powerpc/pseries: Do not initiate shutdown when system is running on UPS
As per PAPR we have to look for both EPOW sensor value and event
modifier to identify the type of event and take appropriate action.
In LoPAPR v1.1 section 10.2.2 includes table 136 "EPOW Action Codes":
SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN 3
The system must be shut down. An EPOW-aware OS logs the EPOW error
log information, then schedules the system to be shut down to begin
after an OS defined delay internal (default is 10 minutes.)
Then in section 10.3.2.2.8 there is table 146 "Platform Event Log
Format, Version 6, EPOW Section", which includes the "EPOW Event
Modifier":
For EPOW sensor value = 3
0x01 = Normal system shutdown with no additional delay
0x02 = Loss of utility power, system is running on UPS/Battery
0x03 = Loss of system critical functions, system should be shutdown
0x04 = Ambient temperature too high
All other values = reserved
We have a user space tool (rtas_errd) on LPAR to monitor for
EPOW_SHUTDOWN_ON_UPS. Once it gets an event it initiates shutdown
after predefined time. It also starts monitoring for any new EPOW
events. If it receives "Power restored" event before predefined time
it will cancel the shutdown. Otherwise after predefined time it will
shutdown the system.
Commit 79872e35469b ("powerpc/pseries: All events of
EPOW_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN must initiate shutdown") changed our handling of
the "on UPS/Battery" case, to immediately shutdown the system. This
breaks existing setups that rely on the userspace tool to delay
shutdown and let the system run on the UPS.
Fixes: 79872e35469b ("powerpc/pseries: All events of EPOW_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN must initiate shutdown")
