[PATCH v2 0/5] kexec/fadump: remove dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC and reuse crashkernel parameter for fadump

[PATCH v2 0/5] kexec/fadump: remove dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC and reuse crashkernel parameter for fadump

[Hari Bathini]

Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash. Some
architectures like powerpc can save vmcore using architecture specific
support instead of kexec/kdump mechanism. Such architecture specific
support also needs to reserve memory, to be used by dump capture kernel.
crashkernel parameter can be a reused, for memory reservation, by such
architecture specific infrastructure.

This patchset removes dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC for crashkernel parameter
and vmcoreinfo related code as it can be reused without kexec support. Also,
crashkernel parameter is reused instead of fadump_reserve_mem to reserve
memory for fadump.

The first patch moves crashkernel parameter parsing and vmcoreinfo related
code under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE instead of CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE. The second patch
reuses the definitions of append_elf_note() & final_note() functions under
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE in IA64 arch code. The third patch removes dependency on
CONFIG_KEXEC for firmware-assisted dump (fadump) in powerpc. The next patch
reuses crashkernel parameter for reserving memory for fadump, instead of the
fadump_reserve_mem parameter. This has the advantage of using all syntaxes
crashkernel parameter supports, for fadump as well. The last patch updates
fadump kernel documentation about use of crashkernel parameter.


Changes from v1:
* Moved arch specify code to seperate patches. Introduced one patch for IA64 arch
  and another patch for powerpc in the process.

[PATCH v2 1/5] crash: move crashkernel parsing and vmcore related code under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE

[Hari Bathini]

Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash. Some
architectures like powerpc can save vmcore using architecture specific
support instead of kexec/kdump mechanism. Such architecture specific
support also needs to reserve memory, to be used by dump capture kernel.
crashkernel parameter can be a reused, for memory reservation, by such
architecture specific infrastructure.

But currently, code related to vmcoreinfo and parsing of crashkernel
parameter is built under CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE. This patch introduces
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE and moves the above mentioned code under this config,
allowing code reuse without dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. There is no
functional change with this patch.

[PATCH v2 2/5] ia64: reuse append_elf_note() and final_note() functions

[Hari Bathini]

Get rid of multiple definitions of append_elf_note() & final_note()
functions. Reuse these functions compiled under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE.

Hi Hari

Personally I like V1 more, but split the patch 2 is easier for ia64
people to reivew.  I did basic x86 testing, it runs ok.

The above IA64 version looks better than the functions in kexec_core.c
about the Elf64_Word type usage and the simpler final_note function.

Care to update crash_core.c to use this instead?

Otherwise I'm fine with the changes.

Hmmm.. Is void* better over Elf64_Word* to be agnostic of Elf32 or Elf64 
type?

Both Elf64_Word and Elf32_Word result in a u32.  So I expect the right
solution is to add a definition of Elf_Word to include/linux/elf.h
and to make the buffer "Elf_Word *buf".

That way we preserve the alignment knowledge, while making the code
depend on 32bit or 64bit.

Thanks for the review, Eric. Will address this in the next version.

As some recent changes in powerpc tree may cause merger conflicts,
I will wait for those changes to get into linus's tree and rebase the
next version on top of that..

[PATCH v2 3/5] powerpc/fadump: remove dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC

[Hari Bathini]

Now that crashkernel parameter parsing and vmcoreinfo related code is
moved under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE instead of CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, remove
dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC for CONFIG_FA_DUMP. While here, get rid
of definitions of fadump_append_elf_note() & fadump_final_note()
functions to reuse similar functions compiled under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE.

[PATCH v2 4/5] powerpc/fadump: reuse crashkernel parameter for fadump memory reservation

[Hari Bathini]

fadump supports specifying memory to reserve for fadump's crash kernel
with fadump_reserve_mem kernel parameter. This parameter currently
supports passing a fixed memory size, like fadump_reserve_mem=<size>
only. This patch aims to add support for other syntaxes like range-based
memory size <range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,<range3>:<size3>,...]
which allows using the same parameter to boot the kernel with different
system RAM sizes.

As crashkernel parameter already supports the above mentioned syntaxes,
this patch deprecates fadump_reserve_mem parameter and reuses crashkernel
parameter instead, to specify memory for fadump's crash kernel memory
reservation as well. If any offset is provided in crashkernel parameter,
it will be ignored in case of fadump, as fadump reserves memory at end
of RAM.

Advantages using crashkernel parameter instead of fadump_reserve_mem
parameter are one less kernel parameter overall, code reuse and support
for multiple syntaxes to specify memory.

[PATCH v2 5/5] powerpc/fadump: update documentation about crashkernel parameter reuse

[Hari Bathini]

As we are reusing crashkernel parameter instead of fadump_reserve_mem
parameter to specify the memory to reserve for fadump's crash kernel,
update the documentation accordingly.
