Parse the following DT properties in the crash dump kernel, to provide a modern interface between kexec and the crash dump kernel: - linux,elfcorehdr: ELF core header segment, similar to the "elfcorehdr=" kernel parameter. - linux,usable-memory-range: Usable memory reserved for the crash dump kernel. This makes the memory reservation explicit. If present, Linux no longer needs to mask the program counter, and rely on the "mem=" kernel parameter to obtain the start and size of usable memory. For backwards compatibility, the traditional method to derive the start of memory is still used if "linux,usable-memory-range" is absent, and the "elfcorehdr=" and "mem=" kernel parameters are still parsed. Loosely based on the ARM64 version by Akashi Takahiro. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be> --- The corresponding patch for kexec-tools is "[PATCH] arm: kdump: Add DT properties to crash dump kernel's DTB", which is still valid: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20200902154129.6358-1-geert+renesas@glider.be/ v4: - Remove references to architectures in chosen.txt, to avoid having to change this again when more architectures copy kdump support, - Remove the architecture-specific code for parsing "linux,usable-memory-range" and "linux,elfcorehdr", as the FDT core code now takes care of this, - Move chosen.txt change to patch changing the FDT core, - Use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP) instead of #ifdef, v3: - Rebase on top of accepted solution for DTB memory information handling, which is part of v5.12-rc1, v2: - Rebase on top of reworked DTB memory information handling. --- .../arm/boot/compressed/fdt_check_mem_start.c | 48 ++++++++++++++++--- arch/arm/mm/init.c | 30 ++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 72 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-)
