Patch series "reboot: support runtime configuration of emergency
hw_protection action", v3.
We currently leave the decision of whether to shutdown or reboot to
protect hardware in an emergency situation to the individual drivers.
This works out in some cases, where the driver detecting the critical
failure has inside knowledge: It binds to the system management controller
for example or is guided by hardware description that defines what to do.
This is inadequate in the general case though as a driver reporting e.g.
an imminent power failure can't know whether a shutdown or a reboot would
be more appropriate for a given hardware platform.
To address this, this series adds a hw_protection kernel parameter and
sysfs toggle that can be used to change the action from the shutdown
default to reboot. A new hw_protection_trigger API then makes use of this
default action.
My particular use case is unattended embedded systems that don't have
support for shutdown and that power on automatically when power is
supplied:
- A brief power cycle gets detected by the driver
- The kernel powers down the system and SoC goes into shutdown mode
- Power is restored
- The system remains oblivious to the restored power
- System needs to be manually power cycled for a duration long enough
to drain the capacitors
With this series, such systems can configure the kernel with
hw_protection=reboot to have the boot firmware worry about critical
conditions.
This patch (of 12):
Currently __hw_protection_shutdown() either reboots or shuts down the
system according to its shutdown argument.
To make the logic easier to follow, both inside __hw_protection_shutdown
and at caller sites, lets replace the bool parameter with an enum.
This will be extra useful, when in a later commit, a third action is added
to the enumeration.
No functional change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
