kexec-hardboot for LG Nexus 4 (mako)

mako-aosp-Implement-kexec-hardboot.patch

From a5c71c50da839c6932af1903bcc0036daa033f7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Vojtech Bocek <vbocek@gmail.com>

Subject: [PATCH] Implement kexec-hardboot

"Allows hard booting (i.e., with a full hardware reboot) to a kernel
previously loaded in memory by kexec.  This works around the problem of
soft-booted kernel hangs due to improper device shutdown and/or
reinitialization."
More info in /arch/arm/Kconfig.

Original author: Mike Kasick <mike@kasick.org>

Vojtech Bocek <vbocek@gmail.com>:
  I've ported it to mako and flo, it is based of my grouper port, which is
  based of Asus TF201 patche ported by Jens Andersen <jens.andersen@gmail.com>

  I've moved atags copying from guest to the host kernel, which means there
  is no need to patch the guest kernel, assuming the --mem-min in kexec call
  is within the first 256MB of System RAM, otherwise it will take a long time
  to load. I've also fixed /proc/atags entry, which would give the kexec-tools
  userspace binary only the first 1024 bytes of atags,
  see arch/arm/kernel/atags.c for more details.

  Other than that, memory-reservation code for the hardboot page and
  some assembler to do the watchdog reset on MSM chip are new for this device.

ayysir <dresadd09691@gmail.com>:
  kexec: use mem_text_write_kernel_word to set reboot_code_buffer args
  in order to avoid protection faults (writes to read-only
  kernel memory) when CONFIG_STRICT_MEMORY_RWX is enabled.

+	help
+	  Allows hard booting (i.e., with a full hardware reboot) to a kernel
+	  previously loaded in memory by kexec.  This works around the problem of
+	  soft-booted kernel hangs due to improper device shutdown and/or
+	  reinitialization.  Support is comprised of two components:
+
+	  First, a "hardboot" flag is added to the kexec syscall to force a hard
+	  reboot in relocate_new_kernel() (which requires machine-specific assembly
+	  code).  This also requires the kexec userspace tool to load the kexec'd
+	  kernel in memory region left untouched by the bootloader (i.e., not
+	  explicitly cleared and not overwritten by the boot kernel).  Just prior
+	  to reboot, the kexec kernel arguments are stashed in a machine-specific
+	  memory page that must also be preserved.  Note that this hardboot page
+	  need not be reserved during regular kernel execution.
+
+	  Second, the zImage decompresor of the boot (bootloader-loaded) kernel is
+	  modified to check the hardboot page for fresh kexec arguments, and if
+	  present, attempts to jump to the kexec'd kernel preserved in memory.
+
+	  Note that hardboot support is only required in the boot kernel and any
+	  kernel capable of performing a hardboot kexec.  It is _not_ required by a
+	  kexec'd kernel.

mako-cm-Implement-kexec-hardboot.patch

From e133376adb4140dd11772f143ad1790dcbbe37cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Vojtech Bocek <vbocek@gmail.com>
Date: Sun, 6 Oct 2013 16:35:23 +0200
Subject: [PATCH] Implement kexec-hardboot

"Allows hard booting (i.e., with a full hardware reboot) to a kernel
previously loaded in memory by kexec.  This works around the problem of
soft-booted kernel hangs due to improper device shutdown and/or
reinitialization."
More info in /arch/arm/Kconfig.

Original author: Mike Kasick <mike@kasick.org>

Vojtech Bocek <vbocek@gmail.com>:
  I've ported it to mako and flo, it is based of my grouper port, which is
  based of Asus TF201 patche ported by Jens Andersen <jens.andersen@gmail.com>

  I've moved atags copying from guest to the host kernel, which means there
  is no need to patch the guest kernel, assuming the --mem-min in kexec call
  is within the first 256MB of System RAM, otherwise it will take a long time
  to load. I've also fixed /proc/atags entry, which would give the kexec-tools
  userspace binary only the first 1024 bytes of atags,
  see arch/arm/kernel/atags.c for more details.

  Other than that, memory-reservation code for the hardboot page and
  some assembler to do the watchdog reset on MSM chip are new for this device.

ayysir <dresadd09691@gmail.com>:
  kexec: use mem_text_write_kernel_word to set reboot_code_buffer args
  in order to avoid protection faults (writes to read-only
  kernel memory) when CONFIG_STRICT_MEMORY_RWX is enabled.

+	help
+	  Allows hard booting (i.e., with a full hardware reboot) to a kernel
+	  previously loaded in memory by kexec.  This works around the problem of
+	  soft-booted kernel hangs due to improper device shutdown and/or
+	  reinitialization.  Support is comprised of two components:
+
+	  First, a "hardboot" flag is added to the kexec syscall to force a hard
+	  reboot in relocate_new_kernel() (which requires machine-specific assembly
+	  code).  This also requires the kexec userspace tool to load the kexec'd
+	  kernel in memory region left untouched by the bootloader (i.e., not
+	  explicitly cleared and not overwritten by the boot kernel).  Just prior
+	  to reboot, the kexec kernel arguments are stashed in a machine-specific
+	  memory page that must also be preserved.  Note that this hardboot page
+	  need not be reserved during regular kernel execution.
+
+	  Second, the zImage decompresor of the boot (bootloader-loaded) kernel is
+	  modified to check the hardboot page for fresh kexec arguments, and if
+	  present, attempts to jump to the kexec'd kernel preserved in memory.
+
+	  Note that hardboot support is only required in the boot kernel and any
+	  kernel capable of performing a hardboot kexec.  It is _not_ required by a
+	  kexec'd kernel.
