[PATCH v3 00/13] refactor Kconfig to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options

[PATCH v3 00/13] refactor Kconfig to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options

[Eric DeVolder]

The Kconfig is refactored to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options from
various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec.

The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features"
located under "General Setup".

The following options are impacted:

 - KEXEC
 - KEXEC_FILE
 - KEXEC_SIG
 - KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
 - KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
 - KEXEC_JUMP
 - CRASH_DUMP

Over time, these options have been copied between Kconfig files and
are very similar to one another, but with slight differences.

The following architectures are impacted by the refactor (because of
use of one or more KEXEC/CRASH options):

 - arm
 - arm64
 - ia64
 - loongarch
 - m68k
 - mips
 - parisc
 - powerpc
 - riscv
 - s390
 - sh
 - x86 

More information:

In the patch series "crash: Kernel handling of CPU and memory hot
un/plug"

 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230503224145.7405-1-eric.devolder@oracle.com/

the new kernel feature introduces the config option CRASH_HOTPLUG.

In reviewing, Thomas Gleixner requested that the new config option
not be placed in x86 Kconfig. Rather the option needs a generic/common
home. To Thomas' point, the KEXEC and CRASH options have largely been
duplicated in the various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files, with minor
differences. This kind of proliferation is to be avoid/stopped.

 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/875y91yv63.ffs@tglx/

To that end, I have refactored the arch Kconfigs so as to consolidate
the various KEXEC and CRASH options. Generally speaking, this work has
the following themes:

- KEXEC and CRASH options are moved into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec
  - These items from arch/Kconfig:
      CRASH_CORE KEXEC_CORE KEXEC_ELF HAVE_IMA_KEXEC
  - These items from arch/x86/Kconfig form the common options:
      KEXEC KEXEC_FILE KEXEC_SIG KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
      KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG KEXEC_JUMP CRASH_DUMP
  - The crash hotplug series appends CRASH_HOTPLUG to Kconfig.kexec
  NOTE: PHYSICAL_START could be argued to be included in this series.
- The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features"
- The Kconfig.kexec is now listed in "General Setup" submenu from
  init/Kconfig
- To control the main common options, new options ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC,
  ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE and ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP are introduced.
  NOTE: The existing ARCH_HAS_KEXEC_PURGATORY remains unchanged.
- To account for the slight differences, new options ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC,
  ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE and ARCH_SELECTS_CRASH_DUMP are used to
  elicit the same side effects as the original arch/<arch>/Kconfig
  files for KEXEC and CRASH options.

An example, 'make menuconfig' illustrating the submenu:

  > General setup > Kexec and crash features
  [*] Enable kexec system call
  [*] Enable kexec file based system call
  [*]   Verify kernel signature during kexec_file_load() syscall
  [ ]     Require a valid signature in kexec_file_load() syscall
  [ ]     Enable bzImage signature verification support
  [*] kexec jump
  [*] kernel crash dumps
  [*]   Update the crash elfcorehdr on system configuration changes

The three main options are KEXEC, KEXEC_FILE and CRASH_DUMP. In the
process of consolidating these options, I encountered slight differences
in the coding of these options in several of the architectures. As a
result, I settled on the following solution:

- Each of three main options has a 'depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>'
  statement: ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC, ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE,
  ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP.

  For example, the KEXEC_FILE option has a 'depends on
  ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE' statement.

- The boolean ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> in effect allows the arch to
  determine when the feature is allowed.  Archs which don't have the
  feature simply do not provide the corresponding ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>.
  For each arch, where there previously were KEXEC and/or CRASH
  options, these have been replaced with the corresponding boolean
  ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>, and an appropriate def_bool statement.

  For example, if the arch supports KEXEC_FILE, then the
  ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE simply has a 'def_bool y'. This permits the
  KEXEC_FILE option to be available.

  If the arch has a 'depends on' statement in its original coding
  of the option, then that expression becomes part of the def_bool
  expression. For example, arm64 had:

  config KEXEC
    depends on PM_SLEEP_SMP

  and in this solution, this converts to:

  config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
    def_bool PM_SLEEP_SMP


- In order to account for the differences in the config coding for
  the three common options, the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> is used.
  This options has a 'depends on <option>' statement to couple it
  to the main option, and from there can insert the differences
  from the common option and the arch original coding of that option.

  For example, a few archs enable CRYPTO and CRYTPO_SHA256 for
  KEXEC_FILE. These require a ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE and
  'select CRYPTO' and 'select CRYPTO_SHA256' statements.

Illustrating the option relationships:

For KEXEC:
 ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC <- KEXEC <- ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC

 KEXEC                      # in Kconfig.kexec
 ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC        # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed
 ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC         # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed


For KEXEC_FILE:
 ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE <- KEXEC_FILE <- ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE

 KEXEC_FILE                 # in Kconfig.kexec
 ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE   # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed
 ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE    # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed


For CRASH:
 ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP <- CRASH_DUMP <- ARCH_SELECTS_CRASH_DUMP

 CRASH_DUMP                 # in Kconfig.kexec
 ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP   # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed
 ARCH_SELECTS_CRASH_DUMP    # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed

To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be
enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie.
select statements).

Testing Approach and Results

There are 388 config files in the arch/<arch>/configs directories.
For each of these config files, a .config is generated both before and
after this Kconfig series, and checked for equivalence. This approach
allows for a rather rapid check of all architectures and a wide
variety of configs wrt/ KEXEC and CRASH, and avoids requiring
compiling for all architectures and running kernels and run-time
testing.

As such, the following script steps compare the before and after
of 'make olddefconfig'. The new symbols introduced by this series
are filtered out, but otherwise the config files are PASS only if
they were equivalent, and FAIL otherwise.

The script performs the test by doing the following:

 # Obtain the "golden" .config output for given config file
 # Reset test sandbox
 git checkout master
 git branch -D test_Kconfig
 git checkout -B test_Kconfig master
 make distclean
 # Write out updated config
 cp -f <config file> .config
 make ARCH=<arch> olddefconfig
 # Track each item in .config, LHSB is "golden"
 scoreboard .config 

 # Obtain the "changed" .config output for given config file
 # Reset test sandbox
 make distclean
 # Apply this Kconfig series
 git am <this Kconfig series>
 # Write out updated config
 cp -f <config file> .config
 make ARCH=<arch> olddefconfig
 # Track each item in .config, RHSB is "changed"
 scoreboard .config 

 # Determine test result
 # Filter-out new symbols introduced by this series
 # Filter-out symbol=n which not in either scoreboard
 # Compare LHSB "golden" and RHSB "changed" scoreboards and issue PASS/FAIL

The script was instrumental during the refactoring of Kconfig as it
continually revealed problems. The end result being that the solution
presented in this series passes all configs as checked by the script.

eric

[PATCH v3 01/13] kexec: consolidate kexec and crash options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec

[Eric DeVolder]

The config options for kexec and crash features are consolidated
into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec. Under the "General Setup" submenu
is a new submenu "Kexec and crash handling". All the kexec and
crash options that were once in the arch-dependent submenu "Processor
type and features" are now consolidated in the new submenu.

The following options are impacted:

 - KEXEC
 - KEXEC_FILE
 - KEXEC_SIG
 - KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
 - KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
 - KEXEC_JUMP
 - CRASH_DUMP

The three main options are KEXEC, KEXEC_FILE and CRASH_DUMP.

Architectures specify support of certain KEXEC and CRASH features with
similarly named new ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> config options.

Architectures can utilize the new ARCH_SELECTS_<option> config
options to specify additional components when <option> is enabled.

To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be
enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie.
select statements).

[PATCH v3 12/13] s390/kexec: refactor for kernel/Kconfig.kexec

[Eric DeVolder]

The kexec and crash kernel options are provided in the common
kernel/Kconfig.kexec. Utilize the common options and provide
the ARCH_SUPPORTS_ and ARCH_SELECTS_ entries to recreate the
equivalent set of KEXEC and CRASH options.

NOTE: The original Kconfig has a KEXEC_SIG which depends on
MODULE_SIG_FORMAT. However, attempts to keep the MODULE_SIG_FORMAT
dependency (using the strategy outlined in this series, and other
techniques) results in 'error: recursive dependency detected'
on CRYPTO.

Per Alexander Gordeev <agordeev@linux.ibm.com>: "the MODULE_SIG_FORMAT
dependency was introduced with [git commit below] and in fact was not
necessary, since s390 did/does not use mod_check_sig() anyway.

 commit c8424e776b09 ("MODSIGN: Export module signature definitions")

MODULE_SIG_FORMAT is needed to select SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION. But
SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION is also selected by FS_VERITY*, so dropping
MODULE_SIG_FORMAT does not hurt."

Therefore, the solution is to drop the MODULE_SIG_FORMAT dependency
from KEXEC_SIG. Still results in equivalent .config files for s390.

[PATCH v3 13/13] sh/kexec: refactor for kernel/Kconfig.kexec

[Eric DeVolder]

The kexec and crash kernel options are provided in the common
kernel/Kconfig.kexec. Utilize the common options and provide
the ARCH_SUPPORTS_ and ARCH_SELECTS_ entries to recreate the
equivalent set of KEXEC and CRASH options.

Is this last paragraph still true? Is the hardware interface still
"strongly in flux" ?

Russell,
In short, I don't know. Specifically with respect to the verbage you point out, it was
present in most of the original Kconfig descriptions. Some archs are probably in better
shape than others, but overall I've always see people issue caution statements around
kexec/kdump.

I find this diff a little hard to follow (since the other half off the
change is in another patch), so it may be me missing something, but are
you sure?

This looks like a change to me. Previously, only KEXEC_PURGATORY
required these crypto options to be like so, but now KEXEC_FILE needs
them too.

What am I missing?

Conor.

Conor,
Thanks for looking at this! Indeed I erroneously applied the CRYPTO=y && CRYPTO_SHA256=y
to KEXEC_FILE rather than PURGATORY. I will correct for v4!
Thanks!
