Subject: [PATCH 13/22] gpio: uapi: define uAPI V2
Add a new version of the uAPI to address existing 32/64bit alignment
issues, add support for debounce and event sequence numbers, and provide
some future proofing by adding padding reserved for future use.
The alignment issue relates to the gpioevent_data, which packs to different
sizes on 32bit and 64bit platforms. That creates problems for 32bit apps
running on 64bit kernels. The patch addresses that particular issue, and
the problem more generally, by adding pad fields that explicitly pad
structs out to 64bit boundaries, so they will pack to the same size now,
and even if some of the reserved padding is used for __u64 fields in the
future.
The lack of future proofing in V1 makes it impossible to, for example,
add the debounce feature that is included in v2.
The future proofing is addressed by providing reserved padding in all
structs for future features. Specifically, the line request,
config, info, info_changed and event structs receive updated versions,
and the first three new ioctls.

---
I haven't added any padding to gpiochip_info, as I haven't seen any calls
for new features for the corresponding ioctl, but I'm open to updating that
as well.
As the majority of the structs and ioctls were being replaced, it seemed
opportune to rework some of the other aspects of the uAPI.
Firstly, I've reworked the flags field throughout. V1 has three different
flags fields, each with their own separate bit definitions. In V2 that is
collapsed to one. Further, the bits of the V2 flags field are used
as feature enable flags, with any other necessary configuration fields encoded
separately. This is simpler and clearer, while also providing a foundation
for adding features in the future.
I've also merged the handle and event requests into a single request, the
line request, as the two requests where mostly the same, other than the
edge detection provided by event requests. As a byproduct, the V2 uAPI
allows for multiple lines producing edge events on the same line handle.
This is a new capability as V1 only supports a single line in an event
request.
This means there are now only two types of file handle to be concerned with,
the chip and the line, and it is clearer which ioctls apply to which type
of handle.
There is also some minor renaming of fields for consistency compared to their
V1 counterparts, e.g. offset rather than lineoffset or line_offset, and
consumer rather than consumer_label.
Additionally, V1 GPIOHANDLES_MAX becomes GPIOLINES_MAX in V2 for clarity,
and the gpiohandle_data __u8 array becomes a bitmap gpioline_values.
The V2 uAPI is mostly just a reorganisation of V1, so userspace code,
particularly libgpiod, should easily port to it.
The padding sizes have been carried over from the RFC version, although the
seqnos added to the gpioline_event alone would've used the all of the padding
for that struct, had they not been added here. So I'm moderatly concerned
that those values are too small due to a lack of imagination on may part and
should be increased to decrease the probability of running out of space in
the padding and requiring creative solutions or even a V3.
Changes since the RFC:
- document the constraints on array sizes to maintain 32/64 alignment
- add sequence numbers to gpioline_event
- use bitmap for values instead of array of __u8
- gpioline_info_v2 contains gpioline_config instead of its composite fields
- provide constants for all array sizes, especially padding
- renamed "GPIOLINE_FLAG_V2_KERNEL" to "GPIOLINE_FLAG_V2_USED"
- renamed "default_values" to "values"
- made gpioline_direction zero based
- document clock used in gpioline_event timestamp
- add event_buffer_size to gpioline_request
