Both crashk_res and crashk_low_res are used to mark the reserved
crashkernel regions in iomem_resource tree. And later the generic
crashkernel resrvation will be added into crash_core.c. So move
crashk_res and crashk_low_res definition into crash_core.c to avoid
compiling error if CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=on while CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE is unset.
Meanwhile include <asm/crash_core.h> in <linux/crash_core.h> if generic
reservation is needed. In that case, <asm/crash_core.h> need be added by
ARCH. In asm/crash_core.h, ARCH can provide its own macro definitions to
override macros in <linux/crash_core.h> if needed. Wrap the including
into CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GENERIC_CRASHKERNEL_RESERVATION ifdeffery scope to
avoid compiling error in other ARCH-es which don't take the generic
reservation way yet.

To support crash hotplug, a mechanism is needed to update the crash
elfcorehdr upon CPU or memory changes (eg. hot un/plug or off/ onlining).
The crash elfcorehdr describes the CPUs and memory to be written into the
vmcore.
To track CPU changes, callbacks are registered with the cpuhp mechanism
via cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls(CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN). The crash hotplug
elfcorehdr update has no explicit ordering requirement (relative to other
cpuhp states), so meets the criteria for utilizing CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN.
CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN is a dynamic state and avoids the need to introduce a
new state for crash hotplug. Also, CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN is the last state
in the PREPARE group, just prior to the STARTING group, which is very
close to the CPU starting up in a plug/online situation, or stopping in a
unplug/ offline situation. This minimizes the window of time during an
actual plug/online or unplug/offline situation in which the elfcorehdr
would be inaccurate. Note that for a CPU being unplugged or offlined, the
CPU will still be present in the list of CPUs generated by
crash_prepare_elf64_headers(). However, there is no need to explicitly
omit the CPU, see justification in 'crash: change
crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu()'.
To track memory changes, a notifier is registered to capture the memblock
MEM_ONLINE and MEM_OFFLINE events via register_memory_notifier().
The CPU callbacks and memory notifiers invoke crash_handle_hotplug_event()
which performs needed tasks and then dispatches the event to the
architecture specific arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event() to update the
elfcorehdr with the current state of CPUs and memory. During the process,
the kexec_lock is held.

Patch series "crash: Kernel handling of CPU and memory hot un/plug", v28.
Once the kdump service is loaded, if changes to CPUs or memory occur,
either by hot un/plug or off/onlining, the crash elfcorehdr must also be
updated.
The elfcorehdr describes to kdump the CPUs and memory in the system, and
any inaccuracies can result in a vmcore with missing CPU context or memory
regions.
The current solution utilizes udev to initiate an unload-then-reload of
the kdump image (eg. kernel, initrd, boot_params, purgatory and
elfcorehdr) by the userspace kexec utility. In the original post I
outlined the significant performance problems related to offloading this
activity to userspace.
This patchset introduces a generic crash handler that registers with the
CPU and memory notifiers. Upon CPU or memory changes, from either hot
un/plug or off/onlining, this generic handler is invoked and performs
important housekeeping, for example obtaining the appropriate lock, and
then invokes an architecture specific handler to do the appropriate
elfcorehdr update.
Note the description in patch 'crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers()
to for_each_possible_cpu()' and 'x86/crash: optimize CPU changes' that
enables further optimizations related to CPU plug/unplug/online/offline
performance of elfcorehdr updates.
In the case of x86_64, the arch specific handler generates a new
elfcorehdr, and overwrites the old one in memory; thus no involvement with
userspace needed.
To realize the benefits/test this patchset, one must make a couple
of minor changes to userspace:
- Prevent udev from updating kdump crash kernel on hot un/plug changes.
Add the following as the first lines to the RHEL udev rule file
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules:
# The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes
SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
With this changeset applied, the two rules evaluate to false for
CPU and memory change events and thus skip the userspace
unload-then-reload of kdump.
- Change to the kexec_file_load for loading the kdump kernel:
Eg. on RHEL: in /usr/bin/kdumpctl, change to:
standard_kexec_args="-p -d -s"
which adds the -s to select kexec_file_load() syscall.
This kernel patchset also supports kexec_load() with a modified kexec
userspace utility. A working changeset to the kexec userspace utility is
posted to the kexec-tools mailing list here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2023-May/027049.html
To use the kexec-tools patch, apply, build and install kexec-tools, then
change the kdumpctl's standard_kexec_args to replace the -s with
--hotplug. The removal of -s reverts to the kexec_load syscall and the
addition of --hotplug invokes the changes put forth in the kexec-tools
patch.
This patch (of 8):
The crash hotplug support leans on the work for the kexec_file_load()
syscall. To also support the kexec_load() syscall, a few bits of code
need to be move outside of CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE. As such, these bits are
moved out of kexec_file.c and into a common location crash_core.c.
In addition, struct crash_mem and crash_notes were moved to new locales so
that PROC_KCORE, which sets CRASH_CORE alone, builds correctly.
No functionality change intended.

The crashk_low_res should be considered by /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
to support two crash kernel regions shrinking if existing.
While doing it, crashk_low_res will only be shrunk when the entire
crashk_res is empty; and if the crashk_res is empty and crahk_low_res
is not, change crashk_low_res to be crashk_res.

The major adjustments are:
1. end = start + new_size.
The 'end' here is not an accurate representation, because it is not the
new end of crashk_res, but the start of ram_res, difference 1. So
eliminate it and replace it with ram_res->start.
2. Use 'ram_res->start' and 'ram_res->end' as arguments to
crash_free_reserved_phys_range() to indicate that the memory covered by
'ram_res' is released from the crashk. And keep it close to
insert_resource().
3. Replace 'if (start == end)' with 'if (!new_size)', clear indication that
all crashk memory will be shrunken.
No functional change.

If the resource of crashk_res has been released, it is better to clear
crashk_res.start and crashk_res.end. Because 'end = start - 1' is not
reasonable, and in some places the test is based on crashk_res.end, not
resource_size(&crashk_res).

The check '(crashk_res.parent != NULL)' is added by commit e05bd3367bd3
("kexec: fix Oops in crash_shrink_memory()"), but it's stale now. Because
if 'crashk_res' is not reserved, it will be zero in size and will be
intercepted by the above 'if (new_size >= old_size)'.
Ago:
if (new_size >= end - start + 1)
Now:
old_size = (end == 0) ? 0 : end - start + 1;
if (new_size >= old_size)

Patch series "kexec: enable kexec_crash_size to support two crash kernel
regions".
When crashkernel=X fails to reserve region under 4G, it will fall back to
reserve region above 4G and a region of the default size will also be
reserved under 4G. Unfortunately, /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size only
supports one crash kernel region now, the user cannot sense the low memory
reserved by reading /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size. Also, low memory cannot
be freed by writing this file.
For example:
resource_size(crashk_res) = 512M
resource_size(crashk_low_res) = 256M
The result of 'cat /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size' is 512M, but it should be
768M. When we execute 'echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size', the size
of crashk_res becomes 0 and resource_size(crashk_low_res) is still 256 MB,
which is incorrect.
Since crashk_res manages the memory with high address and crashk_low_res
manages the memory with low address, crashk_low_res is shrunken only when
all crashk_res is shrunken. And because when there is only one crash
kernel region, crashk_res is always used. Therefore, if all crashk_res is
shrunken and crashk_low_res still exists, swap them.
This patch (of 6):
If the value of parameter 'new_size' is in the semi-open and semi-closed
interval (crashk_res.end - KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN + 1, crashk_res.end], the
calculation result of ram_res is:
ram_res->start = crashk_res.end + 1
ram_res->end = crashk_res.end
The operation of insert_resource() fails, and ram_res is not added to
iomem_resource. As a result, the memory of the control block ram_res is
leaked.
In fact, on all architectures, the start address and size of crashk_res
are already aligned by KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN. Therefore, we do not need
to round up crashk_res.start again. Instead, we should round up
'new_size' in advance.

kexec allows replacing the current kernel with a different one. This is
usually a source of concerns for sysadmins that want to harden a system.
Linux already provides a way to disable loading new kexec kernel via
kexec_load_disabled, but that control is very coard, it is all or nothing
and does not make distinction between a panic kexec and a normal kexec.
This patch introduces new sysctl parameters, with finer tuning to specify
how many times a kexec kernel can be loaded. The sysadmin can set
different limits for kexec panic and kexec reboot kernels. The value can
be modified at runtime via sysctl, but only with a stricter value.
With these new parameters on place, a system with loadpin and verity
enabled, using the following kernel parameters:
sysctl.kexec_load_limit_reboot=0 sysct.kexec_load_limit_panic=1 can have a
good warranty that if initrd tries to load a panic kernel, a malitious
user will have small chances to replace that kernel with a different one,
even if they can trigger timeouts on the disk where the panic kernel
lives.

kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().
There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as
mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for
synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the
kmap's pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully
utilized until a slot becomes available.
With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts).
It is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled. Furthermore,
the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the
kernel virtual addresses are restored and are still valid.
Since its use in kexec_core.c is safe everywhere, it should be preferred.
Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() in kexec_core.c.
Tested on a QEMU/KVM x86_32 VM, 6GB RAM, booting a kernel with
HIGHMEM64GB enabled.

Attempting to get a crash dump out of a debug PREEMPT_RT kernel via an NMI
panic() doesn't work. The cause of that lies in the PREEMPT_RT definition
of mutex_trylock():
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES) && WARN_ON_ONCE(!in_task()))
return 0;
This prevents an nmi_panic() from executing the main body of
__crash_kexec() which does the actual kexec into the kdump kernel. The
warning and return are explained by:
6ce47fd961fa ("rtmutex: Warn if trylock is called from hard/softirq context")
[...]
The reasons for this are:
1) There is a potential deadlock in the slowpath
2) Another cpu which blocks on the rtmutex will boost the task
which allegedly locked the rtmutex, but that cannot work
because the hard/softirq context borrows the task context.
Furthermore, grabbing the lock isn't NMI safe, so do away with kexec_mutex
and replace it with an atomic variable. This is somewhat overzealous as
*some* callsites could keep using a mutex (e.g. the sysfs-facing ones
like crash_shrink_memory()), but this has the benefit of involving a
single unified lock and preventing any future NMI-related surprises.
Tested by triggering NMI panics via:
$ echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_unrecovered_nmi
$ echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unknown_nmi_panic
$ echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/panic
$ ipmitool power diag

Patch series "kexec, panic: Making crash_kexec() NMI safe", v4.
This patch (of 2):
Most acquistions of kexec_mutex are done via mutex_trylock() - those were
a direct "translation" from:
8c5a1cf0ad3a ("kexec: use a mutex for locking rather than xchg()")
there have however been two additions since then that use mutex_lock():
crash_get_memory_size() and crash_shrink_memory().
A later commit will replace said mutex with an atomic variable, and
locking operations will become atomic_cmpxchg(). Rather than having those
mutex_lock() become while (atomic_cmpxchg(&lock, 0, 1)), turn them into
trylocks that can return -EBUSY on acquisition failure.
This does halve the printable size of the crash kernel, but that's still
neighbouring 2G for 32bit kernels which should be ample enough.

This move the kernel/kexec_core.c respective sysctls to its own file.
kernel/sysctl.c has grown to an insane mess, We move sysctls to places
where features actually belong to improve the readability and reduce
merge conflicts. At the same time, the proc-sysctl maintainers can easily
care about the core logic other than the sysctl knobs added for some feature.
We already moved all filesystem sysctls out. This patch is part of the effort
to move kexec related sysctls out.

With @logbuf_lock removed, the high level printk functions for
storing messages are lockless. Messages can be stored from any
context, so there is no need for the NMI and safe buffers anymore.
Remove the NMI and safe buffers.
Although the safe buffers are removed, the NMI and safe context
tracking is still in place. In these contexts, store the message
immediately but still use irq_work to defer the console printing.
Since printk recursion tracking is in place, safe context tracking
for most of printk is not needed. Remove it. Only safe context
tracking relating to the console and console_owner locks is left
in place. This is because the console and console_owner locks are
needed for the actual printing.

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out panic and
oops helpers.
There are several purposes of doing this:
- dropping dependency in bug.h
- dropping a loop by moving out panic_notifier.h
- unload kernel.h from something which has its own domain
At the same time convert users tree-wide to use new headers, although for
the time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted
indirected includes for existing users.

Function kernel_kexec() is called with lock system_transition_mutex
held in reboot system call. While inside kernel_kexec(), it will
acquire system_transition_mutex agin. This will lead to dead lock.
The dead lock should be easily triggered, it hasn't caused any
failure report just because the feature 'kexec jump' is almost not
used by anyone as far as I know. An inquiry can be made about who
is using 'kexec jump' and where it's used. Before that, let's simply
remove the lock operation inside CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP ifdeffery scope.

Preparations to doing i386 compat elf_prstatus sanely - rather than duplicating
the beginning of compat_elf_prstatus, take these fields into a separate
structure (compat_elf_prstatus_common), so that it could be reused. Due to
the incestous relationship between binfmt_elf.c and compat_binfmt_elf.c we
need the same shape change done to native struct elf_prstatus, gathering the
fields prior to pr_reg into a new structure (struct elf_prstatus_common).
Fortunately, offset of pr_reg is always a multiple of 16 with no padding
right before it, so it's possible to turn all the stuff prior to it into
a single member without disturbing the layout.

Currently <crypto/sha.h> contains declarations for both SHA-1 and SHA-2,
and <crypto/sha3.h> contains declarations for SHA-3.
This organization is inconsistent, but more importantly SHA-1 is no
longer considered to be cryptographically secure. So to the extent
possible, SHA-1 shouldn't be grouped together with any of the other SHA
versions, and usage of it should be phased out.
Therefore, split <crypto/sha.h> into two headers <crypto/sha1.h> and
<crypto/sha2.h>, and make everyone explicitly specify whether they want
the declarations for SHA-1, SHA-2, or both.
This avoids making the SHA-1 declarations visible to files that don't
want anything to do with SHA-1. It also prepares for potentially moving
sha1.h into a new insecure/ or dangerous/ directory.

Patch series "mm: convert totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and managed

This series converts totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and
zone->managed_pages to atomic variables.
totalram_pages, zone->managed_pages and totalhigh_pages updates are
protected by managed_page_count_lock, but readers never care about it.
Convert these variables to atomic to avoid readers potentially seeing a

unexpected behavior. There are no known bugs as a result of the current

Without yielding while loading kimage segments, a large initrd will
block all other work on the CPU performing the load until it is
completed. For example loading an initrd of 200MB on a low power single
core system will lock up the system for a few seconds.
To increase system responsiveness to other tasks at that time, call
cond_resched() in both the crash kernel and normal kernel segment
loading loops.
I did run into a practical problem. Hardware watchdogs on embedded
systems can have short timers on the order of seconds. If the system is
locked up for a few seconds with only a single core available, the
watchdog may not be pet in a timely fashion. If this happens, the
hardware watchdog will fire and reset the system.
This really only becomes a problem when you are working with a single
core, a decently sized initrd, and have a constrained hardware watchdog.

Provide support so that kexec can be used to boot a kernel when SME is
enabled.
Support is needed to allocate pages for kexec without encryption. This
is needed in order to be able to reboot in the kernel in the same manner
as originally booted.
Additionally, when shutting down all of the CPUs we need to be sure to
flush the caches and then halt. This is needed when booting from a state
where SME was not active into a state where SME is active (or vice-versa).
Without these steps, it is possible for cache lines to exist for the same
physical location but tagged both with and without the encryption bit. This
can cause random memory corruption when caches are flushed depending on
which cacheline is written last.

Currently vmcoreinfo data is updated at boot time subsys_initcall(), it
has the risk of being modified by some wrong code during system is
running.
As a result, vmcore dumped may contain the wrong vmcoreinfo. Later on,
when using "crash", "makedumpfile", etc utility to parse this vmcore, we
probably will get "Segmentation fault" or other unexpected errors.
E.g. 1) wrong code overwrites vmcoreinfo_data; 2) further crashes the
system; 3) trigger kdump, then we obviously will fail to recognize the
crash context correctly due to the corrupted vmcoreinfo.
Now except for vmcoreinfo, all the crash data is well
protected(including the cpu note which is fully updated in the crash
path, thus its correctness is guaranteed). Given that vmcoreinfo data
is a large chunk prepared for kdump, we better protect it as well.
To solve this, we relocate and copy vmcoreinfo_data to the crash memory
when kdump is loading via kexec syscalls. Because the whole crash
memory will be protected by existing arch_kexec_protect_crashkres()
mechanism, we naturally protect vmcoreinfo_data from write(even read)
access under kernel direct mapping after kdump is loaded.
Since kdump is usually loaded at the very early stage after boot, we can
trust the correctness of the vmcoreinfo data copied.
On the other hand, we still need to operate the vmcoreinfo safe copy
when crash happens to generate vmcoreinfo_note again, we rely on vmap()
to map out a new kernel virtual address and update to use this new one
instead in the following crash_save_vmcoreinfo().
BTW, we do not touch vmcoreinfo_note, because it will be fully updated
using the protected vmcoreinfo_data after crash which is surely correct
just like the cpu crash note.

In preparation for an objtool rewrite which will have broader checks,
whitelist functions and files which cause problems because they do
unusual things with the stack.
These whitelists serve as a TODO list for which functions and files
don't yet have undwarf unwinder coverage. Eventually most of the
whitelists can be removed in favor of manual CFI hint annotations or
objtool improvements.

Get rid of multiple definitions of append_elf_note() & final_note()
functions. Reuse these functions compiled under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE Also,
define Elf_Word and use it instead of generic u32 or the more specific
Elf64_Word.

Patch series "kexec/fadump: remove dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC and
reuse crashkernel parameter for fadump", v4.
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.
This patch (of 5):
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.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add Petr Mladek, Sergey Senozhatsky as printk maintainers, and Steven
Rostedt as the printk reviewer. This idea came up after the
discussion about printk issues at Kernel Summit. It was formulated
and discussed at lkml[1].
- Extend a lock-less NMI per-cpu buffers idea to handle recursive
printk() calls by Sergey Senozhatsky[2]. It is the first step in
sanitizing printk as discussed at Kernel Summit.
The change allows to see messages that would normally get ignored or
would cause a deadlock.
Also it allows to enable lockdep in printk(). This already paid off.
The testing in linux-next helped to discover two old problems that
were hidden before[3][4].
- Remove unused parameter by Sergey Senozhatsky. Clean up after a past
change.
