v2 cover lirc scancode interface, and more

Introduce lirc scancode mode, use that to port lirc_zilog to rc-core using that interface, and then remove the lirc kernel api.

In summary:
- This removes the lirc staging directory.
- lirc IR TX can use in-kernel encoders for scancode encoding
- lirc_zilog uses the same interface
- lirc kapi (not uapi!) is gone
- The reading lirc scancode gives more information (e.g. protocol, toggle, repeat). So you can determine what protocol variant a remotes uses
- Line count is actually down and code cleaner (imo)
- The scancode interface can be used for cec keycode transmit.

On the cec keycode transmit I am hoping for feedback. Also I am ensure what to do with the new firmware file for the zilog_ir.

v2:
- Add MAINTAINERS entries
- Fixes for nec repeat
- Validate scancode for tx
- Minor bugfixes

PATCH v2 1/25 media: lirc: implement scancode sending

This introduces a new lirc mode: scancode. Any device which can send raw IR can now also send scancodes.

int main()

{
	int mode, fd = open("/dev/lirc0", O_RDWR);

        mode = LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE;
	if (ioctl(fd, LIRC_SET_SEND_MODE, &mode)) {
		// kernel too old or lirc does not support transmit
	}
	struct lirc_scancode scancode = {
		.scancode = 0x1e3d,
		.rc_proto = RC_PROTO_RC5,
	};
	write(fd, &scancode, sizeof(scancode));
	close(fd);
}

The other fields of lirc_scancode must be set to 0.

Note that toggle (rc5, rc6) and repeats (nec) are not implemented. Nor is there a method for holding down a key for a period.

PATCH v2 6/25 media: lirc_zilog: port to rc-core using scancode tx interface

In reply to Sean Young

Now that rc-core can send a scancode by rc protocol and scancode, port the lirc_zilog to this interface. The firmware file needs updating to contain the protocol and scancode, so we have haup-ir-blaster-v2.bin for this.

The LIRC_MODE_LIRCCODE is no longer supported, and transmit can only be done using the new LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE interface.

PATCH v2 8/25 media: lirc: remove LIRCCODE and LIRC_GET_LENGTH

In reply to Sean Young

LIRCCODE is a lirc mode where a driver produces driver-dependent codes for record and transmit. No driver use this any more. The LIRC_GET_LENGTH ioctl was used for this mode only.

PATCH v2 9/25 media: lirc: lirc interface should not be a raw decoder

In reply to Sean Young

The lirc user interface exists as a raw decoder, which does not make much sense for transmit-only devices.

In addition, we want to have lirc char devices for devices which do not use raw IR, i.e. scancode only devices.

Note that rc-code, lirc_dev, ir-lirc-codec are now calling functions of each other, so they've been merged into one module rc-core to avoid circular dependencies.

Since ir-lirc-codec no longer exists as separate codec module, there is no need for RC_DRIVER_IR_RAW_TX type drivers to call ir_raw_event_register().

The scancode in struct lirc_scancode is a u64. Shouldn't this be a u64 as well?

The scancode in struct lirc_scancode is 64 bit to make it future-proof (there are IR protocols with > 32 bits). However none are currently supported.

So, that needs documenting.

PATCH v2 11/25 media: lirc: merge lirc_dev_fop_ioctl and ir_lirc_ioctl

In reply to Sean Young

Calculate lirc features when necessary, and add LIRC_{S,G}ET_REC_MODE cases to ir_lirc_ioctl.

This makes lirc_dev_fop_ioctl() unnecessary since all cases are already handled by ir_lirc_ioctl().

PATCH v2 12/25 media: lirc: use kfifo rather than lirc_buffer for raw IR

In reply to Sean Young

Since the only mode lirc devices can handle is raw IR, handle this in a plain kfifo.

Remove lirc_buffer since this is no longer needed.

PATCH v2 13/25 media: lirc: move lirc_dev->attached to rc_dev->registered

In reply to Sean Young

This is done to further remove the lirc kernel api. Ensure that every fops checks for this.

PATCH v2 14/25 media: lirc: do not call rc_close() on unregistered devices

In reply to Sean Young

If a lirc chardev is held open after a device is unplugged, rc_close() will be called after rc_unregister_device(). The driver is not expecting any calls at this point, and the iguanair driver causes an oops in this scenario.

PATCH v2 17/25 media: lirc: remove last remnants of lirc kapi

In reply to Sean Young

rc-core has replaced the lirc kapi many years ago, and now with the last driver ported to rc-core, we can finally remove it.

Note this has no effect on userspace.

All future IR drivers should use the rc-core api.

PATCH v2 18/25 media: lirc: implement reading scancode

In reply to Sean Young

This implements LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE reading from the lirc device. The scancode can be read from the input device too, but with this interface you get the rc protocol, toggle and repeat status in addition too just the scancode.

int main()

{
	int fd, mode, rc;
	fd = open("/dev/lirc0", O_RDWR);

	mode = LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE;
	if (ioctl(fd, LIRC_SET_REC_MODE, &mode)) {
		// kernel too old or lirc does not support transmit

+.. _lirc-scancode-flag-repeat:
+
+``LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE``
+
+    This mode is for both sending and receiving IR.
+
+    For transmitting (aka sending), create a ``struct lirc_scancode`` with

+    the IR protocol, and all other members set to 0. Write this struct to
+    the lirc device.
+
+    For receiving, you read ``struct lirc_scancode`` from the lirc device,
+    with ``scancode`` set to the received scancode in the IR protocol
+    ``rc_proto``. The ``flags`` can have ``LIRC_SCANCODE_FLAG_TOGGLE`` set
+    if the toggle bit is set in protocols that support it (e.g. rc-5 and rc-6),
+    or ``LIRC_SCANCODE_FLAG_REPEAT`` for when a repeat is received for protocols
+    that support it (e.g. nec).

The nec protocol just sends the scancode, no key up/key down event. So it not possible to tell whether the user is pressing a button or press-release-press button. The rc-5 and rc-6 protocols therefore include a toggle-bit, which flips if the user press-release-press the button. Note that keyup event is simply absence of any IR.

PATCH v2 21/25 media: lirc: introduce LIRC_SET_POLL_MODE

In reply to Sean Young

If you want to poll for both decoded scancodes and raw IR, then this ioctl will help you.

int fd = open("/dev/lirc0", O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK);

for (;;) {
	unsigned mode = LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE | LIRC_MODE_MODE2;
	ioctl(fd, LIRC_SET_POLL_MODE, &mode);
	poll(&((struct pollfd){ .fd = fd, .events = POLLIN }), 1, -1);
	mode = LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE;
	ioctl(fd, LIRC_SET_REC_MODE, &mode);
	struct lirc_scancode sc;
	if (read(fd, &sc, sizeof(sc)) == sizeof(sc)) {
		printf("scancode protocol:%d scancode:%llx\n",
			sc.rc_proto, sc.scancode);
	}
	mode = LIRC_MODE_MODE2;
	ioctl(fd, LIRC_SET_REC_MODE, &mode);
	unsigned sample;
	if (read(fd, &sample, sizeof(sample)) == sizeof(sample)) {
		if (LIRC_IS_SPACE(sample))
			printf("space %u\n", LIRC_VAL(sample)));
		if (LIRC_IS_PULSE(sample))
			printf("pulse %u\n", LIRC_VAL(sample)));
	}
}

Note that LIRC_SET_REC_MODE will also affect the poll mode, so you must set it again before calling poll.

I don't get the point of this. You can be in one mode at a time anyway, so why not just poll for the current mode?

Well, you might want to poll for the current mode and another mode. Actually, I think the ioctl should be called LIRC_SET_POLL_MODES to clarify that.

So say if I want to poll for raw IR (LIRC_MODE_MODE2) and decoded scancodes (LIRC_MODE_SCANCODES), then without this ioctl, I would have to poll one for a period, then switch modes, poll for the other, switch modes, ad infinitum.

PATCH v2 22/25 media: lirc: scancode rc devices should have a lirc device too

In reply to Sean Young

Now that the lirc interface supports scancodes, RC scancode devices can also have a lirc device. The only feature they will have enabled is LIRC_CAN_REC_SCANCODE.

Note that CEC devices will have no lirc device yet, as this is still under discussion.

PATCH v2 25/25 media: rc: nec decoder should not send both repeat and keycode

In reply to Sean Young

When receiving an nec repeat, rc_repeat() is called and then rc_keydown() with the last decoded scancode. That last call is redundant.

Re: [PATCH v2 01/25] media: lirc: implement scancode sending

In reply to Sean Young
Quoted 327 lines · Sean Young

This introduces a new lirc mode: scancode. Any device which can send raw IR can now also send scancodes.

int main()

{
	int mode, fd = open("/dev/lirc0", O_RDWR);

        mode = LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE;
	if (ioctl(fd, LIRC_SET_SEND_MODE, &mode)) {
		// kernel too old or lirc does not support transmit
	}
	struct lirc_scancode scancode = {
		.scancode = 0x1e3d,
		.rc_proto = RC_PROTO_RC5,
	};
	write(fd, &scancode, sizeof(scancode));
	close(fd);
}

The other fields of lirc_scancode must be set to 0.

Note that toggle (rc5, rc6) and repeats (nec) are not implemented. Nor is there a method for holding down a key for a period.

I'm thinking how this will be implemented using CEC. Some RC commands take arguments (up to 4 bytes for the 0x67 (Tune Function) code), so how will they be handled?

See CEC table 6 in the HDMI 1.4 spec.

Should they be part of the scancode, or would it be better to add a '__u8 args[8];' field?

I've no idea what makes sense, it's a weird corner case.

I'm thinking how this will be implemented using CEC. Some RC commands take arguments (up to 4 bytes for the 0x67 (Tune Function) code), so how will they be handled?

Quoted 6 lines

See CEC table 6 in the HDMI 1.4 spec.

Should they be part of the scancode, or would it be better to add a '__u8 args[8];' field?

I've no idea what makes sense, it's a weird corner case.

I've given it some more thought.

For cec remote control passthrough, you have the tv with the IR receiver (A), which then transmits CEC_MSG_USER_CONTROL_PRESSED and CEC_MSG_USER_CONTROL_RELEASED cec messages to the correct target, with arguments. Then on the target (B), it reads those commands and should execute them as if it received them itself.

First of all (B) is already implemented in cec using rc-core. If RC passthrough is enabled, then cec will pass those keycodes to rc-core (which end up in an input device).

So the problem we are trying to solve here is (A). How I would see this implemented is:

1) A physical IR receiver exists which has an rc-core driver and a /dev/lircN device. This is configured using ir-keytable to map to regular input events

2) A process receives input events, and decides that a particular key/command is not for itself (e.g. tell top set box to tune), so it knows what the target cec address is and the tune arguments, so it fills out a cec_msg with the target, CEC_MSG_USER_CONTROL_PRESSED, 0x67, arguments, and then transmits it using the ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT, followed by another CEC_MSG_USER_CONTROL_RELEASED cec_msg sent using ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT.

In this way of viewing things, an rc-core device is either cec or lirc, and thus rc-core lirc devices have a /dev/lircN and rc-core cec devices have a /dev/cecN.

So, the alternative which is being proposed is that a cec device has both a /dev/cecN and a /dev/lircN. In this case step 2) would look like:

2) A process receives input events, and decides that a particular key/command is not for itself (e.g. tell top set box to tune), so it knows what the target cec address is and the tune arguments, so it fills in a lirc_scancode with the target, CEC_MSG_USER_CONTROL_PRESSED, 0x67, arguments, and then transmits it using write() to the /dev/lircN device, which then passes it on to cec_transmit() in drivers/media/cec/cec-api.c (without having a cec_fh), and then another lirc_scancode is filled in CEC_MSG_USER_CONTROL_RELEASED and sent.

Now, I think that this has a number of problems:

- It's a lot of API for simply doing a CEC_TRANSMIT

- and another chardev for a cec device (i.e. /dev/lircN).

- lirc scancode tx deals with scancodes, for cec rc passthrough it isn't really scancodes.

- Wiring this up is not going to be pretty or easy.

- The lirc chardev has no other function other than sending CEC_MSG_USER_CONTROL_PRESSED and CEC_MSG_USER_CONTROL_RELEASED cec messages.

So what I am proposing is that we don't use lirc for sending rc passthrough messages for cec.

I hope this makes sense and where not, please *do* tell me exactly where I am wrong. I think that I missed something about the scancode tx idea.

You are right, it makes no sense. Let's forget about this.
