CONFIG_CRASH_DM_CRYPT has been introduced to support LUKS-encrypted
device dump target by addressing two challenges [1],
- Kdump kernel may not be able to decrypt the LUKS partition. For some
machines, a system administrator may not have a chance to enter the
password to decrypt the device in kdump initramfs after the 1st kernel
crashes
- LUKS2 by default use the memory-hard Argon2 key derivation function
which is quite memory-consuming compared to the limited memory reserved
for kdump.
To also enable this feature for ARM64 and PowerPC, we need to add a
device tree property dmcryptkeys [2] as similar to elfcorehdr to pass
the memory address of the stored info of dm-crypt keys to the kdump
kernel.
We don't have any ack/review tags for this series. Could someone
please help out?
