Subject: [PATCH v5 7/8] x86/crash: Add x86 crash hotplug support for kexec_file_load
Date: Thu,  3 Mar 2022 11:27:24 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220303162725.49640-8-eric.devolder@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220303162725.49640-1-eric.devolder@oracle.com>

For x86_64, when CPU or memory is hot un/plugged, the crash
elfcorehdr, which describes the CPUs and memory in the system,
must also be updated.

To update the elfcorehdr for x86_64, a new elfcorehdr must be
generated from the available CPUs and memory. The new elfcorehdr
is prepared into a buffer, and if no errors occur, it is
installed over the top of the existing elfcorehdr.

In the patch 'crash hp: exclude elfcorehdr from the segment digest'
the need to update purgatory due to the change in elfcorehdr was
eliminated.  As a result, no changes to purgatory or boot_params
(as the elfcorehdr= kernel command line parameter pointer
remains unchanged and correct) are needed, just elfcorehdr.

To accommodate a growing number of resources via hotplug, the
elfcorehdr segment must be sufficiently large enough to accommodate
changes, see the CRASH_HOTPLUG_ELFCOREHDR_SZ configure item.

With this change, the kexec_file_load syscall (not kexec_load)
is supported. When loading the crash kernel via kexec_file_load,
the elfcorehdr is identified at load time in crash_load_segments().
