      x86/panic: replace smp_send_stop() with kdump friendly version in panic path · 0ee59413
      Hidehiro Kawai authored
      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)

      kexec: support for kexec on panic using new system call · dd5f7260
      Vivek Goyal authored
      
      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.

      kexec-bzImage64: support for loading bzImage using 64bit entry · 27f48d3e
      Vivek Goyal authored
      
      This is loader specific code which can load bzImage and set it up for
      64bit entry.  This does not take care of 32bit entry or real mode entry.
      
      32bit mode entry can be implemented if somebody needs it.

      x86: kexec: Use one page table in x86_64 machine_kexec · f5deb796
      Huang Ying authored
      
      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.

      kexec jump · 3ab83521
      Huang Ying authored
      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.

      x86: consolidate header guards · 77ef50a5
      Vegard Nossum authored
      
      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.
