Rebooting xtensa images loaded with the '-kernel' option in qemu does not work. When executing a reboot command, the qemu session either hangs or experiences an endless sequence of error messages. Kernel panic - not syncing: Unrecoverable error in exception handler Reset code jumps to the CPU restart address, but Linux can not recover from there because code and data in the kernel init sections have been discarded and overwritten at this point. XTFPGA platforms have a means to reset the CPU by writing 0xdead into a specific FPGA IO address. When used in QEMU the kernel image loaded with the '-kernel' option gets restored to its original state allowing the machine to boot successfully. Use that mechanism to attempt a platform reset. If it does not work, fall back to the existing mechanism. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Max Filippov <jcmvbkbc@gmail.com>
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 Restructured Text 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.
