2005-09-07[PATCH] ipmi poweroff: fix chassis controlCorey Minyard
The IPMI power control function proc_write_chassctrl was badly written, it directly used userspace pointers, it assumed that strings were NULL terminated, and it used the evil sscanf function. This converts over to using the sysctl interface for this data and changes the semantics to be a little more logical.

2005-09-07[PATCH] ipmi: add hacks for IPMI chassis poweroff for certain Dell serversCorey Minyard
This patch allows Dell servers with IPMI controllers that predate IPMI 1.5 to use the standard poweroff or powercycle commands. These systems firmware don't set the chassis capability bit in the Get Device ID, but they do implement the standard poweroff and powercycle commands. Tested on RHEL3 kernel 2.4.21-20.ELsmp on a PowerEdge 2600. The standard ipmi_poweroff driver cannot drive these systems. With this patch, they power off or powercycle as expected.

2005-09-07[PATCH] ipmi: fix panic ipmb responseCorey Minyard
The "null message handler" in the IPMI driver is used in startup and panic situations to handle messages. It was only designed to work with messages from the local management controller, but in some cases it was used to get messages from remote managmenet controllers, and the system would then panic. This patch makes the "null message handler" in the IPMI driver more general so it works with any kind of message.

2005-09-07[PATCH] ipmi: clean up versioning of the IPMI driverCorey Minyard
This adds MODULE_VERSION, MODULE_DESCRIPTION, and MODULE_AUTHOR tags to the IPMI driver modules. Also changes the MODULE_VERSION to remove the prepended 'v' on each value, consistent with the module versioning policy. This patch also removes all the version information from everything except the ipmi_msghandler module.

2005-09-07[PATCH] ipmi: OEM flag handling and hacks for some Dell machinesCorey Minyard
The ipmi driver does not have a way to handle firmware-generated events which have the OEM[012] Data Available flags set. In such a case, the SMS_ATN bit may never get cleared by firmware, leaving the driver looping infinitely but never able to make any progress. This patch first simplifies storage and use of the data returned from an IPMI Get Device ID command. It then creates a new per-OEM handler hook, which should know how to handle events with the OEM[012] Data Available flags set. It then uses this to implement a workaround for IPMI 1.5-capable Dell PowerEdge servers which are susceptable to setting the OEM[012] Data Available flags when the driver can't handle it.

2005-09-07[PATCH] ipmi: add per-channel IPMB addressesCorey Minyard
IPMI allows multiple IPMB channels on a single interface, and each channel might have a different IPMB address. However, the driver has only one IPMB address that it uses for everything. This patch adds new IOCTLS and a new internal interface for setting per-channel IPMB addresses and LUNs. New systems are coming out with support for multiple IPMB channels, and they are broken without this patch.

2005-09-07[PATCH] vt: fix possible memory corruption in complement_posAntonino A. Daplas
Based on a patch from Andr Pereira de Almeida <andre@cachola.com.br> It might be possible for the saved pointer (*p) to become invalid in between vc_resizes, so saving the screen offset instead of the screen pointer is saner. This bug is very hard to trigger though, but Andre probably did, if he's submitting this patch. Anyway, with Andre's patch, it's still possible for the offsets to be still illegal, if the new screen size is smaller than the old one. So I've also added checks if the offsets are still within the screenbuffer size.

2005-09-07[PATCH] Console blanking locking fixStephane Doyon
I've had WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED warnings when calling TIOCLINUX TIOCL_BLANKSCREEN and TIOCL_UNBLANKSCREEN. (I'm blind and I use a braille display. I use those functions to blank my laptop's screen so people don't read it, and hopefully to conserve power.) The warnings are from these places: do_blank_screen at drivers/char/vt.c:2754 (Not tainted) save_screen at drivers/char/vt.c:575 (Not tainted) do_unblank_screen at drivers/char/vt.c:2822 (Not tainted) set_palette at drivers/char/vt.c:2908 (Not tainted) At a glance I would think the following patch ought to fix that.

2005-09-05[SPARC64]: Kconfig fix (GEN_RTC dependencies)Al Viro
Yet another architecture not coverd by GEN_RTC - sparc64 never picked it until now and it doesn't have asm/rtc.h to go with it, so it wouldn't compile anyway (or have these ioctls in the user-visible headers, for that matter). FWIW, I'm very tempted to introduce ARCH_HAS_GEN_RTC and have it set in arch/*/Kconfig for architectures that know what to do with this stuff - for something supposedly generic the list of architectures where it doesn't work is getting too long...

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.

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.

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.
