Subject: [RFC PATCH] xtensa: xtfpga: Try software restart before simulating CPU reset
Date: Sun, 1 Aug 2021 10:36:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210801173659.2788924-1-linux@roeck-us.net> (raw)
Rebooting xtensa images in qemu does not work. When executing a reboot
command, the qemu session either hangs or experiences an endless sequence
of error messages.
Kernel panic - not syncing: Unrecoverable error in exception handler
Debugging in qemu shows that the code jumps to the CPU restart address,
but Linux can not recover from there.
As it turns out, the FPGA has a means to reset the CPU by writing 0xdead
into a specific FPGA IO address. Use that mechanism to attempt a platform
reset. If it does not work, fall back to the existing mechanism.

No idea if this is acceptable, but I thought it might be worth a try.
