<title>x86 / hibernate: Use hlt_play_dead() when resuming from hibernation</title>

<id>406f992e4a372dafbe3c2cff7efbb2002a5c8ebd</id>
<content type='text'>
On Intel hardware, native_play_dead() uses mwait_play_dead() by
default and only falls back to the other methods if that fails.
That also happens during resume from hibernation, when the restore
(boot) kernel runs disable_nonboot_cpus() to take all of the CPUs
except for the boot one offline.

However, that is problematic, because the address passed to
__monitor() in mwait_play_dead() is likely to be written to in the
last phase of hibernate image restoration and that causes the "dead"
CPU to start executing instructions again.  Unfortunately, the page
containing the address in that CPU's instruction pointer may not be
valid any more at that point.

First, that page may have been overwritten with image kernel memory
contents already, so the instructions the CPU attempts to execute may
simply be invalid.  Second, the page tables previously used by that
CPU may have been overwritten by image kernel memory contents, so the
address in its instruction pointer is impossible to resolve then.

A report from Varun Koyyalagunta and investigation carried out by
Chen Yu show that the latter sometimes happens in practice.

To prevent it from happening, temporarily change the smp_ops.play_dead
pointer during resume from hibernation so that it points to a special
"play dead" routine which uses hlt_play_dead() and avoids the
inadvertent "revivals" of "dead" CPUs this way.

A slightly unpleasant consequence of this change is that if the
system is hibernated with one or more CPUs offline, it will generally
draw more power after resume than it did before hibernation, because
the physical state entered by CPUs via hlt_play_dead() is higher-power
than the mwait_play_dead() one in the majority of cases.  It is
possible to work around this, but it is unclear how much of a problem
that's going to be in practice, so the workaround will be implemented
later if it turns out to be necessary.

Make it possible to protect all pages holding image data during
hibernate image restoration by setting them read-only (so as to
catch attempts to write to those pages after image data have been
stored in them).

This adds overhead to image restoration code (it may cause large
page mappings to be split as a result of page flags changes) and
the errors it protects against should never happen in theory, so
the feature is only active after passing hibernate=protect_image
to the command line of the restore kernel.

Also it only is built if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set.

so add support for that, convert those attributes to read-only

Stop abusing struct page functionality and the swap end_io handler, and

Also move the block I/O code into swap.c as they are directly tied into

<title>PM / Hibernate: Migrate to ktime_t</title>

<id>db597605821fccc49876705aea5db5443d67e53e</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch migrates swsusp_show_speed and its callers to using ktime_t instead
of 'struct timeval' which suffers from the y2038 problem.

Changes to swsusp_show_speed:
        - use ktime_t for start and stop times
        - pass start and stop times by value
Calling functions affected:
        - load_image
        - load_image_lzo
        - save_image
        - save_image_lzo
        - hibernate_preallocate_memory
Design decisions:
        - use ktime_t to preserve same granularity of reporting as before
        - use centisecs logic as before to avoid 'div by zero' issues caused by
          using seconds and nanoseconds directly
        - use monotonic time (ktime_get()) since we only care about elapsed time.

After commit d431cbc53cb7 (PM / sleep: Simplify sleep states sysfs
interface code) the pm_states[] array is not populated initially,
which causes setup_test_suspend() to always fail and the suspend
testing during boot doesn't work any more.

Fix the problem by using pm_labels[] instead of pm_states[] in
setup_test_suspend() and storing a pointer to the label of the
sleep state to test rather than the number representing it,
because the connection between the state numbers and labels is
only established by suspend_set_ops().

(PM_SUSPEND_STANDBY, PM_SUSPEND_MEM), a given state is either
always supported or always unsupported and store that information
in pm_states[] instead of calling valid_state() every time we
need to check it.

Also do not use valid_state() for PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE, which is always
valid, and move the pm_test_level validity check for PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE
directly into enter_state().

To allow sleep states corresponding to the "mem", "standby" and
"freeze" lables to be different from the pm_states[] indexes of
those strings, introduce struct pm_sleep_state, consisting of
a string label and a state number, and turn pm_states[] into an

This modification should not lead to any functional changes.
