* | sysfs: add /sys/firmware/memmapBernhard Walle2008-07-083-0/+216
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds /sys/firmware/memmap interface that represents the BIOS (or Firmware) provided memory map. 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.

* 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.

* 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>

* x86: fix DMI out of memory problemsParag Warudkar2008-01-301-3/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | People with HP Desktops (including me) encounter couple of DMI errors during boot - dmi_save_oem_strings_devices: out of memory and dmi_string: out of memory. On some HP desktops the DMI data include OEM strings (type 11) out of which only few are meaningful and most other are empty. DMI code religiously creates copies of these 27 strings (65 bytes each in my case) and goes OOM in dmi_string(). If DMI_MAX_DATA is bumped up a little then it goes and fails in dmi_save_oem_strings while allocating dmi_devices of sizeof(struct dmi_device) corresponding to these strings. On x86_64 since we cannot use alloc_bootmem this early, the code uses a static array of 2048 bytes (DMI_MAX_DATA) for allocating the memory DMI needs. It does not survive the creation of empty strings and devices. Fix this by detecting and not newly allocating empty strings and instead using a one statically defined dmi_empty_string. Also do not create a new struct dmi_device for each empty string - use one statically define dmi_device with .name=dmi_empty_string and add that to the dmi_devices list. On x64 this should stop the OOM with same current size of DMI_MAX_DATA and on x86 this should save a good amount of (27*65 bytes + 27*sizeof(struct dmi_device) bootmem. Compile and boot tested on both 32-bit and 64-bit x86.

Also remove includes of input.h from non-input sources only for BIT macro definiton. Define the macro temporarily in local manner, all those local definitons will be removed further in this patchset (to not break bisecting).

* Driver core: change add_uevent_var to use a structKay Sievers2007-10-121-7/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations. Many thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for finding bugs and improving the error handling.

* drivers/firmware: const-ify DMI API and internalsJeff Garzik2007-10-101-26/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three main sets of changes: 1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const, since callers should not be changing that data. 2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should, whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to that data area. 3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible in low-level drivers. And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional optimizations on the part of the compiler. The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated. #1 could have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others, it was easier to roll it into this changeset.

* serial: convert early_uart to earlycon for 8250Yinghai Lu2007-07-161-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and include/asm-x86_64/serial.h. the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in serial initializing stage. the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=> register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time. need to wait till uart_add_one_port in drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0. that is too late. Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier. Make it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature. and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically. new command line will be: console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8 console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8 or earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8 earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8 it will print in very early stage: Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8') console [uart0] enabled later for console it will print: console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0] Signed-off-by: <yinghai.lu@sun.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Cc: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
