clang-format: re-format for clang-18

clang-format-18 isn't compatible with the clang-format-17 output, so we
need to reformat the code with the latest version.  The way clang-18
handles lambda formatting also changed, so we have made changes to the
organization default style format to better handle lambda formatting.

See I5e08687e696dd240402a2780158664b7113def0e for updated style.
See Iea0776aaa7edd483fa395e23de25ebf5a6288f71 for clang-18 enablement.

obmc-console

To Build

To build this project, run the following shell commands:

meson setup build
meson compile -C build

To test:

dbus-run-session meson test -C build

To Run Server

Running the server requires a serial port (e.g. /dev/ttyS0):

touch obmc-console.conf
./obmc-console-server --config obmc-console.conf ttyS0

To Connect Client

To connect to the server, simply run the client:

./obmc-console-client

To disconnect the client, use the standard ~. combination.

Underlying design

This shows how the host UART connection is abstracted within the BMC as a Unix domain socket.

This supports multiple independent consoles. The console-id is a unique portion for the unix domain socket created by the obmc-console-server instance. The server needs to know this because it needs to know what to name the pipe; the client needs to know it as it needs to form the abstract socket name to which to connect.

Mux Support

In some hardware designs, multiple UARTS may be available behind a Mux. Please reference docs/mux-support.md in that case.

Sample Development Setup

For developing obmc-console, we can use pseudo terminals (pty's) in Linux.

The socat command will output names of 2 pty's, one of which is the master and the other one is the slave. The master pty can be used to emulate a UART.

$ socat -d -d pty,raw,echo=0,link=pty1 pty,raw,echo=0,link=pty2

$ obmc-console-server --console-id dev $(realpath pty2)

$ obmc-console-client -i dev

# this message should appear for the client
$ echo "hi" > pty1
