Redhat Bugzilla: Bug 727875 - TCO_EN bit is disabled by TCO driver
Jiri Slaby: 28d41f53f broke temperature sensors on a ICH10 chipset
The iTCO_wdt driver disables the SMI. This breaks good working of newer hardware.
The disabling of the SMI by the TCO logic dates back from the i810-tco driver
from Nils Faerber (around 28 July 2000). The reason for this was that some BIOSes
install handlers reset or disable the watchdog timer instead of resetting the system.
The trick to fix this was to disable the SMI (by clearing the SMI_TCO_EN bit of the
SMI_EN register) to prevent this from happening.
This however has strange effects on newer hardware. So we are in a situation that
a fix for broken old hardware affects newer hardware.
The correct solution is to make this fix an option (with the new module parameter:
turn_SMI_watchdog_clear_off) so that the default behaviour is the unfixed version.
the next patch will be to move this in the start and stop functions of the driver
and to add a new module parameter for the global_smi_en bit and to get rid of the
vendor_support code.
This fix can have an effect on old (typical ICH & ICH2 chipsets) motherboards that
have a broken BIOS implementation concerning TCO logic. In these case the module
parameter turn_SMI_watchdog_clear_off=1 will need to be added.

While checking what watchdog drivers usually do in suspend/resume to
spot common behaviour for the watchdog framework, I found these drivers
which do nothing but add some cruft. Remove it, it is superfluous. New
approaches should probably be done with pm_ops anyway.

The iTCO_wdt driver erroneously releases the pci_dev, and causes PCI hotremove
to fail because of an incorrect usage count.
The probe for this driver does a for_each_pci_dev() which gets a reference for
a pci_dev when iTCO_wdt_init() is successful. The for_each_pci_dev() loop
puts a reference for a pci_dev when iTCO_wdt_init() fails, so the
iTCO_wdt_init() does not need to do any pci_dev_put()'s.
The only pci_dev_put() that is required is in the iTCO_wdt_cleanup() function.

The current iTCO_wdt driver warnings are confusing. Currently when the device
driver returns an error the console contains:
iTCO_vendor_support: vendor-support=0
iTCO_wdt: Intel TCO WatchDog Timer Driver v1.05
iTCO_wdt: failed to reset NO_REBOOT flag, reboot disabled by hardware
iTCO_wdt: No card detected
After the patch,
iTCO_vendor_support: vendor-support=0
iTCO_wdt: Intel TCO WatchDog Timer Driver v1.05
iTCO_wdt: failed to reset NO_REBOOT flag, device disabled by hardware/BIOS
Clean this up and use the word "device" to describe the device.

For TCO V1 devices the programmed timeout was twice too long
because the fact that the TCO V1 timer needs to count down
twice before triggering the watchdog, wasn't accounted for.
Also the timeout values in the module description and error
message were clarified. And the _STS registers are 16 bit
instead of 8 bit.

It's possible that the platform is not allowing reboot via TCO timer
expiration.
Also, differentiate between not finding a chipset that has TCO, and the case
where TCO is present but the driver fails to initialize for some reason.

According to 9.1.33 on p.343 of ICH8.pdf RCBA can be disabled by
hardware if bit 0 of RCBA register is not set.
Perform correct check for this to prevent memory corruption under
some virtual machines where this feature is disabled.

The code used '&= 0x00002000' when it tried to set the TCO_EN bit, which
obviously didn't set that bit at all, but instead just reset all the
other bits in the SMI_EN register.
This bug seemingly caused various random behavior, with Frans Pop
reporting that X.org just silently hung at startup and Rafael Wysocki
reports the fan spinning with full speed.
See

The problem seems to have been triggered by "[WATCHDOG] iTCO_wdt :
problem with rebooting on new ICH9 based motherboards" (commit
7cd5b08be3), but the bogus code existed
before that too (in the "supermicro_old_pre_stop()" function), it just
apparently never showed up due to different logic.
In that commit the broken code got moved around and now gets executed
much more.

The iTCO_wdt code was not clearing the correct bits.
It now clears the timeout status bit and then the
SECOND_TO_STS bit and then the BOOT_STS bit.
Note: we should first clear the SECOND_TO_STS bit
before clearing the BOOT_STS bit.

Bugzilla #9868: On Intel motherboards with the ICH9 based I/O controllers
(Like DP35DP and DG33FB) the iTCO timer counts but it doesn't reboot the
system after the counter expires.
This patch fixes this by moving the enabling & disabling of the TCO_EN bit
in the SMI_EN register into the start and stop code.

This brings the watchdog drivers into line with coding style.
This patch takes cares of the indentation as described in chapter 1.
Main changes:
* Re-structure the ioctl switch call for all drivers as follows:
switch (cmd) {
case WDIOC_GETSUPPORT:
case WDIOC_GETSTATUS:
case WDIOC_GETBOOTSTATUS:
case WDIOC_GETTEMP:
case WDIOC_SETOPTIONS:
case WDIOC_KEEPALIVE:
case WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT:
case WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT:
case WDIOC_GETTIMELEFT:
default:
}
This to make the migration from the drivers to the uniform watchdog
device driver easier in the future.
