* DMI: Introduce dmi_first_match to make the interface more flexibleRafael J. Wysocki2009-01-271-19/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some notebooks from HP have the problem that their BIOSes attempt to spin down hard drives before entering ACPI system states S4 and S5. This leads to a yo-yo effect during system power-off shutdown and the last phase of hibernation when the disk is first spun down by the kernel and then almost immediately turned on and off by the BIOS. This, in turn, may result in shortening the disk's life times. To prevent this from happening we can blacklist the affected systems using DMI information. However, only the on-board controlles should be blacklisted and their PCI slot numbers can be used for this purpose. Unfortunately the existing interface for checking DMI information of the system is not very convenient for this purpose, because to use it, we would have to define special callback functions or create a separate struct dmi_system_id table for each blacklisted system. To overcome this difficulty introduce a new function dmi_first_match() returning a pointer to the first entry in an array of struct dmi_system_id elements that matches the system DMI information. Then, we can use this pointer to access the entry's .driver_data field containing the additional information, such as the PCI slot number, allowing us to do the desired blacklisting.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: Should permit VMware detection on older platforms where the vendor is changed. Could theoretically cause a regression if some weird serial number scheme contains the string "VMware" by pure chance. Seems unlikely, especially with the mixed case. In some user configured cases, VMware may choose not to put a VMware specific DMI string, but the product serial key is always there and is VMware specific.

* x86: sysfs: kill owner field from attributeParag Warudkar2008-10-201-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tejun's commit 7b595756ec1f49e0049a9e01a1298d53a7faaa15 made sysfs attribute->owner unnecessary. But the field was left in the structure to ease the merge. It's been over a year since that change and it is now time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at a time! This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 . We will deal with other arches later on as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I can test. Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config) and boot tested. akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside `#ifndef CONFIG_X86'. But that proved to be too ambitious for now because new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.

* ibft: fix target info parsing in ibft moduleMike Christie2008-09-031-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I got this patch through Red Hat's bugzilla from the bug submitter and patch creator. I have just fixed it up so it applies without fuzz to upstream kernels. Original patch and description from Shyam kumar Iyer: The issue [ibft module not displaying targets with short names] is because of an offset calculatation error in the iscsi_ibft.c code. Due to this error directory structure for the target in /sys/firmware/ibft does not get created and so the initiator is unable to connect to the target. Note that this bug surfaced only with an name that had a short section at the end. eg: "iqn.1984-05.com.dell:dell". It did not surface when the iqn's had a longer section at the end. eg: "iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk2.sys1.xyz" So, the eot_offset was calculated such that an extra 48 bytes i.e. the size of the ibft_header which has already been accounted was subtracted twice. This was not evident with longer iqn names because they would overshoot the total ibft length more than 48 bytes and thus would escape the bug.

* cpumask: Replace cpumask_of_cpu with cpumask_of_cpu_ptrMike Travis2008-07-181-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * This patch replaces the dangerous lvalue version of cpumask_of_cpu with new cpumask_of_cpu_ptr macros. These are patterned after the node_to_cpumask_ptr macros. In general terms, if there is a cpumask_of_cpu_map[] then a pointer to the cpumask_of_cpu_map[cpu] entry is used. The cpumask_of_cpu_map is provided when there is a large NR_CPUS count, reducing greatly the amount of code generated and stack space used for cpumask_of_cpu(). The pointer to the cpumask_t value is needed for calling set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to reduce the amount of stack space needed to pass the cpumask_t value. If there isn't a cpumask_of_cpu_map[], then a temporary variable is declared and filled in with value from cpumask_of_cpu(cpu) as well as a pointer variable pointing to this temporary variable. Afterwards, the pointer is used to reference the cpumask value. The compiler will optimize out the extra dereference through the pointer as well as the stack space used for the pointer, resulting in identical code. A good example of the orthogonal usages is in net/sunrpc/svc.c: case SVC_POOL_PERCPU: { unsigned int cpu = m->pool_to[pidx]; cpumask_of_cpu_ptr(cpumask, cpu); *oldmask = current->cpus_allowed; set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, cpumask); return 1; } case SVC_POOL_PERNODE: { unsigned int node = m->pool_to[pidx]; node_to_cpumask_ptr(nodecpumask, node); *oldmask = current->cpus_allowed; set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, nodecpumask); return 1; } Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The tree looks like: /sys/firmware/memmap/0/start (hex number) end (hex number) type (string) ... /1/start end type With the following shell snippet one can print the memory map in the same form the kernel prints itself when booting on x86 (the E820 map). --------- 8< -------------------------- #!/bin/sh cd /sys/firmware/memmap for dir in * ; do start=$(cat $dir/start) end=$(cat $dir/end) type=$(cat $dir/type) printf "%016x-%016x (%s)\n" $start $[ $end +1] "$type" done --------- >8 -------------------------- That patch only provides the needed interface: 1. The sysfs interface. 2. The structure and enumeration definition. 3. The function firmware_map_add() and firmware_map_add_early() that should be called from architecture code (E820/EFI, for example) to add the contents to the interface. If the kernel is compiled without CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP, the interface does nothing without cluttering the architecture-specific code with #ifdef's. The purpose of the new interface is kexec: While /proc/iomem represents the *used* memory map (e.g. modified via kernel parameters like 'memmap' and 'mem'), the /sys/firmware/memmap tree represents the unmodified memory map provided via the firmware. So kexec can: - use the original memory map for rebooting, - use the /proc/iomem for setting up the ELF core headers for kdump case that should only represent the memory of the system. The patch has been tested on i386 and x86_64.

What is iSCSI Boot Firmware Table? It is a mechanism for the iSCSI tools to extract from the machine NICs the iSCSI connection information so that they can automagically mount the iSCSI share/target. Currently the iSCSI information is hard-coded in the initrd. The /sysfs entries are read-only one-name-and-value fields. The usual set of data exposed is: # for a in `find /sys/firmware/ibft/ -type f -print`; do echo -n "$a: "; cat $a; done /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/target-name: iqn.2007.com.intel-sbx44:storage-10gb /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/nic-assoc: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/chap-type: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/lun: 00000000 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/port: 3260 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/ip-addr: 192.168.79.116 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/flags: 3 /sys/firmware/ibft/target0/index: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/mac: 00:11:25:9d:8b:01 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/vlan: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/gateway: 192.168.79.254 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/origin: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/subnet-mask: 255.255.252.0 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/ip-addr: 192.168.77.41 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/flags: 7 /sys/firmware/ibft/ethernet0/index: 0 /sys/firmware/ibft/initiator/initiator-name: iqn.2007-07.com:konrad.initiator /sys/firmware/ibft/initiator/flags: 3 /sys/firmware/ibft/initiator/index: 0 For full details of the IBFT structure please take a look at: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/systems/support/system_x_pdf/ibm_iscsi_boot_firmware_table_v1.02.pdf [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek <konradr@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> Cc: Peter Jones <pjones@redhat.com> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* ipmi: change device node ordering to reflect probe orderCarol Hebert2008-04-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 2.6.14 a patch was merged which switching the order of the ipmi device naming from in-order-of-discovery over to reverse-order-of-discovery. So on systems with multiple BMC interfaces, the ipmi device names are being created in reverse order relative to how they are discovered on the system (e.g. on an IBM x3950 multinode server with N nodes, the device name for the BMC in the first node is /dev/ipmiN-1 and the device name for the BMC in the last node is /dev/ipmi0, etc.). The problem is caused by the list handling routines chosen in dmi_scan.c. Using list_add() causes the multiple ipmi devices to be added to the device list using a stack-paradigm and so the ipmi driver subsequently pulls them off during initialization in LIFO order. This patch changes the dmi_save_ipmi_device() list handling paradigm to a queue, thereby allowing the ipmi driver to build the ipmi device names in the order in which they are found on the system.

* dmi: prevent linked list corruptionJean Delvare2008-02-241-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding the same item to a given linked list more than once is guaranteed to break and corrupt the list. This is however what we do in dmi_scan since commit 79da4721117fcf188b4b007b775738a530f574da ("x86: fix DMI out of memory problems"). Given that there is absolutely no interest in saving empty OEM strings anyway, I propose the simple and efficient fix below: we discard the empty OEM strings altogether.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we gather on-board devices from both DMI types 10 and 41, there is a possibility that we list the same device twice. In order to not confuse drivers, and also to save memory, make sure that we do not add duplicate devices to the dmi_devices list.

* SMBIOS/DMI: add type 41 = Onboard Devices Extended InformationWim Van Sebroeck2008-02-081-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From version 2.6 of the SMBIOS standard, type 10 (On Board Devices Information) becomes obsolete. The reason for this is that no further fields can be added to this structure without adversely affecting existing software's ability to properly parse the data. Therefore type 41 (Onboard Devices Extended Information) was added. The structure is as follows: struct smbios_type_41 { u8 type; u8 length; u16 handle; u8 reference_designation_string; u8 device_type; /* same device type as in type 10 */ u8 device_type_instance; u16 segment_group_number; u8 bus_number; u8 device_function_number; }; For more info: http://www.dmtf.org/standards/smbios Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be> Cc: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> Cc: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Cc: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
