Subject: [PATCH v2 3/8] hw/ppc: Trigger Fadump boot if fadump is registered
Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2025 00:53:36 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250313192341.132171-4-adityag@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250313192341.132171-1-adityag@linux.ibm.com>
According to PAPR:
R1–7.3.30–3. When the platform receives an ibm,os-term RTAS call, or
on a system reset without an ibm,nmi-interlock RTAS call, if the
platform has a dump structure registered through the
ibm,configure-kernel-dump call, the platform must process each
registered kernel dump section as required and, when available,
present the dump structure information to the operating system
through the “ibm,kernel-dump” property, updated with status for each
dump section, until the dump has been invalidated through the
ibm,configure-kernel-dump RTAS call.
If Fadump has been registered, trigger an Fadump boot (memory preserving
boot), if QEMU recieves a 'ibm,os-term' rtas call.
Implementing the fadump boot as:
* pause all vcpus (will need to save registers later)
* preserve memory regions specified by fadump (will be implemented
in future)
* do a memory preserving reboot (GUEST_RESET in QEMU doesn't clear
the memory)
Memory regions registered by fadump will be handled in a later patch.
Note: Preserving memory regions is not implemented yet so on an
"ibm,os-term" call will just trigger a reboot in QEMU if fadump is
registered, and the second kernel will boot as a normal boot (not
fadump boot)
