Goal:

• Processing until the application reaches to main()– Transfer of image– Dynamic linking– Global constructors

• IPC Processing among applications for the whole system running

HWinitialization

Mountingdriversinit

(Boot loader/ kernel)

1 [s] 1 [s] 2 [s] 5 [s]

Startup time of application

• Want to shorten start up time of application


Hibernation on Linux:• Swsusp

– Included in 2.6 vanilla kernel(Documentation/power/swsusp.txt)

– Author: Pavel Machek

• Software Suspend 2– http://www.suspend2.net/– Author: Nigel Cunningham


Hibernation on Linux(Comparison):

architecture i386, ppc, x86_64, ia64 i386, ppc, x86_64

Current Status:• Ported Suspend2 onto ARM

– Posted on Suspend2 ML– To be incorporated in next release!

http://lists.suspend2.net/lurker/message/20051114.094040.11261d0e.en.html


Environment:• Target board

– OMAP Starter Kit (OSK 5912)

• OS– Linux 2.6

• Boot loader– U-boot

• Image destination– Flash ROM

Hardware Features:ARM9 core operating at 192 Mhz. DSP core operating at 192 Mhz. TLV320AIC23 Stereo Codec 32 Mbyte DDR SDRAM 32 Mbyte Flash ROM RS-232 Serial Port 10 MBPS Ethernet port USB Host Port Compact flash connector On board IEEE 1149.1 JTAG


Suspend2 Evaluation:• Linux 2.6.14 + Suspend2-2.2-rc9• Hibernate from ash login state• Used printk time of kernel to measure time

– Baseline is the timimg when linux starts up from uboot

– In make menuconfig• Kernel hacking --->

[ ] Show timing information on printks– http://tree.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/PrintkTimes


Suspend2 Results:• Normal Start up

– 7.618 [sec]

• Suspend2 (lzf on)– 22.492 [sec]– 12.371 MB 7.450 MB (compression rate

39%)

• Suspend2 (lzf off)– 17.99 [sec]

Suspend2 process start at: 4.402 [sec]

Diff of startup time: 20%, 4.50 [sec]


swsusp Evaluation:• Linux 2.6.11

• Used printk time of kernel to measure time– Clock starts when linux starts up from uboot– In make menuconfig

• Kernel hacking ---> [ ] Show timing information on printks

– http://tree.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/PrintkTimes


swsusp Results:• Normal startup

– 7.676 [sec]

• swsusp (ash)– 9.52 [sec]– Image: 6.38 MB

• swsusp (mplayer)– 13.910 [sec]– Image: 10.24 MB

(swsusp process start at: 2.174 [sec])


Swsusp/suspend2 Comparison:• Not a strict comparison as Linux versions are

not the same…– Swsusp/linux2.6.11: image is small, and startup is

fast– Suspend2/linux2.6.14: LZF compression of image

is effective, but tradeoff with startup time

• Suspend2-2.2 is not stable yet, as it is RC…


Swsusp/suspend2 Comparison: (cont.)• Image size/processing time

– Suspend2: 925KB/sec– swsusp: 889KB/sec


Swsusp3:• Author of swsusp, Pavel, has extended swsusp

with encryption, compression, UI etc.• The goal is to minimize the change to kernel

by most of processing done in the user land• http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2005-September/001312.html• http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2005-November/001535.html• http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2005-November/001562.html


Swsusp3: (ML digests)• Want to integrate kernel part into around 2.6.16

(Pavel)• If integrated, RH/FC kernel would fork. Swsusp3

uses /dev/mem, but they restrict /dev/mem to prevent rootkit (Dave Jones)

…(hot discussion continues on swsusp3 vs security)• Encryption/compression in userland is more

intuitive (Rafael J. WysockiRafael J. Wysocki )


Swsusp3: (ML digests (cont.))

• Those functions are already in suspend2. Duplicated effort (Dumitru Ciobarcianu )

• It is different to implement in kernel. Can’t believe Pavel? Nigel knows what he should do to work together. (Greg K-H)

• I can’t understand why they think userland is the right place. (Nigel)


Swsusp3: (ML digests (cont.))• Userland swsusp changes only 150 lines or

so in kernel (Pavel)

• Present Nigel’s code won’t be mainlined. (Greg K-H)

• (Hot discussion continues)
