Berkeley Lab Checkpoint/Restart (BLCR) Administrator's Guide
This guide describes how to install, configure, and maintain Berkeley Lab
Checkpoint/Restart (BLCR) for Linux. For usage instructions please see the
companion BLCR User's Guide.
1. System Requirements
BLCR consists of two kernel modules, some user-level libraries, and several
command-line executables. No kernel patching is required.
BLCR has been engineered to work with a wide range of Linux kernels:
Many major vendor distributions of Linux. Those tested historically have
include SuSE 9.x and OpenSuSE 10.0 though 11.0, CentOS 3.1, and Fedora Core 2
through 10 (Note: this list is NOT exclusive).
Many "vanilla" Linux 2.6.x kernels (from kernel.org) have also been tested
with many glibc versions (2.2 through 2.9).
We believe vanilla versions 2.6.0 through 2.6.38 all work.
BLCR uses a set of autoconf-based feature tests to probe the kernels it
builds against. It is thus likely that a custom kernel based on one of the
above kernel sources will work with BLCR, provided that patches applied to the
kernel don't invalidate assumptions BLCR has made.
BLCR uses assembly code to save some program state (most notably the CPU
registers). This means that the BLCR kernel modules are not portable
across CPU architectures "out of the box". BLCR has long supported the
x86 and x86_64 architectures. The 0.6.0 release was the first to
include experimental support for PowerPC64 and for ARM, while the 0.7.0
release added experimental support for 32-bit PowerPC. Currently x86
and x86_64 systems are the most fully tested with BLCR, with the other
architectures tested heavily only at release time. Porting BLCR to a
different CPU is not a large software effort if one has sufficient Linux
kernel experience and knowledge of the target CPU's ABI and
instructions. Please contact us if you are interested in contributing a
port. We are especially interested in somebody with the time and
equipment to complete the unfinished port to SPARC64.
