      [S390] kdump: Add infrastructure for unmapping crashkernel memory · 558df720
      Michael Holzheu authored 
      
This patch introduces a mechanism that allows architecture backends to
remove page tables for the crashkernel memory. This can protect the loaded
kdump kernel from being overwritten by broken kernel code.  Two new
functions crash_map_reserved_pages() and crash_unmap_reserved_pages() are
added that can be implemented by architecture code.  The
crash_map_reserved_pages() function is called before and
crash_unmap_reserved_pages() after the crashkernel segments are loaded.  The
functions are also called in crash_shrink_memory() to create/remove page
tables when the crashkernel memory size is reduced.

To support architectures that have large pages this patch also introduces
a new define KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN. The crashkernel start and size must
always be aligned with KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN.

      [S390] kdump: Initialize vmcoreinfo note at startup · fa8ff292
      Michael Holzheu authored 
      
Currently the vmcoreinfo note is only initialized in case of kdump. On s390
it is possible to create kernel dumps with other dump mechanisms than kdump
(e.g. via hypervisor dump or stand-alone dump tools). For those dumps it
would also be desirable to include the vmcoreinfo data. To accomplish this,
with this patch the vmcoreinfo ELF note is always initialized, not only in
case of a (kdump) crash. On s390 we will add an ABI defined pointer at
a well known address to vmcoreinfo so that dump analysis tools are able to
find this information.

In particular on s390 we have a tool named zgetdump. With this tool it is
possible to convert dump formats on the fly using fuse. E.g. you can mount a
s390 stand-alone dump as ELF dump. When this is done, the tool finds the
vmcoreinfo in the stand-alone dump via the well known ABI defined address and
it creates the respective VMCOREINFO ELF note in the output ELF dump. This then
can be used e.g. by makedumpfile for dump filtering.  No more need for a
vmlinux file with debug information.

So this will look like the following:
$ zgetdump --mount standalone.dump -f elf /mnt
$ ls /mnt
  dump.elf
$ readelf -n /mnt/dump.elf
$ ...
  VMCOREINFO            0x00000474      Unknown note type: (0x00000000)
$ makedumpfile -c -d 31 /mnt/dump.elf dump.kdump

      [S390] kdump: Add KEXEC_CRASH_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT · 3d214fae
      Michael Holzheu authored 
      
On s390 there is a different KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT for the normal and
the kdump kexec case. Therefore this patch introduces a new macro
KEXEC_CRASH_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT. This is set to
KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT for all architectures that do not define
KEXEC_CRASH_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT.

      PM core: rename suspend and resume functions · d1616302
      Alan Stern authored 
      
This patch (as1241) renames a bunch of functions in the PM core.
Rather than go through a boring list of name changes, suffice it to
say that in the end we have a bunch of pairs of functions:

	device_resume_noirq	dpm_resume_noirq
	device_resume		dpm_resume
	device_complete		dpm_complete
	device_suspend_noirq	dpm_suspend_noirq
	device_suspend		dpm_suspend
	device_prepare		dpm_prepare

in which device_X does the X operation on a single device and dpm_X
invokes device_X for all devices in the dpm_list.

In addition, the old dpm_power_up and device_resume_noirq have been
combined into a single function (dpm_resume_noirq).

Lastly, dpm_suspend_start and dpm_resume_end are the renamed versions
of the former top-level device_suspend and device_resume routines.

      PM: Rename device_power_down/up() · e39a71ef
      Magnus Damm authored 
      
Rename the functions performing "_noirq" dev_pm_ops
operations from device_power_down() and device_power_up()
to device_suspend_noirq() and device_resume_noirq().

The new function names are chosen to show that the functions
are responsible for calling the _noirq() versions to finalize
the suspend/resume operation. The current function names do
not perform power down/up anymore so the names may be misleading.

Global function renames:
- device_power_down() -> device_suspend_noirq()
- device_power_up() -> device_resume_noirq()

Static function renames:
- suspend_device_noirq() -> __device_suspend_noirq()
- resume_device_noirq() -> __device_resume_noirq()

      PM: Do not hold dpm_list_mtx while disabling/enabling nonboot CPUs · 32bdfac5
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored 
      We shouldn't hold dpm_list_mtx while executing
[disable|enable]_nonboot_cpus(), because theoretically this may lead
to a deadlock as shown by the following example (provided by Johannes
Berg):

CPU 3       CPU 2                     CPU 1
                                      suspend/hibernate
            something:
            rtnl_lock()               device_pm_lock()
                                       -> mutex_lock(&dpm_list_mtx)

            mutex_lock(&dpm_list_mtx)

linkwatch_work
 -> rtnl_lock()
                                      disable_nonboot_cpus()
                                       -> flush CPU 3 workqueue

Fortunately, device drivers are supposed to stop any activities that
might lead to the registration of new device objects way before
disable_nonboot_cpus() is called, so it shouldn't be necessary to
hold dpm_list_mtx over the entire late part of device suspend and
early part of device resume.

Thus, during the late suspend and the early resume of devices acquire
dpm_list_mtx only when dpm_list is going to be traversed and release
it right after that.

This patch is reported to fix the regressions tracked as
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13245

      kexec: Change kexec jump code ordering · 749b0afc
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored 
      
Change the ordering of the kexec jump code so that the nonboot CPUs
are disabled after calling device drivers' "late suspend" methods.

This change reflects the recent modifications of the power management
code that is also used by kexec jump.

      PM: Rework handling of interrupts during suspend-resume · 2ed8d2b3
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored 
      
Use the functions introduced in by the previous patch,
suspend_device_irqs(), resume_device_irqs() and check_wakeup_irqs(),
to rework the handling of interrupts during suspend (hibernation) and
resume.  Namely, interrupts will only be disabled on the CPU right
before suspending sysdevs, while device drivers will be prevented
from receiving interrupts, with the help of the new helper function,
before their "late" suspend callbacks run (and analogously during
resume).

In addition, since the device interrups are now disabled before the
CPU has turned all interrupts off and the CPU will ACK the interrupts
setting the IRQ_PENDING bit for them, check in sysdev_suspend() if
any wake-up interrupts are pending and abort suspend if that's the
case.

      elf: add ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() · 6cd61c0b
      Tejun Heo authored 
      
ELF core dump is used for both user land core dump and kernel crash
dump.  Depending on architecture, register might need to be accessed
differently for userland and kernel.  Allow architectures to define
ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() and use different operation for kernel
register dump.

      kexec jump: save/restore device state · 89081d17
      Huang Ying authored 
      This patch implements devices state save/restore before after kexec.

This patch together with features in kexec_jump patch can be used for
following:

- A simple hibernation implementation without ACPI support.  You can kexec a
  hibernating kernel, save the memory image of original system and shutdown
  the system.  When resuming, you restore the memory image of original system
  via ordinary kexec load then jump back.

- Kernel/system debug through making system snapshot.  You can make system
  snapshot, jump back, do some thing and make another system snapshot.

- Cooperative multi-kernel/system.  With kexec jump, you can switch between
  several kernels/systems quickly without boot process except the first time.
  This appears like swap a whole kernel/system out/in.

- A general method to call program in physical mode (paging turning
  off). This can be used to invoke BIOS code under Linux.

The following user-space tools can be used with kexec jump:

- kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches
  and the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL:
       source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2
       patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2
       binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10

- makedumpfile with patches are used as memory image saving tool, it
  can exclude free pages from original kernel memory image file. The
  patches and the precompiled makedumpfile can be download from the
  following URL:
       source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile-src_cvs_kh10.tar.bz2
       patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile-patches_cvs_kh10.tar.bz2
       binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile_cvs_kh10

- An initramfs image can be used as the root file system of kexeced
  kernel. An initramfs image built with "BuildRoot" can be downloaded
  from the following URL:
       initramfs image: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/initramfs/rootfs_cvs_kh10.gz


  All user space tools above are included in the initramfs image.

Usage example of simple hibernation:

1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected:

CONFIG_X86_32=y
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
CONFIG_PM=y
CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y

2. Build an initramfs image contains kexec-tool and makedumpfile, or
   download the pre-built initramfs image, called rootfs.gz in
   following text.

3. Prepare a partition to save memory image of original kernel, called
   hibernating partition in following text.

4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel A).

5. In the kernel A, load kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel B) with
   /sbin/kexec. The shell command line can be as follow:

   /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context /boot/bzImage --mem-min=0x100000
     --mem-max=0xffffff --initrd=rootfs.gz

6. Boot the kernel B with following shell command line:

   /sbin/kexec -e

7. The kernel B will boot as normal kexec. In kernel B the memory
   image of kernel A can be saved into hibernating partition as
   follow:

   jump_back_entry=`cat /proc/cmdline | tr ' ' '\n' | grep kexec_jump_back_entry | cut -d '='`
   echo $jump_back_entry > kexec_jump_back_entry
   cp /proc/vmcore dump.elf

   Then you can shutdown the machine as normal.

8. Boot kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel C). Use the rootfs.gz as
   root file system.

9. In kernel C, load the memory image of kernel A as follow:

   /sbin/kexec -l --args-none --entry=`cat kexec_jump_back_entry` dump.elf

10. Jump back to the kernel A as follow:

   /sbin/kexec -e

   Then, kernel A is resumed.

Implementation point:

To support jumping between two kernels, before jumping to (executing)
the new kernel and jumping back to the original kernel, the devices
are put into quiescent state, and the state of devices and CPU is
saved. After jumping back from kexeced kernel and jumping to the new
kernel, the state of devices and CPU are restored accordingly. The
devices/CPU state save/restore code of software suspend is called to
implement corresponding function.

Known issues:

- Because the segment number supported by sys_kexec_load is limited,
  hibernation image with many segments may not be load. This is
  planned to be eliminated by adding a new flag to sys_kexec_load to
  make a image can be loaded with multiple sys_kexec_load invoking.

Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.
