Re: [PATCH v6 15/17] arm64: kexec: add expandable argument to relocation function

Hi Pavel,

On 04/10/2019 19:52, Pavel Tatashin wrote:
Currently, kexec relocation function (arm64_relocate_new_kernel) accepts
the following arguments:

head:		start of array that contains relocation information.
entry:		entry point for new kernel or purgatory.
dtb_mem:	first and only argument to entry.

The number of arguments cannot be easily expended, because this
function is also called from HVC_SOFT_RESTART, which preserves only
three arguments. And, also arm64_relocate_new_kernel is written in
assembly but called without stack, thus no place to move extra
arguments to free registers.

Soon, we will need to pass more arguments: once we enable MMU we
will need to pass information about page tables.
Another benefit of allowing this function to accept more arguments, is that
kernel can actually accept up to 4 arguments (x0-x3), however currently
only one is used, but if in the future we will need for more (for example,
pass information about when previous kernel exited to have a precise
measurement in time spent in purgatory), we won't be easilty do that
if arm64_relocate_new_kernel can't accept more arguments.
(That is just a little niche)

So, add a new struct: kern_reloc_arg, and place it in kexec safe page (i.e
memory that is not overwritten during relocation).
Thus, make arm64_relocate_new_kernel to only take one argument, that
contains all the needed information.

While the sizes are the same on arm64, this reminds the reader what kind of address this
is, and lets the compiler warn you if you make a mistake.

Please use kexec as the prefix. The kernel also applies relocations during early boot.
These are global values, and in isolation doesn't imply kexec.

My eyes!

Please don't make unnecessary changes. Its hard enough to read the assembly, moving
whitespace, comments and re-allocating the register guarantees that no-one can work out
what is happening.

If something needs cleaning up to make the change obvious, it needs doing as a previous
patch. Mechanical changes are fairly easy to review.
Functional changes behind a whirlwind of mechanical changes will cause the reviewer to
give up.
