[PATCH 0/9] powerpc checkpoint/restart kernel support

[PATCH 0/9] powerpc checkpoint/restart kernel support

[Nathan Lynch]

Patches 1-3 fix general issues and can be applied immediately.

Patches 4-8 implement the checkpoint and restart syscalls and
architecture callbacks.

Patch 9 implements the clone_with_pids syscall, but I think the shape
of that interface is yet to be finalized, so I guess it's FYI for now.

Simple single task checkpoint and restart work, as does
clone_with_pids, apparently.  Multiple task restart fails; the
coordinator task appears to be receiving a signal during
wait_all_tasks_finish() -> wait_for_completion_interruptible() for
some reason I am still trying to tracking down.

But it's defined as __u64 in checkpoint_hdr.h.  So on 32-bit this cast
won't be right, right?

But a major ack to shutting this thing up.

Definitely. In fact, it's addressed already in the PGID patch :)

[PATCH 3/9] futex.h: fix compat builds

[Nathan Lynch]

With any build where CONFIG_COMPAT=y:

checkpoint/process.c: In function 'save_task_robust_futex_list':
checkpoint/process.c:37: error: implicit declaration of function 'ptr_to_compat'
checkpoint/process.c:38: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

checkpoint/process.c:54: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
checkpoint/process.c:55: error: implicit declaration of function 'do_compat_set_robust_list'

ptr_to_compat et al need compat.h; however, futex.h is exported while
compat.h is not.  So the include is guarded by #ifdef __KERNEL__.

Including futex.h does not require compat.h. Rather, it's the code
in checkpoint/process.c that uses ptr_to_compat() et al. Is there a
reason not to include compat.h from checkpoint/process.c instead ?

Oh my, you're right.  I had this hanging around from an older tree where
futex.h did need it, but it's obviously not the right fix now.  The
include should go in checkpoint/process.c.

[PATCH 5/9] powerpc: provide APIs for validating and updating DABR

[Nathan Lynch]

A checkpointed task image may specify a value for the DABR (Data
Access Breakpoint Register).  The restart code needs to validate this
value before making any changes to the current task.

ptrace_set_debugreg encapsulates the bounds checking and platform
dependencies of programming the DABR.  Split this into "validate"
(debugreg_valid) and "update" (debugreg_update) functions, and make
them available for use outside of the ptrace code.

Also ptrace_set_debugreg has extern linkage, but no users outside of
ptrace.c.  Make it static.

[PATCH 6/9] powerpc: checkpoint/restart implementation

[Nathan Lynch]

Support for checkpointing and restarting GPRs, FPU state, DABR, and
Altivec state.

The portion of the checkpoint image manipulated by this code begins
with a bitmask of features indicating the various contexts saved.
Fields in image that can vary depending on kernel configuration
(e.g. FP regs due to VSX) have their sizes explicitly recorded, except
for GPRS, so migrating between ppc32 and ppc64 won't work yet.

The restart code ensures that the task is not modified until the
checkpoint image is validated against the current kernel configuration
and hardware features (e.g. can't restart a task using Altivec on
non-Altivec systems).

What works:
* self and external checkpoint of simple (single thread, one open
  file) 32- and 64-bit processes on a ppc64 kernel

What doesn't work:
* restarting a 32-bit task from a 64-bit task and vice versa

Untested:
* ppc32 (but it builds)

I'm about to push ckpt-v18-rc1 today. Would you like that to include
the remaining patches as well ?

Oren.
