LinuxLists.cc - [PATCH RFC v1 0/3] hibernation support on ARM

[permalink] [raw]

Subject: [PATCH RFC v1 1/3] ARM: Add irq disabled version of soft_restart.

From: Russ Dill <[email protected]>

This adds the ability to run soft_restart with local_irq/fiq_disable
already called. This is helpful for the hibernation code paths.

Subject: [PATCH RFC v1 3/3] ARM hibernation / suspend-to-disk

From: Russ Dill <[email protected]>

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.

Subject: [PATCH RFC v1 2/3] Fix hibernation restore hang in freeze_processes

During restore, pm_notifier chain are called with
PM_RESTORE_PREPARE. The firmware_class driver handler
fw_pm_notify does not have a handler for this. As a result,
it keeps a reader on the kmod.c umhelper_sem. During
freeze_processes, the call to __usermodehelper_disable tries to
take a write lock on this semaphore and hangs waiting.

Can you explain to me please why we need to call flush_thread() here ?
At this point in time syscore_suspend() was already called and CPU
peripheral state saved through CPU PM notifiers.

To me it looks like we are using this hook to disable fiqs, since it is
not done in generic code.

By the time the suspend finisher (ie this function) is run, the
processor state has been saved and I think that's all you have to do,
function can just return after calling swsusp_save(), unless I am missing
something.

I do not understand why a soft_restart is required here. On a side note,
finisher is called with irqs disabled so, since you added a function for
soft restart noirq, it should be used, if needed, but I have to understand
why in the first place.

If the goal of soft_restart is to return 0 on success from this call,
you can still do that without requiring a soft_restart in the first
place. IIUC all you want to achieve is to save processor context
registers so that when you resume from image you will actually return
from here.

This soft_restart is justified so that you resume from the context saved
when creating the image.

Ok, a function with attribute __naked that still calls C functions, is
attr __naked really needed here ?

cpu_init is called in the cpu_resume path, why is this call needed here ?

I think the idea here is to get the CPU into a state so that later
when we resume from the resume kernel, the actual CPU state matches
the state we have in kernel. The main thing flush_thread does is clear
out any and all FP state.

The may be part of the patchset that is OBE.

cpu_resume makes many assumptions about the state of the state of the
CPU, the primary being that the MMU is disabled, but also that all
caches and IRQs are disabled. soft_restart does all this for us.

ah, you are saying just return from __swsusp_arch_save_image and allow
cpu_suspend_abort to be called, placing the result of swsusp_save
somewhere else. This may work and would reduce the complexity of the
code slightly.

This is taken from the previous iteration of the patchset, I think the
comment is OBE.

But this is still required to select the right mapping for our copying.

I don't remember why I needed to prevent gcc from manipulating the
stack here.

This is another holdover from previous patch versions that may be OBE.

Which has already been saved through syscore_suspend()....

It has to be updated then.

Yes. Basically you are doing a soft reboot just to return 0.

Updated it please then.

/me confused. Please describe what switching to idmap is meant to
achieve. In the patch above the copied swapper pgdir is not even used, I
would like to understand why this is done.

That's not a good reason to mark a function with attr __naked. If it is
needed we leave it there, if it is not it has to go.

I still do not understand why switching to idmap, which is a clone of
init_mm + 1:1 kernel mappings is required here. Why idmap ?

And while at it, can't the idmap be overwritten _while_ copying back the
resume kernel ? Is it safe to use idmap page tables while copying ?

I had a look at x86 and there idmap page tables used to resume are created
on the fly using safe pages, on ARM idmap is created at boot.

I am grokking the code to understand what is really needed here, will get
back to you asap but I would like things to be clarified in the interim.

Lorenzo

If there is worry about this, you could setup a page mapping in a
__nosave region, preventing it from being overwritten.

That's fine.

Remember, you're required to boot exactly the same kernel image when
resuming as the kernel which created the suspend image. Unless you
have random allocations going on, you should get the same layout for
the idmap stuff at each boot.

Why would we need _another_ set of pages tables? Aren't two (swapper_pg_dir
and the idmap one) enough?

You do need to switch to the idmap one if you're going to call cpu_resume
at its physical address, because that requires the identity mapping in
order to work.

I'd rather keep this simple. There's no problem with calling soft_restart
with interrupts already disabled. local_irq_disable()/local_fiq_disable()
there should be harmless.

It's required because you can't just return from the finisher. A normal
return from the finisher will always be interpreted as an abort rather
than success (because the state has to be unwound.)

This is the only way to get a zero return from cpu_suspend().

You need the idmap_pgd in place to call cpu_resume at it's physical
address. Other page tables just won't do here. It's well established
that this page table must be in place for the resume paths to work.

So yes, the comments above the function are wrong. idmap_pgd must be
in place for cpu_resume() to work.

Yes, that's the only reason why this code is jumping to cpu_resume, since
all it is needed is to snapshot the CPU context and by the time the
finisher is called that's done. Wanted to say that soft reboot is not
useful (cache flushing and resume with MMU off), but what you are saying
is correct. We might be saving swsusp_save return value in a global
variable and just return from the finisher, but that's horrible and
given the amount of time it takes to snapshot the image to disk the
cost of this soft reboot will be dwarfed by that.

I wanted to ask and clarify why the code was written like this though, given
its complexity.

Well, we do not need idmap page tables for copying the restore_pblist,
but we do need a set of tables that won't be corrupted by the copy and
idmap does the trick (I was confused because 1:1 mappings are not needed
for the copy itself).

The switch to idmap is done for us in soft_reboot anyway before jumping to
cpu_resume and that's required, as you said.

Thanks Russell, now that's clear. We do need a copy of page tables
that are not tampered with while copying, and idmap works well for
that.

I feel bad for the "global variable" trick on x86, and if you can
avoid it, please do!

Actually, x86-64 is able to resume from different kernel these days,
and some day you may want to do it on arm, too. But it is definitely
not needed for inital merge.

We could also return a constant > 1. __cpu_suspend code will replace
a 0 return with 1 for paths exiting suspend, but will not change return
values != 0.

cpu_suspend_abort:
ldmia sp!, {r1 - r3} @ pop phys pgd, virt SP, phys
resume fn
teq r0, #0
moveq r0, #1 @ force non-zero value
mov sp, r2
ldmfd sp!, {r4 - r11, pc}

We could take advantage of that if we wanted, but Lorenzo pointed out
also that the relative benefit is very low since the cost of
resuming is >> soft_restart.

I'll go with leaving the soft_restart as is unless someone feels
strongly against.

So the alternative is to have a version of the call that calls a special
no trace version of local_irq_disable()/local_fiq_disable(). Which would
be preferable? Having a noirq version of soft_restart seems much simpler
to me.

If you want escape the tracer and in that case you really want it
being on a different stack, use raw_local_irq_* which are not traced.

Yes, we could but that's an API abuse and as I mentioned that soft_reboot is
not a massive deal, should not block your series. It is certainly
something to be benchmarked though since wiping the entire cache hierarchy
for nothing is not nifty.

The cost of writing to disk, to be precise. Again, this should be benchmarked.

Leaving it as it is is fine for now, but should be commented, because that's
not clear why it is needed by just reading the code.

So it might make sense to change soft_restart to use the
raw_local_irq_* calls.

I've added this change. So far it's working well.

Thanks!

Please add:

"swsusp_save() is executed in the suspend finisher so that the CPU context
pointer and memory are part of the saved image, which is required by the
resume kernel image to restart execution from swsusp_arch_suspend()"

"When soft reboot completes, the hibernation snapshot is written out."

Resume is confusing since this code is resuming twice :D on image saving
and on kernel image restoration.
