Changelog:
v17:
- Merged with 5.15-rc1 as requested by Catalin Marinas
- Added Tested-by: Pingfan Liu <pi...@redhat.com>
v16:
- Merged with 5.14-rc4
v15:
- Changed trans_pgd_copy_el2_vectors() to use vector table that
only shared by kexec and hibernate. This way sync does not have
dangling branch that was recently introduced. (Reported by Marc
Zyngier)
- Renamed is_hyp_callable() to is_hyp_nvhe() as requested by Marc
Zyngier
- Clean-ups, comment fixes.
- Sync with upstream 368094df48e680fa51cedb68537408cfa64b788e
v14:
- Fixed a bug in "arm64: hyp-stub: Move elx_sync into the vectors"
that was noticed by Marc Zyngier
- Merged with upstream
v13:
- Fixed a hang on ThunderX2, thank you Pingfan Liu for reporting
the problem. In relocation function we need civac not ivac, we
need to clean data in addition to invalidating it.
Since I was using ThunderX2 machine I also measured the new
performance data on this large ARM64 server. The MMU improves
kexec relocation 190 times on this machine! (see below for
raw data). Saves 7.5s during CentOS kexec reboot.
v12:
- A major change compared to previous version. Instead of using
contiguous VA range a copy of linear map is now used to perform
copying of segments during relocation as it was agreed in the
discussion of version 11 of this project.
- In addition to using linear map, I also took several ideas from
James Morse to better organize the kexec relocation:
1. skip relocation function entirely if that is not needed
2. remove the PoC flushing function since it is not needed
anymore with MMU enabled.
v11:
- Fixed missing KEXEC_CORE dependency for trans_pgd.c
- Removed useless "if(rc) return rc" statement (thank you Tyler Hicks)
- Another 12 patches were accepted into maintainer's get.
Re-based patches against:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git
Branch: for-next/kexec
v10:
- Addressed a lot of comments form James Morse and from Marc Zyngier
- Added review-by's
- Synchronized with mainline
v9: - 9 patches from previous series landed in upstream, so now series
is smaller
- Added two patches from James Morse to address idmap issues for
machines
with high physical addresses.
- Addressed comments from Selin Dag about compiling issues. He also
tested
my series and got similar performance results: ~60 ms instead of ~580
ms
with an initramfs size of ~120MB.
v8:
- Synced with mainline to keep series up-to-date

Split into three patches:
arm64: kexec: offset for relocation function
arm64: kexec: kexec EL2 vectors
arm64: kexec: configure trans_pgd page table for kexec
- arm64: kexec: enable MMU during kexec relocation

v6:
- Sync with mainline tip
- Added Acked's from Dave Young
v5:
- Addressed comments from Matthias Brugger: added review-by's, improved
comments, and made cleanups to swsusp_arch_resume() in addition to
create_safe_exec_page().
- Synced with mainline tip.
v4:
- Addressed comments from James Morse.
- Split "check pgd table allocation" into two patches, and moved to
the beginning of series for simpler backport of the fixes.
Added "Fixes:" tags to commit logs.
- Changed "arm64, hibernate:" to "arm64: hibernate:"
- Added Reviewed-by's
- Moved "add PUD_SECT_RDONLY" earlier in series to be with other
clean-ups
- Added "Derived from:" to arch/arm64/mm/trans_pgd.c
- Removed "flags" from trans_info
- Changed .trans_alloc_page assumption to return zeroed page.
- Simplify changes to trans_pgd_map_page(), by keeping the old
code.
- Simplify changes to trans_pgd_create_copy, by keeping the old
code.
- Removed: "add trans_pgd_create_empty"
- replace init_mm with NULL, and keep using non "__" version of
populate functions.
v3:
- Split changes to create_safe_exec_page() into several patches for
easier review as request by Mark Rutland. This is why this series
has 3 more patches.
- Renamed trans_table to tans_pgd as agreed with Mark. The header
comment in trans_pgd.c explains that trans stands for
transitional page tables. Meaning they are used in transition
between two kernels.
v2:
- Fixed hibernate bug reported by James Morse
- Addressed comments from James Morse:
* More incremental changes to trans_table
* Removed TRANS_FORCEMAP
* Added kexec reboot data for image with 380M in size.
Enable MMU during kexec relocation in order to improve reboot performance.
If kexec functionality is used for a fast system update, with a minimal
downtime, the relocation of kernel + initramfs takes a significant portion
of reboot.
The reason for slow relocation is because it is done without MMU, and thus
not benefiting from D-Cache.
Performance data
----------------
Cavium ThunderX2:
Kernel Image size: 38M Iniramfs size: 46M Total relocation size: 84M
MMU-disabled:
relocation 7.489539915s
MMU-enabled:
relocation 0.03946095s
Relocation performance is improved 190 times.
Broadcom Stingray:
For this experiment, the size of kernel plus initramfs is small, only 25M.
If initramfs was larger, than the improvements would be greater, as time
spent in relocation is proportional to the size of relocation.
MMU-disabled::
kernel shutdown 0.022131328s
relocation 0.440510736s
kernel startup 0.294706768s
Relocation was taking: 58.2% of reboot time
MMU-enabled:
kernel shutdown 0.032066576s
relocation 0.022158152s
kernel startup 0.296055880s
Now: Relocation takes 6.3% of reboot time
Total reboot is x2.16 times faster.
With bigger userland (fitImage 380M), the reboot time is improved by 3.57s,
and is reduced from 3.9s down to 0.33s
