ipmi0: KCS: Failed to read completion code

These seem to be innocuous from a system standpoint, and the user-
space code can deal with the failures. Therefore, suppress printing
these messages to the console unless bootverbose is enabled.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification

that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,

Otherwise an orderly shutdown will initiate a watchdog that will cause

o Add support for setting pretimeout (which fires an interrupt

o Allow refinement of the actions to take when the watchdog expires
o Allow special startup timeout to keep us from hanging in boot

Some BMCs support power cycling the chassis via the chassis control
command 2 subcommand 2 (ipmitool called it 'chassis power cycle'). If
the BMC supports the chassis device, register a shutdown_final handler
that sends the power cycle command if request and waits up to 10s for
it to take effect. To minimize stack strain, we preallocate a ipmi
request in the softc. At the moment, we're verbose about what we're
doing.

Set watchdog timer parameters only when they really need to be changed.
In other cases just restart the timer with single Reset command instead
of two (Set and Reset).
From one side this visually reduces amount of CPU time burned in tight
loop waiting while some slow BMC configures its watchdog hardware, that
seems to be much more complicated task then just resetting the timer.
From another side on some BMCs those slow Set commands sometimes tend to
timeout, that leads to noisy log messages and even more CPU time burned,
so avoiding them can provide even bigger bonuses.

kcs_polled_request() and smic_polled_request().
- Add a new backend callback "ipmi_driver_request" to handle a driver

worker thread sleeps during request processing anyway.
- Allocate driver requests on the stack rather than using malloc().

in the future in a backward compatible (API and ABI) way.
The cap_rights_t represents capability rights. We used to use one bit to
represent one right, but we are running out of spare bits. Currently the new
structure provides place for 114 rights (so 50 more than the previous
cap_rights_t), but it is possible to grow the structure to hold at least 285
rights, although we can make it even larger if 285 rights won't be enough.
The structure definition looks like this:
struct cap_rights {
uint64_t cr_rights[CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION + 2];
};
The initial CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION is 0.
The top two bits in the first element of the cr_rights[] array contain total
number of elements in the array - 2. This means if those two bits are equal to
0, we have 2 array elements.
The top two bits in all remaining array elements should be 0.
The next five bits in all array elements contain array index. Only one bit is
used and bit position in this five-bits range defines array index. This means
there can be at most five array elements in the future.
To define new right the CAPRIGHT() macro must be used. The macro takes two
arguments - an array index and a bit to set, eg.
#define CAP_PDKILL CAPRIGHT(1, 0x0000000000000800ULL)
We still support aliases that combine few rights, but the rights have to belong
to the same array element, eg:
#define CAP_LOOKUP CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000000400ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMOD CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000002000ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMODAT (CAP_FCHMOD | CAP_LOOKUP)
There is new API to manage the new cap_rights_t structure:
cap_rights_t *cap_rights_init(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_clear(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_set(const cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_valid(const cap_rights_t *rights);
void cap_rights_merge(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
void cap_rights_remove(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
bool cap_rights_contains(const cap_rights_t *big, const cap_rights_t *little);
Capability rights to the cap_rights_init(), cap_rights_set(),
cap_rights_clear() and cap_rights_is_set() functions are provided by
separating them with commas, eg:
cap_rights_t rights;
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_READ, CAP_WRITE, CAP_FSTAT);
There is no need to terminate the list of rights, as those functions are
actually macros that take care of the termination, eg:
#define cap_rights_set(rights, ...) \
__cap_rights_set((rights), __VA_ARGS__, 0ULL)
void __cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
Thanks to using one bit as an array index we can assert in those functions that
there are no two rights belonging to different array elements provided
together. For example this is illegal and will be detected, because CAP_LOOKUP
belongs to element 0 and CAP_PDKILL to element 1:
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_LOOKUP | CAP_PDKILL);
Providing several rights that belongs to the same array's element this way is
correct, but is not advised. It should only be used for aliases definition.
This commit also breaks compatibility with some existing Capsicum system calls,
but I see no other way to do that. This should be fine as Capsicum is still
experimental and this change is not going to 9.x.

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.

kernel for FreeBSD 9.0:
Add a new capability mask argument to fget(9) and friends, allowing system
call code to declare what capabilities are required when an integer file
descriptor is converted into an in-kernel struct file *. With options
CAPABILITIES compiled into the kernel, this enforces capability
protection; without, this change is effectively a no-op.
Some cases require special handling, such as mmap(2), which must preserve
information about the maximum rights at the time of mapping in the memory
map so that they can later be enforced in mprotect(2) -- this is done by
narrowing the rights in the existing max_protection field used for similar
purposes with file permissions.
In namei(9), we assert that the code is not reached from within capability
mode, as we're not yet ready to enforce namespace capabilities there.
This will follow in a later commit.
Update two capability names: CAP_EVENT and CAP_KEVENT become
CAP_POST_KEVENT and CAP_POLL_KEVENT to more accurately indicate what they
represent.

and remove a buffer overflow:
- Remove the array of per-type dispatch functions. Instead, pass each
structure to a single callback. The callback should check the type of
each table entry to take appropriate action. This matches the behavior
of other table walkers such as for the MP Table and MADT.
- Don't attempt to save an array of string pointers for each structure
entry. Instead, just skip the strings. If this code is reused to
provide a generic SMBIOS table walker in the future we could provide
a method that looks up a specific string N for a given structure record
instead of pre-populating an array of pointers. This fixes a buffer
overflow for structure entries with more than 20 strings.

or not the OS has to wait for RX_RDY or TX_RDY to be set before the OS sets
the control code in the control/status register. Looking at the interface
design, it seems that RX_RDY and TX_RDY are probably there to protect
access to the data register and have nothing to do with the control/status
register. Nevertheless, try to take what I think is the more conservative
approach and always wait for the appropriate [TR]X_RDY flag to be set
before writing any of the WR_NEXT, WR_END, RD_START, or RD_NEXT control
codes to the control/status register.
