Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] IR decoding using BPF

The kernel IR decoders (drivers/media/rc/ir-*-decoder.c) support the most
widely used IR protocols, but there are many protocols which are not
supported[1]. For example, the lirc-remotes[2] repo has over 2700 remotes,
many of which are not supported by rc-core. There is a "long tail" of
unsupported IR protocols, for which lircd is need to decode the IR .

IR encoding is done in such a way that some simple circuit can decode it;
therefore, bpf is ideal.

In order to support all these protocols, here we have bpf based IR decoding.
The idea is that user-space can define a decoder in bpf, attach it to
the rc device through the lirc chardev.

Separate work is underway to extend ir-keytable to have an extensive library
of bpf-based decoders, and a much expanded library of rc keymaps.

Another future application would be to compile IRP[3] to a IR BPF program, and
so support virtually every remote without having to write a decoder for each.
It might also be possible to support non-button devices such as analog
directional pads or air conditioning remote controls and decode the target
temperature in bpf, and pass that to an input device.

Thanks,

Sean Young

Changes since v2:
 - Fixed locking issues
 - Improved self-test to cover more cases
 - Rebased on bpf-next again

Changes since v1:
 - Code review comments from Y Song <ys114321@...il.com> and
   Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@...radead.org>
 - Re-wrote sample bpf to be selftest
 - Renamed RAWIR_DECODER -> RAWIR_EVENT (Kconfig, context, bpf prog type)
 - Rebase on bpf-next
 - Introduced bpf_rawir_event context structure with simpler access checking

Sean Young (2):
  media: rc: introduce BPF_PROG_RAWIR_EVENT
  bpf: add selftest for rawir_event type program
