This is a pre-requisite to upstreaming GAUDI support. Signal/wait operations are done by the user to perform sync between two Primary Queues (PQs). The sync is done using the sync manager and it is usually resolved inside the device, but sometimes it can be resolved in the host, i.e. the user should be able to wait in the host until a signal has been completed. The mechanism to define signal and wait operations is done by the driver because it needs atomicity and serialization, which is already done in the driver when submitting work to the different queues. To implement this feature, the driver "takes" a couple of h/w resources, and this is reflected by the defines added to the uapi file. The signal/wait operations are done via the existing CS IOCTL, and they use the same data structure. There is a difference in the meaning of some of the parameters, and for that we added unions to make the code more readable.

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.
