[PATCH v7 0/5] arm64/riscv: Add support for crashkernel CMA reservation

[PATCH v7 0/5] arm64/riscv: Add support for crashkernel CMA reservation

[Jinjie Ruan]

The crash memory allocation, and the exclude of crashk_res, crashk_low_res
and crashk_cma memory are almost identical across different architectures,
This patch set handle them in crash core in a general way, which eliminate
a lot of duplication code.

And add support for crashkernel CMA reservation for arm64 and riscv.

Rebased on v7.0-rc1.

Basic second kernel boot test were performed on QEMU platforms for x86, ARM64,
and RISC-V architectures with the following parameters:

	"cma=256M crashkernel=256M crashkernel=64M,cma"

Changes in v7:
- Correct the inclusion of CMA-reserved ranges for kdump kernel in of/kexec
  for arm64 and riscv.
- Add Acked-by.

Changes in v6:
- Update the crash core exclude code as Mike suggested.
- Rebased on v7.0-rc1.
- Add acked-by.
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260212101001.343158-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/

Changes in v5:
- Fix the kernel test robot build warnings.
- Sort crash memory ranges before preparing elfcorehdr for powerpc
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260209095931.2813152-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/

Changes in v4:
- Move the size calculation (and the realloc if needed) into the
  generic crash.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260204093728.1447527-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/

[PATCH v7 1/5] powerpc/crash: sort crash memory ranges before preparing elfcorehdr

[Jinjie Ruan]

From: Sourabh Jain <sourabhjain@linux.ibm.com>

During a memory hot-remove event, the elfcorehdr is rebuilt to exclude
the removed memory. While updating the crash memory ranges for this
operation, the crash memory ranges array can become unsorted. This
happens because remove_mem_range() may split a memory range into two
parts and append the higher-address part as a separate range at the end
of the array.

So far, no issues have been observed due to the unsorted crash memory
ranges. However, this could lead to problems once crash memory range
removal is handled by generic code, as introduced in the upcoming
patches in this series.

Currently, powerpc uses a platform-specific function,
remove_mem_range(), to exclude hot-removed memory from the crash memory
ranges. This function performs the same task as the generic
crash_exclude_mem_range() in crash_core.c. The generic helper also
ensures that the crash memory ranges remain sorted. So remove the
redundant powerpc-specific implementation and instead call
crash_exclude_mem_range_guarded() (which internally calls
crash_exclude_mem_range()) to exclude the hot-removed memory ranges.

[PATCH v7 2/5] crash: Exclude crash kernel memory in crash core

[Jinjie Ruan]

The crash memory alloc, and the exclude of crashk_res, crashk_low_res
and crashk_cma memory are almost identical across different architectures,
handling them in the crash core would eliminate a lot of duplication, so
do them in the common code.

To achieve the above goal, three architecture-specific functions are
introduced:

- arch_get_system_nr_ranges(). Pre-counts the max number of memory ranges.

- arch_crash_populate_cmem(). Collects the memory ranges and fills them
  into cmem.

- arch_crash_exclude_ranges(). Architecture's additional crash memory
  ranges exclusion, defaulting to empty.

[PATCH v7 3/5] crash: Use crash_exclude_core_ranges() on powerpc

[Jinjie Ruan]

The crash memory exclude of crashk_res and crashk_cma memory on powerpc
are almost identical to the generic crash_exclude_core_ranges().

By introducing the architecture-specific arch_crash_exclude_mem_range()
function with a default implementation of crash_exclude_mem_range(),
and using crash_exclude_mem_range_guarded as powerpc's separate
implementation, the generic crash_exclude_core_ranges() helper function
can be reused.

It seems the declaration of crash_exclude_mem_range_guarded() added in
arch/powerpc/include/asm/kexec_ranges.h can also be removed.

[PATCH v7 4/5] arm64: kexec: Add support for crashkernel CMA reservation

[Jinjie Ruan]

Commit 35c18f2933c5 ("Add a new optional ",cma" suffix to the
crashkernel= command line option") and commit ab475510e042 ("kdump:
implement reserve_crashkernel_cma") added CMA support for kdump
crashkernel reservation.

Crash kernel memory reservation wastes production resources if too
large, risks kdump failure if too small, and faces allocation difficulties
on fragmented systems due to contiguous block constraints. The new
CMA-based crashkernel reservation scheme splits the "large fixed
reservation" into a "small fixed region + large CMA dynamic region": the
CMA memory is available to userspace during normal operation to avoid
waste, and is reclaimed for kdump upon crash—saving memory while
improving reliability.

So extend crashkernel CMA reservation support to arm64. The following
changes are made to enable CMA reservation:

- Parse and obtain the CMA reservation size along with other crashkernel
  parameters.
- Call reserve_crashkernel_cma() to allocate the CMA region for kdump.
- Include the CMA-reserved ranges for kdump kernel to use.
- Exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the crash kernel memory to
  prevent them from being exported through /proc/vmcore, which is already
  done in the crash core.

Update kernel-parameters.txt to document CMA support for crashkernel on
arm64 architecture.

v7:
- Correct the inclusion of CMA-reserved ranges for kdump
  kernel in of/kexec.
v3:
- Add Acked-by.
v2:
- Free cmem in prepare_elf_headers()
- Add the mtivation.

[PATCH v7 5/5] riscv: kexec: Add support for crashkernel CMA reservation

[Jinjie Ruan]

Commit 35c18f2933c5 ("Add a new optional ",cma" suffix to the
crashkernel= command line option") and commit ab475510e042 ("kdump:
implement reserve_crashkernel_cma") added CMA support for kdump
crashkernel reservation. This allows the kernel to dynamically allocate
contiguous memory for crash dumping when needed, rather than permanently
reserving a fixed region at boot time.

So extend crashkernel CMA reservation support to riscv. The following
changes are made to enable CMA reservation:

- Parse and obtain the CMA reservation size along with other crashkernel
  parameters.
- Call reserve_crashkernel_cma() to allocate the CMA region for kdump.
- Include the CMA-reserved ranges for kdump kernel to use, which was
  already done in of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt().
- Exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the crash kernel memory to
  prevent them from being exported through /proc/vmcore, which was
  already done in the crash core.

Update kernel-parameters.txt to document CMA support for crashkernel on
riscv architecture.
