2011-11-15drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c: make dmi_name_in_vendors more focusedJean Delvare
The current implementation of dmi_name_in_vendors() is an invitation to lazy coding and false positives [1]. Searching for a string in 8 know what you're looking for, so you should know where to look. strstr isn't fast, especially when it fails, so we should avoid calling it when it just can't succeed. Looking at the current users of the function, it seems clear to me that they are looking for a system or board vendor name, so let's limit dmi_name_in_vendors to these two DMI fields. This much better matches the function name, BTW. [1] We currently have code looking for short names in DMI data, such as "IBM", "ASUS" or "Acer". I let you guess what will happen the day other vendors ship products named, for example, "SCHREIBMEISTER", "PEGASUS" or "Acerola".

2011-10-12pstore: make pstore write function return normal success/fail valueChen Gong

2011-08-16pstore: change mutex locking to spin_locksDon Zickus
pstore was using mutex locking to protect read/write access to the backend plug-ins. This causes problems when pstore is executed in an NMI context through panic() -> kmsg_dump(). This patch changes the mutex to a spin_lock_irqsave then also checks to see if we are in an NMI context. If we are in an NMI and can't get the lock, just print a message stating that and blow by the locking. All this is probably a hack around the bigger locking problem but it solves my current situation of trying to sleep in an NMI context. Tested by loading the lkdtm module and executing a HARDLOCKUP which will cause the machine to panic inside the nmi handler.

2011-06-29[SCSI] iscsi_ibft, be2iscsi, iscsi_boot: fix boot kobj data lifetime managementMike Christie
be2iscsi passes the boot functions its phba object which is allocated in the shost, but iscsi_ibft passes in a object allocated for each item to display. The problem is that iscsi_boot_sysfs was managing the lifetime of the object passed in and doing a kfree on release. This causes a double free for be2iscsi which frees the shost in its pci_remove. This patch fixes the problem by adding a release callback which the drivers can call kfree or a put() type of function (needed for be2iscsi which will do a get/put on the shost).

2011-04-29driver: Google Memory ConsoleMike Waychison
This patch introduces the 'memconsole' driver. Our firmware gives us access to an in-memory log of the firmware's output. This gives us visibility in a data-center of headless machines as to what the firmware is doing. The memory console is found by the driver by finding a header block in the EBDA. The buffer is then copied out, and is exported to userland in the file /sys/firmware/log.

2011-04-29driver: Google EFI SMIMike Waychison
The "gsmi" driver bridges userland with firmware specific routines for accessing hardware. Currently, this driver only supports NVRAM and eventlog information. Deprecated functions have been removed from the driver, though their op-codes are left in place so that they are not re-used. This driver works by trampolining into the firmware via the smi_command outlined in the FADT table. Three protocols are used due to various limitations over time, but all are included herein. This driver should only ever load on Google boards, identified by either a "Google, Inc." board vendor string in DMI, or "GOOGLE" in the OEM strings of the FADT ACPI table. This logic happens in gsmi_system_valid().

Check for nonzero path in edd_has_edd30() has no sense. First, it looks at the wrong memory. Device path starts at offset 30 of the info->params structure which is at offset 8 from the beginning of info structure, but code looks at info + 4 instead. This was correct when code was introduced, but around v2.6.4 three more fields were added to edd_info structure (commit 66b61a5c in history.git). Second, even if it will check correct memory it will always succeed since at offset 30 (params->key) there will be non-zero values otherwise previous check would fail. The patch replaces this bogus check with one that verifies checksum. Signed-off-by: Gleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110426082132.GG2265@redhat.com Signed-off-by: H.

2011-04-26treewide: cleanup continuations and remove logging message whitespaceJoe Perches
Using C line continuation inside format strings is error prone. Clean up the unintended whitespace introduced by misuse of \. Neaten correctly used line continations as well for consistency. drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c has these errors as well, but arcmsr needs a lot more work and the driver should likely be moved to staging instead.

2011-04-14iscsi_ibft: search for broadcom specific ibft sign (v2)Mike Christie
Broadcom iscsi offload firmware uses a non standard ibft sign of "BIFT". When we added support for boot, the anaconda team and I were using older firmware (I guess 4 years old), so boot does not work on current cards. This patch modifies the ibft search code to search for "BIFT" along with the other possible values. Broadcom has tested the patch and reported it works with their firmware. Mike has tested Chelsio and Intel cards. [v2: - Add ACPI_SIG_IBFT to ibft_signs - replace break with goto in find_ibft_in_mem innner loop.] Signed-off-by: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> Signed-off-by: Peter Jones <pjones@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad@kernel.org>

2011-03-14efivars: parameterize efivarsMike Waychison
Now that we all global variable state is encapsulated by struct efivars, parameterize all functions to the efivars local to the control flow rather than at file scope. We do this by removing the variable "efivars" at file scope and move its storage down to the end of the file. Variables get at efivars by storing the efivars pointer within each efivar_entry. The "new_var" and "del_var" binary attribute files get at the efivars through the private pointer.

2011-03-02dcdbas: force SMI to happen when expectedStuart Hayes
The dcdbas driver can do an I/O write to cause a SMI to occur. The SMI handler looks at certain registers and memory locations, so the SMI needs to happen immediately. On some systems I/O writes are posted, though, causing the SMI to happen well after the "outb" occurred, which causes random failures. Following the "outb" with an "inb" forces the write to go through even if it is posted.

2011-02-25firmware: Fix unaligned memory accesses in dmi-sysfsMike Waychison
DMI entries are arranged in memory back to back with no alignment guarantees. This means that the struct dmi_header passed to callbacks from dmi_walk() itself isn't byte aligned. This causes problems on architectures that expect aligned data, such as IA64. The dmi-sysfs patchset introduced structure member accesses through this passed in dmi_header. Fix this by memcpy()ing the structures to temporary locations on stack when inspecting/copying them.

2011-02-25firmware: Expose DMI type 15 System Event LogMike Waychison
The System Event Log described by DMI entry type 15 may be backed by either memory or may be indirectly accessed via an IO index/data register pair. In order to get read access to this log, expose it in the "system_event_log" sub-directory of type 15 DMI entries, ie: /sys/firmware/dmi/entries/15-0/system_event_log/raw_event_log. This commit handles both IO accessed and memory access system event logs. OEM specific access and GPNV support is explicitly not handled and we error out in the logs when we do not recognize the access method.
