metadata blocks: nodes and shortcuts.
+
+A node is an array of slots. Each slot can contain one of four things:
+
+ (*) A NULL pointer, indicating that the slot is empty.
+
+ (*) A pointer to an object (a leaf).
+
+ (*) A pointer to a node at the next level.
+
+ (*) A pointer to a shortcut.
+
+
+BASIC INTERNAL TREE LAYOUT
+--------------------------
+
+Ignoring shortcuts for the moment, the nodes form a multilevel tree. The index
+key space is strictly subdivided by the nodes in the tree and nodes occur on
+fixed levels. For example:
+
+ Level: 0 1 2 3
+ =============== =============== =============== ===============
+ NODE D
+ NODE B NODE C +------>+---+
+ +------>+---+ +------>+---+ | | 0 |
+ NODE A | | 0 | | | 0 | | +---+
+ +---+ | +---+ | +---+ | : :
+ | 0 | | : : | : : | +---+
+ +---+ | +---+ | +---+ | | f |
+ | 1 |---+ | 3 |---+ | 7 |---+ +---+
+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+ : : : : | 8 |---+
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | NODE E
+ | e |---+ | f | : : +------>+---+
+ +---+ | +---+ +---+ | 0 |
+ | f | | | f | +---+
+ +---+ | +---+ : :
+ | NODE F +---+
+ +------>+---+ | f |
+ | 0 | NODE G +---+
+ +---+ +------>+---+
+ : : | | 0 |
+ +---+ | +---+
+ | 6 |---+ : :
+ +---+ +---+
+ : : | f |
+ +---+ +---+
+ | f |
+ +---+
+
+In the above example, there are 7 nodes (A-G), each with 16 slots (0-f).
+Assuming no other meta data nodes in the tree, the key space is divided thusly:
+
+ KEY PREFIX NODE
+ ========== ====
+ 137* D
+ 138* E
+ 13[0-69-f]* C
+ 1[0-24-f]* B
+ e6* G
+ e[0-57-f]* F
+ [02-df]* A
+
+So, for instance, keys with the following example index keys will be found in
+the appropriate nodes:
+
+ INDEX KEY PREFIX NODE
+ =============== ======= ====
+ 13694892892489 13 C
+ 13795289025897 137 D
+ 13889dde88793 138 E
+ 138bbb89003093 138 E
+ 1394879524789 12 C
+ 1458952489 1 B
+ 9431809de993ba - A
+ b4542910809cd - A
+ e5284310def98 e F
+ e68428974237 e6 G
+ e7fffcbd443 e F
+ f3842239082 - A
+
+To save memory, if a node can hold all the leaves in its portion of keyspace,
+then the node will have all those leaves in it and will not have any metadata
+pointers - even if some of those leaves would like to be in the same slot.
+
+A node can contain a heterogeneous mix of leaves and metadata pointers.
+Metadata pointers must be in the slots that match their subdivisions of key
+space. The leaves can be in any slot not occupied by a metadata pointer. It
+is guaranteed that none of the leaves in a node will match a slot occupied by a
+metadata pointer. If the metadata pointer is there, any leaf whose key matches
+the metadata key prefix must be in the subtree that the metadata pointer points
+to.
+
+In the above example list of index keys, node A will contain:
+
+ SLOT CONTENT INDEX KEY (PREFIX)
+ ==== =============== ==================
+ 1 PTR TO NODE B 1*
+ any LEAF 9431809de993ba
+ any LEAF b4542910809cd
+ e PTR TO NODE F e*
+ any LEAF f3842239082
+
+and node B:
+
+ 3 PTR TO NODE C 13*
+ any LEAF 1458952489
+
+
+SHORTCUTS
+---------
+
+Shortcuts are metadata records that jump over a piece of keyspace. A shortcut
+is a replacement for a series of single-occupancy nodes ascending through the
+levels. Shortcuts exist to save memory and to speed up traversal.
+
+It is possible for the root of the tree to be a shortcut - say, for example,
+the tree contains at least 17 nodes all with key prefix '1111'. The insertion
+algorithm will insert a shortcut to skip over the '1111' keyspace in a single
+bound and get to the fourth level where these actually become different.
+
+
+SPLITTING AND COLLAPSING NODES
+------------------------------
+
+Each node has a maximum capacity of 16 leaves and metadata pointers. If the
+insertion algorithm finds that it is trying to insert a 17th object into a
+node, that node will be split such that at least two leaves that have a common
+key segment at that level end up in a separate node rooted on that slot for
+that common key segment.
+
+If the leaves in a full node and the leaf that is being inserted are
+sufficiently similar, then a shortcut will be inserted into the tree.
+
+When the number of objects in the subtree rooted at a node falls to 16 or
+fewer, then the subtree will be collapsed down to a single node - and this will
+ripple towards the root if possible.
+
+
+NON-RECURSIVE ITERATION
+-----------------------
+
+Each node and shortcut contains a back pointer to its parent and the number of
+slot in that parent that points to it. None-recursive iteration uses these to
+proceed rootwards through the tree, going to the parent node, slot N + 1 to
+make sure progress is made without the need for a stack.
+
+The backpointers, however, make simultaneous alteration and iteration tricky.
+
+
+SIMULTANEOUS ALTERATION AND ITERATION
+-------------------------------------
+
+There are a number of cases to consider:
+
+ (1) Simple insert/replace. This involves simply replacing a NULL or old
+ matching leaf pointer with the pointer to the new leaf after a barrier.
+ The metadata blocks don't change otherwise. An old leaf won't be freed
+ until after the RCU grace period.
+
+ (2) Simple delete. This involves just clearing an old matching leaf. The
+ metadata blocks don't change otherwise. The old leaf won't be freed until
+ after the RCU grace period.
+
+ (3) Insertion replacing part of a subtree that we haven't yet entered. This
+ may involve replacement of part of that subtree - but that won't affect
+ the iteration as we won't have reached the pointer to it yet and the
+ ancestry blocks are not replaced (the layout of those does not change).
+
+ (4) Insertion replacing nodes that we're actively processing. This isn't a
+ problem as we've passed the anchoring pointer and won't switch onto the
+ new layout until we follow the back pointers - at which point we've
+ already examined the leaves in the replaced node (we iterate over all the
+ leaves in a node before following any of its metadata pointers).
+
+ We might, however, re-see some leaves that have been split out into a new
+ branch that's in a slot further along than we were at.
+
+ (5) Insertion replacing nodes that we're processing a dependent branch of.
+ This won't affect us until we follow the back pointers. Similar to (4).
+
+ (6) Deletion collapsing a branch under us. This doesn't affect us because the
+ back pointers will get us back to the parent of the new node before we
+ could see the new node. The entire collapsed subtree is thrown away
+ unchanged - and will still be rooted on the same slot, so we shouldn't
+ process it a second time as we'll go back to slot + 1.
+
+Note:
+
+ (*) Under some circumstances, we need to simultaneously change the parent
+ pointer and the parent slot pointer on a node (say, for example, we
+ inserted another node before it and moved it up a level). We cannot do
+ this without locking against a read - so we have to replace that node too.
+
+ However, when we're changing a shortcut into a node this isn't a problem
+ as shortcuts only have one slot and so the parent slot number isn't used
+ when traversing backwards over one. This means that it's okay to change
+ the slot number first - provided suitable barriers are used to make sure
+ the parent slot number is read after the back pointer.
+
+Obsolete blocks and leaves are freed up after an RCU grace period has passed,
+so as long as anyone doing walking or iteration holds the RCU read lock, the
+old superstructure should not go away on them.

+GPIO Mappings
+=============
+
+This document explains how GPIOs can be assigned to given devices and functions.
+Note that it only applies to the new descriptor-based interface. For a
+description of the deprecated integer-based GPIO interface please refer to
+gpio-legacy.txt (actually, there is no real mapping possible with the old
+interface; you just fetch an integer from somewhere and request the
+corresponding GPIO.
+
+Platforms that make use of GPIOs must select ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB (if GPIO usage
+is mandatory) or ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB (if GPIO support can be omitted) in
+their Kconfig. Then, how GPIOs are mapped depends on what the platform uses to
+describe its hardware layout. Currently, mappings can be defined through device
+tree, ACPI, and platform data.
+
+Device Tree
+-----------
+GPIOs can easily be mapped to devices and functions in the device tree. The
+exact way to do it depends on the GPIO controller providing the GPIOs, see the
+device tree bindings for your controller.
+
+GPIOs mappings are defined in the consumer device's node, in a property named
+<function>-gpios, where <function> is the function the driver will request
+through gpiod_get(). For example:
+
+ foo_device {
+ compatible = "acme,foo";
+ ...
+ led-gpios = <&gpio 15 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, /* red */
+ <&gpio 16 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>, /* green */
+ <&gpio 17 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* blue */
+
+ power-gpio = <&gpio 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+ };
+
+This property will make GPIOs 15, 16 and 17 available to the driver under the
+"led" function, and GPIO 1 as the "power" GPIO:
+
+ struct gpio_desc *red, *green, *blue, *power;
+
+ red = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 0);
+ green = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 1);
+ blue = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 2);
+
+ power = gpiod_get(dev, "power");
+
+The led GPIOs will be active-high, while the power GPIO will be active-low (i.e.
+gpiod_is_active_low(power) will be true).
+
+ACPI
+----
+ACPI does not support function names for GPIOs. Therefore, only the "idx"
+argument of gpiod_get_index() is useful to discriminate between GPIOs assigned
+to a device. The "con_id" argument can still be set for debugging purposes (it
+will appear under error messages as well as debug and sysfs nodes).
+
+Platform Data
+-------------
+Finally, GPIOs can be bound to devices and functions using platform data. Board
+files that desire to do so need to include the following header:
+
+ #include <linux/gpio/driver.h>
+
+GPIOs are mapped by the means of tables of lookups, containing instances of the
+gpiod_lookup structure. Two macros are defined to help declaring such mappings:
+
+ GPIO_LOOKUP(chip_label, chip_hwnum, dev_id, con_id, flags)
+ GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX(chip_label, chip_hwnum, dev_id, con_id, idx, flags)
+
+where
+
+ - chip_label is the label of the gpiod_chip instance providing the GPIO
+ - chip_hwnum is the hardware number of the GPIO within the chip
+ - dev_id is the identifier of the device that will make use of this GPIO. If
+ NULL, the GPIO will be available to all devices.
+ - con_id is the name of the GPIO function from the device point of view. It
+ can be NULL.
+ - idx is the index of the GPIO within the function.
+ - flags is defined to specify the following properties:
+ * GPIOF_ACTIVE_LOW - to configure the GPIO as active-low
+ * GPIOF_OPEN_DRAIN - GPIO pin is open drain type.
+ * GPIOF_OPEN_SOURCE - GPIO pin is open source type.
+
+In the future, these flags might be extended to support more properties.
+
+Note that GPIO_LOOKUP() is just a shortcut to GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX() where idx = 0.
+
+A lookup table can then be defined as follows:
+
+ struct gpiod_lookup gpios_table[] = {
+ GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio.0", 15, "foo.0", "led", 0, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH),
+ GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio.0", 16, "foo.0", "led", 1, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH),
+ GPIO_LOOKUP_IDX("gpio.0", 17, "foo.0", "led", 2, GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH),
+ GPIO_LOOKUP("gpio.0", 1, "foo.0", "power", GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW),
+ };
+
+And the table can be added by the board code as follows:
+
+ gpiod_add_table(gpios_table, ARRAY_SIZE(gpios_table));
+
+The driver controlling "foo.0" will then be able to obtain its GPIOs as follows:
+
+ struct gpio_desc *red, *green, *blue, *power;
+
+ red = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 0);
+ green = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 1);
+ blue = gpiod_get_index(dev, "led", 2);
+
+ power = gpiod_get(dev, "power");
+ gpiod_direction_output(power, 1);
+
+Since the "power" GPIO is mapped as active-low, its actual signal will be 0
+after this code. Contrary to the legacy integer GPIO interface, the active-low
+property is handled during mapping and is thus transparent to GPIO consumers.

+GPIO Descriptor Consumer Interface
+==================================
+
+This document describes the consumer interface of the GPIO framework. Note that
+it describes the new descriptor-based interface. For a description of the
+deprecated integer-based GPIO interface please refer to gpio-legacy.txt.
+
+
+Guidelines for GPIOs consumers
+==============================
+
+Drivers that can't work without standard GPIO calls should have Kconfig entries
+that depend on GPIOLIB. The functions that allow a driver to obtain and use
+GPIOs are available by including the following file:
+
+ #include <linux/gpio/consumer.h>
+
+All the functions that work with the descriptor-based GPIO interface are
+prefixed with gpiod_. The gpio_ prefix is used for the legacy interface. No
+other function in the kernel should use these prefixes.
+
+
+Obtaining and Disposing GPIOs
+=============================
+
+With the descriptor-based interface, GPIOs are identified with an opaque,
+non-forgeable handler that must be obtained through a call to one of the
+gpiod_get() functions. Like many other kernel subsystems, gpiod_get() takes the
+device that will use the GPIO and the function the requested GPIO is supposed to
+fulfill:
+
+ struct gpio_desc *gpiod_get(struct device *dev, const char *con_id)
+
+If a function is implemented by using several GPIOs together (e.g. a simple LED
+device that displays digits), an additional index argument can be specified:
+
+ struct gpio_desc *gpiod_get_index(struct device *dev,
+ const char *con_id, unsigned int idx)
+
+Both functions return either a valid GPIO descriptor, or an error code checkable
+with IS_ERR(). They will never return a NULL pointer.
+
+Device-managed variants of these functions are also defined:
+
+ struct gpio_desc *devm_gpiod_get(struct device *dev, const char *con_id)
+
+ struct gpio_desc *devm_gpiod_get_index(struct device *dev,
+ const char *con_id,
+ unsigned int idx)
+
+A GPIO descriptor can be disposed of using the gpiod_put() function:
+
+ void gpiod_put(struct gpio_desc *desc)
+
+It is strictly forbidden to use a descriptor after calling this function. The
+device-managed variant is, unsurprisingly:
+
+ void devm_gpiod_put(struct device *dev, struct gpio_desc *desc)
+
+
+Using GPIOs
+===========
+
+Setting Direction
+-----------------
+The first thing a driver must do with a GPIO is setting its direction. This is
+done by invoking one of the gpiod_direction_*() functions:
+
+ int gpiod_direction_input(struct gpio_desc *desc)
+ int gpiod_direction_output(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value)
+
+The return value is zero for success, else a negative errno. It should be
+checked, since the get/set calls don't return errors and since misconfiguration
+is possible. You should normally issue these calls from a task context. However,
+for spinlock-safe GPIOs it is OK to use them before tasking is enabled, as part
+of early board setup.
+
+For output GPIOs, the value provided becomes the initial output value. This
+helps avoid signal glitching during system startup.
+
+A driver can also query the current direction of a GPIO:
+
+ int gpiod_get_direction(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
+
+This function will return either GPIOF_DIR_IN or GPIOF_DIR_OUT.
+
+Be aware that there is no default direction for GPIOs. Therefore, **using a GPIO
+without setting its direction first is illegal and will result in undefined
+behavior!**
+
+
+Spinlock-Safe GPIO Access
+-------------------------
+Most GPIO controllers can be accessed with memory read/write instructions. Those
+don't need to sleep, and can safely be done from inside hard (non-threaded) IRQ
+handlers and similar contexts.
+
+Use the following calls to access GPIOs from an atomic context:
+
+ int gpiod_get_value(const struct gpio_desc *desc);
+ void gpiod_set_value(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value);
+
+The values are boolean, zero for low, nonzero for high. When reading the value
+of an output pin, the value returned should be what's seen on the pin. That
+won't always match the specified output value, because of issues including
+open-drain signaling and output latencies.
+
+The get/set calls do not return errors because "invalid GPIO" should have been
+reported earlier from gpiod_direction_*(). However, note that not all platforms
+can read the value of output pins; those that can't should always return zero.
+Also, using these calls for GPIOs that can't safely be accessed without sleeping
+(see below) is an error.
+
+
+GPIO Access That May Sleep
+--------------------------
+Some GPIO controllers must be accessed using message based buses like I2C or
+SPI. Commands to read or write those GPIO values require waiting to get to the
+head of a queue to transmit a command and get its response. This requires
+sleeping, which can't be done from inside IRQ handlers.
+
+Platforms that support this type of GPIO distinguish them from other GPIOs by
+returning nonzero from this call:
+
+ int gpiod_cansleep(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
+
+To access such GPIOs, a different set of accessors is defined:
+
+ int gpiod_get_value_cansleep(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
+ void gpiod_set_value_cansleep(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value)
+
+Accessing such GPIOs requires a context which may sleep, for example a threaded
+IRQ handler, and those accessors must be used instead of spinlock-safe
+accessors without the cansleep() name suffix.
+
+Other than the fact that these accessors might sleep, and will work on GPIOs
+that can't be accessed from hardIRQ handlers, these calls act the same as the
+spinlock-safe calls.
+
+
+Active-low State and Raw GPIO Values
+------------------------------------
+Device drivers like to manage the logical state of a GPIO, i.e. the value their
+device will actually receive, no matter what lies between it and the GPIO line.
+In some cases, it might make sense to control the actual GPIO line value. The
+following set of calls ignore the active-low property of a GPIO and work on the
+raw line value:
+
+ int gpiod_get_raw_value(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
+ void gpiod_set_raw_value(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value)
+ int gpiod_get_raw_value_cansleep(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
+ void gpiod_set_raw_value_cansleep(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value)
+
+The active-low state of a GPIO can also be queried using the following call:
+
+ int gpiod_is_active_low(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
+
+Note that these functions should only be used with great moderation ; a driver
+should not have to care about the physical line level.
+
+GPIOs mapped to IRQs
+--------------------
+GPIO lines can quite often be used as IRQs. You can get the IRQ number
+corresponding to a given GPIO using the following call:
+
+ int gpiod_to_irq(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
+
+It will return an IRQ number, or an negative errno code if the mapping can't be
+done (most likely because that particular GPIO cannot be used as IRQ). It is an
+unchecked error to use a GPIO that wasn't set up as an input using
+gpiod_direction_input(), or to use an IRQ number that didn't originally come
+from gpiod_to_irq(). gpiod_to_irq() is not allowed to sleep.
+
+Non-error values returned from gpiod_to_irq() can be passed to request_irq() or
+free_irq(). They will often be stored into IRQ resources for platform devices,
+by the board-specific initialization code. Note that IRQ trigger options are
+part of the IRQ interface, e.g. IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING, as are system wakeup
+capabilities.
+
+
+Interacting With the Legacy GPIO Subsystem
+==========================================
+Many kernel subsystems still handle GPIOs using the legacy integer-based
+interface. Although it is strongly encouraged to upgrade them to the safer
+descriptor-based API, the following two functions allow you to convert a GPIO
+descriptor into the GPIO integer namespace and vice-versa:
+
+ int desc_to_gpio(const struct gpio_desc *desc)
+ struct gpio_desc *gpio_to_desc(unsigned gpio)

+GPIO Descriptor Driver Interface
+================================
+
+This document serves as a guide for GPIO chip drivers writers. Note that it
+describes the new descriptor-based interface. For a description of the
+deprecated integer-based GPIO interface please refer to gpio-legacy.txt.
+
+Each GPIO controller driver needs to include the following header, which defines
+the structures used to define a GPIO driver:
+
+ #include <linux/gpio/driver.h>
+
+
+Internal Representation of GPIOs
+================================
+
+Inside a GPIO driver, individual GPIOs are identified by their hardware number,
+which is a unique number between 0 and n, n being the number of GPIOs managed by
+the chip. This number is purely internal: the hardware number of a particular
+GPIO descriptor is never made visible outside of the driver.
+
+On top of this internal number, each GPIO also need to have a global number in
+the integer GPIO namespace so that it can be used with the legacy GPIO
+interface. Each chip must thus have a "base" number (which can be automatically
+assigned), and for each GPIO the global number will be (base + hardware number).
+Although the integer representation is considered deprecated, it still has many
+users and thus needs to be maintained.
+
+So for example one platform could use numbers 32-159 for GPIOs, with a
+controller defining 128 GPIOs at a "base" of 32 ; while another platform uses
+numbers 0..63 with one set of GPIO controllers, 64-79 with another type of GPIO
+controller, and on one particular board 80-95 with an FPGA. The numbers need not
+be contiguous; either of those platforms could also use numbers 2000-2063 to
+identify GPIOs in a bank of I2C GPIO expanders.
+
+
+Controller Drivers: gpio_chip
+=============================
+
+In the gpiolib framework each GPIO controller is packaged as a "struct
+gpio_chip" (see linux/gpio/driver.h for its complete definition) with members
+common to each controller of that type:
+
+ - methods to establish GPIO direction
+ - methods used to access GPIO values
+ - method to return the IRQ number associated to a given GPIO
+ - flag saying whether calls to its methods may sleep
+ - optional debugfs dump method (showing extra state like pullup config)
+ - optional base number (will be automatically assigned if omitted)
+ - label for diagnostics and GPIOs mapping using platform data
+
+The code implementing a gpio_chip should support multiple instances of the
+controller, possibly using the driver model. That code will configure each
+gpio_chip and issue gpiochip_add(). Removing a GPIO controller should be rare;
+use gpiochip_remove() when it is unavoidable.
+
+Most often a gpio_chip is part of an instance-specific structure with state not
+exposed by the GPIO interfaces, such as addressing, power management, and more.
+Chips such as codecs will have complex non-GPIO state.
+
+Any debugfs dump method should normally ignore signals which haven't been
+requested as GPIOs. They can use gpiochip_is_requested(), which returns either
+NULL or the label associated with that GPIO when it was requested.
+
+Locking IRQ usage
+-----------------
+Input GPIOs can be used as IRQ signals. When this happens, a driver is requested
+to mark the GPIO as being used as an IRQ:
+
+ int gpiod_lock_as_irq(struct gpio_desc *desc)
+
+This will prevent the use of non-irq related GPIO APIs until the GPIO IRQ lock
+is released:
+
+ void gpiod_unlock_as_irq(struct gpio_desc *desc)

+GPIO Interfaces
+===============
+
+The documents in this directory give detailed instructions on how to access
+GPIOs in drivers, and how to write a driver for a device that provides GPIOs
+itself.
+
+Due to the history of GPIO interfaces in the kernel, there are two different
+ways to obtain and use GPIOs:
+
+ - The descriptor-based interface is the preferred way to manipulate GPIOs,
+and is described by all the files in this directory excepted gpio-legacy.txt.
+ - The legacy integer-based interface which is considered deprecated (but still
+usable for compatibility reasons) is documented in gpio-legacy.txt.
+
+The remainder of this document applies to the new descriptor-based interface.
+gpio-legacy.txt contains the same information applied to the legacy
+integer-based interface.
+
+
+What is a GPIO?
+===============
+
+A "General Purpose Input/Output" (GPIO) is a flexible software-controlled
+digital signal. They are provided from many kinds of chip, and are familiar
+to Linux developers working with embedded and custom hardware. Each GPIO
+represents a bit connected to a particular pin, or "ball" on Ball Grid Array
+(BGA) packages. Board schematics show which external hardware connects to
+which GPIOs. Drivers can be written generically, so that board setup code
+passes such pin configuration data to drivers.
+
+System-on-Chip (SOC) processors heavily rely on GPIOs. In some cases, every
+non-dedicated pin can be configured as a GPIO; and most chips have at least
+several dozen of them. Programmable logic devices (like FPGAs) can easily
+provide GPIOs; multifunction chips like power managers, and audio codecs
+often have a few such pins to help with pin scarcity on SOCs; and there are
+also "GPIO Expander" chips that connect using the I2C or SPI serial buses.
+Most PC southbridges have a few dozen GPIO-capable pins (with only the BIOS
+firmware knowing how they're used).
+
+The exact capabilities of GPIOs vary between systems. Common options:
+
+ - Output values are writable (high=1, low=0). Some chips also have
+ options about how that value is driven, so that for example only one
+ value might be driven, supporting "wire-OR" and similar schemes for the
+ other value (notably, "open drain" signaling).
+
+ - Input values are likewise readable (1, 0). Some chips support readback
+ of pins configured as "output", which is very useful in such "wire-OR"
+ cases (to support bidirectional signaling). GPIO controllers may have
+ input de-glitch/debounce logic, sometimes with software controls.
+
+ - Inputs can often be used as IRQ signals, often edge triggered but
+ sometimes level triggered. Such IRQs may be configurable as system
+ wakeup events, to wake the system from a low power state.
+
+ - Usually a GPIO will be configurable as either input or output, as needed
+ by different product boards; single direction ones exist too.
+
+ - Most GPIOs can be accessed while holding spinlocks, but those accessed
+ through a serial bus normally can't. Some systems support both types.
+
+On a given board each GPIO is used for one specific purpose like monitoring
+MMC/SD card insertion/removal, detecting card write-protect status, driving
+a LED, configuring a transceiver, bit-banging a serial bus, poking a hardware
+watchdog, sensing a switch, and so on.
+
+
+Common GPIO Properties
+======================
+
+These properties are met through all the other documents of the GPIO interface
+and it is useful to understand them, especially if you need to define GPIO
+mappings.
+
+Active-High and Active-Low
+--------------------------
+It is natural to assume that a GPIO is "active" when its output signal is 1
+("high"), and inactive when it is 0 ("low"). However in practice the signal of a
+GPIO may be inverted before is reaches its destination, or a device could decide
+to have different conventions about what "active" means. Such decisions should
+be transparent to device drivers, therefore it is possible to define a GPIO as
+being either active-high ("1" means "active", the default) or active-low ("0"
+means "active") so that drivers only need to worry about the logical signal and
+not about what happens at the line level.
+
+Open Drain and Open Source
+--------------------------
+Sometimes shared signals need to use "open drain" (where only the low signal
+level is actually driven), or "open source" (where only the high signal level is
+driven) signaling. That term applies to CMOS transistors; "open collector" is
+used for TTL. A pullup or pulldown resistor causes the high or low signal level.
+This is sometimes called a "wire-AND"; or more practically, from the negative
+logic (low=true) perspective this is a "wire-OR".
+
+One common example of an open drain signal is a shared active-low IRQ line.
+Also, bidirectional data bus signals sometimes use open drain signals.
+
+Some GPIO controllers directly support open drain and open source outputs; many
+don't. When you need open drain signaling but your hardware doesn't directly
+support it, there's a common idiom you can use to emulate it with any GPIO pin
+that can be used as either an input or an output:
+
+ LOW: gpiod_direction_output(gpio, 0) ... this drives the signal and overrides
+ the pullup.
+
+ HIGH: gpiod_direction_input(gpio) ... this turns off the output, so the pullup
+ (or some other device) controls the signal.
+
+The same logic can be applied to emulate open source signaling, by driving the
+high signal and configuring the GPIO as input for low. This open drain/open
+source emulation can be handled transparently by the GPIO framework.
+
+If you are "driving" the signal high but gpiod_get_value(gpio) reports a low
+value (after the appropriate rise time passes), you know some other component is
+driving the shared signal low. That's not necessarily an error. As one common
+example, that's how I2C clocks are stretched: a slave that needs a slower clock
+delays the rising edge of SCK, and the I2C master adjusts its signaling rate
+accordingly.

+GPIO Sysfs Interface for Userspace
+==================================
+
+Platforms which use the "gpiolib" implementors framework may choose to
+configure a sysfs user interface to GPIOs. This is different from the
+debugfs interface, since it provides control over GPIO direction and
+value instead of just showing a gpio state summary. Plus, it could be
+present on production systems without debugging support.
+
+Given appropriate hardware documentation for the system, userspace could
+know for example that GPIO #23 controls the write protect line used to
+protect boot loader segments in flash memory. System upgrade procedures
+may need to temporarily remove that protection, first importing a GPIO,
+then changing its output state, then updating the code before re-enabling
+the write protection. In normal use, GPIO #23 would never be touched,
+and the kernel would have no need to know about it.
+
+Again depending on appropriate hardware documentation, on some systems
+userspace GPIO can be used to determine system configuration data that
+standard kernels won't know about. And for some tasks, simple userspace
+GPIO drivers could be all that the system really needs.
+
+Note that standard kernel drivers exist for common "LEDs and Buttons"
+GPIO tasks: "leds-gpio" and "gpio_keys", respectively. Use those
+instead of talking directly to the GPIOs; they integrate with kernel
+frameworks better than your userspace code could.
+
+
+Paths in Sysfs
+--------------
+There are three kinds of entry in /sys/class/gpio:
+
+ - Control interfaces used to get userspace control over GPIOs;
+
+ - GPIOs themselves; and
+
+ - GPIO controllers ("gpio_chip" instances).
+
+That's in addition to standard files including the "device" symlink.
+
+The control interfaces are write-only:
+
+ /sys/class/gpio/
+
+ "export" ... Userspace may ask the kernel to export control of
+ a GPIO to userspace by writing its number to this file.
+
+ Example: "echo 19 > export" will create a "gpio19" node
+ for GPIO #19, if that's not requested by kernel code.
+
+ "unexport" ... Reverses the effect of exporting to userspace.
+
+ Example: "echo 19 > unexport" will remove a "gpio19"
+ node exported using the "export" file.
+
+GPIO signals have paths like /sys/class/gpio/gpio42/ (for GPIO #42)
+and have the following read/write attributes:
+
+ /sys/class/gpio/gpioN/
+
+ "direction" ... reads as either "in" or "out". This value may
+ normally be written. Writing as "out" defaults to
+ initializing the value as low. To ensure glitch free
+ operation, values "low" and "high" may be written to
+ configure the GPIO as an output with that initial value.
+
+ Note that this attribute *will not exist* if the kernel
+ doesn't support changing the direction of a GPIO, or
+ it was exported by kernel code that didn't explicitly
+ allow userspace to reconfigure this GPIO's direction.
+
+ "value" ... reads as either 0 (low) or 1 (high). If the GPIO
+ is configured as an output, this value may be written;
+ any nonzero value is treated as high.
+
+ If the pin can be configured as interrupt-generating interrupt
+ and if it has been configured to generate interrupts (see the
+ description of "edge"), you can poll(2) on that file and
+ poll(2) will return whenever the interrupt was triggered. If
+ you use poll(2), set the events POLLPRI and POLLERR. If you
+ use select(2), set the file descriptor in exceptfds. After
+ poll(2) returns, either lseek(2) to the beginning of the sysfs
+ file and read the new value or close the file and re-open it
+ to read the value.
+
+ "edge" ... reads as either "none", "rising", "falling", or
+ "both". Write these strings to select the signal edge(s)
+ that will make poll(2) on the "value" file return.
+
+ This file exists only if the pin can be configured as an
+ interrupt generating input pin.
+
+ "active_low" ... reads as either 0 (false) or 1 (true). Write
+ any nonzero value to invert the value attribute both
+ for reading and writing. Existing and subsequent
+ poll(2) support configuration via the edge attribute
+ for "rising" and "falling" edges will follow this
+ setting.
+
+GPIO controllers have paths like /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip42/ (for the
+controller implementing GPIOs starting at #42) and have the following
+read-only attributes:
+
+ /sys/class/gpio/gpiochipN/
+
+ "base" ... same as N, the first GPIO managed by this chip
+
+ "label" ... provided for diagnostics (not always unique)
+
+ "ngpio" ... how many GPIOs this manges (N to N + ngpio - 1)
+
+Board documentation should in most cases cover what GPIOs are used for
+what purposes. However, those numbers are not always stable; GPIOs on
+a daughtercard might be different depending on the base board being used,
+or other cards in the stack. In such cases, you may need to use the
+gpiochip nodes (possibly in conjunction with schematics) to determine
+the correct GPIO number to use for a given signal.
+
+
+Exporting from Kernel code
+--------------------------
+Kernel code can explicitly manage exports of GPIOs which have already been
+requested using gpio_request():
+
+ /* export the GPIO to userspace */
+ int gpiod_export(struct gpio_desc *desc, bool direction_may_change);
+
+ /* reverse gpio_export() */
+ void gpiod_unexport(struct gpio_desc *desc);
+
+ /* create a sysfs link to an exported GPIO node */
+ int gpiod_export_link(struct device *dev, const char *name,
+ struct gpio_desc *desc);
+
+ /* change the polarity of a GPIO node in sysfs */
+ int gpiod_sysfs_set_active_low(struct gpio_desc *desc, int value);
+
+After a kernel driver requests a GPIO, it may only be made available in
+the sysfs interface by gpiod_export(). The driver can control whether the
+signal direction may change. This helps drivers prevent userspace code
+from accidentally clobbering important system state.
+
+This explicit exporting can help with debugging (by making some kinds
+of experiments easier), or can provide an always-there interface that's
+suitable for documenting as part of a board support package.
+
+After the GPIO has been exported, gpiod_export_link() allows creating
+symlinks from elsewhere in sysfs to the GPIO sysfs node. Drivers can
+use this to provide the interface under their own device in sysfs with
+a descriptive name.
+
+Drivers can use gpiod_sysfs_set_active_low() to hide GPIO line polarity
+differences between boards from user space. Polarity change can be done both
+before and after gpiod_export(), and previously enabled poll(2) support for
+either rising or falling edge will be reconfigured to follow this setting.

+ IMA Template Management Mechanism
+
+
+==== INTRODUCTION ====
+
+The original 'ima' template is fixed length, containing the filedata hash
+and pathname. The filedata hash is limited to 20 bytes (md5/sha1).
+The pathname is a null terminated string, limited to 255 characters.
+To overcome these limitations and to add additional file metadata, it is
+necessary to extend the current version of IMA by defining additional
+templates. For example, information that could be possibly reported are
+the inode UID/GID or the LSM labels either of the inode and of the process
+that is accessing it.
+
+However, the main problem to introduce this feature is that, each time
+a new template is defined, the functions that generate and display
+the measurements list would include the code for handling a new format
+and, thus, would significantly grow over the time.
+
+The proposed solution solves this problem by separating the template
+management from the remaining IMA code. The core of this solution is the
+definition of two new data structures: a template descriptor, to determine
+which information should be included in the measurement list; a template
+field, to generate and display data of a given type.
+
+Managing templates with these structures is very simple. To support
+a new data type, developers define the field identifier and implement
+two functions, init() and show(), respectively to generate and display
+measurement entries. Defining a new template descriptor requires
+specifying the template format, a string of field identifiers separated
+by the '|' character. While in the current implementation it is possible
+to define new template descriptors only by adding their definition in the
+template specific code (ima_template.c), in a future version it will be
+possible to register a new template on a running kernel by supplying to IMA
+the desired format string. In this version, IMA initializes at boot time
+all defined template descriptors by translating the format into an array
+of template fields structures taken from the set of the supported ones.
+
+After the initialization step, IMA will call ima_alloc_init_template()
+(new function defined within the patches for the new template management
+mechanism) to generate a new measurement entry by using the template
+descriptor chosen through the kernel configuration or through the newly
+introduced 'ima_template=' kernel command line parameter. It is during this
+phase that the advantages of the new architecture are clearly shown:
+the latter function will not contain specific code to handle a given template
+but, instead, it simply calls the init() method of the template fields
+associated to the chosen template descriptor and store the result (pointer
+to allocated data and data length) in the measurement entry structure.
+
+The same mechanism is employed to display measurements entries.
+The functions ima[_ascii]_measurements_show() retrieve, for each entry,
+the template descriptor used to produce that entry and call the show()
+method for each item of the array of template fields structures.
+
+
+
+==== SUPPORTED TEMPLATE FIELDS AND DESCRIPTORS ====
+
+In the following, there is the list of supported template fields

+ - 'n': the name of the event (i.e. the file name), with size up to 255 bytes;
+ - 'd-ng': the digest of the event, calculated with an arbitrary hash
+ algorithm (field format: [<hash algo>:]digest, where the digest
+ prefix is shown only if the hash algorithm is not SHA1 or MD5);
+ - 'n-ng': the name of the event, without size limitations.

+Below, there is the list of defined template descriptors:
+ - "ima": its format is 'd|n';
+ - "ima-ng" (default): its format is 'd-ng|n-ng'.

+==== USE ====
+
+To specify the template descriptor to be used to generate measurement entries,
+currently the following methods are supported:
+
+ - select a template descriptor among those supported in the kernel
+ configuration ('ima-ng' is the default choice);
+ - specify a template descriptor name from the kernel command line through
+ the 'ima_template=' parameter.
