This interface provides some registers within a 32-byte range and can be acessed through PCI-to-LPC bridge interface (PMBASE + 0x60).
It's commonly used as a watchdog timer to detect system lockups through SMIs that are generated -- if TCO_EN bit is set -- on every timeout. If NO_REBOOT bit is not set in GCS (General Control and Status register), the system will be resetted upon second timeout if TCO_RLD register wasn't previously written to prevent timeout.
This patch adds support to TCO watchdog logic and few other features like mapping NMIs to SMIs (NMI2SMI_EN bit), system intruder detection, etc. are not implemented yet.
v1 -> v2:
- add migration support for TCO I/O device state
- wake up only when total time expired instead of every 0.6s
- some cleanup suggested by Paolo Bonzini
v2 -> v3:
- set SECOND_TO_STS and BOOT_STS bits in TCO2_STS instead
- improve handling of TCO_LOCK bit in TCO1_CNT register
Michael, ping? :-)
(looks like there's a lot of ICH9 changes since this patchset was sent, so you want me to rebase it against master and resend, please let me know)
Thanks,
Paulo
