Subject: [PATCH] x86/reboot: Add call to do_kernel_restart()
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 13:29:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220-x86_do_kernel_restart-v1-1-a0cee49bbc80@dev.tdt.de> (raw)
SoC devices like the Intel / MaxLinear Lightning Mountain must be reset
by the RCU instead of using "normal" x86 mechanisms like ACPI, BIOS,
KBD, etc.
Therefore, the RCU driver (reset-intel-gw) registers a restart handler
which triggers the global reset signal.
Unfortunately, this is of no use as long as the restart chain is not
processed during reboot on x86 systems.
So we must call do_kernel_restart() when a reboot is performed. This has
long been common practice for other architectures.
