Add a flag to tell the PCI subsystem that kernel is shutting down in
preparation to kexec a kernel. Add code in PCI subsystem to use this flag
to clear Bus Master bit on PCI devices only in case of kexec reboot.
This fixes a power-off problem on Acer Aspire V5-573G and likely other
machines and avoids any other issues caused by clearing Bus Master bit on
PCI devices in normal shutdown path. The problem was introduced by
b566a22c23 ("PCI: disable Bus Master on PCI device shutdown").
This patch is based on discussion at

Now, vmap_area_list is exported as VMCOREINFO for makedumpfile to get
the start address of vmalloc region (vmalloc_start). The address which
contains vmalloc_start value is represented as below:
vmap_area_list.next - OFFSET(vmap_area.list) + OFFSET(vmap_area.va_start)
However, both OFFSET(vmap_area.va_start) and OFFSET(vmap_area.list)
aren't exported as VMCOREINFO.
So this patch exports them externally with small cleanup.

tAdd adds the values related to buddy system to vmcoreinfo data so that
makedumpfile (dump filtering command) can filter out all free pages with
the new logic.
It's faster than the current logic because it can distinguish free page
by analyzing page structure at the same time as filtering for other
unnecessary pages (e.g. anonymous page).
OTOH, the current logic has to trace free_list to distinguish free pages
while analyzing page structure to filter out other unnecessary pages.
The new logic uses the fact that buddy page is marked by _mapcount ==
PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE. But, _mapcount shares its memory with other
fields for SLAB/SLUB when PG_slab is set, so we need to check if PG_slab
is set or not before looking up _mapcount value. And we can get the
order of buddy system from private field. To sum it up, the values
below are required for this logic.
Required values:
- OFFSET(page._mapcount)
- OFFSET(page.private)
- NUMBER(PG_slab)
- NUMBER(PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE)
Changelog from v1 to v2:
1. remove SIZE(pageflags)
The new logic was changed after I sent v1 patch.
Accordingly, SIZE(pageflags) has been unnecessary for makedumpfile.
What's makedumpfile:
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.

We need to add another range in /proc/iomem like "Crash kernel low",

Try to reserve some under 4G if the normal "Crash kernel" is above 4G.

The current device suspend/resume phases during system-wide power
transitions appear to be insufficient for some platforms that want
to use the same callback routines for saving device states and
related operations during runtime suspend/resume as well as during
system suspend/resume. In principle, they could point their
.suspend_noirq() and .resume_noirq() to the same callback routines
as their .runtime_suspend() and .runtime_resume(), respectively,
but at least some of them require device interrupts to be enabled
while the code in those routines is running.
It also makes sense to have device suspend-resume callbacks that will
be executed with runtime PM disabled and with device interrupts
enabled in case someone needs to run some special code in that
context during system-wide power transitions.
Apart from this, .suspend_noirq() and .resume_noirq() were introduced
as a workaround for drivers using shared interrupts and failing to
prevent their interrupt handlers from accessing suspended hardware.
It appears to be better not to use them for other porposes, or we may
have to deal with some serious confusion (which seems to be happening
already).
For the above reasons, introduce new device suspend/resume phases,
"late suspend" and "early resume" (and analogously for hibernation)
whose callback will be executed with runtime PM disabled and with
device interrupts enabled and whose callback pointers generally may
point to runtime suspend/resume routines.

Currently it is possible to set the crash_size via the sysfs
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size even if no crash kernel memory has been
defined with the "crashkernel" parameter. In this case "crashk_res" is
not initialized and crashk_res.start = crashk_res.end = 0. Unfortunately
resource_size(&crashk_res) returns 1 in this case. This breaks the s390
implementation of crash_(un)map_reserved_pages().
To fix the problem the correct "old_size" is now calculated in
crash_shrink_memory(). "old_size is set to "0" if crashk_res is not
initialized. With this change crash_shrink_memory() will do nothing, when
"crashk_res" is not initialized. It will return "0" for "echo 0 >
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" and -EINVAL for "echo [not zero] >
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size".
In addition to that this patch also simplifies the "ret = -EINVAL" vs.

When shrinking crashkernel memory using /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size for

Example:

00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code
005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data

c0000000-cfffffff : Crash kernel
d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM
$ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
$ cat /proc/iomem

009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss
<<-- here is System RAM missing
d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM
One result of this bug is that the memory chunk can never be set offline
using memory hotplug. With this patch I insert a new "System RAM"
resource for the released memory. Then the upper example looks like the
following:
$ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
$ cat /proc/iomem
00000000-bfffffff : System RAM
00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code

This patch introduces a mechanism that allows architecture backends to
remove page tables for the crashkernel memory. This can protect the loaded
kdump kernel from being overwritten by broken kernel code. Two new
functions crash_map_reserved_pages() and crash_unmap_reserved_pages() are
added that can be implemented by architecture code. The
crash_map_reserved_pages() function is called before and
crash_unmap_reserved_pages() after the crashkernel segments are loaded. The
functions are also called in crash_shrink_memory() to create/remove page
tables when the crashkernel memory size is reduced.
To support architectures that have large pages this patch also introduces
a new define KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN. The crashkernel start and size must
always be aligned with KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN.

Currently the vmcoreinfo note is only initialized in case of kdump. On s390
it is possible to create kernel dumps with other dump mechanisms than kdump
(e.g. via hypervisor dump or stand-alone dump tools). For those dumps it
would also be desirable to include the vmcoreinfo data. To accomplish this,
with this patch the vmcoreinfo ELF note is always initialized, not only in
case of a (kdump) crash. On s390 we will add an ABI defined pointer at
a well known address to vmcoreinfo so that dump analysis tools are able to
find this information.
In particular on s390 we have a tool named zgetdump. With this tool it is
possible to convert dump formats on the fly using fuse. E.g. you can mount a
s390 stand-alone dump as ELF dump. When this is done, the tool finds the
vmcoreinfo in the stand-alone dump via the well known ABI defined address and
it creates the respective VMCOREINFO ELF note in the output ELF dump. This then
can be used e.g. by makedumpfile for dump filtering. No more need for a
vmlinux file with debug information.
So this will look like the following:
$ zgetdump --mount standalone.dump -f elf /mnt
$ ls /mnt
dump.elf
$ readelf -n /mnt/dump.elf
$ ...
VMCOREINFO 0x00000474 Unknown note type: (0x00000000)
$ makedumpfile -c -d 31 /mnt/dump.elf dump.kdump

Since suspend, resume and shutdown operations in struct sysdev_class
and struct sysdev_driver are not used any more, remove them. Also
drop sysdev_suspend(), sysdev_resume() and sysdev_shutdown() used
for executing those operations and modify all of their users
accordingly. This reduces kernel code size quite a bit and reduces
its complexity.

Device suspend/resume infrastructure is used not only by the suspend
and hibernate code in kernel/power, but also by APM, Xen and the
kexec jump feature. However, commit 40dc166cb5
(PM / Core: Introduce struct syscore_ops for core subsystems PM)
failed to add syscore_suspend() and syscore_resume() calls to that
code, which generally leads to breakage when the features in question
are used.
To fix this problem, add the missing syscore_suspend() and
syscore_resume() calls to arch/x86/kernel/apm_32.c, kernel/kexec.c
and drivers/xen/manage.c.

On ppc64 the crashkernel region almost always overlaps an area of firmware.
This works fine except when using the sysfs interface to reduce the kdump
region. If we free the firmware area we are guaranteed to crash.
Rename free_reserved_phys_range to crash_free_reserved_phys_range and make
it a weak function so we can override it.

This patch (as1241) renames a bunch of functions in the PM core.

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.

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(),

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

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

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.

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.

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.

An old makedumpfile (v1.2.4 or before) had assumed some values of page flags

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.

This patch set frees the restriction that makedumpfile users should install a
vmlinux file (including the debugging information) into each system.
makedumpfile command is the dump filtering feature for kdump. It creates a
small dumpfile by filtering unnecessary pages for the analysis. To
distinguish unnecessary pages, it needs a vmlinux file including the debugging
information. These days, the debugging package becomes a huge file, and it is
hard to install it into each system.
To solve the problem, kdump developers discussed it at lkml and kexec-ml. As
the result, we reached the conclusion that necessary information for dump
filtering (called "vmcoreinfo") should be embedded into the first kernel file
and it should be accessed through /proc/vmcore during the second kernel.
(http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.0/1806.html)
Dan Aloni created the patch set for the above implementation.

Currently the size of the per-cpu region reserved to save crash notes is
set by the per-architecture value MAX_NOTE_BYTES. Which in turn is
currently set to 1024 on all supported architectures.
While testing ia64 I recently discovered that this value is in fact too
small. The particular setup I was using actually needs 1172 bytes. This
lead to very tedious failure mode where the tail of one elf note would
overwrite the head of another if they ended up being alocated sequentially
by kmalloc, which was often the case.
It seems to me that a far better approach is to caclculate the size that
the area needs to be. This patch does just that.
If a simpler stop-gap patch for ia64 to be squeezed into 2.6.21(.X) is
needed then this should be as easy as making MAX_NOTE_BYTES larger in
arch/asm-ia64/kexec.h. Perhaps 2048 would be a good choice. However, I
think that the approach in this patch is a much more robust idea.

The only drawback with this approach is that s390 doesn't fully support

This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().
Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.
Eric's original description:
There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
because we give it special properties. Most significantly init
must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test
->pid == 1.
Introduce is_init to capture this case.
With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
process that has pid == 1.

With this patch, kdump uses the firmware soft-reset NMI for two purposes:
1) Initiate the kdump (take a crash dump) by issuing a soft-reset.
2) Break a CPU out of a deadlock condition that is detected during kdump
processing.
When a soft-reset is initiated each CPU will enter
system_reset_exception() and set its corresponding bit in the global
bit-array cpus_in_sr then call die(). When die() finds the CPU's bit set
in cpu_in_sr crash_kexec() is called to initiate a crash dump. The first
CPU to enter crash_kexec() is called the "crashing CPU". All other CPUs
are "secondary CPUs". The secondary CPU's pass through to
crash_kexec_secondary() and sleep. The crashing CPU waits for all CPUs
to enter via soft-reset then boots the kdump kernel (see
crash_soft_reset_check())
When the system crashes due to a panic or exception, crash_kexec() is
called by panic() or die(). The crashing CPU sends an IPI to all other
CPUs to notify them of the pending shutdown. If a CPU is in a deadlock
or hung state with interrupts disabled, the IPI will not be delivered.
The result being, that the kdump kernel is not booted. This problem is
solved with the use of a firmware generated soft-reset. After the
crashing_cpu has issued the IPI, it waits for 10 sec for all CPUs to
enter crash_ipi_callback(). A CPU signifies its entry to
crash_ipi_callback() by setting its corresponding bit in the
cpus_in_crash bit array. After 10 sec, if one or more CPUs have not set
their bit in cpus_in_crash we assume that the CPU(s) is deadlocked. The
operator is then prompted to generate a soft-reset to break the
deadlock. Each CPU enters the soft reset handler as described above.
Two conditions must be handled at this point:
1) The system crashed because the operator generated a soft-reset. See
2) The system had crashed before the soft-reset was generated ( in the
case of a Panic or oops).
The first CPU to enter crash_kexec() uses the state of the kexec_lock to
determine this state. If kexec_lock is already held then condition 2 is
true and crash_kexec_secondary() is called, else; this CPU is flagged as
the crashing CPU, the kexec_lock is acquired and crash_kexec() proceeds
as described above.
Each additional CPUs responding to the soft-reset will pass through
crash_kexec() to kexec_secondary(). All secondary CPUs call
crash_ipi_callback() readying them self's for the shutdown. When ready
they clear their bit in cpus_in_sr. The crashing CPU waits in
kexec_secondary() until all other CPUs have cleared their bits in
cpus_in_sr. The kexec kernel boot is then started.
