kexec: migrate to reboot cpu

2013-12-19T03:04:50Z

Commit 1b3a5d02ee07 ("reboot: move arch/x86 reboot= handling to generic kernel") moved reboot= handling to generic code. In the process it also removed the code in native_machine_shutdown() which are moving reboot process to reboot_cpu/cpu0. I guess that thought must have been that all reboot paths are calling migrate_to_reboot_cpu(), so we don't need this special handling. But kexec reboot path (kernel_kexec()) is not calling migrate_to_reboot_cpu() so above change broke kexec. Now reboot can happen on non-boot cpu and when INIT is sent in second kerneo to bring up BP, it brings down the machine. So start calling migrate_to_reboot_cpu() in kexec reboot path to avoid this problem. Bisected by WANG Chao.

PCI: Disable Bus Master only on kexec reboot

2013-12-07T21:20:28Z

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 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.5+

kexec, vmalloc: export additional vmalloc layer information

2013-04-29T22:54:34Z

Now, vmap_area_list is exported as VMCOREINFO for makedumpfile to get the start address of vmalloc region (vmalloc_start). The address which contains vmalloc_start value is represented as below: vmap_area_list.next - OFFSET(vmap_area.list) + OFFSET(vmap_area.va_start) However, both OFFSET(vmap_area.va_start) and OFFSET(vmap_area.list) aren't exported as VMCOREINFO. So this patch exports them externally with small cleanup.

mm, vmalloc: export vmap_area_list, instead of vmlist

2013-04-29T22:54:34Z

Although our intention is to unexport internal structure entirely, but there is one exception for kexec. kexec dumps address of vmlist and makedumpfile uses this information. We are about to remove vmlist, then another way to retrieve information of vmalloc layer is needed for makedumpfile. For this purpose, we export vmap_area_list, instead of vmlist.
