Daniel Walker reported problems which happens when crash_kexec_post_notifiers kernel option is enabled (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/24/44). In that case, smp_send_stop() is called before entering kdump routines which assume other CPUs are still online. As the result, for x86, kdump routines fail to save other CPUs' registers and disable virtualization extensions. To fix this problem, call a new kdump friendly function, crash_smp_send_stop(), instead of the smp_send_stop() when crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled. crash_smp_send_stop() is a weak function, and it just call smp_send_stop(). Architecture codes should override it so that kdump can work appropriately. This patch only provides x86-specific version. For Xen's PV kernel, just keep the current behavior. NOTES: - Right solution would be to place crash_smp_send_stop() before __crash_kexec() invocation in all cases and remove smp_send_stop(), but we can't do that until all architectures implement own crash_smp_send_stop() - crash_smp_send_stop()-like work is still needed by machine_crash_shutdown() because crash_kexec() can be called without entering panic() Fixes: f06e5153 (kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160810080948.11028.15344.stgit@sysi4-13.yrl.intra.hitachi.co.jp Signed-off-by:

This patch adds support for loading a kexec on panic (kdump) kernel usning new system call. It prepares ELF headers for memory areas to be dumped and for saved cpu registers. Also prepares the memory map for second kernel and limits its boot to reserved areas only. Signed-off-by:

Impact: reduce kernel BSS size by 7 pages, improve code readability Two page tables are used in current x86_64 kexec implementation. One is used to jump from kernel virtual address to identity map address, the other is used to map all physical memory. In fact, on x86_64, there is no conflict between kernel virtual address space and physical memory space, so just one page table is sufficient. The page table pages used to map control page are dynamically allocated to save memory if kexec image is not loaded. ASM code used to map control page is replaced by C code too. Signed-off-by:

Impact: save .text size when kexec is built in but not loaded This patch adds an architecture specific struct kimage_arch into struct kimage. The pointers to page table pages used by kexec are added to struct kimage_arch. The page tables pages are dynamically allocated in machine_kexec_prepare instead of statically from BSS segment. This will save up to 20k memory when kexec image is not loaded. Signed-off-by:

This patch provides an enhancement to kexec/kdump. It implements the following features: - Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after kexec. - Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec. The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in physical mode (paging turning off). This can be used to call BIOS code under Linux. kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL: source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2 patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2 binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10 Usage example of calling some physical mode code and return: 1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected: CONFIG_X86_32=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y 2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one. 3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode" 4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1. 5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command line can be as follow: /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode 6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line: /sbin/kexec -e Implementation point: To support jumping without reserving memory. One shadow backup page (source page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination page). When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped. Before jumping to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped too. C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between kernel and called code. A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back. Now, only the i386 architecture is supported. Signed-off-by:

This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/. The format: 1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved. 2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h. 3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single underscores. Signed-off-by:
