Description

UEFI played a large role in capturing data on a crash dump.  Since the security processor should know when we are performing a crash reboot, it might make sense to move all logistics into a totally separate UEFI image that performs the single task of collecting the data, writing to NVME, and rebooting.

This task is to work with the team that is implementing the crash dump and determine what is necessary for all parts of the boot (UEFI, EC, TZ, etc.) to perform and write whatever is needed in a Rust module.

Research direction

Begin by working with the crash-dump team to map the required responsibilities across UEFI, EC, and TZ during a crash reboot. Define what the separate UEFI image and Rust module must collect, how it writes data to NVMe, and how it reboots; the work is done when all boot components can perform the agreed crash-dump flow.
