[Devel] [PATCH 1/3] powerpc: bare minimum checkpoint/restart implementation

Nathan Lynch ntl at pobox.com
Wed Jan 28 14:41:16 PST 2009


The only thing of significance here is that the checkpointed task's
pt_regs and fp state are saved and restored (see cr_write_cpu and
cr_read_cpu); the rest of the code consists of dummy implementations
of the APIs the arch needs to provide to the checkpoint/restart core.

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)
