There were some bugs in handling failures to exec helper programs. errno was passed back from the child with the wrong sign. It was also ignored. In the case where it mattered, the errno from the (successful) read in the parent was used instead. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds an implementation of setjmp and longjmp to UML, allowing access to the inside of a jmpbuf without needing the access macros formerly provided by libc. The implementation is stolen from klibc. I copy the relevant files into arch/um. I have another patch which avoids the copying, but requires klibc be in the tree. setjmp and longjmp users required some tweaking. Includes of <setjmp.h> were removed and includes of the UML longjmp.h were added where necessary. There are also replacements of siglongjmp with UML_LONGJMP which I somehow missed earlier.

Add the pm_trace attribute in /sys/power which has to be explicitly set to one to really enable the "PM tracing" code compiled in when CONFIG_PM_TRACE is set (which modifies the machine's CMOS clock in unpredictable ways). Signed-off-by:

Hack uart_suspend_port() and uart_resume_port() so that serial console ports are not suspended if CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND is set. This makes it possible to debug the suspend and resume routines of all device drivers as well as the lowest-level swsusp code with the help of the serial console. Signed-off-by:

Make swsusp use memory bitmaps to store its internal information during the resume phase of the suspend-resume cycle. If the pfns of saveable pages are saved during the suspend phase instead of the kernel virtual addresses of these pages, we can use them during the resume phase directly to set the corresponding bits in a memory bitmap. Then, this bitmap is used to mark the page frames corresponding to the pages that were saveable before the suspend (aka "unsafe" page frames). Next, we allocate as many page frames as needed to store the entire suspend image and make sure that there will be some extra free "safe" page frames for the list of PBEs constructed later. Subsequently, the image is loaded and, if possible, the data loaded from it are written into their "original" page frames (ie. the ones they had occupied before the suspend). The image data that cannot be written into their "original" page frames are loaded into "safe" page frames and their "original" kernel virtual addresses, as well as the addresses of the "safe" pages containing their copies, are stored in a list of PBEs. Finally, the list of PBEs is used to copy the remaining image data into their "original" page frames (this is done atomically, by the architecture-dependent parts of swsusp). Signed-off-by:

Introduce the memory bitmap data structure and make swsusp use in the suspend phase. The current swsusp's internal data structure is not very efficient from the memory usage point of view, so it seems reasonable to replace it with a data structure that will require less memory, such as a pair of bitmaps. The idea is to use bitmaps that may be allocated as sets of individual pages, so that we can avoid making allocations of order greater than 0. For this reason the memory bitmap structure consists of several linked lists of objects that contain pointers to memory pages with the actual bitmap data. Still, for a typical system all of these lists fit in a single page, so it's reasonable to introduce an additional mechanism allowing us to allocate all of them efficiently without sacrificing the generality of the design. This is done with the help of the chain_allocator structure and associated functions. We need to use two memory bitmaps during the suspend phase of the suspend-resume cycle. One of them is necessary for marking the saveable pages, and the second is used to mark the pages in which to store the copies of them (aka image pages). First, the bitmaps are created and we allocate as many image pages as needed (the corresponding bits in the second bitmap are set as soon as the pages are allocated). Second, the bits corresponding to the saveable pages are set in the first bitmap and the saveable pages are copied to the image pages. Finally, the first bitmap is used to save the kernel virtual addresses of the saveable pages and the second one is used to save the contents of the image pages. Signed-off-by:

The current suspend code has to be run on one CPU, so we use the CPU hotplug to take the non-boot CPUs offline on SMP machines. However, we should also make sure that these CPUs will not be enabled by someone else after we have disabled them. The functions disable_nonboot_cpus() and enable_nonboot_cpus() are moved to kernel/cpu.c, because they now refer to some stuff in there that should better be static. Also it's better if disable_nonboot_cpus() returns an error instead of panicking if something goes wrong, and enable_nonboot_cpus() has no reason to panic(), because the CPUs may have been enabled by the userland before it tries to take them online.

On x86_64 machines with more than 2 GB of RAM there are large memory gaps (with no corresponding kernel virtual addresses) and reserved memory regions between areas of usable physical RAM. Moreover, if CONFIG_FLATMEM is set, they appear within the normal zone. swsusp should not try to save them, so the corresponding page structs have to be marked as 'nosave'. Signed-off-by:

Implement async reads for swsusp resuming. Crufty old PIII testbox: 15.7 MB/s -> 20.3 MB/s Sony Vaio: 14.6 MB/s -> 33.3 MB/s I didn't implement the post-resume bio_set_pages_dirty(). I don't really understand why resume needs to run set_page_dirty() against these pages. It might be a worry that this code modifies PG_Uptodate, PG_Error and PG_Locked against the image pages. Can this possibly affect the resumed-into kernel? Hopefully not, if we're atomically restoring its mem_map? Cc: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> Cc: "Rafael J.

Switch the swsusp writeout code from 4k-at-a-time to 4MB-at-a-time. Crufty old PIII testbox: 12.9 MB/s -> 20.9 MB/s Sony Vaio: 14.7 MB/s -> 26.5 MB/s The implementation is crude. A better one would use larger BIOs, but wouldn't gain any performance. The memcpys will be mostly pipelined with the IO and basically come for free. The ENOMEM path has not been tested. It should be.

The functions prepare_set and post_set in kernel/cpu/mtrr/generic.c wrap the spinlock set_atomicity_lock: prepare_set returns with the lock held, and post_set releases the lock without acquiring it. Add lock annotations to these two functions so that sparse can check callers for lock pairing, and so that sparse will not complain about these functions since they intentionally use locks in this manner.

Voyager fiddles with current->signal.tty without locking. It turns out that the code in question has already cleared current->signal.tty correctly because daemonize() does the right thing already. The signal handling also appears to be incorrect as it does an unprotected sigfillset that also appears unneccessary. As I don't have a bowtie and am therefore not a qualified voyager maintainer I leave that to James. Signed-off-by:

Move the __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP defines to accompany the function definitions.

The current VMSPLIT Kconfig option is disabled whenever highmem is on. This is a bit screwy because the people who need to change VMSPLIT the most tend to be the ones with highmem and constrained lowmem. So, remove the highmem dependency. But, re-include the dependency for the "full 1GB of lowmem" option. You can't have the full 1GB of lowmem and highmem because of the need for the vmalloc(), kmap(), etc... areas. I thought there would be at least a bit of tweaking to do to get it to work, but everything seems OK.

I've come across some problems with the assembly version of the ELFNOTE macro currently in -mm. (in x86-put-note-sections-into-a-pt_note-segment-in-vmlinux.patch) The first is that older gas does not support :varargs in .macro definitions (in my testing 2.17 does while 2.15 does not, I don't know when it became supported). The Changes file says binutils >= 2.12 so I think we need to avoid using it. There are no other uses in mainline or -mm. Old gas appears to just ignore it so you get "too many arguments" type errors. Secondly it seems that passing strings as arguments to assembler macros is broken without varargs. It looks like they get unquoted or each character is treated as a separate argument or something and this causes all manner of grief. I think this is because of the use of -traditional when compiling assembly files. Therefore I have translated the assembler macro into a pre-processor macro. I added the desctype as a separate argument instead of including it with the descdata as the previous version did since -traditional means the ELFNOTE definition after the #else needs to have the same number of arguments (I think so anyway, the -traditional CPP semantics are pretty fscking strange!). With this patch I am able to define elfnotes in assembly like this with both old and new assemblers. ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_GUEST_OS, .asciz, "linux") ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_GUEST_VERSION, .asciz, "2.6") ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_XEN_VERSION, .asciz, "xen-3.0") ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_VIRT_BASE, .long, __PAGE_OFFSET) Which seems reasonable enough.

This patch will pack any .note.* section into a PT_NOTE segment in the output file. To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment. This requires us to start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need to explicitly create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the sections to them appropriately. Fortunately, each section will default to its previous section's segment, so it doesn't take many changes to vmlinux.lds.S. This only changes i386 for now, but I presume the corresponding changes for other architectures will be as simple. This change also adds <linux/elfnote.h>, which defines C and Assembler macros for actually creating ELF notes. Signed-off-by:
