      cpu masks: optimize and clean up cpumask_of_cpu() · e56b3bc7
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Clean up and optimize cpumask_of_cpu(), by sharing all the zero words.
      
      Instead of stupidly generating all possible i=0...NR_CPUS 2^i patterns
      creating a huge array of constant bitmasks, realize that the zero words
      can be shared.
      
      In other words, on a 64-bit architecture, we only ever need 64 of these
      arrays - with a different bit set in one single world (with enough zero
      words around it so that we can create any bitmask by just offsetting in
      that big array). And then we just put enough zeroes around it that we
      can point every single cpumask to be one of those things.
      
      So when we have 4k CPU's, instead of having 4k arrays (of 4k bits each,
      with one bit set in each array - 2MB memory total), we have exactly 64
      arrays instead, each 8k bits in size (64kB total).
      
      And then we just point cpumask(n) to the right position (which we can
      calculate dynamically). Once we have the right arrays, getting
      "cpumask(n)" ends up being:
      
        static inline const cpumask_t *get_cpu_mask(unsigned int cpu)
        {
                const unsigned long *p = cpu_bit_bitmap[1 + cpu % BITS_PER_LONG];
                p -= cpu / BITS_PER_LONG;
                return (const cpumask_t *)p;
        }
      
      This brings other advantages and simplifications as well:
      
       - we are not wasting memory that is just filled with a single bit in
         various different places
      
       - we don't need all those games to re-create the arrays in some dense
         format, because they're already going to be dense enough.
      
      if we compile a kernel for up to 4k CPU's, "wasting" that 64kB of memory
      is a non-issue (especially since by doing this "overlapping" trick we
      probably get better cache behaviour anyway).
      
      [ mingo@elte.hu:
      
        Converted Linus's mails into a commit. See:

           http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/28/320
      
        Also applied a family filter - which also has the side-effect of leaving
        out the bits where Linus calls me an idio... Oh, never mind ;-)

      kexec jump: save/restore device state · 89081d17
      Huang Ying 提交于
      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.

      kexec jump · 3ab83521
      Huang Ying 提交于
      This patch provides an enhancement to kexec/kdump.  It implements the
      following features:
      
      - Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after
        kexec.
      
      - Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec.
      
      The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in
      physical mode (paging turning off).  This can be used to call BIOS code under
      Linux.
      
      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

             binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10
      
      Usage example of calling some physical mode code and return:
      
      1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected:
      
      CONFIG_X86_32=y
      CONFIG_KEXEC=y
      CONFIG_PM=y
      CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y
      
      2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one.
      
      3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode"
      
      4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1.
      
      5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command
         line can be as follow:
      
         /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode
      
      6. 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.

      x86 calgary: fix handling of devices that aren't behind the Calgary · 1956a96d
      Alexis Bruemmer 提交于
      The calgary code can give drivers addresses above 4GB which is very bad
      for hardware that is only 32bit DMA addressable.
      
      With this patch, the calgary code sets the global dma_ops to swiotlb or
      nommu properly, and the dma_ops of devices behind the Calgary/CalIOC2
      to calgary_dma_ops.  So the calgary code can handle devices safely that
      aren't behind the Calgary/CalIOC2.
