When I try to use CVS-ipmitool on Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64 to talk to a SuperMicros
SIMSO-HTC (Rev. 2.5, IPMI 2.0) chip on a X7SBi-Board via SOL I often get doubled
characters when typing fast, making the SOL interface basically unusable for
anyone accustomed to using a keyboard for longer than a month ;)
At first I thought this was an issue with SuperMicros implementation of the
protocol and/or the flow control
setup on the machine, but their own app works fine (but not the Linux CLI, which
is maybe
based on ipmitool?). But after reading the IPMI 2.0 SOL specs and watching the
debug output for a bit, it seems that is really an issue with lanplus-SOL
protocol implentation of ipmitool in general.
Specifically, in lanplus.c:ipmi_lanplus_send_payload, when waiting for a SOL
response the case that a non SOL packet is returned is not being
checked. Also the "if (is_sol_packet(rsp) && rsp->data_len)" branch does
terminate with a break, but instead goes for a send try, that seems
counterintuitive, Both these things cause doubled characters for me.
The attached patch seems to solve these issues in my case, but I don't claim to
fully understand your protocol code and/or the protocol, so maybe it will cause
problems elsewhere, especially under packet loss conditions.

Commit implements `Enable status` which shows/is in alignment with (22.27) Get
User Access Command and displays User ID Enable/Disable status of given User ID
at given channel.
PICMG 3.1 R2.0 introduces new a new Link Class field in the FRU
Link Descriptors which is the upper 4 bits of the Link Type field.
This new Link Class field specifies SERDES lanes with 10.3125Gbd
signalling rate.
It also introduces the new Base-KX and Base-KX4 types which are the
new IEEE replacements for the PICMG 3.0 Base-BX and Base-BX4 types.
This patch decodes these new types and fields and will print out
proper descriptions for each one based on PICMG 3.1 R2.0
PICMG extension 5(UTCA, MicroTCA) is not detected as valid extension.
The following patch fixes that at one place. In the second place the board type
is detected in a similar way, but it isn't clear if a patch is needed there, too.
In the new version of ipmitool 1.8.15 and above, sol deactivate command was not
closing the session, This patch is to fix close console session When we issue
sol deactivate command.
Commit adds a check as a workaround for segfault reported in ID:335. However,
the proper fix is to rewrite parts of lib/ipmi_hpmfwupg.c not to put whole
firmware image into memory. Also, MD5 checksum part needs to be rewritten,
because it won't work for large firmware images.

The netfn structures are populated sequentially in the _gather_info
function and they are accessed only by even indices (and to the double
of its real length). This results in a segmentation fault if you run
* ipmitool firewall reset
This patch fixes the behaviour so that the ipmi_firewall_reset function
treats the structure the same way as the rest of the code does.

Commit adds support for cipher suites 6/7/8 (HMAC-MD5) and cipher
suites 15/16/17 (HMAC_SHA256).
This also fixes:
* ID:442 - IPMI_AUTH_RAKP_HMAC_MD5 support in lanplus
* ID:141 - RMCP+ Cipher-suite 17 not supported
Original author Liebig Holger(Fujitsu).
Code cleanup done by Florian Breu and Zdenek Styblik.
Reworked event type code/sensor type parsing in order to support
VITA-specific extensions. Added VITA-specific sensor-specific event
types and VITA-specific sensor types.
Commit re-works user interface of PEF module as well as internal functions.
Not all of the functionality is implemented as the main aim was interface
layout.
It's possible this commit introduces some breaking changes.
Changes are based on patch submitted by Jordan Hargrave, Dell Inc.
The events can be removed as desired on certain machines so the only way
to get the proper last X events is to traverse them all not outputting
the first NR_EVENTS - X events.
