I don't recall if we discussed this on the list, but I'd really prefer that we don't make kernel changes to support this beyond implementing PSCI SYSTEM_RESET2 support and then some sort of vendor specific (or if ARM is willing to update the spec then ARM specific) reset command on panic reboot paths. The idea is to set the cookie in the bootloader before the kernel is booted, then any insta-reboots/watchdogs would go into download mode, no special init code required to lay down the cookie or clear it on normal reboot. The normal reboot PSCI call would clear the cookie in the firmware, in case something goes wrong after the kernel hands off control to PSCI, and then panics that want to go into download mode would make the SYSTEM_RESET2 reboot call into PSCI that sets the cookie. Maybe it could be a linux specific psci number or maybe we could configure the reboot call in the psci node to be this specific number so that it can be different based on the firmware implementation if consolidating around a single number doesn't work. Either way, that all seems manageable and we can keep these cookie details out of the kernel and the reboot/panic paths. > > Currently this series doesn't add support for android targets where > a couple of SCM calls are required to set/unset the download mode > cookies and SDI configuration but can be easily added gradually to > the same driver, so as of now only chrome platforms are supported > and tested. > > Sai Prakash Ranjan (3): > soc: qcom: Add download mode support > dt-bindings: msm: Add QTI download mode support binding > arm64: dts: qcom: sc7180: Add IMEM, pil info and download mode region > > .../bindings/arm/msm/qcom,dload-mode.yaml | 53 ++++++ > MAINTAINERS | 7 + > arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sc7180.dtsi | 21 +++ > drivers/soc/qcom/Kconfig | 10 ++ > drivers/soc/qcom/Makefile | 1 + > drivers/soc/qcom/download_mode.c | 152 ++++++++++++++++++ > 6 files changed, 244 insertions(+) > create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/msm/qcom,dload-mode.yaml > create mode 100644 drivers/soc/qcom/download_mode.c

So following what you said, we can just implement PSCI_SYSTEM_RESET2 in firmware to enter the download mode having cookies already set by default and the cookie is cleared when we have a normal reboot via PSCI_SYSTEM_RESET. For panic reboot, we already have a cmdline *reboot=panic_warm* to identify panic reboots and can call into PSCI_SYSTEM_RESET2. I have just tested and it works fine if we have psci_system_reset2_supported as true. @Trilok/@Elliot, you can check if above works for your usecases in android as well and it doesn't need any of your additional changes to kernel.
