iio: Add output buffer support

Currently IIO only supports buffer mode for capture devices like ADCs. Add
support for buffered mode for output devices like DACs.

The output buffer implementation is analogous to the input buffer
implementation. Instead of using read() to get data from the buffer write()
is used to copy data into the buffer.

poll() with POLLOUT will wakeup if there is space available.

Drivers can remove data from a buffer using iio_pop_from_buffer(), the
function can e.g. called from a trigger handler to write the data to
hardware.

A buffer can only be either a output buffer or an input, but not both. So,
for a device that has an ADC and DAC path, this will mean 2 IIO buffers
(one for each direction).

The direction of the buffer is decided by the new direction field of the
iio_buffer struct and should be set after allocating and before registering
it.

iio: buffer: fix use-after-free for attached_buffers array

Thanks to Lars for finding this.
The free of the 'attached_buffers' array should be done as late as
possible. This change moves it to iio_buffers_put(), which looks like
the best place for it, since it takes place right before the IIO device
data is free'd.
The free of this array will be handled by calling iio_device_free().
The iio_buffers_put() function is renamed to iio_device_detach_buffers()
since the role of this function changes a bit.

It looks like this issue was ocurring on the error path of
iio_buffers_alloc_sysfs_and_mask() and in
iio_buffers_free_sysfs_and_mask()

Added a comment in the doc-header of iio_device_attach_buffer() to
mention how this will be free'd in case anyone is reading the code
and becoming confused about it.

iio: buffer: add ioctl() to support opening extra buffers for IIO device

With this change, an ioctl() call is added to open a character device for a
buffer. The ioctl() number is 'i' 0x91, which follows the
IIO_GET_EVENT_FD_IOCTL ioctl.

The ioctl() will return an FD for the requested buffer index. The indexes
are the same from the /sys/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/bufferY (i.e. the Y
variable).

Since there doesn't seem to be a sane way to return the FD for buffer0 to
be the same FD for the /dev/iio:deviceX, this ioctl() will return another
FD for buffer0 (or the first buffer). This duplicate FD will be able to
access the same buffer object (for buffer0) as accessing directly the
/dev/iio:deviceX chardev.

Also, there is no IIO_BUFFER_GET_BUFFER_COUNT ioctl() implemented, as the
index for each buffer (and the count) can be deduced from the
'/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/bufferY' folders (i.e the number of
bufferY folders).

Used following C code to test this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <fcntl.h"
#include <errno.h>

#define IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL _IOWR('i', 0x91, int)

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int fd;
int fd1;
int ret;

if ((fd = open("/dev/iio:device0", O_RDWR))<0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error open() %d errno %d\n",fd, errno);
return -1;
}

fprintf(stderr, "Using FD %d\n", fd);

fd1 = atoi(argv[1]);

ret = ioctl(fd, IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL, &fd1);
if (ret < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error for buffer %d ioctl() %d errno %d\n", fd1, ret, errno);
close(fd);
return -1;
}

fprintf(stderr, "Got FD %d\n", fd1);

close(fd1);
close(fd);

return 0;
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Results are:

# ee708e6b 14-Feb-2021 Alexandru Ardelean <alexandru.ardelean@analog.com>

iio: buffer: introduce support for attaching more IIO buffers

With this change, calling iio_device_attach_buffer() will actually attach
more buffers.
Right now this doesn't do any validation of whether a buffer is attached
twice; maybe that can be added later (if needed). Attaching a buffer more
than once should yield noticeably bad results.

The first buffer is the legacy buffer, so a reference is kept to it.

At this point, accessing the data for the extra buffers (that are added
after the first one) isn't possible yet.

The iio_device_attach_buffer() is also changed to return an error code,
which for now is -ENOMEM if the array could not be realloc-ed for more
buffers.
To adapt to this new change iio_device_attach_buffer() is called last in
all place where it's called. The realloc failure is a bit difficult to
handle during un-managed calls when unwinding, so it's better to have this
as the last error in the setup_buffer calls.

At this point, no driver should call iio_device_attach_buffer() directly,
it should call one of the {devm_}iio_triggered_buffer_setup() or
devm_iio_kfifo_buffer_setup() or devm_iio_dmaengine_buffer_setup()
functions. This makes iio_device_attach_buffer() a bit easier to handle.

iio: core: wrap iio device & buffer into struct for character devices

In order to keep backwards compatibility with the current chardev
mechanism, and in order to add support for multiple buffers per IIO device,
we need to pass both the IIO device & IIO buffer to the chardev.

This is particularly needed for the iio_buffer_read_outer() function, where
we need to pass another buffer object than 'indio_dev->buffer'.

Since we'll also open some chardevs via anon inodes, we can pass extra
buffers in that function by assigning another object to the
iio_dev_buffer_pair object.

iio: add reference to iio buffer on iio_dev_attr

This change adds a reference to a 'struct iio_buffer' object on the
iio_dev_attr object. This way, we can use the created iio_dev_attr objects
on per-buffer basis (since they're allocated anyway).

A minor downside of this change is that the number of parameters on
__iio_add_chan_devattr() grows by 1. This looks like it could do with a bit
of a re-think.

iio: core: rework iio device group creation

Up until now, the device groups that an IIO device had were limited to 6.
Two of these groups would account for buffer attributes (the buffer/ and
scan_elements/ directories).

Since we want to add multiple buffers per IIO device, this number may not
be enough, when adding a second buffer. So, this change reallocates the
groups array whenever an IIO device group is added, via a
iio_device_register_sysfs_group() helper.

This also means that the groups array should be assigned to
'indio_dev.dev.groups' really late, right before {cdev_}device_add() is
called to do the entire setup.
And we also must take care to free this array when the sysfs resources are
being cleaned up.

With this change we can also move the 'groups' & 'groupcounter' fields to
the iio_dev_opaque object. Up until now, this didn't make a whole lot of
sense (especially since we weren't sure how multibuffer support would look
like in the end).
But doing it now kills one birds with one stone.

An alternative, would be to add a configurable Kconfig symbol
CONFIG_IIO_MAX_BUFFERS_PER_DEVICE (or something like that) and compute a
static maximum of the groups we can support per IIO device. But that would
probably annoy a few people since that would make the system less
configurable.

# 8dedcc3e 24-Sep-2020 Alexandru Ardelean <alexandru.ardelean@analog.com>

iio: core: centralize ioctl() calls to the main chardev

The aim of this is to improve a bit the organization of ioctl() calls in
IIO core. Currently the chardev is split across IIO core sub-modules/files.
The main chardev has to be able to handle ioctl() calls, and if we need to
add buffer ioctl() calls, this would complicate things.

The 'industrialio-core.c' file will provide a 'iio_device_ioctl()' which
will iterate over a list of ioctls registered with the IIO device. These
can be event ioctl() or buffer ioctl() calls, or something else.

Each ioctl() handler will have to return a IIO_IOCTL_UNHANDLED code (which
is positive 1), if the ioctl() did not handle the call in any. This
eliminates any potential ambiguities about negative error codes, which
should fail the call altogether.

If any ioctl() returns 0, it was considered that it was serviced
successfully and the loop will exit.

This change also moves the handling of the IIO_GET_EVENT_FD_IOCTL command
inside 'industrialio-event.c', where this is better suited.

This patch is a combination of 2 other patches from an older series:

# 3e1b6c95 26-Nov-2014 Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de>

iio: Move buffer registration to the core

Originally device and buffer registration were kept as separate operations
in IIO to allow to register two distinct sets of channels for buffered and
non-buffered operations. This has since already been further restricted and
the channel set registered for the buffer needs to be a subset of the
channel set registered for the device. Additionally the possibility to not
have a raw (or processed) attribute for a channel which was registered for
the device was added a while ago. This means it is possible to not register
any device level attributes for a channel even if it is registered for the
device. Also if a channel's scan_index is set to -1 and the channel is
registered for the buffer it is ignored.

So in summary it means it is possible to register the same channel array for
both the device and the buffer yet still end up with distinctive sets of
channels for both of them. This makes the argument for having to have to
manually register the channels for both the device and the buffer invalid.
Considering that the vast majority of all drivers want to register the same
set of channels for both the buffer and the device it makes sense to move
the buffer registration into the core to avoid some boiler-plate code in the
device driver setup path.
