[PATCH v3 0/2] mm: only mark/clear KHO scratch memory when needed
Posted by Usama Arif 3 days, 3 hours ago
The scratch memory for kexec handover is used to bootstrap the
kexec'ed kernel. Only the 1st 1MB is used as scratch, and its a
hack to get around limitations with KHO. It is only needed when
CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER is enabled and only if it is a KHO boot
(both checked by is_kho_boot). Add check to prevent marking a KHO
scratch region unless needed.

CONFIG_MEMBLOCK_KHO_SCRATCH is also removed as its only selected
by KEXEC_HANDOVER.

v2 -> v3:
- is_kho_boot already has stubs when CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER=n,
  no need to move the functions under CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER (Pratyush
  Yadav)
- Commit messsage improvements

v1 -> v2:
- Remove CONFIG_MEMBLOCK_KHO_SCRATCH (Kiryl Shutsemau)
- Move memblock_mark/clear_kho_scratch under alread existing
  CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER in memblock.c.
