6b7f3d5321 watchdog: hpwdt (5/12): Make x86 assembly ifdef guard more strict
The 32-bit assembly is guarded by an #ifndef CONFIG_X86_64. Kconfig prevents
us from building this driver on !X86, so that happens to suffice - but we
should really lock it down to #ifdef CONFIG_X86_32.

36e3ff44ce watchdog: hpwdt (4/12): Despecificate driver from iLO2
This driver supports both iLO2 and iLO3, but our user-visible strings
currently only reference iLO2. Let's just call it "iLO2+" to avoid having
to update strings for each iLO generation. This driver doesn't support
iLO ASICs prior to iLO2, but that is sufficiently explained in Kconfig.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

290172e790 [WATCHDOG] hpwdt: Fix kdump when using hpwdt
When the "hpwdt" module is loaded (even if the /dev/watchdog device is not
opened), then kdump does not work. The panic kernel either does not start at
all or crash in various places.

The problem is that hpwdt_pretimeout is registered with register_die_notifier()
with the highest possible priority. Because it returns NOTIFY_STOP, the
crash_nmi_callback which is also registered with register_die_notifier()
is never executed. This causes the shutdown of other CPUs to fail.

Reverting the order is no option: The crash_nmi_callback executes HLT
and so never returns normally. Because of that, it must be executed as
last notifier, which currently is done.

So, that patch returns NOTIFY_OK to keep the crash_nmi_callback executed.

1f6ef23429 [watchdog] hpwdt: fix use of inline assembly
The inline assembly in drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c was incredibly broken,
and included all the function prologue and epilogue stuff, even though
it was itself then inside a C function where the compiler would add its
own prologue and epilogue on top of it all.

This then just _happened_ to work if you had exactly the right compiler
version and exactly the right compiler flags, so that gcc just happened
to not create any prologue at all (the gcc-generated epilogue wouldn't
matter, since it would never be reached).

But the more proper way to fix it is to simply not do this.  Move the
inline asm to the top level, with no surrounding function at all (the
better alternative would be to remove the prologue and make it actually
use proper description of the arguments to the inline asm, but that's a
bigger change than the one I'm willing to make right now).

This patch makes the needlessly global asminline_call() static and 
removes the not required "asmlinkage".

30ec910e02 [WATCHDOG] hpwdt: Use dmi_walk() instead of own copy
We can simplify the code by deleting all of the duplicated DMI table
walking code and using the kernel's existing dmi_walk() interface to
find the DMI entry the driver is looking for.

ef82710a3f [WATCHDOG] Fix return value warning in hpwdt
The return value of smbios_scan_machine() is never used, and when it
succeeds it doesn't return anything, so just make it void.  This fixes:

    drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c: In function 'smbios_scan_machine':
    drivers/watchdog/hpwdt.c:562: warning: control reaches end of non-void function

103018aca2 [WATCHDOG] Fix declaration of struct smbios_entry_point in hpwdt
On my HP DL380 G5 system running a 64-bit kernel, loading the hpwdt
driver causes a crash because the driver attempts to ioremap an
invalid physical address.  This is because the driver has an incorrect
definition of the SMBIOS table entry point structure: the table
address is only a 32-bit quantity, and making it a u64 means that the
high-order 32 bits end up containing garbage.

Correcting the structure definition fixes the driver so that it loads
without any problems on my system.

7f4da4745c [WATCHDOG] HP ProLiant WatchDog driver
Hp is providing a Hardware WatchDog Timer driver that will only work with the
specific HW Timer located in the HP ProLiant iLO 2 ASIC. The iLO 2 HW Timer
will generate a Non-maskable Interrupt (NMI) 9 seconds before physically
resetting the server, by removing power, so that the event can be logged to
the HP Integrated Management Log (IML), a Non-Volatile Random Access Memory
(NVRAM). The logging of the event is performed using the HP ProLiant ROM via
an Industry Standard access known as a BIOS Service Directory Entry.
