Guys what do you think about that:



Julien, for ARM64 please take a look at arch/arm64/kernel/efi.c:efi_poweroff_required(void).

I hope that tweaks for both files should solve our problem.

This sounds good for power off (I haven't tried to power off DOM0 yet). 
But this will not solve the restart problem (see machine_restart in 
arch/arm64/kernel/process.c) which call directly efi_reboot.

[Adding the EFI maintainers]

Tl;DR: Xen's EFI wrappery doesn't implement reset_system, so when
invoked on arm64 we get a NULL dereference.

Please, let's keep the Xen knowledge constrained to the Xen EFI wrapper,
rather than spreading it further.

IMO, given reset_system is a *mandatory* function, the Xen wrapper
should provide an implementation.

I don't see why you can't implement a wrapper that calls the usual Xen
poweroff/reset functions.

Thanks,
Mark.

Hmmm... It seems to me that efi.reset_system override with empty function
in arch/arm/xen/efi.c is the best solution. So, I see three patches here.
One for drivers/firmware/efi/reboot.c, one for arch/arm/xen/efi.c and one
for arch/arm64/kernel/efi.c. Does it make sense?

I still think the empty function should be in drivers/xen/efi.c and we
should use it in arch/x86/xen/efi.c, too.

If you wish we can go that way too. Though I thing that we should fix
drivers/firmware/efi/reboot.c:efi_shutdown_init() too. Just in case.

Sure, go ahead. I won't object.

I realise I'm making a sweeping generalisation, but adding
EFI_PARAVIRT is almost always the wrong thing to do.

I'd much prefer to see Mark's idea implemented.

For the Xen on ARM side, the original patch that started this thread
(20170405181417.15985-1-julien.grall@arm.com) is good to go, right?

Because it makes paravirt a special case, and there's usually very
little reason to make it special in the EFI code. Special-casing means
more branches, more code paths, a bigger testing matrix and more
complex code. 

EFI_PARAVIRT does have its uses, like for those scenarios where we
don't have a table of function pointers that can be overidden for
paravirt.

But we do have such a table for ->reset_system().

This is more or less what I expected. Thanks a lot for explanation.

Yes. I looked at bit closer to the problem mention with power off. 
xen_efi_reset_system cannot be a NOP because there may not be fallback 
alternatives (see machine_power_off in arch/arm64/kernel/process.c)

So I think we would have to translate EFI_RESET* to Xen SHUTDOWN_* and 
then call HYPERVISOR_sched_op directly.

I will send a new version soon.

Cheers,
