Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] arm64: handle "reserved" entries in /proc/iomem
Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2019 11:42:29 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191218164232.6086-1-msys.mizuma@gmail.com> (raw)

In recent arm64 kernels, /proc/iomem has an extended file format like:

 40000000-5871ffff : System RAM
   41800000-426affff : Kernel code
   426b0000-42aaffff : reserved
   42ab0000-42c64fff : Kernel data
   54400000-583fffff : Crash kernel
   58590000-585effff : reserved
   58700000-5871ffff : reserved
 58720000-58b5ffff : reserved
 58b60000-5be3ffff : System RAM
   58b61000-58b61fff : reserved

where "reserved" entries can be an ACPI table, UEFI related code or
data. They can be corrupted and result in early failure in booting
a new kernel. As an actual example, LPI pending table and LPI property
table, which are pointed by a UEFI data, are sometimes destroyed.

They are expected to be preserved across kexec'ing.

Changelog:
    v3: - Re-based to the latest commit (bd07796).
        - Added Tested-by tag from Bhupesh and Masayoshi
        - Added an error handling in case
          mem_regions_alloc_and_exclude() fails (0002 patch).

AKASHI Takahiro (3):
  kexec: add variant helper functions for handling memory regions
  arm64: kexec: allocate memory space avoiding reserved regions
  arm64: kdump: deal with a lot of resource entries in /proc/iomem
