[PATCH v2 2/2] x86/CPU/AMD: Print the reason for the last reset
From: Mario Limonciello
Date: Tue Apr 08 2025 - 13:50:24 EST
From: Yazen Ghannam <yazen.ghannam@xxxxxxx>
The following register contains bits that indicate the cause for the
previous reset.
PMx000000C0 (FCH::PM::S5_RESET_STATUS)
This is useful for debug. The reasons for reset are broken into 6 high
level categories. Decode it by category and print during boot.
Specifics within a category are split off into debugging documentation.
The register is accessed indirectly through a "PM" port in the FCH. Use
MMIO access in order to avoid restrictions with legacy port access.
Use a late_initcall() to ensure that MMIO has been set up before trying
to access the register.
This register was introduced with AMD Family 17h, so avoid access on
older families. There is no CPUID feature bit for this register.

v2:
* Add string for each reason, but still include value in case multiple
values are set.

+Random reboot issues
+====================
+When a random reboot occurs, the high-level reason for the reboot is stored
+in a register that will persist onto the next boot.
+
+There are 6 classes of reasons for the reboot:
+ * Software induced
+ * Power state transition
+ * Pin induced
+ * Hardware induced
+ * Remote reset
+ * Internal CPU event
+
+.. csv-table::
+ :header-rows: 1
+ :widths: 1, 1, 1
+ :file: ./amd-reboot-reason.csv
+
+This information is read by the kernel at bootup and is saved into the
+kernel ring buffer. When a random reboot occurs this message can be helpful
+to determine the next component to debug such an issue.
