cover Teach lirc how to send and receive scancodes

This patch series introduces a new lirc mode, LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE. This allows scancodes to be sent and received. This depends on earlier series which introduces IR encoders.

Hans: do cec devices need a method for sending scancodes and if so, would this be a useful interface? If not, should cec devices not have a lirc char device? With these patches, cec devices will get a lirc char device too.

lirc already supports LIRC_MODE_LIRCCODE, but that mode is entirely driver dependant and makes no provision for protocol information.

Receiving LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE
----------------------------
If a lirc device has the LIRC_CAN_REC_SCANCODE feature, LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE can be set set using LIRC_SET_REC_MODE ioctl. Now when you read from the device you receive struct lirc_scancode. In this structure you have the scancode, rc_type, and flags. RC_TYPE_* is now in uapi, so now you can see exactly which protocol variant was used. flags might contain LIRC_SCANCODE_FLAGS_TOGGLE (rc5, rc6) or LIRC_SCANCODE_FLAGS_REPEAT (nec).

Using this interface, you can see what IR protocol a remote is using. This was not easy to do before.

Sending LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE
--------------------------
If a lirc device has the LIRC_CAN_SEND_SCANCODE features, LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE can be set using the LIRC_SET_SEND_MODE ioctl. Now you can write struct lirc_scancode. flags should be 0, rc_type to the RC_TYPE_* and the scancode must be set. You can only tranmsit one lirc_scancode at a time.

This interface uses the in-kernel IR encoders to work. Using this interface it will be possible to port lirc_zilog to rc-core. This device cannot send raw IR, so it will not use the IR encoders but provide the same userspace interface.

Other user-visible changes
--------------------------
Now all RC devices will have a lirc char device, including devices which do not produce raw IR. They will be fixed in mode LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE.

PATCH 1/9 lirc: lirc interface should not be a raw decoder

The lirc bridge exists as a raw decoder. We would like to make the bridge to also work for scancode drivers in further commits, so it cannot be a raw decoder.

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().

PATCH 2/9 lirc: exorcise struct irctl

In reply to Sean Young

lirc_register_driver() takes a struct lirc_driver argument, it then allocates a new struct irctl which contains another struct lirc_driver and then copies it over.

By moving the members of struct irctl to struct lirc_driver, we avoid the extra allocation and we can remove struct irctl completely. We also remove the duplicate chunk_size member.

In addition, the members of irctl are now visible elsewhere.

PATCH 3/9 lirc: use plain kfifo rather than lirc_buffer

In reply to Sean Young

Since a lirc char device can only be opened once, there can only be one reader. By using a plain kfifo we don't need a spinlock and we can use kfifo_to_user. The code is much simplified.

Unfortunately we cannot eliminate lirc_buffer from the tree yet, as there are still some staging lirc drivers which use it.

PATCH 4/9 lirc: implement scancode sending

In reply to Sean Young

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

int main()

{
	int fd, mode, rc;
	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_type = RC_TYPE_RC5,
		.flags = 0
	};
	write(fd, &scancode, sizeof(scancode));
	close(fd);
}

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 7/9 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
	}
	struct lirc_scancode scancode;
	while (read(fd, &scancode, sizeof(scancode)) == sizeof(scancode)) {
		printf("protocol:%d scancode:0x%x toggle:%d repeat:%d\n",
			scancode.rc_type, scancode.scancode,
			!!(scancode.flags & LIRC_SCANCODE_FLAG_TOGGLE),
			!!(scancode.flags & LIRC_SCANCODE_FLAG_REPEAT));
	}
	close(fd);
}

PATCH 8/9 lirc: scancode rc devices should have a lirc device too

In reply to Sean Young

Note that this means that every rc device has a lirc device, including cec.

Document the interface we've just implemented.

In reply to Sean Young
Quoted 3 lines · Sean Young

This patch series introduces a new lirc mode, LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE. This allows scancodes to be sent and received. This depends on earlier series which introduces IR encoders.

I've been testing these patches further and I've discovered some bugs, the biggest issue is some nasty use-after-frees with unplug. It would be much better if lirc used proper kobject reference counting, so I will first focus on that and then revisit these patches.

Thanks

Sean
