2015-04-15kernel/reboot.c: add orderly_reboot for graceful rebootJoel Stanley1-5/+48
The kernel has orderly_poweroff which allows the kernel to initiate a graceful shutdown of userspace, by running /sbin/poweroff. This adds orderly_reboot that will cause userspace to shut itself down by calling /sbin/reboot. This will be used for shutdown initiated by a system controller on platforms that do not use ACPI. orderly_reboot() should be used when the system wants to allow userspace to gracefully shut itself down. For cases where the system may imminently catch on fire, the existing emergency_restart() provides an immediate reboot without involving userspace.

2014-09-26kernel: add support for kernel restart handler call chainGuenter Roeck1-0/+81
Various drivers implement architecture and/or device specific means to restart (reset) the system. Various mechanisms have been implemented to support those schemes. The best known mechanism is arm_pm_restart, which is a function pointer to be set either from platform specific code or from drivers. Another mechanism is to use hardware watchdogs to issue a reset; this mechanism is used if there is no other method available to reset a board or system. Two examples are alim7101_wdt, which currently uses the reboot notifier to trigger a reset, and moxart_wdt, which registers the arm_pm_restart function. The existing mechanisms have a number of drawbacks. Typically only one scheme to restart the system is supported (at least if arm_pm_restart is used). At least in theory there can be multiple means to restart the system, some of which may be less desirable (for example one mechanism may only reset the CPU, while another may reset the entire system). Using arm_pm_restart can also be racy if the function pointer is set from a driver, as the driver may be in the process of being unloaded when arm_pm_restart is called. Using the reboot notifier is always racy, as it is unknown if and when other functions using the reboot notifier have completed execution by the time the watchdog fires. Introduce a system restart handler call chain to solve the described problems. This call chain is expected to be executed from the architecture specific machine_restart() function. Drivers providing system restart functionality (such as the watchdog drivers mentioned above) are expected to register with this call chain. By using the priority field in the notifier block, callers can control restart handler execution sequence and thus ensure that the restart handler with the optimal restart capabilities for a given system is called first.

2013-12-18kexec: migrate to reboot cpuVivek Goyal1-1/+1
Commit 1b3a5d02ee07 ("reboot: move arch/x86 reboot= handling to generic kernel") moved reboot= handling to generic code. In the process it also removed the code in native_machine_shutdown() which are moving reboot process to reboot_cpu/cpu0. I guess that thought must have been that all reboot paths are calling migrate_to_reboot_cpu(), so we don't need this special handling. But kexec reboot path (kernel_kexec()) is not calling migrate_to_reboot_cpu() so above change broke kexec. Now reboot can happen on non-boot cpu and when INIT is sent in second kerneo to bring up BP, it brings down the machine. So start calling migrate_to_reboot_cpu() in kexec reboot path to avoid this problem. Bisected by WANG Chao.

2013-09-24kernel/reboot.c: re-enable the function of variable reboot_defaultChuansheng Liu1-1/+8
Commit 1b3a5d02ee07 ("reboot: move arch/x86 reboot= handling to generic kernel") did some cleanup for reboot= command line, but it made the reboot_default inoperative. The default value of variable reboot_default should be 1, and if command line reboot= is not set, system will use the default reboot mode.
