Initialize mutexes and condition variables in attach and not in the
asynchronously started kernel thread.
Increase BMC spin timeout from 5ms to 15ms, this is necessary to detect
the BMC in a HP ML110G4 reliably.
Implement non-linear sensors as defined in IPMIv2.0 with some crude
32.32 fixed point arithmetic. This adds some small errors as logarithm
and power functions are only approximated.
Fix sensor index mapping so that sensor limits are computed correctly.
device registers with a mutex. Convert tsleep/wakeup calls to
cv_wait/cv_signal.
Do not repeatedly malloc/free tiny buffers for sending/receiving
commands, but reserve a command buffer in the softc.
Tickle the watchdog in the sensors-refreshing thread.
I am fairly certain that after the device is attached, every register
access happens in the sensors-refreshing thread. Moreover, no
software interrupt touches any register, now. So I may get rid of
the mutex that protects register accesses, sc_cmd_mtx.

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.
This branch was a major cleanup and rototill of many of the various OEA
cpu based PPC ports that focused on sharing as much code as possible
between the various ports to eliminate near-identical copies of files in
every tree. Additionally there is a new PIC system that unifies the
interface to interrupt code for all different OEA ppc arches. The work
for this branch was done by a variety of people, too long to list here.
TODO:
bebox still needs work to complete the transition to -renovation.
ofppc still needs a bunch of work, which I will be looking at.
ev64260 still needs to be renovated
amigappc was not attempted.
NOTES:
pmppc was removed as an arch, and moved to a evbppc target.
(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).
SMBios detection and mapping to bios32.c, also from OpenBSD (for now this
is only compiled in if ipmi(4) is configured). The sensors and watchdog are
accessible though envsys(4).
Works on i386; some work is needed on amd64 to access the BIOS. It would
eventually work on Xen if the SMBios is accessible (to be tested).
