<title>arm64: kdump: no need to mark crashkernel pages manually PG_reserved</title>

The crashkernel is reserved via memblock_reserve().  memblock_free_all()
will call free_low_memory_core_early(), which will go over all reserved
memblocks, marking the pages as PG_reserved.

So manually marking pages as PG_reserved is not necessary, they are
already in the desired state (otherwise they would have been handed over
to the buddy as free pages and bad things would happen).

On arm64, purgatory would do almost nothing. So just invoke secondary
kernel directly by jumping into its entry code.

While, in this case, cpu_soft_restart() must be called with dtb address
in the fifth argument, the behavior still stays compatible with kexec_load
case as long as the argument is null.

<title>arm64: kernel: arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() should depend on CONFIG_CRASH_CORE</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 23c85094fe18 ("proc/kcore: add vmcoreinfo note to /proc/kcore")
the kernel has exported the vmcoreinfo PT_NOTE on /proc/kcore as well
as /proc/vmcore.

arm64 only exposes it's additional arch information via
arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() if built with CONFIG_KEXEC, as kdump was
previously the only user of vmcoreinfo.

Move this weak function to a separate file that is built at the same
time as its caller in kernel/crash_core.c. This ensures values like
'kimage_voffset' are always present in the vmcoreinfo PT_NOTE.

<title>arm64, kaslr: export offset in VMCOREINFO ELF notes</title>

<id>e401b7c2c69008ad2fcdc154f7c5421281c90042</id>
<content type='text'>
Include KASLR offset in arm64 VMCOREINFO ELF notes to assist in
debugging. vmcore parsing in user-space already expects this value in
the notes and we are providing it for portability of those existing
tools with x86.

Ideally we would like core code to do this (so that way this
information won't be missed when an architecture adds KASLR support),
but mips has CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE, and doesn't provide kaslr_offset(),
so I am not sure if this is needed for mips (and other such similar arch
cases in future). So, lets keep this architecture specific for now.

As an example of a user-space use-case, consider the
makedumpfile user-space utility which will need fixup to use this
KASLR offset to work with cases where we need to find a way to
translate symbol address from vmlinux to kernel run time address
in case of KASLR boot on arm64.

I have already submitted the makedumpfile user-space patch upstream
and the maintainer has suggested to wait for the kernel changes to be
included (see [0]).

I tested this on my qualcomm amberwing board both for KASLR and
non-KASLR boot cases:

Without this patch:
   # cat &gt; scrub.conf &lt;&lt; EOF
   [vmlinux]
   erase jiffies
   erase init_task.utime
   for tsk in init_task.tasks.next within task_struct:tasks
       erase tsk.utime
   endfor
   EOF

  # makedumpfile --split -d 31 -x vmlinux --config scrub.conf vmcore dumpfile_{1,2,3}
  readpage_elf: Attempt to read non-existent page at 0xffffa8a5bf180000.
  readmem: type_addr: 1, addr:ffffa8a5bf180000, size:8
  vaddr_to_paddr_arm64: Can't read pgd
  readmem: Can't convert a virtual address(ffff0000092a542c) to physical
  address.
  readmem: type_addr: 0, addr:ffff0000092a542c, size:390
  check_release: Can't get the address of system_utsname

After this patch check_release() is ok, and also we are able to erase
symbol from vmcore (I checked this with kernel 4.18.0-rc4+):

  # makedumpfile --split -d 31 -x vmlinux --config scrub.conf vmcore dumpfile_{1,2,3}
  The kernel version is not supported.
  The makedumpfile operation may be incomplete.

machine_kexec flushes the reboot_code_buffer from the icache
after stopping the other cpus.

Commit 3b8c9f1cdfc5 ("arm64: IPI each CPU after invalidating the I-cache
for kernel mappings") added an IPI call to flush_icache_range, which
causes a hang here, so replace the call with __flush_icache_range

Currently machine_kexec() doesn't reset to EL2 in the case of a
crashdump kernel. This leaves potentially dodgy state active at EL2, and
means that if the crashdump kernel attempts to online secondary CPUs,
these will be booted as mismatched ELs.

Let's reset to EL2, as we do in all other cases, and simplify things. If
EL2 state is corrupt, things are already sufficiently bad that kdump is
unlikely to work, and it's best-effort regardless.

<title>arm64: explicitly mask all exceptions</title>

There are a few places where we want to mask all exceptions. Today we
do this in a piecemeal fashion, typically we expect the caller to
have masked irqs and the arch code masks debug exceptions, ignoring
serror which is probably masked.

Make it clear that 'mask all exceptions' is the intention by adding
helpers to do exactly that.

This will let us unmask SError without having to add 'oh and SError'
to these paths.
