[PATCH v4 5/5] x86/CPU/AMD: Print the reason for the last reset
From: Mario Limonciello
Date: Mon Apr 14 2025 - 20:28:37 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.

v4:
* Use loop that can output multiple reasons
* Drop "Unknown" condition and have dedicated message
v3:
* Align strings in the CSV and code.
* Switch to an array of strings
* Switch to looking up bit of first value
* Re-order message to have number first (makes grepping easier)
* Add x86/amd prefix to message
v2:
* Add string for each reason, but still include value in case multiple
values are set.

The ``energy_performance_preference`` sysfs file can be used to set a bias
of efficiency or performance for a CPU. This has a direct relationship on
the battery life when more heavily biased towards performance.

+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

+kernel ring buffer. When a random reboot occurs this message can be helpful
+to determine the next component to debug such an issue.
