KASAN instrumentation is intended to be disabled for the kexec core
code, but the existing Makefile entry misses the object suffix. As a
result, the flag is not applied correctly to core_$(BITS).o.
So when KASAN is enabled, kexec_copy_flush and copy_segments in
kexec/core_64.c are instrumented, which can result in accesses to
shadow memory via normal address translation paths. Since these run
with the MMU disabled, such accesses may trigger page faults
(bad_page_fault) that cannot be handled in the kdump path, ultimately
causing a hang and preventing the kdump kernel from booting. The same
is true for kexec as well, since the same functions are used there.
Update the entry to include the “.o” suffix so that KASAN
instrumentation is properly disabled for this object file.

arm64,ppc64le/kdump: pass dm-crypt keys to kdump kernel
...
CONFIG_CRASH_DM_CRYPT has been introduced to support LUKS-encrypted
device dump target by addressing two challenges [1],
- Kdump kernel may not be able to decrypt the LUKS partition. For some
machines, a system administrator may not have a chance to enter the
password to decrypt the device in kdump initramfs after the 1st kernel
crashes
- LUKS2 by default use the memory-hard Argon2 key derivation function
which is quite memory-consuming compared to the limited memory reserved
for kdump.
To also enable this feature for ARM64 and PowerPC, the missing piece is to
let the kdump kernel know where to find the dm-crypt keys which are
randomly stored in memory reserved for kdump. Introduce a new device tree
property dmcryptkeys [2] as similar to elfcorehdr to pass the memory
address of the stored info of dm-crypt keys to the kdump kernel. Since
this property is only needed by the kdump kernel, it won't be exposed to
userspace.

When elfcorehdr is prepared for kdump, the program header representing
the first 64 KB of memory is expected to have its offset point to the
backup region. This is required because purgatory copies the first 64 KB
of the crashed kernel memory to this backup region following a kernel
crash. This allows the capture kernel to use the first 64 KB of memory
to place the exception vectors and other required data.
When elfcorehdr is recreated due to memory hotplug, the offset of
the program header representing the first 64 KB is not updated.
As a result, the capture kernel exports the first 64 KB at offset
0, even though the data actually resides in the backup region.
Fix this by calling sync_backup_region_phdr() to update the program
header offset in the elfcorehdr created during memory hotplug.
sync_backup_region_phdr() works for images loaded via the
kexec_file_load syscall. However, it does not work for kexec_load,
because image->arch.backup_start is not initialized in that case.
So introduce machine_kexec_post_load() to process the elfcorehdr
prepared by kexec-tools and initialize image->arch.backup_start for
kdump images loaded via kexec_load syscall.
Rename update_backup_region_phdr() to sync_backup_region_phdr() and
extend it to synchronize the backup region offset between the kdump
image and the ELF core header. The helper now supports updating either
the kdump image from the ELF program header or updating the ELF program
header from the kdump image, avoiding code duplication.
Define ARCH_HAS_KIMAGE_ARCH and struct kimage_arch when
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE or CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is enabled so that
kimage->arch.backup_start is available with the kexec_load system call.
This patch depends on the patch titled
"powerpc/crash: fix backup region offset update to elfcorehdr".

update_backup_region_phdr() in file_load_64.c iterates over all the
program headers in the kdump kernel’s elfcorehdr and updates the
p_offset of the program header whose physical address starts at 0.
However, the loop logic is incorrect because the program header pointer
is not updated during iteration. Since elfcorehdr typically contains
PT_NOTE entries first, the PT_LOAD program header with physical address
0 is never reached. As a result, its p_offset is not updated to point to
the backup region.
Because of this behavior, the capture kernel exports the first 64 KB of
the crashed kernel’s memory at offset 0, even though that memory
actually lives in the backup region. When a crash happens, purgatory
copies the first 64 KB of the crashed kernel’s memory into the backup
region so the capture kernel can safely use it.
This has not caused problems so far because the first 64 KB is usually
identical in both the crashed and capture kernels. However, this is
just an assumption and is not guaranteed to always hold true.
Fix update_backup_region_phdr() to correctly update the p_offset of the
program header with a starting physical address of 0 by correcting the
logic used to iterate over the program headers.

With crash hotplug support enabled, additional memory is allocated to
the elfcorehdr kexec segment to accommodate resources added during
memory hotplug events. However, the kdump FDT is not updated with the
same size, which can result in elfcorehdr corruption in the kdump
kernel.
Update elf_headers_sz (the kimage member representing the size of the
elfcorehdr kexec segment) to reflect the total memory allocated for the
elfcorehdr segment instead of the elfcorehdr buffer size at the time of
kdump load. This allows of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt() to reserve the
full elfcorehdr memory in the kdump FDT and prevents elfcorehdr
corruption.

The elfcorehdr segment in the kdump image stores information about the
memory regions (called crash memory ranges) that the kdump kernel must
capture.
When a memory hot-remove event occurs, the kernel regenerates the
elfcorehdr for the currently loaded kdump image to remove the
hot-removed memory from the crash memory ranges.
Call chain:
remove_mem_range()
update_crash_elfcorehdr()
arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event()
crash_handle_hotplug_event()
While removing the hot-removed memory from the crash memory ranges in
remove_mem_range(), if the removed memory lies within an existing crash
range, that range is split into two. During this split, the size of the
second range was being calculated incorrectly.
This leads to dump capture failure with makedumpfile with below error:

Commit 35c18f2933 ("Add a new optional ",cma" suffix to the
crashkernel= command line option") and commit ab475510e0 ("kdump:
implement reserve_crashkernel_cma") added CMA support for kdump
crashkernel reservation.
Extend crashkernel CMA reservation support to powerpc.
The following changes are made to enable CMA reservation on powerpc:
- Parse and obtain the CMA reservation size along with other crashkernel
parameters
- Call reserve_crashkernel_cma() to allocate the CMA region for kdump
- Include the CMA-reserved ranges in the usable memory ranges for the
kdump kernel to use.
- Exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the crash kernel memory to
prevent them from being exported through /proc/vmcore.
With the introduction of the CMA crashkernel regions,
crash_exclude_mem_range() needs to be called multiple times to exclude
both crashk_res and crashk_cma_ranges from the crash memory ranges. To
avoid repetitive logic for validating mem_ranges size and handling
reallocation when required, this functionality is moved to a new wrapper
function crash_exclude_mem_range_guarded().
To ensure proper CMA reservation, reserve_crashkernel_cma() is called
after pageblock_order is initialized.
Update kernel-parameters.txt to document CMA support for crashkernel on
powerpc architecture.

Patch series "kdump: crashkernel reservation from CMA", v5.
This series implements a way to reserve additional crash kernel memory
using CMA.
Currently, all the memory for the crash kernel is not usable by the 1st
(production) kernel. It is also unmapped so that it can't be corrupted by
the fault that will eventually trigger the crash. This makes sense for
the memory actually used by the kexec-loaded crash kernel image and initrd
and the data prepared during the load (vmcoreinfo, ...). However, the
reserved space needs to be much larger than that to provide enough
run-time memory for the crash kernel and the kdump userspace. Estimating
the amount of memory to reserve is difficult. Being too careful makes
kdump likely to end in OOM, being too generous takes even more memory from
the production system. Also, the reservation only allows reserving a
single contiguous block (or two with the "low" suffix). I've seen systems
where this fails because the physical memory is fragmented.
By reserving additional crashkernel memory from CMA, the main crashkernel
reservation can be just large enough to fit the kernel and initrd image,
minimizing the memory taken away from the production system. Most of the
run-time memory for the crash kernel will be memory previously available
to userspace in the production system. As this memory is no longer
wasted, the reservation can be done with a generous margin, making kdump
more reliable. Kernel memory that we need to preserve for dumping is
normally not allocated from CMA, unless it is explicitly allocated as
movable. Currently this is only the case for memory ballooning and zswap.
Such movable memory will be missing from the vmcore. User data is
typically not dumped by makedumpfile. When dumping of user data is
intended this new CMA reservation cannot be used.
There are five patches in this series:
The first adds a new ",cma" suffix to the recenly introduced generic
crashkernel parsing code. parse_crashkernel() takes one more argument to
store the cma reservation size.
The second patch implements reserve_crashkernel_cma() which performs the
reservation. If the requested size is not available in a single range,
multiple smaller ranges will be reserved.
The third patch updates Documentation/, explicitly mentioning the
potential DMA corruption of the CMA-reserved memory.
The fourth patch adds a short delay before booting the kdump kernel,
allowing pending DMA transfers to finish.
The fifth patch enables the functionality for x86 as a proof of
concept. There are just three things every arch needs to do:
- call reserve_crashkernel_cma()
- include the CMA-reserved ranges in the physical memory map
- exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the memory available
through /proc/vmcore by excluding them from the vmcoreinfo
PT_LOAD ranges.
Adding other architectures is easy and I can do that as soon as this
series is merged.
With this series applied, specifying
crashkernel=100M craskhernel=1G,cma
on the command line will make a standard crashkernel reservation
of 100M, where kexec will load the kernel and initrd.
An additional 1G will be reserved from CMA, still usable by the production
system. The crash kernel will have 1.1G memory available. The 100M can
be reliably predicted based on the size of the kernel and initrd.
The new cma suffix is completely optional. When no
crashkernel=size,cma is specified, everything works as before.
This patch (of 5):
Add a new cma_size parameter to parse_crashkernel(). When not NULL, call
__parse_crashkernel to parse the CMA reservation size from
"crashkernel=size,cma" and store it in cma_size.
Set cma_size to NULL in all calls to parse_crashkernel().

Commit 0ab97169aa ("crash_core: add generic function to do reservation")
added a generic function to reserve crashkernel memory. So let's use the
same function on powerpc and remove the architecture-specific code that
essentially does the same thing.
The generic crashkernel reservation also provides a way to split the
crashkernel reservation into high and low memory reservations, which can
be enabled for powerpc in the future.
Along with moving to the generic crashkernel reservation, the code related
to finding the base address for the crashkernel has been separated into
its own function name get_crash_base() for better readability and
maintainability.

On PowerPC, the memory reserved for the crashkernel can contain components
like RTAS, TCE, OPAL, etc., which should be avoided when loading kexec
segments into crashkernel memory. Due to these special components,
PowerPC has its own set of APIs to locate holes in the crashkernel memory
for loading kexec segments for kdump. However, for loading kexec segments
in the kexec case, PowerPC already uses generic APIs to locate holes.
The previous patch in this series, titled "crash: Let arch decide usable
memory range in reserved area," introduced arch-specific hook to handle
such special regions in the crashkernel area. So, switch PowerPC to use
the generic APIs to locate memory holes for kdump and remove the redundant
PowerPC-specific APIs.

In relocate_32.S, function clear_utlb_entry() goes into real mode. To
do so, it has to calculate the physical address based on the virtual
address. To get the virtual address it uses 'bl' which is problematic
(see commit c974809a26 ("powerpc/vdso: Avoid link stack corruption
in __get_datapage()")). In addition, the calculation is done on a
wrong address because 'bl' loads LR with the address of the following
instruction, not the address of the target. So when the target is not
the instruction following the 'bl' instruction, it may lead to
unexpected behaviour.
Fix it by re-writing the code so that is goes via another path which
is based 'bcl 20,31,.+4' which is the right instruction to use for that.

kexec on pseries disables AIL (reloc_on_exc), required for scv
instruction support, before other CPUs have been shut down. This means
they can execute scv instructions after AIL is disabled, which causes an
interrupt at an unexpected entry location that crashes the kernel.
Change the kexec sequence to disable AIL after other CPUs have been
brought down.
As a refresher, the real-mode scv interrupt vector is 0x17000, and the
fixed-location head code probably couldn't easily deal with implementing
such high addresses so it was just decided not to support that interrupt
at all.

However, they are not taken into account when determining the additional

Extend the arch crash hotplug handler, as introduced by the patch title
("powerpc: add crash CPU hotplug support"), to also support memory
add/remove events.
Elfcorehdr describes the memory of the crash kernel to capture the
kernel; hence, it needs to be updated if memory resources change due to
memory add/remove events. Therefore, arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event()
is updated to recreate the elfcorehdr and replace it with the previous
one on memory add/remove events.
The memblock list is used to prepare the elfcorehdr. In the case of
memory hot remove, the memblock list is updated after the arch crash
hotplug handler is triggered, as depicted in Figure 1. Thus, the
hot-removed memory is explicitly removed from the crash memory ranges
to ensure that the memory ranges added to elfcorehdr do not include the
hot-removed memory.

There are two system calls, `kexec_file_load` and `kexec_load`, used to
load the kdump image. A few changes have been made to ensure that the
kernel can safely update the elfcorehdr component of the kdump image for
both system calls.
For the kexec_file_load syscall, kdump image is prepared in the kernel.
To support an increasing number of memory regions, the elfcorehdr is
built with extra buffer space to ensure that it can accommodate
additional memory ranges in future.
For the kexec_load syscall, the elfcorehdr is updated only if the
KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT kexec flag is passed to the kernel by the
kexec tool. Passing this flag to the kernel indicates that the
elfcorehdr is built to accommodate additional memory ranges and the
elfcorehdr segment is not considered for SHA calculation, making it safe
to update.
The changes related to this feature are kept under the CRASH_HOTPLUG
config, and it is enabled by default.

Link: https://msgid.link/20240326055413.186534-7-sourabhjain@linux.ibm.com
Due to CPU/Memory hotplug or online/offline events, the elfcorehdr
(which describes the CPUs and memory of the crashed kernel) and FDT
(Flattened Device Tree) of kdump image becomes outdated. Consequently,
attempting dump collection with an outdated elfcorehdr or FDT can lead
to failed or inaccurate dump collection.
Going forward, CPU hotplug or online/offline events are referred as
CPU/Memory add/remove events.
The current solution to address the above issue involves monitoring the
CPU/Memory add/remove events in userspace using udev rules and whenever
there are changes in CPU and memory resources, the entire kdump image
is loaded again. The kdump image includes kernel, initrd, elfcorehdr,
FDT, purgatory. Given that only elfcorehdr and FDT get outdated due to
CPU/Memory add/remove events, reloading the entire kdump image is
inefficient. More importantly, kdump remains inactive for a substantial
amount of time until the kdump reload completes.
To address the aforementioned issue, commit 2472627561 ("crash: add
generic infrastructure for crash hotplug support") added a generic
infrastructure that allows architectures to selectively update the kdump
image component during CPU or memory add/remove events within the kernel
itself.
In the event of a CPU or memory add/remove events, the generic crash
hotplug event handler, `crash_handle_hotplug_event()`, is triggered. It
then acquires the necessary locks to update the kdump image and invokes
the architecture-specific crash hotplug handler,
`arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event()`, to update the required kdump image
components.
This patch adds crash hotplug handler for PowerPC and enable support to
update the kdump image on CPU add/remove events. Support for memory
add/remove events is added in a subsequent patch with the title
"powerpc: add crash memory hotplug support"
As mentioned earlier, only the elfcorehdr and FDT kdump image components
need to be updated in the event of CPU or memory add/remove events.
However, on PowerPC architecture crash hotplug handler only updates the
FDT to enable crash hotplug support for CPU add/remove events. Here's
why.
The elfcorehdr on PowerPC is built with possible CPUs, and thus, it does
not need an update on CPU add/remove events. On the other hand, the FDT
needs to be updated on CPU add events to include the newly added CPU. If
the FDT is not updated and the kernel crashes on a newly added CPU, the
kdump kernel will fail to boot due to the unavailability of the crashing
CPU in the FDT. During the early boot, it is expected that the boot CPU
must be a part of the FDT; otherwise, the kernel will raise a BUG and
fail to boot. For more information, refer to commit 36ae37e343
("powerpc: Make boot_cpuid common between 32 and 64-bit"). Since it is
okay to have an offline CPU in the kdump FDT, no action is taken in case
of CPU removal.
There are two system calls, `kexec_file_load` and `kexec_load`, used to
load the kdump image. Few changes have been made to ensure kernel can
safely update the FDT of kdump image loaded using both system calls.
For kexec_file_load syscall the kdump image is prepared in kernel. So to
support an increasing number of CPUs, the FDT is constructed with extra
buffer space to ensure it can accommodate a possible number of CPU
nodes. Additionally, a call to fdt_pack (which trims the unused space
once the FDT is prepared) is avoided if this feature is enabled.
For the kexec_load syscall, the FDT is updated only if the
KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT kexec flag is passed to the kernel by
userspace (kexec tools). When userspace passes this flag to the kernel,
it indicates that the FDT is built to accommodate possible CPUs, and the
FDT segment is excluded from SHA calculation, making it safe to update.
The changes related to this feature are kept under the CRASH_HOTPLUG
config, and it is enabled by default.

Finally, remove the CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE build dependency for range.c
because it is required for other config, such as CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP.
No functional changes are intended.

Remove CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE
was used at places where CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP or CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE was
appropriate. Replace with appropriate #ifdefs to support CONFIG_KEXEC
and !CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP configuration option. Also, make CONFIG_FA_DUMP
dependent on CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP to avoid unmet dependencies for FA_DUMP
with !CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE configuration option.

On architecutres, like arm, s390, ppc, sh, function
arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() is located in machine_kexec.c and it can
only be compiled in when CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y.
That's not right because arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() is used to export
arch specific vmcoreinfo. CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO is supposed to control its
compiling in. However, CONFIG_VMVCORE_INFO could be independent of
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, e.g CONFIG_PROC_KCORE=y will select CONFIG_VMVCORE_INFO.
Or CONFIG_KEXEC/CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is set while CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is
not set, it will report linking error.
So, on arm, s390, ppc and sh, move arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo out to
a new file vmcore_info.c. Let CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO decide if compiling in
arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo().

IA-64 was removed with commit cf8e865810 ("arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64)

Note: this also reveals a potential bug in powerpc code, which makes use of
__init_task_data without selecting ARCH_TASK_STRUCT_ON_STACK which makes
__init_task_data a no-op. This is broken since commit d11ed3ab31 ("Expand

Since below commit, address mapping for vmemmap has changed for Radix
MMU, where address mapping is stored in kernel page table itself,
instead of earlier used 'vmemmap_list'.
commit 368a0590d9 ("powerpc/book3s64/vmemmap: switch radix to use
a different vmemmap handling function")
Hence with upstream kernel, in case of Radix MMU, makedumpfile fails
to do address translation for vmemmap addresses, as it depended on
vmemmap_list, which can now be empty.
While fixing the address translation in makedumpfile, it was identified
that currently makedumpfile cannot distinguish between Hash MMU and
Radix MMU, unless VMLINUX is passed with -x flag to makedumpfile. And
hence fails to assign offsets and shifts correctly (such as in L4 to
PGDIR offset calculation in makedumpfile).
For getting the MMU, makedumpfile uses `cur_cpu_spec.mmu_features`.
Add `cur_cpu_spec` symbol and offset of `mmu_features` in the `cpu_spec`
struct, to VMCOREINFO, so that makedumpfile can assign the offsets
correctly, without needing a VMLINUX.
Also, even along with `cur_cpu_spec->mmu_features` makedumpfile has to
depend on the 'MMU_FTR_TYPE_RADIX' flag in mmu_features, implying kernel
developers need to be cautious of changes to 'MMU_FTR_*' defines.
A more stable approach was suggested in the below thread by contributors:
https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20230920105706.853626-1-adityag@linux.ibm.com/
The suggestion was to add whether 'RADIX_MMU' is enabled in vmcoreinfo
This patch also implements the suggestion, by adding 'RADIX_MMU' in
vmcoreinfo, which makedumpfile can use to get whether the crashed system
had RADIX MMU (in which case 'NUMBER(RADIX_MMU)=1') or not (in which
case 'NUMBER(RADIX_MMU)=0')

Presently, while reading a vmcore, makedumpfile uses
`cur_cpu_spec.mmu_features` to decide whether the crashed system had
RADIX MMU or not.
Currently, makedumpfile fails to get the `cur_cpu_spec` symbol (unless
a vmlinux is passed with the `-x` flag to makedumpfile), and hence
assigns offsets and shifts (such as pgd_offset_l4) incorrecly considering
MMU to be hash MMU.
Add `cur_cpu_spec` symbol and offset of `mmu_features` in the
`cpu_spec` struct, to VMCOREINFO, so that the symbol address and offset
is accessible to makedumpfile, without needing the vmlinux file

A while ago I created a2305e3de8 ("powerpc: mark local variables
around longjmp as volatile") in order to allow building powerpc with
-Wextra enabled on gcc-11.
I tried this again with gcc-13 and found two more of the same issues,
presumably based on slightly different optimization paths being taken
here:
arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c:3306:27: error: variable 'mm' might be clobbered by 'longjmp' or 'vfork' [-Werror=clobbered]
arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c:353:22: error: variable 'i' might be clobbered by 'longjmp' or 'vfork' [-Werror=clobbered]
I checked a bunch of randconfigs and found only these two, so just
address them the same way as the others.
