About MPC8245 software reboot

[John Zhan]

Hi,all

Most of MPC8245 kernel port are using watchdog reset manner to get software 
reboot.

I notice that every implement of whaterverplatform_restart()  always enter 
dead loop and then wait for WDT reset.. My idea is, if there has possible to 
implement a software restart function in kernel. Like Uboot doing reset 
command.

Because in my case,the WDT on my customize MPC8245 board has a long timeout 
period, about 30 seconds.

So,

I had to try to replace platform_restart() with do_reset() which found in 
Uboot.

But I got thease, I guess something wrong in memory map.



sh-2.05a# reboot

then Uboot restart  again.

In the meantime,if I re-power the board,it's running okay. I guess MMU not 
fully reset. Platform_restart() maybe needs more jobs to do.



Here is my implement,



static void sc8245_restart(char *cmd){

        ulong msr, addr;



        /* Interrupts and MMU off */

        __asm__ ("mtspr    81, 0");

        /* Interrupts and MMU off */

        __asm__ __volatile__ ("mfmsr    %0":"=r" (msr):);

        msr &= ~0x1030;

        __asm__ __volatile__ ("mtmsr    %0"::"r" (msr));

        /*

         * Trying to execute the next instruction at a non-existing address

         * should cause a machine check, resulting in reset

         */

        addr = 0xfff00100;

        ((void (*)(void)) addr) ();

        return 1;

}







I do not have idea to get it settle. I knew you guys are very kind,so 
,please help.





Thank you in advanced.
