charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: "linux-riscv" Errors-To: linux-riscv-bounces+linux-riscv=archiver.kernel.org@lists.infradead.org From: Wandun Chen On SoCs that carve out large firmware-owned reserved memory (GPU, camera ISP, ...), kdump currently dumps those carveouts as part of system RAM even though their contents are firmware state that is not useful for kernel crash analysis. This series introduces a MEMBLOCK_NODUMP flag in memblock to filter reserved memory on DT-based architectures (arm64, riscv, loongarch). Reserved regions default are marked MEMBLOCK_NODUMP so kdump omits them; reusable CMA regions are different because their pages are handed back to the buddy allocator and may carry crash-relevant data. 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) [1]. Since the reserved memory regions are filtered out, the vmcore is smaller in size and faster to produce. The series is based on linux-next and is organized as follows: Patches 1-4: Preparation and bugfixes: fix the missing HugeTLB flagname, switch riscv crash_mem to memblock, fold the duplicated per-arch memblock walks into the weak defaults, and serialize crash header preparation against memory hotplug. Patches 5-9: NODUMP infrastructure: switch crash_core to for_each_mem_region(), introduce the MEMBLOCK_NODUMP flag, add a dumpable flag to struct reserved_mem, and mark /reserved-memory and /memreserve/ entries with MEMBLOCK_NODUMP flag. Patch 10: Exclude MEMBLOCK_NODUMP regions from the vmcore ELF header. In v5, Sashiko found some pre-existing issues related to reserved-memory, and has no dependency on this series, so these issues have been addressed in a separate series [2]. v5 --> v6: 1. Serialize crash header preparation against memory hotplug to avoid out-of-bounds or use-after-free issues. 2. MEMBLOCK_NODUMP marking is now done after memblock allows resizing, avoiding a panic from too few regions before resize is permitted. 3. Reordered the patches, put pre-existing bugfixes earlier in the series. 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. 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 [3], 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.
