kexec: add further check to crashkernel

2012-03-29T00:14:36Z

When using crashkernel=2M-256M, the kernel doesn't give any warning. This is misleading sometimes. Signed-off-by: Zhenzhong Duan Acked-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kexec: crash: don't save swapper_pg_dir for !CONFIG_MMU configurations

2012-03-29T00:14:36Z

nommu platforms don't have very interesting swapper_pg_dir pointers and usually just #define them to NULL, meaning that we can't include them in the vmcoreinfo on the kexec crash path. This patch only saves the swapper_pg_dir if we have an MMU. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon Reviewed-by: Simon Horman Cc: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

PM / Sleep: Introduce "late suspend" and "early resume" of devices

2012-01-29T19:38:29Z

The current device suspend/resume phases during system-wide power transitions appear to be insufficient for some platforms that want to use the same callback routines for saving device states and related operations during runtime suspend/resume as well as during system suspend/resume. In principle, they could point their .suspend_noirq() and .resume_noirq() to the same callback routines as their .runtime_suspend() and .runtime_resume(), respectively, but at least some of them require device interrupts to be enabled while the code in those routines is running. It also makes sense to have device suspend-resume callbacks that will be executed with runtime PM disabled and with device interrupts enabled in case someone needs to run some special code in that context during system-wide power transitions. Apart from this, .suspend_noirq() and .resume_noirq() were introduced as a workaround for drivers using shared interrupts and failing to prevent their interrupt handlers from accessing suspended hardware. It appears to be better not to use them for other porposes, or we may have to deal with some serious confusion (which seems to be happening already). For the above reasons, introduce new device suspend/resume phases, "late suspend" and "early resume" (and analogously for hibernation) whose callback will be executed with runtime PM disabled and with device interrupts enabled and whose callback pointers generally may point to runtime suspend/resume routines.

kdump: crashk_res init check for /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size

2012-01-13T04:13:11Z

Currently it is possible to set the crash_size via the sysfs /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size even if no crash kernel memory has been defined with the "crashkernel" parameter. In this case "crashk_res" is not initialized and crashk_res.start = crashk_res.end = 0. Unfortunately resource_size(&crashk_res) returns 1 in this case. This breaks the s390 implementation of crash_(un)map_reserved_pages(). To fix the problem the correct "old_size" is now calculated in crash_shrink_memory(). "old_size is set to "0" if crashk_res is not initialized. With this change crash_shrink_memory() will do nothing, when "crashk_res" is not initialized. It will return "0" for "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" and -EINVAL for "echo [not zero] > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size". In addition to that this patch also simplifies the "ret = -EINVAL" vs. "ret = 0" logic as suggested by Simon Horman.

kdump: add missing RAM resource in crash_shrink_memory()

2012-01-13T04:13:11Z

When shrinking crashkernel memory using /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size for the newly added memory no RAM resource is created at the moment. Example: $ cat /proc/iomem 00000000-bfffffff : System RAM 00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code 005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data 009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss c0000000-cfffffff : Crash kernel d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size $ cat /proc/iomem 00000000-bfffffff : System RAM 00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code 005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data 009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss <<-- here is System RAM missing d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM One result of this bug is that the memory chunk can never be set offline using memory hotplug. With this patch I insert a new "System RAM" resource for the released memory. Then the upper example looks like the following: $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size $ cat /proc/iomem 00000000-bfffffff : System RAM 00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code 005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data 009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss c0000000-cfffffff : System RAM <<-- new rescoure d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM And now I can set chunk c0000000-cfffffff offline.

kexec: remove KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC

2012-01-13T04:13:11Z

KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC is useless because we already save kernel messages inside /proc/vmcore, and it is unsafe to allow modules to do other stuffs in a crash dump scenario.

PM / Sleep: Replace mutex_[un]lock(&pm_mutex) with [un]lock_system_sleep()

2011-12-08T22:22:29Z

Using [un]lock_system_sleep() is safer than directly using mutex_[un]lock() on 'pm_mutex', since the latter could lead to freezing failures. Hence convert all the present users of mutex_[un]lock(&pm_mutex) to use these safe APIs instead. Suggested-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

[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.
