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 v11:
- Avoid silently drop crash memory if the crash kernel is built without
CONFIG_CMA.
- Remove unnecessary "cmem->nr_ranges = 0" for arch_crash_populate_cmem()
as we use kvzalloc().
- Provide a separate patch for each architecture to fix the existing
buffer overflow issue.
- Add Acked-bys for arm64.
Changes in v10:
- Fix crashk_low_res not excluded bug in the existing
RISC-V code.
- Fix an existing memory leak issue in the existing PowerPC code.
- Fix the ordering issue of adding CMA ranges to
"linux,usable-memory-range".
- Fix an existing concurrency issue. A Concurrent memory hotplug may occur
between reading memblock and attempting to fill cmem during kexec_load()
for almost all existing architectures.
