As per PAPR we have to look for both EPOW sensor value and event modifier to
identify type of event and take appropriate action.
Sensor value = 3 (EPOW_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN) schedule system to be shutdown after
OS defined delay (default 10 mins).
EPOW Event Modifier for sensor value = 3:
We have to initiate immediate shutdown for most of the event modifier except
value = 2 (system running on UPS).
Checking with firmware document its clear that we have to wait for predefined
time before initiating shutdown. If power is restored within time we should
cancel the shutdown process. I think commit 79872e35 accidently enabled
immediate poweroff for EPOW_SHUTDOWN_ON_UPS event.
We have user space tool (rtas_errd) on LPAR to monitor for EPOW_SHUTDOWN_ON_UPS.
Once it gets event it initiates shutdown after predefined time. Also starts
monitoring for any new EPOW events. If it receives "Power restored" event
before predefined time it will cancel the shutdown. Otherwise after
predefined time it will shutdown the system.
Fixes: 79872e35 (powerpc/pseries: All events of EPOW_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN must initiate shutdown)
