The crash memory allocation, and the exclude of crashk_res, crashk_low_res and crashk_cma memory are almost identical across different architectures, This patch set handle them in crash core in a general way, which eliminate a lot of duplication code. And add support for crashkernel CMA reservation for arm64 and riscv. Also add support for arm64 crash hotplug. This patch set is rebased on v7.1-rc1. Basic second kernel boot test were performed on QEMU platforms for x86, ARM64 and RISC-V architectures with the following parameters: "cma=256M crashkernel=4G crashkernel=64M,cma" For first kernel, there will be such log: # dmesg | grep crash [ 0.000000] crashkernel low memory reserved: 0xe8000000 - 0xf0000000 (128 MB) [ 0.000000] crashkernel reserved: 0x000000023e600000 - 0x000000033e600000 (4096 MB) [ 0.000000] crashkernel CMA reserved: 64 MB in 1 ranges # dmesg | grep cma [ 0.000000] cma: Reserved 256 MiB at 0x00000000f0000000 [ 0.000000] cma: Reserved 64 MiB at 0x0000000100000000 For second kernel, there will be such log: [ 0.000000] OF: fdt: Looking for usable-memory-range property...

Changes in v10: - Fix crashk_low_res not excluded bug in the existing RISC-V code. - Fix an existing memory leak issue in the existing PowerPC code. - Fix the ordering issue of adding CMA ranges to "linux,usable-memory-range". - Fix an existing concurrency issue. A Concurrent memory hotplug may occur between reading memblock and attempting to fill cmem during kexec_load() for almost all existing architectures. - Link to v9: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260323072745.2481719-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/ (local) Changes in v9: - Collect Reviewed-by and Acked-by, and prepare for Sashiko AI review. - Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260302035315.3892241-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/ (local) Changes in v8: - Fix the build issues reported by kernel test robot and Sourabh. - Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260226130437.1867658-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/ (local) Changes in v7: - Correct the inclusion of CMA-reserved ranges for kdump kernel in of/kexec for arm64 and riscv. - Add Acked-by. - Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260224085342.387996-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/ (local) Changes in v6: - Update the crash core exclude code as Mike suggested. - Rebased on v7.0-rc1. - Add acked-by. - Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260212101001.343158-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/ (local) Jinjie Ruan (16): riscv: kexec_file: Fix crashk_low_res not exclude bug powerpc/crash: Fix possible memory leak in update_crash_elfcorehdr() arm64: kexec: Fix image->elf_headers memory leak during retry loop x86/kexec: Fix potential buffer overflow in prepare_elf_headers() arm64: kexec_file: Fix potential buffer overflow in prepare_elf_headers() riscv: kexec_file: Fix potential buffer overflow in prepare_elf_headers() LoongArch: kexec: Fix potential buffer overflow in prepare_elf_headers() crash: Add crash_prepare_headers() to exclude crash kernel memory arm64: kexec_file: Use crash_prepare_headers() helper to simplify code x86/kexec: Use crash_prepare_headers() helper to simplify code riscv: kexec_file: Use crash_prepare_headers() helper to simplify code LoongArch: kexec: Use crash_prepare_headers() helper to simplify code crash: Use crash_exclude_core_ranges() on powerpc arm64: kexec: Add support for crashkernel CMA reservation riscv: kexec: Add support for crashkernel CMA reservation arm64/crash: Add crash hotplug support Sourabh Jain (1): powerpc/crash: sort crash memory ranges before preparing elfcorehdr .../admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt | 16 +-- arch/arm64/Kconfig | 3 + arch/arm64/include/asm/kexec.h | 14 +- arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile | 1 + arch/arm64/kernel/crash.c | 125 ++++++++++++++++++ arch/arm64/kernel/kexec_image.c | 22 ++- arch/arm64/kernel/machine_kexec_file.c | 78 ++++++----- arch/arm64/mm/init.c | 5 +- arch/loongarch/kernel/machine_kexec_file.c | 43 +++--- arch/powerpc/include/asm/kexec_ranges.h | 1 - arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c | 7 +- arch/powerpc/kexec/ranges.c | 101 +------------- arch/riscv/kernel/machine_kexec_file.c | 42 +++--- arch/riscv/mm/init.c | 5 +- arch/x86/kernel/crash.c | 92 ++----------- drivers/of/fdt.c | 9 +- drivers/of/kexec.c | 9 ++ include/linux/crash_core.h | 11 ++ include/linux/crash_reserve.h | 4 +- kernel/crash_core.c | 102 +++++++++++++- 20 files changed, 392 insertions(+), 298 deletions(-) create mode 100644 arch/arm64/kernel/crash.c -- 2.34.1
