This patch adds support for kdump. In kdump case the normal kernel will reserve a region for the crash kernel and jump there on panic. Arch-specific functions are added to allow for implementing a crash dump file interface, /proc/vmcore, which can be viewed as a ELF file. A user-space tool, such as kexec-tools, is responsible for allocating a separate region for the core's ELF header within the crash kdump kernel memory and filling it in when executing kexec_load(). Then, its location will be advertised to the crash dump kernel via a command line argument "elfcorehdr=", and the crash dump kernel will preserve this region for later use with arch_reserve_vmcore() at boot time. At the same time, the crash kdump kernel is also limited within the "crashkernel" area via a command line argument "mem=", so as not to destroy the original kernel dump data. In the crash dump kernel environment, /proc/vmcore is used to access the primary kernel's memory with copy_oldmem_page(). I tested kdump on LoongArch machines (Loongson-3A5000) and it works as expected (suggested crashkernel parameter is "crashkernel=512M@2560M"), you may test it by triggering a crash through /proc/sysrq-trigger: $ sudo kexec -p /boot/vmlinux-kdump --reuse-cmdline --append="nr_cpus=1" # echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger Signed-off-by: Youling Tang <tangyouling@loongson.cn> Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai@loongson.cn>
