iio: Move generic buffer implementations to sub-directory For generic IIO trigger implementations we already have a sub-directory, but the generic buffer implementations currently reside in the IIO top-level directory. The main reason is that things have historically grown into this form. With more generic buffer implementations on its way now is the perfect time to clean this up and introduce a sub-directory for generic buffer implementations to avoid too much clutter in the top-level directory.

iio: Add generic DMA buffer infrastructure The traditional approach used in IIO to implement buffered capture requires the generation of at least one interrupt per sample. In the interrupt handler the driver reads the sample from the device and copies it to a software buffer. This approach has a rather large per sample overhead associated with it. And while it works fine for samplerates in the range of up to 1000 samples per second it starts to consume a rather large share of the available CPU processing time once we go beyond that, this is especially true on an embedded system with limited processing power. The regular interrupt also causes increased power consumption by not allowing the hardware into deeper sleep states, which is something that becomes more and more important on mobile battery powered devices. And while the recently added watermark support mitigates some of the issues by allowing the device to generate interrupts at a rate lower than the data output rate, this still requires a storage buffer inside the device and even if it exists it is only a few 100 samples deep at most. DMA support on the other hand allows to capture multiple millions or even more samples without any CPU interaction. This allows the CPU to either go to sleep for longer periods or focus on other tasks which increases overall system performance and power consumption. In addition to that some devices might not even offer a way to read the data other than using DMA, which makes DMA mandatory to use for them. The tasks involved in implementing a DMA buffer can be divided into two categories. The first category is memory buffer management (allocation, mapping, etc.) and hooking this up the IIO buffer callbacks like read(), enable(), disable(), etc. The second category of tasks is to setup the DMA hardware and manage the DMA transfers. Tasks from the first category will be very similar for all IIO drivers supporting DMA buffers, while the tasks from the second category will be hardware specific. This patch implements a generic infrastructure that take care of the former tasks. It provides a set of functions that implement the standard IIO buffer iio_buffer_access_funcs callbacks. These can either be used as is or be overloaded and augmented with driver specific code where necessary. For the DMA buffer support infrastructure that is introduced in this series sample data is grouped by so called blocks. A block is the basic unit at which data is exchanged between the application and the hardware. The application is responsible for allocating the memory associated with the block and then passes the block to the hardware. When the hardware has captured the amount of samples equal to size of a block it will notify the application, which can then read the data from the block and process it. The block size can freely chosen (within the constraints of the hardware). This allows to make a trade-off between latency and management overhead. The larger the block size the lower the per sample overhead but the latency between when the data was captured and when the application will be able to access it increases, in a similar way smaller block sizes have a larger per sample management overhead but a lower latency. The ideal block size thus depends on system and application requirements. For the time being the infrastructure only implements a simple double buffered scheme which allocates two blocks each with half the size of the configured buffer size. This provides basic support for capturing continuous uninterrupted data over the existing file-IO ABI. Future extensions to the DMA buffer infrastructure will give applications a more fine grained control over how many blocks are allocated and the size of each block. But this requires userspace ABI additions which are intentionally not part of this patch and will be added separately. Tasks of the second category need to be implemented by a device specific driver. They can be hooked up into the generic infrastructure using two simple callbacks, submit() and abort(). The submit() callback is used to schedule DMA transfers for blocks. Once a DMA transfer has been completed it is expected that the buffer driver calls iio_dma_buffer_block_done() to notify. The abort() callback is used for stopping all pending and active DMA transfers when the buffer is disabled.

iio: Add a DMAengine framework based buffer Add a generic fully device independent DMA buffer implementation that uses the DMAegnine framework to perform the DMA transfers. This can be used by converter drivers that whish to provide a DMA buffer for converters that are connected to a DMA core that implements the DMAengine API. Apart from allocating the buffer using iio_dmaengine_buffer_alloc() and freeing it using iio_dmaengine_buffer_free() no additional converter driver specific code is required when using this DMA buffer implementation.
