[Devel] [RFC v14-rc3][PATCH 29/36] powerpc: checkpoint/restart implementation

Oren Laadan orenl at cs.columbia.edu
Tue Apr 7 05:27:37 PDT 2009


From: Nathan Lynch <ntl at pobox.com>

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)
