[PATCH hyperv-next v2 0/2] x86/hyperv: VTL mode reboot fixes
From: Roman Kisel
Date: Thu Feb 20 2025 - 15:24:28 EST
The first patch defines a specialized machine emergency restart
callback not to write to the physical address of 0x472 which is
what the native_machine_emergency_restart() does unconditionally.
I first wanted to tweak that function[1], and in the course of
the discussion it looked as the risks of doing that would
outweigh the benefit: the bare-metal systems have likely adopted
that behavior as a standard although I could not find any mentions
of that magic address in the UEFI+ACPI specification.
The second patch removes the need to always supply "reboot=t"
to the kernel command line in the OpenHCL bootloader[2]. There is
no other option at the moment; when/if it appears the newly added
callback's code can be adjusted as required.
