[PATCH v6 04/20] gpio: uapi: define uAPI v2

[Kent Gibson]

Add a new version of the uAPI to address existing 32/64-bit alignment
issues, add support for debounce and event sequence numbers, allow
requested lines with different configurations, 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 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. That creates problems for 32-bit apps
running on 64-bit kernels.  uAPI v2 addresses that particular issue, and
the problem more generally, by adding pad fields that explicitly pad
structs out to 64-bit 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 new structs have been analysed with pahole to ensure that they
are sized as expected and contain no implicit padding.

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 configurable attributes in
line config and reserved padding in all structs for future features.
Specifically, the line request, config, info, info_changed and event
structs receive updated versions and new ioctls.

As the majority of the structs and ioctls were being replaced, it is
opportune to rework some of the other aspects of the uAPI:

v1 has three different flags fields, each with their own separate
bit definitions.  In v2 that is collapsed to one - gpio_v2_line_flag.

The handle and event requests are merged into a single request, the line
request, as the two requests were 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.

As a consequence, 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 GPIO_V2_LINES_MAX in v2 for
clarity, and the gpiohandle_data __u8 array becomes a bitmap in
gpio_v2_line_values.

The v2 uAPI is mostly a reorganisation and extension of v1, so userspace
code, particularly libgpiod, should readily port to it.

Changes for v4:
 - clarify bitmap width in GPIO_V2_LINES_MAX description

Changes for v3:
 - relocated commentary into commit description
 - hard limit max requested lines to 64 so bitmaps always fit in a single
   u64.
 - prefix all v2 symbols with GPIO_V2
 - 64-bit flag values to ULL
 - use __aligned_u64 to ensure 64-bit fields are 64-bit aligned
 - support masked get values, as per set values.

Changes for v2:
 - lower case V1 and V2, except in capitalized names
 - hyphenate 32/64-bit
 - rename bitmap field to bits
 - drop PAD_SIZE consts in favour of hard coded numbers
 - sort includes
 - change config flags to __u64
 - increase padding of gpioline_event
 - relocate GPIOLINE_CHANGED enum into v2 section (is common with v1)
 - rework config to collapse direction, drive, bias and edge enums back
   into flags and add optional attributes that can be associated with a
   subset of the requested lines.

Changes for v1 (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
 - rename debounce to debounce_period
 - rename lines to num_lines
