This patch introduces a user space interface for swsusp. The interface is based on a special character device, called the snapshot device, that allows user space processes to perform suspend and resume-related operations with the help of some ioctls and the read()/write() functions. Additionally it allows these processes to allocate free swap pages from a selected swap partition, called the resume partition, so that they know which sectors of the resume partition are available to them. The interface uses the same low-level system memory snapshot-handling functions that are used by the built-it swap-writing/reading code of swsusp. The interface documentation is included in the patch. The patch assumes that the major and minor numbers of the snapshot device will be 10 (ie. misc device) and 231, the registration of which has already been requested. Signed-off-by:

Update suspend-to-RAM documentation with new machines, and makes message when processes can't be stopped little clearer. (In one case, waiting longer actually did help). From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl> Warn in the documentation that data may be lost if there are some filesystems mounted from USB devices before suspend.

Rafael J. Wysocki authored
Introduce the low level interface that can be used for handling the snapshot of the system memory by the in-kernel swap-writing/reading code of swsusp and the userland interface code (to be introduced shortly). Also change the way in which swsusp records the allocated swap pages and, consequently, simplifies the in-kernel swap-writing/reading code (this is necessary for the userland interface too). To this end, it introduces two helper functions in mm/swapfile.c, so that the swsusp code does not refer directly to the swap internals. Signed-off-by:

Don't create "online" control file for BSP (i386/x86_64) since its not removable. We originally added this to support ppc64 if the kernel has support but BIOS indicated no offline support, we just didnt create online files for them. We used the same method in ia64 as well, if we have a cpu taking platform interrupts but cannot be removed if those interrupts cannot be re-targeted to another cpu. Signed-off-by:

Gcc reserves %ebx when compiling position-independent-code on i386. This means, the _syscallX() macros in include/asm-i386/unistd.h will not compile.

_raw_spin_lock_flags() is entered with interrupts disabled. If it cannot obtain a spinlock, it checks the flags that were passed and re-enables interrupts before spinning if that's how the flags are set. When the spinlock might be available, it disables interrupts (even if they are already disabled) before trying to get the lock. Change that so interrupts are only disabled if they have been enabled. This costs nine bytes of duplicated spinloop code. Fastpath before patch: jle <keep looping> not-taken conditional jump cli disable interrupts jmp <try for lock> unconditional jump Fastpath after patch, if interrupts were not enabled: jg <try for lock> taken conditional branch Signed-off-by:Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com> Acked-by:

With cpu_gdt_descr having been converted to per-CPU data, the old object (in head.S) no longer needs to reserve space for each CPU's instance. With cpu_gdt_table not being used for CPU 0 anymore, it doesn't seem to need page alignment (or if in fact there is a need for it to retain that alignment, the whole object should go into .data.page_align).

This is useful for Xen > because it will need only to redefine only the macro to a hypervisor call. I am of the opinion that the above changeset is incomplete, i.e. it missed converting some previous uses of user_mode to user_mode_vm. While most of them could be considered just cosmetical, at least the one in die_nmi doesn't appear to be. Signed-off-by:

Registering a callback handler through register_die_notifier() is obviously primarily intended for use by modules. However, the way these currently get called it is basically impossible for them to actually be used by modules, as there is, on non-PAE configurationes, a good chance (the larger the module, the better) for the system to crash as a result. This is because the callback gets invoked (a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and (b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen, since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs, potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences. Besides the modular aspect, similar problems would even arise for in- kernel consumers of the API if they touched ioremap()ed or vmalloc()ed memory inside their handlers. Signed-off-by: -

The history is that -mm kernels do not work for me for a few months already. The things started from crashing somewhere after starting init, and for the last month - no boot at all, just "Uncompressing... OK, booting kernel", and silence. Early console didn't work too. With the latest releases this degraded into an infinite stream of the "Unknown interrupt or fault" messages. So today my patience ran out and I started to think how can I collect at least some info for the bug-report. Attached is the patch that allows to gather some valueable debug info on the problem by making an early console more useable. I can't properly test the patch, as the kernel still doesn't boot, so I'll explain it in details in a hope someone else can justify the intrusive changes. arch_hooks.h: added prototypes for setup_early_printk() and early_printk(). setup.c: killed wrong setup_early_printk() prototype. Moved setup_early_printk() a bit earlier, as it was not "early enough" to cover the bug I was fighting with. early_printk.c: made it to start printing from the bottom of the screen, otherwise the messages interfere with the ones of the boot-loader, so you can't read them.

In some code I am developing I had occasion to change the type of a variable. This made the value put_user was putting to user space wrong. But the code continued to build cleanly without errors. Introducing a temporary fixes this problem and at least with gcc-3.3.5 does not cause gcc any problems with optimizing out the temporary. gcc-4.x using SSA internally ought to be even better at optimizing out temporaries, so I don't expect a temporary to become a problem. Especially because in all correct cases the types on both sides of the assignment to the temporary are the same. Signed-off-by:

Implement SMP alternatives, i.e. switching at runtime between different code versions for UP and SMP. The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP. The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug. With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number of CPUs goes up to 2. Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released afterwards. The changes in detail: * The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file, the SMP alternatives code is added there. * The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel: .smp_altinstructions like .altinstructions, also contains a list of alt_instr structs. .smp_altinstr_replacement like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to save original instruction before replaving it. .smp_locks list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed out on UP. The first two are used to replace more complex instruction sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores. It would be possible to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling them as special case the table sizes become much smaller. * The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they can be free if they are not needed. * Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.
