On systems with multiple timestamp event channels, some readers might want to receive only a subset of those channels. Add the necessary modifications to support timestamp event channel filtering, including two IOCTL operations: - Clear all channels - Enable one channel The mask modification operations will be applied exclusively on the event queue assigned to the file descriptor used on the IOCTL operation, so the typical procedure to have a reader receiving only a subset of the enabled channels would be: - Open device file - ioctl: clear all channels - ioctl: enable one channel - start reading Calling the enable one channel ioctl more than once will result in multiple enabled channels.

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.
