# 287303 30-Aug-2015 delphij

Remove support for FreeBSD < 602110.


# 281941 24-Apr-2015 jhb

Watchdog drivers need to support rearming the watchdog in contexts which
are not permitted to sleep. Only use the IPMI watchdog with backends
which poll driver-initiated requests to meet this requirement.

In practice this means that watchdogs will no longer be used on systems
that use the SSIF backend.

# 278321 06-Feb-2015 jhb

Use direct hardware access for internal requests for KCS and SMIC. In
particular, updates to the watchdog should no longer sleep.
- Add a new IPMI_IO_LOCK for low-level I/O access. Use this for
kcs_polled_request() and smic_polled_request().
- Add a new backend callback "ipmi_driver_request" to handle a driver
request. The new callback performs the request sychronously for KCS
and SMIC. SSIF still defers the work to the worker thread since the
worker thread sleeps during request processing anyway.
- Allocate driver requests on the stack rather than using malloc().

# 253812 30-Jul-2013 sbruno

empirical testing showed that 3 seconds is just too slow for GET_DEVICE_ID
to return on newer Dell hardware. Bump to 6 second timeouts until someone
has a better idea on how to handle this

After discussions, revert svn r253708.

Changelog for 253708 was completely wrong and the code implemented something
non-standard for the wrong reasons.

# 253708 27-Jul-2013 sbruno

At some point after stable/7 the ACPI and ISA interfaces to the IPMI controller
no longer have the parent in the device tree. This causes the identify
function in ipmi_isa.c to attempt to probe and poke at the ISA IPMI interface

Move the check for ipmi_attached out of the ipmi_isa_attach function and into
the ipmi_isa_identify function. Remove the check of the device tree for
ipmi devices attached.

This probing appears to make Broadcom management firmware on Dell machines
crash and emit NMI EISA warnings at various times requiring power cycles
of the machines to restore.

Bump MAX_TIMEOUT to 6 seconds as a hack for super slow IPMI interfaces that
need longer to respond to our intial probes on startup.

Tested on Dell R410, R510, R815, HP DL160G6

This is MFC candidate for 9.2R

# 239128 07-Aug-2012 jhb

Don't try to stop the IPMI watchdog timer if it is not running.
Starting or stopping the IPMI watchdog is rather expensive with the
current implementation as all IPMI requests are bounced via thread.
This is not viable during shutdown or dumps, and this avoids headache
in the common case that the watchdog is not enabled. The IPMI watchdog
should probably be reworked to not use a separate thread to fix this
in the case when the watchdog timer is enabled.

# 182322 28-Aug-2008 jhb

Remove hack attempt at using devfs cloning for per-file descriptor storage.
Use the much simpler cdevpriv for per-fd state and enable it. This allows
multiple opens of /dev/ipmi0 (e.g. using ipmitool while ipmievd is running
in the background).

# 162562 22-Sep-2006 jhb

Update the ipmi(4) driver:
- Split out the communication protocols into their own files and use
a couple of function pointers in the softc that the commuication
protocols setup in their own attach routine.
- Add support for the SSIF interface (talking to IPMI over SMBus).
- Add an ACPI attachment.
- Add a PCI attachment that attaches to devices with the IPMI interface
subclass.
- Split the ISA attachment out into its own file: ipmi_isa.c.
- Change the code to probe the SMBIOS table for an IPMI entry to just use
pmap_mapbios() to map the table in rather than trying to setup a fake
resource on an isa device and then activating the resource to map in the
table.
- Make bus attachments leaner by adding attach functions for each
communication interface (ipmi_kcs_attach(), ipmi_smic_attach(), etc.)
that setup per-interface data.
- Formalize the model used by the driver to handle requests by adding an
explicit struct ipmi_request object that holds the state of a given
request and reply for the entire lifetime of the request. By bundling
the request into an object, it is easier to add retry logic to the various
communication backends (as well as eventually support BT mode which uses
a slightly different message format than KCS, SMIC, and SSIF).
- Add a per-softc lock and remove D_NEEDGIANT as the driver is now MPSAFE.
- Add 32-bit compatibility ioctl shims so you can use a 32-bit ipmitool
on FreeBSD/amd64.
- Add ipmi(4) to i386 and amd64 NOTES.

# 155517 10-Feb-2006 ambrisko

Add an OpenIPMI mostly compatible driver. This driver was developed
to work with ipmitools. It works with other tools that have an OpenIPMI
driver interface. The port will need to get updated to used this.
I have not implemented the IPMB mode yet so ioctl's for that don't
really do much otherwise it should work like the OpenIPMI version.
The ipmi.h definitions was derived from the ipmitool header file.
The bus attachments are done for smbios and pci/smbios. Differences
in bus probe order for modules/static are delt with. ACPI attachment
should be done.

This drivers registers with the watchdod(4) interface

Work to do:
- BT interface
- IPMB mode

This has been tested on Dell PE2850, PE2650 & PE850 with i386 & amd64
kernel.

I will link this into the build on next week.
