Clean up .clang-tidy

This file was originally created by listing all clang-tidy checks (from
version 7 ish) and dumping them into a file.  Over time it has evolved,
but now there are quite a few people using this file as an example to
enable other repos with tidy, so lets "tidy up" the checks we enable in
this list that probably shouldn't be enabled.

OSX-specific checks are removed.  We don't deploy code on osx.
The one google style guide check is removed for use of explicit.  In
practice this didn't help much with quality, and had to be explicitly
bypassed at times.
boost-use-to-string is removed.  To my knowledge it has never flagged a
failure.

dbus-sensors

dbus-sensors is a collection of sensor applications that provide the xyz.openbmc_project.Sensor collection of interfaces. They read sensor values from hwmon, d-bus, or direct driver access to provide readings. Some advance non-sensor features such as fan presence, pwm control, and automatic cpu detection (x86) are also supported.

key features

  • runtime re-configurable from d-bus (entity-manager or the like)

  • isolated: each sensor type is isolated into its own daemon, so a bug in one sensor is unlikely to affect another, and single sensor modifications are possible

  • async single-threaded: uses sdbusplus/asio bindings

  • multiple data inputs: hwmon, d-bus, direct driver access

dbus interfaces

A typical dbus-sensors object support the following dbus interfaces:

Path        /xyz/openbmc_project/sensors/<type>/<sensor_name>

Interfaces  xyz.openbmc_project.Sensor.Value
            xyz.openbmc_project.Sensor.Threshold.Critical
            xyz.openbmc_project.Sensor.Threshold.Warning
            xyz.openbmc_project.State.Decorator.Availability
            xyz.openbmc_project.State.Decorator.OperationalStatus
            xyz.openbmc_project.Association.Definitions

Sensor interfaces collection are described in phosphor-dbus-interfaces.

Consumer examples of these interfaces are Redfish, Phosphor-Pid-Control, IPMI SDR.

Reactor

dbus-sensor daemons are reactors that dynamically create and update sensors configuration when system configuration gets updated.

Using asio timers and async calls, dbus-sensor daemons read sensor values and check thresholds periodically. PropertiesChanged signals will be broadcasted for other services to consume when value or threshold status change. OperationStatus is set to false if the sensor is determined to be faulty.

A simple sensor example can be found in entity-manager examples.

configuration

Sensor devices are described using Exposes records in configuration file. Name and Type fields are required. Different sensor types have different fields. Refer to entity manager schema for complete list.

ADC Sensors

ADC sensors are sensors based on an Analog to Digital Converter. They are read via the Linux kernel Industrial I/O subsystem (IIO).

One of the more common use cases within OpenBMC is for reading these sensors from the ADC on the Aspeed ASTXX cards.

To utilize ADC sensors feature within OpenBMC you must first define and enable it within the kernel device tree.

When using a common OpenBMC device like the AST2600 you will find a "adc0" and "adc1" section in the aspeed-g6.dtsi file. These are disabled by default so in your system-specific dts you would enable and configure what you want with something like this:

iio-hwmon {
    compatible = "iio-hwmon";
    io-channels = <&adc0 0>;
    ...
}

&adc0 {
    status = "okay";
    ...
};

&adc1 {
    status = "okay";
    ...
};

Note that this is not meant to be an exhaustive list on the nuances of configuring a device tree but really to point users in the general direction.

You will then create an entity-manager configuration file that is of type "ADC" A very simple example would like look this:

            "Index": 0,
            "Name": "P12V",
            "PowerState": "Always",
            "ScaleFactor": 1.0,
            "Type": "ADC"

When your system is booted, a "in0_input" file will be created within the hwmon subsystem (/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX). The adcsensor application will scan d-bus for any ADC entity-manager objects, look up their "Index" value, and try to match that with the hwmon inY_input files. When it finds a match it will create a d-bus sensor under the xyz.openbmc_project.ADCSensor service. The sensor will be periodically updated based on readings from the hwmon file.
