2007-05-14Revert "ipmi: add new IPMI nmi watchdog handling"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit f64da958dfc83335de1d2bef9d3868f30feb4e53. Andi Kleen is unhappy with the changes, and they really do not seem worth it. IPMI could use DIE_NMI_IPI instead of the new callback, even though that ends up having its own set of problems too, mainly because the IPMI code cannot really know the NMI was from IPMI or not. Manually fix up conflicts in arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c and drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_watchdog.c.

2007-05-12IPMI: Add PPC openfirmware unregisterChristian Krafft
When trying to load the ipmi_si module on a powerpc with no BMC (baseboard management controller) the driver failes to load correctly, but doesn't unregister itself from of_platform. So, on a second modprobe the kernel crashes. This patch adds the missing unregister call.

2007-05-08move die notifier handling to common codeChristoph Hellwig
This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place) arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

Convert over to the new NMI handling for getting IPMI watchdog timeouts via an NMI. This add config options to know if there is the ability to receive NMIs and if it has an NMI post processing call. Then it modifies the IPMI watchdog to take advantage of this so that it can know if an NMI comes in. It also adds testing that the IPMI NMI watchdog works.

2007-05-08ipmi: allow shared interruptsCorey Minyard
The IPMI driver used enable_irq and disable_irq when it got into situations where it couldn't allocate memory; it did this to avoid having the interrupt just lock the machine when it couldn't get memory to perform the transaction to disable the interrupt. This patch modifies the driver to not use disable_irq and enable_irq. It instead sends the messages to the BMC to perform this operation. It also makes sure interrupts are cleanly disabled when the interface is shut down and cleans up some shutdown things that are no longer necessary.

2007-03-05[PATCH] ipmi: check, if default ports are accessible on PPCChristian Krafft

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2007-02-11[PATCH] IPMI: Fix some RCU problemsCorey Minyard
Fix some RCU problem pointed out by Paul McKenney of IBM. These are: The wholesale move of the command receivers list into a new list was not safe because the list will point to the new tail during a traversal, so the traversal will never end on a reader if this happens during a read. Memory barriers were needed to handle proper ordering of the setting of the IPMI interface as valid. Readers might not see proper ordering of data otherwise. In ipmi_smi_watcher_register(), the use of the _rcu suffix on the list is unnecessary. This require the list_splice_init_rcu() patch previously posted.

2006-12-07[PATCH] IPMI: Fix BT long busyCorey Minyard
The IPMI BT subdriver has been patched to survive "long busy" timeouts seen during firmware upgrades and resets. The patch never returns the HOSED state, synthesizes response messages with meaningful completion codes, and recovers gracefully when the hardware finishes the long busy. The subdriver now issues a "Get BT Capabilities" command and properly uses those results. More informative completion codes are returned on error from transaction starts; this logic was propogated to the KCS and SMIC subdrivers. Finally, indent and other style quirks were normalized.

2006-12-07[PATCH] IPMI: fix request eventsCorey Minyard
When the IPMI message handler requested that the interface look for events, the ipmi_si driver would request flags, see if the event buffer full flag was set, then request events. It's better to just send the request for events, as it cuts one message out of the transaction if there happens to be events, and it will fetch events even if the event buffer was not full.

A wrong function was being used to free a list; this fixes the problem. Otherwise, an oops at unload time was possible. But not likely, since you can't have any users when you unload the modules and it is very hard to get messages into this queue without users.

2006-11-03[PATCH] ipmi_si_intf.c sets bad class_mask with PCI_DEVICE_CLASSYvan Seth
Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7439 It looks like device registration in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c was cleaned up and a small error was made when setting the class_mask. The fix is simple as the correct mask value is defined in the code but is not used.

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

2006-10-03[PATCH] IPMI: allow user to override the kernel IPMI daemon enableCorey Minyard
After the previous patch to disable the kernel IPMI daemon if interrupts were available, the issue of broken hardware was raised, and a reasonable request to add an override was mode. So here it is. Allow the user to force the kernel ipmi daemon on or off. This way, hardware with broken interrupts or users that are not concerned with performance can turn it on or off to their liking.

2006-10-01[PATCH] ipmi: don't start kipmid if the IPMI driver can use interruptsCorey Minyard
If the driver has interrupts available to it, there is really no reason to have a kernel daemon push the IPMI state machine. Note that I have experienced machines where the interrupts do not work correctly. This was a long time ago and hopefully things are better now. If some machines still have broken interrupts, a blacklist will need to be added.

A call to device_unregister() is missing, resulting to a oops when you remove the ipmi_msghandler.
