[PATCH -mm 1/2] kexec jump -v12: kexec jump

Sun Jul 6 23:25:22 EDT 2008
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.
ChangeLog:
v12:
- Add a Kconfig option KEXEC_JUMP to resolve the dependency problem.
- Merge kexec_jump() into kernel_kexec().
v10:
- Device state save/restore related code is split into another patch
because it depends on devices hibernation/restore callback and prone
to be changed.
- C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between
kernel and called code.
- Code cleanup: CPU state save/restore code goes in relocate_kernel().
v9:
- pm_mutex is locked during kexec jump to avoid potential conflict
between kexec jump and suspend/resume/hibernation.
- Split /dev/oldmem writing and kimagecore patch out, keep only the
core function.
v8:
- Split kexec jump patchset from kexec based hibernation patchset.
- Merge various KEXEC_PRESERVE_* flags into one KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT
because there is no need for such subtle control.
- Delete variable argument based "kernel to kernel" communication
mechanism from basic kexec jump patchset.
v7:
- Refactor kexec jump to be a command driven programming model.
- Use kexec_lock to do synchronization.
v6:
- Refactor kexec jump to be a general facility to call real mode code.
v5:
- A flag (KEXEC_JUMP_BACK) is added to indicate the loaded kernel
image is used for jumping back. The reboot command for jumping back
is removed. This interface is more stable (proposed by Eric
Biederman).
- NX bit handling support for kexec is added.
- Merge machine_kexec and machine_kexec_jump, remove NO_RET attribute
from machine_kexec.
- Passing jump back entry to kexeced kernel via kernel command line
(parsed by user space tool via /proc/cmdline instead of
kernel). Original corresponding boot parameter and sysfs code is
removed.
v4:
- Two reboot command are merged back to one because the underlying
implementation is same.
- Jumping without reserving memory is implemented. As a side effect,
two direction jumping is implemented.
- A jump back protocol is defined and documented. The original kernel
and kexeced kernel are more independent from each other.
- The CPU state save/restore code are merged into relocate_kernel.S.
v3:
- The reboot command LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_KJUMP is split into to two
reboot command to reflect the different function.
- Document is added for added kernel parameters.
- /sys/kernel/kexec_jump_buf_pfn is made writable, it is used for
memory image restoring.
- Console restoring after jumping back is implemented.
v2:
- The kexec jump implementation is put into the kexec/kdump framework
instead of software suspend framework. The device and CPU state
save/restore code of software suspend is called when needed.
- The same code path is used for both kexec a new kernel and jump back
to original kernel.
Now, only the i386 architecture is supported. The patchset is based on
Linux kernel 2.6.26-rc8-mm1, and has been tested on IBM T42.
