<title>[PATCH] swsusp: Use memory bitmaps during resume</title>

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).

<title>[PATCH] Disable CPU hotplug during suspend</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

1. Add architecture specific pages save/restore support.  Next two patches
   will use this to save/restore 'ACPI NVS' pages.

2. Allow reserved pages 'nosave'.  This could avoid save/restore BIOS
   reserved pages.

This patch makes swsusp free only as much memory as needed to complete the
suspend and not as much as possible.   In the most of cases this should speed
up the suspend and make the system much more responsive after resume,
especially if a GUI (eg.  X Windows) is used.

If needed, the old behavior (ie to free as much memory as possible during
suspend) can be restored by unsetting FAST_FREE in power.h

<content type='text'>
This patch introduces the swap map structure that can be used by swsusp for
keeping tracks of data pages written to the swap.   The structure itself is
described in a comment within the patch.

The overall idea is to reduce the amount of metadata written to the swap and
to write and read the image pages sequentially, in a file-alike way.  This
makes the swap-handling part of swsusp fairly independent of its
snapshot-handling part and will hopefully allow us to completely separate
these two parts in the future.

This patch is needed to remove the suspend image size limit imposed by the
limited size of the swsusp_info structure, which is essential for x86-64
systems with more than 512 MB of RAM.
