      arm64: kdump: provide /proc/vmcore file · e62aaeac
      AKASHI Takahiro 提交于
      Arch-specific functions are added to allow for implementing a crash dump
      file interface, /proc/vmcore, which can be viewed as a ELF file.
      
      A user space tool, like kexec-tools, is responsible for allocating
      a separate region for the core's ELF header within crash kdump kernel
      memory and filling it in when executing kexec_load().
      
      Then, its location will be advertised to crash dump kernel via a new
      device-tree property, "linux,elfcorehdr", and crash dump kernel preserves
      the region for later use with reserve_elfcorehdr() at boot time.
      
      On crash dump kernel, /proc/vmcore will access the primary kernel's memory
      with copy_oldmem_page(), which feeds the data page-by-page by ioremap'ing
      it since it does not reside in linear mapping on crash dump kernel.
      
      Meanwhile, elfcorehdr_read() is simple as the region is always mapped.

      crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr,... · 93a72052

      crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn
      
      The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0
      backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in
      connected state.  To run the connection reset function only in case of a
      crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV
      driver modules.
      
      Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into
      kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel()
      usable for modules.
      
      Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param().  This changes powerpc from __setup()
      to early_param().  It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64
      and powerpc.
