I have managed to discuss a little bit this patchset over the last
few days and I think we have defined a plan going forward.

A point that was raised is:

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/reboot.2.html

LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_RESTART2 *arg command, what is it supposed to
represent ?

Is it the mode the system should reboot into OR it is the
actual command to be issued (which is what this patchset
implements) ?

LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_RESTART "..a default restart..."

It is unclear what "default" means. We wonder whether the
reboot_mode variable was introduced to _define_ that "default".

So, in short, my aim is trying to decouple reboot_mode from the
LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_RESTART2 *arg command.

I believe that adding a sysfs interface to reboot-mode driver
infrastructure would be useful, so that the commands would
be exposed to userspace and userspace can set the *arg command
specifically to issue a given reset/mode.

I wonder why this is not already in place for eg syscon-reboot-mode
resets, how does user space issue a command in those systems if the
available commands aren't exposed to userspace ?

Is there a kernel entity exposing those "modes" to userspace, somehow ?

This can be changed and I think it should, so that the reboot modes
are exposed to user space and PSCI can use that.

That's not what the code does.

Related to my initial question above. If LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_RESTART2 *arg command,
is the actual reset to be issued, should we add a default mode "cold"
and, if SYSTEM_RESET2 is supported, a "warm" reset mode too ?

It all boils down to what *arg represents - adding "cold" and "warm"
modes would remove the dependency on reboot_mode for resets issued
through LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_RESTART2, the question is whether this
is the correct thing to do.

Comments very welcome.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
