2005-09-05Merge watchdog driver updatesLinus Torvalds
Automated merge from master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wim/linux-2.6-watchdog failed due to duplicate different changes to Kconfig file. Manually fixed up. Hopefully.
2005-09-05[PATCH] ppc32: Cleaned up global namespace of Book-E watchdog variablesKumar Gala

2005-09-05[PATCH] ppc32: Added support for the Book-E style Watchdog TimerKumar Gala
PowerPC 40x and Book-E processors support a watchdog timer at the processor core level. The timer has implementation dependent timeout frequencies that can be configured by software. One the first Watchdog timeout we get a critical exception. It is left to board specific code to determine what should happen at this point. If nothing is done and another timeout period expires the processor may attempt to reset the machine. Command line parameters: wdt=0 : disable watchdog (default) wdt=1 : enable watchdog wdt_period=N : N sets the value of the Watchdog Timer Period. The Watchdog Timer Period meaning is implementation specific. Check User Manual for the processor for more details. This patch is based off of work done by Takeharu Kato.

2005-09-03[WATCHDOG] softdog-timer-running-oops.patchChuck Ebbert
The softdog watchdog timer has a bug that can create an oops: 1. Load the module without the nowayout option. 2. Open the driver and close it without writing 'V' before close. 3. Unload the module. The timer will continue to run... 4. Oops happens when timer fires. Reported Sun, 10 Oct 2004, by Michael Schierl <schierlm@gmx.de> Fix is easy: always take a reference on the module on open. Release it only when the device is closed and no timer is running. Tested on 2.6.13-rc6 using the soft_noboot option. While the timer is running and the device is closed, the module use count stays at 1. After the timer fires, it drops to 0. Repeatedly opening and closing the driver caused no problems. Please apply.

2005-09-03[WATCHDOG] w83627hf_wdt.c-initialized_bios_bugP@Draig Brady
Attached is a small update to the w83627hf watchdog driver to initialise appropriately if it was already initialised in the BIOS. On tyan motherboards for e.g. you can init the watchdog to 4 mins, then when the driver is loaded it sets the watchdog to "seconds" mode, and then machine will reboot within 4 seconds. So this patch resets the timeout to the configured value if the watchdog is already running. Signed-off-by: P@draig Brady <P@draigBrady.com> Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>

2005-09-03[WATCHDOG] correct sysfs name for watchdog devicesOlaf Hering
While looking for possible candidates for our udev.rules package, I found a few odd ->name properties. /dev/watchdog has minor 130 according to devices.txt. Since all watchdog drivers use the misc_register() call, they will end up in /sys/class/misc/$foo. udev may create the /dev/watchdog node if the driver is loaded. I dont have such a device, so I cant test it. The drivers below provide names with spaces and even with / in it. Not a big deal, but apps may expect /dev/watchdog.

2005-08-03[PATCH] ARM: 2833/2: Remove support for WDIOF_MAGICCLOSE from sa1100-wdtIan Campbell
Patch from Ian Campbell On PXA255 there is no way to disable the watchdog. Turning off OIER[E3] as suggested in the existing comment does not work. I posted a note to the ARM mailing list a little while ago asking for opinions from people using SA1100. There was one reponse from Nico who believes that the SA1100 is the same as the PXA255 in this respect. You also asked me to involve the watchdog maintainer which I tried to do but didn't hear anything back. There are only a couple of other drivers which can't stop the watchdog and there seems to be no consistancy regarding printing an error etc. I decided to print something since that matches the case for all the other drivers when NOWAYOUT is turned on. Also, I changed the device .name to "watchdog" like most of the other watchdogs. udev uses it as the device name (by default) and spaces etc. get in the way. Superceded 2833/1 because 2.6.13-rc4 caused rejects. Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell <icampbell@arcom.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2005-07-01[PATCH] PCI: clean up dynamic pci id logicGreg Kroah-Hartman
The dynamic pci id logic has been bothering me for a while, and now that I started to look into how to move some of this to the driver core, I thought it was time to clean it all up. It ends up making the code smaller, and easier to follow, and fixes a few bugs at the same time (dynamic ids were not being matched everywhere, and so could be missed on some call paths for new devices, semaphore not needed to be grabbed when adding a new id and calling the driver core, etc.) I also renamed the function pci_match_device() to pci_match_id() as that's what it really does.

2005-06-23[PATCH] ppc64: add a watchdog driver for rtasUtz Bacher
Add a watchdog using the RTAS OS surveillance service. This is provided as a simpler alternative to rtasd. The added value is that it works with standard watchdog client programs and can therefore also do user space monitoring. On BPA, rtasd is not really useful because the hardware does not have much to report with event-scan. The driver should also work on other platforms that support the OS surveillance rtas calls.

2005-06-20[PATCH] ARM: 2701/1: free up ixp2000 timer 4 for the watchdogLennert Buytenhek
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek The IXP2000 has four timers, but if we're on an A-step IXP2800, timer 2 and 3 don't work. We need two timers for timekeeping (one for the timer interrupt and one for tracking missed jiffies), so on early IXP2800s we have no other choice but to use timer 1 and 4 for that, but on all other IXP2000s we'd rather leave timer 4 free since that's the only timer we can use for the watchdog. So, on buggy IXP2000s (i.e. the A-step IXP2800) we use timer 4 for tracking missed jiffies, and on all all non-buggy IXP2000s (i.e. everything but the A-step IXP2800) we use timer 2. On a pre-production IXP2800, this patch should print these messages on boot: Enabling IXP2800 erratum #25 workaround Unable to use IXP2000 watchdog due to IXP2800 erratum #25 On any non-buggy IXP2800 (as well as on IXP2400s) you shouldn't see anything at all, and the watchdog should be usable again.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
