07d2490297 kexec: enable CMA based contiguous allocation
When booting a new kernel with kexec_file, the kernel picks a target
location that the kernel should live at, then allocates random pages,
checks whether any of those patches magically happens to coincide with a
target address range and if so, uses them for that range.

For every page allocated this way, it then creates a page list that the
relocation code - code that executes while all CPUs are off and we are
just about to jump into the new kernel - copies to their final memory
location.  We can not put them there before, because chances are pretty
good that at least some page in the target range is already in use by the
currently running Linux environment.  Copying is happening from a single
CPU at RAM rate, which takes around 4-50 ms per 100 MiB.

All of this is inefficient and error prone.

To successfully kexec, we need to quiesce all devices of the outgoing
kernel so they don't scribble over the new kernel's memory.  We have seen
cases where that does not happen properly (*cough* GIC *cough*) and hence
the new kernel was corrupted.  This started a month long journey to root
cause failing kexecs to eventually see memory corruption, because the new
kernel was corrupted severely enough that it could not emit output to tell
us about the fact that it was corrupted.  By allocating memory for the
next kernel from a memory range that is guaranteed scribbling free, we can
boot the next kernel up to a point where it is at least able to detect
corruption and maybe even stop it before it becomes severe.  This
increases the chance for successful kexecs.

Since kexec got introduced, Linux has gained the CMA framework which can
perform physically contiguous memory mappings, while keeping that memory
available for movable memory when it is not needed for contiguous
allocations.  The default CMA allocator is for DMA allocations.

This patch adds logic to the kexec file loader to attempt to place the
target payload at a location allocated from CMA.  If successful, it uses
that memory range directly instead of creating copy instructions during
the hot phase.  To ensure that there is a safety net in case anything goes
wrong with the CMA allocation, it also adds a flag for user space to force
disable CMA allocations.

Using CMA allocations has two advantages:

  1) Faster by 4-50 ms per 100 MiB. There is no more need to copy in the
     hot phase.
  2) More robust. Even if by accident some page is still in use for DMA,
     the new kernel image will be safe from that access because it resides
     in a memory region that is considered allocated in the old kernel and
     has a chance to reinitialize that component.

00c010e130 - The 11 patch series "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox
simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a
   folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must
   implement to provide this.
 
 - The 8 patch series "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox
   is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which
   clean things up and better prepare us for future work.
 
 - The 3 patch series "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment
   advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from
   leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not
   aligned to memory block size.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive
   compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly,
   hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation
   of proactive compaction.  In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest
   VM's memory consumption was dramatic.
 
 - The 8 patch series "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing
   code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency
   improvement to this part of our swap handling code.
 
 - The 6 patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API"
   from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls
   arguments.  At this time we can alter only "system call information that
   are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number,
   syscall arguments, and syscall return value.
 
   This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
   branch, but I goofed.
 
 - The 3 patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report
   guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the
   PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap.  This permits CRIU to more
   efficiently get at the info about guard regions.
 
 - The 2 patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()"
   from Gavin Shan implements that fix.  No runtime effect is expected
   because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.
 
 - The 3 patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode()
   rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into
   the current decade.  Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in
   favor of using more current facilities.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64"
   from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the
   pte dumping code.  This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table
   Descriptors are enabled for ARM.
 
 - The 12 patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables"
   from Kevin Brodsky "ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for
   kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables".  This permits the
   addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page
   tables".  This change does result in various architectures performing
   unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur.
 
 - The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and
   mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM
   structures.
 
 - The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities
   which we've been missing for 15 years.
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED
   and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB
   flushing.  Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec,
   we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries.  The syscall's cost
   was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
   load this particular operation.
 
 - The 6 patch series "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation
   counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
   preallocation.  stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit
   percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was
   dramaticelly reduced.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from
   Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when
   reading the code.
 
 - The 3 patch series ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in
   weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave
   policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling,
   fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory
   hotplug support".  Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to
   hit.
 
 - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups
   including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota
   goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when
   utilizing DAMON for memory tiering.
 
 - The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from
   Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which
   Baoquan found via code inspection.
 
 - The 2 patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion"
   from Gregory Price "changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective
   during demotion when possible".  because "presently, reclaim explicitly
   ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
   settings to violated." "This is useful for isolating workloads on a
   multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently."
 
 - The 2 patch series ""Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove
   unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and
   efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
 
 - The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang
   creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory
   utilization.
 
 - The 4 patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and
   lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness="
   argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.  This directs proactive
   reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios.
 
 - The 17 patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike
   Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to
   maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based
   kexec.  At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
 
 - The 7 patch series "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David
   Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range.
   By skipping ranges of invalid pfns.
 
 - The 2 patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to
   one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless
   VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.  Dramatic
   performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
 
 - The 2 patch series "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for
   jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs
   during memory compaction when using JFS.
 
 - The 4 patch series "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication
   logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c
   into the more appropriate mm/vma.c.
 
 - The 6 patch series "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from
   Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the
   folio_index() function.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal
   Moola does that.
 
 - The 8 patch series "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from
   Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by
   the test_memcontrol selftest.
 
 - The 3 patch series "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare
   hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of
   file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new
   file_operations.mmap_prepare().  The latter is more restrictive and
   prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other
   problems, may defeat VMA merging.
 
 - The 4 patch series "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from
   Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's
   one.  This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
   NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.
 
 - The 6 patch series "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code,
   tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is "yet another batch of
   miscellaneous DAMON changes.  Fix and improve minor problems in code,
   tests and documents."
 
 - The 7 patch series "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel
   Butt converts memcg stats to be irq safe.  Another step along the way to
   making memcg charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.
 
 - The 4 patch series "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related
   functions take folio instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio
   conversions in the hugetlb code.

bf454ec31a kexec_file: allow to place kexec_buf randomly
Patch series "Support kdump with LUKS encryption by reusing LUKS volume
keys", v9.

LUKS is the standard for Linux disk encryption, widely adopted by users,
and in some cases, such as Confidential VMs, it is a requirement.  With
kdump enabled, when the first kernel crashes, the system can boot into the
kdump/crash kernel to dump the memory image (i.e., /proc/vmcore) to a
specified target.  However, there are two challenges when dumping vmcore
to a LUKS-encrypted device:

 - Kdump kernel may not be able to decrypt the LUKS partition. For some
   machines, a system administrator may not have a chance to enter the
   password to decrypt the device in kdump initramfs after the 1st kernel
   crashes; For cloud confidential VMs, depending on the policy the
   kdump kernel may not be able to unseal the keys with TPM and the
   console virtual keyboard is untrusted.

 - LUKS2 by default use the memory-hard Argon2 key derivation function
   which is quite memory-consuming compared to the limited memory reserved
   for kdump. Take Fedora example, by default, only 256M is reserved for
   systems having memory between 4G-64G. With LUKS enabled, ~1300M needs
   to be reserved for kdump. Note if the memory reserved for kdump can't
   be used by 1st kernel i.e. an user sees ~1300M memory missing in the
   1st kernel.

Besides users (at least for Fedora) usually expect kdump to work out of
the box i.e.  no manual password input or custom crashkernel value is
needed.  And it doesn't make sense to derivate the keys again in kdump
kernel which seems to be redundant work.

This patchset addresses the above issues by making the LUKS volume keys
persistent for kdump kernel with the help of cryptsetup's new APIs
(--link-vk-to-keyring/--volume-key-keyring).  Here is the life cycle of
the kdump copies of LUKS volume keys,

 1. After the 1st kernel loads the initramfs during boot, systemd
    use an user-input passphrase to de-crypt the LUKS volume keys
    or TPM-sealed key and then save the volume keys to specified keyring
    (using the --link-vk-to-keyring API) and the key will expire within
    specified time.

 2. A user space tool (kdump initramfs loader like kdump-utils) create
    key items inside /sys/kernel/config/crash_dm_crypt_keys to inform
    the 1st kernel which keys are needed.

 3. When the kdump initramfs is loaded by the kexec_file_load
    syscall, the 1st kernel will iterate created key items, save the
    keys to kdump reserved memory.

 4. When the 1st kernel crashes and the kdump initramfs is booted, the
    kdump initramfs asks the kdump kernel to create a user key using the
    key stored in kdump reserved memory by writing yes to
    /sys/kernel/crash_dm_crypt_keys/restore. Then the LUKS encrypted
    device is unlocked with libcryptsetup's --volume-key-keyring API.

 5. The system gets rebooted to the 1st kernel after dumping vmcore to
    the LUKS encrypted device is finished

After libcryptsetup saving the LUKS volume keys to specified keyring,
whoever takes this should be responsible for the safety of these copies of
keys.  The keys will be saved in the memory area exclusively reserved for
kdump where even the 1st kernel has no direct access.  And further more,
two additional protections are added,
 - save the copy randomly in kdump reserved memory as suggested by Jan
 - clear the _PAGE_PRESENT flag of the page that stores the copy as
   suggested by Pingfan

This patchset only supports x86.  There will be patches to support other
architectures once this patch set gets merged.


This patch (of 9):

Currently, kexec_buf is placed in order which means for the same machine,
the info in the kexec_buf is always located at the same position each time
the machine is booted.  This may cause a risk for sensitive information
like LUKS volume key.  Now struct kexec_buf has a new field random which
indicates it's supposed to be placed in a random position.

Note this feature is enabled only when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is enabled.  So
it only takes effect for kdump and won't impact kexec reboot.

3bdecc3c93 kexec: add KHO support to kexec file loads
Kexec has 2 modes: A user space driven mode and a kernel driven mode.  For
the kernel driven mode, kernel code determines the physical addresses of
all target buffers that the payload gets copied into.

With KHO, we can only safely copy payloads into the "scratch area".  Teach
the kexec file loader about it, so it only allocates for that area.  In
addition, enlighten it with support to ask the KHO subsystem for its
respective payloads to copy into target memory.  Also teach the KHO
subsystem how to fill the images for file loads.

9ee8888a80 ima: kexec: skip IMA segment validation after kexec soft reboot
Currently, the function kexec_calculate_store_digests() calculates and
stores the digest of the segment during the kexec_file_load syscall,
where the  IMA segment is also allocated.

Later, the IMA segment will be updated with the measurement log at the
kexec execute stage when a kexec reboot is initiated. Therefore, the
digests should be updated for the IMA segment in the  normal case. The
problem is that the content of memory segments carried over to the new
kernel during the kexec systemcall can be changed at kexec 'execute'
stage, but the size and the location of the memory segments cannot be
changed at kexec 'execute' stage.

To address this, skip the calculation and storage of the digest for the
IMA segment in kexec_calculate_store_digests() so that it is not added
to the purgatory_sha_regions.

With this change, the IMA segment is not included in the digest
calculation, storage, and verification.

9f0552c978 crash: let arch decide usable memory range in reserved area
Although the crashkernel area is reserved, on architectures like PowerPC,
it is possible for the crashkernel reserved area to contain components
like RTAS, TCE, OPAL, etc.  To avoid placing kexec segments over these
components, PowerPC has its own set of APIs to locate holes in the
crashkernel reserved area.

Add an arch hook in the generic locate mem hole APIs so that architectures
can handle such special regions in the crashkernel area while locating
memory holes for kexec segments using generic APIs.  With this, a lot of
redundant arch-specific code can be removed, as it performs the exact same
job as the generic APIs.

To keep the generic and arch-specific changes separate, the changes
related to moving PowerPC to use the generic APIs and the removal of
PowerPC-specific APIs for memory hole allocation are done in a subsequent
patch titled "powerpc/crash: Use generic APIs to locate memory hole for
kdump.

f4af41bf17 kexec: fix the unexpected kexec_dprintk() macro
Jiri reported that the current kexec_dprintk() always prints out debugging
message whenever kexec/kdmmp loading is triggered.  That is not wanted. 
The debugging message is supposed to be printed out when 'kexec -s -d' is
specified for kexec/kdump loading.

After investigating, the reason is the current kexec_dprintk() takes
printk(KERN_INFO) or printk(KERN_DEBUG) depending on whether '-d' is
specified.  However, distros usually have defaulg log level like below:

 [~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
 7       4      1       7

So, even though '-d' is not specified, printk(KERN_DEBUG) also always
prints out.  I thought printk(KERN_DEBUG) is equal to pr_debug(), it's
not.

Fix it by changing to use pr_info() instead which are expected to work.

79365026f8 crash: add a new kexec flag for hotplug support
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

02aff84805 crash: split crash dumping code out from kexec_core.c
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.

443cbaf9e2 crash: split vmcoreinfo exporting code out from crash_core.c
Now move the relevant codes into separate files:
kernel/crash_reserve.c, include/linux/crash_reserve.h.

And add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling.

And also update the old ifdeffery of CONFIG_CRASH_CORE, including of
<linux/crash_core.h> and config item dependency on CRASH_CORE
accordingly.

And also do renaming as follows:
 - arch/xxx/kernel/{crash_core.c => vmcore_info.c}
because they are only related to vmcoreinfo exporting on x86, arm64,
riscv.

And also Remove config item CRASH_CORE, and rely on CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE to
decide if build in crash_core.c.

85fcde402d kexec: split crashkernel reservation code out from crash_core.c
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.

cbc2fe9d9c kexec_file: add kexec_file flag to control debug printing
Patch series "kexec_file: print out debugging message if required", v4.

Currently, specifying '-d' on kexec command will print a lot of debugging
informationabout kexec/kdump loading with kexec_load interface.

However, kexec_file_load prints nothing even though '-d' is specified. 
It's very inconvenient to debug or analyze the kexec/kdump loading when
something wrong happened with kexec/kdump itself or develper want to check
the kexec/kdump loading.

In this patchset, a kexec_file flag is KEXEC_FILE_DEBUG added and checked
in code.  If it's passed in, debugging message of kexec_file code will be
printed out and can be seen from console and dmesg.  Otherwise, the
debugging message is printed like beofre when pr_debug() is taken.

Note:
****
=====
1) The code in kexec-tools utility also need be changed to support
passing KEXEC_FILE_DEBUG to kernel when 'kexec -s -d' is specified.
The patch link is here:
=========
[PATCH] kexec_file: add kexec_file flag to support debug printing
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2023-November/028505.html

2) s390 also has kexec_file code, while I am not sure what debugging
information is necessary. So leave it to s390 developer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------


This patch (of 7):

When specifying 'kexec -c -d', kexec_load interface will print loading
information, e.g the regions where kernel/initrd/purgatory/cmdline are
put, the memmap passed to 2nd kernel taken as system RAM ranges, and
printing all contents of struct kexec_segment, etc.  These are very
helpful for analyzing or positioning what's happening when kexec/kdump
itself failed.  The debugging printing for kexec_load interface is made in
user space utility kexec-tools.

Whereas, with kexec_file_load interface, 'kexec -s -d' print nothing. 
Because kexec_file code is mostly implemented in kernel space, and the
debugging printing functionality is missed.  It's not convenient when
debugging kexec/kdump loading and jumping with kexec_file_load interface.

Now add KEXEC_FILE_DEBUG to kexec_file flag to control the debugging
message printing.  And add global variable kexec_file_dbg_print and macro
kexec_dprintk() to facilitate the printing.

This is a preparation, later kexec_dprintk() will be used to replace the
existing pr_debug().  Once 'kexec -s -d' is specified, it will print out
kexec/kdump loading information.  If '-d' is not specified, it regresses
to pr_debug().

b631b95dde crash_core: move crashk_*res definition into crash_core.c
Both crashk_res and crashk_low_res are used to mark the reserved
crashkernel regions in iomem_resource tree.  And later the generic
crashkernel resrvation will be added into crash_core.c.  So move
crashk_res and crashk_low_res definition into crash_core.c to avoid
compiling error if CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=on while CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE is unset.

Meanwhile include <asm/crash_core.h> in <linux/crash_core.h> if generic
reservation is needed.  In that case, <asm/crash_core.h> need be added by
ARCH.  In asm/crash_core.h, ARCH can provide its own macro definitions to
override macros in <linux/crash_core.h> if needed.  Wrap the including
into CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GENERIC_CRASHKERNEL_RESERVATION ifdeffery scope to
avoid compiling error in other ARCH-es which don't take the generic
reservation way yet.

a72bbec70d crash: hotplug support for kexec_load()
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.

88a6f89944 crash: memory and CPU hotplug sysfs attributes
Introduce the crash_hotplug attribute for memory and CPUs for use by
userspace.  These attributes directly facilitate the udev rule for
managing userspace re-loading of the crash kernel upon hot un/plug
changes.

For memory, expose the crash_hotplug attribute to the
/sys/devices/system/memory directory.  For example:

 # udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/devices/system/memory/memory81
  looking at device '/devices/system/memory/memory81':
    KERNEL=="memory81"
    SUBSYSTEM=="memory"
    DRIVER==""
    ATTR{online}=="1"
    ATTR{phys_device}=="0"
    ATTR{phys_index}=="00000051"
    ATTR{removable}=="1"
    ATTR{state}=="online"
    ATTR{valid_zones}=="Movable"

  looking at parent device '/devices/system/memory':
    KERNELS=="memory"
    SUBSYSTEMS==""
    DRIVERS==""
    ATTRS{auto_online_blocks}=="offline"
    ATTRS{block_size_bytes}=="8000000"
    ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1"

For CPUs, expose the crash_hotplug attribute to the
/sys/devices/system/cpu directory. For example:

 # udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0
  looking at device '/devices/system/cpu/cpu0':
    KERNEL=="cpu0"
    SUBSYSTEM=="cpu"
    DRIVER=="processor"
    ATTR{crash_notes}=="277c38600"
    ATTR{crash_notes_size}=="368"
    ATTR{online}=="1"

  looking at parent device '/devices/system/cpu':
    KERNELS=="cpu"
    SUBSYSTEMS==""
    DRIVERS==""
    ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1"
    ATTRS{isolated}==""
    ATTRS{kernel_max}=="8191"
    ATTRS{nohz_full}=="  (null)"
    ATTRS{offline}=="4-7"
    ATTRS{online}=="0-3"
    ATTRS{possible}=="0-7"
    ATTRS{present}=="0-3"

With these sysfs attributes in place, it is possible to efficiently
instruct the udev rule to skip crash kernel reloading for kernels
configured with crash hotplug support.

For example, the following is the proposed udev rule change for RHEL
system 98-kexec.rules (as the first lines of the rule file):

 # 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"

When examined in the context of 98-kexec.rules, the above rules test if
crash_hotplug is set, and if so, the userspace initiated
unload-then-reload of the crash kernel is skipped.

CPU and memory checks are separated in accordance with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
and CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG kernel config options.  If an architecture
supports, for example, memory hotplug but not CPU hotplug, then the
/sys/devices/system/memory/crash_hotplug attribute file is present, but
the /sys/devices/system/cpu/crash_hotplug attribute file will NOT be
present.  Thus the udev rule skips userspace processing of memory hot
un/plug events, but the udev rule will evaluate false for CPU events, thus
allowing userspace to process CPU hot un/plug events (ie the
unload-then-reload of the kdump capture kernel).

2472627561 crash: add generic infrastructure for crash hotplug support
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.

6f991cc363 crash: move a few code bits to setup support of crash hotplug
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.

a42aaad2e4 kexec: introduce sysctl parameters kexec_load_limit_*
kexec allows replacing the current kernel with a different one.  This is
usually a source of concerns for sysadmins that want to harden a system.

Linux already provides a way to disable loading new kexec kernel via
kexec_load_disabled, but that control is very coard, it is all or nothing
and does not make distinction between a panic kexec and a normal kexec.

This patch introduces new sysctl parameters, with finer tuning to specify
how many times a kexec kernel can be loaded.  The sysadmin can set
different limits for kexec panic and kexec reboot kernels.  The value can
be modified at runtime via sysctl, but only with a stricter value.

With these new parameters on place, a system with loadpin and verity
enabled, using the following kernel parameters:
sysctl.kexec_load_limit_reboot=0 sysct.kexec_load_limit_panic=1 can have a
good warranty that if initrd tries to load a panic kernel, a malitious
user will have small chances to replace that kernel with a different one,
even if they can trigger timeouts on the disk where the panic kernel
lives.

7bb5da0d49 kexec: turn all kexec_mutex acquisitions into trylocks
Patch series "kexec, panic: Making crash_kexec() NMI safe", v4.


This patch (of 2):

Most acquistions of kexec_mutex are done via mutex_trylock() - those were
a direct "translation" from:

  8c5a1cf0ad ("kexec: use a mutex for locking rather than xchg()")

there have however been two additions since then that use mutex_lock():
crash_get_memory_size() and crash_shrink_memory().

A later commit will replace said mutex with an atomic variable, and
locking operations will become atomic_cmpxchg().  Rather than having those
mutex_lock() become while (atomic_cmpxchg(&lock, 0, 1)), turn them into
trylocks that can return -EBUSY on acquisition failure.

This does halve the printable size of the crash kernel, but that's still
neighbouring 2G for 32bit kernels which should be ample enough.

65d9a9a60f kexec_file: drop weak attribute from functions
As requested
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/87ee0q7b92.fsf@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org),
this series converts weak functions in kexec to use the #ifdef approach.

Quoting the 3e35142ef9 ("kexec_file: drop weak attribute from
arch_kexec_apply_relocations[_add]") changelog:

: Since commit d1bcae833b32f1 ("ELF: Don't generate unused section symbols")
: [1], binutils (v2.36+) started dropping section symbols that it thought
: were unused.  This isn't an issue in general, but with kexec_file.c, gcc
: is placing kexec_arch_apply_relocations[_add] into a separate
: .text.unlikely section and the section symbol ".text.unlikely" is being
: dropped.  Due to this, recordmcount is unable to find a non-weak symbol in
: .text.unlikely to generate a relocation record against.

This patch (of 2);

Drop __weak attribute from functions in kexec_file.c:
- arch_kexec_kernel_image_probe()
- arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup()
- arch_kexec_kernel_image_load()
- arch_kexec_locate_mem_hole()
- arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig()

arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() calls into kexec_image_load_default(), so
drop the static attribute for the latter.

arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig() is not overridden by any architecture, so
drop the __weak attribute.

3e35142ef9 kexec_file: drop weak attribute from arch_kexec_apply_relocations[_add]
Since commit d1bcae833b32f1 ("ELF: Don't generate unused section
symbols") [1], binutils (v2.36+) started dropping section symbols that
it thought were unused.  This isn't an issue in general, but with
kexec_file.c, gcc is placing kexec_arch_apply_relocations[_add] into a
separate .text.unlikely section and the section symbol ".text.unlikely"
is being dropped. Due to this, recordmcount is unable to find a non-weak
symbol in .text.unlikely to generate a relocation record against.

Address this by dropping the weak attribute from these functions.
Instead, follow the existing pattern of having architectures #define the
name of the function they want to override in their headers.

crash_prepare_elf64_header() has same symbol name, in expansion of macro

actually is the local variable.

f05fa10901 kexec: make crashk_res, crashk_low_res and crash_notes symbols always visible
Patch series "kexec: use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE) instead of #ifdef", v2.

Replace the conditional compilation using "#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE" by
a check for "IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE)", to simplify the code and
increase compile coverage.

I only modified x86, arm, arm64 and riscv, other architectures such as
sh, powerpc and s390 are better to be kept kexec code as-is so they are
not touched.

This patch (of 5):

Make the forward declarations of crashk_res, crashk_low_res and
crash_notes always visible.  Code referring to these symbols can then just
check for IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE), instead of requiring conditional
compilation using an #ifdef, thus preparing to increase compile coverage
and simplify the code.

aefcf2f4b5 Merge branch 'next-lockdown' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
 "This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
  Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.

  From the original description:

    This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
    intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
    When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
    Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
    kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
    enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.

    The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
    of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
    doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
    to not requiring external patches.

  There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:

   - Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
     covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/

   -  Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
      module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
      rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.

  The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
  policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
  tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
  permitted.

  The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
  policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
  level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:

    lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}

  Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
  that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
  confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
  confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.

  This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
  overriden by kernel configuration.

  New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
  lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
  include/linux/security.h for details.

  The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
  across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
  weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.

  Stephen Rothwell noted that commit 9d1f8be5cf ("bpf: Restrict bpf
  when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode") is missing a
  Signed-off-by from its author. Matthew responded that he is providing
  this under category (c) of the DCO"

99d5cadfde kexec_file: split KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG into KEXEC_SIG and KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
This is a preparatory patch for kexec_file_load() lockdown.  A locked down
kernel needs to prevent unsigned kernel images from being loaded with
kexec_file_load().  Currently, the only way to force the signature
verification is compiling with KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG.  This prevents loading
usigned images even when the kernel is not locked down at runtime.

This patch splits KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG into KEXEC_SIG and KEXEC_SIG_FORCE.
Analogous to the MODULE_SIG and MODULE_SIG_FORCE for modules, KEXEC_SIG
turns on the signature verification but allows unsigned images to be
loaded.  KEXEC_SIG_FORCE disallows images without a valid signature.
