[PATCH v2 16/21] ipmi: kcs_bmc: Add a "raw" character device interface

Fri Mar 19 17:27:47 AEDT 2021
The existing IPMI chardev encodes IPMI behaviours as the name suggests.
However, KCS devices are useful beyond IPMI (or keyboards), as they
provide a means to generate IRQs and exchange arbitrary data between a
BMC and its host system.
Implement a "raw" KCS character device that exposes the IDR, ODR and STR
registers to userspace via read() and write() implemented on a character
device:
+--------+--------+---------+
| Offset | read() | write() |
+--------+--------+---------+
| 0 | IDR | ODR |
+--------+--------+---------+
| 1 | STR | STR |
+--------+--------+---------+
This interface allows userspace to implement arbitrary (though somewhat
inefficient) protocols for exchanging information between a BMC and host
firmware. Conceptually the KCS interface can be used as an out-of-band
machanism for interrupt-signaled control messages while bulk data
transfers occur over more appropriate interfaces between the BMC and the
host (which may lack their own interrupt mechanism, e.g. LPC FW cycles).
poll() is provided, which will wait for IBF or OBE conditions for data
reads and writes respectively. Reads of STR on its own never blocks,
though accessing both offsets in the one system call may block if the
data registers are not ready.

+Description: ``/dev/raw-kcs*`` exposes to userspace the data and
+ status registers of Keyboard-Controller-Style (KCS) IPMI
+ interfaces via read() and write() syscalls. Direct
+ exposure of the data and status registers enables
+ inefficient but arbitrary protocols to be implemented
+ over the device. A typical approach is to use KCS
+ devices for out-of-band signalling for bulk data
+ transfers over other interfaces between a Baseboard
+ Management Controller and its host.
