Well the system is resetting so there are no real consequences. The problem on those two paths is that the APs have not been halted with a machine_shutdown() and that is a precondition to issuing GETSEC[SEXIT]. Only the BSP should be active and SEXIT must be done on it. Thanks Ross

To expand on this just a bit further. On all paths we were able to identify, the SECRETS bit is cleared, memconfig is unlocked, and the private registers are all closed. This makes the system as safe as possible to go through a power event and be able to come back up on the other side. The clean way is to always go through an SEXIT before a power event, but as Ross highlighted this can only be done after the APs have been halted. v/r, dps

If the MLE kernel is being powered off, rebooted or halted, then SEXIT must be called. Note that the SEXIT GETSEC leaf can only be called after a machine_shutdown() has been done on these paths. The machine_shutdown() is not called on a few paths like when poweroff action does not have a poweroff callback (into ACPI code) or when an emergency reset is done. In these cases, just the TXT registers are finalized but SEXIT is skipped.
