[PATCH v13 00/15] arm64/riscv: Add support for crashkernel CMA reservation

[PATCH v13 00/15] 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 v7.1-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=4G crashkernel=64M,cma"

For first kernel, there will be such log:

	# dmesg | grep crash
	[    0.000000] crashkernel low memory reserved: 0xe8000000 - 0xf0000000 (128 MB)
	[    0.000000] crashkernel reserved: 0x000000023e600000 - 0x000000033e600000 (4096 MB)
	[    0.000000] crashkernel CMA reserved: 64 MB in 1 ranges

	# dmesg | grep cma
	[    0.000000] cma: Reserved 256 MiB at 0x00000000f0000000
	[    0.000000] cma: Reserved 64 MiB at 0x0000000100000000

For second kernel, there will be such log:

	[    0.000000] OF: fdt: Looking for usable-memory-range property...
	[    0.000000] OF: fdt: cap_mem_regions[0]: base=0x000000023e600000, size=0x0000000100000000

[PATCH v13 01/15] riscv: kexec_file: Fix crashk_low_res not exclude bug

[Jinjie Ruan]

As done in commit 944a45abfabc ("arm64: kdump: Reimplement crashkernel=X")
and commit 4831be702b95 ("arm64/kexec: Fix missing extra range for
crashkres_low.") for arm64, while implementing crashkernel=X,[high,low],
riscv should have excluded the "crashk_low_res" reserved ranges from
the crash kernel memory to prevent them from being exported through
/proc/vmcore, and the exclusion would need an extra crash_mem range.

Just simply tested on qemu with crashkernel=4G with kexec in [1] mentioned
in [2]. And the second kernel can be started normally.

	# dmesg | grep crash
	[    0.000000] crashkernel low memory reserved: 0xf8000000 - 0x100000000 (128 MB)

[PATCH v13 02/15] powerpc/crash: Fix possible memory leak in update_crash_elfcorehdr()

[Jinjie Ruan]

In get_crash_memory_ranges(), if crash_exclude_mem_range() failed
after realloc_mem_ranges() has successfully allocated the cmem
memory, it just returns an error but leaves cmem pointing to
the allocated memory, nor is it freed in the caller
update_crash_elfcorehdr(), which cause a memory leak, goto out
to free the cmem.

[PATCH v13 03/15] x86/kexec: Fix potential buffer overflow in prepare_elf_headers()

[Jinjie Ruan]

There is a race condition between the kexec_load() system call
(crash kernel loading path) and memory hotplug operations that can lead
to buffer overflow and potential kernel crash.

During prepare_elf_headers(), the following steps occur:
1. get_nr_ram_ranges_callback() queries current System RAM memory ranges
2. Allocates buffer based on queried count
3. prepare_elf64_ram_headers_callback() populates ranges from memblock

If memory hotplug occurs between step 1 and step 3, the number of ranges
can increase, causing out-of-bounds write when populating cmem->ranges[].

This happens because kexec_load() uses kexec_trylock (atomic_t) while
memory hotplug uses device_hotplug_lock (mutex), so they don't serialize
with each other.

Since x86 supports crash hotplug, any data inconsistency caused by
a race during the initial load will be corrected by the subsequent
hotplug update. However, we must prevent a buffer overflow if the
number of memory regions increases between the two passes.

Add a boundary checking in prepare_elf64_ram_headers_callback() to ensure
that the number of populated ranges does not exceed
the allocated maximum.

[PATCH v13 04/15] arm64: kexec_file: Fix potential buffer overflow in prepare_elf_headers()

[Jinjie Ruan]

There is a race condition between the kexec_load() system call
(crash kernel loading path) and memory hotplug operations that can
lead to buffer overflow and potential kernel crash.

During prepare_elf_headers(), the following steps occur:
1. The first for_each_mem_range() queries current System RAM memory ranges
2. Allocates buffer based on queried count
3. The 2st for_each_mem_range() populates ranges from memblock

If memory hotplug occurs between step 1 and step 3, the number of ranges
can increase, causing out-of-bounds write when populating cmem->ranges[].

This happens because kexec_load() uses kexec_trylock (atomic_t) while
memory hotplug uses device_hotplug_lock (mutex), so they don't serialize
with each other.

Add the explicit bounds checking to prevent out-of-bounds access.

It seems you have a TOCTOU type of issue, and this seems to be shrinking
the window, but not fully solving it?

-ENOMEM seems to be the the wrong errno. This isn't an allocation
failure; it's a transient race. -EBUSY or -EAGAIN would be more honest

Hi Breno,

Thanks for your comments regarding the TOCTOU issue.

You are correct that the current bounds checking only "shrinks the
window" and prevents a kernel crash, but doesn't fully guarantee header
consistency if a race occurs.

In my local environment, this race is extremely difficult to reproduce,
but it is theoretically possible.

To address this properly for arm64, I am considering two steps:

- For this patch: I will change the return value to -EAGAIN and keep the
bounds check. This ensures that even if a race happens, the kernel
remains safe (no OOB access), and user-space is notified to retry.

- Long-term solution: A better way to solve this is to implement ARM64
CRASH_HOTPLUG support (similar to x86). With crash hotplug, the kernel
will automatically re-generate the crash headers whenever a memory
hotplug event occurs. This makes the TOCTOU during the initial
kexec_load less critical, as any transient inconsistency will be
immediately corrected by the subsequent hotplug handler.

Does it make sense to you to use this patch as a safety guard first, and
then I (or someone else) follow up with the full CRASH_HOTPLUG support
for arm64 as [1]?

It would be OK for me, but, make it explict that there is a TOCTOU
issue, that depends on CRASH_HOTPLUG.

[PATCH v13 05/15] riscv: kexec_file: Fix potential buffer overflow in prepare_elf_headers()

[Jinjie Ruan]

There is a race condition between the kexec_load() system call
(crash kernel loading path) and memory hotplug operations that can lead
to buffer overflow and potential kernel crash.

During prepare_elf_headers(), the following steps occur:
1. get_nr_ram_ranges_callback() queries current System RAM memory ranges
2. Allocates buffer based on queried count
3. prepare_elf64_ram_headers_callback() populates ranges from memblock

If memory hotplug occurs between step 1 and step 3, the number of ranges
can increase, causing out-of-bounds write when populating cmem->ranges[].

This happens because kexec_load() uses kexec_trylock (atomic_t) while
memory hotplug uses device_hotplug_lock (mutex), so they don't serialize
with each other.

While this works today because RISC-V server hardware with hotplug
support is still rare and most deployments use fixed memory configurations
(e.g., QEMU virt machine), it is technically fragile. So add bounds
checking in prepare_elf64_ram_headers_callback() to prevent
out-of-bounds (OOB) access.

No functional change for current RISC-V deployments, but makes
the code robust against future hotplug-capable platforms.

[PATCH v13 06/15] LoongArch: kexec: Fix potential buffer overflow in prepare_elf_headers()

[Jinjie Ruan]

There is a race condition between the kexec_load() system call
(crash kernel loading path) and memory hotplug operations that can lead
to buffer overflow and potential kernel crash.

During prepare_elf_headers(), the following steps occur:
1. The first for_each_mem_range()  queries current System RAM memory ranges
2. Allocates buffer based on queried count
3. The 2st for_each_mem_range() populates ranges from memblock

If memory hotplug occurs between step 1 and step 3, the number of ranges
can increase, causing out-of-bounds write when populating cmem->ranges[].

This happens because kexec_load() uses kexec_trylock (atomic_t) while
memory hotplug uses device_hotplug_lock (mutex), so they don't serialize
with each other.

Just add bounds checking to prevent out-of-bounds access.

[PATCH v13 07/15] 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 v13 08/15] crash: Add crash_prepare_headers() to exclude crash kernel memory

[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
add crash_prepare_headers() helper to handle 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 v13 09/15] arm64: kexec_file: Use crash_prepare_headers() helper to simplify code

[Jinjie Ruan]

Use the newly introduced crash_prepare_headers() function to replace
the existing prepare_elf_headers(), allocate cmem and exclude crash
kernel memory in the crash core, which reduce code duplication.

Only the following two architecture functions need to be implemented:
- arch_get_system_nr_ranges(). Use for_each_mem_range() to traverse
  and pre-count the max number of memory ranges.

- arch_crash_populate_cmem(). Use for_each_mem_range to traverse
  and collect the memory ranges and fills them into cmem.

[PATCH v13 10/15] x86/kexec: Use crash_prepare_headers() helper to simplify code

[Jinjie Ruan]

Use the newly introduced crash_prepare_headers() function to replace
the existing prepare_elf_headers(), allocate cmem and exclude crash kernel
memory in the crash core, which reduce code duplication.

Only the following three architecture functions need to be implemented:
- arch_get_system_nr_ranges(). Call get_nr_ram_ranges_callback()
  to pre-count the max number of memory ranges.

- arch_crash_populate_cmem(). Use prepare_elf64_ram_headers_callback()
  to collect the memory ranges and fills them into cmem.

- arch_crash_exclude_ranges(). Exclude the low 1M for x86.

By the way, remove the unused "nr_mem_ranges" in
arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event().

[PATCH v13 13/15] 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.

[PATCH v13 14/15] 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.

[PATCH v13 15/15] 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.
