PCI: Disable Bus Master only on kexec reboot

2013-12-20T15:48:54Z

commit 4fc9bbf98fd66f879e628d8537ba7c240be2b58e upstream. Add a flag to tell the PCI subsystem that kernel is shutting down in preparation to kexec a kernel. Add code in PCI subsystem to use this flag to clear Bus Master bit on PCI devices only in case of kexec reboot. This fixes a power-off problem on Acer Aspire V5-573G and likely other machines and avoids any other issues caused by clearing Bus Master bit on PCI devices in normal shutdown path. The problem was introduced by b566a22c2332 ("PCI: disable Bus Master on PCI device shutdown"). This patch is based on discussion at http://marc.info/?l=linux-pci&m=138425645204355&w=2 Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63861 Reported-by: Chang Liu Signed-off-by: Khalid Aziz Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas Acked-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

x86, kdump: Retore crashkernel= to allocate under 896M

2013-04-17T19:35:33Z

Vivek found old kexec-tools does not work new kernel anymore. So change back crashkernel= back to old behavoir, and add crashkernel_high= to let user decide if buffer could be above 4G, and also new kexec-tools will be needed. -v2: let crashkernel=X override crashkernel_high= update description about _high will be ignored by crashkernel=X -v3: update description about kernel-parameters.txt according to Vivek.

x86: Add Crash kernel low reservation

2013-01-30T03:32:58Z

During kdump kernel's booting stage, it need to find low ram for swiotlb buffer when system does not support intel iommu/dmar remapping. kexed-tools is appending memmap=exactmap and range from /proc/iomem with "Crash kernel", and that range is above 4G for 64bit after boot protocol 2.12. We need to add another range in /proc/iomem like "Crash kernel low", so kexec-tools could find that info and append to kdump kernel command line. Try to reserve some under 4G if the normal "Crash kernel" is above 4G. User could specify the size with crashkernel_low=XX[KMG]. -v2: fix warning that is found by Fengguang's test robot. -v3: move out get_mem_size change to another patch, to solve compiling warning that is found by Borislav Petkov -v4: user must specify crashkernel_low if system does not support intel or amd iommu.

kexec: export kexec.h to user space

2012-06-01T00:49:30Z

Add userspace definitions, guard all relevant kernel structures. While at it document stuff and remove now useless userspace hint. It is easy to add the relevant system call to respective libc's, but it seems pointless to have to duplicate the data structures. This is based on the kexec-tools headers, with the exception of just using int on return (succes or failure) and using size_t instead of 'unsigned long int' for the number of segments argument of kexec_load().

kdump: define KEXEC_NOTE_BYTES arch specific for s390x

2012-01-23T16:38:48Z

kdump only allocates memory for the prstatus ELF note. For s390x, besides of prstatus multiple ELF notes for various different register types are stored. Therefore the currently allocated memory is not sufficient. With this patch the KEXEC_NOTE_BYTES macro can be defined by architecture code and for s390x it is set to the correct size now.

[S390] kdump: Add infrastructure for unmapping crashkernel memory

2011-10-30T14:16:42Z

This patch introduces a mechanism that allows architecture backends to remove page tables for the crashkernel memory. This can protect the loaded kdump kernel from being overwritten by broken kernel code. Two new functions crash_map_reserved_pages() and crash_unmap_reserved_pages() are added that can be implemented by architecture code. The crash_map_reserved_pages() function is called before and crash_unmap_reserved_pages() after the crashkernel segments are loaded. The functions are also called in crash_shrink_memory() to create/remove page tables when the crashkernel memory size is reduced. To support architectures that have large pages this patch also introduces a new define KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN. The crashkernel start and size must always be aligned with KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN.

[S390] kdump: Add KEXEC_CRASH_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT

2011-10-30T14:16:41Z

On s390 there is a different KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT for the normal and the kdump kexec case. Therefore this patch introduces a new macro KEXEC_CRASH_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT. This is set to KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT for all architectures that do not define KEXEC_CRASH_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT.
