regulators: Enable sensor monitoring

Enable sensor monitoring in the phosphor-regulators application.

Previous commits implemented the majority of the sensor monitoring
support.  This commit contains the last set of changes needed to enable
monitoring for the entire application.

Modify the top level Manager class to enable or disable monitoring based
on the D-Bus 'monitor' method.  This method is called by the regsctl
command line tool.  Service files use regsctl to enable monitoring
during power on and disable monitoring during power off.

When monitoring is enabled, set a repeating, one-second timer.  When the
timer expires, execute one sensor monitoring cycle for all voltage
regulator sensors.

When monitoring is disabled, turn off the timer.  Put all the sensors in
an inactive state, indicating they are no longer being updated.  They
will remain in this state until the system is powered on again.

Tested:
* Verified sensor monitoring is enabled when chassis is powered on.
* Verified sensor monitoring is disabled when chassis is powered off.
* Verified voltage regulator sensors are read once per second while
  monitoring is enabled.
* Verified sensors are published on D-Bus when monitoring is enabled.
* Verified sensors remain on D-Bus but are put in an inactive state when
  monitoring is disabled.
* Verified sensors are not read when monitoring is disabled.
* Tested where D-Bus queries to obtain current power state fail with a
  D-Bus exception.
* Verified sensor monitoring is enabled if BMC is reset while chassis is
  powered on.
* Verified sensor monitoring is enabled if regulators application is
  stopped and re-started while chassis is powered on.
* For complete test plan, see

Overview

This repository contains applications for configuring and monitoring devices that deliver power to the system.

  • cold-redundancy: Application that makes power supplies work in Cold Redundancy mode and rotates them at intervals.
  • phosphor-power-sequencer: Applications for configuring and monitoring power sequencer and related devices that support JSON-driven configuration.
  • phosphor-power-supply: Next generation power supply monitoring application.
  • phosphor-regulators: JSON-driven application that configures and monitors voltage regulators.
  • power-sequencer: A power sequencer monitoring application.
  • power-supply: Original power supply monitoring application.
  • tools/power-utils: Power supply utilities.

Build

To build all applications in this repository:

  meson build
  ninja -C build

To clean the repository and remove all build output:

  rm -rf build

You can specify meson options to customize the build process. For example, you can specify:

  • Which applications to build and install.
  • Application-specific configuration data, such as power sequencer type.
  • Whether to build tests.

Power Supply Monitor and Util JSON config

Several applications in this repository require a PSU JSON config to run. The JSON config file provides information for:

  • Where to access the pmbus attributes
  • Which attribute file in pmbus maps to which property and interface in D-Bus
  • Which kernel device directory is used on which PSU

There is an example psu.json to describe the necessary configurations.

  • inventoryPMBusAccessType defines the pmbus access type, which tells the service which sysfs type to use to read the attributes. The possible values are:
    • Base: The base dir, e.g. /sys/bus/i2c/devices/3-0069/
    • Hwmon: The hwmon dir, e.g. /sys/bus/i2c/devices/3-0069/hwmon/hwmonX/
    • Debug: The pmbus debug dir, e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/pmbus/hwmonX/
    • DeviceDebug: The device debug dir, e.g. '/sys/kernel/debug/./`
    • HwmonDeviceDebug: The hwmon device debug dir, e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/pmbus/hwmonX/cffps1/
  • fruConfigs defines the mapping between the attribute file and the FRU inventory interface and property. The configuration example below indicates that the service will read part_number attribute file from a directory specified by the above pmbus access type, and assign to PartNumber property in xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Decorator.Asset interface.
      "fruConfigs": [
        {
          "propertyName": "PartNumber",
          "fileName": "part_number",
          "interface": "xyz.openbmc_project.Inventory.Decorator.Asset"
        }
      ]
    
  • psuDevices defines the kernel device dir for each PSU in inventory. The configuration example below indicates that powersupply0's device is located in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/3-0069.
      "psuDevices": {
        "/xyz/openbmc_project/inventory/system/chassis/motherboard/powersupply0" : "/sys/bus/i2c/devices/3-0069",
      }
