Boot Survivability is a software based workflow for recovering a system
in a failed boot state. Here system recoverability is concerned with
recovering the firmware responsible for boot.
This is implemented by loading the driver with bare minimum (no drm card)
to allow the firmware to be flashed through mei-gsc and collect telemetry.
The driver's probe flow is modified such that it enters survivability mode
when pcode initialization is incomplete and boot status denotes a failure.
In this mode, drm card is not exposed and presence of survivability_mode
entry in PCI sysfs is used to indicate survivability mode and
provide additional information required for debug
This patch adds initialization functions and exposes admin
readable sysfs entries
The new sysfs will have the below layout
/sys/bus/.../bdf
├── survivability_mode
v2: reorder headers
fix doc
remove survivability info and use mode to display information
use separate function for logging survivability information
for critical error (Rodrigo)
v3: use for loop
use dev logs instead of drm
use helper function for aux history(Rodrigo)
remove unnecessary error check of greater than max_scratch
as we are reading only 3 bit
v4: fix checkpatch warnings
fix space (Rodrigo)
rename register

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
