This series introduces a 'dumpable' flag on struct reserved_mem and a MEMBLOCK_NODUMP flag in memblock to filter vmcore ELF header on DT-based architectures (arm64, riscv, loongarch). Reserved regions default to non-dumpable and are marked MEMBLOCK_NODUMP so kdump omits them; reusable CMA regions are explicitly marked dumpable in rmem_cma_setup() because their pages are handed back to the buddy allocator and may carry crash-relevant data. Since the reserved memory regions are filtered out, the vmcore is smaller in size and faster to produce. ACPI systems already filter reserved memory out of the vmcore through their existing path; only DT-based systems currently fail to filter these regions, which is what this series addresses. The flag lives in memblock itself rather than in a DT-only structure, so the mechanism is generic and both ACPI and DT systems can benefit from it (suggested by Rob, thanks). The series is based on linux-next and is organized as follows: Patches 1-2: Introduce MEMBLOCK_NODUMP in memblock and the dumpable flag on struct reserved_mem. Patches 3-4: Mark non-dumpable /reserved-memory and /memreserve/ entries with MEMBLOCK_NODUMP. Patch 5: Switch riscv to memblock so the NODUMP flag is visible to the vmcore ELF header builder; add (KEXEC_FILE && CRASH_DUMP) to riscv's ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK condition. Patches 6-8: Fold the duplicated per-arch memblock walks into the weak defaults in crash_core, switch to for_each_mem_region(), and exclude MEMBLOCK_NODUMP regions from the vmcore ELF header. v4 --> v5: 1. Rework the mechanism around a memblock-level MEMBLOCK_NODUMP flag (suggested by Rob) instead of the v4 opt-in 'dumpable' flag on DT-only struct reserved_mem. 2. Switch the riscv vmcore elf header preparation to use memblock instead of the resource tree, aligning it with arm64 and loongarch, so riscv also can exclude reserved memory from vmcore. 3. Deduplicate the vmcore elf header preparation: arm64, riscv and loongarch open-coded the same logic, so fold it into shared __weak defaults in crash_core. 4. Drop the v4 patch that saved /memreserve/ entries into the reserved_mem array; /memreserve/ is now marked MEMBLOCK_NODUMP directly. v3 --> v4: 1. Rebase this series on v7.2-rc1. 2. Add two cleanup patches (patch 02/03). 3. Simplify patch 03 to avoid checking whether initial_boot_params is NULL multiple times, suggested by Rob. v2 --> v3: 1. Fix out-of-bounds issue if device tree lacks /reserved-memory node.[2] 2. Fix UAF issue when alloc_reserved_mem_array() fails. 3. Add some prepare patches. v1 --> v2: 1. v1 added an opt-out DT property ('linux,no-dump'). Per Rob's feedback [1], v2 drop that property and exclude reserve memory by default. 2. Split some prepared patches from the original patches. 3. Address coding-style comments on patch 5 from Rob.
