docs: power: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
Convert the PM documents to ReST, in order to allow them to
build with Sphinx.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and indentation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

If not, visit the following web page: +http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ +You have read Documentation/power/swsusp.rst and understand it. +You did read Documentation/admin-guide/initrd.rst and know how an initrd works. +You know how to create or how to modify an initrd. + +Now your system is properly set up, your disk is encrypted except for +the swap device(s) and the boot partition which may contain a mini +system for crypto setup and/or rescue purposes. You may even have +an initrd that does your current crypto setup already. + +At this point you want to encrypt your swap, too. Still you want to +be able to suspend using swsusp. This, however, means that you +have to be able to either enter a passphrase or that you read +the key(s) from an external device like a pcmcia flash disk +or an usb stick prior to resume. So you need an initrd, that sets +up dm-crypt and then asks swsusp to resume from the encrypted +swap device. + +The most important thing is that you set up dm-crypt in such +a way that the swap device you suspend to/resume from has +always the same major/minor within the initrd as well as +within your running system. The easiest way to achieve this is +to always set up this swap device first with dmsetup, so that +it will always look like the following:: + + brw------- 1 root root 254, 0 Jul 28 13:37 /dev/mapper/swap0 + +Now set up your kernel to use /dev/mapper/swap0 as the default +resume partition, so your kernel .config contains:: + + CONFIG_PM_STD_PARTITION="/dev/mapper/swap0" + +Prepare your boot loader to use the initrd you will create or +modify. For lilo the simplest setup looks like the following +lines:: + + image=/boot/vmlinuz + initrd=/boot/initrd.gz + label=linux + append="root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc rw" + +Finally you need to create or modify your initrd. Lets assume +you create an initrd that reads the required dm-crypt setup +from a pcmcia flash disk card. The card is formatted with an ext2 +fs which resides on /dev/hde1 when the card is inserted. The +card contains at least the encrypted swap setup in a file +named "swapkey". /etc/fstab of your initrd contains something +like the following:: + + /dev/hda1 /mnt ext3 ro 0 0 + none /proc proc defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 0 + none /sys sysfs defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 0 + +/dev/hda1 contains an unencrypted mini system that sets up all +of your crypto devices, again by reading the setup from the +pcmcia flash disk. What follows now is a /linuxrc for your +initrd that allows you to resume from encrypted swap and that +continues boot with your mini system on /dev/hda1 if resume +does not happen:: + + #!/bin/sh + PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin + mount /proc + mount /sys + mapped=0 + noresume=`grep -c noresume /proc/cmdline` + if [ "$*" != "" ] + then + noresume=1 + fi + dmesg -n 1 + /sbin/cardmgr -q + for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 + do + if [ -f /proc/ide/hde/media ] + then + usleep 500000 + mount -t ext2 -o ro /dev/hde1 /mnt + if [ -f /mnt/swapkey ] + then + dmsetup create swap0 /mnt/swapkey > /dev/null 2>&1 && mapped=1 + fi + umount /mnt + break + fi + usleep 500000 + done + killproc /sbin/cardmgr + dmesg -n 6 + if [ $mapped = 1 ] + then + if [ $noresume != 0 ] + then + mkswap /dev/mapper/swap0 > /dev/null 2>&1 + fi + echo 254:0 > /sys/power/resume + dmsetup remove swap0 + fi + umount /sys + mount /mnt + umount /proc + cd /mnt + pivot_root . mnt + mount /proc + umount -l /mnt + umount /proc + exec chroot . /sbin/init $* < dev/console > dev/console 2>&1 + +Please don't mind the weird loop above, busybox's msh doesn't know +the let statement. Now, what is happening in the script? +First we have to decide if we want to try to resume, or not. +We will not resume if booting with "noresume" or any parameters +for init like "single" or "emergency" as boot parameters. + +Then we need to set up dmcrypt with the setup data from the +pcmcia flash disk. If this succeeds we need to reset the swap +device if we don't want to resume. The line "echo 254:0 > /sys/power/resume" +then attempts to resume from the first device mapper device. +Note that it is important to set the device in /sys/power/resume, +regardless if resuming or not, otherwise later suspend will fail. +If resume starts, script execution terminates here. + +Otherwise we just remove the encrypted swap device and leave it to the +mini system on /dev/hda1 to set the whole crypto up (it is up to +you to modify this to your taste). + +What then follows is the well known process to change the root +file system and continue booting from there. I prefer to unmount +the initrd prior to continue booting but it is up to you to modify +this. |
