2005-11-07[PATCH] ipmi: various si cleanupCorey Minyard
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.

2005-11-07[PATCH] ipmi: use refcount in message handlerCorey Minyard
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.

2005-11-07[PATCH] tpm: Fix lack of driver_unregister in init failcasesKylene Jo Hall
driver_unregister is not being properly called when the init function returns an error case. Restructured the return logic such that this and the other cleanups all happen in one place. Preformed many of the cleanups that Andrew Morton's patch on Thursday made in tpm_atmel.c. Fixed Matthieu's concern about writing before discovery. (akpm: rmk said: This driver is buggy. You must not provide your own release function - it doesn't solve the problem which the warning (which you get when you don't provide one) is telling you about. You should convert your device driver over to the replacement dynamic platform support, once it is merged. IOW, something like: pdev = platform_device_alloc("mydev", id); if (pdev) { err = platform_device_add_resources(pdev, &resources, ARRAY_SIZE(resources)); if (err == 0) err = platform_device_add_data(pdev, &platform_data, sizeof(platform_data)); if (err == 0) err = platform_device_add(pdev); } else { err = -ENOMEM; } if (err) platform_device_put(pdev); ) Signed-off-by: Kylene Jo Hall <kjhall@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-10-30[PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

2005-10-30[PATCH] hpet: allow shared interruptsClemens Ladisch
This patch adds support for shared HPET interrupts. The driver previously acknowledged interrupts for both edge and level interrupts, but didn't actually allow a shared interrupt in the latter case. We use a new per-timer flag to save whether the timer's interrupt might be shared, and use it to do the processing required for level interrupts only if necessary.

2005-10-30[PATCH] HPET: make frequency calculations 32 bit safeClemens Ladisch
On 32-bit architectures, the multiplication in the argument for hpet_time_div() often overflows. In the typical case of a 14.32 MHz timer, this happens when the desired frequency exceeds 61 Hz. To avoid this multiplication, we can precompute and store the hardware timer frequency, instead of the period, in the device structure, which leaves us with a simple division when computing the number of timer ticks. As a side effect, this also removes a theoretical bug where the timer interpolator's frequency would be computed as a 32-bit value even if the HPET frequency is greater than 2^32 Hz (the HPET spec allows up to 10 GHz).
