From e784b6499d9cba83b7f3f032b7ee01f7ca96ad91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mahesh Salgaonkar Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2015 21:24:38 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/powernv: Invoke opal_cec_reboot2() on unrecoverable machine check errors. On non-recoverable MCE errors in kernel space, Linux kernel panics and system reboots. On BMC based system opal-prd runs as a daemon in the host. Hence, kernel crash may prevent opal-prd to detect and analyze this MCE error. This may land us in a situation where the faulty memory never gets de-configured and Linux would keep hitting same MCE error again and again. If this happens in early stage of kernel initialization, then Linux will keep crashing and rebooting in a loop. This patch fixes this issue by invoking new opal_cec_reboot2() call with reboot type OPAL_REBOOT_PLATFORM_ERROR to inform BMC/OCC about this error, so that BMC can collect relevant data for error analysis and decide what component to de-configure before rebooting. This patch is dependent on OPAL patchset posted on skiboot mailing list at https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/skiboot/2015-July/001771.html that introduces opal_cec_reboot2() opal call.
