x86, dmi, debug: Log board name (when present) in dmesg/oops output

2011-02-15T03:20:57Z

The "Type 2" SMBIOS record that contains Board Name is not strictly required and may be absent in the SMBIOS on some platforms. ( Please note that Type 2 is not listed in Table 3 in Sec 6.2 ("Required Structures and Data") of the SMBIOS v2.7 Specification. ) Use the Manufacturer Name (aka System Vendor) name. Print Board Name only when it is present. Before the fix: (i) dmesg output: DMI: /ProLiant DL380 G6, BIOS P62 01/29/2011 (ii) oops output: Pid: 2170, comm: bash Not tainted 2.6.38-rc4+ #3 /ProLiant DL380 G6 After the fix: (i) dmesg output: DMI: HP ProLiant DL380 G6, BIOS P62 01/29/2011 (ii) oops output: Pid: 2278, comm: bash Not tainted 2.6.38-rc4+ #4 HP ProLiant DL380 G6 Signed-off-by: Naga Chumbalkar Reviewed-by: Bjorn Helgaas Cc: # .3x - good for debugging, please apply as far back as it applies cleanly LKML-Reference: <20110214224423.2182.13929.sendpatchset@nchumbalkar.americas.hpqcorp.net> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT

2011-01-21T01:02:05Z

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

dmi: log board, system, and BIOS information

2010-10-28T01:03:05Z

Put basic system information in the dmesg log. There are lots of dmesg logs on the web, and it would be useful if they contained this information for debugging platform problems. "BOARD/PRODUCT" format copied from show_regs_common(), which is used in the oops path. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: "H.

We failed to check to see if actually allocated structures to contain the iBFT structure and went ahead to dereference it. This patch fixes the OOPS. Reported-by: "Jayamohan Kalickal" Tested-by: "Jayamohan Kalickal" Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Signed-off-by: Peter Jones
