[PATCH v2] reboot: allow to specify reboot mode via sysfs

From: Matteo Croce
Date: Fri Nov 06 2020 - 15:07:12 EST


From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The kernel cmdline reboot= option offers some sort of control
on how the reboot is issued.
Add handles in sysfs to allow setting these reboot options, so they
can be changed when the system is booted, other than at boot time.

The handlers are under <sysfs>/kernel/reboot, can be read to
get the current configuration and written to alter it.

# cd /sys/kernel/reboot/

# grep . *
cpu:0
force:0
mode:cold
type:acpi

# echo 2 >cpu
# echo 1 >force
# echo soft >mode
# echo bios >type

# grep . *
cpu:2
force:1
mode:soft
type:bios

Before setting anything, check for CAP_SYS_BOOT capability, so it's
possible to allow an unpriviledged process to change these settings
simply by relaxing the handles permissions, without opening them to
the world.
