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.
This patch set is rebased on v7.1-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=4G crashkernel=64M,cma"
For first kernel, there will be such log:
# dmesg | grep crash
[ 0.000000] crashkernel low memory reserved: 0xe8000000 - 0xf0000000 (128 MB)
[ 0.000000] crashkernel reserved: 0x000000023e600000 - 0x000000033e600000 (4096 MB)
[ 0.000000] crashkernel CMA reserved: 64 MB in 1 ranges
# dmesg | grep cma
[ 0.000000] cma: Reserved 256 MiB at 0x00000000f0000000
[ 0.000000] cma: Reserved 64 MiB at 0x0000000100000000
For second kernel, there will be such log:
[ 0.000000] OF: fdt: Looking for usable-memory-range property...
[ 0.000000] OF: fdt: cap_mem_regions[0]: base=0x000000023e600000, size=0x0000000100000000

Changes in v16:
- Split out the unrelated bugfixes as Baoquan suggested, which will
be a separate patch set later.
- Link to v15: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260601094805.2928614-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/
Changes in v15:
- Unify the subject prefix formats as Huacai suggested.
- Fix powerpc pre-existing NULL pointer dereference [Sashiko [1]]
- Fix powerpc pre-existing __merge_memory_ranges() memory range
truncation [Sashiko [1]].
- Fix pre-existing arm64 CMA page leaks [Sashiko[2]].
- Fix pre-existing crash_load_dm_crypt_keys() Use-After-Free and
Double Free issue [Sashiko[3]].
- Fix vfree(headers) and uninitialized variables issue
and simplify the fix [Sashiko[2]].

lock, unify and simplify the fix of TOCTOU buffer overflow via memory
region padding [Sashiko[4]].

AI code review pointed out.
- Solve the hotplug notifier arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event() AA
self-deadlock problem as Sashiko AI code review pointed out.
- Fix the TOCTOU issue in prepare_elf_headers() by get_online_mems().
- -ENOMEM -> -EAGAIN as Breno suggested.
- Add support for arm64 crash hotplug.
- Link to v13: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260511030454.1730881-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/

Changes in v12:
- Remove the unused "nr_mem_ranges" for x86.
- Add "Fix crashk_low_res not exclude bug" test log.
- Provide a separate patch for each architecture for using
crash_prepare_headers(), which will make the review more convenient.
- Add Reviewed-by and Tested-by.

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 concurrency issue. A Concurrent memory hotplug may occur
between reading memblock and attempting to fill cmem during kexec_load()
for almost all existing architectures.
