Xabier Marquiegui says: ==================== ptp: Support for multiple filtered timestamp event queue readers On systems with multiple timestamp event channels, there can be scenarios where multiple userspace readers want to access the timestamping data for various purposes. One such example is wanting to use a pps out for time synchronization, and wanting to timestamp external events with the synchronized time base simultaneously. Timestmp event consumers on the other hand, are often interested in a subset of the available timestamp channels. linuxptp ts2phc, for example, is not happy if more than one timestamping channel is active on the device it is reading from. Linked lists are introduced to support multiple timestamp event queue consumers, and timestamp event channel filters through IOCTLs, as well as a debugfs interface to do some simple verifications. Xabier Marquiegui (6): posix-clock: introduce posix_clock_context concept ptp: Replace timestamp event queue with linked list ptp: support multiple timestamp event readers ptp: support event queue reader channel masks ptp: add debugfs interface to see applied channel masks ptp: add testptp mask test drivers/ptp/ptp_chardev.c | 129 ++++++++++++++++---- drivers/ptp/ptp_clock.c | 45 ++++++- drivers/ptp/ptp_private.h | 28 +++-- drivers/ptp/ptp_sysfs.c | 13 +- include/linux/posix-clock.h | 35 ++++-- include/uapi/linux/ptp_clock.h | 2 + kernel/time/posix-clock.c | 36 ++++-- tools/testing/selftests/ptp/ptpchmaskfmt.sh | 14 +++ tools/testing/selftests/ptp/testptp.c | 19 ++- 9 files changed, 261 insertions(+), 60 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/ptp/ptpchmaskfmt.sh --- v6: - correct commit message - correct coding style v5: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/cover.1696804243.git.reibax@gmail.com/ - fix spelling on commit message - fix memory leak on ptp_open v4: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/cover.1696511486.git.reibax@gmail.com/ - split modifications in different patches for improved organization - rename posix_clock_user to posix_clock_context - remove unnecessary flush_users clock operation - remove unnecessary tests - simpler queue clean procedure - fix/clean comment lines - simplified release procedures - filter modifications exclusive to currently open instance for simplicity and security - expand mask to 2048 channels - make more secure and simple: mask is only applied to the testptp instance.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
