[PATCH 1/3 -mm] kexec jump -v8 : kexec jump basic

From: Huang, Ying
Date: Fri Dec 21 2007 - 02:43:20 EST

This patch implements the functionality of jumping between the kexeced
kernel and the original kernel.

To support jumping between two kernels, before jumping to (executing)
the new kernel and jumping back to the original kernel, the devices
are put into quiescent state, and the state of devices and CPU is
saved. After jumping back from kexeced kernel and jumping to the new
kernel, the state of devices and CPU are restored accordingly. The
devices/CPU state save/restore code of software suspend is called to
implement corresponding function.

To support jumping without reserving memory. One shadow backup page
(source page) is allocated for each page used by new (kexeced) kernel
(destination page). When do kexec_load, the image of new kernel is
loaded into source pages, and before executing, the destination pages
and the source pages are swapped, so the contents of destination pages
are backupped. Before jumping to the new (kexeced) kernel and after
jumping back to the original kernel, the destination pages and the
source pages are swapped too.

A jump back protocol for kexec is defined and documented. It is an
extension to ordinary function calling protocol. So, the facility
provided by this patch can be used to call ordinary C function in
physical mode.

A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to
indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back.

+ THE LINUX/I386 JUMP BACK PROTOCOL
+ ---------------------------------
+
+ Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>
+ Last update 2007-12-19
+
+Currently, the following versions of the jump back protocol exist.
+
+Protocol 1.00: Jumping between original kernel and kexeced kernel
+ support. Calling ordinary C function support.
+
+
+*** JUMP BACK ENTRY
+
+At jump back entry of callee, the CPU must be in 32-bit protected mode
+with paging disabled; the CS, DS, ES and SS must be 4G flat segments;
+CS must have execute/read permission, and DS, ES and SS must have
+read/write permission; interrupt must be disabled; the contents of
+registers and corresponding memory must be as follow:
+
+Offset/Size Meaning
+
+%edi Real jump back entry of caller if supported,
+ otherwise 0.
+%esp Stack top pointer, the size of stack is about 4k bytes.
+(%esp)/4 Helper jump back entry of caller if %edi != 0,
+ otherwise undefined.
+
+If jumping back to caller is supported, %edi is the real jump back
+entry of caller, that is, the callee can jump back to %edi with the
+same protocol.
+
+If jumping back to caller is supported, (%esp) is the helper jump back
+entry of caller. At helper jump back entry, CPU state other than
+contents of registers must be same as ordinary jump back protocol; the
+contents of registers and corresponding memory must be as follow:
+
+Offset/Size Meaning
+
+%edi,%esi,%ebp,%ebx Original value
+%esp Original value - 4, that is, the return address is popped.
+
+This is same as function return ABI, and the jump back entry protocol
+conforms function calling ABI too. So, if the helper jump back entry
+is used, the jump back entry can be implemented as an ordinary C
+function, the function prototype is as follow:
+
+void jump_back_entry(void);
+
+The code at helper jump back entry of caller will jump to real jump
+back entry of caller, with contents of registers and corresponding
+memory as follow:
+
+Offset/Size Meaning
+
+%edi Real jump back entry of callee (start address of callee)
+%esp Stack top pointer, the size of stack is about 4k bytes.
+(%esp)/4 Helper jump back entry of callee
+
+
+**** LOAD THE JUMP BACK IMAGE
+
+Jump back image is an ordinary ELF64 executable file, it can be loaded
+just as other ELF64 image. That is, the PT_LOAD segments should be
+loaded into their physical address. The entry point of jump back image
+is called the jump back entry of image.
