2009-06-18[WATCHDOG] iTCO_wdt: Fix ICH7+ reboot issue.Wim Van Sebroeck
Bugzilla: 9868 & 10195. There seems to be a bug into the SMM code that handles TCO Timeout SMI. Andriy Gapon found that the code on his DG33TL system does the following: > The handler is quite simple - it tests value in TCO1_CNT against 0x800, i.e. > checks TCO_TMR_HLT. If the bit is set the handler goes into an infinite loop, > apparently to allow the second timeout and reboot. Otherwise it simply clears > TIMEOUT bit in TCO1_STS and that's it. > So the logic seems to be reversed, because it is hard to see how TIMEOUT can > get set to 1 and SMI generated when TCO_TMR_HLT is set (other than a > transitional effect). The only trick we have is to bypass the SMM code by turning of the generation of the SMI#. The trick can only be enabled by setting the vendorsupport module parameter to 911. This trick doesn't work well on laptop's. Note: this is a dirty hack. Please handle with care. The only real fix is that the bug in the SMM bios code get's fixed.

2009-02-14[WATCHDOG] iTCO_wdt: fix SMI_EN regression 2Wim Van Sebroeck
bugzilla: #12363 commit 7cd5b08be3c489df11b559fef210b81133764ad4 added a second regression: some Dell's and Compaq's lockup on boot. So we revert most of the code. The ICH9 reboot issue remains in place and will need some more fixing... :-( Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>
2008-11-21[WATCHDOG] iTCO_wdt : problem with rebooting on new ICH9 based motherboardsWim Van Sebroeck
Bugzilla #9868: On Intel motherboards with the ICH9 based I/O controllers (Like DP35DP and DG33FB) the iTCO timer counts but it doesn't reboot the system after the counter expires. This patch fixes this by moving the enabling & disabling of the TCO_EN bit in the SMI_EN register into the start and stop code. Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be>

2007-10-19Convert files to UTF-8 and some cleanupsJan Engelhardt
* Convert files to UTF-8. * Also correct some people's names (one example is Eißfeldt, which was found in a source file. Given that the author used an ß at all in a source file indicates that the real name has in fact a 'ß' and not an 'ss', which is commonly used as a substitute for 'ß' when limited to 7bit.) * Correct town names (Goettingen -> Göttingen) * Update Eberhard Mönkeberg's address (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/8/313) Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org>
