This also means we do the right thing when plugins call fu_device_add_flag()
directly, instead of just from a quirk file.
For instance, now `Flags = ~updatable` is a valid and useful thing to have and
allows us to remove the `Flags = None` hack.
If we say that the version format should be the same for the `version_lowest`
and the `version_bootloader` then it does not always make sense to set it at
the same time.
Moving the `version_format` to a standalone first-class property also means it
can be typically be set in the custom device `_init()` function, which means we
don't need to worry about *changing* ther version format as set by the USB and
UDev superclass helpers.
Some plugins have devices with more than one protocol. Logically the protocol
belongs to the device, not the plugin, and in the future we could use this to
further check firmware that's about to be deployed.
This is also not exported into libfwupd (yet?) as it's remains a debug-feature
only -- protocols are not actually required for devices to be added.
There are several subtle bugs in various places in fwupd caused by not treating
user-provided offsets into buffers as unsafe. As fwupd runs as root we have to
assume that all user firmware is evil, and also that devices cannot be trusted.
Make a helper to put all the logic into one place and convert all users.
In many plugins we've wanted to use ->prepare_firmware() to parse the firmware
ahead of ->detach() and ->write_firmware() but this has the limitation that it
can only return a single blob of data.
For many devices, multiple binary blobs are required from one parsed image,
for instance providing signatures, config and data blobs that have to be pushed
to the device in different way.
This also means we parse the firmware *before* we ask the user to detach.
Break the internal FuDevice API to support these firmware types as they become
more popular.
This also allows us to move the Intel HEX and SREC parsing out of the dfu plugin
as they are used by a few plugins now, and resolving symbols between plugins
isn't exactly awesome.
This leads to madness, as some formats are supersets of the detected types,
e.g. 'intel-me' is detected as 'quad' and 'bcd' is detected as 'pair'.
Where the version format is defined in a specification or hardcoded in the
source use a hardcoded enum value, otherwise use a quirk override.
Additionally, warn if the version does not match the defined version format
Future metadata from the LVFS will set the protocol the firmware is expected to
use. As vendors love to re-use common terms like DFU for incompatible protocols,
namespace them with the controlling company ID with an approximate reverse DNS
namespace.
This also allows more than one plugin to define support for the same protocol,
for instance rts54hid+rts54hub and synapticsmst+dell-dock.
The daemon creates a baseclass of either FuUsbDevice or FuUdevDevice when the
devices are added or coldplugged to match the quirk database and to find out
what plugin to run.
This is proxied to plugins, but they are given the GUsbDevice or GUdevDevice and
the FuDevice is just thrown away. Most plugins either use a FuUsbDevice or
superclassed version like FuNvmeDevice and so we re-create the FuDevice, re-probe
the hardware, re-query the quirk database and then return this to the daemon.
In some cases, plugins actually probe the hardware three times (!) by creating
a FuUsbDevice to get the quirks, so that the plugin knows what kind of
superclass to create, which then itself probes the hardware again.
Passing the temporary FuDevice to the plugins means that the simplest ones can
just fu_plugin_device_add() the passed in object, or create a superclass and
incorporate the actual GUsbDevice and all the GUIDs.
This breaks internal plugin API but speeds up startup substantially and deletes
a lot of code.
These are GUIDs that are related to the main device, but should not be used for
quirk matching. For instance, we might want to list the GUIDs for a bootloader
mode, but we don't want to import all the quirks for the bootloader when in the
runtime mode.
This pivots the data storage so that the group is used as the preconditon
and the key name is used as the parameter to change. This allows a more natural
data flow, where a new device needs one new group and a few few keys, rather
than multiple groups, each with one key.
This also allows us to remove the key globbing when matching the version format
which is often a source of confusion.
Whilst changing all the quirk files, change the key prefixes to be more familiar
to Windows users (e.g. Hwid -> Smbios, and FuUsbDevice -> DeviceInstanceId)
who have to use the same IDs in Windows Update.
This also allows us to pre-match the desired plugin, rather than calling the
probe() function on each plugin.
GLib creates two static inline functions for paramaters that may
not be used that set off warnings in clang but not gcc.
Ignore these on clang builds everywhere that
G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC is used.
This makes more sense; we're updating the device, not the plugin itself.
This also means we don't need to funnel everything through callbacks like
GFileProgressCallback and we can also update the state without adding an
explicit callback to each derived device type.
This saves all the USB plugins from connecting to the context and managing the
device lifecycle and allows devices that uses FuUsbDevice to be removed
automatically.
This makes supported plugins *much* smaller indeed.
