Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
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!

8 | help | ||
9 | This enables the central IPMI message handler, required for IPMI | ||
10 | to work. | ||
11 | |||
12 | IPMI is a standard for managing sensors (temperature, | ||
13 | voltage, etc.) in a system. | ||
14 | |||
15 | See <file:Documentation/IPMI.txt> for more details on the driver. | ||
16 | |||

20 | bool 'Generate a panic event to all BMCs on a panic' | ||
21 | depends on IPMI_HANDLER | ||
22 | help | ||
23 | When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to | ||
24 | generate an IPMI event describing the panic to each interface | ||
25 | registered with the message handler. | ||
26 | |||
27 | config IPMI_PANIC_STRING | ||
28 | bool 'Generate OEM events containing the panic string' | ||
29 | depends on IPMI_PANIC_EVENT | ||
30 | help | ||
31 | When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to | ||
32 | generate IPMI OEM type f0 events holding the IPMB address of the | ||
33 | panic generator (byte 4 of the event), a sequence number for the | ||
34 | string (byte 5 of the event) and part of the string (the rest of the | ||
35 | event). Bytes 1, 2, and 3 are the normal usage for an OEM event. | ||
36 | You can fetch these events and use the sequence numbers to piece the | ||
37 | string together. | ||
38 | |||
39 | config IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE | ||
40 | tristate 'Device interface for IPMI' | ||
41 | depends on IPMI_HANDLER | ||
42 | help | ||
43 | This provides an IOCTL interface to the IPMI message handler so | ||
44 | userland processes may use IPMI. It supports poll() and select(). | ||
45 | |||
46 | config IPMI_SI | ||
47 | tristate 'IPMI System Interface handler' | ||
48 | depends on IPMI_HANDLER | ||
49 | help | ||
50 | Provides a driver for System Interfaces (KCS, SMIC, BT). | ||
51 | Currently, only KCS and SMIC are supported. If | ||
52 | you are using IPMI, you should probably say "y" here. | ||
53 | |||
54 | config IPMI_WATCHDOG | ||
55 | tristate 'IPMI Watchdog Timer' | ||
56 | depends on IPMI_HANDLER | ||
57 | help | ||
58 | This enables the IPMI watchdog timer. | ||

60 | config IPMI_POWEROFF | ||
61 | tristate 'IPMI Poweroff' | ||
62 | depends on IPMI_HANDLER | ||
63 | help | ||
64 | This enables a function to power off the system with IPMI if | ||
65 | the IPMI management controller is capable of this. | ||
