To avoid kexec kernel boot failure on PowerPC, all the present CPUs that
are offline are brought online during kexec. For more information, refer
to commit e8e5c2155b ("powerpc/kexec: Fix orphaned offline CPUs across
kexec"). Bringing the CPUs online triggers the crash hotplug handler,
crash_handle_hotplug_event(), to update the kdump image. Since the system
is on the kexec kernel boot path and the kexec lock is held, the
crash_handle_hotplug_event() function fails to acquire the same lock to
update the kdump image, resulting in the error messages mentioned above.
To fix this, return from crash_handle_hotplug_event() without printing the
error message if kexec is in progress.
The same applies to the crash_check_hotplug_support() function. Return 0
if kexec is in progress because kernel is not in a position to update the
kdump image.

Commit 79365026f8 ("crash: add a new kexec flag for hotplug support")
generalizes the crash hotplug support to allow architectures to update
multiple kexec segments on CPU/Memory hotplug and not just elfcorehdr.
Therefore, update the relevant kernel documentation to reflect the same.
No functional change.

Commit a72bbec70d ("crash: hotplug support for kexec_load()")
introduced a new kexec flag, `KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR`. Kexec tool uses
this flag to indicate to the kernel that it is safe to modify the
elfcorehdr of the kdump image loaded using the kexec_load system call.
However, it is possible that architectures may need to update kexec
segments other then elfcorehdr. For example, FDT (Flatten Device Tree)
on PowerPC. Introducing a new kexec flag for every new kexec segment
may not be a good solution. Hence, a generic kexec flag bit,
`KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT`, is introduced to share the CPU/Memory
hotplug support intent between the kexec tool and the kernel for the
kexec_load system call.
Now we have two kexec flags that enables crash hotplug support for
kexec_load system call. First is KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR (only used in
x86), and second is KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT (for all architectures).
To simplify the process of finding and reporting the crash hotplug
support the following changes are introduced.
1. Define arch specific function to process the kexec flags and
determine crash hotplug support
2. Rename the @update_elfcorehdr member of struct kimage to
@hotplug_support and populate it for both kexec_load and
kexec_file_load syscalls, because architecture can update more than
one kexec segment
3. Let generic function crash_check_hotplug_support report hotplug
support for loaded kdump image based on value of @hotplug_support
To bring the x86 crash hotplug support in line with the above points,
the following changes have been made:
- Introduce the arch_crash_hotplug_support function to process kexec
flags and determine crash hotplug support
- Remove the arch_crash_hotplug_[cpu|memory]_support functions

In the event of memory hotplug or online/offline events, the crash
memory hotplug notifier `crash_memhp_notifier()` receives a
`memory_notify` object but doesn't forward that object to the
generic and architecture-specific crash hotplug handler.
The `memory_notify` object contains the starting PFN (Page Frame Number)
and the number of pages in the hot-removed memory. This information is
necessary for architectures like PowerPC to update/recreate the kdump
image, specifically `elfcorehdr`.
So update the function signature of `crash_handle_hotplug_event()` and
`arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event()` to accept the `memory_notify` object
as an argument from crash memory hotplug notifier.
Since no such object is available in the case of CPU hotplug event, the
crash CPU hotplug notifier `crash_cpuhp_online()` passes NULL to the
crash hotplug handler.

Currently, KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE automatically because crash codes
need be built in to avoid compiling error when building kexec code even
though the crash dumping functionality is not enabled. E.g
--------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
---------------------
After splitting out crashkernel reservation code and vmcoreinfo exporting
code, there's only crash related code left in kernel/crash_core.c. Now
move crash related codes from kexec_core.c to crash_core.c and only build it
in when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y.
And also wrap up crash codes inside CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP ifdeffery scope,
or replace inappropriate CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE ifdef with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
ifdef in generic kernel files.
With these changes, crash_core codes are abstracted from kexec codes and
can be disabled at all if only kexec reboot feature is wanted.

Patch series "Split crash out from kexec and clean up related config
items", v3.
Motivation:
=============
Previously, LKP reported a building error. When investigating, it can't
be resolved reasonablly with the present messy kdump config items.
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202312182200.Ka7MzifQ-lkp@intel.com/
The kdump (crash dumping) related config items could causes confusions:
Firstly,
CRASH_CORE enables codes including
- crashkernel reservation;
- elfcorehdr updating;
- vmcoreinfo exporting;
- crash hotplug handling;
Now fadump of powerpc, kcore dynamic debugging and kdump all selects
CRASH_CORE, while fadump
- fadump needs crashkernel parsing, vmcoreinfo exporting, and accessing
global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr';
- kcore only needs vmcoreinfo exporting;
- kdump needs all of the current kernel/crash_core.c.
So only enabling PROC_CORE or FA_DUMP will enable CRASH_CORE, this
mislead people that we enable crash dumping, actual it's not.
Secondly,
It's not reasonable to allow KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE.
Because KEXEC_CORE enables codes which allocate control pages, copy
kexec/kdump segments, and prepare for switching. These codes are
shared by both kexec reboot and kdump. We could want kexec reboot,
but disable kdump. In that case, CRASH_CORE should not be selected.
--------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
---------------------
Thirdly,
It's not reasonable to allow CRASH_DUMP select KEXEC_CORE.
That could make KEXEC_CORE, CRASH_DUMP are enabled independently from
KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE. However, w/o KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE, the KEXEC_CORE
code built in doesn't make any sense because no kernel loading or
switching will happen to utilize the KEXEC_CORE code.
---------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
---------------------
In this case, what is worse, on arch sh and arm, KEXEC relies on MMU,
while CRASH_DUMP can still be enabled when !MMU, then compiling error is
seen as the lkp test robot reported in above link.
------arch/sh/Kconfig------
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
def_bool MMU
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP
def_bool BROKEN_ON_SMP
---------------------------
Changes:
===========
1, split out crash_reserve.c from crash_core.c;
2, split out vmcore_infoc. from crash_core.c;
3, move crash related codes in kexec_core.c into crash_core.c;
4, remove dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP;
5, clean up kdump related config items;
6, wrap up crash codes in crash related ifdefs on all 8 arch-es
which support crash dumping, except of ppc;
Achievement:
===========
With above changes, I can rearrange the config item logic as below (the right
item depends on or is selected by the left item):
PROC_KCORE -----------> VMCORE_INFO
|----------> VMCORE_INFO
FA_DUMP----|
|----------> CRASH_RESERVE
---->VMCORE_INFO
/
|---->CRASH_RESERVE
KEXEC --| /|
|--> KEXEC_CORE--> CRASH_DUMP-->/-|---->PROC_VMCORE
KEXEC_FILE --| \ |
\---->CRASH_HOTPLUG
KEXEC --|
|--> KEXEC_CORE (for kexec reboot only)
KEXEC_FILE --|
Test
========
On all 8 architectures, including x86_64, arm64, s390x, sh, arm, mips,
riscv, loongarch, I did below three cases of config item setting and
building all passed. Take configs on x86_64 as exampmle here:
(1) Both CONFIG_KEXEC and KEXEC_FILE is unset, then all kexec/kdump
items are unset automatically:
# Kexec and crash features
# CONFIG_KEXEC is not set
# CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is not set
# end of Kexec and crash features
(2) set CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE and 'make olddefconfig':
---------------
# Kexec and crash features
CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE=y
CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES=8192
# end of Kexec and crash features
---------------
(3) unset CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP in case 2 and execute 'make olddefconfig':
------------------------
# Kexec and crash features
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
# end of Kexec and crash features
------------------------
Note:
For ppc, it needs investigation to make clear how to split out crash
code in arch folder. Hope Hari and Pingfan can help have a look, see if
it's doable. Now, I make it either have both kexec and crash enabled, or
disable both of them altogether.
This patch (of 14):
Both kdump and fa_dump of ppc rely on crashkernel reservation. Move the
relevant codes into separate files: crash_reserve.c,
include/linux/crash_reserve.h.
And also add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling of the
codes. And update config items which has relationship with crashkernel
reservation.
And also change ifdeffery from CONFIG_CRASH_CORE to CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE
when those scopes are only crashkernel reservation related.
And also rename arch/XXX/include/asm/{crash_core.h => crash_reserve.h} on
arm64, x86 and risc-v because those architectures' crash_core.h is only
related to crashkernel reservation.

The purpose of crash_exclude_mem_range() is to remove all memory ranges
that overlap with [mstart-mend]. However, the current logic only removes
the first overlapping memory range.
Commit a2e9a95d21 ("kexec: Improve & fix crash_exclude_mem_range() to
handle overlapping ranges") attempted to address this issue, but it did
not fix all error cases.
Let's fix and simplify the logic of crash_exclude_mem_range().

If crash_base is equal to CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX, it also indicates that
the crashkernel memory is allocated from high memory. However, the
current check only considers the case where crash_base is greater than
CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX. Fix it.
The runtime effects is that crashkernel high memory is successfully
reserved, whereas the crashkernel low memory is bypassed in this case,
then kdump kernel bootup will fail because of no low memory under 4G.
This patch also includes some minor cleanups.

Meanwhile include <asm/crash_core.h> in <linux/crash_core.h> if generic

Patch series "kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel
reservation in arch", v3.
In the current arm64, crashkernel=,high support has been finished after
several rounds of posting and careful reviewing. The code in arm64 which
parses crashkernel kernel parameters firstly, then reserve memory can be a
good example for other ARCH to refer to.
Whereas in x86_64, the code mixing crashkernel parameter parsing and
memory reserving is twisted, and looks messy. Refactoring the code to
make it more readable maintainable is necessary.
Here, firstly abstract the crashkernel parameter parsing code into
parse_crashkernel() to make it be able to parse crashkernel=,high|low.
Then abstract the crashkernel memory reserving code into a generic
function reserve_crashkernel_generic(). Finally, in ARCH which
crashkernel=,high support is needed, a simple arch_reserve_crashkernel()
can be added to call above two functions. This can remove the duplicated
implmentation code in each ARCH, like arm64, x86_64 and riscv.
crashkernel=512M,high
crashkernel=512M,high crashkernel=256M,low
crashkernel=512M,high crashkernel=0M,low
crashkernel=0M,high crashkernel=256M,low

crashkernel=512M@0x4f000000
crashkernel=1G-4G:256M,4G-64G:320M,64G-:576M
crashkernel=0M
This patch (of 9):
In all call sites of __parse_crashkernel(), the parameter 'name' is
hardcoded as "crashkernel=". So remove the unnecessary parameter 'name',
add local varibale 'name' inside __parse_crashkernel() instead.

The memory hotplug events are notified very quickly and very many, while
the handling of crash hotplug is much slower relatively. So the atomic

Here, add a new mutex lock __crash_hotplug_lock to serialize crash hotplug

The function crash_prepare_elf64_headers() generates the elfcorehdr which
describes the CPUs and memory in the system for the crash kernel. In
particular, it writes out ELF PT_NOTEs for memory regions and the CPUs in
the system.
With respect to the CPUs, the current implementation utilizes
for_each_present_cpu() which means that as CPUs are added and removed, the
elfcorehdr must again be updated to reflect the new set of CPUs.
The reasoning behind the move to use for_each_possible_cpu(), is:
- At kernel boot time, all percpu crash_notes are allocated for all
possible CPUs; that is, crash_notes are not allocated dynamically
when CPUs are plugged/unplugged. Thus the crash_notes for each
possible CPU are always available.
- The crash_prepare_elf64_headers() creates an ELF PT_NOTE per CPU.
Changing to for_each_possible_cpu() is valid as the crash_notes
pointed to by each CPU PT_NOTE are present and always valid.
Furthermore, examining a common crash processing path of:
kernel panic -> crash kernel -> makedumpfile -> 'crash' analyzer
elfcorehdr /proc/vmcore vmcore
reveals how the ELF CPU PT_NOTEs are utilized:
- Upon panic, each CPU is sent an IPI and shuts itself down, recording
its state in its crash_notes. When all CPUs are shutdown, the
crash kernel is launched with a pointer to the elfcorehdr.
- The crash kernel via linux/fs/proc/vmcore.c does not examine or
use the contents of the PT_NOTEs, it exposes them via /proc/vmcore.
- The makedumpfile utility uses /proc/vmcore and reads the CPU
PT_NOTEs to craft a nr_cpus variable, which is reported in a
header but otherwise generally unused. Makedumpfile creates the
vmcore.
- The 'crash' dump analyzer does not appear to reference the CPU
PT_NOTEs. Instead it looks-up the cpu_[possible|present|onlin]_mask
symbols and directly examines those structure contents from vmcore
memory. From that information it is able to determine which CPUs
are present and online, and locate the corresponding crash_notes.
Said differently, it appears that 'crash' analyzer does not rely
on the ELF PT_NOTEs for CPUs; rather it obtains the information
directly via kernel symbols and the memory within the vmcore.
(There maybe other vmcore generating and analysis tools that do use these
PT_NOTEs, but 'makedumpfile' and 'crash' seems to be the most common
solution.)
This results in the benefit of having all CPUs described in the
elfcorehdr, and therefore reducing the need to re-generate the elfcorehdr
on CPU changes, at the small expense of an additional 56 bytes per PT_NOTE
for not-present-but-possible CPUs.
On systems where kexec_file_load() syscall is utilized, all the above is
valid. On systems where kexec_load() syscall is utilized, there may be
the need for the elfcorehdr to be regenerated once. The reason being that
some archs only populate the 'present' CPUs from the
/sys/devices/system/cpus entries, which the userspace 'kexec' utility uses
to generate the userspace-supplied elfcorehdr. In this situation, one
memory or CPU change will rewrite the elfcorehdr via the
crash_prepare_elf64_headers() function and now all possible CPUs will be
described, just as with kexec_file_load() syscall.

The hotplug support for kexec_load() requires changes to the userspace
kexec-tools and a little extra help from the kernel.
Given a kdump capture kernel loaded via kexec_load(), and a subsequent
hotplug event, the crash hotplug handler finds the elfcorehdr and rewrites
it to reflect the hotplug change. That is the desired outcome, however,
at kernel panic time, the purgatory integrity check fails (because the
elfcorehdr changed), and the capture kernel does not boot and no vmcore is
generated.
Therefore, the userspace kexec-tools/kexec must indicate to the kernel
that the elfcorehdr can be modified (because the kexec excluded the
elfcorehdr from the digest, and sized the elfcorehdr memory buffer
appropriately).
To facilitate hotplug support with kexec_load():
- a new kexec flag KEXEC_UPATE_ELFCOREHDR indicates that it is
safe for the kernel to modify the kexec_load()'d elfcorehdr
- the /sys/kernel/crash_elfcorehdr_size node communicates the
preferred size of the elfcorehdr memory buffer
- The sysfs crash_hotplug nodes (ie.
/sys/devices/system/[cpu|memory]/crash_hotplug) dynamically
take into account kexec_file_load() vs kexec_load() and
KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR.
This is critical so that the udev rule processing of crash_hotplug
is all that is needed to determine if the userspace unload-then-load
of the kdump image is to be skipped, or not. The proposed udev
rule change looks like:
# The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes
SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
The table below indicates the behavior of kexec_load()'d kdump image
updates (with the new udev crash_hotplug rule in place):
Kernel |Kexec
-------+-----+----
Old |Old |New
| a | a
-------+-----+----
New | a | b
-------+-----+----
where kexec 'old' and 'new' delineate kexec-tools has the needed
modifications for the crash hotplug feature, and kernel 'old' and 'new'
delineate the kernel supports this crash hotplug feature.
Behavior 'a' indicates the unload-then-reload of the entire kdump image.
For the kexec 'old' column, the unload-then-reload occurs due to the
missing flag KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR. An 'old' kernel (with 'new' kexec)
does not present the crash_hotplug sysfs node, which leads to the
unload-then-reload of the kdump image.
Behavior 'b' indicates the desired optimized behavior of the kernel
directly modifying the elfcorehdr and avoiding the unload-then-reload of
the kdump image.
If the udev rule is not updated with crash_hotplug node check, then no
matter any combination of kernel or kexec is new or old, the kdump image
continues to be unload-then-reload on hotplug changes.
To fully support crash hotplug feature, there needs to be a rollout of
kernel, kexec-tools and udev rule changes. However, the order of the
rollout of these pieces does not matter; kexec_load()'d kdump images still
function for hotplug as-is.

To support crash hotplug, a mechanism is needed to update the crash
elfcorehdr upon CPU or memory changes (eg. hot un/plug or off/ onlining).
The crash elfcorehdr describes the CPUs and memory to be written into the
vmcore.
To track CPU changes, callbacks are registered with the cpuhp mechanism
via cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls(CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN). The crash hotplug
elfcorehdr update has no explicit ordering requirement (relative to other
cpuhp states), so meets the criteria for utilizing CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN.
CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN is a dynamic state and avoids the need to introduce a
new state for crash hotplug. Also, CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN is the last state
in the PREPARE group, just prior to the STARTING group, which is very
close to the CPU starting up in a plug/online situation, or stopping in a
unplug/ offline situation. This minimizes the window of time during an
actual plug/online or unplug/offline situation in which the elfcorehdr
would be inaccurate. Note that for a CPU being unplugged or offlined, the
CPU will still be present in the list of CPUs generated by
crash_prepare_elf64_headers(). However, there is no need to explicitly
omit the CPU, see justification in 'crash: change
crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu()'.
To track memory changes, a notifier is registered to capture the memblock
MEM_ONLINE and MEM_OFFLINE events via register_memory_notifier().
The CPU callbacks and memory notifiers invoke crash_handle_hotplug_event()
which performs needed tasks and then dispatches the event to the
architecture specific arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event() to update the
elfcorehdr with the current state of CPUs and memory. During the process,
the kexec_lock is held.

Patch series "crash: Kernel handling of CPU and memory hot un/plug", v28.
Once the kdump service is loaded, if changes to CPUs or memory occur,
either by hot un/plug or off/onlining, the crash elfcorehdr must also be
updated.
The elfcorehdr describes to kdump the CPUs and memory in the system, and
any inaccuracies can result in a vmcore with missing CPU context or memory
regions.
The current solution utilizes udev to initiate an unload-then-reload of
the kdump image (eg. kernel, initrd, boot_params, purgatory and
elfcorehdr) by the userspace kexec utility. In the original post I
outlined the significant performance problems related to offloading this
activity to userspace.
This patchset introduces a generic crash handler that registers with the
CPU and memory notifiers. Upon CPU or memory changes, from either hot
un/plug or off/onlining, this generic handler is invoked and performs
important housekeeping, for example obtaining the appropriate lock, and
then invokes an architecture specific handler to do the appropriate
elfcorehdr update.
Note the description in patch 'crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers()
to for_each_possible_cpu()' and 'x86/crash: optimize CPU changes' that
enables further optimizations related to CPU plug/unplug/online/offline
performance of elfcorehdr updates.
In the case of x86_64, the arch specific handler generates a new
elfcorehdr, and overwrites the old one in memory; thus no involvement with
userspace needed.
To realize the benefits/test this patchset, one must make a couple
of minor changes to userspace:
- Prevent udev from updating kdump crash kernel on hot un/plug changes.
Add the following as the first lines to the RHEL udev rule file
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules:
# The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes
SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
With this changeset applied, the two rules evaluate to false for
CPU and memory change events and thus skip the userspace
unload-then-reload of kdump.
- Change to the kexec_file_load for loading the kdump kernel:
Eg. on RHEL: in /usr/bin/kdumpctl, change to:
standard_kexec_args="-p -d -s"
which adds the -s to select kexec_file_load() syscall.
This kernel patchset also supports kexec_load() with a modified kexec
userspace utility. A working changeset to the kexec userspace utility is
posted to the kexec-tools mailing list here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2023-May/027049.html
To use the kexec-tools patch, apply, build and install kexec-tools, then
change the kdumpctl's standard_kexec_args to replace the -s with
--hotplug. The removal of -s reverts to the kexec_load syscall and the
addition of --hotplug invokes the changes put forth in the kexec-tools
patch.
This patch (of 8):
The crash hotplug support leans on the work for the kexec_file_load()
syscall. To also support the kexec_load() syscall, a few bits of code
need to be move outside of CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE. As such, these bits are
moved out of kexec_file.c and into a common location crash_core.c.
In addition, struct crash_mem and crash_notes were moved to new locales so
that PROC_KCORE, which sets CRASH_CORE alone, builds correctly.
No functionality change intended.

Though vmcoreinfo is intended to be small, at just one page, useful
information is still added to it, so we risk running out of space.
Currently there is no runtime check to see whether the vmcoreinfo buffer
has been exhausted. Add a warning for this case.
Currently, my static checking tool[1] indicates that a good upper bound
for vmcoreinfo size is currently 3415 bytes, but the best time to add
warnings is before the risk becomes too high.

The total memory size we get in kernel is usually slightly less than the
actual memory size because BIOS/firmware will reserve some memory region.
So it won't export all memory as usable.
E.g, on my x86_64 kvm guest with 1G memory, the total_mem value shows:
UEFI boot with ovmf: 0x3faef000 Legacy boot kvm guest: 0x3ff7ec00
When specifying crashkernel=1G-2G:128M, if we have a 1G memory machine, we
get total size 1023M from firmware. Then it will not fall into 1G-2G,
thus no memory reserved. User will never know this, it is hard to let
user know the exact total value in kernel.
One way is to use dmi/smbios to get physical memory size, but it's not
reliable as well. According to Prarit hardware vendors sometimes screw
this up. Thus round up total size to 128M to work around this problem.
This patch is a resend of [1] and rebased onto v5.19-rc2, and the
original credit goes to Dave Young.

The internal kallsyms tables contain information which could be quite
useful to a debugging tool in the absence of other debuginfo. If kallsyms
is enabled, then a debugging tool could parse it and use it as a fallback
symbol table. Combined with BTF data, live & post-mortem debuggers can
support basic operations without needing a large DWARF debuginfo file
available. As many as five symbols are necessary to properly parse
kallsyms names and addresses. Add these to the vmcoreinfo note.
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU does impact the computation of symbol
addresses. However, a debugger can infer this configuration value by
comparing the address of _stext in the vmcoreinfo with the address
computed via kallsyms. So there's no need to include information about
this config value in the vmcoreinfo note.
To verify that we're still well below the maximum of 4096 bytes, I created
a script[1] to compute a rough upper bound on the possible size of
vmcoreinfo. On v5.18-rc7, the script reports 3106 bytes, and with this
patch, the maximum become 3370 bytes.

According to the current crashkernel=Y,low support in other ARCHes, it's
an optional command-line option. When it doesn't exist, kernel will try
to allocate minimum required memory below 4G automatically.
However, __parse_crashkernel() returns '-EINVAL' for all error cases. It
can't distinguish the nonexistent option from invalid option.
Change __parse_crashkernel() to return '-ENOENT' for the nonexistent option
case. With this change, crashkernel,low memory will take the default
value if crashkernel=,low is not specified; while crashkernel reservation
will fail and bail out if an invalid option is specified.

This comes from crashkernel= being parsed independent from the kernel

that crashkernel= is a valid kernel parameter and prints this incorrect

As mentioned in kernel commit 1d50e5d0c5 ("crash_core, vmcoreinfo:
Append 'MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS' to vmcoreinfo"), SECTION_SIZE_BITS in the
formula:
#define SECTIONS_SHIFT (MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS - SECTION_SIZE_BITS)
Besides SECTIONS_SHIFT, SECTION_SIZE_BITS is also used to calculate
PAGES_PER_SECTION in makedumpfile just like kernel.
Unfortunately, this arch-dependent macro SECTION_SIZE_BITS changes, e.g.
recently in kernel commit f0b13ee232 ("arm64/sparsemem: reduce
SECTION_SIZE_BITS"). But user space wants a stable interface to get
this info. Such info is impossible to be deduced from a crashdump
vmcore. Hence append SECTION_SIZE_BITS to vmcoreinfo.

Currently <crypto/sha.h> contains declarations for both SHA-1 and SHA-2,
and <crypto/sha3.h> contains declarations for SHA-3.
This organization is inconsistent, but more importantly SHA-1 is no
longer considered to be cryptographically secure. So to the extent
possible, SHA-1 shouldn't be grouped together with any of the other SHA
versions, and usage of it should be phased out.
Therefore, split <crypto/sha.h> into two headers <crypto/sha1.h> and
<crypto/sha2.h>, and make everyone explicitly specify whether they want
the declarations for SHA-1, SHA-2, or both.
This avoids making the SHA-1 declarations visible to files that don't
want anything to do with SHA-1. It also prepares for potentially moving
sha1.h into a new insecure/ or dangerous/ directory.

VMCOREINFO lacks uniquely identifiable key for crash analysis automation.
Regarding if this patch is necessary or matching of linux_banner and
OSRELEASE in VMCOREINFO employed by crash(8) meets the need -- IMO,
build-id approach more foolproof, in most instances it is a cryptographic
hash generated using internal code/ELF bits unlike kernel version string
upon which linux_banner is based that is external to the code. I feel
each is intended for a different purpose. Also OSRELEASE is not suitable
when two different kernel builds from same version with different features
enabled.
Currently for most linux (and non-linux) systems build-id can be extracted
using standard methods for file types such as user mode crash dumps,
shared libraries, loadable kernel modules etc., This is an exception for
linux kernel dump. Having build-id in VMCOREINFO brings some uniformity
for automation tools.

: I think this is a nice improvement over today's linux_banner approach for
: correlating vmlinux to a kernel dump.

: The elf notes parsing in this patch lines up with what is described in in
: the "Notes (Nhdr)" section of the elf(5) man page.

: BUILD_ID_MAX is sufficient to hold a sha1 build-id, which is the default
: build-id type today in GNU ld(2). It is also sufficient to hold the
: "fast" build-id, which is the default build-id type today in LLVM lld(2).
