In some cases kipmid can use a lot of CPU. This adds a way to tune the
CPU used by kipmid to help in those cases. By setting kipmid_max_busy_us
to a value between 100 and 500, it is possible to bring down kipmid CPU
load to practically 0 without loosing too much ipmi throughput
performance. Not setting the value, or setting the value to zero,
operation is unaffected.Signed-off-by: Martin Wilck

Convert over to the new NMI handling for getting IPMI watchdog timeouts via an
NMI. This add config options to know if there is the ability to receive NMIs
and if it has an NMI post processing call. Then it modifies the IPMI watchdog
to take advantage of this so that it can know if an NMI comes in.It also adds testing that the IPMI NMI watchdog works.

This modifies the IPMI driver so that a lower-level interface can be
dynamically removed while in use so it can support hot-removal of hardware.It also adds the ability to specify and dynamically change the IPMI interface
the watchdog timer and the poweroff code use.Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

After the previous patch to disable the kernel IPMI daemon if interrupts
were available, the issue of broken hardware was raised, and a reasonable
request to add an override was mode. So here it is.Allow the user to force the kernel ipmi daemon on or off. This way,
hardware with broken interrupts or users that are not concerned with
performance can turn it on or off to their liking.[akpm@osdl.org: save 4 bytes in vmlinux]

This patch adds the ability to register for a command per-channel in the
IPMI driver.If your BMC supports multiple channels, incoming messages can be useful to
have the ability to register to receive commands on a specific channel
instead the current behaviour of all channels.Signed-off-by: David Barksdale

The IPMI power control function proc_write_chassctrl was badly written, it
directly used userspace pointers, it assumed that strings were NULL
terminated, and it used the evil sscanf function. This converts over to
using the sysctl interface for this data and changes the semantics to be a
little more logical.Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

This patch to adds "power cycle" functionality to the IPMI power off module
ipmi_poweroff. It also contains changes to support procfs control of the
feature.The power cycle action is considered an optional chassis control in the IPMI
specification. However, it is definitely useful when the hardware supports
it. A power cycle is usually required in order to reset a firmware in a bad
state. This action is critical to allow remote management of servers.The implementation adds power cycle as optional to the ipmi_poweroff module.
It can be modified dynamically through the proc entry mentioned above. During
a power down and enabled, the power cycle command is sent to the BMC firmware.
If it fails either due to non-support or some error, it will retry to send
the command as power off.Signed-off-by: Christopher A. Poblete

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
