Date of This Document: 12/02/2008 1.3.1. Date this project was conceived: 11/01/2007 2. Project Summary 2.1. Project Description: To provide a new service to set/change boot configuration parameters. One application of this service will be to control Fast Reboot behavior. 4. Technical Description: 4.1. Details: The boot configuration service will be called svc:/system/boot-config:default config/fastreboot_default boolean true config/fastreboot_onpanic boolean true 4.1.1. Service behavior The svc:/system/boot-config:default service will apply the configuration defined in this case by uploading the configuration to the kernel. The service will be enabled by default. 4.1.1.1 fastreboot_default # svccfg -s boot-config:default setprop \ config/fastreboot_default="false" # svccfg -s boot-config:default refresh When set to true, reboot(1M) and init(1M) 6 would call uadmin(2) with AD_FASTREBOOT which will bypass firmware. 4.1.1.2 fastreboot_onpanic # svccfg -s boot-config:default setprop \ config/fastreboot_onpanic="false" # svccfg -s boot-config:default refresh When set to true, the system will fast reboot on panic. 4.1.2. Refresh # svcadm refresh svc:/system/boot-config:default will upload all the variables to the kernel. 4.2. Bug/RFE Number(s): 6768468 Introducing svc:/system/boot-config service 4.5. Interfaces: Minor binding only. INTERFACE COMMITMENT LEVEL COMMENT svc:/system/boot-config committed This service requires solaris.system.shutdown authorization. config/fastreboot_default committed Boolean property config/fastreboot_onpanic committed Boolean property AD_UPDATE_BOOT_CONFIG Project private Macro defined in uadmin.h. 4.6. Doc Impact: 4.6.1 Man pages for reboot(1M) -f Fast reboot, bypassing firmware and boot loader. The new kernel will be loaded into memory by the running kernel, and control will be transferred to the newly loaded ker- nel. If disk or kernel arguments are specified, they must be specified before other boot arguments. This option is currently available only on x86 systems. | Service svc:/system/boot-config:default is enabled by | default. When fastreboot_default property is set to "true", | "reboot" will behave as "reboot -f". | | See EXAMPLES for details. 4.6.2 Man pages for init(1M) 6 Stop the operating system and reboot to the state defined by the initdefault entry in /etc/inittab. On x86 systems, service svc:/system/boot-config:default is | enabled by default. When the fastreboot_default property is | set to "true", "init 6" will bypass the firmware. | 4.7. Admin/Config Impact: With svc:/system/boot-config:default enabled, and the following default property settings: config/fastreboot_default boolean true config/fastreboot_onpanic boolean true "reboot(1M)" and "init(1M) 6" will go through the fast reboot path. System will fast reboot on panic. If no arguments are provided to "reboot", the default entry in menu.lst will be used.

One question though: how do uadmin/reboot/etc get these settings? (Also, in a panic reboot, the uadmin commands are not involved, are they? So how does this setting get passed to the kernel?) I realize these are implementation details, hence the unconditional +1 above. But it would still be nice to have them anyway. -- Garrett Liane Praza wrote: > Please do reply to this mail or cc Sherry on any responses.

Excellent question! When the service is started or refreshed, uadmin(1M) is invoked with the newly added project private function AD_UPDATE_BOOT_CONFIG. Upon being called with this function, uadmin(1M) gathers up all the relevant property settings in svc:/system/boot-config:default service into a data structure and invokes uadmin(2) with a pointer to the data structure. uadmin(2) copies the information contained in the data structure from userland into the kernel, and calls a kernel function. The kernel function updates the kernel variables, and either loads a backup kernel or frees the memory depending on the variable setting. Whew, try saying all that in one breath. :) For user-invoked reboot with "reboot(1M)" or "init(1M) 6", the code for the commands has been modified to look up the property values using libscf so it's more straightforward. Hope that answers your question.

While that doesn't exactly match the policy, it's nothing to hold up the case for and is a valid thing to do. I'll participate and add a +1. Thanks. Gary..

In PSARC business today, we confirmed this is an implementation note and that Sherry and Gary should talk to confirm there are no problems. PSARC feels the case has nearly converged, and doesn't need to wait the full week for approval, though was hesitant to approve with less than 24 hours of review time during PSARC business today. Per their request, I've changed the timeout to 12/12/2008. thanks, liane From liane.praza@sun.com Mon Dec 15 10:35:29 2008 Received: from sunmail2sca.sfbay.sun.com (sunmail2sca.SFBay.Sun.COM [129.145.155.234]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id mBFIZTrq000520 for ; Mon, 15 Dec 2008 10:35:29 -0800 (PST) Received: from brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com (brm-avmta-1.Central.Sun.COM [129.147.4.11]) by sunmail2sca.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.7+Sun/8.13.7/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id mBFIZQhn001800; Mon, 15 Dec 2008 10:35:28 -0800 (PST) Received: from pmxchannel-daemon.brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com by brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) id <0KBX0030ZKZ4T300@brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com>; Mon, 15 Dec 2008 11:35:28 -0700 (MST) Received: from jurassic-x4600.sfbay.sun.com ([129.146.17.59]) by brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) with ESMTP id <0KBX00J05KZ1QS60@brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com>; Mon, 15 Dec 2008 11:35:26 -0700 (MST) Received: from [129.146.228.161] (nihil.SFBay.Sun.COM [129.146.228.161]) by jurassic-x4600.sfbay.sun.com (8.14.3+Sun/8.14.3) with ESMTP id mBFIZPeU203575; Mon, 15 Dec 2008 10:35:25 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2008 10:36:49 -0800 From: Liane Praza Subject: PSARC 2008/760 Boot configuration Service To: psarc-ext@sun.com Cc: Sherry Moore Message-id: <4946A3C1.9050202@sun.com> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-PMX-Version: 5.4.1.325704 User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 (X11/20081023) Content-Length: 114 Status: RO X-Status: $$$$ X-UID: 0000000011 The case timed out on Friday, so with no further comments and 2 +1s, I'm marking this fasttrack approved. liane From Dana.Myers@Sun.COM Thu Feb 12 10:43:53 2009 Received: from sunmail5.uk.sun.com (sunmail5.UK.Sun.COM [129.156.85.165]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id n1CIhrHq023880 for ; Thu, 12 Feb 2009 10:43:53 -0800 (PST) Received: from nwk-avmta-1.SFBay.Sun.COM (nwk-avmta-1.SFBay.Sun.COM [129.146.11.74]) by sunmail5.uk.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id n1CIhpxl009981 for <@sunmail2sca.sfbay.sun.com:PSARC-ext@sun.com>; Thu, 12 Feb 2009 18:43:52 GMT Received: from pmxchannel-daemon.nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM by nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) id <0KEY00L03UP3N700@nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM> for PSARC-ext@sun.com (ORCPT PSARC-ext@sun.com); Thu, 12 Feb 2009 10:43:51 -0800 (PST) Received: from brmea-mail-4.sun.com ([192.18.98.36]) by nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) with ESMTP id <0KEY00A0VUP1JZ80@nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM> for PSARC-ext@sun.com (ORCPT PSARC-ext@sun.com); Thu, 12 Feb 2009 10:43:50 -0800 (PST) Received: from fe-amer-10.sun.com ([192.18.109.80]) by brmea-mail-4.sun.com (8.13.6+Sun/8.12.9) with ESMTP id n1CIhn3s011153 for ; Thu, 12 Feb 2009 18:43:49 +0000 (GMT) Received: from conversion-daemon.mail-amer.sun.com by mail-amer.sun.com (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.0-3.01 64bit (built Dec 23 2008)) id <0KEY00I00U9DKB00@mail-amer.sun.com> for PSARC-ext@sun.com (ORCPT PSARC-ext@sun.com); Thu, 12 Feb 2009 11:43:49 -0700 (MST) Received: from [192.168.0.100] (c-71-198-48-32.hsd1.ca.comcast.net [71.198.48.32]) by mail-amer.sun.com (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.0-3.01 64bit (built Dec 23 2008)) with ESMTPSA id <0KEY00CLNUOMVP80@mail-amer.sun.com> for PSARC-ext@sun.com (ORCPT PSARC-ext@sun.com); Thu, 12 Feb 2009 11:43:35 -0700 (MST) Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2009 10:43:00 -0800 From: "Dana H.

CR 6760313 reports a result of not quiescing the ACPI CA sub-system. However, the problem is potentially more difficult; even given such an interface, it's not clear that system BIOSes would universally be accustomed to the OS/ACPI subsystem stopping/restarting/re-initializing. Fortunately, the vast majority of BIOSes appear to be idempotent in this regard. However, BIOS may maintain "platform" state, with the inherent assumption that this state is initialized during boot-up. Without the BIOS being aware of a reboot, the "platform" state may not properly synchronize with the ACPI namespace when it is re-created. Of perhaps more importance - after a reset, a system starts in "Legacy" mode, which fundamentally means that platform-related events (power button is the most common example) are handled by the platform BIOS in SMM code. Starting-up ACPI, the system is switched to ACPI mode, which permits the OS to handle events (like the power button, and, on a very few systems for semi-obvious reasons, thermal/fan control). So, the OS could see interrupt requests earlier than expected, but we're relatively safe in that respect. Some (buggy) BIOSes might perturb the system hardware state as a result of the Legacy->ACPI mode switch in totally unexpected ways. It's unclear how that might manifest itself after a fast-reboot - where the Legacy->ACPI mode switch almost certainly doesn't occur - the platform had been in ACPI mode all along. In short, there are risks to turn Fast Reboot on by default that people should be aware. We do have several mechanism to disable Fast Reboot should unforeseen problems arise: a) Black-listing b) Disabling the boot-config service c) reboot -p From Gangadhar.M@Sun.COM Wed May 5 07:20:28 2010 Received: from newsunmail1brm.central.sun.com (newsunmail1brm.Central.Sun.COM [129.147.62.245]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id o45EKR09026422 for ; Wed, 5 May 2010 07:20:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com (brm-avmta-1.Central.Sun.COM [129.147.4.11]) by newsunmail1brm.central.sun.com (8.13.7+Sun/8.13.7/ENSMAIL,v2.4) with ESMTP id o45EKRbc047764 for <@sunmail2sca.sfbay.sun.com:psarc-ext@sun.com>; Wed, 5 May 2010 08:20:27 -0600 (MDT) Received: from pmxchannel-daemon.brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com by brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) id <0L1Y00403AI3T600@brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com> for psarc-ext@sun.com (ORCPT psarc-ext@sun.com); Wed, 05 May 2010 08:20:27 -0600 (MDT) Received: from gmp-eb-inf-1.sun.com ([192.18.6.21]) by brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) with ESMTP id <0L1Y005Q9AI1RDC0@brm-avmta-1.central.sun.com> for psarc-ext@sun.com (ORCPT psarc-ext@sun.com); Wed, 05 May 2010 08:20:26 -0600 (MDT) Received: from fe-emea-10.sun.com (gmp-eb-lb-1-fe1.eu.sun.com [192.18.6.7] (may be forged)) by gmp-eb-inf-1.sun.com (8.13.7+Sun/8.12.9) with ESMTP id o45EKOm9025869 for ; Wed, 05 May 2010 14:20:25 +0000 (GMT) Received: from conversion-daemon.fe-emea-10.sun.com by fe-emea-10.sun.com (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7u2-7.04 64bit (built Jul 2 2009)) id <0L1Y00A008OFU300@fe-emea-10.sun.com> for psarc-ext@sun.com (ORCPT psarc-ext@sun.com); Wed, 05 May 2010 15:20:16 +0100 (BST) Received: from [192.168.0.6] ([unknown] [69.250.47.82]) by fe-emea-10.sun.com (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7u2-7.04 64bit (built Jul 2 2009)) with ESMTPSA id <0L1Y000OHAHAXEF0@fe-emea-10.sun.com> for psarc-ext@sun.com (ORCPT psarc-ext@sun.com); Wed, 05 May 2010 15:19:59 +0100 (BST) Date: Wed, 05 May 2010 19:42:27 +0530 From: Gangadhar Mylapuram Subject: 2008/760 Boot configuration Service Sender: Gangadhar.M@Sun.COM To: psarc-ext@Sun.COM, Sherry.Moore@Sun.COM, Liane.Praza@Sun.COM Message-id: <4BE17CCB.80502@sun.com> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-PMX-Version: 5.4.1.325704 User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 (X11/20090323) Status: RO Content-Length: 230 Hi, I request to change the PSARC 2008/760 binding from micro to patch.

As part of the S10 fix we backport the boot-config service. Summary of 6276367: On Solaris systems, boot-archive inconsistencies during boot up causes the system to enter into sulogin mode. System administrators have to update the boot archive and then reboot the system. We are trying to automate this process for an extent as part of the fix. We use boot-config service to add a property 'trust-bios-boot-device' (private property) and have a check for this property during boot up to decide on whether to trust the default grub entry of the system in case of x86.

I suspect it may simply be better to run this as a separate fast track with a cross reference to 2008/760.
