Re: [PATCH] EDAC/altera: Warm Reset option for Stratix10 peripheral DBE

[James Morse <james.morse@arm.com>]

Hi Thor,

(CC: +Mark, Lorenzo and Sudeep for PSCI.
How should SYSTEM_RESET2 be used for a vendor-specific reset?

The original patch is:
lore.kernel.org/r/1559594269-10077-1-git-send-email-thor.thayer@linux.intel.com

... so you want to make different SMC calls on each CPU after panic()?

Oooer!

panic_smp_self_stop() isn't for drivers to override: only the arch code.
__cpu_disable() is only for the cpu-hotplug machinery. Nothing else should touch it.

Isn't this thing only called if another CPU out there is panic()ing too?


I think one of the problems here is arm64 leaves secondary CPUs running after panic().
This would be better fixed by using the appropriate cpu_ops[]->cpu_die() call in arm64's
ipi_cpu_stop().


As for passing platform-specific options, PSCI[0] has a 'reset_type' for SYSTEM_RESET2,
which looks suspiciously like what you want here. I'm not sure how its expected to be
used... hopefully the PSCI maintainers can give us some pointers.

(The existing support is commit 4302e381a870 ("firmware/psci: add support for SYSTEM_RESET2"))


Is it possible for firmware to do both the cold/warm reset work when SYSTEM_RESET is
called? This would mean you don't have to care here and there are fewer choices to be made
overall.
If not, is there anything left behind that can give it the hint? Like non-zero error
counters for the USB/Ethernet devices?

Isn't this value supposed to be provided on the kernel commandline? Surely this prevents
debug using the commandline option to increase the delay?

(I see you already change it)

What do these SMC do? Are they equivalent to the PSCI CPU online/offline calls?

panic() notifiers aren't robust as they can be skipped if kdump is loaded.


Thanks,

James
