Core and userspace API:
- The userspace API KFIFOs have been imoproved with locks that
do not block interrupts. This makes us better at getting
events to userspace without blocking or disturbing new events
arriving in the same time. This was reviewed by the KFIFO
maintainer Stefani. This is a generic improvement which
paves the road for similar improvements in other subsystems.
- We provide a new ioctl() for monitoring changes in the line
information, such as when multiple clients are taking lines
and giving them back, possibly reconfiguring them in the
process: we can now monitor that and not get stuck with stale
static information.
- An example tool 'gpio-watch' is provided to showcase this
functionality.
- Timestamps for events are switched to ktime_get_ns() which is
monotonic. We previously had a 'realtime' stamp which could
move forward and *backward* in time, which probably would just
cause silent bugs and weird behaviour. In the long run we
see two relevant timestamps: ktime_get_ns() or the timestamp
sometimes provided by the GPIO hardware itself, if that
exists.
- Device Tree overlay support for GPIO hogs. On systems that
load overlays, these overlays can now contain hogs, and will
then be respected.
- Handle pin control interaction with nonexisting pin ranges
in the GPIO library core instead of in the individual
drivers.
New drivers:
- New driver for the Mellanox BlueField 2 GPIO controller.
Driver improvements:
- Introduce the BGPIOF_NO_SET_ON_INPUT flag to the generic
MMIO GPIO library and use this flag in the MT7621 driver.
- Texas Instruments OMAP CPU power management improvements,
such as blocking of idle on pending GPIO interrupts.
