Subject: LinuxPPS (RESUBMIT 2): the PPS Linux implementation.

This patch set adds the PPS support into Linux.

PPS means "pulse per second" and its API is specified by RFC 2783
(Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating Systems, Version 1.0).

The code has been tested with the NTPD program
(http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/index.html) and several GPS
antennae.

Subject: [PATCH 1/7] LinuxPPS core support.

This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named
"LinuxPPS".

PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which
provides a high precision signal each second so that an application
can use it to adjust system clock time.

Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a
GPS receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with
sub-millisecond synchronisation to UTC.

To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API
specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating
Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It
provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used
to get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by
accessing to these char devices.

+ PPS - Pulse Per Second

+
+Overview
+--------
+
+LinuxPPS provides a programming interface (API) to define into the
+system several PPS sources.
+
+PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which
+provides a high precision signal each second so that an application
+can use it to adjust system clock time.
+
+A PPS source can be connected to a serial port (usually to the Data
+Carrier Detect pin) or to a parallel port (ACK-pin) or to a special
+CPU's GPIOs (this is the common case in embedded systems) but in each
+case when a new pulse comes the system must apply to it a timestamp
+and record it for the userland.
+
+Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a
+GPS receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with
+sub-millisecond synchronisation to UTC.
+
+
+RFC considerations
+------------------
+
+While implementing a PPS API as RFC 2783 defines and using an embedded
+CPU GPIO-Pin as physical link to the signal, I encountered a deeper
+problem:
+
+ At startup it needs a file descriptor as argument for the function
+ time_pps_create().
+
+This implies that the source has a /dev/... entry. This assumption is
+ok for the serial and parallel port, where you can do something
+useful besides(!) the gathering of timestamps as it is the central
+task for a PPS-API. But this assumption does not work for a single
+purpose GPIO line. In this case even basic file-related functionality
+(like read() and write()) makes no sense at all and should not be a
+precondition for the use of a PPS-API.
+
+The problem can be simply solved if you consider that a PPS source is
+not always connected with a GPS data source.
+
+So your programs should check if the GPS data source (the serial port
+for instance) is a PPS source too, otherwise they should provide the
+possibility to open another device as PPS source.
+
+In LinuxPPS the PPS sources are simply char devices usually mapped
+into files /dev/pps0, /dev/pps1, etc..
+
+
+Coding example
+--------------
+
+To register a PPS source into the kernel you should define a struct
+pps_source_info_s as follow:
+
+ static struct pps_source_info pps_ktimer_info = {
+ .name = "ktimer",
+ .path = "",
+ .mode = PPS_CAPTUREASSERT | PPS_OFFSETASSERT | \
+ PPS_ECHOASSERT | \
+ PPS_CANWAIT | PPS_TSFMT_TSPEC,
+ .echo = pps_ktimer_echo,
+ .owner = THIS_MODULE,
+ };
+
+and then calling the function pps_register_source() in your
+intialization routine as follow:
+
+ source = pps_register_source(&pps_ktimer_info,
+ PPS_CAPTUREASSERT | PPS_OFFSETASSERT);
+
+The pps_register_source() prototype is:
+
+ int pps_register_source(struct pps_source_info_s *info, int default_params)
+
+where "info" is a pointer to a structure that describes a particular
+PPS source, "default_params" tells the system what the initial default
+parameters for the device should be (is obvious that these parameters
+must be a subset of ones defined into the struct
+pps_source_info_s which describe the capabilities of the driver).
+
+Once you have registered a new PPS source into the system you can
+signal an assert event (for example in the interrupt handler routine)
+just using:
+
+ pps_event(source, PPS_CAPTUREASSERT, ptr);
+
+The same function may also run the defined echo function
+(pps_ktimer_echo(), passing to it the "ptr" pointer) if the user
+asked for that... etc..
+
+Please see the file drivers/pps/clients/ktimer.c for example code.
+
+
+SYSFS support
+-------------
+
+If the SYSFS filesystem is enabled in the kernel it provides a new class:
+
+ $ ls /sys/class/pps/
+ pps0/ pps1/ pps2/
+
+Every directory is the ID of a PPS sources defined into the system and
+inside you find several files:
+
+ $ ls /sys/class/pps/pps0/
+ assert clear echo mode name path subsystem@ uevent
+
+Inside each "assert" and "clear" file you can find the timestamp and a
+sequence number:
+
+ $ cat /sys/class/pps/pps0/assert
+ 1170026870.983207967#8
+
+Where before the "#" is the timestamp in seconds and after it is the
+sequence number. Other files are:
+
+* echo: reports if the PPS source has an echo function or not;
+
+* mode: reports available PPS functioning modes;
+
+* name: reports the PPS source's name;
+
+* path: reports the PPS source's device path, that is the device the
+ PPS source is connected to (if it exists).
+
+
+Testing the PPS support
+-----------------------
+
+In order to test the PPS support even without specific hardware you can use
+the ktimer driver (see the client subsection in the PPS configuration menu)
+and the userland tools provided into Documentaion/pps/ directory.
+
+Once you have enabled the compilation of ktimer just modprobe it (if
+not statically compiled):
+
+ # modprobe ktimer
+
+and the run ppstest as follow:
+
+ $ ./ppstest /dev/pps0
+ trying PPS source "/dev/pps1"
+ found PPS source "/dev/pps1"
+ ok, found 1 source(s), now start fetching data...
+ source 0 - assert 1186592699.388832443, sequence: 364 - clear 0.000000000, sequence: 0
+ source 0 - assert 1186592700.388931295, sequence: 365 - clear 0.000000000, sequence: 0
+ source 0 - assert 1186592701.389032765, sequence: 366 - clear 0.000000000, sequence: 0
+
+Please, note that to compile userland programs you need the file timepps.h
+(see Documentation/pps/).

Subject: [PATCH 4/7] PPS: LinuxPPS clients support.

Each PPS source can be registered/deregistered into the system by
using special modules called "clients". They simply define the PPS
sources' attributes and implement the time signal registartion
mechanism.

This patch adds a special directory for such clients and adds a dummy
client that can be useful to test system integrity on real systems.

Subject: [PATCH 3/7] PPS: documentation programs and examples.

Here some utilities and examples about the PPS API and the LinuxPPS
support.

* ppstest.c implements an useful testing program, while

* ppsfind tries to help the user into finding a specific PPS source by
using its name or path.

I looked it over a few times now, and didn't find anything objectionable.
But then, your standards are always somewhat higher than mine :)

umm, why are we hard-wiring "/dev" into the kernel source? Is it just for
user-friendly printks?

Please never implement in cpp that which can be implemented in C. These
should have been static inlines. That's nicer, matches the
CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_UART=y code and provides type checking.

This name is insufficiently specific. Not only does it risk linkage
errors, it makes it ahrd for poeple to work out where the symbol came from.

I renamed it to pps_idr_lock.

The wait_event() stuff really shouldn't be here: it should be integral to
the refcounting:

void pps_dev_put(struct pps_device *pps)
{
spin_lock_irq(&pps_lock);
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&pps->usage))
idr_remove(&pps_idr, pps->id);
else
pps = NULL;
spin_unlock_irq(&pps_lock);
if (pps) {
/*
* Might need to do the below via schedule_work() if
* pps_dev_put() is to be callable from atomic context
*/
pps_sysfs_remove_source_entry(pps);
pps_unregister_cdev(pps);
kfree(pps);
}
}

As it stands, there might be deadlocks such as when a process which itself
holds a ref on the pps_device (with an open fd?) calls
pps_unregister_source.

Also, we need to take care that all processes which were waiting in
pps_unregister_source() get to finish their cleanup before we permit rmmod
to proceed. Is that handled somewhere?

> +void pps_event(int source, int event, void *data)

Please document the API in the kernel source. I realise there's a teeny
bit of documentation in pps.txt, but people don't think to look there and
it tends to go out of date.

It doesn't have to be fancy formal kerneldoc - it's better to add *good*
comments which tell people what they need to know. For some reason people
seem to add useless obvious stuff when they do their comments in kerneldoc
form.

The above pattern is repeated rather a lot and could perhaps be extracted
into a nice pps_dev_get() helper.

That looks a bit odd. How can the pps_device not be registered in the IDR
tree at this stage?

It's nice to avoid sprinkling #includes throughout the file, please.

Any specific reason you are creating the group by hand, and not assign
it to the default group in your class? It would will let the core
handle it for you. The device add uevent to userspace will happen
before you added the attributes, which is usually not nice.

Why is an entire class embedded into every device? :)

No any specific reason... I just supposed it was the-right-think(TM)!
:)

Can you please suggest me an URL where I can see how to rework the
code?

Are you saying that I should do:

static inline int
uart_register_pps_port(struct uart_state *state, struct uart_port *port)
{
/* Nop */
}

static inline void
uart_unregister_pps_port(struct uart_state *state, struct uart_port *port)
{
/* Nop */
}

?

You can assign class->dev_attrs the array of attributes, and the driver
core will create these attributes for all devices that get registered
with that class. See: drivers/base/core.c :: device_add_attrs().

It looks wrong. Do you use it for anything? I guess, you can just remove
it.

Fixed, I'll provide a new patch ASAP.

Yes. Tested.

I don't understand where I should use this function... :'(

I can add a wait_event_interruptible in order to allow userland to
continue by receiving a signal. It could be acceptable?

I don't understand the problem... this code as been added in order to
avoid the case where a pps_event() is called while a process executes
the pps_unregister_source(). If more processes try to execute this
code the first which enters will execute idr_remove() which prevents
another process to reach the wait_event()... is that wrong? =:-o

Here my proposal. It could be enought? :)

This is needed in this scenario: a process just enters into
pps_unregister_source() while another one is executing pps_cdev_open()
on the same PPS source. We cannot open an unregistered source...

I just fixed all your suggestions (apart what reported above) and I'm
ready to propose a new patch set.

Please let me know what else should I fix and if the proposed inline
documentation is ok.

Ciao,

This is boilerplate standard linux kernel reference counting.

There should be no need to "wait" for anything. When the final reference
to an object is released, that object is cleaned up. Just like we do for
inodes, dentries, pages, files, and 100 other kernel objects.

The need to wait for something else to go away is a big red flag with
"busted refcounting" written on it.

I was asking you!

We should get the reference counting and object lifetimes sorted out first.
There should be no "wait for <object> to be released" code. Once that is
in place, things like rmmod will also sort themselves out: it just won't be
possible to remove the module while there are live references to objects.
