Commit Message

Gupta, Akshay March 3, 2025, 10:58 a.m. UTC
The present sbrmi module only support reporting power via hwmon.
However, AMD data center range of processors support various
system management functionality using custom protocols defined in
Advanced Platform Management Link (APML) specification.

Register a miscdevice, which creates a device /dev/sbrmiX with an IOCTL
interface for the user space to invoke the APML Mailbox protocol, which
is already defined in sbrmi_mailbox_xfer().

The APML protocols depend on a set of RMI registers. Having an IOCTL
as a single entry point will help in providing synchronization among
these protocols as multiple transactions on RMI register set may
create race condition.
Support for other protocols will be added in subsequent patches.

Open-sourced and widely used https://github.com/amd/esmi_oob_library
will continue to provide user-space programmable API.

This is not how ioctl commands work: you need to check the
'cmd' argument, which includes the length of the data.

copy_struct_from_user() makes no sense here since the length
is fixed (for a given command).

This looks like you are blindly passing through any command
from userspace, which is generally not the preferred way.

Usually this should be a known set of high-level commands
accepted by the driver.

Change this to

.compat_ioctl = compat_ptr_ioctl,

What is 'dev_static_addr'? Usually you want a miscdevice to 
have a constant name and a static structure definition, not
dynamic allocation.

Are there multiple devices of this type in a given system?

You normally want to have the in-kernel data aligned. Even
if userspace has it at a misaligned offset, it will still
work without the __packed.

will add check in ioctl for 'cmd'. Thank you.

will modify it to use copy_from_user and size using the _IOC_SIZE(cmd)

Yes, there can be multiple devices on the basis of number of nodes.
