/**
 * \file
 * \brief Event-group APIs
 *
 * This file contains the interface for an event-group API, implemented in the
 * `event_group` library, which provides a mechanism for wait for one or more
 * events from a set of 24 to occur.
 *
 * This API is provided to ease porting from FreeRTOS.  The event group
 * abstraction is not a good design and is difficult to use correctly.  It is
 * not recommended for new code.  CHERIoT RTOS provides a futex as the
 * low-level primitive on which event groups are implemented.  For new code,
 * you will almost certainly be able to build a cleaner and less error-prone
 * abstraction on top of futexes directly.

/**
 * Wait for events in an event group.  The `bitsWanted` argument must contain
 * at least one bit set in the low 24 bits (and none in the high bits).  This
 * indicates the specific events to wait for.  If `waitForAll` is true then all
 * of the bits in `bitsWanted` must be set in the event group before this
 * returns.  If `waitForAll` is false then any of the bits in `bitsWanted`
 * being set in the event group will cause this to return.
 *
 * If this returns zero then `outBits` will contain the bits that were set at
 * the time that the condition became true.  If this returns `-ETIMEDOUT` then
 * `outBits` will contain the bits that were set at the time that the timeout
 * expired.
 *
 * Note: `waitForAll` requires all bits to be set *at the same time*.  This
 * makes it trivial to introduce race conditions if used with multiple waiters
 * and `clearOnExit`, or if different threads clear different bits in the
 * waited set.
 *
 * If `clearOnExit` is true and this returns successfully then the bits in
 * `bitsWanted` will be cleared in the event group before this returns.
