  • 2965faa5e   kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code ... Browse Code »

    There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
    kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I
    split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.

    And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
    use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.

    The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
    being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use
    kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.

    Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
    in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
    KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.

    Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
    architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
    KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to
    kexec_load syscall.

  • 7a54f46b3   kernel/reboot.c: add orderly_reboot for graceful reboot ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • b63adb979   kernel: add support for kernel restart handler call chain ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • c97102ba9   kexec: migrate to reboot cpu ... Browse Code »

    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.

    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.
