BMC support for PARISC machines

2013-09-05T15:34:32Z

The last line of PARISC machines (C8000, RP34x0, etc.) have a BMC for controlling temperature, fan speed and other stuff. The BMC is connected via a special bus and listed in the firmware device tree. This change adds support for these BMCs to the IPMI driver.

Add MODULE_ALIAS for autoloading ipmi driver on ACPI systems

2013-09-05T15:34:32Z

I'd submitted this about a year ago but it never made it upstream. The latest versions of the kernel drivers for ipmi can use ACPI to determine the type of BMC device used in the system. The following patch adds a module alias so that udev will autoload the ipmi_si driver. Signed-off-by: Jordan Hargrave Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ipmi: Initialize locals to avoid warning

2013-09-05T15:34:31Z

A couple of variables were getting warnings about being uninitialized. It was a false warning, but initialize them, anyway. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ipmi: info leak in compat_ipmi_ioctl()

2013-09-05T15:34:31Z

On x86_64 there is a 4 byte hole between ->recv_type and ->addr. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

char: Convert use of typedef ctl_table to struct ctl_table

2013-06-17T23:43:08Z

This typedef is unnecessary and should just be removed. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ipmi: ipmi_devintf: compat_ioctl method fails to take ipmi_mutex

2013-05-16T20:49:25Z

When a 32 bit version of ipmitool is used on a 64 bit kernel, the ipmi_devintf code fails to correctly acquire ipmi_mutex. This results in incomplete data being retrieved in some cases, or other possible failures. Add a wrapper around compat_ipmi_ioctl() to take ipmi_mutex to fix this.

ipmi: Improve error messages on failed irq enable

2013-05-16T20:49:25Z

When the interrupt enable message returns an error, the messages are not entirely accurate nor helpful. So improve them. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard Cc: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

drivers/char/ipmi: memcpy, need additional 2 bytes to avoid memory overflow

2013-05-16T20:49:25Z

When calling memcpy, read_data and write_data need additional 2 bytes. write_data: for checking: "if (size > IPMI_MAX_MSG_LENGTH)" for operating: "memcpy(bt->write_data + 3, data + 1, size - 1)" read_data: for checking: "if (msg_len < 3 || msg_len > IPMI_MAX_MSG_LENGTH)" for operating: "memcpy(data + 2, bt->read_data + 4, msg_len - 2)" Signed-off-by: Chen Gang Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

drivers: char: ipmi: Replaced kmalloc and strcpy with kstrdup

2013-05-16T20:49:25Z

Replaced calls to kmalloc followed by strcpy with a sincle call to kstrdup. Patch found using coccinelle. Signed-off-by: Alexandru Gheorghiu Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

proc: Supply a function to remove a proc entry by PDE

2013-05-01T21:29:46Z

Supply a function (proc_remove()) to remove a proc entry (and any subtree rooted there) by proc_dir_entry pointer rather than by name and (optionally) root dir entry pointer. This allows us to eliminate all remaining pde->name accesses outside of procfs.
