| 6 | config IPMI_HANDLER |
| 7 | tristate 'IPMI top-level message handler' |
| 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. |

| 17 | If unsure, say N. |

| 19 | config IPMI_PANIC_EVENT |
| 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. |
| 59 | |
| 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. |
