-Intel(R) Management Engine (ME) Client bus API
-==============================================
-
-
-Rationale
-=========
-
-MEI misc character device is useful for dedicated applications to send and receive
-data to the many FW appliance found in Intel's ME from the user space.
-However for some of the ME functionalities it make sense to leverage existing software
-stack and expose them through existing kernel subsystems.
-
-In order to plug seamlessly into the kernel device driver model we add kernel virtual
-bus abstraction on top of the MEI driver. This allows implementing linux kernel drivers
-for the various MEI features as a stand alone entities found in their respective subsystem.
-Existing device drivers can even potentially be re-used by adding an MEI CL bus layer to
-the existing code.
-
-
-MEI CL bus API
-==============
-
-A driver implementation for an MEI Client is very similar to existing bus
-based device drivers. The driver registers itself as an MEI CL bus driver through
-the mei_cl_driver structure:
-
-struct mei_cl_driver {
-	struct device_driver driver;
-	const char *name;
-
-	const struct mei_cl_device_id *id_table;
-
-	int (*probe)(struct mei_cl_device *dev, const struct mei_cl_id *id);
-	int (*remove)(struct mei_cl_device *dev);
-};
-
-struct mei_cl_id {
-	char name[MEI_NAME_SIZE];
-	kernel_ulong_t driver_info;
-};
-
-The mei_cl_id structure allows the driver to bind itself against a device name.
-
-To actually register a driver on the ME Client bus one must call the mei_cl_add_driver()
-API. This is typically called at module init time.
-
-Once registered on the ME Client bus, a driver will typically try to do some I/O on
-this bus and this should be done through the mei_cl_send() and mei_cl_recv()
-routines. The latter is synchronous (blocks and sleeps until data shows up).
-In order for drivers to be notified of pending events waiting for them (e.g.
-an Rx event) they can register an event handler through the
-mei_cl_register_event_cb() routine. Currently only the MEI_EVENT_RX event
-will trigger an event handler call and the driver implementation is supposed
-to call mei_recv() from the event handler in order to fetch the pending
-received buffers.
-
-
-Example
-=======
-
-As a theoretical example let's pretend the ME comes with a "contact" NFC IP.
-The driver init and exit routines for this device would look like:
-
-#define CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME "contact"
-
-static struct mei_cl_device_id contact_mei_cl_tbl[] = {
-	{ CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME, },
-
-	/* required last entry */
-	{ }
-};
-MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(mei_cl, contact_mei_cl_tbl);
-
-static struct mei_cl_driver contact_driver = {
-	.id_table = contact_mei_tbl,
-	.name = CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME,
-
-	.probe = contact_probe,
-	.remove = contact_remove,
-};
-
-static int contact_init(void)
-{
-	int r;
-
-	r = mei_cl_driver_register(&contact_driver);
-	if (r) {
-		pr_err(CONTACT_DRIVER_NAME ": driver registration failed\n");
-		return r;
-	}
-
-	return 0;
-}
-
-static void __exit contact_exit(void)
-{
-	mei_cl_driver_unregister(&contact_driver);
-}
-
-module_init(contact_init);
-module_exit(contact_exit);
-
-And the driver's simplified probe routine would look like that:
-
-int contact_probe(struct mei_cl_device *dev, struct mei_cl_device_id *id)
-{
-	struct contact_driver *contact;
-
-	[...]
-	mei_cl_enable_device(dev);
-
-	mei_cl_register_event_cb(dev, contact_event_cb, contact);
-
-	return 0;
-}
-
-In the probe routine the driver first enable the MEI device and then registers
-an ME bus event handler which is as close as it can get to registering a
-threaded IRQ handler.
-The handler implementation will typically call some I/O routine depending on
-the pending events:
-
-#define MAX_NFC_PAYLOAD 128
-
-static void contact_event_cb(struct mei_cl_device *dev, u32 events,
-			     void *context)
-{
-	struct contact_driver *contact = context;
-
-	if (events & BIT(MEI_EVENT_RX)) {
-		u8 payload[MAX_NFC_PAYLOAD];
-		int payload_size;
-
-		payload_size = mei_recv(dev, payload, MAX_NFC_PAYLOAD);
-		if (payload_size <= 0)
-			return;
-
-		/* Hook to the NFC subsystem */
-		nfc_hci_recv_frame(contact->hdev, payload, payload_size);
-	}
-}

-Intel(R) Management Engine Interface (Intel(R) MEI)
-===================================================
-
-Introduction
-============
-
-The Intel Management Engine (Intel ME) is an isolated and protected computing
-resource (Co-processor) residing inside certain Intel chipsets. The Intel ME
-provides support for computer/IT management features. The feature set
-depends on the Intel chipset SKU.
-
-The Intel Management Engine Interface (Intel MEI, previously known as HECI)
-is the interface between the Host and Intel ME. This interface is exposed
-to the host as a PCI device. The Intel MEI Driver is in charge of the
-communication channel between a host application and the Intel ME feature.
-
-Each Intel ME feature (Intel ME Client) is addressed by a GUID/UUID and
-each client has its own protocol. The protocol is message-based with a
-header and payload up to 512 bytes.
-
-Prominent usage of the Intel ME Interface is to communicate with Intel(R)
-Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) implemented in firmware running on
-the Intel ME.
-
-Intel AMT provides the ability to manage a host remotely out-of-band (OOB)
-even when the operating system running on the host processor has crashed or
-is in a sleep state.
-
-Some examples of Intel AMT usage are:
-   - Monitoring hardware state and platform components
-   - Remote power off/on (useful for green computing or overnight IT
-     maintenance)
-   - OS updates
-   - Storage of useful platform information such as software assets
-   - Built-in hardware KVM
-   - Selective network isolation of Ethernet and IP protocol flows based
-     on policies set by a remote management console
-   - IDE device redirection from remote management console
-
-Intel AMT (OOB) communication is based on SOAP (deprecated
-starting with Release 6.0) over HTTP/S or WS-Management protocol over
-HTTP/S that are received from a remote management console application.
-
-For more information about Intel AMT:
-http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
-
-
-Intel MEI Driver
-================
-
-The driver exposes a misc device called /dev/mei.
-
-An application maintains communication with an Intel ME feature while
-/dev/mei is open. The binding to a specific feature is performed by calling
-MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT_IOCTL, which passes the desired UUID.
-The number of instances of an Intel ME feature that can be opened
-at the same time depends on the Intel ME feature, but most of the
-features allow only a single instance.
-
-The Intel AMT Host Interface (Intel AMTHI) feature supports multiple
-simultaneous user connected applications. The Intel MEI driver
-handles this internally by maintaining request queues for the applications.
-
-The driver is transparent to data that are passed between firmware feature
-and host application.
-
-Because some of the Intel ME features can change the system
-configuration, the driver by default allows only a privileged
-user to access it.
-
-A code snippet for an application communicating with Intel AMTHI client:
-
-	struct mei_connect_client_data data;
-	fd = open(MEI_DEVICE);
-
-	data.d.in_client_uuid = AMTHI_UUID;
-
-	ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT, &data);
-
-	printf("Ver=%d, MaxLen=%ld\n",
-			data.d.in_client_uuid.protocol_version,
-			data.d.in_client_uuid.max_msg_length);
-
-	[...]
-
-	write(fd, amthi_req_data, amthi_req_data_len);
-
-	[...]
-
-	read(fd, &amthi_res_data, amthi_res_data_len);
-
-	[...]
-	close(fd);
-
-
-IOCTL
-=====
-
-The Intel MEI Driver supports the following IOCTL commands:
-	IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT	Connect to firmware Feature (client).
-
-	usage:
-		struct mei_connect_client_data clientData;
-		ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_CONNECT_CLIENT, &clientData);
-
-	inputs:
-		mei_connect_client_data struct contain the following
-		input field:
-
-		in_client_uuid -	UUID of the FW Feature that needs
-					to connect to.
-	outputs:
-		out_client_properties - Client Properties: MTU and Protocol Version.
-
-	error returns:
-		EINVAL	Wrong IOCTL Number
-		ENODEV	Device or Connection is not initialized or ready.
-			(e.g. Wrong UUID)
-		ENOMEM	Unable to allocate memory to client internal data.
-		EFAULT	Fatal Error (e.g. Unable to access user input data)
-		EBUSY	Connection Already Open
-
-	Notes:
-        max_msg_length (MTU) in client properties describes the maximum
-        data that can be sent or received. (e.g. if MTU=2K, can send
-        requests up to bytes 2k and received responses up to 2k bytes).
-
-	IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_SET: enable or disable event notifications
-
-	Usage:
-		uint32_t enable;
-		ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_SET, &enable);
-
-	Inputs:
-		uint32_t enable = 1;
-		or
-		uint32_t enable[disable] = 0;
-
-	Error returns:
-		EINVAL	Wrong IOCTL Number
-		ENODEV	Device  is not initialized or the client not connected
-		ENOMEM	Unable to allocate memory to client internal data.
-		EFAULT	Fatal Error (e.g. Unable to access user input data)
-		EOPNOTSUPP if the device doesn't support the feature
-
-	Notes:
-	The client must be connected in order to enable notification events
-
-
-	IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_GET : retrieve event
-
-	Usage:
-		uint32_t event;
-		ioctl(fd, IOCTL_MEI_NOTIFY_GET, &event);
-
-	Outputs:
-		1 - if an event is pending
-		0 - if there is no even pending
-
-	Error returns:
-		EINVAL	Wrong IOCTL Number
-		ENODEV	Device is not initialized or the client not connected
-		ENOMEM	Unable to allocate memory to client internal data.
-		EFAULT	Fatal Error (e.g. Unable to access user input data)
-		EOPNOTSUPP if the device doesn't support the feature
-
-	Notes:
-	The client must be connected and event notification has to be enabled
-	in order to receive an event
-
-
-Intel ME Applications
-=====================
-
-	1) Intel Local Management Service (Intel LMS)
-
-	   Applications running locally on the platform communicate with Intel AMT Release
-	   2.0 and later releases in the same way that network applications do via SOAP
-	   over HTTP (deprecated starting with Release 6.0) or with WS-Management over
-	   SOAP over HTTP. This means that some Intel AMT features can be accessed from a
-	   local application using the same network interface as a remote application
-	   communicating with Intel AMT over the network.
-
-	   When a local application sends a message addressed to the local Intel AMT host
-	   name, the Intel LMS, which listens for traffic directed to the host name,
-	   intercepts the message and routes it to the Intel MEI.
-	   For more information:
-	   http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
-	   Under "About Intel AMT" => "Local Access"
-
-	   For downloading Intel LMS:
-	   http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-intel-amt-open-source-drivers/
-
-	   The Intel LMS opens a connection using the Intel MEI driver to the Intel LMS
-	   firmware feature using a defined UUID and then communicates with the feature
-	   using a protocol called Intel AMT Port Forwarding Protocol (Intel APF protocol).
-	   The protocol is used to maintain multiple sessions with Intel AMT from a
-	   single application.
-
-	   See the protocol specification in the Intel AMT Software Development Kit (SDK)
-	   http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
-	   Under "SDK Resources" => "Intel(R) vPro(TM) Gateway (MPS)"
-	   => "Information for Intel(R) vPro(TM) Gateway Developers"
-	   => "Description of the Intel AMT Port Forwarding (APF) Protocol"
-
-	2) Intel AMT Remote configuration using a Local Agent
-
-	   A Local Agent enables IT personnel to configure Intel AMT out-of-the-box
-	   without requiring installing additional data to enable setup. The remote
-	   configuration process may involve an ISV-developed remote configuration
-	   agent that runs on the host.
-	   For more information:
-	   http://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implementation_and_Reference_Guide
-	   Under "Setup and Configuration of Intel AMT" =>
-	   "SDK Tools Supporting Setup and Configuration" =>
-	   "Using the Local Agent Sample"
-
-	   An open source Intel AMT configuration utility,	implementing a local agent
-	   that accesses the Intel MEI driver, can be found here:
-	   http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-intel-amt-open-source-drivers/

-Intel AMT OS Health Watchdog
-============================
-
-The Intel AMT Watchdog is an OS Health (Hang/Crash) watchdog.
-Whenever the OS hangs or crashes, Intel AMT will send an event
-to any subscriber to this event. This mechanism means that
-IT knows when a platform crashes even when there is a hard failure on the host.
-
-The Intel AMT Watchdog is composed of two parts:
-	1) Firmware feature - receives the heartbeats
-	   and sends an event when the heartbeats stop.
-	2) Intel MEI iAMT watchdog driver - connects to the watchdog feature,
-	   configures the watchdog and sends the heartbeats.
-
-The Intel iAMT watchdog MEI driver uses the kernel watchdog API to configure
-the Intel AMT Watchdog and to send heartbeats to it. The default timeout of the
-watchdog is 120 seconds.
-
-If the Intel AMT is not enabled in the firmware then the watchdog client won't enumerate
-on the me client bus and watchdog devices won't be exposed.
