There can be few cases when we need to shut-down the system in order to protect the hardware. Currently this is done at least by the thermal core when temperature raises over certain limit. Some PMICs can also generate interrupts for example for over-current or over-voltage, voltage drops, short-circuit, ... etc. On some systems these are a sign of hardware failure and only thing to do is try to protect the rest of the hardware by shutting down the system. Add shut-down logic which can be used by all subsystems instead of implementing the shutdown in each subsystem. The logic is stolen from thermal_core with difference of using atomic_t instead of a mutex in order to allow calls directly from IRQ context and changing the WARN() to pr_emerg() as discussed here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YJuPwAZroVZ%2Fw633@alley/ and here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20210331093104.383705-4-geert+renesas@glider.be/ Signed-off-by: Matti Vaittinen <matti.vaittinen@fi.rohmeurope.com> Acked-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@linaro.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/e83ec1ca9408f90c857ea9dcdc57b14d9037b03f.1622628333.git.matti.vaittinen@fi.rohmeurope.com Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>
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.
