Basically my thinking is that the patch should be reverted, if my fix
below does not work.
I distilled your test results into:
reboot=t # triple fault ok
reboot=k # keyboard ctrl FAIL
reboot=b # BIOS ok
reboot=a # ACPI FAIL
reboot=e # EFI FAIL [system has no EFI]
reboot=p # PCI 0xcf9 FAIL
And I think it's pretty obvious that we should only try 0xcf9 as a
last resort - if at all. For some reason the 0xcf9 reboot method got
marked 'safe' - why is that? If only pci_direct_probe() had funny
extra lines /* like this */ ...
The other observation is that (on this box) we should try the 'BIOS'
method before the PCI method.
Thirdly, CF9_COND is a total misnomer - it should be something like
CF9_SAFE or CF9_CAREFUL, and 'CF9' should be 'CF9_FORCE' ...
[ Plus all the BOOT_ flags are total misnomers as well, why aren't
they named REBOOT_ ...? ]
Anyway, the patch below fixes the worst problems:
- it orders the actual reboot logic to follow the reboot ordering
pattern - it was in a pretty random order before for no good
reason.
- it fixes the CF9 misnomers and uses BOOT_CF9_FORCE and
BOOT_CF9_SAFE flags to make the code more obvious.
- it tries the BIOS reboot method before the PCI reboot method.
Only build tested.
Alternatively we could just use the following reboot order:
* 1) If the FADT has the ACPI reboot register flag set, try it
* 2) If still alive, write to the keyboard controller
* 3) If still alive, write to the ACPI reboot register again
* 4) If still alive, write to the keyboard controller again
* 5) If still alive, call the EFI runtime service to reboot
* 6) If still alive, force a triple fault
I.e. eliminate the 'PCI' and 'BIOS' methods from our default sequence,
as both are documented as being able to hang some boxes.
Thanks,
Ingo
