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().

Introduce file_getattr() and file_setattr() syscalls to manipulate inode extended attributes. The syscalls takes pair of file descriptor and pathname. Then it operates on inode opened accroding to openat() semantics. The struct file_attr is passed to obtain/change extended attributes. This is an alternative to FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl with a difference that file don't need to be open as we can reference it with a path instead of fd. By having this we can manipulated inode extended attributes not only on regular files but also on special ones. This is not possible with FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl as with special files we can not call ioctl() directly on the filesystem inode using fd. This patch adds two new syscalls which allows userspace to get/set extended inode attributes on special files by using parent directory and a path - *at() like syscall.

Pull sh updates from John Paul Adrian Glaubitz:
"One important fix and one small configuration update.
The first patch by Artur Rojek fixes an issue with the J2 firmware
loader not being able to find the location of the device tree blob due
to insufficient alignment of the .bss section which rendered J2 boards
unbootable.
The second patch by Johan Korsnes updates the defconfigs on sh to drop
the CONFIG_NET_CLS_TCINDEX configuration option which became obsolete
after 8c710f75256b ("net/sched: Retire tcindex classifier").
Summary:
- sh: defconfig: Drop obsolete CONFIG_NET_CLS_TCINDEX
- sh: Align .bss section padding to 8-byte boundary"

sh: defconfig: Drop obsolete CONFIG_NET_CLS_TCINDEX
sh: Align .bss section padding to 8-byte boundary
J2-based devices expect to find a device tree blob at the end of the
.bss section. As of a77725a9a3c5 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream
version v1.6.1-19-g0a3a9d3449c8"), libfdt enforces 8-byte alignment
for the DTB, causing J2 devices to fail early in sh_fdt_init().
As the J2 loader firmware calculates the DTB location based on the kernel
image .bss section size rather than the __bss_stop symbol offset, the
required alignment can't be enforced with BSS_SECTION(0, PAGE_SIZE, 8).
To fix this, inline a modified version of the above macro which grows
.bss by the required size. While this change affects all existing SH
boards, it should be benign on platforms which don't need this alignment.
