The dm9000 driver reads the chip's MAC address from the attached EEPROM. When
no EEPROM is present, or when the MAC address is invalid, it falls back to
reading the address from the chip.
This patch lets platform code set the desired MAC address through platform
data.

This patch changes the static MIN_PARTIAL to a dynamic per-cache ->min_partial
value that is calculated from object size. The bigger the object size, the more
pages we keep on the partial list.
I tested SLAB, SLUB, and SLUB with this patch on Jens Axboe's 'netio' example
script of the fio benchmarking tool. The script stresses the networking
subsystem which should also give a fairly good beating of kmalloc() et al.
To run the test yourself, first clone the fio repository:
git clone git://git.kernel.dk/fio.git
and then run the following command n times on your machine:
time ./fio examples/netio
The results on my 2-way 64-bit x86 machine are as follows:
[ the minimum, maximum, and average are captured from 50 individual runs ]
real time (seconds)
min max avg sd
SLAB 22.76 23.38 22.98 0.17
SLUB 22.80 25.78 23.46 0.72
SLUB (dynamic) 22.74 23.54 23.00 0.20
sys time (seconds)
min max avg sd
SLAB 6.90 8.28 7.70 0.28
SLUB 7.42 16.95 8.89 2.28
SLUB (dynamic) 7.17 8.64 7.73 0.29
user time (seconds)
min max avg sd
SLAB 36.89 38.11 37.50 0.29
SLUB 30.85 37.99 37.06 1.67
SLUB (dynamic) 36.75 38.07 37.59 0.32
As you can see from the above numbers, this patch brings SLUB to the same level
as SLAB for this particular workload fixing a ~2% regression. I'd expect this
change to help similar workloads that allocate a lot of objects that are close
to the size of a page.

Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed:
"The other problem that affects all qdiscs supporting actions is
TC_ACT_QUEUED/TC_ACT_STOLEN getting mapped to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS
even though the packet is not queued, corrupting upper qdiscs'
qlen counters."
and later explained:
"The reason why it translates it at all seems to be to not increase
the drops counter. Within a single qdisc this could be avoided by
other means easily, upper qdiscs would still increase the counter
when we return anything besides NET_XMIT_SUCCESS though.
This means we need a new NET_XMIT return value to indicate this to
the upper qdiscs. So I'd suggest to introduce NET_XMIT_STOLEN,
return that to upper qdiscs and translate it to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS
in dev_queue_xmit, similar to NET_XMIT_BYPASS."
David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> noticed:
"Maybe these NET_XMIT_* values being passed around should be a set of
bits. They could be composed of base meanings, combined with specific
attributes.
So you could say "NET_XMIT_DROP | __NET_XMIT_NO_DROP_COUNT"
The attributes get masked out by the top-level ->enqueue() caller,
such that the base meanings are the only thing that make their
way up into the stack. If it's only about communication within the
qdisc tree, let's simply code it that way."
This patch is trying to realize these ideas.

My commit 2b2a1ff64a introduced a regression
(sorry about that) for the odd case of exit_signal=0 (e.g. clone_flags=0).
This is not a normal use, but it's used by a case in the glibc test suite.
Dying with exit_signal=0 sends no signal, but it's supposed to wake up a
parent's blocked wait*() calls (unlike the delayed_group_leader case).
This fixes tracehook_notify_death() and its caller to distinguish a
"signal 0" wakeup from the delayed_group_leader case (with no wakeup).

For anonymous pages without a swap cache backing the check in
page_remove_rmap for the physical dirty bit in page_remove_rmap is
unnecessary. The instructions that are used to check and reset the dirty
bit are expensive. Removing the check noticably speeds up process exit.
In addition the clearing of the dirty bit in __SetPageUptodate is
pointless as well. With these two changes there is no storage key
operation for an anonymous page anymore if it does not hit the swap
space.
The micro benchmark which repeatedly executes an empty shell script
gets about 5% faster.

When we traverse the graph, either forwards or backwards, we
are interested in whether a certain property exists somewhere
in a node reachable in the graph.
Therefore it is never necessary to traverse through a node more
than once to get a correct answer to the given query.
Take advantage of this property using a global ID counter so that we
need not clear all the markers in all the lock_class entries before
doing a traversal. A new ID is choosen when we start to traverse, and
we continue through a lock_class only if it's ID hasn't been marked
with the new value yet.
This short-circuiting is essential especially for high CPU count
systems. The scheduler has a runqueue per cpu, and needs to take
two runqueue locks at a time, which leads to long chains of
backwards and forwards subgraphs from these runqueue lock nodes.
Without the short-circuit implemented here, a graph traversal on
a runqueue lock can take up to (1 << (N - 1)) checks on a system
with N cpus.
For anything more than 16 cpus or so, lockdep will eventually bring
the machine to a complete standstill.

Found an interactivity problem on a quad core test-system - simple
CPU loops would occasionally delay the system un an unacceptable way.
After much debugging with Peter Zijlstra it turned out that the problem
is caused by the string of sched_clock() changes - they caused the CPU
clock to jump backwards a bit - which confuses the scheduler arithmetics.
(which is unsigned for performance reasons)
So revert:
# c300ba2: sched_clock: and multiplier for TSC to gtod drift
# c0c8773: sched_clock: only update deltas with local reads.
# af52a90: sched_clock: stop maximum check on NO HZ
# f7cce27: sched_clock: widen the max and min time
This solves the interactivity problems.

When we read some part of a file through pagecache, if there is a
pagecache of corresponding index but this page is not uptodate, read IO
is issued and this page will be uptodate.
I think this is good for pagesize == blocksize environment but there is
room for improvement on pagesize != blocksize environment. Because in
this case a page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not
uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate.
So I suggest that when all buffers which correspond to a part of a file
that we want to read are uptodate, use this pagecache and copy data from
this pagecache to user buffer even if a page is not uptodate. This can
reduce read IO and improve system throughput.
I wrote a benchmark program and got result number with this program.
This benchmark do:
1: mount and open a test file.
2: create a 512MB file.
3: close a file and umount.
4: mount and again open a test file.
5: pwrite randomly 300000 times on a test file. offset is aligned
by IO size(1024bytes).
6: measure time of preading randomly 100000 times on a test file.
The result was:
2.6.26
330 sec
2.6.26-patched
226 sec
Arch:i386
Filesystem:ext3
Blocksize:1024 bytes
Memory: 1GB
On ext3/4, a file is written through buffer/block. So random read/write
mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads are optimized
with this patch under pagesize != blocksize environment. This test result
showed this.
The benchmark program is as follows:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <time.h>

With KVM/GFP/XPMEM there isn't just the primary CPU MMU pointing to pages.
There are secondary MMUs (with secondary sptes and secondary tlbs) too.
sptes in the kvm case are shadow pagetables, but when I say spte in
mmu-notifier context, I mean "secondary pte". In GRU case there's no
actual secondary pte and there's only a secondary tlb because the GRU
secondary MMU has no knowledge about sptes and every secondary tlb miss
event in the MMU always generates a page fault that has to be resolved by
the CPU (this is not the case of KVM where the a secondary tlb miss will
walk sptes in hardware and it will refill the secondary tlb transparently
to software if the corresponding spte is present). The same way
zap_page_range has to invalidate the pte before freeing the page, the spte
(and secondary tlb) must also be invalidated before any page is freed and
reused.
Currently we take a page_count pin on every page mapped by sptes, but that
means the pages can't be swapped whenever they're mapped by any spte
because they're part of the guest working set. Furthermore a spte unmap
event can immediately lead to a page to be freed when the pin is released
(so requiring the same complex and relatively slow tlb_gather smp safe
logic we have in zap_page_range and that can be avoided completely if the
spte unmap event doesn't require an unpin of the page previously mapped in
the secondary MMU).
The mmu notifiers allow kvm/GRU/XPMEM to attach to the tsk->mm and know
when the VM is swapping or freeing or doing anything on the primary MMU so
that the secondary MMU code can drop sptes before the pages are freed,
avoiding all page pinning and allowing 100% reliable swapping of guest
physical address space. Furthermore it avoids the code that teardown the
mappings of the secondary MMU, to implement a logic like tlb_gather in
zap_page_range that would require many IPI to flush other cpu tlbs, for
each fixed number of spte unmapped.
To make an example: if what happens on the primary MMU is a protection
downgrade (from writeable to wrprotect) the secondary MMU mappings will be
invalidated, and the next secondary-mmu-page-fault will call
get_user_pages and trigger a do_wp_page through get_user_pages if it
called get_user_pages with write=1, and it'll re-establishing an updated
spte or secondary-tlb-mapping on the copied page. Or it will setup a
readonly spte or readonly tlb mapping if it's a guest-read, if it calls
get_user_pages with write=0. This is just an example.
This allows to map any page pointed by any pte (and in turn visible in the
primary CPU MMU), into a secondary MMU (be it a pure tlb like GRU, or an
full MMU with both sptes and secondary-tlb like the shadow-pagetable layer
with kvm), or a remote DMA in software like XPMEM (hence needing of
schedule in XPMEM code to send the invalidate to the remote node, while no
need to schedule in kvm/gru as it's an immediate event like invalidating
primary-mmu pte).
At least for KVM without this patch it's impossible to swap guests
reliably. And having this feature and removing the page pin allows
several other optimizations that simplify life considerably.
Dependencies:
1) mm_take_all_locks() to register the mmu notifier when the whole VM
isn't doing anything with "mm". This allows mmu notifier users to keep
track if the VM is in the middle of the invalidate_range_begin/end
critical section with an atomic counter incraese in range_begin and
decreased in range_end. No secondary MMU page fault is allowed to map
any spte or secondary tlb reference, while the VM is in the middle of
range_begin/end as any page returned by get_user_pages in that critical
section could later immediately be freed without any further
->invalidate_page notification (invalidate_range_begin/end works on
ranges and ->invalidate_page isn't called immediately before freeing
the page). To stop all page freeing and pagetable overwrites the
mmap_sem must be taken in write mode and all other anon_vma/i_mmap
locks must be taken too.
2) It'd be a waste to add branches in the VM if nobody could possibly
run KVM/GRU/XPMEM on the kernel, so mmu notifiers will only enabled if
CONFIG_KVM=m/y. In the current kernel kvm won't yet take advantage of
mmu notifiers, but this already allows to compile a KVM external module
against a kernel with mmu notifiers enabled and from the next pull from
kvm.git we'll start using them. And GRU/XPMEM will also be able to
continue the development by enabling KVM=m in their config, until they
submit all GRU/XPMEM GPLv2 code to the mainline kernel. Then they can
also enable MMU_NOTIFIERS in the same way KVM does it (even if KVM=n).
This guarantees nobody selects MMU_NOTIFIER=y if KVM and GRU and XPMEM
are all =n.
The mmu_notifier_register call can fail because mm_take_all_locks may be
interrupted by a signal and return -EINTR. Because mmu_notifier_reigster
is used when a driver startup, a failure can be gracefully handled. Here
an example of the change applied to kvm to register the mmu notifiers.
Usually when a driver startups other allocations are required anyway and
-ENOMEM failure paths exists already.
struct kvm *kvm_arch_create_vm(void)
{
struct kvm *kvm = kzalloc(sizeof(struct kvm), GFP_KERNEL);
+ int err;
if (!kvm)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kvm->arch.active_mmu_pages);
+ kvm->arch.mmu_notifier.ops = &kvm_mmu_notifier_ops;
+ err = mmu_notifier_register(&kvm->arch.mmu_notifier, current->mm);
+ if (err) {
+ kfree(kvm);
+ return ERR_PTR(err);
+ }
+
return kvm;
}
mmu_notifier_unregister returns void and it's reliable.
The patch also adds a few needed but missing includes that would prevent
kernel to compile after these changes on non-x86 archs (x86 didn't need
them by luck).

mmu notifiers to register into the mm at any time with the guarantee that
no mmu operation is in progress on the mm.
This operation locks against the VM for all pte/vma/mm related operations
that could ever happen on a certain mm. This includes vmtruncate,
try_to_unmap, and all page faults.
The caller must take the mmap_sem in write mode before calling
mm_take_all_locks(). The caller isn't allowed to release the mmap_sem
until mm_drop_all_locks() returns.
mmap_sem in write mode is required in order to block all operations that
could modify pagetables and free pages without need of altering the vma
layout (for example populate_range() with nonlinear vmas). It's also
needed in write mode to avoid new anon_vmas to be associated with existing
vmas.
A single task can't take more than one mm_take_all_locks() in a row or it
would deadlock.
mm_take_all_locks() and mm_drop_all_locks are expensive operations that
may have to take thousand of locks.
mm_take_all_locks() can fail if it's interrupted by signals.
When mmu_notifier_register returns, we must be sure that the driver is
notified if some task is in the middle of a vmtruncate for the 'mm' where
the mmu notifier was registered (mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end
is run around the vmtruncation but mmu_notifier_register can run after
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and before
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end). Same problem for rmap paths. And
we've to remove page pinning to avoid replicating the tlb_gather logic
inside KVM (and GRU doesn't work well with page pinning regardless of
needing tlb_gather), so without mm_take_all_locks when vmtruncate frees
the page, kvm would have no way to notice that it mapped into sptes a page
that is going into the freelist without a chance of any further
mmu_notifier notification.

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).

In a sense, that's the heart of the series. It's based on the following
property of the trees we are actually asked to add: they can be split into
stem that is already covered by registered trees and crown that is entirely
new. IOW, if a/b and a/c/d are introduced by our tree, then a/c is also
introduced by it.
That allows to associate tree and table entry with each node in the union;
while directory nodes might be covered by many trees, only one will cover
the node by its crown. And that will allow much saner logics for /proc/sys
in the next patches. This patch introduces the data structures needed to
keep track of that.
When adding a sysctl table, we find a "parent" one. Which is to say,
find the deepest node on its stem that already is present in one of the
tables from our table set or its ancestor sets. That table will be our
parent and that node in it - attachment point. Add our table to list
anchored in parent, have it refer the parent and contents of attachment
point. Also remember where its crown lives.

Refcount the sucker; instead of freeing it by the end of unregistration
just drop the refcount and free only when it hits zero. Make sure that
we _always_ make ->unregistering non-NULL in start_unregistering().
That allows anybody to get a reference to such puppy, preventing its
freeing and reuse. It does *not* block unregistration. Anybody who
holds such a reference can
* try to grab a "use" reference (ctl_head_grab()); that will
succeeds if and only if it hadn't entered unregistration yet. If it
succeeds, we can use it in all normal ways until we release the "use"
reference (with ctl_head_finish()). Note that this relies on having
->unregistering become non-NULL in all cases when one starts to unregister
the sucker.
* keep pointers to ctl_table entries; they *can* be freed if
the entire thing is unregistered. However, if ctl_head_grab() succeeds,
we know that unregistration had not happened (and will not happen until
ctl_head_finish()) and such pointers can be used safely.
IOW, now we can have inodes under /proc/sys keep references to ctl_table
entries, protecting them with references to ctl_table_header and
grabbing the latter for the duration of operations that require access
to ctl_table. That won't cause deadlocks, since unregistration will not
be stopped by mere keeping a reference to ctl_table_header.

the host's debugfs root with information about the card.
At the moment, only a single file is added to the card directory for
all cards: "state". It reflects the "state" field in struct mmc_card,
indicating whether the card is present, readonly, etc.
For MMC and SD cards (not SDIO), another file is added: "status".
Reading this file will ask the card about its current status and
return it. This can be useful if the card just refuses to respond to
any commands, which might indicate that the card state is not what the
MMC core thinks it is (due to a missing stop command, for example.)

When CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is set, create a few files under /sys/kernel/debug
containing information about an mmc host's internal state. Currently,
just a single file is created, "ios", which contains information about
the current operating parameters for the bus (clock speed, bus width,
etc.)
Host drivers can add additional files and directories under the host's
root directory by passing the debugfs_root field in struct mmc_host as
the 'parent' parameter to debugfs_create_*.

for a debugger to be able to wrangle a task that's possibly running,
without interrupting its syscalls in progress.
Each arch should define TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, and in their entry.S code treat
it much like TIF_SIGPENDING. That is, it causes you to take the slow path
when returning to user mode, where you get the full user-mode state
accessible as for signal handling or ptrace. The arch code should check
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME after handling TIF_SIGPENDING. When it's set, clear it
and then call tracehook_notify_resume().
In future, tracing code will call set_notify_resume() when it wants to get
a callback in tracehook_notify_resume().

This moves the ptrace-related logic from release_task into tracehook.h and
ptrace.h inlines. It provides clean hooks both before and after locking
tasklist_lock, for future tracing logic to do more cleanup without the
lock.
This also changes release_task() itself in the rare "zap_leader" case to
set the leader to EXIT_DEAD before iterating. This maintains the
invariant that release_task() only ever handles a task in EXIT_DEAD. This
is a common-sense invariant that is already always true except in this one
arcane case of zombie leader whose parent ignores SIGCHLD.
This change is harmless and only costs one store in this one rare case.
It keeps the expected state more consisently sane, which is nicer when
debugging weirdness in release_task(). It also lets some future code in
the tracehook entry points rely on this invariant for bookkeeping.

This patch series introduces the "tracehook" interface layer of inlines in
<linux/tracehook.h>. There are more details in the log entry for patch
01/23 and in the header file comments inside that patch. Most of these
changes move code around with little or no change, and they should not
break anything or change any behavior.
This sets a new standard for uniform arch support to enable clean
arch-independent implementations of new debugging and tracing stuff,
denoted by CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. Patch 20/23 adds that symbol to
arch/Kconfig, with comments listing everything an arch has to do before
setting "select HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK". These are elaborted a bit at:
http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace/arch/HowTo
The new inlines that arch code must define or call have detailed kerneldoc
comments in the generic header files that say what is required.
No arch is obligated to do any work, and no arch's build should be broken
by these changes. There are several steps that each arch should take so
it can set HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK. Most of these are simple. Providing this
support will let new things people add for doing debugging and tracing of
user-level threads "just work" for your arch in the future. For an arch
that does not provide HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK, some new options for such
features will not be available for config.
I have done some arch work and will submit this to the arch maintainers
after the generic tracehook series settles in. For now, that work is
available in my GIT repositories, and in patch and mbox-of-patches form at
http://people.redhat.com/roland/utrace/2.6-current/
This paves the way for my "utrace" work, to be submitted later. But it is
not innately tied to that. I hope that the tracehook series can go in
soon regardless of what eventually does or doesn't go on top of it. For
anyone implementing any kind of new tracing/debugging plan, or just
understanding all the context of the existing ptrace implementation,
having tracehook.h makes things much easier to find and understand.
This patch:
This adds the new kernel-internal header file <linux/tracehook.h>. This
is not yet used at all. The comments in the header introduce what the
following series of patches is about.
The aim is to formalize and consolidate all the places that the core
kernel code and the arch code now ties into the ptrace implementation.
These patches mostly don't cause any functional change. They just move
the details of ptrace logic out of core code into tracehook.h inlines,
where they are mostly compiled away to the same as before. All that
changes is that everything is thoroughly documented and any future
reworking of ptrace, or addition of something new, would not have to touch
core code all over, just change the tracehook.h inlines.
The new linux/ptrace.h inlines are used by the following patches in the
new tracehook_*() inlines. Using these helpers for the ptrace event stops
makes it simple to change or disable the old ptrace implementation of
these stops conditionally later.

If we can be sure that elevating the page_count on a pagecache page will
pin it, we can speculatively run this operation, and subsequently check to
see if we hit the right page rather than relying on holding a lock or
otherwise pinning a reference to the page.
This can be done if get_page/put_page behaves consistently throughout the
whole tree (ie. if we "get" the page after it has been used for something
else, we must be able to free it with a put_page).
Actually, there is a period where the count behaves differently: when the
page is free or if it is a constituent page of a compound page. We need
an atomic_inc_not_zero operation to ensure we don't try to grab the page
in either case.
This patch introduces the core locking protocol to the pagecache (ie.
adds page_cache_get_speculative, and tweaks some update-side code to make
it work).
Thanks to Hugh for pointing out an improvement to the algorithm setting
page_count to zero when we have control of all references, in order to
hold off speculative getters.

Introduce a new get_user_pages_fast mm API, which is basically a
get_user_pages with a less general API (but still tends to be suited to
the common case):
- task and mm are always current and current->mm
- force is always 0
- pages is always non-NULL
- don't pass back vmas
This restricted API can be implemented in a much more scalable way on many
architectures when the ptes are present, by walking the page tables
locklessly (no mmap_sem or page table locks). When the ptes are not
populated, get_user_pages_fast() could be slower.
This is implemented locklessly on x86, and used in some key direct IO call
sites, in later patches, which provides nearly 10% performance improvement
on a threaded database workload.
Lots of other code could use this too, depending on use cases (eg. grep
drivers/). And it might inspire some new and clever ways to use it.

This is required by CPU hotplug, because early users have to register

interface with buffer-only channels, which needs to register such a
notifier, to be usable in early code. This in turn is used by kmemtrace.

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

- 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.

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
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
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.

Some controllers (Jmicron, for instance) can report temporal failure
condition during power-on. It is desirable to account for this using a
return value of "set_param" device method. The return value can also be
handy to distinguish between supported and unsupported device parameters
in run time.

Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:
This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).
I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated.
A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.
If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.
The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.
The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.
This patch:
dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.
Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.

If an arch doesn't define cpumask_of_cpu_map, create a generic
statically-initialized one for them. This allows removal of the buggy
cpumask_of_cpu() macro (&cpumask_of_cpu() gives address of
out-of-scope var).
An arch with NR_CPUS of 4096 probably wants to allocate this itself
based on the actual number of CPUs, since otherwise they're using 2MB
of rodata (1024 cpus means 128k). That's what
CONFIG_HAVE_CPUMASK_OF_CPU_MAP is for (only x86/64 does so at the
moment).
In future as we support more CPUs, we'll need to resort to a
get_cpu_map()/put_cpu_map() allocation scheme.
