* \brief Events handling
*
* This module implements a common system for executing
* a user defined action calling a hook function.
*
- * \version $Id$

- * \author Bernardo Innocenti <bernie@develer.com>
+ * Device drivers often need to wait the completion of some event, usually to
+ * allow the hardware to accomplish some asynchronous task.
+ *
+ * A common approach is to place a busy wait with a cpu_relax() loop that invokes
+ * the architecture-specific instructions to say that we're not doing much with
+ * the processor.
+ *
+ * Although technically correct, the busy loop degrades the overall system
+ * performance in presence of multiple processes and power consumption.
+ *
+ * With the kernel the natural way to implement such wait/complete mechanism is to
+ * use signals via sig_wait() and sig_post()/sig_send().
+ *
+ * However, signals in BeRTOS are only available in presence of the kernel (that
+ * is just a compile-time option). This means that each device driver must provide
+ * two different interfaces to implement the wait/complete semantic: one with the
+ * kernel and another without the kernel.
+ *
+ * The purpose of the completion events is to provide a generic interface to
+ * implement a synchronization mechanism to block the execution of code until a
+ * specific event happens.
+ *
+ * This interface does not depend on the presence of the kernel and it
+ * automatically uses the appropriate event backend to provide the same
+ * behaviour with or without the kernel.
+ *
+ * Example usage (wait for a generic device driver initialization):
+ * \code
+ * static Event e;
+ *
+ * static void irq_handler(void)
+ * {
+ * // Completion event has happened, resume the execution of init()
+ * event_do(&e);
+ * }
+ *
+ * static void init(void)
+ * {
+ * // Declare the generic completion event
+ * event_initGeneric(&e);
+ * // Submit the hardware initialization request
+ * async_hw_init();
+ * // Wait for the completion of the event
+ * event_wait(&e);
+ * }
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * Example usage: wait multiple generic events via event_select()
+ * \code
+ * Event ev1;
+ * Event ev2;
+ *
+ * void event_notifier(void)
+ * {
+ * Event *evs[] = { &ev1, &ev2 };
+ *
+ * event_initGeneric(&ev1);
+ * event_initGeneric(&ev2);
+ *
+ * while (1)
+ * {
+ * int id = event_select(evs, countof(evs),
+ * ms_to_ticks(100));
+ * if (id < 0)
+ * {
+ * kprintf("no IRQ\n");
+ * continue;
+ * }
+ * kprintf("IRQ %d happened\n", id);
+ * }
+ * }
+ *
+ * void irq1_handler(void)
+ * {
+ * // do something
+ * ...
+ *
+ * // notify the completion of event 1
+ * event_do(&ev1);
+ * }
+ *
+ * void irq2_handler(void)
+ * {
+ * // do something
+ * ...
+ *
+ * // notify the completion of event 2
+ * event_do(&ev2);
+ * }
+ * \endcode
