Pull hardware timestamping subsystem from Thierry Reding: "This contains the new HTE (hardware timestamping engine) subsystem that has been in the works for a couple of months now. The infrastructure provided allows for drivers to register as hardware timestamp providers, while consumers will be able to request events that they are interested in (such as GPIOs and IRQs) to be timestamped by the hardware providers. Note that this currently supports only one provider, but there seems to be enough interest in this functionality and we expect to see more drivers added once this is merged" [ Linus Walleij mentions the Intel PMC in the Elkhart and Tiger Lake platforms as another future timestamp provider ] * tag 'hte/for-5.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tegra/linux: dt-bindings: timestamp: Correct id path dt-bindings: Renamed hte directory to timestamp hte: Uninitialized variable in hte_ts_get() hte: Fix off by one in hte_push_ts_ns() hte: Fix possible use-after-free in tegra_hte_test_remove() hte: Remove unused including <linux/version.h> MAINTAINERS: Add HTE Subsystem hte: Add Tegra HTE test driver tools: gpio: Add new hardware clock type gpiolib: cdev: Add hardware timestamp clock type gpio: tegra186: Add HTE support gpiolib: Add HTE support dt-bindings: Add HTE bindings hte: Add Tegra194 HTE kernel provider drivers: Add hardware timestamp engine (HTE) subsystem Documentation: Add HTE subsystem guide

+============================================
+The Linux Hardware Timestamping Engine (HTE)
+============================================
+
+:Author: Dipen Patel
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Certain devices have built in hardware timestamping engines which can
+monitor sets of system signals, lines, buses etc... in realtime for state
+change; upon detecting the change they can automatically store the timestamp at
+the moment of occurrence. Such functionality may help achieve better accuracy
+in obtaining timestamps than using software counterparts i.e. ktime and
+friends.
+
+This document describes the API that can be used by hardware timestamping
+engine provider and consumer drivers that want to use the hardware timestamping
+engine (HTE) framework. Both consumers and providers must include
+``#include <linux/hte.h>``.
+
+The HTE framework APIs for the providers
+----------------------------------------
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/hte/hte.c
+ :functions: devm_hte_register_chip hte_push_ts_ns
+
+The HTE framework APIs for the consumers
+----------------------------------------
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/hte/hte.c
+ :functions: hte_init_line_attr hte_ts_get hte_ts_put devm_hte_request_ts_ns hte_request_ts_ns hte_enable_ts hte_disable_ts of_hte_req_count hte_get_clk_src_info
+
+The HTE framework public structures
+-----------------------------------
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/hte.h
+
+More on the HTE timestamp data
+------------------------------
+The ``struct hte_ts_data`` is used to pass timestamp details between the
+consumers and the providers. It expresses timestamp data in nanoseconds in
+u64. An example of the typical timestamp data life cycle, for the GPIO line is
+as follows::
+
+ - Monitors GPIO line change.
+ - Detects the state change on GPIO line.
+ - Converts timestamps in nanoseconds.
+ - Stores GPIO raw level in raw_level variable if the provider has that
+ hardware capability.
+ - Pushes this hte_ts_data object to HTE subsystem.
+ - HTE subsystem increments seq counter and invokes consumer provided callback.
+ Based on callback return value, the HTE core invokes secondary callback in
+ the thread context.
+
+HTE subsystem debugfs attributes
+--------------------------------
+HTE subsystem creates debugfs attributes at ``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/``.
+It also creates line/signal-related debugfs attributes at
+``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/<provider>/<label or line id>/``. Note that these
+attributes are read-only.
+
+`ts_requested`
+ The total number of entities requested from the given provider,
+ where entity is specified by the provider and could represent
+ lines, GPIO, chip signals, buses etc...
+ The attribute will be available at
+ ``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/<provider>/``.
+
+`total_ts`
+ The total number of entities supported by the provider.
+ The attribute will be available at
+ ``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/<provider>/``.
+
+`dropped_timestamps`
+ The dropped timestamps for a given line.
+ The attribute will be available at
+ ``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/<provider>/<label or line id>/``.

+HTE Kernel provider driver
+==========================
+
+Description
+-----------
+The Nvidia tegra194 HTE provider driver implements two GTE
+(Generic Timestamping Engine) instances: 1) GPIO GTE and 2) LIC
+(Legacy Interrupt Controller) IRQ GTE. Both GTE instances get the
+timestamp from the system counter TSC which has 31.25MHz clock rate, and the
+driver converts clock tick rate to nanoseconds before storing it as timestamp
+value.
+
+GPIO GTE
+--------
+
+This GTE instance timestamps GPIO in real time. For that to happen GPIO
+needs to be configured as input. The always on (AON) GPIO controller instance
+supports timestamping GPIOs in real time and it has 39 GPIO lines. The GPIO GTE
+and AON GPIO controller are tightly coupled as it requires very specific bits
+to be set in GPIO config register before GPIO GTE can be used, for that GPIOLIB
+adds two optional APIs as below. The GPIO GTE code supports both kernel
+and userspace consumers. The kernel space consumers can directly talk to HTE
+subsystem while userspace consumers timestamp requests go through GPIOLIB CDEV
+framework to HTE subsystem.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c
+ :functions: gpiod_enable_hw_timestamp_ns gpiod_disable_hw_timestamp_ns
+
+For userspace consumers, GPIO_V2_LINE_FLAG_EVENT_CLOCK_HTE flag must be
+specified during IOCTL calls. Refer to ``tools/gpio/gpio-event-mon.c``, which
+returns the timestamp in nanoseconds.
+
+LIC (Legacy Interrupt Controller) IRQ GTE
+-----------------------------------------
+
+This GTE instance timestamps LIC IRQ lines in real time. There are 352 IRQ
+lines which this instance can add timestamps to in real time. The hte
+devicetree binding described at ``Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hte/``
+provides an example of how a consumer can request an IRQ line. Since it is a
+one-to-one mapping with IRQ GTE provider, consumers can simply specify the IRQ
+number that they are interested in. There is no userspace consumer support for
+this GTE instance in the HTE framework.
+
+The provider source code of both IRQ and GPIO GTE instances is located at
+``drivers/hte/hte-tegra194.c``. The test driver
+``drivers/hte/hte-tegra194-test.c`` demonstrates HTE API usage for both IRQ
+and GPIO GTE.
