Stephen Boyd 44e8a5e912 kdump: use vmlinux_build_id to simplify
We can use the vmlinux_build_id array here now instead of open coding it.
This mostly consolidates code.

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.

Vijay Balakrishna 0935288c6e kdump: append kernel build-id string to VMCOREINFO
Make kernel GNU build-id available in VMCOREINFO.  Having build-id in
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.

Xunlei Pang 5203f4995d powerpc/fadump: use the correct VMCOREINFO_NOTE_SIZE for phdr
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.

Xunlei Pang 203e9e4121 kexec: move vmcoreinfo out of the kernel's .bss section
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 51dbd92520 ia64: reuse append_elf_note() and final_note() functions
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.

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.
