Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) 2431b5f265 mm: turn folio_test_hugetlb into a PageType
commit d99e3140a4d33e26066183ff727d8f02f56bec64 upstream.

The current folio_test_hugetlb() can be fooled by a concurrent folio split
into returning true for a folio which has never belonged to hugetlbfs.
This can't happen if the caller holds a refcount on it, but we have a few
places (memory-failure, compaction, procfs) which do not and should not
take a speculative reference.

Since hugetlb pages do not use individual page mapcounts (they are always
fully mapped and use the entire_mapcount field to record the number of
mappings), the PageType field is available now that page_mapcount()
ignores the value in this field.

In compaction and with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, the current implementation
can result in an oops, as reported by Luis. This happens since 9c5ccf2db0
("mm: remove HUGETLB_PAGE_DTOR") effectively added some VM_BUG_ON() checks
in the PageHuge() testing path.

Kirill A. Shutemov ded1ffea52 mm, treewide: introduce NR_PAGE_ORDERS
[ Upstream commit fd37721803c6e73619108f76ad2e12a9aa5fafaf ]

NR_PAGE_ORDERS defines the number of page orders supported by the page
allocator, ranging from 0 to MAX_ORDER, MAX_ORDER + 1 in total.

NR_PAGE_ORDERS assists in defining arrays of page orders and allows for
more natural iteration over them.

Baoquan He e2a8f20dd8 Crash: add lock to serialize crash hotplug handling
Eric reported that handling corresponding crash hotplug event can be

=======

The memory hotplug events are notified very quickly and very many, while
the handling of crash hotplug is much slower relatively.  So the atomic
variable __kexec_lock and kexec_trylock() can't guarantee the
serialization of crash hotplug handling.

Here, add a new mutex lock __crash_hotplug_lock to serialize crash hotplug
handling specifically.  This doesn't impact the usage of __kexec_lock.

Eric DeVolder a396d0f81b crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu()
The function crash_prepare_elf64_headers() generates the elfcorehdr which
describes the CPUs and memory in the system for the crash kernel.  In
particular, it writes out ELF PT_NOTEs for memory regions and the CPUs in
the system.

With respect to the CPUs, the current implementation utilizes
for_each_present_cpu() which means that as CPUs are added and removed, the
elfcorehdr must again be updated to reflect the new set of CPUs.

The reasoning behind the move to use for_each_possible_cpu(), is:

- At kernel boot time, all percpu crash_notes are allocated for all
  possible CPUs; that is, crash_notes are not allocated dynamically
  when CPUs are plugged/unplugged. Thus the crash_notes for each
  possible CPU are always available.

- The crash_prepare_elf64_headers() creates an ELF PT_NOTE per CPU.
  Changing to for_each_possible_cpu() is valid as the crash_notes
  pointed to by each CPU PT_NOTE are present and always valid.

Furthermore, examining a common crash processing path of:

 kernel panic -> crash kernel -> makedumpfile -> 'crash' analyzer
           elfcorehdr      /proc/vmcore     vmcore

reveals how the ELF CPU PT_NOTEs are utilized:

- Upon panic, each CPU is sent an IPI and shuts itself down, recording
 its state in its crash_notes. When all CPUs are shutdown, the
 crash kernel is launched with a pointer to the elfcorehdr.

- The crash kernel via linux/fs/proc/vmcore.c does not examine or
 use the contents of the PT_NOTEs, it exposes them via /proc/vmcore.

- The makedumpfile utility uses /proc/vmcore and reads the CPU
 PT_NOTEs to craft a nr_cpus variable, which is reported in a
 header but otherwise generally unused. Makedumpfile creates the
 vmcore.

- The 'crash' dump analyzer does not appear to reference the CPU
 PT_NOTEs. Instead it looks-up the cpu_[possible|present|onlin]_mask
 symbols and directly examines those structure contents from vmcore
 memory. From that information it is able to determine which CPUs
 are present and online, and locate the corresponding crash_notes.
 Said differently, it appears that 'crash' analyzer does not rely
 on the ELF PT_NOTEs for CPUs; rather it obtains the information
 directly via kernel symbols and the memory within the vmcore.

(There maybe other vmcore generating and analysis tools that do use these
PT_NOTEs, but 'makedumpfile' and 'crash' seems to be the most common
solution.)

This results in the benefit of having all CPUs described in the
elfcorehdr, and therefore reducing the need to re-generate the elfcorehdr
on CPU changes, at the small expense of an additional 56 bytes per PT_NOTE
for not-present-but-possible CPUs.

On systems where kexec_file_load() syscall is utilized, all the above is
valid.  On systems where kexec_load() syscall is utilized, there may be
the need for the elfcorehdr to be regenerated once.  The reason being that
some archs only populate the 'present' CPUs from the
/sys/devices/system/cpus entries, which the userspace 'kexec' utility uses
to generate the userspace-supplied elfcorehdr.  In this situation, one
memory or CPU change will rewrite the elfcorehdr via the
crash_prepare_elf64_headers() function and now all possible CPUs will be
described, just as with kexec_file_load() syscall.

Eric DeVolder a72bbec70d crash: hotplug support for kexec_load()
The hotplug support for kexec_load() requires changes to the userspace
kexec-tools and a little extra help from the kernel.

Given a kdump capture kernel loaded via kexec_load(), and a subsequent
hotplug event, the crash hotplug handler finds the elfcorehdr and rewrites
it to reflect the hotplug change.  That is the desired outcome, however,
at kernel panic time, the purgatory integrity check fails (because the
elfcorehdr changed), and the capture kernel does not boot and no vmcore is
generated.

Therefore, the userspace kexec-tools/kexec must indicate to the kernel
that the elfcorehdr can be modified (because the kexec excluded the
elfcorehdr from the digest, and sized the elfcorehdr memory buffer
appropriately).

To facilitate hotplug support with kexec_load():
 - a new kexec flag KEXEC_UPATE_ELFCOREHDR indicates that it is
   safe for the kernel to modify the kexec_load()'d elfcorehdr
 - the /sys/kernel/crash_elfcorehdr_size node communicates the
   preferred size of the elfcorehdr memory buffer
 - The sysfs crash_hotplug nodes (ie.
   /sys/devices/system/[cpu|memory]/crash_hotplug) dynamically
   take into account kexec_file_load() vs kexec_load() and
   KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR.
   This is critical so that the udev rule processing of crash_hotplug
   is all that is needed to determine if the userspace unload-then-load
   of the kdump image is to be skipped, or not. The proposed udev
   rule change looks like:
   # 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"

The table below indicates the behavior of kexec_load()'d kdump image
updates (with the new udev crash_hotplug rule in place):

 Kernel |Kexec
 -------+-----+----
 Old    |Old  |New
        |  a  | a
 -------+-----+----
 New    |  a  | b
 -------+-----+----

where kexec 'old' and 'new' delineate kexec-tools has the needed
modifications for the crash hotplug feature, and kernel 'old' and 'new'
delineate the kernel supports this crash hotplug feature.

Behavior 'a' indicates the unload-then-reload of the entire kdump image. 
For the kexec 'old' column, the unload-then-reload occurs due to the
missing flag KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR.  An 'old' kernel (with 'new' kexec)
does not present the crash_hotplug sysfs node, which leads to the
unload-then-reload of the kdump image.

Behavior 'b' indicates the desired optimized behavior of the kernel
directly modifying the elfcorehdr and avoiding the unload-then-reload of
the kdump image.

If the udev rule is not updated with crash_hotplug node check, then no
matter any combination of kernel or kexec is new or old, the kdump image
continues to be unload-then-reload on hotplug changes.

To fully support crash hotplug feature, there needs to be a rollout of
kernel, kexec-tools and udev rule changes.  However, the order of the
rollout of these pieces does not matter; kexec_load()'d kdump images still
function for hotplug as-is.

Eric DeVolder 2472627561 crash: add generic infrastructure for crash hotplug support
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.

Eric DeVolder 6f991cc363 crash: move a few code bits to setup support of crash hotplug
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.

Store the folio order in the low byte of the flags word in the first tail

Kirill A. Shutemov 23baf831a3 mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely
MAX_ORDER currently defined as number of orders page allocator supports:
user can ask buddy allocator for page order between 0 and MAX_ORDER-1.

This definition is counter-intuitive and lead to number of bugs all over
the kernel.

Change the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive: the range of orders
user can ask from buddy allocator is 0..MAX_ORDER now.

Stephen Brennan 08fc35f31b vmcoreinfo: warn if we exceed vmcoreinfo data size
Though vmcoreinfo is intended to be small, at just one page, useful
information is still added to it, so we risk running out of space. 
Currently there is no runtime check to see whether the vmcoreinfo buffer
has been exhausted.  Add a warning for this case.

Currently, my static checking tool[1] indicates that a good upper bound
for vmcoreinfo size is currently 3415 bytes, but the best time to add
warnings is before the risk becomes too high.

Tao Liu 46d36b1be1 kdump: round up the total memory size to 128M for crashkernel reservation
The total memory size we get in kernel is usually slightly less than the
actual memory size because BIOS/firmware will reserve some memory region. 
So it won't export all memory as usable.

E.g, on my x86_64 kvm guest with 1G memory, the total_mem value shows:
UEFI boot with ovmf: 0x3faef000 Legacy boot kvm guest: 0x3ff7ec00

When specifying crashkernel=1G-2G:128M, if we have a 1G memory machine, we
get total size 1023M from firmware.  Then it will not fall into 1G-2G,
thus no memory reserved.  User will never know this, it is hard to let
user know the exact total value in kernel.

One way is to use dmi/smbios to get physical memory size, but it's not
reliable as well.  According to Prarit hardware vendors sometimes screw
this up.  Thus round up total size to 128M to work around this problem.

This patch is a resend of [1] and rebased onto v5.19-rc2, and the
original credit goes to Dave Young.

Stephen Brennan 5fd8fea935 vmcoreinfo: include kallsyms symbols
The internal kallsyms tables contain information which could be quite
useful to a debugging tool in the absence of other debuginfo.  If kallsyms
is enabled, then a debugging tool could parse it and use it as a fallback
symbol table.  Combined with BTF data, live & post-mortem debuggers can
support basic operations without needing a large DWARF debuginfo file
available.  As many as five symbols are necessary to properly parse
kallsyms names and addresses.  Add these to the vmcoreinfo note.

CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU does impact the computation of symbol
addresses.  However, a debugger can infer this configuration value by
comparing the address of _stext in the vmcoreinfo with the address
computed via kallsyms.  So there's no need to include information about
this config value in the vmcoreinfo note.

To verify that we're still well below the maximum of 4096 bytes, I created
a script[1] to compute a rough upper bound on the possible size of
vmcoreinfo.  On v5.18-rc7, the script reports 3106 bytes, and with this
patch, the maximum become 3370 bytes.

Zhen Lei 2e5920bb07 kdump: return -ENOENT if required cmdline option does not exist
According to the current crashkernel=Y,low support in other ARCHes, it's
an optional command-line option. When it doesn't exist, kernel will try
to allocate minimum required memory below 4G automatically.

However, __parse_crashkernel() returns '-EINVAL' for all error cases. It
can't distinguish the nonexistent option from invalid option.

Change __parse_crashkernel() to return '-ENOENT' for the nonexistent option
case. With this change, crashkernel,low memory will take the default
value if crashkernel=,low is not specified; while crashkernel reservation
will fail and bail out if an invalid option is specified.

Philipp Rudo 71d2bcec2d kernel/crash_core: suppress unknown crashkernel parameter warning
When booting with crashkernel= on the kernel command line a warning
similar to

    Kernel command line: ro console=ttyS0 crashkernel=256M
    Unknown kernel command line parameters "crashkernel=256M", will be passed to user space.

is printed.

This comes from crashkernel= being parsed independent from the kernel
parameter handling mechanism.  So the code in init/main.c doesn't know
that crashkernel= is a valid kernel parameter and prints this incorrect
warning.

Suppress the warning by adding a dummy early_param handler for
crashkernel=.

Pingfan Liu 4f5aecdff2 crash_core, vmcoreinfo: append 'SECTION_SIZE_BITS' to vmcoreinfo
As mentioned in kernel commit 1d50e5d0c5 ("crash_core, vmcoreinfo:
Append 'MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS' to vmcoreinfo"), SECTION_SIZE_BITS in the
formula:

    #define SECTIONS_SHIFT    (MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS - SECTION_SIZE_BITS)

Besides SECTIONS_SHIFT, SECTION_SIZE_BITS is also used to calculate
PAGES_PER_SECTION in makedumpfile just like kernel.

Unfortunately, this arch-dependent macro SECTION_SIZE_BITS changes, e.g.
recently in kernel commit f0b13ee232 ("arm64/sparsemem: reduce
SECTION_SIZE_BITS").  But user space wants a stable interface to get
this info.  Such info is impossible to be deduced from a crashdump
vmcore.  Hence append SECTION_SIZE_BITS to vmcoreinfo.

Eric Biggers a24d22b225 crypto: sha - split sha.h into sha1.h and sha2.h
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.

VMCOREINFO facilitates presenting appropriate kernel namelist image with
debug information file to kernel crash dump analysis tools.  Currently
VMCOREINFO lacks uniquely identifiable key for crash analysis automation.

Regarding if this patch is necessary or matching of linux_banner and
OSRELEASE in VMCOREINFO employed by crash(8) meets the need -- IMO,
build-id approach more foolproof, in most instances it is a cryptographic
hash generated using internal code/ELF bits unlike kernel version string
upon which linux_banner is based that is external to the code.  I feel
each is intended for a different purpose.  Also OSRELEASE is not suitable
when two different kernel builds from same version with different features
enabled.

Currently for most linux (and non-linux) systems build-id can be extracted
using standard methods for file types such as user mode crash dumps,
shared libraries, loadable kernel modules etc., This is an exception for
linux kernel dump.  Having build-id in VMCOREINFO brings some uniformity
for automation tools.

Tyler said:

: I think this is a nice improvement over today's linux_banner approach for
: correlating vmlinux to a kernel dump.
:
: The elf notes parsing in this patch lines up with what is described in in
: the "Notes (Nhdr)" section of the elf(5) man page.
:
: BUILD_ID_MAX is sufficient to hold a sha1 build-id, which is the default
: build-id type today in GNU ld(2).  It is also sufficient to hold the
: "fast" build-id, which is the default build-id type today in LLVM lld(2).

Bhupesh Sharma 1d50e5d0c5 crash_core, vmcoreinfo: Append 'MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS' to vmcoreinfo
Right now user-space tools like 'makedumpfile' and 'crash' need to rely
on a best-guess method of determining value of 'MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS'
supported by underlying kernel.

This value is used in user-space code to calculate the bit-space
required to store a section for SPARESMEM (similar to the existing
calculation method used in the kernel implementation):

  #define SECTIONS_SHIFT    (MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS - SECTION_SIZE_BITS)

Now, regressions have been reported in user-space utilities
like 'makedumpfile' and 'crash' on arm64, with the recently added
kernel support for 52-bit physical address space, as there is
no clear method of determining this value in user-space
(other than reading kernel CONFIG flags).

As per suggestion from makedumpfile maintainer (Kazu), it makes more
sense to append 'MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS' to vmcoreinfo in the core code itself
rather than in arch-specific code, so that the user-space code for other
archs can also benefit from this addition to the vmcoreinfo and use it
as a standard way of determining 'SECTIONS_SHIFT' value in user-land.

A reference 'makedumpfile' implementation which reads the
'MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS' value from vmcoreinfo in a arch-independent fashion
is available here:

While at it also update vmcoreinfo documentation for 'MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS'
variable being added to vmcoreinfo.

'MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS' defines the maximum supported physical address
space memory.

David Hildenbrand e04b742f74 kexec: export PG_offline to VMCOREINFO
Right now, pages inflated as part of a balloon driver will be dumped by
dump tools like makedumpfile.  While XEN is able to check in the crash
kernel whether a certain pfn is actuall backed by memory in the
hypervisor (see xen_oldmem_pfn_is_ram) and optimize this case, dumps of
other balloon inflated memory will essentially result in zero pages
getting allocated by the hypervisor and the dump getting filled with
this data.

The allocation and reading of zero pages can directly be avoided if a
dumping tool could know which pages only contain stale information not
to be dumped.

We now have PG_offline which can be (and already is by virtio-balloon)
used for marking pages as logically offline.  Follow up patches will
make use of this flag also in other balloon implementations.

Let's export PG_offline via PAGE_OFFLINE_MAPCOUNT_VALUE, so makedumpfile
can directly skip pages that are logically offline and the content
therefore stale.

Please note that this is also helpful for a problem we were seeing under
Hyper-V: Dumping logically offline memory (pages kept fake offline while
onlining a section via online_page_callback) would under some condicions
result in a kernel panic when dumping them.

Omar Sandoval eff4345e7f crash_core: use VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL_ARRAY() for swapper_pg_dir
This is preparation for allowing CRASH_CORE to be enabled for any
architecture.

swapper_pg_dir is always either an array or a macro expanding to NULL.
In the latter case, VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL() won't work, as it tries to take
the address of the given symbol:

	#define VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL(name) \
		vmcoreinfo_append_str("SYMBOL(%s)=%lx\n", #name, (unsigned long)&name)

Instead, use VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL_ARRAY(), which uses the value:

	#define VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL_ARRAY(name) \
		vmcoreinfo_append_str("SYMBOL(%s)=%lx\n", #name, (unsigned long)name)

This is the same thing for the array case but isn't an error for the macro
case.

Matthew Wilcox 6e292b9be7 mm: split page_type out from _mapcount
We're already using a union of many fields here, so stop abusing the
_mapcount and make page_type its own field.  That implies renaming some of
the machinery that creates PageBuddy, PageBalloon and PageKmemcg; bring
back the PG_buddy, PG_balloon and PG_kmemcg names.

As suggested by Kirill, make page_type a bitmask.  Because it starts out
life as -1 (thanks to sharing the storage with _mapcount), setting a page
flag means clearing the appropriate bit.  This gives us space for probably
twenty or so extra bits (depending how paranoid we want to be about
_mapcount underflow).

Kirill A. Shutemov a0b1280368 kdump: write correct address of mem_section into vmcoreinfo
Depending on configuration mem_section can now be an array or a pointer
to an array allocated dynamically.  In most cases, we can continue to
refer to it as 'mem_section' regardless of what it is.

But there's one exception: '&mem_section' means "address of the array"
if mem_section is an array, but if mem_section is a pointer, it would
mean "address of the pointer".

We've stepped onto this in kdump code.  VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL(mem_section)
writes down address of pointer into vmcoreinfo, not array as we wanted.

Let's introduce VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL_ARRAY() that would handle the
situation correctly for both cases.

Xunlei Pang 1229384f5b kdump: protect vmcoreinfo data under the crash memory
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.

vmcoreinfo_max_size stands for the vmcoreinfo_data, the correct one we
should use is vmcoreinfo_note whose total size is VMCOREINFO_NOTE_SIZE.

Like explained in commit 77019967f0 ("kdump: fix exported size of
vmcoreinfo note"), it should not affect the actual function, but we
better fix it, also this change should be safe and backward compatible.

After this, we can get rid of variable vmcoreinfo_max_size, let's use
the corresponding macros directly, fewer variables means more safety for
vmcoreinfo operation.

As Eric said,
 "what we need to do is move the variable vmcoreinfo_note out of the
  kernel's .bss section. And modify the code to regenerate and keep this
  information in something like the control page.

  Definitely something like this needs a page all to itself, and ideally
  far away from any other kernel data structures. I clearly was not
  watching closely the data someone decided to keep this silly thing in
  the kernel's .bss section."

This patch allocates extra pages for these vmcoreinfo_XXX variables, one
advantage is that it enhances some safety of vmcoreinfo, because
vmcoreinfo now is kept far away from other kernel data structures.

Hari Bathini 692f66f26a crash: move crashkernel parsing and vmcore related code under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE
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.
