powerpc/crash: use generic crashkernel reservation

2025-03-17T05:30:48+00:00

Commit 0ab97169aa05 ("crash_core: add generic function to do reservation")
added a generic function to reserve crashkernel memory.  So let's use the
same function on powerpc and remove the architecture-specific code that
essentially does the same thing.

The generic crashkernel reservation also provides a way to split the
crashkernel reservation into high and low memory reservations, which can
be enabled for powerpc in the future.

Along with moving to the generic crashkernel reservation, the code related
to finding the base address for the crashkernel has been separated into
its own function name get_crash_base() for better readability and
maintainability.

powerpc/fadump: allocate memory for additional parameters early

2024-11-10T11:33:52+00:00

Memory for passing additional parameters to fadump capture kernel
is allocated during subsys_initcall level, using memblock. But
as slab is already available by this time, allocation happens via
the buddy allocator. This may work for radix MMU but is likely to
fail in most cases for hash MMU as hash MMU needs this memory in
the first memory block for it to be accessible in real mode in the
capture kernel (second boot). So, allocate memory for additional
parameters area as soon as MMU mode is obvious.

of/fdt: add dt_phys arg to early_init_dt_scan and early_init_dt_verify

2024-10-29T20:32:45+00:00

 __pa() is only intended to be used for linear map addresses and using
it for initial_boot_params which is in fixmap for arm64 will give an
incorrect value. Hence save the physical address when it is known at
boot time when calling early_init_dt_scan for arm64 and use it at kexec
time instead of converting the virtual address using __pa().

Note that arm64 doesn't need the FDT region reserved in the DT as the
kernel explicitly reserves the passed in FDT. Therefore, only a debug
warning is fixed with this change.

powerpc/prom: Add CPU info to hardware description string later

2024-06-28T12:31:00+00:00

cur_cpu_spec->cpu_name is appended to ppc_hw_desc before cur_cpu_spec
has taken on its final value. This is illustrated on pseries by
comparing the CPU name as reported at boot ("POWER8E (raw)") to the
contents of /proc/cpuinfo ("POWER8 (architected)"):

  $ dmesg | grep Hardware
  Hardware name: IBM,8408-E8E POWER8E (raw) 0x4b0201 0xf000004 \
    of:IBM,FW860.50 (SV860_146) hv:phyp pSeries

  $ grep -m 1 ^cpu /proc/cpuinfo
  cpu             : POWER8 (architected), altivec supported

Some 44x models would appear to be affected as well; see
identical_pvr_fixup().

This results in incorrect CPU information in stack dumps --
ppc_hw_desc is an input to dump_stack_set_arch_desc().

Delay gathering the CPU name until after all potential calls to
identify_cpu().

powerpc: Fix preserved memory size for int-vectors

2024-05-07T13:23:35+00:00

The first 32k of memory is reserved for interrupt vectors, however for
powerpc64 this might not be enough. Fix this by reserving the maximum
size between 32k and the real size of interrupt vectors.

powerpc/mm: Update the memory limit based on direct mapping restrictions

2024-04-19T06:09:14+00:00

memory limit value specified by the user are further updated such that
the value is 16MB aligned. This is because hash translation mode use
16MB as direct mapping page size. Make sure we update the global
variable 'memory_limit' with the 16MB aligned value such that all kernel
components will see the new aligned value of the memory limit.

powerpc/mm: Align memory_limit value specified using mem= kernel parameter

2024-04-19T06:09:14+00:00

The value specified for the memory limit is used to set a restriction on
memory usage. It is important to ensure that this restriction is within
the linear map kernel address space range. The hash page table
translation uses a 16MB page size to map the kernel linear map address
space. htab_bolt_mapping() function aligns down the size of the range
while mapping kernel linear address space. Since the memblock limit is
enforced very early during boot, before we can detect the type of memory
translation (radix vs hash), we align the memory limit value specified
as a kernel parameter to 16MB. This alignment value will work for both
hash and radix translations.

powerpc/kdump: Split KEXEC_CORE and CRASH_DUMP dependency

2024-03-17T02:34:00+00:00

Remove CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE
was used at places where CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP or CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE was
appropriate. Replace with appropriate #ifdefs to support CONFIG_KEXEC
and !CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP configuration option. Also, make CONFIG_FA_DUMP
dependent on CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP to avoid unmet dependencies for FA_DUMP
with !CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE configuration option.
