[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/4] x86: Implement reset_cpu() correctly for modern CPUs

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Sat Apr 25 17:04:32 CEST 2015


The existing code is pretty ancient and is unreliable on modern hardware.
Generally it will hang.

We can use port 0xcf9 to initiate reset on more modern hardware (say in the
last 10 years). Update the reset_cpu() function to do this, and add a new
'full reset' function to perform a full power cycle.
