[PATCH][v5] x86, suspend: Save/restore extra MSR registers for suspend

From: Chen Yu
Date: Sat Oct 10 2015 - 23:17:57 EST


A bug is reported(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1227208)
that, after resumed from S3, CPU is running at a low speed.
After investigation, it is found that, BIOS has modified the value
of THERM_CONTROL register during S3, and changes it from 0 to 0x10
(thus changes the clock modulation from reserved to enabled),
since value of 0x10 means CPU can only get 25% of the Duty Cycle,
this triggers the problem.

Here is a simple scenario to reproduce the issue(only for above case):
1.Boot up the system
2.Get MSR with address 0x19a, it should be 0
3.Put the system into sleep, then wake it up
4.Get MSR with address 0x19a, it should be 0(actually it shows 0x10)

Although this is a BIOS issue, it would be more robust for linux to deal
with this situation. This patch fixes this issue by introducing a framework
to save/restore specified MSR registers(THERM_CONTROL in this case)
for suspend/resume.

When user encounters a problematic platform and needs to protect the
MSRs during suspending, he can simply add a quirk entry in
msr_save_dmi_table, and customizes MSR registers inside the quirk
callback, for example:

u32 msr_id_need_to_save[] = {MSR_ID0, MSR_ID1, MSR_ID2...};

and the quirk mechanism ensures that, once resumed from suspended,
the MSRs indicated by these IDs will be restored to their original values
before suspended.

Since both 64/32-bit kernels are affected, this patch covers 64/32-bit
common code path. And because the MSRs specified by the user might not
be available or readable in any situation, we use rdmsrl_safe to safely
save these MSRs.

---
v5:
- Rename some structures and variables for better understanding.
Put the defination of struct saved_msr and struct msr_save_data to
header: arch/x86/include/asm/msr.h.
Re-implement the msr_save_context and msr_restore_context for better
maintaining.
Convert the msr_context_array to be dynamically allocated.
Fix some typos in code comments.
v4:
- Revert v3 to v2, and fix some typos in changelog/comments.
Use msr_info structure instead of msr_id + msr_value.
Adjust some codes for better readability.
v3:
- Simplify the patch to only focus on THERM_CONTROL register.
This will make things 'just work'.
v2:
- Cover both 64/32-bit common code path.
Use rdmsrl_safe to safely read MSR.
Introduce a quirk framework for save/restore specified MSR on different
platforms.
