At present we are doing the backup of 32K. Thus created one ELF PT_LOAD
segment for this region.
But, in the case of 64K page size, second segments starts at 32K and the
first one is not page aligned. __ioremap() (crash_dump.c) getting
failed if pfn = 0 which is the case for the second PT_LOAD segment. We
did not hit this issue for 4K page size because the the first page (32K
backup) is copied to second kernel memory and thus referencing with the
second kernel pfn.
Here the fix is, backup regions size is max(PAGE_SIZE, 32K) so that
at least one page will be part of backup ELF segment. Drawback here is,
we will end up 32K more for backup for 64K page size.
You should always do 64k regardless of the page size. I think we have
some ABI requirements here for ELF sections to be 64k aligned anyway
no ?
It can also be fixed in copy_oldmem_page() (crash_dump.c), but first
PT_LOAD segment is not page aligned:
if (pfn > 0)
vaddr = __ioremap(pfn << PAGE_SHIFT, PAGE_SIZE, 0);
else
vaddr = __va(pfn << PAGE_SHIFT);
