copy_to/from_user() returns the number of bytes remaining to be copied. It never returns a negative value. The correct return code is -EFAULT and not -EIO. All the callers check for non-zero returns so that's Ok, but the return code is passed to the user so we should fix this.

由 Pavan Naregundi 提交于
When crashkernel is not enabled, "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" OOPSes the kernel in crash_shrink_memory. This happens when crash_shrink_memory tries to release the 'crashk_res' resource which are not reserved. Also value of "/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" shows as 1, which should be 0. This patch fixes the OOPS in crash_shrink_memory and shows "/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" as 0 when crash kernel memory is not reserved.

crash_kexec gets called before kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_OOPS) if panic_on_oops is set, so the kernel log buffer is not stored for this case. This patch adds a KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC dump type which gets called when crash_kexec() is invoked. To avoid getting double dumps, the old KMSG_DUMP_PANIC is moved below crash_kexec(). The mtdoops driver is modified to handle KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC in the same way as a panic.

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.

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() Signed-off-by: NMagnus Damm <damm@igel.co.jp> Acked-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Acked-by: NLen Brown <lenb@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

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.

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.

A segmentation fault can occur in kimage_add_entry in kexec.c when loading a kernel image into memory. The fault occurs because a page is requested by calling kimage_alloc_page with gfp_mask GFP_KERNEL and the function may actually return a page with gfp_mask GFP_HIGHUSER. The high mem page is returned because it was swapped with the kernel page due to the kernel page being a page that will shortly be copied to. This patch ensures that kimage_alloc_page returns a page that was created with the correct gfp flags. I have verified the change and fixed the whitespace damage of the original patch.

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.

Call physical mode executable with following shell command line: /sbin/kexec -e Implementation point: To support jumping without reserving memory. One shadow backup page (source page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination page). When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped. Before jumping to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped too. C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between kernel and called code. A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back. Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

The extended crashkernel syntax is a little confusing in the way it handles ranges. eg: crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M Means if the machine has between 512M and 2G of memory the crash region should be 64M, and if the machine has 2G of memory the region should be 64M. Only if the machine has more than 2G memory will 128M be allocated. Although that semantic is correct, it is somewhat baffling. Instead I propose that the end of the range means the first address past the end of the range, ie: 512M up to but not including 2G.

Add some values of page flags to the vmcoreinfo data. The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile. An old makedumpfile (v1.2.4 or before) had assumed some values of page flags internally, and this implementation could not follow the change of these values. For example, Christoph Lameter is changing these values by the follwing patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/29/463 So a new makedumpfile (v1.2.5) came to need these values and I created this patch to let the kernel output them.

This patchset is for the vmcoreinfo data. The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile. This patch: VMCOREINFO_SIZE() should be renamed VMCOREINFO_STRUCT_SIZE() since it's always returning the size of the struct with a given name. This change would allow VMCOREINFO_TYPEDEF_SIZE() to simply become VMCOREINFO_SIZE() since it need not be used exclusively for typedefs.

This patch adds the array length of "free_area.free_list" to the vmcoreinfo data so that makedumpfile (dump filtering command) can exclude all free pages in linux-2.6.24. makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile by excluding unnecessary pages for the analysis. To distinguish unnecessary pages, makedumpfile gets the vmcoreinfo data which has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. In 2.6.24-rc1 or later, the free_area.free_list is an array which has one list for each migrate types instead of a single list. makedumpfile needs the array length of "free_area.free_list" and the vmcoreinfo data should contain it.

This patch adds a extended crashkernel syntax that makes the value of reserved system RAM dependent on the system RAM itself: crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...][@offset] range=start-[end] For example: crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M The motivation comes from distributors that configure their crashkernel command line automatically with some configuration tool (YaST, you know ;)). Of course that tool knows the value of System RAM, but if the user removes RAM, then the system becomes unbootable or at least unusable and error handling is very difficult. This series implements this change for i386, x86_64, ia64, ppc64 and sh. That should be all platforms that support kdump in current mainline. I tested all platforms except sh due to the lack of a sh processor. This patch: This is the generic part of the patch. It adds a parse_crashkernel() function in kernel/kexec.c that is called by the architecture specific code that actually reserves the memory. That function takes the whole command line and looks itself for "crashkernel=" in it. If there are multiple occurrences, then the last one is taken. The advantage is that if you have a bootloader like lilo or elilo which allows you to append a command line parameter but not to remove one (like in GRUB), then you can add another crashkernel value for testing at the boot command line and this one overwrites the command line in the configuration then.

is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.
