Defines for +the standard Counter data types are exposed via the userspace +`include/uapi/linux/counter.h` file. + +Counter events +-------------- +Counter device drivers can support Counter events by utilizing the +`counter_push_event` function:: + + int counter_push_event(struct counter_device *const counter, const u8 event, + const u8 channel); + +The event id is specified by the `event` parameter; the event channel id +is specified by the `channel` parameter. When this function is called, +the Counter data associated with the respective event is gathered, and a +`struct counter_event` is generated for each datum and pushed to +userspace. + +Counter events can be configured by users to report various Counter +data of interest. This can be conceptualized as a list of Counter +component read calls to perform. For example:: + + +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ + | COUNTER_EVENT_OVERFLOW | COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX | + +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ + | Channel 0 | Channel 0 | + +------------------------+------------------------+ + | * Count 0 | * Signal 0 | + | * Count 1 | * Signal 0 Extension 0 | + | * Signal 3 | * Extension 4 | + | * Count 4 Extension 2 +------------------------+ + | * Signal 5 Extension 0 | Channel 1 | + | +------------------------+ + | | * Signal 4 | + | | * Signal 4 Extension 0 | + | | * Count 7 | + +------------------------+------------------------+ + +When `counter_push_event(counter, COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX, 1)` is called for +example, it will go down the list for the `COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX` event +channel 1 and execute the read callbacks for Signal 4, Signal 4 +Extension 0, and Count 4 -- the data returned for each is pushed to a +kfifo as a `struct counter_event`, which userspace can retrieve via a +standard read operation on the respective character device node. + +Userspace +--------- +Userspace applications can configure Counter events via ioctl operations +on the Counter character device node. There following ioctl codes are +supported and provided by the `linux/counter.h` userspace header file: + +* COUNTER_CLEAR_WATCHES_IOCTL: + Clear all Counter watches from all events + +* COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL: + Add a Counter watch for the specified event + +* COUNTER_LOAD_WATCHES_IOCTL: + Activates the Counter watches added earlier + +To configure events to gather Counter data, users first populate a +`struct counter_watch` with the relevant event id, event channel id, and +the information for the desired Counter component from which to read, +and then pass it via the `COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL` ioctl command. + +Note that an event can be watched without gathering Counter data by +setting the `component.type` member equal to `COUNTER_COMPONENT_DUMMY`. +This configures the component as a dummy: the Counter character device +node will simply populate the event timestamps for those respective +`struct counter_event` elements and ignore the component value. + +The `COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL` command will buffer these Counter watches. +When ready, the `COUNTER_LOAD_WATCHES_IOCTL` ioctl command may be used +to activate these Counter watches. + +Userspace applications can then execute a `read` operation (optionally +calling `poll` first) on the Counter character device node to retrieve +`struct counter_event` elements with the desired data. + +For example, the following userspace code opens `/dev/counter0`, +configures the `COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX` event channel 0 to gather Count 0 +and Count 1, and prints out the data as it becomes available on the +character device node:: + + #include + #include + #include + #include + #include + + struct counter_watch watches[2] = { + { + .component.type = COUNTER_COMPONENT_COUNT, + .component.scope = COUNTER_SCOPE_COUNT, + .component.parent = 0, + .event = COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX, + .channel = 0, + }, + { + .component.type = COUNTER_COMPONENT_COUNT, + .component.scope = COUNTER_SCOPE_COUNT, + .component.parent = 1, + .event = COUNTER_EVENT_INDEX, + .channel = 0, + }, + }; + + int main(void) + { + int fd; + struct counter_event event_data[2]; + + fd = open("/dev/counter0", O_RDWR); + + ioctl(fd, COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL, watches); + ioctl(fd, COUNTER_ADD_WATCH_IOCTL, watches + 1); + ioctl(fd, COUNTER_LOAD_WATCHES_IOCTL); + + for (;;) { + read(fd, event_data, sizeof(event_data)); + + printf("Count 0: %llu\nTimestamp 0: %llu\n" + "Count 1: %llu\nTimestamp 1: %llu\n", + (unsigned long long)event_data[0].value, + (unsigned long long)event_data[0].timestamp, + (unsigned long long)event_data[1].value, + (unsigned long long)event_data[1].timestamp); + } + + return 0; + } diff --git a/Documentation/userspace-api/ioctl/ioctl-number.rst b/Documentation/userspace-api/ioctl/ioctl-number.rst index 2a198838fca9..f6e96bb780cd 100644 --- a/Documentation/userspace-api/ioctl/ioctl-number.rst +++ b/Documentation/userspace-api/ioctl/ioctl-number.rst @@ -88,6 +88,7 @@ Code Seq# Include File Comments 0x20 all drivers/cdrom/cm206.h 0x22 all scsi/sg.h +0x3E 00-0F linux/counter.h '!' 00-1F uapi/linux/seccomp.h '#' 00-3F IEEE 1394 Subsystem Block for the entire subsystem
