[PATCH v8 0/5] arm64/riscv: Add support for crashkernel CMA reservation
Posted by Jinjie Ruan 1 month, 2 weeks ago
The crash memory allocation, and the exclude of crashk_res, crashk_low_res
and crashk_cma memory are almost identical across different architectures,
This patch set handle them in crash core in a general way, which eliminate
a lot of duplication code.

And add support for crashkernel CMA reservation for arm64 and riscv.

Rebased on v7.0-rc1.

Basic second kernel boot test were performed on QEMU platforms for x86,
ARM64, and RISC-V architectures with the following parameters:

	"cma=256M crashkernel=256M crashkernel=64M,cma"

Changes in v8:
- Fix the build issues reported by kernel test robot and Sourabh.
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260226130437.1867658-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/

Changes in v7:
- Correct the inclusion of CMA-reserved ranges for kdump kernel in of/kexec
  for arm64 and riscv.
- Add Acked-by.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260224085342.387996-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/

Changes in v6:
- Update the crash core exclude code as Mike suggested.
- Rebased on v7.0-rc1.
- Add acked-by.
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260212101001.343158-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/

Changes in v5:
- Fix the kernel test robot build warnings.
- Sort crash memory ranges before preparing elfcorehdr for powerpc
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260209095931.2813152-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/

Changes in v4:
- Move the size calculation (and the realloc if needed) into the
  generic crash.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260204093728.1447527-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/

If there are no other review comments, I'd like to ask if this is ready
to be merged.

This patchset predates the introduction of the Sashiko AI review, and
that thing is proving very good at finding issues.

So can you please update the changelog footers for thus-far-received
acks/reviews and then resend?

Thanks.

That would be good to use this tool to find the low-level issues.
