Waiting for PSUs to be available during startup

Modified the Software PSU Updater Service to wait until inventory
service available. Updated ItemUpdater::scanDirectory to search
for the installed PSU model directory. For example, the PSU model
2B1E should have a directory named /usr/share/obmc/psu/2B1E. The
firmware file and the MANIFEST reside in the model directory.

Added a new function, `onInterfacesAdded`, processes D-Bus messages
to update the internal state of PSU  devices. It performs the following
steps:
- Read D-Bus message to extract the object path and interfaces.
- Check for PSU Interface.
- Retrieve all PSUs inventory paths from the D-Bus.
- Update PSU present status and model. If the PSU is present and has
  valid version, process FW update to latest version.

Fixed the issue with version comparison when there is no firmware to
compare with.

Tested:
Tested the code in simulation module and verified it waits for all PSUs
to be discovered. Verified phosphor-psu-code-manager invokes psutils to
get the PSU version, compare and update.

phosphor-psu-code-mgmt

phosphor-psu-code-mgmt is a service to provide management for PSU code, including:

  • PSU code version
  • PSU code update

Building

meson build/ && ninja -C build

Unit test

  • Run it in OpenBMC CI, refer to local-ci-build.md
  • Run it in OE SDK, run below commands in a x86-64 SDK env:
    meson -Doe-sdk=enabled -Dtests=enabled build/
    ninja -C build/ test  # Meson skips running the case due to it thinks it's cross compiling
    # Manually run the tests
    for t in `find build/test/ -maxdepth 1 -name "test_*"`; do ./$t || break ; done
    

Vendor-specific tools

This repo contains generic code to handle the PSU versions and updates. It depends on vendor-specific tools to provide the below functions on the real PSU hardware:

  • Get PSU firmware version
  • Compare the firmware version
  • Update the PSU firmware

It provides configure options for vendor-specific tools for the above functions:

  • PSU_VERSION_UTIL: It shall be defined as a command-line tool that accepts the PSU inventory path as input, and outputs the PSU version string to stdout.
  • PSU_VERSION_COMPARE_UTIL: It shall be defined as a command-line tool that accepts one or more PSU version strings, and outputs the latest version string to stdout.
  • PSU_UPDATE_SERVICE: It shall be defined as a systemd service that accepts two arguments:
    • The PSU inventory DBus object;
    • The path of the PSU image(s).

For example:

meson -Dtests=disabled \
    '-DPSU_VERSION_UTIL=/usr/bin/psutils --raw --get-version' \
    '-DPSU_VERSION_COMPARE_UTIL=/usr/bin/psutils --raw --compare' \
    '-DPSU_UPDATE_SERVICE=psu-update@.service' \
    build

The above configures the vendor-specific tools to use psutils from phosphor-power to get and compare the PSU versions, and use psu-update@.service to perform the PSU firmware update, where internally it invokes psutils as well.

Usage

PSU version

When the service starts, it queries the inventory to get all the PSU inventory paths, invokes the vendor-specific tool to get the versions, and creates version objects under /xyz/openbmc_project/software that are associated with the PSU inventory path. If multiple PSUs are using the same version, multiple PSU inventory paths are associated.

E.g.

  • Example of system with two PSUs that have different versions:

PSU update

  1. Generate a tarball of PSU firmware image by generate-psu-tar tool.
    ./generate-psu-tar --image <psu-image> --version <version> --model <model> --manufacturer \
    <manufacturer> --machineName <machineName> --outfile <psu.tar> --sign
    
  2. To update the PSU firmware, follow the same steps as described in code-update.md:
    • Upload a PSU image tarball and get the version ID;
    • Set the RequestedActivation state of the uploaded image's version ID.
    • Check the state and wait for the activation to be completed.
  3. After a successful update, the PSU image and the manifest is stored in BMC's persistent storage defined by IMG_DIR_PERSIST. When a PSU is replaced, the PSU's firmware version will be checked and updated if it's older than the one stored in BMC.
  4. It is possible to put a PSU image and MANIFEST in the built-bin OpenBMC image in BMC's read-only filesystem defined by IMG_DIR_BUILTIN. When the service starts, it will compare the versions of the built-in image, the stored image (after PSU update), and the existing PSUs, if there is any PSU that has an older firmware, it will be updated to the newest one.
