[-- Attachment #1: add-bss-resource --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 8782 bytes --]

This patch adds the BSS to the resource tree just as kernel text and kernel
data are in the resource tree. The main reason behind this is to avoid
crashkernel reservation in that area.

While it's not strictly necessary to have the BSS in the resource tree
(the actual collision detection is done in the reserve_bootmem() function
before), the usage of the BSS resource should be presented to the user
in /proc/iomem just as Kernel data and Kernel code.

Note: The patch currently is only implemented for x86 and ia64 (because
efi_initialize_iomem_resources() has the same signature on i386 and
ia64).

I observed the problem that even when you choose the default 16M as
crashkernel base address and the kernel is very big, the reserved area may
overlap with the kernel BSS. Currently, this is not checked at runtime, so the
kernel just crashes when you load the panic kernel in the sys_kexec call.

This three patches check this at runtime. The patches are against current git,
but with the patches

from -mm tree applied since they are marked to be merged in 2.6.24.

I know that the implementation of both patches is only x86 (i386 and x86-64),
but if you agree that it's the way to go, I'll modify the patch for all
architectures.

Changes compared to last submit:

   1) use BOOTMEM_DEFAULT instead of 0 to improve code readability
      (suggested by Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>)

   2) unreserve memory that got reserved until we detect a duplicate
      reservation (discovered by Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com>)

   3) fix IA64 (didn't compile)

[-- Attachment #1: add-bss-resource --]

This patch adds the BSS to the resource tree just as kernel text and kernel
data are in the resource tree. The main reason behind this is to avoid
crashkernel reservation in that area.

While it's not strictly necessary to have the BSS in the resource tree
(the actual collision detection is done in the reserve_bootmem() function
before), the usage of the BSS resource should be presented to the user
in /proc/iomem just as Kernel data and Kernel code.

Note: The patch currently is only implemented for x86 and ia64 (because
efi_initialize_iomem_resources() has the same signature on i386 and
ia64).

* [patch 2/3] Introduce BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE

[-- Attachment #1: bootmem-alloc --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 7865 bytes --]

This flag changes the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE. If that flag is set, the function returns with
-EBUSY if the memory already has been reserved in the past. This is to
avoid conflicts.

Because it's necessary to unreserve the bootmem if a collision is discovered in
the middle of the area, a rwlock is introduced: only one BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE
caller is possible, but multiple BOOTMEM_DEFAULT callers. But if a
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE caller is in reserve_bootmem_core(), no BOOTMEM_DEFAULT
callers are allowd.

IMPORTANT: The patch is only proof of concept. This means that it's only for
x86 and breaks other architectures. If the patch is ok, I'll change all other
architectures, too.

[-- Attachment #1: bootmem-alloc-use-crashkernel --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3492 bytes --]

This patch uses the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE, introduced in the previous patch,
to avoid conflicts while reserving the memory for the kdump carpture kernel
(crashkernel=).

The modification has been tested on i386.

As should these.  afaik they're the same on all architectures and even if
they have different names on some weird arch, an unused declaration won't
hurt.

See, we keep on adding the same thing over and over again.


These problems are not introduced by your changes, of course.  But we really
should degunk this stuff sometime.

Normally the "no externs in .c" rule doesn't apply to assembler or linker 
script defined labels. That's because the point of the header file is to 
type check them, but there is nothing to type check here.

For linker generated symbols we have sections.h for this purpose.
The above symbols are all available if we do an:
#include <asm/sections.h>

This is the right fix in this case.

The problem is that they're often the wrong type here. E.g. wrong signedness 
etc. I ran into problems in the past where using this required ugly casts.

But then we should fix them instead of working around the problem - no?

Grepping for _text shows that there are plenty of different ways to declare
that symbol extern - this does not look correct.

And I recall that extern char sym[] is considered correct by binutils 
people - but I'm not 100% sure and google did not give me an appropriate hit.

They really don't have a specific type and using the type that happens to be convenient 
to whatever calculation you want to do with it is useful.

An ancient memory tells me that these things are traditionally
declared as plain old int:

extern int start;
extern int edata;

etc.

However
http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?coll=0650&db=man&fname=/usr/share/catman/p_man/cat3/standard/_rt_symbol_table_size.z
disagrees with me.

http://www.psych.upenn.edu/~saul/parasite/man/man3/end.3.html agrees with me

int is probably one of the less useful types. Typical operation is computing
the difference between two symbols in bytes. &int without cast would give
you a useless scaled size.

Yes, I generally prefer char[] - but only because gcc irritatingly
rejects void []...

It's different on every architectures. Some don't have it at all (like
PPC64), and most of them have code_resource and data_resource static.
Instead of making the data on all architectures (that have it) global,
I'd like to make it static on x86.

See my attached patch.



Thanks,

[PATCH] Remove extern declarations for code/data/bss resource

This patch removes the extern struct resource declarations for
data_resource, code_resource and bss_resource on x86 and declares
that three structures as static as done on other architectures like IA64.

On i386, these structures are moved to setup_32.c (from e820_32.c) because
that's code that is not specific to e820 and also required on EFI systems.
That makes the "extern" reference superfluous.

On x86_64, data_resource, code_resource and bss_resource are passed to
e820_reserve_resources() as arguments just as done on i386 and IA64. That also
avoids the "extern" reference and it's possible to make it static.

It's already ... the problem just was that IA64 uses _bss instead of
__bss_start. So I think we should change this. I verified that the
kernel still compiles with the patch below.


Thanks,

[PATCH] Rename _bss to __bss_start

Rename _bss to __bss_start as on other architectures. That makes it possible to
use the <linux/sections.h> instead of own declarations. Also add __bss_stop
because that symbol exists on other architectures.

That patch applies to current git plus kexec-add-bss-to-resource-tree.patch in
-mm tree.
