Corey Minyard bda4c30aa6 ipmi: run to completion fixes
The "run_to_completion" mode was somewhat broken.  Locks need to be avoided in
run_to_completion mode, and it shouldn't be used by normal users, just
internally for panic situations.

This patch removes locks in run_to_completion mode and removes the user call
for setting the mode.  The only user was the poweroff code, but it was easily
converted to use the polling interface.

Corey Minyard fcfa472411 IPMI: add polled interface
Currently the IPMI watchdog timer sets the watchdog timeout on a panic, but it
doesn't actually poll the interface to make sure the message goes out.

Add an interface for polling the IPMI driver, and add code to the IPMI
watchdog timer to poll the interface when the timer is set from a panic.

Corey Minyard f8fbcd3b9d IPMI: remove bogus semaphore from watchdog
Lockdep was giving an error when loading the IPMI watchdog module.  It turns
out that if you try to claim a lock in a parameter handling routine, lockdep
won't see that lock as "static" yet because the module is not yet on the
module list, so it will complain.

However, the semaphore in question is completely unnecessary.  So just remove
it.

Corey Minyard c45adc3915 IPMI: don't init irq until ready
Patrick found a race at startup.  Interrupts were being enabled for the IPMI
interface before the driver was really ready to handle them.  This could
result in an oops if something was pending on the interface at startup and
interrupt were already enabled (technically shouldn't happen, but need to
cover for this in real life).  So move the IRQ setup to the code that starts
the actual IPMI processing.

Jeff Garzik 1855256c49 drivers/firmware: const-ify DMI API and internals
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.

Jesper Juhl 80cd69203c ipmi: Fix mem leak in try_init_dmi()
This is only called at init time and only happens if the BIOS screws
something up, so the leak is slight and it is probably not worth sending to
2.6.22.x.  The driver would not initialize the interface in the case, and I
have no reports of this happening.  I have booted and run tests on a system
with this patch.  Note that the original patch was munged by the mailer,
here's a new one.

If we ever hit the "default:" case in the switch in try_init_dmi(),
then we'll leak the storage allocated with kzalloc() and assigned
to 'info'.

Tejun Heo 7b595756ec sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner
sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

Linus Torvalds faa8b6c3c2 Revert "ipmi: add new IPMI nmi watchdog handling"
This reverts commit f64da958df.

Andi Kleen is unhappy with the changes, and they really do not seem
worth it.  IPMI could use DIE_NMI_IPI instead of the new callback, even
though that ends up having its own set of problems too, mainly because
the IPMI code cannot really know the NMI was from IPMI or not.

Manually fix up conflicts in arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c and

This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code.  Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it.  Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)

arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at.  avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

Corey Minyard ee6cd5f8f5 ipmi: allow shared interrupts
The IPMI driver used enable_irq and disable_irq when it got into situations
where it couldn't allocate memory; it did this to avoid having the interrupt
just lock the machine when it couldn't get memory to perform the transaction
to disable the interrupt.

This patch modifies the driver to not use disable_irq and enable_irq.  It
instead sends the messages to the BMC to perform this operation.  It also
makes sure interrupts are cleanly disabled when the interface is shut down and
cleans up some shutdown things that are no longer necessary.

Eric W. Biederman 0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

Tim Schmielau cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

Corey Minyard 78ba2faf71 [PATCH] IPMI: Fix some RCU problems
Fix some RCU problem pointed out by Paul McKenney of IBM.  These are:

The wholesale move of the command receivers list into a new list was not
safe because the list will point to the new tail during a traversal, so the
traversal will never end on a reader if this happens during a read.

Memory barriers were needed to handle proper ordering of the setting of the
IPMI interface as valid.  Readers might not see proper ordering of data
otherwise.

In ipmi_smi_watcher_register(), the use of the _rcu suffix on the list is
unnecessary.

This require the list_splice_init_rcu() patch previously posted.

fine when the driver is compiled as a module but it sure is not when built

Corey Minyard 1d5636cc07 [PATCH] IPMI: misc fixes
Fix various problems pointed out by Andrew Morton and others:
  * platform_device_unregister checks for NULL, no need to check here.
  * Formatting fixes.
  * Remove big macro and convert to a function.
  * Use strcmp instead of defining a broken case-insensitive comparison,
    and make the output parameter info match the case of the input one
    (change "I/O" to "i/o").
  * Return the length instead of 0 from the hotmod parameter handler.
  * Remove some unused cruft.
  * The trydefaults parameter only has to do with scanning the "standard"
    addresses, don't check for that on ACPI.
