PM / Hibernate: Restore old swap signature to avoid user space breakage

2010-12-16T16:08:58Z

Commit 3624eb0 (PM / Hibernate: Modify signature used to mark swap) attempted to modify hibernate signature used to mark swap partitions containing hibernation images, so that old kernels don't try to handle compressed images. However, this change broke resume from hibernation on Fedora 14 that apparently doesn't pass the resume= argument to the kernel and tries to trigger resume from early user space. This doesn't work, because the signature is now different, so the old signature has to be restored to avoid the problem. Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22732 .

PM / Hibernate: Fix PM_POST_* notification with user-space suspend

2010-12-16T16:08:43Z

The user-space hibernation sends a wrong notification after the image restoration because of thinko for the file flag check. RDONLY corresponds to hibernation and WRONLY to restoration, confusingly. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Cc: stable@kernel.org

PM / Hibernate: Fix memory corruption related to swap

2010-12-06T22:52:08Z

There is a problem that swap pages allocated before the creation of a hibernation image can be released and used for storing the contents of different memory pages while the image is being saved. Since the kernel stored in the image doesn't know of that, it causes memory corruption to occur after resume from hibernation, especially on systems with relatively small RAM that need to swap often. This issue can be addressed by keeping the GFP_IOFS bits clear in gfp_allowed_mask during the entire hibernation, including the saving of the image, until the system is finally turned off or the hibernation is aborted. Unfortunately, for this purpose it's necessary to rework the way in which the hibernate and suspend code manipulates gfp_allowed_mask. This change is based on an earlier patch from Hugh Dickins.

PM / Hibernate: Use async I/O when reading compressed hibernation image

2010-12-06T22:38:29Z

This is a fix for reading LZO compressed image using async I/O. Essentially, instead of having just one page into which we keep reading blocks from swap, we allocate enough of them to cover the largest compressed size and then let block I/O pick them all up. Once we have them all (and here we wait), we decompress them, as usual. Obviously, the very first block we still pick up synchronously, because we need to know the size of the lot before we pick up the rest. Also fixed the copyright line, which I've forgotten before.

PM / OPP: Hide OPP configuration when SoCs do not provide an implementation

2010-11-11T00:51:26Z

Since the OPP API is only useful with an appropraite SoC-specific implementation there is no point in offering the ability to enable the API on general systems. Provide an ARCH_HAS OPP Kconfig symbol which masks out the option unless selected by an implementation.

PM: Introduce library for device-specific OPPs (v7)

2010-10-16T23:57:50Z

SoCs have a standard set of tuples consisting of frequency and voltage pairs that the device will support per voltage domain. These are called Operating Performance Points or OPPs. The actual definitions of OPP varies over silicon versions. For a specific domain, we can have a set of {frequency, voltage} pairs. As the kernel boots and more information is available, a default set of these are activated based on the precise nature of device. Further on operation, based on conditions prevailing in the system (such as temperature), some OPP availability may be temporarily controlled by the SoC frameworks. To implement an OPP, some sort of power management support is necessary hence this library depends on CONFIG_PM. Contributions include: Sanjeev Premi for the initial concept: http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/50998/ Kevin Hilman for converting original design to device-based. Kevin Hilman and Paul Walmsey for cleaning up many of the function abstractions, improvements and data structure handling. Romit Dasgupta for using enums instead of opp pointers. Thara Gopinath, Eduardo Valentin and Vishwanath BS for fixes and cleanups. Linus Walleij for recommending this layer be made generic for usage in other architectures beyond OMAP and ARM. Mark Brown, Andrew Morton, Rafael J. Wysocki, Paul E. McKenney for valuable improvements.

PM: Add sysfs attr for rechecking dev hash from PM trace

2010-10-16T23:57:50Z

If the device which fails to resume is part of a loadable kernel module it won't be checked at startup against the magic number stored in the RTC. Add a read-only sysfs attribute /sys/power/pm_trace_dev_match which contains a list of newline separated devices (usually just the one) which currently match the last magic number. This allows the device which is failing to resume to be found after the modules are loaded again. Signed-off-by: James Hogan Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki
