psutils: Do not pad PSU version with blanks

When `psutils --get-version <inventory_path>` is run, it returns the
firmware version for the specified PSU inventory path.

If no psu.json file is found, the PSU I2C bus and address are obtained
from D-Bus. The PSU version is then obtained from a file in sysfs.

The contents of the sysfs file are currently treated as VPD. Invalid
characters are replaced with spaces, and the value is padded with spaces
if needed to reach an expected VPD length.

If an error occurs trying to read the sysfs file, the version is
initially set to "". However, since it is being treated as VPD it is
later padded with blanks. Since the version is not an empty string, it
is treated as valid by psutils and the PSU code update application.
This causes subsequent code update issues.

Modify psutils so that the contents of the sysfs file are treated as a
simple string. If an error occurs, set the version to "". This will
cause psutils and the PSU code update application to correctly conclude
that an error occurred and the version is not valid.

Tested:
* psutils --get-version
  * psu.json file exists
    * Test where getting the version works
      * Verify file contents are obtained
      * Verify psutils prints out the version
      * Verify psutils exits with a return code of 0
    * Test where getting the version fails
      * Verify exception is written to the journal
      * Verify psutils prints out an empty string
      * Verify psutils exits with a return code of 1
  * psu.json file does not exist; PSU information is obtained from D-Bus
    * Test where getting the version works
      * Verify file contents are obtained
      * Verify psutils prints out the version
      * Verify psutils exits with a return code of 0
    * Test where getting the version fails
      * Verify exception is written to the journal
      * Verify psutils prints out an empty string
      * Verify psutils exits with a return code of 1

phosphor-power

Overview

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

Actively-maintained applications:

  • cold-redundancy: Application that makes power supplies work in Cold Redundancy mode and rotates them at intervals.
  • phosphor-power-sequencer: JSON-driven application that powers the chassis on/off and monitors the power sequencer device.
  • phosphor-power-supply: Next generation power supply monitoring application.
  • phosphor-regulators: JSON-driven application that configures and monitors voltage regulators.
  • tools/power-utils: Power supply utilities.

Legacy applications:

  • power-sequencer: Original power sequencer monitoring application.
  • power-supply: Original power supply monitoring application.

Build

To build all applications in this repository:

  meson setup 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/<driver>.<instance>/
    • 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",
      }
