The mtcAgent process sometimes segfaults while trying to fetch
the bmc password from a failing barbican process.
With that issue fixed the mtcAgent sends the bmc access
credentials to the hardware monitor (hwmond) process which
then segfaults for a reason similar
In cases where the process does not segfault but also does not
get a bmc password, the mtcAgent will flood its log file.
This update
1. Prevents the segfault case by properly managing acquired
json-c object releases. There was one in the mtcAgent and
another in the hardware monitor (hwmond).
The json_object_put object release api should only be called
against objects that were created with very specific apis.
See new comments in the code.
2. Avoids log flooding error case by performing a password size
check rather than assume the password is valid following the
secret payload receive stage.
3. Simplifies the secret fsm and error and retry handling.
4. Deletes useless creation and release of a few unused json
objects in the common jsonUtil and hwmonJson modules.
Note: This update temporarily disables sensor and sensorgroup
suppression support for the debian hardware monitor while
a suppression type fix in sysinv is being investigated.

Some of the code used TRUE instead of true which did not compile
for Debian. These instances were changed to true.
Some #define constants generated narrowing errors because their
values are negative in a 32 bit integer. These values were
explicitly casted to int in the case statements causing the errors.

Recent refactoring of the BMC handler FSM introduced a code change that
prevents the BMC Access alarm from being raised after initial BMC
accessibility was established and is then lost.
This update ensures BMC access alarm management is working properly.
This update also implements ping failure debounce so that a single ping
failure does not trigger full reconnection handling. Instead that now
requires 3 ping failures in a row. This has the effect of adding a minute
to ping failure action handling before the usual 2 minute BMC access failure
alarm is raised. ping failure logging is reduced/improved.

The current mechanism used to preserve the learned bmc protocol in
the filesystem on the active controller is problematic over swact.
This update removes the file storage method in favor of preserving
the learned protocol in the system inventory database as a key/value
pair at the host level in already existing mtce_info database field.
The specified or learned bmc access protocol is then shared with the
hardware monitor through inter-daemon maintenance messaging.
This update refactors bmc provisioning to accommodate bmc protocol
selection at the host rather than system level. Towards that this
update removes system level bmc_access_method selection in favor of
host level selection through bm_type. A bm_type of 'bmc' specifies
that the bmc access protocol for that host be learned. This has the
effect of making it the same as what is delivered today but without
support for changing it as the system level.
A system inventory update will be delivered shortly that enables bmc
access protocol selection at the host level. That update allows the
customer to specify the bmc access protocol at the host level to be
either dynamic (aka learned) or to only use 'redfish' or 'ipmi'.
That system inventory update delivers that information to maintenance
through bm_type via bmc provisioning. Until that update is delivered
bm_type always comes in as 'bmc' which get interpreted as 'dynamic'
to maintain existing configuration.
The following additional issues were also fixed in this update.
1. The nodeTimers module defaults the 'ring' member of timers that are
not running to false but should be true.
2. Added a pingUtil_restart function to facilitate quicker sensor
monitoring following provisioning changes and bmc access failures.
3. Enhanced the hardware monitor sensor grouping filter to accommodate
non-standard Redfish readout labelling so that more sensors fall
into the existing canned groups ; leads to more monitored sensors.
4. Added a 'http security mode' to hardware monitor messaging. This
defaults to https as that is all that is supported by the Redfish
implementation today. This field can be used to specify non-secure
'http' mode in the future when that gets implemented.
5. Ensure the hardware monitor performs a bmc password re-fetch on every
provisioning change.

This update
1. Refactors some of the common maintenance ipmi
definitions and utilities into a more generic
'bmcUtil' module to reduce code duplication and improve
improve code reuse with the introduction of a second
bmc communication protocol ; redfish.
2. Creates a new 'redFishUtil' module similar to the existing
'ipmiUtil' module but in support of common redfish
utilities and definitions that can be used by both
maintenance and the hardware monitor.
3. Moves the existing 'mtcIpmiUtil' module to a more common
'mtcBmcUtil' and renames the 'ipmi_command_send/recv' to
the more generic 'bmc_command_send/recv' which are enhanced
to support both ipmi and redfish bmc communication methods.
4. Renames the bmc info collection and connection monitor ;
'bm_handler' to 'bmc_handler' and adds support necessary
to learn if a host's bmc supports redfish.
5. Renames the existing 'mtcThread_ipmitool' to a more common
'mtcThread_bmc' and redfishtool support for the now common
set of bmc thread commands and the addition of the new
redfishtool bmc query, aka 'redfish root query', used to
detect if a host's bmc supports redfish.
Note: This aspect is the primary feature of this update.
Namely the ability to detect and print a log indicating
if a host's bmc supports redfish.

PASS: Verify sensor monitoring and alarming still works.

Use Openstack Barbican API to retrieve BMC passwords stored by SysInv.
See SysInv commit for details on how to write password to Barbican.
MTCE is going to find corresponding secret by host uuid and retrieve
secret payload associated with it. mtcSecretApi_get is used to find
secret reference, based on a hostname. mtcSecretApi_read is used to
read a password using the reference found on a prevoius step.
Also, did a little cleanup and removed old unused token handling code.

This decouples the build and packaging of guest-server, guest-agent from
mtce, by splitting guest component into stx-nfv repo.
This leaves existing C++ code, scripts, and resource files untouched,
so there is no functional change. Code refactoring is beyond the scope
of this update.
Makefiles were modified to include devel headers directories
/usr/include/mtce-common and /usr/include/mtce-daemon.
This ensures there is no contamination with other system headers.
The cgts-mtce-common package is renamed and split into:
- repo stx-metal: mtce-common, mtce-common-dev
- repo stx-metal: mtce
- repo stx-nfv: mtce-guest
- repo stx-ha: updates package dependencies to mtce-pmon for
service-mgmt, sm, and sm-api
mtce-common:
- contains common and daemon shared source utility code
mtce-common-dev:
- based on mtce-common, contains devel package required to build
mtce-guest and mtce
- contains common library archives and headers
mtce:
- contains components: alarm, fsmon, fsync, heartbeat, hostw, hwmon,
maintenance, mtclog, pmon, public, rmon
mtce-guest:
- contains guest component guest-server, guest-agent
