Currently, panic() and crash_kexec() can be called at the same time.
For example (x86 case):
CPU 0:
oops_end()
crash_kexec()
mutex_trylock() // acquired
nmi_shootdown_cpus() // stop other CPUs
CPU 1:
panic()
crash_kexec()
mutex_trylock() // failed to acquire
smp_send_stop() // stop other CPUs
infinite loop
If CPU 1 calls smp_send_stop() before nmi_shootdown_cpus(), kdump
fails.
In another case:
CPU 0:
oops_end()
crash_kexec()
mutex_trylock() // acquired
<NMI>
io_check_error()
panic()
crash_kexec()
mutex_trylock() // failed to acquire
infinite loop
Clearly, this is an undesirable result.
To fix this problem, this patch changes crash_kexec() to exclude others
by using the panic_cpu atomic.

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.

It is helpful when the crashkernel cmdline parsing routines
actually say which character is the unrecognized one. Make them
do so.

In x86_64, since v2.6.26 the KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE is changed to 512M, and
accordingly the MODULES_VADDR is changed to 0xffffffffa0000000. However,
in v3.12 Kees Cook introduced kaslr to randomise the location of kernel.
And the kernel text mapping addr space is enlarged from 512M to 1G. That
means now KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE is variable, its value is 512M when kaslr
support is not compiled in and 1G when kaslr support is compiled in.
Accordingly the MODULES_VADDR is changed too to be:
#define MODULES_VADDR (__START_KERNEL_map + KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE)
So when kaslr is compiled in and enabled, the kernel text mapping addr
space and modules vaddr space need be adjusted. Otherwise makedumpfile
will collapse since the addr for some symbols is not correct.
Hence KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE need be exported to vmcoreinfo and got in
makedumpfile to help calculate MODULES_VADDR.

People reported that crash_notes in /proc/vmcore were corrupted and this
cause crash kdump failure. With code debugging and log we got the root
cause. This is because percpu variable crash_notes are allocated in 2
vmalloc pages. Currently percpu is based on vmalloc by default. Vmalloc
can't guarantee 2 continuous vmalloc pages are also on 2 continuous
physical pages. So when 1st kernel exports the starting address and size
of crash_notes through sysfs like below:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpux/crash_notes
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpux/crash_notes_size
kdump kernel use them to get the content of crash_notes. However the 2nd
part may not be in the next neighbouring physical page as we expected if
crash_notes are allocated accross 2 vmalloc pages. That's why
nhdr_ptr->n_namesz or nhdr_ptr->n_descsz could be very huge in
update_note_header_size_elf64() and cause note header merging failure or
some warnings.
In this patch change to call __alloc_percpu() to passed in the align value
by rounding crash_notes_size up to the nearest power of two. This makes
sure the crash_notes is allocated inside one physical page since
sizeof(note_buf_t) in all ARCHS is smaller than PAGE_SIZE. Meanwhile add
a BUILD_BUG_ON to break compile if size is bigger than PAGE_SIZE since
crash_notes definitely will be in 2 pages. That need be avoided, and need
be reported if it's unavoidable.

Transforming PFN(Page Frame Number) to struct page is never failure, so we
can simplify the code logic to do the image->control_page assignment
directly in the loop, and remove the unnecessary conditional judgement.

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.
