2016-09-13PM / sleep: enable suspend-to-idle even without registered suspend_opsSudeep Holla1-0/+2
Suspend-to-idle (aka the "freeze" sleep state) is a system sleep state in which all of the processors enter deepest possible idle state and wait for interrupts right after suspending all the devices. There is no hard requirement for a platform to support and register platform specific suspend_ops to enter suspend-to-idle/freeze state. Only deeper system sleep states like PM_SUSPEND_STANDBY and PM_SUSPEND_MEM rely on such low level support/implementation. suspend-to-idle can be entered as along as all the devices can be suspended. This patch enables the support for suspend-to-idle even on systems that don't have any low level support for deeper system sleep states and/or don't register any platform specific suspend_ops.

2015-10-14PM / sleep: Add flags to indicate platform firmware involvementRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+36
There are quite a few cases in which device drivers, bus types or even the PM core itself may benefit from knowing whether or not the platform firmware will be involved in the upcoming system power transition (during system suspend) or whether or not it was involved in it (during system resume). For this reason, introduce global system suspend flags that can be used by the platform code to expose that information for the benefit of the other parts of the kernel and make the ACPI core set them as appropriate. Users of the new flags will be added later. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

2015-02-14PM / sleep: Re-implement suspend-to-idle handlingRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+16
In preparation for adding support for quiescing timers in the final stage of suspend-to-idle transitions, rework the freeze_enter() function making the system wait on a wakeup event, the freeze_wake() function terminating the suspend-to-idle loop and the mechanism by which deep idle states are entered during suspend-to-idle. First of all, introduce a simple state machine for suspend-to-idle and make the code in question use it. Second, prevent freeze_enter() from losing wakeup events due to race conditions and ensure that the number of online CPUs won't change while it is being executed. In addition to that, make it force all of the CPUs re-enter the idle loop in case they are in idle states already (so they can enter deeper idle states if possible). Next, drop cpuidle_use_deepest_state() and replace use_deepest_state checks in cpuidle_select() and cpuidle_reflect() with a single suspend-to-idle state check in cpuidle_idle_call(). Finally, introduce cpuidle_enter_freeze() that will simply find the deepest idle state available to the given CPU and enter it using cpuidle_enter(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2014-09-30ACPI / sleep: Rework the handling of ACPI GPE wakeup from suspend-to-idleRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+2
The ACPI GPE wakeup from suspend-to-idle is currently based on using the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag for the ACPI SCI, but that is problematic for a couple of reasons. First, in principle the ACPI SCI may be shared and IRQF_NO_SUSPEND does not really work well with shared interrupts. Second, it may require the ACPI subsystem to special-case the handling of device notifications depending on whether or not they are received during suspend-to-idle in some places which would lead to fragile code. Finally, it's better the handle ACPI wakeup interrupts consistently with wakeup interrupts from other sources. For this reason, remove the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag from the ACPI SCI and use enable_irq_wake()/disable_irq_wake() with it instead, which requires two additional platform hooks to be added to struct platform_freeze_ops.

2014-05-16ACPI / PM: Hold ACPI scan lock over the "freeze" sleep stateRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+7
The "freeze" sleep state suffers from the same issue that was addressed by commit ad07277e82de (ACPI / PM: Hold acpi_scan_lock over system PM transitions) for ACPI sleep states, that is, things break if ->remove() is called for devices whose system resume callbacks haven't been executed yet. It also can be addressed in the same way, by holding the ACPI scan lock over the "freeze" sleep state and PM transitions to and from that state, but ->begin() and ->end() platform operations for the "freeze" sleep state are needed for this purpose.

2014-04-23ARM: 8011/1: ARM hibernation / suspend-to-diskSebastian Capella1-0/+2
Enable hibernation for ARM architectures and provide ARM architecture specific calls used during hibernation. The swsusp hibernation framework depends on the platform first having functional suspend/resume. Then, in order to enable hibernation on a given platform, a platform_hibernation_ops structure may need to be registered with the system in order to save/restore any SoC-specific / cpu specific state needing (re)init over a suspend-to-disk/resume-from-disk cycle. For example: - "secure" SoCs that have different sets of control registers and/or different CR reg access patterns. - SoCs with L2 caches as the activation sequence there is SoC-dependent; a full off-on cycle for L2 is not done by the hibernation support code. - SoCs requiring steps on wakeup _before_ the "generic" parts done by cpu_suspend / cpu_resume can work correctly. - SoCs having persistent state which is maintained during suspend and resume, but will be lost during the power off cycle after suspend-to-disk. This is a rebase/rework of Frank Hofmann's v5 hibernation patchset. Acked-by: Russ Dill <Russ.Dill@ti.com> Cc: "Rafael J.

2013-06-21PM / Sleep: Print last wakeup source on failed wakeup_count writeJulius Werner1-0/+1
Commit a938da06 introduced a useful little log message to tell users/debuggers which wakeup source aborted a suspend. However, this message is only printed if the abort happens during the in-kernel suspend path (after writing /sys/power/state). The full specification of the /sys/power/wakeup_count facility allows user-space power managers to double-check if wakeups have already happened before it actually tries to suspend (e.g. while it was running user-space pre-suspend hooks), by writing the last known wakeup_count value to /sys/power/wakeup_count. This patch changes the sysfs handler for that node to also print said log message if that write fails, so that we can figure out the offending wakeup source for both kinds of suspend aborts.

2013-02-10PM: Introduce suspend state PM_SUSPEND_FREEZEZhang Rui1-1/+5
PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE state is a general state that does not need any platform specific support, it equals frozen processes + suspended devices + idle processors. Compared with PM_SUSPEND_MEMORY, PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE saves less power because the system is still in a running state. PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE has less resume latency because it does not touch BIOS, and the processors are in idle state. Compared with RTPM/idle, PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE saves more power as 1. the processor has longer sleep time because processes are frozen. The deeper c-state the processor supports, more power saving we can get. 2. PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE uses system suspend code path, thus we can get more power saving from the devices that does not have good RTPM support. This state is useful for 1) platforms that do not have STR, or have a broken STR. 2) platforms that have an extremely low power idle state, which can be used to replace STR. The following describes how PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE state works. 1. echo freeze > /sys/power/state 2. the processes are frozen. 3. all the devices are suspended. 4. all the processors are blocked by a wait queue 5. all the processors idles and enters (Deep) c-state. 6. an interrupt fires. 7. a processor is woken up and handles the irq. 8. if it is a general event, a) the irq handler runs and quites. b) goto step 4. 9. if it is a real wake event, say, power button pressing, keyboard touch, mouse moving, a) the irq handler runs and activate the wakeup source b) wakeup_source_activate() notifies the wait queue. c) system starts resuming from PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE 10. all the devices are resumed. 11. all the processes are unfrozen. 12. system is back to working. Known Issue: The wakeup of this new PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE state may behave differently from the previous suspend state. Take ACPI platform for example, there are some GPEs that only enabled when the system is in sleep state, to wake the system backk from S3/S4. But we are not touching these GPEs during transition to PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE. This means we may lose some wake event. But on the other hand, as we do not disable all the Interrupts during PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE, we may get some extra "wakeup" Interrupts, that are not available for S3/S4. The patches has been tested on an old Sony laptop, and here are the results: Average Power: 1. RPTM/idle for half an hour: 14.8W, 12.6W, 14.1W, 12.5W, 14.4W, 13.2W, 12.9W 2. Freeze for half an hour: 11W, 10.4W, 9.4W, 11.3W 10.5W 3. RTPM/idle for three hours: 11.6W 4. Freeze for three hours: 10W 5. Suspend to Memory: 0.5~0.9W Average Resume Latency: 1. RTPM/idle with a black screen: (From pressing keyboard to screen back) Less than 0.2s 2. Freeze: (From pressing power button to screen back) 2.50s 3. Suspend to Memory: (From pressing power button to screen back) 4.33s >From the results, we can see that all the platforms should benefit from this patch, even if it does not have Low Power S0.

2012-05-01PM / Sleep: Implement opportunistic sleep, v2Rafael J. Wysocki1-1/+12
Introduce a mechanism by which the kernel can trigger global transitions to a sleep state chosen by user space if there are no active wakeup sources. It consists of a new sysfs attribute, /sys/power/autosleep, that can be written one of the strings returned by reads from /sys/power/state, an ordered workqueue and a work item carrying out the "suspend" operations. If a string representing the system's sleep state is written to /sys/power/autosleep, the work item triggering transitions to that state is queued up and it requeues itself after every execution until user space writes "off" to /sys/power/autosleep. That work item enables the detection of wakeup events using the functions already defined in drivers/base/power/wakeup.c (with one small modification) and calls either pm_suspend(), or hibernate() to put the system into a sleep state. If a wakeup event is reported while the transition is in progress, it will abort the transition and the "system suspend" work item will be queued up again. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2012-01-29PM / Sleep: Introduce "late suspend" and "early resume" of devicesRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+4
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.

2012-01-20PM / Hibernate: Rewrite unlock_system_sleep() to fix s2disk regressionSrivatsa S. Bhat1-2/+17
Commit 33e638b, "PM / Sleep: Use the freezer_count() functions in [un]lock_system_sleep() APIs" introduced an undesirable change in the behaviour of unlock_system_sleep() since freezer_count() internally calls try_to_freeze() - which we don't need in unlock_system_sleep(). And commit bcda53f, "PM / Sleep: Replace mutex_[un]lock(&pm_mutex) with [un]lock_system_sleep()" made these APIs wide-spread. This caused a regression in suspend-to-disk where snapshot_read() and snapshot_write() were getting frozen due to the try_to_freeze embedded in unlock_system_sleep(), since these functions were invoked when the freezing condition was still in effect. Fix this by rewriting unlock_system_sleep() by open-coding freezer_count() and dropping the try_to_freeze() part. Not only will this fix the regression but this will also ensure that the API only does what it is intended to do, and nothing more, under the hood. While at it, make the code more correct and robust by ensuring that the PF_FREEZER_SKIP flag gets cleared with pm_mutex held, to avoid a race with the freezer. Also, to be on the safer side, open-code freezer_do_not_count() as well (inside lock_system_sleep()), to ensure that any unrelated modification to freezer[_do_not]_count() does not break things again!

2011-12-09PM / Sleep: Make [un]lock_system_sleep() genericSrivatsa S. Bhat1-20/+16
The [un]lock_system_sleep() APIs were originally introduced to mutually exclude memory hotplug and hibernation. Directly using mutex_lock(&pm_mutex) to achieve mutual exclusion with suspend or hibernation code can lead to freezing failures. However, the APIs [un]lock_system_sleep() can be safely used to achieve the same, without causing freezing failures. So, since it would be beneficial to modify all the existing users of mutex_lock(&pm_mutex) (in all parts of the kernel), so that they use these safe APIs intead, make these APIs generic by removing the restriction that they work only when CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS is set. Moreover, that restriction didn't buy us anything anyway. Suggested-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S. Bhat <srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2011-11-24PM / Memory-hotplug: Avoid task freezing failuresSrivatsa S. Bhat1-0/+4
The lock_system_sleep() function is used in the memory hotplug code at several places in order to implement mutual exclusion with hibernation. However, this function tries to acquire the 'pm_mutex' lock using mutex_lock() and hence blocks in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state if it doesn't get the lock. This would lead to task freezing failures and hence hibernation failure as a consequence, even though the hibernation call path successfully acquired the lock. But it is to be noted that, since this task tries to acquire pm_mutex, if it blocks due to this, we are *100% sure* that this task is not going to run as long as hibernation sequence is in progress, since hibernation releases 'pm_mutex' only at the very end, when everything is done. And this means, this task is going to be anyway blocked for much more longer than what the freezer intends to achieve; which means, freezing and thawing doesn't really make any difference to this task! So, to fix freezing failures, we just ask the freezer to skip freezing this task, since it is already "frozen enough". But instead of calling freezer_do_not_count() and freezer_count() as it is, we use only the relevant parts of those functions, because restrictions such as 'the task should be a userspace one' etc., might not be relevant in this scenario.

2011-10-17PM / Suspend: Add statistics debugfs file for suspend to RAMShuoX Liu1-0/+52
Record S3 failure time about each reason and the latest two failed devices' names in S3 progress. We can check it through 'suspend_stats' entry in debugfs. The motivation of the patch: We are enabling power features on Medfield. Comparing with PC/notebook, a mobile enters/exits suspend-2-ram (we call it s3 on Medfield) far more frequently. If it can't enter suspend-2-ram in time, the power might be used up soon. We often find sometimes, a device suspend fails. Then, system retries s3 over and over again. As display is off, testers and developers don't know what happens. Some testers and developers complain they don't know if system tries suspend-2-ram, and what device fails to suspend. They need such info for a quick check. The patch adds suspend_stats under debugfs for users to check suspend to RAM statistics quickly. If not using this patch, we have other methods to get info about what device fails. One is to turn on CONFIG_PM_DEBUG, but users would get too much info and testers need recompile the system. In addition, dynamic debug is another good tool to dump debug info. But it still doesn't match our utilization scenario closely. 1) user need write a user space parser to process the syslog output; 2) Our testing scenario is we leave the mobile for at least hours. Then, check its status. No serial console available during the testing. One is because console would be suspended, and the other is serial console connecting with spi or HSU devices would consume power. These devices are powered off at suspend-2-ram.

Then, it may want to enter suspend again if its predefined wakeup condition is the only wakeup reason and there is no outstanding events; thus, it does not wakeup the userspace unnecessary or unnecessary devices and keeps suspended as long as possible (saving the power). Enabling a system to wakeup after a specified time can be easily achieved by using RTC. However, to enter suspend again immediately without invoking userland and unrelated devices, we need additional features in the suspend framework. Such need comes from: 1. Monitoring a critical device status without interrupts that can wakeup the system. (in-suspend polling) An example is ambient temperature monitoring that needs to shut down the system or a specific device function if it is too hot or cold. The temperature of a specific device may be needed to be monitored as well; e.g., a charger monitors battery temperature in order to stop charging if overheated. 2. Execute critical "delayed work" at suspend. A driver or a system/board may have a delayed work (or any similar things) that it wants to execute at the requested time. For example, some chargers want to check the battery voltage some time (e.g., 30 seconds) after the battery is fully charged and the charger has stopped. Then, the charger restarts charging if the voltage has dropped more than a threshold, which is smaller than "restart-charger" voltage, which is a threshold to restart charging regardless of the time passed. This patch allows to add "suspend_again" callback at struct platform_suspend_ops and let the "suspend_again" callback return true if the system is required to enter suspend again after the current instance of wakeup. Device-wise suspend_again implemented at dev_pm_ops or syscore is not done because: a) suspend_again feature is usually under platform-wise decision and controls the behavior of the whole platform and b) There are very limited devices related to the usage cases of suspend_again; chargers and temperature sensors are mentioned so far. With suspend_again callback registered at struct platform_suspend_ops suspend_ops in kernel/power/suspend.c with suspend_set_ops by the platform, the suspend framework tries to enter suspend again by looping suspend_enter() if suspend_again has returned true and there has been no errors in the suspending sequence or pending wakeups (by pm_wakeup_pending).

2011-04-12PM / Hibernate: Introduce CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKSRafael J. Wysocki1-8/+3
Xen save/restore is going to use hibernate device callbacks for quiescing devices and putting them back to normal operations and it would need to select CONFIG_HIBERNATION for this purpose. However, that also would cause the hibernate interfaces for user space to be enabled, which might confuse user space, because the Xen kernels don't support hibernation. Moreover, it would be wasteful, as it would make the Xen kernels include a substantial amount of code that they would never use. To address this issue introduce new power management Kconfig option CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS, such that it will only select the code that is necessary for the hibernate device callbacks to work and make CONFIG_HIBERNATION select it. Then, Xen save/restore will be able to select CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS without dragging the entire hibernate code along with it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2010-10-17PM / Wakeup: Introduce wakeup source objects and event statistics (v3)Rafael J. Wysocki1-2/+2
Introduce struct wakeup_source for representing system wakeup sources within the kernel and for collecting statistics related to them. Make the recently introduced helper functions pm_wakeup_event(), pm_stay_awake() and pm_relax() use struct wakeup_source objects internally, so that wakeup statistics associated with wakeup devices can be collected and reported in a consistent way (the definition of pm_relax() is changed, which is harmless, because this function is not called directly by anyone yet). Introduce new wakeup-related sysfs device attributes in /sys/devices/.../power for reporting the device wakeup statistics. Change the global wakeup events counters event_count and events_in_progress into atomic variables, so that it is not necessary to acquire a global spinlock in pm_wakeup_event(), pm_stay_awake() and pm_relax(), which should allow us to avoid lock contention in these functions on SMP systems with many wakeup devices.

2010-07-19PM: Make it possible to avoid races between wakeup and system sleepRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+7
One of the arguments during the suspend blockers discussion was that the mainline kernel didn't contain any mechanisms making it possible to avoid races between wakeup and system suspend. Generally, there are two problems in that area. First, if a wakeup event occurs exactly when /sys/power/state is being written to, it may be delivered to user space right before the freezer kicks in, so the user space consumer of the event may not be able to process it before the system is suspended. Second, if a wakeup event occurs after user space has been frozen, it is not generally guaranteed that the ongoing transition of the system into a sleep state will be aborted. To address these issues introduce a new global sysfs attribute, /sys/power/wakeup_count, associated with a running counter of wakeup events and three helper functions, pm_stay_awake(), pm_relax(), and pm_wakeup_event(), that may be used by kernel subsystems to control the behavior of this attribute and to request the PM core to abort system transitions into a sleep state already in progress. The /sys/power/wakeup_count file may be read from or written to by user space. Reads will always succeed (unless interrupted by a signal) and return the current value of the wakeup events counter. Writes, however, will only succeed if the written number is equal to the current value of the wakeup events counter. If a write is successful, it will cause the kernel to save the current value of the wakeup events counter and to abort the subsequent system transition into a sleep state if any wakeup events are reported after the write has returned. [The assumption is that before writing to /sys/power/state user space will first read from /sys/power/wakeup_count. Next, user space consumers of wakeup events will have a chance to acknowledge or veto the upcoming system transition to a sleep state. Finally, if the transition is allowed to proceed, /sys/power/wakeup_count will be written to and if that succeeds, /sys/power/state will be written to as well. Still, if any wakeup events are reported to the PM core by kernel subsystems after that point, the transition will be aborted.] Additionally, put a wakeup events counter into struct dev_pm_info and make these per-device wakeup event counters available via sysfs, so that it's possible to check the activity of various wakeup event sources within the kernel. To illustrate how subsystems can use pm_wakeup_event(), make the low-level PCI runtime PM wakeup-handling code use it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2009-11-18mm: allow memory hotplug and hibernation in the same kernelAndi Kleen1-2/+19
Allow memory hotplug and hibernation in the same kernel Memory hotplug and hibernation were exclusive in Kconfig. This is obviously a problem for distribution kernels who want to support both in the same image. After some discussions with Rafael and others the only problem is with parallel memory hotadd or removal while a hibernation operation is in process. It was also working for s390 before. This patch removes the Kconfig level exclusion, and simply makes the memory add / remove functions grab the pm_mutex to exclude against hibernation. Fixes a regression - old kernels didn't exclude memory hotadd and hibernation.

2009-04-19PM/Suspend: Introduce two new platform callbacks to avoid breakageRafael J. Wysocki1-10/+26
Commit 900af0d973856d6feb6fc088c2d0d3fde57707d3 (PM: Change suspend code ordering) changed the ordering of suspend code in such a way that the platform .prepare() callback is now executed after the device drivers' late suspend callbacks have run. Unfortunately, this turns out to break ARM platforms that need to talk via I2C to power control devices during the .prepare() callback. For this reason introduce two new platform suspend callbacks, .prepare_late() and .wake(), that will be called just prior to disabling non-boot CPUs and right after bringing them back on line, respectively, and use them instead of .prepare() and .finish() for ACPI suspend. Make the PM core execute the .prepare() and .finish() platform suspend callbacks where they were executed previously (that is, right after calling the regular suspend methods provided by device drivers and right before executing their regular resume methods, respectively). It is not necessary to make analogous changes to the hibernation code and data structures at the moment, because they are only used by ACPI platforms. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2008-07-26kexec jump: save/restore device stateHuang Ying1-0/+2
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 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 - makedumpfile with patches are used as memory image saving tool, it can exclude free pages from original kernel memory image file.

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.
