2008-06-20[watchdog] hpwdt: fix use of inline assemblyLinus Torvalds
The inline assembly in drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c was incredibly broken, and included all the function prologue and epilogue stuff, even though it was itself then inside a C function where the compiler would add its own prologue and epilogue on top of it all. This then just _happened_ to work if you had exactly the right compiler version and exactly the right compiler flags, so that gcc just happened to not create any prologue at all (the gcc-generated epilogue wouldn't matter, since it would never be reached). But the more proper way to fix it is to simply not do this. Move the inline asm to the top level, with no surrounding function at all (the better alternative would be to remove the prologue and make it actually use proper description of the arguments to the inline asm, but that's a bigger change than the one I'm willing to make right now).

The old setup works better. Signed-off-by: Thomas Mingarelli <Thomas.Mingarelli@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
2008-06-17Revert "[WATCHDOG] make watchdog/hpwdt.c:asminline_call() static"Thomas Mingarelli
The driver needs the asmlinkage tag and the CFLAGS line in the Makefile. Without it the driver doesn't work. Signed-off-by: Thomas Mingarelli <Thomas.Mingarelli@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
2008-05-25[WATCHDOG] hpwdt: Fix NMI handling.Mingarelli, Thomas
I need to just return in case it's not my NMI so someone else can take a look at it (and reset die_nmi_called to 0 in case I actually do get one that's mine to handle). Signed-off-by: Thomas Mingarelli <thomas.mingarelli@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
2008-03-06[WATCHDOG] make watchdog/hpwdt.c:asminline_call() staticAdrian Bunk
This patch makes the needlessly global asminline_call() static and removes the not required "asmlinkage". Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org> Acked-by: Thomas Mingarelli <Thomas.Mingarelli@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
2008-03-06[WATCHDOG] hpwdt: Use dmi_walk() instead of own copyRoland Dreier
We can simplify the code by deleting all of the duplicated DMI table walking code and using the kernel's existing dmi_walk() interface to find the DMI entry the driver is looking for.

2008-03-06[WATCHDOG] Fix return value warning in hpwdtRoland Dreier
The return value of smbios_scan_machine() is never used, and when it succeeds it doesn't return anything, so just make it void.

2008-03-06[WATCHDOG] Fix declaration of struct smbios_entry_point in hpwdtRoland Dreier
On my HP DL380 G5 system running a 64-bit kernel, loading the hpwdt driver causes a crash because the driver attempts to ioremap an invalid physical address. This is because the driver has an incorrect definition of the SMBIOS table entry point structure: the table address is only a 32-bit quantity, and making it a u64 means that the high-order 32 bits end up containing garbage. Correcting the structure definition fixes the driver so that it loads without any problems on my system.

2008-02-18[WATCHDOG] HP ProLiant WatchDog driverThomas Mingarelli
Hp is providing a Hardware WatchDog Timer driver that will only work with the specific HW Timer located in the HP ProLiant iLO 2 ASIC. The iLO 2 HW Timer will generate a Non-maskable Interrupt (NMI) 9 seconds before physically resetting the server, by removing power, so that the event can be logged to the HP Integrated Management Log (IML), a Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM). The logging of the event is performed using the HP ProLiant ROM via an Industry Standard access known as a BIOS Service Directory Entry.
