and Manish Ahuja, with few changes to reflect the current implementation.
Change in v3:
- Modified the documentation to reflect introdunction of fadump_registered
sysfs file and few minor changes.
Change in v2:
- Modified the documentation to reflect the change of fadump_region
file under debugfs filesystem.

+
+ Firmware-Assisted Dump
+ ------------------------
+ July 2011
+
+The goal of firmware-assisted dump is to enable the dump of
+a crashed system, and to do so from a fully-reset system, and
+to minimize the total elapsed time until the system is back
+in production use.
+
+Comparing with kdump or other strategies, firmware-assisted
+dump offers several strong, practical advantages:
+
+-- Unlike kdump, the system has been reset, and loaded
+ with a fresh copy of the kernel. In particular,
+ PCI and I/O devices have been reinitialized and are
+ in a clean, consistent state.
+-- Once the dump is copied out, the memory that held the dump
+ is immediately available to the running kernel. A further
+ reboot isn't required.
+
+The above can only be accomplished by coordination with,
+and assistance from the Power firmware. The procedure is
+as follows:
+
+-- The first kernel registers the sections of memory with the
+ Power firmware for dump preservation during OS initialization.
+ These registered sections of memory are reserved by the first
+ kernel during early boot.
+
+-- When a system crashes, the Power firmware will save
+ the low memory (boot memory of size larger of 5% of system RAM
+ or 256MB) of RAM to the previous registered region. It will
+ also save system registers, and hardware PTE's.
+
+ NOTE: The term 'boot memory' means size of the low memory chunk
+ that is required for a kernel to boot successfully when
+ booted with restricted memory. By default, the boot memory
+ size will be the larger of 5% of system RAM or 256MB.
+ Alternatively, user can also specify boot memory size
+ through boot parameter 'fadump_reserve_mem=' which will
+ override the default calculated size.
+
+-- After the low memory (boot memory) area has been saved, the
+ firmware will reset PCI and other hardware state. It will
+ *not* clear the RAM. It will then launch the bootloader, as
+ normal.
+
+-- The freshly booted kernel will notice that there is a new
+ node (ibm,dump-kernel) in the device tree, indicating that
+ there is crash data available from a previous boot. During
+ the early boot OS will reserve rest of the memory above
+ boot memory size effectively booting with restricted memory
+ size. This will make sure that the second kernel will not
+ touch any of the dump memory area.
+
+-- User-space tools will read /proc/vmcore to obtain the contents
+ of memory, which holds the previous crashed kernel dump in ELF
+ format. The userspace tools may copy this info to disk, or
+ network, nas, san, iscsi, etc. as desired.
+
+-- Once the userspace tool is done saving dump, it will echo
+ '1' to /sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem to release the reserved
+ memory back to general use, except the memory required for
+ next firmware-assisted dump registration.
+
+ e.g.
+ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem
+
+Please note that the firmware-assisted dump feature
+is only available on Power6 and above systems with recent
+firmware versions.
+
+Implementation details:
+----------------------
+
+During boot, a check is made to see if firmware supports
+this feature on that particular machine. If it does, then
+we check to see if an active dump is waiting for us. If yes
+then everything but boot memory size of RAM is reserved during
+early boot (See Fig. 2). This area is released once we finish
+collecting the dump from user land scripts (e.g. kdump scripts)
+that are run. If there is dump data, then the
+/sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem file is created, and the reserved
+memory is held.
+
+If there is no waiting dump data, then only the memory required
+to hold CPU state, HPTE region, boot memory dump and elfcore
+header, is reserved at the top of memory (see Fig. 1). This area
+is *not* released: this region will be kept permanently reserved,
+so that it can act as a receptacle for a copy of the boot memory
+content in addition to CPU state and HPTE region, in the case a
+crash does occur.

+
+Currently the dump will be copied from /proc/vmcore to a
+a new file upon user intervention. The dump data available through
+/proc/vmcore will be in ELF format. Hence the existing kdump
+infrastructure (kdump scripts) to save the dump works fine with
+minor modifications.
+
+The tools to examine the dump will be same as the ones
+used for kdump.
+
+How to enable firmware-assisted dump (fadump):
+-------------------------------------
+
+1. Set config option CONFIG_FA_DUMP=y and build kernel.
+2. Boot into linux kernel with 'fadump=1' kernel cmdline option.
+3. Optionally, user can also set 'fadump_reserve_mem=' kernel cmdline
+ to specify size of the memory to reserve for boot memory dump
+ preservation.
+
+NOTE: If firmware-assisted dump fails to reserve memory then it will
+ fallback to existing kdump mechanism if 'crashkernel=' option
+ is set at kernel cmdline.
+
+Sysfs/debugfs files:
+------------
+
+Firmware-assisted dump feature uses sysfs file system to hold
+the control files and debugfs file to display memory reserved region.
+
+Here is the list of files under kernel sysfs:
+
+ /sys/kernel/fadump_enabled
+
+ This is used to display the fadump status.
+ 0 = fadump is disabled
+ 1 = fadump is enabled
+
+ /sys/kernel/fadump_registered
+
+ This is used to display the fadump registration status as well
+ as to control (start/stop) the fadump registration.
+ 0 = fadump is not registered.
+ 1 = fadump is registered and ready to handle system crash.
+
+ To register fadump echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fadump_registered and
+ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fadump_registered for un-register and stop the
+ fadump. Once the fadump is un-registered, the system crash will not
+ be handled and vmcore will not be captured.
+
+ /sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem
+
+ This file is available only when fadump is active during
+ second kernel. This is used to release the reserved memory
+ region that are held for saving crash dump. To release the
+ reserved memory echo 1 to it:
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem
+
+ After echo 1, the content of the /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/fadump_region
+ file will change to reflect the new memory reservations.
+
+Here is the list of files under powerpc debugfs:
+(Assuming debugfs is mounted on /sys/kernel/debug directory.)
+
+ /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/fadump_region
+
+ This file shows the reserved memory regions if fadump is
+ enabled otherwise this file is empty. The output format
+ is:
+ <region>: [<start>-<end>] <reserved-size> bytes, Dumped: <dump-size>
+
+ e.g.
+ Contents when fadump is registered during first kernel
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/fadump_region
+ CPU : [0x0000006ffb0000-0x0000006fff001f] 0x40020 bytes, Dumped: 0x0
+ HPTE: [0x0000006fff0020-0x0000006fff101f] 0x1000 bytes, Dumped: 0x0
+ DUMP: [0x0000006fff1020-0x0000007fff101f] 0x10000000 bytes, Dumped: 0x0
+
+ Contents when fadump is active during second kernel
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/fadump_region
+ CPU : [0x0000006ffb0000-0x0000006fff001f] 0x40020 bytes, Dumped: 0x40020
+ HPTE: [0x0000006fff0020-0x0000006fff101f] 0x1000 bytes, Dumped: 0x1000
+ DUMP: [0x0000006fff1020-0x0000007fff101f] 0x10000000 bytes, Dumped: 0x10000000
+ : [0x00000010000000-0x0000006ffaffff] 0x5ffb0000 bytes, Dumped: 0x5ffb0000
+
+NOTE: Please refer to Documentation/filesystems/debugfs.txt on
+ how to mount the debugfs filesystem.
+
+
+TODO:
+-----
+ o Need to come up with the better approach to find out more
+ accurate boot memory size that is required for a kernel to
+ boot successfully when booted with restricted memory.
+ o The fadump implementation introduces a fadump crash info structure
+ in the scratch area before the ELF core header. The idea of introducing
+ this structure is to pass some important crash info data to the second
+ kernel which will help second kernel to populate ELF core header with
+ correct data before it gets exported through /proc/vmcore. The current
+ design implementation does not address a possibility of introducing
+ additional fields (in future) to this structure without affecting
+ compatibility. Need to come up with the better approach to address this.
+ The possible approaches are:
+ 1. Introduce version field for version tracking, bump up the version
+ whenever a new field is added to the structure in future. The version
+ field can be used to find out what fields are valid for the current
+ version of the structure.
+ 2. Reserve the area of predefined size (say PAGE_SIZE) for this
+ structure and have unused area as reserved (initialized to zero)
+ for future field additions.
+ The advantage of approach 1 over 2 is we don't need to reserve extra space.

In general we don't want the changes between successive versions in
the patch description; this information should go below the "---"
line. The patch description should describe how the patch is now and
give any information that will be useful to someone looking at the
resulting git commit later on, but it doesn't need to tell us about
previous versions of the patch that will never appear in the git
history.

I have a general worry about the system making allocations that are
intended to be node-local while it is running with restricted memory
(i.e. after the crash and reboot and before the dump has been written
out and the dump memory freed). Those allocations will probably all
come from one node and thus won't necessarily be on the desired node.
So, for very large systems with significant NUMA characteristics, it
may be desirable (though not required) to reboot after taking the
dump.
What happens about the NUMA information in the kernel -- all the
memory sections, etc.? Do they get set up as normal even though the
second kernel is booting with only a small amount of memory initially?

How come the HPTE region is only 0x1000 (4k) bytes? The hashed page
table (HPT) will be much bigger than this. Is this our way of telling
the hypervisor that we don't care about the HPT? If so, is it
possible to make this region 0 bytes instead of 0x1000?

I have been working on trying to integrate FADUMP with the kdump
infrastructure on distros, which will modify the existing kernel initrd
to capture the vmcore and release the memory at the very early stage
before the switch_root.
However, by default FADUMP will also reboot after capturing vmcore
unless user specifies 'noreboot' option through kdump configuration file.

In FADUMP case, the booting of second kernel after crash is equivalent
to normal kernel bootup and it boots with the knowledge of entire system
RAM with NUMA information. The memblock structure does contain map for
entire system RAM. We just reserve the memory above the bootmem at the
very early stage in the second kernel, so that it remains untouched.

The firmware assisted dump registration fails with "Hardware
error (-1)" when called with HPTE dump section with size 0.
According to PAPR the size returned by ibm,configure-kernel-dump-sizes
node for HPTE dump section is a minimum size for HPTE dump section.
Though PAPR dose not mention this, but after sevaral trial and error, it
looks like the HPTE dump section is one of the mandatory
argument that needs to be passed (with non-zero size) while making
ibm,configure-kernel-dump rtas call.
Thanks,

Reserve the memory during early boot to preserve CPU state data, HPTE region
and RMR region data in case of kernel crash. At the time of crash, powerpc
firmware will store CPU state data, HPTE region data and move RMR region
data to the reserved memory area.
If the firmware-assisted dump fails to reserve the memory, then fallback
to existing kexec-based kdump.
The most of the code implementation to reserve memory has been
adapted from phyp assisted dump implementation written by Linas Vepstas
and Manish Ahuja
Change in v5:
- Merged patch 10/10 which introduces a config option CONFIG_FA_DUMP
for firmware assisted dump feature on Powerpc (ppc64) architecture.
- Increased MIN_BOOT_MEM by 64M to avoid OOM issue during network
dump capture. When kdump infrastructure is configured to save vmcore
over network, we run into OOM issue while loading modules related to
network setup.
Change in v2:
- Modified to use standard pr_debug() macro.
- Modified early_init_dt_scan_fw_dump() to get the size of
"ibm,configure-kernel-dump-sizes" property and use it to iterate through
an array of dump sections.
- Introduced boot option 'fadump_reserve_mem=' to let user specify the
fadump boot memory to be reserved.

What is "RMR"? I don't see anywhere that you explain this acronym.
Is it the same as the RMA (real mode area)?

Is this new fadump infrastructure intended to supersede the existing
phyp dump code? Does it use the same phyp interfaces as phyp dump?
If so, you should probably remove the phyp dump code and config option
as the final patch in your series.

An explanation of "RMR" here, and what the distinction (if any)
between RMR and RMA/RMO is, would help future readers.

It's generally better to use of_read_number() or of_read_ulong() to
parse OF properties, rather than using a structure like this.

You could just say size = memblock_end_of_DRAM() / 20 here; no need to
use do_div, since we won't be using this code on 32-bit platforms.

This shouldn't be KERN_ERR; it's not an error to boot a kernel with
fadump configured in on a machine that doesn't have firmware fadump
support. I don't think we really need any message, but if we have one
it should be KERN_INFO at most.

I think it's usual to allow "on" and "off" as values for this kind of
option. There might be a handy little helper function to parse this
sort of thing (but if there is I don't know what it is called).

Yes, it is the same as the RMA. I think I will replace all RMR/RMO with RMA.

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
This patch registers for firmware-assisted dump using rtas token
ibm,configure-kernel-dump. During registration firmware is informed about
the reserved area where it saves the CPU state data, HPTE table and contents
of RMR region at the time of kernel crash. Apart from this, firmware also
preserves the contents of entire partition memory even if it is not specified
during registration.
This patch also populates sysfs files under /sys/kernel to display
fadump status and reserved memory regions.
Change in v3:
- Re-factored the implementation to work with kdump service start/stop.
Introduce fadump_registered sysfs control file which will be used by
kdump init scripts to start/stop firmware assisted dump. echo 1 to
/sys/kernel/fadump_registered file for fadump registration and
echo 0 to /sys/kernel/fadump_registered file for fadump un-registration.
- Introduced the locking mechanism to handle simultaneous writes to
/sys/kernel/fadump_registered file.
Change in v2:
- Removed few debug print statements.
- Moved the setup_fadump() call from setup_system() and now calling it
subsys_initcall.
- Moved fadump_region attribute under debugfs.
- Clear the TCE entries if firmware assisted dump is active.

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Build the crash memory range list by traversing through system memory during
the first kernel before we register for firmware-assisted dump. After the
successful dump registration, initialize the elfcore header and populate
PT_LOAD program headers with crash memory ranges. The elfcore header is
saved in the scratch area within the reserved memory. The scratch area starts
at the end of the memory reserved for saving RMR region contents. The
scratch area contains fadump crash info structure that contains magic number
for fadump validation and physical address where the eflcore header can be
found. This structure will also be used to pass some important crash info
data to the second kernel which will help second kernel to populate ELF core
header with correct data before it gets exported through /proc/vmcore. Since
the firmware preserves the entire partition memory at the time of crash the
contents of the scratch area will be preserved till second kernel boot.
NOTE: The current design implementation does not address a possibility of
introducing additional fields (in future) to this structure without affecting
compatibility. It's on TODO list to come up with better approach to
address this.
Reserved dump area start => +-------------------------------------+
| CPU state dump data |
+-------------------------------------+
| HPTE region data |
+-------------------------------------+
| RMR region data |
Scratch area start => +-------------------------------------+
| fadump crash info structure { |
| magic nummber |
+------|---- elfcorehdr_addr |
| | } |
+----> +-------------------------------------+
| ELF core header |
Reserved dump area end => +-------------------------------------+
Change in v5:
- Added 'fadump_' prefix to all static functions defined.
Change in v4:
- Move the init_elfcore_header() function and 'memblock_num_regions' macro
from generic code to power specific code as these are used only by
firmware assisted dump implementation which is power specific feature.

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
When registered for firmware assisted dump on powerpc, firmware preserves
the registers for the active CPUs during a system crash. This patch reads
the cpu register data stored in Firmware-assisted dump format (except for
crashing cpu) and converts it into elf notes and updates the PT_NOTE program
header accordingly. The exact register state for crashing cpu is saved to
fadump crash info structure in scratch area during crash_fadump() and read
during second kernel boot.
Change in v5:
- Added 'fadump_' prefix to all static function defined.
Change in v4:
- Fixes a issue where memblock_free() is invoked from build_cpu_notes()
function during error_out path. Invoke cpu_notes_buf_free() in error_out
path instead of memblock_free().
Change in v2:
- Moved the crash_fadump() invocation from generic code to panic notifier.
- Introduced cpu_notes_buf_alloc() function to allocate cpu notes buffer
using get_free_pages(). The reason is, with the use of subsys_initcall
the setup_fadump() is now called after mem_init(). Hence use of
get_free_pages() to allocate memory is more approriate then using
memblock_alloc().

Introduce a PT_NOTE program header that points to physical address of
vmcoreinfo_note buffer declared in kernel/kexec.c. The vmcoreinfo
note buffer is populated during crash_fadump() at the time of system
crash.
Change in v5:
- Added 'fadump_' prefix to static function relocate().

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
With the firmware-assisted dump support we don't require a reboot when we
are in second kernel after crash. The second kernel after crash is a normal
kernel boot and has knowledge about entire system RAM with the page tables
initialized for entire system RAM. Hence once the dump is saved to disk, we
can just release the reserved memory area for general use and continue
with second kernel as production kernel.
Hence when we release the reserved memory that contains dump data, the
'/proc/vmcore' will not be valid anymore. Hence this patch introduces
a cleanup routine that invalidates and removes the /proc/vmcore file. This
routine will be invoked before we release the reserved dump memory area.

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
This patch introduces an sysfs interface '/sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem' to
invalidate the last fadump registration, invalidate '/proc/vmcore', release
the reserved memory for general use and re-register for future kernel dump.
Once the dump is copied to the disk, the userspace tool will echo 1 to
'/sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem'.
Release the reserved memory region excluding the size of the memory required
for future kernel dump registration.
Change in v3:
- Syncronize the fadump invalidation step to handle simultaneous writes to
/sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem.
Change in v2:
- Introduced cpu_notes_buf_free() function to free memory allocated for
cpu notes buffer.
