2005-06-24[PATCH] tpm: improve output in sysfs files when the TPM failsKylene Jo Hall
Since after reconsideration this is more debug output than an error (the TPM is operating correctly given the current state) I have changed the statements to dbg rather than err.

2005-06-24[PATCH] char/tpm: use msleep(), clean-up timers,Nishanth Aravamudan
The TPM driver unnecessarily uses timers when it simply needs to maintain a maximum delay via time_before(). msleep() is used instead of schedule_timeout() to guarantee the task delays as expected. While compile-testing, I found a typo in the driver, using tpm_chp instead of tpm_chip. Remove the now unused timer callback function and change TPM_TIMEOUT's units to milliseconds. Patch is compile-tested.

2005-06-24[PATCH] ipmi: add power cycle capabilityCorey 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.

2005-06-23[PATCH] ppc64: add a watchdog driver for rtasUtz Bacher
Add a watchdog using the RTAS OS surveillance service. This is provided as a simpler alternative to rtasd. The added value is that it works with standard watchdog client programs and can therefore also do user space monitoring. On BPA, rtasd is not really useful because the hardware does not have much to report with event-scan. The driver should also work on other platforms that support the OS surveillance rtas calls.

2005-06-20[PATCH] ARM: 2701/1: free up ixp2000 timer 4 for the watchdogLennert Buytenhek
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek The IXP2000 has four timers, but if we're on an A-step IXP2800, timer 2 and 3 don't work. We need two timers for timekeeping (one for the timer interrupt and one for tracking missed jiffies), so on early IXP2800s we have no other choice but to use timer 1 and 4 for that, but on all other IXP2000s we'd rather leave timer 4 free since that's the only timer we can use for the watchdog. So, on buggy IXP2000s (i.e. the A-step IXP2800) we use timer 4 for tracking missed jiffies, and on all all non-buggy IXP2000s (i.e. everything but the A-step IXP2800) we use timer 2. On a pre-production IXP2800, this patch should print these messages on boot: Enabling IXP2800 erratum #25 workaround Unable to use IXP2000 watchdog due to IXP2800 erratum #25 On any non-buggy IXP2800 (as well as on IXP2400s) you shouldn't see anything at all, and the watchdog should be usable again.
