ARM hibernation / suspend-to-disk

ARM hibernation / suspend-to-disk

[Jan Glauber]

Hi list,

what's the status of suspend-to-disk on ARM? The most recent discussion I
found is:
http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2012-November/034997.html

with no replies at all. Is anyone still working on that? Anyone got it running?

I tried the patch above (on top of LTS 3.4) and got stuck forever, the last
thing on the console was:

root at omap5:/sys/power# echo disk > state
[ 2015.641540] PM: Syncing filesystems ... done.
[ 2015.666870] PM: Preallocating image memory... done (allocated 16957 pages)
[ 2016.062011] PM: Allocated 67828 kbytes in 0.38 seconds (178.49 MB/s)

Any hint how to debug that?

thanks,
Jan

I know it is still broken and I had discussion with Kevin in past
regarding that. See below.

Because of the nature of omap5 PM, you'd need omap5 specific support in
order for this to work. Specifically, there are a number of assumptions
about certain power domains never losing state. You can take a look at
the work I did to get this working on am335x here:

https://github.com/russdill/linux/commits/arm-hibernation-am33xx

For ARM hibernation support to get merged, there needs to be at least
one platform that supports it. the am335x code I have is not ready as it
still relies on PM patchsets that have not yet themselves been merged.

Given that we have chicken-and-egg problem here, I believe it makes sense
to merge generic ARM hibernation support now.

Hi Pavel, Russ,

I have been looking and working with Russ' most recent branch based
on the 3.12 kernel, which includes the big pile of patches for OMAP.
(https://github.com/russdill/linux/commits/arm-hibernation-am33xx-v3.12)

He has hibernation mostly working and I have been able to run 1400 or
so entry/exits overnight there on beaglebone black without issue.
Combining this with device activity has been tricky.  An active
network will lose the link on restore.  Active SD traffic will
eventually hang (Last night ran for about 11 hours before hanging
after ~350 or so hibernations).  I have not found where this is or
the cause.

If you want to go ahead with upstreaming the base patch, Russ, would you
like me to do that for you or will you have time to do this?

Otherwise, I am still looking at how to get this upstream by verifying
on omap 5.  In my case, I still have the chicken egg problem, where I'm 
trying to verify on omap 5 with out of tree patches.

Thanks,

Sebastian

Sorry, incorrect, I'm verifying on Beaglebone black not OMAP 5.

Yeah, but those are driver problems, right? 1400 suspends is very
nice, and it shows that the core is working. That should be enough for
merge; driver problems can be solved later.

Hi Pavel,

I spoke to Russ, and he's ok with me sending this on his behalf.

Let me prepare it for review and I'll send it out.

Hi Sebastian ,Pavel ,Russ:
 I want to build the kernel https://github.com/russdill/linux/commits/arm-
hibernation-am33xx-v3.12 to be used in BeagleBone black too, after I clone 
and checkout the branch, I'm not sure whether my opration is right, can 
someone help me to comfirm?
Below is my operation:
1. make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/media/work/BBB/tools/arm-2010.09/bin/arm-
none-linux-gnueabi- omap2plus_defconfig . Is the omap2plus_defconfig is 
right configuration file?
2. russdill says his board is BeagleBone(http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=3hdbH-Ur-hE), so if there would be some modificaiton to be done before 
compile this source code? 
3. Is there any intructions about using and compiling the hibernation source 
code?

Hi Tony,

I use omap2plus_defconfig.  

I have been working with BeagleBone Black (bbb) for hibernation on this branch:

http://git.linaro.org/git-ro/people/sebastian.capella/linux.git hibernation_3.13_russMerge

I ran into a few minor issues on Russ' branch for bbb that I had to work
around.  In the end it worked fine, but I know I had to add some entries
in the dts files at least for it to work.

On bbb I'm resuming from initramfs by echoing the hibernation
swap device onto /sys/power/resume during my initscript, but before
remounting the partitions.  You may need to do similar.

You will have to change power managemennt -> hibernation to on in
menuconfig.

I can help more, please let me know what you have and how you'd like to
set it up.

Thanks!

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian:
You're kind, and thank you firtly.
Now I have try to booting you hibernation_3.13_russMerge branch kernel 
from uboot(Version 2013-10) in BBB, and I don't know how to build the dtb.
I have built the uImage using:
1. make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/media/work/BBB/tools/arm-2010.09/bin/arm-
none-linux-gnueabi- omap2plus_defconfig && make ARCH=arm 
CROSS_COMPILE=/media/work/BBB/tools/arm-2010.09/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- 
uImage LOADADDR=0x80008000
2. And I load the uImage using the ext4load from TF card?
(1)ext4load mmc 0:2 80007f00 /boot/uImage
(2)and 'iminfo 0x80007f00' hints image is OK.
(3)The Kernel Command Line is 'init=/linuxrc console=ttyO0,115200n8 
run_hardware_tests root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 ro rootfstype=ext4 rootwait' and 
I select the 'Always use the default kernel command line'
and the configuration has been verified in other version linux kernel 
source code.
(4)But when I 'bootm 80007f00', it just print the 'Starting kernel ...' 
and nothing more. And the USERLED0-3 in BBB are off.
3. I guess this is caused by I haven't load a dts to memory
(1)Can you tell me how to build the dtb? Like 'make XXX.dtb/dts'?
(2)And which dtb should be loaded into memory? What the address should 
be load for the dtb files?

4. I use the busybox to be the rootfs, and it test OK. I prepare add a 
resume command to /sys/power/resume in inittab. Should this work?

Hi Tony, you'll want to do:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/media/work/BBB/tools/arm-2010.09/bin/arm- dtbs

This will generate dtb files in arch/arm/boot/dts/

>From there, you must take the correct dtb file and include it in your
u-boot.

You'll have to point the bootup to the dtb image you load.

This is what you expect when it can't find the dtb image, as the dtb is
required to boot.

If you're using beaglebone black, use am335x-boneblack.dtb

The load address is tricky a bit, the answer is it depends on where you
have room.

I'm probably not much help here.

For now, probably just get everything booting.  If you can, use an
initrd or initramfs and boot it there.  Once you mount rootfs really on
the SD card, it's too late as you'll corrupt your filesystem.

Sorry about my delayed responses.  I'm in Macao at the Linaro Connect,
but will check emails from time to time.

Thanks,

Hi Sebastian:
     Thank you. And I'm in Shanghai, it's not far from the Macao, both 
in China, ha.
The system can boot up normal now. And I want to make the hibernation, 
but error occurs. I want to save the hibernation image in 
/dev/mmcblk0p3(device id 179:3), and I configure this in menuconfig:
/ # cat /sys/power/resume 179:3
When I echo a disk to /sys/power/state , it hints(partly log):
[ 49.426656] omap_uart 44e09000.serial: no wakeirq for uart0
[ 49.594385] PM: thaw of devices complete after 171.291 msecs

[ 49.667356] PM: Cannot get swap writer
[ 49.722677] Restarting tasks ... done. ash: write error: No such device

But I can find my device /dev/mmcblk0p3, and its size is about 2GB, and 
it's not mounted in system,it can be mounted with ext4 filesystem.
/ # ls -l /dev/mmcblk*
brw-rw---- 1 0 0 179, 3 Jan 1 00:01 /dev/mmcblk0p3

It says cannot find swap device, but the CONFIG_SWAP=y is checked.
It seems I miss something?

Hi tony,
          
Two things are?missing:

1) you must format the partition as swap using the mkswap command. ?This can be
   done on target or on your laptop. ?

2) after booting, on target you have to add the swap to the system using the
   swapon command. ?I usually do:

    swapon /dev/mmcblk0p3

If you want to do swapon -a you may have to modify the
/etc/fstab or mnttab but I don't do it?this way. ?

Hi Sebastian ,tonyho ,Pavel ,Russ:

I want to build the kernel https://github.com/russdill/linux/commits/arm-
hibernation-am33xx-v3.12 to be used in BeagleBone black Rev C too, I 
watched all discussion between Sebastian and tonyho, but I still can't 
work fine.

Below is my question:

1. I can't find the branch: http://git.linaro.org/git-
ro/people/sebastian.capella/linux.git hibernation_3.13_russMerge

Does the repositories still working? Or where can I find it?

2. Because I can't use Sebastian's branch above, I still use Russ's 
branch(arm-hibernation-am33xx-v3.12),and I built zImage and am335x-
boneblack.dtb succesfully. When I boot beanglebone black using rootfs, 
it hints(partly log):
[    1.626927] tps65217 0-0024: TPS65217 ID 0xe version 1.2

[    1.770213] Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2...

I guess this problem is caused by device tree hasn't support mmc.

I want to ask how to add some entries in the dts files? or if there 
would be some modification to be done before compile russ's source code? 

Below is my operation:
1. Build russ's kernel branch:
$ git clone https://github.com/russdill/linux.git
$ git checkout arm-hibernation-am33xx-v3.12
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- omap2plus_defconfig
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- menuconfig
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- zImage dtbs -j4

2. Build russ's u-boot(https://github.com/russdill/u-
boot/tree/hibernation-v2013.10):
$make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- am335x_boneblack

Thank you very much!
