[PATCH 0/2] EFI: Reset system after capsule-on-disk

Hi,
According to Takahiro's suggestion and discussion, I made a patchset to update the EFI capsule-on-disk, so that it does not use UpdateCapsule() EFI API and reset after completing the capsule-on-disk.
The reset after completing the capsule-on-disk is stated in the UEFI specification 2.9, section 8.5.5 "Delivery of Capsules via file on Mass Storage device" as below,
In all cases that a capsule is identified for processing the system is restarted after capsule processing is completed.
Note that this feature is enabled by CONFIG_EFI_RESET_AFTER_CAPSULE_ON_DISK. If you want to keep the current firmware runs after capsule-on-disk (e.g. for debugging), you can configure it disabled.
Thank you,

Masami Hiramatsu (2): efi_loader: Avoid using efi_update_capsule() from update capsule on disk efi_loader: Reset system after CapsuleUpdate on disk

The efi_update_capsule() may have to handle the capsule flags as an UEFI runtime and boottime service, but the capsule-on-disk process doesn't. Thus, the capsule-on-disk should use the efi_capsule_update_firmware() directly instead of efi_update_capsule(). To keep the consistency ESRT also will be updated after all capsule updates are completed.

Thanks for review.

Add a config option to reset system soon after processing capsule update on disk. This is required in UEFI specification 2.9 Section 8.5.5 "Delivery of Capsules via file on Mass Storage device" as;
In all cases that a capsule is identified for processing the system is restarted after capsule processing is completed.

Is there known use cases for making this an option? Feels a bit like option creep that is too easy to choose the wrong setting.
Otherwise, this looks good to me.

While I don't object to adding a message, I'd rather see that a sub-command, like "efidebug capsule show-result," be added to efidebug command. Please note the result for each capsule will be recorded in "CapsuleNNNN" variable which may contain additional information. (I haven't implemented efi_variable_result_fmp though.)

No, I just guessed that it may be helpful for porting FWU, because we can check whether the metadata is updated correctly before reboot. (anyway, while developing we can just comment out the code too.)
