      powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernel · 54622f10
      Mohan Kumar M 提交于
      This adds relocatable kernel support for kdump. With this one can
      use the same regular kernel to capture the kdump. A signature (0xfeed1234)
      is passed in r6 from panic code to the next kernel through kexec_sequence
      and purgatory code. The signature is used to differentiate between
      kdump kernel and non-kdump kernels.
      
      The purgatory code compares the signature and sets the __kdump_flag in
      head_64.S.  During the boot up, kernel code checks __kdump_flag and if it
      is set, the kernel will behave as relocatable kdump kernel. This kernel
      will boot at the address where it was loaded by kexec-tools ie. at the
      address reserved through crashkernel boot parameter.
      
      CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depends on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE option to build kdump
      kernel as relocatable. So the same kernel can be used as production and
      kdump kernel.
      
      This patch incorporates the changes suggested by Paul Mackerras to avoid
      GOT use and to avoid two copies of the code.

      kexec jump · 3ab83521
      Huang Ying 提交于
      This patch provides an enhancement to kexec/kdump.  It implements the
      following features:
      
      - Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after
        kexec.
      
      - Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec.
      
      The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in
      physical mode (paging turning off).  This can be used to call BIOS code under
      Linux.
      
      kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and
      the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL:
      
             source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2
             patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2
             binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10
      
      Usage example of calling some physical mode code and return:
      
      1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected:
      
      CONFIG_X86_32=y
      CONFIG_KEXEC=y
      CONFIG_PM=y
      CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y
      
      2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one.
      
      3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode"
      
      4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1.
      
      5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command
         line can be as follow:
      
         /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode
      
      6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line:
      
         /sbin/kexec -e
      
      Implementation point:
      
      To support jumping without reserving memory.  One shadow backup page (source
      page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination
      page).  When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source
      pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are
      swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped.  Before jumping
      to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the
      destination pages and the source pages are swapped too.
      
      C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between
      kernel and called code.
      
      A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to
      indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back.
      
      Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

      [POWERPC] Fix crashkernel= handling when no crashkernel= specified · eabd9094
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      Commit edd8ce67 (Use extended crashkernel
      command line on ppc64), changed the logic in reserve_crashkernel()
      which deals with the crashkernel= command line option.
      
      This introduced a bug in the case when there is no crashkernel= option,
      or it is incorrect.  We would fall through and calculate the crash_size
      based on the existing values in crashk_res.  If both start and end are 0,
      the default, we calculate the crash_size as 1 byte - which is wrong.
      
      Rework the logic so that we use crashk_res, regardless of whether it's
      set by the command line or via the device tree (see prom.c).  Then check
      if we have an empty range (end == start), and if so make sure to set
      both end and start to zero (this is checked in machine_kexec_64.c).  Then
      we calculate the crash_size once we know we have a non-zero range.
      
      Finally we always want to warn the user if they specify a base != 32MB,
      so remove the special case for that in the command line parsing case.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Merge kexec · 3d1229d6
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      This patch merges, to some extent, the PPC32 and PPC64 kexec implementations.
      
      We adopt the PPC32 approach of having ppc_md callbacks for the kexec functions.
      The current PPC64 implementation becomes the "default" implementation for PPC64
      which platforms can select if they need no special treatment.
      
      I've added these default callbacks to pseries/maple/cell/powermac, this means
      iSeries no longer supports kexec - but it never worked anyway.
      
      I've renamed PPC32's machine_kexec_simple to default_machine_kexec, inline with
      PPC64. Judging by the comments it might be better named machine_kexec_non_of,
      or something, but at the moment it's the only implementation for PPC32 so it's
      the "default".
      
      Kexec requires machine_shutdown(), which is in machine_kexec.c on PPC32, but we
      already have in setup-common.c on powerpc. All this does is call
      ppc_md.nvram_sync, which only powermac implements, so instead make
      machine_shutdown a ppc_md member and have it call core99_nvram_sync directly
      on powermac.
      
      I've also stuck relocate_kernel.S into misc_32.S for powerpc.
      
      Built for ARCH=ppc, and 32 & 64 bit ARCH=powerpc, with KEXEC=y/n. Booted on
      P5 LPAR and successfully kexec'ed.
      
      Should apply on top of 493f25ef.
