Brian Geffon 7181d45e36 UPSTREAM: PM: hibernate: don't store zero pages in the image file
On ChromeOS we've observed a considerable number of in-use pages filled with
zeros. Today with hibernate it's entirely possible that saveable pages are just
zero filled. Since we're already copying pages word-by-word in do_copy_page it
becomes almost free to determine if a page was completely filled with zeros.

This change introduces a new bitmap which will track these zero pages. If a page
is zero it will not be included in the saved image, instead to track these zero
pages in the image file we will introduce a new flag which we will set on the
packed PFN list. When reading back in the image file we will detect these zero
page PFNs and rebuild the zero page bitmap.

When the image is being loaded through calls to write_next_page if we encounter
a zero page we will silently memset it to 0 and then continue on to the next
page. Given the implementation in snapshot_read_next/snapshot_write_next this
change  will be transparent to non-compressed/compressed and swsusp modes of
operation.

To provide some concrete numbers from simple ad-hoc testing, on a device which
was lightly in use we saw that:

PM: hibernation: Image created (964408 pages copied, 548304 zero pages)

Of the approximately 6.2GB of saveable pages 2.2GB (36%) were just zero filled
and could be tracked entirely within the packed PFN list. The savings would
obviously be much lower for lzo compressed images, but even in the case of
compression not copying pages across to the compression threads will still
speed things up. It's also possible that we would see better overall compression
ratios as larger regions of "real data" would improve the compressibility.

Finally, such an approach could dramatically improve swsusp performance
as each one of those zero pages requires a write syscall to reload, by
handling it as part of the packed PFN list we're able to fully avoid
that.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels

  1. BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

    • Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux, additions of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export.
    • When sending patches upstream, the commit message must contain a clear case for why the patch is needed and beneficial to the community. Enabling out-of-tree drivers or functionality is not not a persuasive case.
  2. LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

Common Kernel patch requirements

  • All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass scripts/checkpatch.pl
  • Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
  • If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:, or ANDROID:.
  • All patches must have a Change-Id: tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html)
  • If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a Bug: tag.
  • All patches must have a Signed-off-by: tag by the author and the submitter

Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type

Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:

  • If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
    • tag the patch subject with UPSTREAM:.
    • add upstream commit information with a (cherry picked from commit ...) line
    • Example:
      • if the upstream commit message is
        important patch from upstream

        This is the detailed description of the important patch

  • then Joe Smith would upload the patch for the common kernel as
        UPSTREAM: important patch from upstream

  • If the patch requires any changes from the upstream version, tag the patch with BACKPORT: instead of UPSTREAM:.
    • use the same tags as UPSTREAM:
    • add comments about the changes under the (cherry picked from commit ...) line
    • Example:
