[PATCH v21 0/8] arm64: kdump support

[AKASHI Takahiro]

This patch series adds kdump support on arm64.

To load a crash-dump kernel to the systems, a series of patches to
kexec-tools [1], which have not yet been merged upstream, are needed.
Please update to the latest if you have been using an older version.

To examine vmcore (/proc/vmcore) on a crash-dump kernel, you can use
  - crash utility (coming v7.1.6 or later) [2]
    (Necessary patches have already been queued in the master.)

[1]  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/geoff/kexec-tools.git
[2]  https://github.com/crash-utility/crash.git

Changes for v21 (July 6, 2016):

  o Remove kexec patches.
  o Rebase to arm64's for-next/core (Linux-4.7-rc4 based).
  o Clarify the description about kvm in kdump.txt.

[PATCH v21 2/8] arm64: limit memory regions based on DT property, usable-memory

[AKASHI Takahiro]

Crash dump kernel will be run with a limited range of memory as System
RAM.

On arm64, we will use a device-tree property under /chosen,
   linux,usable-memory = <BASE SIZE>
in order for primary kernel either on uefi or non-uefi (device tree only)
system to hand over the information about usable memory region to crash
dump kernel. This property will supercede entries in uefi memory map table
and "memory" nodes in a device tree.

[PATCH v21 3/8] arm64: kdump: implement machine_crash_shutdown()

[AKASHI Takahiro]

Primary kernel calls machine_crash_shutdown() to shut down non-boot cpus
and save registers' status in per-cpu ELF notes before starting crash
dump kernel. See kernel_kexec().
Even if not all secondary cpus have shut down, we do kdump anyway.

As we don't have to make non-boot(crashed) cpus offline (to preserve
correct status of cpus at crash dump) before shutting down, this patch
also adds a variant of smp_send_stop().

[PATCH v21 3/8] arm64: kdump: implement machine_crash_shutdown()

[AKASHI Takahiro]

Primary kernel calls machine_crash_shutdown() to shut down non-boot cpus
and save registers' status in per-cpu ELF notes before starting crash
dump kernel. See kernel_kexec().
Even if not all secondary cpus have shut down, we do kdump anyway.

As we don't have to make non-boot(crashed) cpus offline (to preserve
correct status of cpus at crash dump) before shutting down, this patch
also adds a variant of smp_send_stop().

[PATCH v21 4/8] arm64: kdump: add kdump support

[AKASHI Takahiro]

On crash dump kernel, all the information about primary kernel's system
memory (core image) is available in elf core header.
The primary kernel will set aside this header with reserve_elfcorehdr()
at boot time and inform crash dump kernel of its location via a new
device-tree property, "linux,elfcorehdr".

Please note that all other architectures use traditional "elfcorehdr="
kernel parameter for this purpose.

Then crash dump kernel will access the primary kernel's memory with
copy_oldmem_page(), which reads one page by ioremap'ing it since it does
not reside in linear mapping on crash dump kernel.

We also need our own elfcorehdr_read() here since the header is placed
within crash dump kernel's usable memory.

[PATCH v21 4/8] arm64: kdump: add kdump support

[AKASHI Takahiro]

On crash dump kernel, all the information about primary kernel's system
memory (core image) is available in elf core header.
The primary kernel will set aside this header with reserve_elfcorehdr()
at boot time and inform crash dump kernel of its location via a new
device-tree property, "linux,elfcorehdr".

Please note that all other architectures use traditional "elfcorehdr="
kernel parameter for this purpose.

Then crash dump kernel will access the primary kernel's memory with
copy_oldmem_page(), which reads one page by ioremap'ing it since it does
not reside in linear mapping on crash dump kernel.

We also need our own elfcorehdr_read() here since the header is placed
within crash dump kernel's usable memory.

[PATCH v21 5/8] arm64: kdump: add VMCOREINFO's for user-space coredump tools

[AKASHI Takahiro]

For the current crash utility, we need to know, at least,
  - kimage_voffset
  - PHYS_OFFSET
to handle the contents of core dump file (/proc/vmcore) correctly due to
the introduction of KASLR (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE) in v4.6.
This patch puts them as VMCOREINFO's into the file.

  - VA_BITS
is also added for makedumpfile command.
More VMCOREINFO's may be added later.

Add documentation for linux,usable-memory and linux,elfcorehdr chosen
nodes used by arm64 kexec to decribe the kdump reserved area, and the
elfcorehdr's location within it.

I think it is a bit cleaner if you move this conditional
into the function and have something like:

static void __init reserve_crashkernel(void)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE
#else
#endif
}

It seems this could be simplified by removing these
conditionals, then move the conditionals that are
around the smp_send_crash_stop definition to inside
that definition.

It seems like you could simplifiy with something like:

	case IPI_CPU_CRASH_STOP:
		if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE) {
			irq_enter();
			ipi_cpu_crash_stop(cpu, regs);
			unreachable();
		}

Then move the CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE conditional around
ipi_cpu_crash_stop to just around crash_save_cpu().

This is because the CPU state cannot be reset to EL2 on panic.

On powerpc, userspace tools get everything from the device tree (exposed to 
userspace in /proc/device-tree/), not /proc/iomem.

In the case of the crashkernel reserved region, that information is in 
/chosen/linux,crashkernel-base and /chosen/linux,crashkernel-size.

Either way is fine I think. I'm just mentioning this for reference in case 
you want the ARM implementation to be closer to another arch which is also 
based on the device tree.

Again, this description is wrong for PowerPC. See messages from myself and

I know that this is just a matter of preference, but
I can see more use cases of the above than the below
that you mentioned under arm64 directory.
So I want to keep the current style unchanged unless
the maintainers don't like it.

OK, I will take this.

Yeah, we can do that, but I added these conditionals just because
the kernel size can be reduced (a bit, obviously) if kexec is
not needed.
So instead of removing the conditional around ipi_cpu_crash_stop(),
an empty definition will be added for !CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE.

not needed.
So instead of removing the conditional around ipi_cpu_crash_stop(),
an empty definition will be added for !CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE.

Add this to reserve_elfcorehdr()?
Unfortunately, it won't work because this function accesses
elfcorehdr_addr & elfcorehdr_size which are defined only
if CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP.

I started my kdump patches with arm (not arm64) implementation, and
so /proc/iomem is used for consistency. Since my kexec-tools (for arm64)
have to access /proc/iomem to identify usable memory regions on
*UEFI* systems anyway, I didn't think it was odd.

(Please note that UEFI won't expose memory regions information via
a device tree, but via ACPI table.)

Adding those properties to a device tree is quite easy
(and it won't conflict with /proc/iomem), so I'd like 
to defer to arm64 maintainers.

Oops, I must have missed your previous comments. Apologies.

Yes, I know that, and I used to implement the same functionality before.
It did work for dtb-based systems, but not for UEFI(ACPI)-based systems
because UEFI doesn't export memory regions information via a device tree,
but rather via ACPI table. So "/memory" node won't appear.
So I went back with "mem=" command line approach, and later this "/chosen/"
approach.

Well, this property won't conflict with per-"/memory" ones
if we take it that the former, if present, supersedes the latter.
Sophistic?
What about changing the name to usable-memory-limit?
(I know that you have another one, "memory-limit" though.)

Again, I would like to defer to arm64 maintainers.

The linker will remove the unused ipi_cpu_crash_stop since
it is static.  atomic_t waiting_for_crash_ipi also becomes
unused, and I think it will be removed also.  The motivation
for these changes is to get a build test of this code
even when CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=n.

The linker will remove the unused ipi_cpu_crash_stop since
it is static.  atomic_t waiting_for_crash_ipi also becomes
unused, and I think it will be removed also.  The motivation
for these changes is to get a build test of this code
even when CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=n.

No problem.

Ah, I didn't realize there could be dtb and UEFI systems.

My personal opinion is that having a property with a different name would be 
less confusing, but it's not a strong opinion.

I would suggest calling it usable-memory-range, but I'm fine with whatever 
is decided by the maintainers.
