mainlining shenanigans
4b38a1dcf3
We can already enable and disable SAM events via one of two ways: either via a (non-observer) notifier tied to a specific event group, or a generic event enable/disable request. In some instances, however, neither method may be desirable. The first method will tie the event enable request to a specific notifier, however, when we want to receive notifications for multiple event groups of the same target category and forward this to the same notifier callback, we may receive duplicate events, i.e. one event per registered notifier. The second method will bypass the internal reference counting mechanism, meaning that a disable request will disable the event regardless of any other client driver using it, which may break the functionality of that driver. To address this problem, add new functions that allow enabling and disabling of events via the event reference counting mechanism built into the controller, without needing to register a notifier. This can then be used in combination with observer notifiers to process multiple events of the same target category without duplication in the same callback function.

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.
