sysmon_envsys_create() and sysmon_envsys_destroy() were added to
create/destroy sysmon_envsys objects (and its TAILQ/LIST for sensors/events).
sysmon_envsys_sensor_attach() and sysmon_envsys_sensor_detach() were
added to attach/detach sensors to a specified sysmon_envsys device.
The events framework is now per device and configurable via the
ENVSYS_SETDICTIONARY ioctl or /etc/envsys.conf and envstat(8).
Update all users and documentation to reflect these changes.
(Part 2: drivers)
* Support for detachable sensors.
* Cleaned up the API for simplicity and efficiency.
* Ability to send capacity/critical/warning events to powerd(8).
* Adapted all the code to the new locking order.
* Compatibility with the old envsys API: the ENVSYS_GTREINFO
and ENVSYS_GTREDATA ioctl(2)s are supported.
* Added support for a 'dictionary based communication channel' between
sysmon_power(9) and powerd(8), that means there is no 32 bytes event
size restriction anymore.
* Binary compatibility with old envstat(8) and powerd(8) via COMPAT_40.
* All drivers with the n^2 gtredata bug were fixed, PR kern/36226.
Tested by:
blymn: smsc(4).
bouyer: ipmi(4), mfi(4).
kefren: ug(4).
njoly: viaenv(4), adt7463.c.
riz: owtemp(4).
xtraeme: acpiacad(4), acpibat(4), acpitz(4), aiboost(4), it(4), lm(4).
* dev/ic/ug.c (main code shared by the attachments)
* dev/isa/ug_isa.c (isa attachment)
* dev/acpi/ug_acpi.c (acpi attachment)
That means that ug(4) can now be attached via ACPI.
Thanks to Mihai Chelaru for the good work.
