50   function to make it safer.
51
52   Modification:
53
54   - The meaning of the returned result.
55   - Change parameters from individual pointers to a struct.
56   - Check the length provided in the message won't exceed the buffer.

84
85   Avoid a caller-controlled NULL pointer dereference in the library
86   implementation.
87
88## [0.9.1] - 2024-09-07
89
90### Changed
91
921. Moved evolutions intended for v0.9.0 into place
93
94   Evolutions for the release have been moved from `evolutions/current` to
95   `evolutions/v0.9.1`. Library users can apply them to migrate off of
96   deprecated APIs.
97
98## [0.9.0] - 2024-09-07
99
100### Added
101
1021. base: Define macros for reserved TIDs
1032. pdr: Add pldm_entity_association_pdr_add_contained_entity_to_remote_pdr()
1043. pdr: Add pldm_entity_association_pdr_create_new()

1098. platform: Add decode_pldm_platform_cper_event() API
1109. decode_get_pdr_repository_info_resp_safe()
111
112   Replaces decode_get_pdr_repository_info_resp() as discussed in the
113   `Deprecated` section below
114
11510. decode_get_pdr_resp_safe()
116
117    Replaces decode_get_pdr_resp() as discussed in the `Deprecated` section
118    below
119
120### Changed
121
1221. pdr: Stabilise related decode_entity_auxiliary_names_pdr() APIs
1232. platform: Rework decode/encode_pldm_message_poll_event_data() APIs
1243. platform: Stabilise decode_pldm_message_poll_event_data() APIs
1254. ABI break for decode_sensor_op_data()
126
127   Applying LIBPLDM_CC_NONNULL to the internal msgbuf APIs caused
128   abi-compliance-checker to flag a change in the register containing the
129   parameter `previous_op_state`.
130
1315. platform: Stabilise decode_pldm_platform_cper_event() API
132
133### Deprecated
134
1351. Rename and deprecate functions with the `_check` suffix
136
137   All library function return values always need to be checked. The `_check`
138   suffix is redundant, so remove it. Migration to the non-deprecated
139   equivalents without the `_check` suffix can be performed using
140   `scripts/ apply-renames` and the [clang-rename][] configurations under
141   `evolutions/`
142
143   The deprecated functions:
144
145   - `get_fru_record_by_option_check()`
146   - `pldm_bios_table_append_pad_checksum_check()`
147   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_def_num_check()`
148   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_pv_hdls_check()`
149   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_pv_num_check()`
150   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_encode_check()`
151   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_integer_encode_check()`
152   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_string_decode_def_string_length_check()`
153   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_string_encode_check()`
154   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_value_entry_encode_enum_check()`
155   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_value_entry_encode_integer_check()`
156   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_value_entry_encode_string_check()`
157   - `pldm_bios_table_string_entry_decode_string_check()`
158   - `pldm_bios_table_string_entry_encode_check()`
159   - `pldm_entity_association_pdr_add_check()`
160   - `pldm_entity_association_pdr_add_from_node_check()`
161   - `pldm_pdr_add_check()`
162   - `pldm_pdr_add_fru_record_set_check()`
163
164[clang-rename]: https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-rename.html
165
1662. `decode_get_pdr_repository_info_resp()`
167
168   Users should move to `decode_get_pdr_repository_info_resp_safe()` which
169   eliminates the opportunity for buffer overruns when extracting objects from
170   the message.
171
1723. `decode_get_pdr_resp()`
173
174   Users should move to `decode_get_pdr_resp_safe()` which reduces the
175   invocation tedium and improves memory safety over `decode_get_pdr_resp()`.
176
177### Removed
178
1791. IBM OEM header compatibility symlinks.
180
181   Anyone left using the deprecated paths can migrate using the coccinelle patch
182   at `evolutions/current/oem-ibm-header-compat.cocci`.
183
184### Fixed
185
1861. requester: instance-id: Release read lock on conflict

3917. pdr: pldm_pdr_destroy(): Exit early if repo is NULL
3928. pdr: Document preconditions for trivial accessor functions
393
394   A trivial accessor function is one that exposes properties of an object in a
395   way can't result in an error, beyond passing an invalid argument to the
396   function. For APIs meeting this definition we define a precondition that
397   struct pointers must point to valid objects to avoid polluting the function
398   prototypes. The following APIs now have this precondition explicitly defined:
399
400   - pldm_entity_extract()
401   - pldm_entity_get_parent()
402   - pldm_entity_is_exist_parent()
403   - pldm_entity_is_node_parent()
404   - pldm_is_current_parent_child
405   - pldm_is_empty_entity_assoc_tree()
406   - pldm_pdr_get_record_count()
407   - pldm_pdr_get_record_handle()

529
5301. include: Move installed transport.h under libpldm/
5312. libpldm: Explicit deprecated, stable and testing ABI classes
5323. meson: Reduce strength of oem-ibm requirements from enabled to allowed
533
534   The `oem-ibm` feature is now enabled by the default meson configuration, for
535   CI purposes. `oem-ibm` is still disabled by default in the `libpldm` bitbake
536   recipe:
537
538   <https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/blob/master/meta-phosphor/recipes-phosphor/libpldm/libpldm_git.bb#L10>
539
540   To disable `oem-ibm` in your development builds, pass `-Doem-ibm=disabled`
541   when invoking `meson setup`
542
5434. bios_table: Relax pldm_bios_table_string_entry_decode_string_check()
5445. bios_table: Relax pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_pv_hdls_check()

546### Deprecated
547
5481. bios_table: Deprecate APIs with arguments sanitized using assert()
549
550   C provides enough foot-guns without us encoding them into library APIs.
551   Specifically, deprecate the following in favour of their `*_check()` variants
552   which ensure assertions won't fail or otherwise invoke UB:
553
554   - pldm_bios_table_string_entry_encode()
555   - pldm_bios_table_string_entry_decode_string()
556   - pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_encode()
557   - pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_pv_num()
558   - pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_def_num()
559   - pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_pv_hdls()
560   - pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_string_encode()
561   - pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_string_decode_def_string_length()
562
563### Removed
564
5651. libpldm: Remove the requester-api option
566
567### Fixed
568
5691. requester: Make pldm_open() return existing fd
5702. transport: Prevent sticking in waiting for response
5713. transport: Match on response in pldm_transport_send_recv_msg()
5724. requester: Add check before accessing hdr in pldm_recv()
5735. bios_table: pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_string_info_check() NULL deref
