kexec: use file name as the output message prefix

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

kexec output message misses the prefix "kexec", when Dave Young split the kexec code. Now, we use file name as the output message prefix. Currently, the format of output message: [ 140.290795] SYSC_kexec_load: hello, world [ 140.291534] kexec: sanity_check_segment_list: hello, world Ideally, the format of output message: [ 30.791503] kexec: SYSC_kexec_load, Hello, world [ 79.182752] kexec_core: sanity_check_segment_list, Hello, world Remove the custom prefix "kexec" in output message.

kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code

2015-09-10T20:29:01Z

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load. kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c. And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse. The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking. Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work. Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to kexec_load syscall. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Dave Young Cc: Eric W.

kexec: split kexec_file syscall code to kexec_file.c

2015-09-10T20:29:01Z

Split kexec_file syscall related code to another file kernel/kexec_file.c so that the #ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE in kexec.c can be dropped. Sharing variables and functions are moved to kernel/kexec_internal.h per suggestion from Vivek and Petr.

kernel/panic/kexec: fix "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option issue in oops path

2015-07-01T02:44:57Z

Commit f06e5153f4ae2e ("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after panic_notifers") introduced "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" kernel boot option, which toggles wheather panic() calls crash_kexec() before panic_notifiers and dump kmsg or after. The problem is that the commit overlooks panic_on_oops kernel boot option. If it is enabled, crash_kexec() is called directly without going through panic() in oops path. To fix this issue, this patch adds a check to "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" in the condition of kexec_should_crash(). Also, put a comment in kexec_should_crash() to explain not obvious things on this patch.

kexec: allocate the kexec control page with KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_GFP

2015-04-23T14:52:01Z

Introduce KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_GFP to allow the architecture code to override the gfp flags of the allocation for the kexec control page. The loop in kimage_alloc_normal_control_pages allocates pages with GFP_KERNEL until a page is found that happens to have an address smaller than the KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT. On systems with a large memory size but a small KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT the loop will keep allocating memory until the oom killer steps in. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

kexec: simplify conditional

2015-02-17T22:34:51Z

Simplify the code around one of the conditionals in the kexec_load syscall routine. The original code was confusing with a redundant check on KEXEC_ON_CRASH and comments outside of the conditional block. This change switches the order of the conditional check, and cleans up the comments for the conditional. There is no functional change to the code.

kexec: remove never used member destination in kimage

2015-02-17T22:34:51Z

struct kimage has a member destination which is used to store the real destination address of each page when load segment from user space buffer to kernel. But we never retrieve the value stored in kimage->destination, so this member variable in kimage and its assignment operation are redundent code. I guess for_each_kimage_entry just does the work that kimage->destination is expected to do. So in this patch just make a cleanup to remove it. Signed-off-by: Baoquan He Cc: "Eric W.
