   7        depends on HAS_IOMEM
   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
  17          If unsure, say N.

  21 config IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
  22        bool 'Generate a panic event to all BMCs on a panic'
  23        help
  24          When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to
  25          generate an IPMI event describing the panic to each interface
  26          registered with the message handler.
  27
  28 config IPMI_PANIC_STRING
  29         bool 'Generate OEM events containing the panic string'
  30         depends on IPMI_PANIC_EVENT
  31         help
  32           When a panic occurs, this will cause the IPMI message handler to
  33           generate IPMI OEM type f0 events holding the IPMB address of the
  34           panic generator (byte 4 of the event), a sequence number for the
  35           string (byte 5 of the event) and part of the string (the rest of the
  36           event).  Bytes 1, 2, and 3 are the normal usage for an OEM event.
  37           You can fetch these events and use the sequence numbers to piece the
  38           string together.

  40 config IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE
  41        tristate 'Device interface for IPMI'
  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        help
  49          Provides a driver for System Interfaces (KCS, SMIC, BT).
  50          Currently, only KCS and SMIC are supported.  If
  51          you are using IPMI, you should probably say "y" here.
  52
  53 config IPMI_SI_PROBE_DEFAULTS
  54        bool 'Probe for all possible IPMI system interfaces by default'
  55        default n
  56        depends on IPMI_SI
  57        help
  58          Modern systems will usually expose IPMI interfaces via a discoverable
  59          firmware mechanism such as ACPI or DMI. Older systems do not, and so
  60          the driver is forced to probe hardware manually. This may cause boot
  61          delays. Say "n" here to disable this manual probing. IPMI will then
  62          only be available on older systems if the "ipmi_si_intf.trydefaults=1"
  63          boot argument is passed.
  64
  65 config IPMI_WATCHDOG
  66        tristate 'IPMI Watchdog Timer'
  67        help
  68          This enables the IPMI watchdog timer.
  69
  70 config IPMI_POWEROFF
  71        tristate 'IPMI Poweroff'
  72        help
  73          This enables a function to power off the system with IPMI if
  74          the IPMI management controller is capable of this.
