[C/R ARM][PATCH 3/3] c/r: ARM implementation of checkpoint/restart
Christoffer Dall
christofferdall at christofferdall.dk
Sun Mar 21 21:06:05 EDT 2010
Implements architecture specific requirements for checkpoint/restart on
ARM. The changes touch almost only c/r related code. Most of the work is
done in arch/arm/checkpoint.c, which implements checkpointing of the CPU
and necessary fields on the thread_info struct.
The ISA version (given by __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__) is checkpointed and verified
against the machine architecture on restart. If they differ, an error is
raised and restart aborted. It should be possible to restart on newer
architectures, but further investigation is warranted.
Regarding ThumbEE, the thumbee_state field on the thread_info is stored
in checkpoints when CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE and 0 is stored otherwise. If
a value different than 0 is checkpointed and CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE is not
set on the restore system, the restore is aborted. Feedback on this
implementation is very welcome.
We checkpoint whether the system is running with CONFIG_MMU or not and
require the same configuration for the system on which we restore the
process. It might be possible to allow something more fine-grained,
if it's worth the energy. Input on this item is also very welcome,
specifically from someone who knows the exact meaning of the end_brk
field.
Added support for syscall sys_checkpoint and sys_restart for ARM:
__NR_checkpoint 367
__NR_restart 368
