  To: mchehab; +Cc: linux-input, linux-media

drivers/media/IR/ir-raw-event.c is currently written with the assumption 
that all "raw" hardware will generate events only on state change (i.e.  
when a pulse or space starts).

However, some hardware (like mceusb, probably the most popular IR receiver
out there) only generates duration data (and that data is buffered so using
any kind of timing on the data is futile).

Furthermore, using signed int's to represent pulse/space durations in ms
is a well-known approach to anyone with experience in writing ir decoders.

This patch (which has been tested this time) is still a RFC on my proposed
interface changes.

Changes since last version:

o s64's are used to represent pulse/space durations in ns.

o Lots of #defines are used in the decoders

o Refreshed to apply cleanly on top of Mauro's current git tree

o Jon's comments wrt. interrupt-context safe functions have been added

Your're fast!

OK, the code looks good. I'll test and apply it, if it passes on the test. 
The only missed thing is the comment about the kfifo size (see the email
I just sent). If you prefer, I can add a one line comment when applying it,
to avoid you to re-send the code.

Ok, tested it with a variety of NEC/NEC extended/RC-5 IR's I have, with the
saa7134 hardware. All worked.

There's just a few checkpatch.pl complains, and the most important thing:

It lacks your SOB ;)

Please fix the checkpatch.pl errors, add a kfifo size comment and your SOB
and resend it to me (or, if you prefer, just send your SOB. I can take care
of the rest, as they're just trivial things).

Ok, tested it with a variety of NEC/NEC extended/RC-5 IR's I have, with the
saa7134 hardware. All worked.

There's just a few checkpatch.pl complains, and the most important thing:

It lacks your SOB ;)

Please fix the checkpatch.pl errors, add a kfifo size comment and your SOB

Encoding pulse vs space with a negative sign, even if now hidden with
macros, is still just using a sign instead of a boolean.  Memory in
modern computers (and now microcontrollers) is cheap and only getting
cheaper.  Don't give up readability, flexibility, or mainatainability,
for the sake of saving memory.

Have you got a spec on the NEC protocol that justifies 562.5 usec?

>From the best I can tell from the sources I have read and some deductive
reasoning, 560 usec is the actual number.  Here's one:

	http://www.audiodevelopers.com/temp/Remote_Controls.ppt

Note:
	560 usec * 38 kHz ~= 4192/197

and that the three numbers that yield ~560 usec don't evenly divide each
other:

        $ factor 4192 197 38000
        4192: 2 2 2 2 2 131
        197: 197
        38000: 2 2 2 2 5 5 5 19

which strikes me as being done on purpose (maybe only by me?).

Also note that:

	4192 / 38 kHz = 110.32 usec

and public sources list 110 usec as the NEC repeat period.

This is slightly better than your previous patch, but the original
#defines were still clearer.  A maintainer coming through has to spend
time and energy on asking "16 what?" for example.


While I'm on the subject of maintainability:
It would be better to convert #defines into "const int"s within a
function scope, if these defines are only used in one function and file
scope is unneeded.

Why are 2 run-time divisons and 2 run-time abs() invocations for every
measurment preferrable to comparisons to compile-time constants?

Your TO_UNITS(), IS_SPACE(), etc. macros help with the readability and
maintainability over your previously proposed change, but you're still
having the CPU do extra work over what was done before.

Andy

I agree with this. I did it with signed ints in my first version, then
ripped it out and switched to duration + boolean. The duration/boolean
pair was much easier to understand. This is a matter of style, both
schemes work.

In the PPT you reference there are three numbers...
http://www.sbprojects.com/knowledge/ir/nec.htm

560us
1.12ms
2.25ms

I think those are rounding errors.

562.5 * 2 = 1.125ms * 2 = 2.25ms

Most IR protocols are related in a power of two pattern for their
timings to make them easy to decode.

The protocol doesn't appear to be based on an even number of 38Khz cycles.
These are easy things to change as we get better data on the protocols.

That was my point since the beginning: the amount of saved memory doesn't 
justify the lack of readability. I understand such constraints when using
a hardware implementation on a microcontroller chip that offers just a very 
few limited registers and a very small or no RAM. Also, if you define it with
something like:

struct {
	unsigned mark : 1;
	unsigned duration :31;
}

There's no memory spend at all: it will use just one unsigned int and it is
clearly indicated what's mark and what's duration.

Yes. It shouldn't be hard to convert the code to better represent the type/duration
vector in the future. Actually, that's one of the things i took into consideration 
when accepting the patch: the code readability were not seriously compromised with
the usage of the macros, and, if needed, a patch converting it to a structured type
wouldn't be hard.

I don't think that the actual number really matters much. The decoders are
reliable enough to work with such small differences. I suspect that, in
practice, hardware developers just use a close frequency that can be divided
by some existing XTAL clock already available at the machines. In the case of
video devices, most of them use a 27 MHz clock. If divided by 711, this gives
a clock of 37.974 kHz, and the closest timings are 579 us and 605 us.

So, in practical, I think we'll see much more devices using 579 us than
560 us or 562 us.

The units can be expressed as a comment:

#define NEC_BIT_PULSE                PULSE(1)	/* nec units */

A patch like that is welcome.

I found that the ratios between the numbers are the critical item, not
the numbers themselves.

The absolute numbers are used to differentiate the protocol families.
The total length of the messages is also important in differentiating
the families.

The protocol decoders should reconcile the total message length as
another check to make sure they aren't triggering on a message in the
wrong protocol. Add up the durations of everything seen and see if it
is within 5-10% of the expected message length.

I just found authoritative data.  It is in the datasheet for the uPD6122
authored by NEC Corporation:

	http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/nec/UPD6122G-002.pdf

Looking at page 11, especially line (5), it appears that all the timings
are derived in terms of 1/3 of a carrier period and powers of 2.

So....

Resonator frequency: fr = 455 kHz   (AM IF parts are cheap apparently)
Carrier frequency:   fc = fr / 12 = 37.91667 kHz
Duty cycle: 1/3

unit pulse:         64/3 / fc = 562.637 us (Jon was closer than me)
header pulse:  16 * 64/3 / fc =   9.002 ms
header space:   8 * 64/3 / fc =   4.501 ms
repeat space:   4 * 64/3 / fc =   2.250 ms
'1' symbol:     4 * 64/3 / fc =   2.250 ms
'0' symbol:     2 * 64/3 / fc =   1.125 ms
repeat time:  192 * 64/3 / fc = 108.026 ms

Page 15 also shows that the older chips had a silence gap that could
result in signals coming closer than 108 ms.


Whew!  I'm glad I've worked through my fit of Obsessive Compulsive
Disorder for now. :)


Regards,
Andy

Btw, a bad side effect of using the negative sign is that enabling debug will
present those messages, showing negative number of units and time to the poor user:

[42889.320163] ir_rc5_decode: RC5(x) decode started at state 1 (-1 units, -816us)
[42889.320166] ir_rc6_decode: RC6 decode started at state 0 (-2 units, -816us)
[42889.320169] ir_rc6_decode: RC6 decode failed at state 0 (-2 units, -816us)

It seems we need a debug macro also.

If all three of you agree on this approch, I'll write a patch to convert 
ir-core to use it instead.

I'm OK with it.

I haven't been paying close attention,so I must ask: What will the units
of duration be?

a. If we use nanoseconds the max duration is 2.147 seconds.

If passing pulse measurments out to LIRC, there are cases where irrecord
and lircd want the duration of the long silence between the
transmissions from the remote. Do any remotes have silence periods
longer than 2.1 seconds?

b. If we use microseconds, the max duration is 214.7 seconds or 3.6
minutes.  That's too high to be useful.

c.  Something in between, like 1/8 (or 1/2, 1/4, or 1/10) of a
microsecond?  1/8 gives a max duration of 26.8 seconds and a little
extra precision.

Regards,
Andy

(c) is really ugly.

(b) max limit is too high. Currently, the core assumes that everything longer
than one second is enough to re-start the state machine. So, I think (a)
is the better option.

Another way to see it: it is not reasonable for someone to press a key and wait
for 2.1 seconds to see one bit of the key to be recognized.

So, IMHO, let's just use nanoseconds with 31 bits. the sampling event function
should check for ktime value: if bigger than 2^32-1, then assume it is a
long event, resetting the state machine.

Cheers,
Mauro

Fine with me.

True enough.

Sounds OK to me.  Thanks for the reply.
