powerpc/kexec: Move kexec files into a dedicated subdir.

2019-11-21T04:41:34+00:00

arch/powerpc/kernel/ contains 8 files dedicated to kexec.

Move them into a dedicated subdirectory.

powerpc/fsl_booke/kaslr: export offset in VMCOREINFO ELF notes

2019-11-13T08:27:54+00:00

Like all other architectures such as x86 or arm64, include KASLR offset
in VMCOREINFO ELF notes to assist in debugging. After this, we can use
crash --kaslr option to parse vmcore generated from a kaslr kernel.

Note: The crash tool needs to support --kaslr too.

powerpc/kdump: Handle crashkernel memory reservation failure

2018-07-04T12:40:24+00:00

Memory reservation for crashkernel could fail if there are holes around
kdump kernel offset (128M). Fail gracefully in such cases and print an
error message.

powerpc64/kexec: Hard disable ftrace before switching to the new kernel

2018-05-03T12:32:27+00:00

If function_graph tracer is enabled during kexec, we see the below
exception in the simulator:
	root@(none):/# kexec -e
	kvm: exiting hardware virtualization
	kexec_core: Starting new kernel
	[   19.262020070,5] OPAL: Switch to big-endian OS
	kexec: Starting switchover sequence.
	Interrupt to 0xC000000000004380 from 0xC000000000004380
	** Execution stopped: Continuous Interrupt, Instruction caused exception,  **

Now that we have a more effective way to completely disable ftrace on
ppc64, let's also use that before switching to a new kernel during
kexec.

powerpc: Update of_remove_property() call sites to remove null checking

2016-05-11T11:54:04+00:00

After obtaining a property from of_find_property() and before calling
of_remove_property() most code checks to ensure that the property
returned from of_find_property() is not null. The previous patch moved
this check to the start of the function of_remove_property() in order to
avoid the case where this check isn't done and a null value is passed.
This ensures the check is always conducted before taking locks and
attempting to remove the property. Thus it is no longer necessary to
perform a check for null values before invoking of_remove_property().

Update of_remove_property() call sites in order to remove redundant
checking for null property value as check is now performed within the
of_remove_property function().

powerpc: Fix up the kdump base cap to 128M

2013-12-10T00:28:39+00:00

The current logic sets the kdump base to min of 2G or ppc64_rma_size/2.
On PowerNV kernel the first memory block 'memory@0' can be very large,
equal to the DIMM size with ppc64_rma_size value capped to 1G. Hence on
PowerNV, kdump base is set to 512M resulting kdump to fail while allocating
paca array. This is because, paca need its memory from RMA region capped
at 256M (see allocate_pacas()).

This patch lowers the kdump base cap to 128M so that kdump kernel can
successfully get memory below 256M for paca allocation.

powerpc/kdump: Adding symbols in vmcoreinfo to facilitate dump filtering

2013-11-25T00:50:12+00:00

When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP option is used in kernel, makedumpfile fails
to filter vmcore dump as it fails to do vmemmap translations. So far
dump filtering on ppc64 never had to deal with vmemmap addresses seperately
as vmemmap regions where mapped in zone normal. But with the inclusion of
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP config option in kernel, this vmemmap address
translation support becomes necessary for dump filtering. For vmemmap adress
translation, few kernel symbols are needed by dump filtering tool. This patch
adds those symbols to vmcoreinfo, which a dump filtering tool can use for
filtering the kernel dump. Tested this changes successfully with makedumpfile
tool that supports vmemmap to physical address translation outside zone normal.
