      xen: implement save/restore · 0e91398f
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      This patch implements Xen save/restore and migration.
      
      Saving is triggered via xenbus, which is polled in
      drivers/xen/manage.c.  When a suspend request comes in, the kernel
      prepares itself for saving by:
      
      1 - Freeze all processes.  This is primarily to prevent any
          partially-completed pagetable updates from confusing the suspend
          process.  If CONFIG_PREEMPT isn't defined, then this isn't necessary.
      
      2 - Suspend xenbus and other devices
      
      3 - Stop_machine, to make sure all the other vcpus are quiescent.  The
          Xen tools require the domain to run its save off vcpu0.
      
      4 - Within the stop_machine state, it pins any unpinned pgds (under
          construction or destruction), performs canonicalizes various other
          pieces of state (mostly converting mfns to pfns), and finally
      
      5 - Suspend the domain
      
      Restore reverses the steps used to save the domain, ending when all
      the frozen processes are thawed.

      xen: Enable console tty by default in domU if it's not a dummy · 9e124fe1
      Markus Armbruster 提交于
      Without console= arguments on the kernel command line, the first
      console to register becomes enabled and the preferred console (the one
      behind /dev/console).  This is normally tty (assuming
      CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is enabled, which it commonly is).
      
      This is okay as long tty is a useful console.  But unless we have the
      PV framebuffer, and it is enabled for this domain, tty0 in domU is
      merely a dummy.  In that case, we want the preferred console to be the
      Xen console hvc0, and we want it without having to fiddle with the
      kernel command line.  Commit b8c2d3df
      did that for us.
      
      Since we now have the PV framebuffer, we want to enable and prefer tty
      again, but only when PVFB is enabled.  But even then we still want to
      enable the Xen console as well.
      
      Problem: when tty registers, we can't yet know whether the PVFB is
      enabled.  By the time we can know (xenstore is up), the console setup
      game is over.
      
      Solution: enable console tty by default, but keep hvc as the preferred
      console.  Change the preferred console to tty when PVFB probes
      successfully, unless we've been given console kernel parameters.

      syncppp: Fix crashes. · 4951704b
      David S. Miller 提交于
      The syncppp layer wants a mid-level netdev private pointer.
      
      It was using netdev->priv but that only worked by accident,
      and thus this scheme was broken when the device private
      allocation strategy changed.
      
      Add a proper mid-layer private pointer for uses like this,
      update syncppp and all users, and remove the HDLC_PPP broken
      tag from drivers/net/wan/Kconfig

      Add new 'cond_resched_bkl()' helper function · c3921ab7
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      It acts exactly like a regular 'cond_resched()', but will not get
      optimized away when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set.
      
      Normal kernel code is already preemptable in the presense of
      CONFIG_PREEMPT, so cond_resched() is optimized away (see commit
      02b67cc3 "sched: do not do
      cond_resched() when CONFIG_PREEMPT").
      
      But when wanting to conditionally reschedule while holding a lock, you
      need to use "cond_sched_lock(lock)", and the new function is the BKL
      equivalent of that.
      
      Also make fs/locks.c use it.
