Pull x86 kdump update from Ingo Molnar:
 "This includes two changes:

   - Raise the crash kernel reservation limit from from ~896MB to ~4GB.

     Only very old (and already known-broken) kexec-tools is supposed to
     be affected by this negatively.

   - Allow higher than 4GB crash kernel allocations when low allocations
     fail"

x86/kdump: Fall back to reserve high crashkernel memory

2019-04-22T08:23:05+00:00

crashkernel=xM tries to reserve memory for the crash kernel under 4G,
which is enough, usually. But this could fail sometimes, for example
when one tries to reserve a big chunk like 2G, for example.

So let the crashkernel=xM just fall back to use high memory in case it
fails to find a suitable low range. Do not set the ,high as default
because it allocates extra low memory for DMA buffers and swiotlb, and
this is not always necessary for all machines.

Typically, crashkernel=128M usually works with low reservation under 4G,
so keep <4G as default.

x86/kdump: Have crashkernel=X reserve under 4G by default

2019-04-22T08:15:16+00:00

The kdump crashkernel low reservation is limited to under 896M even for
X86_64. This obscure and miserable limitation exists for compatibility
with old kexec-tools but the reason is not documented anywhere.

Some more tests/investigations about the background:

a) Previously, old kexec-tools could only load purgatory to memory under
   2G. Eric removed that limitation in 2012 in kexec-tools:

     b4f9f8599679 ("kexec x86_64: Make purgatory relocatable anywhere
		   in the 64bit address space.")

b) Back in 2013 Yinghai removed all the limitations in new kexec-tools,
   bzImage64 can be loaded anywhere:

     82c3dd2280d2 ("kexec, x86_64: Load bzImage64 above 4G")

c) Test results with old kexec-tools with old and latest kernels:

  1. Old kexec-tools can not build with modern toolchain anymore,
     I built it in a RHEL6 vm.

  2. 2.0.0 kexec-tools does not work with the latest kernel even with
     memory under 896M and gives an error:

     "ELF core (kcore) parse failed"

     For that it needs below kexec-tools fix:

       ed15ba1b9977 ("build_mem_phdrs(): check if p_paddr is invalid")

  3. Even with patched kexec-tools which fixes 2),  it still needs some
     other fixes to work correctly for KASLR-enabled kernels.

So the situation is:

* Old kexec-tools is already broken with latest kernels.

* We can not keep these limitations forever just for compatibility with very
  old kexec-tools.

* If one must use old tools then he/she can choose crashkernel=X@Y.

* People have reported bugs where crashkernel=384M failed because KASLR
  makes the 0-896M space sparse.

* Crashkernel can reserve in low or high area, it is natural to understand
  low as memory under 4G.

Hence drop the 896M limitation and change crashkernel low reservation to
reserve under 4G by default.

efi: Unify DMI setup code over the arm/arm64, ia64 and x86 architectures

2019-03-29T06:35:00+00:00

All architectures (arm/arm64, ia64 and x86) do the same here, so unify
the code.

Note: We do not need to call dump_stack_set_arch_desc() in case of
!dmi_available. Both strings, dmi_ids_string and dump_stack_arch_
desc_str are initialized zero and thus nothing would change.

vfs: Suppress MS_* flag defs within the kernel unless explicitly enabled

2018-12-20T16:32:56+00:00

Only the mount namespace code that implements mount(2) should be using the
MS_* flags.  Suppress them inside the kernel unless uapi/linux/mount.h is

x86/boot: Mostly revert commit ae7e1238e68f2a ("Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header")

2018-11-20T08:43:10+00:00

Peter Anvin pointed out that commit:

  ae7e1238e68f2a ("x86/boot: Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header")

should be reverted as setup_header should only contain items set by the
legacy BIOS.

So revert said commit. Instead of fully reverting the dependent commit
of:

  e7b66d16fe4172 ("x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address for boot params if available")

just remove the setup_header reference in order to replace it by
a boot_params in a followup patch.
