dba9b4f6a0 ipmi: add powerpc openfirmware sensing
Add support for of_platform_driver to the ipmi_si module.  When loading the
module, the driver will be registered to of_platform.  The driver will be
probed for all devices with the type ipmi.  It's supporting devices with
compatible settings ipmi-kcs, ipmi-smic and ipmi-bt.  Only ipmi-kcs could be
tested.

4ff31d7757 [PATCH] ipmi: check, if default ports are accessible on PPC
ipmi_si_intf tries to access default ports, if no device could be found
elsewhere.  On PPC we have a function to check, if these legacy IO ports
are accessible.  This patch adds a check for these ports on PPC.  This
patch fixes a breakage of IPMI module on PPC machines without a BMC.

0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
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.

cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
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).

78ba2faf71 [PATCH] IPMI: Fix some RCU problems
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.

1d5636cc07 [PATCH] IPMI: misc fixes
Fix various problems pointed out by Andrew Morton and others:
  * platform_device_unregister checks for NULL, no need to check here.
  * Formatting fixes.
  * Remove big macro and convert to a function.
  * Use strcmp instead of defining a broken case-insensitive comparison,
    and make the output parameter info match the case of the input one
    (change "I/O" to "i/o").
  * Return the length instead of 0 from the hotmod parameter handler.
  * Remove some unused cruft.
  * The trydefaults parameter only has to do with scanning the "standard"
    addresses, don't check for that on ACPI.

4d7cbac7c8 [PATCH] IPMI: Fix BT long busy
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.

55162fb165 [PATCH] IPMI: fix request events
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.

Add detection of those commands (cold reset, warm reset, and any firmware
command) and turns off automatic processing for 30 seconds.  It also add a
manual override either way.

The root cause is the device struct is initialized twice.

If the device is allocated dynamically by platform_device_alloc,
platform_device_alloc will initialize struct device, then,
platform_device_add should be used to register the device.

The difference between platform_device_register and platform_device_add is
platform_device_register will initiate the device while platform_device_add
won't.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
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.

a51f4a81e7 [PATCH] IPMI: allow user to override the kernel IPMI daemon enable
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.

d61a3ead26 [PATCH] IPMI: reserve I/O ports separately
From: Corey Minyard <minyard@acm.org>

This patch is pretty important to get in for IPMI, new systems have been
changing the way ACPI and IPMI interact, and this works around the problems
for now.  This is a temporary fix until we get proper ACPI handling in
IPMI.

Fixed releasing already-allocated regions when a later request fails, and
forward-ported it to HEAD.

Some BIOSes reserve disjoint I/O regions in their ACPI tables for the IPMI
controller.  This causes problems when trying to register the entire I/O
region.  Therefore we must register each I/O port separately.

453823ba08 [PATCH] IPMI: fix startup race condition
Matt Domsch noticed a startup race with the IPMI kernel thread, it was
possible (though extraordinarly unlikely) that a message could come in
before the upper layer was ready to handle it.  This patch splits the
startup processing of an IPMI interface into two parts, one to get ready
and one to actually start the processes to receive messages from the
interface.

e041c68341 [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes
The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:

    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

  ATOMIC CHAINS
  -------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain
arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:		powerpc_die_chain
arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c:		sparc64die_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:		die_chain

kernel/panic.c:				panic_notifier_list
kernel/profile.c:			task_free_notifier
net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:		hci_notifier
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_chain
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_expect_chain
net/ipv6/addrconf.c:			inet6addr_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain

  BLOCKING CHAINS
  ---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

50c812b2b9 [PATCH] ipmi: add full sysfs support
Add full driver model support for the IPMI driver.  It links in the proper
bus and device support.

It adds an "ipmi" driver interface that has each BMC discovered by the
driver (as a device).  These BMCs appear in the devices/platform directory.
 If there are multiple interfaces to the same BMC, the driver should
discover this and will only have one BMC entry.  The BMC entry will have
pointers to each interface device that connects to it.

The device information (statistics and config information) has not yet been
ported over to the driver model from proc, that will come later.

This work was based on work by Yani Ioannou.  I basically rewrote it using
that code as a guide, but he still deserves credit :).

12fc1d7b4b [PATCH] IPMI: fix issues reported by Coverity in ipmi_msghandler.c
While looking to the report by Coverity in ipmi, I came across the
following issue:

The IPMI message handler relies on two defines which are the same -one in
include/linux/ipmi.h
#define IPMI_NUM_CHANNELS 0x10
and one in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.
#define IPMI_MAX_CHANNELS       16
These are used interchangeably in ipmi_msghandler.c, but since the array
addr->channels[] is of size IPMI_MAX_CHANNELS, I have made a patch that
uses IPMI_MAX_CHANNELS for all the checks for the array index.

NOTE: You could probably remove the line that defines IPMI_NUM_CHANNELS
from ipmi.h, or move IPMI_MAX_CHANNELS to ipmi.h

The panic is due to dereferencing a pointer which is not initialized.  The
pointer is initialized in port_setup() and/or mem_setup() and used in
init_one_smi() and cleanup_one_si(), however if either port_setup() or
mem_setup() return ENODEV the pointer does not get initialized.

a9a2c44ff0 [PATCH] ipmi: add timer thread
We must poll for responses to commands when interrupts aren't in use.  The
default poll interval is based on using a kernel timer, which varies with HZ.
For character-based interfaces like KCS and SMIC though, that can be way too
slow (>15 minutes to flash a new firmware with KCS, >20 seconds to retrieve
the sensor list).

This creates a low-priority kernel thread to poll more often.  If the state
machine is idle, so is the kernel thread.  But if there's an active command,
it polls quite rapidly.  This decrease a firmware flash time from 15 minutes
to 1.5 minutes, and the sensor list time to 4.5 seconds, on a Dell PowerEdge
x8x system.

The timer-based polling remains, to ensure some amount of responsiveness even
under high user process CPU load.

Checking for a stopped timer at rmmod now uses atomics and del_timer_sync() to
ensure safe stoppage.

c3e7e7916e [PATCH] ipmi: kcs error0 delay
BMCs can get into ERROR0 state while flashing new firmware, particularly while
the BMC is erasing the next flash block, which may take a just under 2 seconds
on a Dell PowerEdge 2800 (1.75 seconds typical), during which time the
single-threaded firmware may not be able to process new commands.  In
particular, clearing OBF may not take effect immediately.

We want it to delay in ERROR0 after clearing OBF a bit waiting for OBF to
actually be clear before proceeding.

This introduces a new return value from the LLDD's event loop,
SI_SM_CALL_WITH_TICK_DELAY.  This means the calling thread/timer should
schedule_timeout() at least 1 tick, rather than busy-wait.  This is a longer
delay than SI_SM_CALL_WITH_DELAY, which is typically a 250us busy-wait.

21dcd300b1 [PATCH] ipmi: bt restart reset fixes
The current BT retry/reset mechanism fails to succeed on a PowerEdge 1650,
when the controller is wedged with B2H_ATN asserted at XACTION_START.  If this
occurs, no further commands will ever succeed unless the state of the
controller is first cleared out.

Furthermore, the soft reset would only occur if the first command after insmod
was the one that timed out, not if a later command timed out.

This patch changes the retry/reset mechanism to be as follows:

Before retrying a command, clear the state of the BT controller such that the
flags represent ready for a new transaction.  This increases the chance of
success of the restarted transaction.

After 2 retries, issue a soft reset and retry one more time before giving up
and reporting back a failure.

21d6c54215 [PATCH] ipmi: poweroff cleanups
Make module_param and MODULE_PARAM_DESC agree on poweroff_powercycle name.

There was an extraneous ifdef in the IPMI poweroff code that prevented it from
working if PROC_FS was disabled.

cc4673eecd [PATCH] ipmi: watchdog parms in sysfs
Modify the IPMI watchdog parameters (the ones that make sense) to be exported
from sysfs.  This is somewhat complicated because these parameters have
side-effects that must be handled.

c4edff1c19 [PATCH] ipmi: various si cleanup
A number of small changes for the various system interface drivers,
consolidated from a number of patches from Matt Domsch.

Clear B2H_ATN and drain the BMC message buffer on command timeout.  This
prevents further commands from failing after a timeout.

Add bt_debug and smic_debug module parameters, expose them in sysfs.  This
lets you enable and disable debugging messages at runtime.

Unsigned jiffies math in ipmi_si_intf.c causes a too-large value to be passed
to ->event() after jiffies wrap-around.  The BT driver had caught this, but
didn't know how to fix it.  Now all calls to ->event() use a sane value for
time.

Increase timeout for commands handed to the BT driver from 2 seconds to 5
seconds.  This is necessary particularly when the previous command was a
"Clear SEL", as that command completes, yet the BMC isn't really ready to
handle another command yet.

Silence BT debugging messages which were being printed on the console.

Increase SMIC timeout form 1/10s to 2s.  This is needed on Dell PowerEdge 2650
and PowerEdge 750 with ERA/O cards to allow commands to complete without
timing out.

Adds kcs_debug module param, to match behavior of BT and SMIC.  This also
prevents messages from being sent to the console unless explicitly requested.

393d2cc354 [PATCH] ipmi: use refcount in message handler
This patch is rather large, but it really can't be done in smaller chunks
easily and I believe it is an important change.  This has been out and tested
for a while in the latest IPMI driver release.  There are no functional
changes, just changes as necessary to convert the locking over (and a few
minor style updates).

The IPMI driver uses read/write locks to ensure that things exist while they
are in use.  This is bad from a number of points of view.  This patch removes
the rwlocks and uses refcounts and RCU lists to manage what the locks did.
