arm64: kexec_file: add crash dump support

2020-01-08T17:05:23+00:00

Enabling crash dump (kdump) includes * prepare contents of ELF header of a core dump file, /proc/vmcore, using crash_prepare_elf64_headers(), and * add two device tree properties, "linux,usable-memory-range" and "linux,elfcorehdr", which represent respectively a memory range to be used by crash dump kernel and the header's location Signed-off-by: AKASHI Takahiro Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Will Deacon Reviewed-by: James Morse Tested-and-reviewed-by: Bhupesh Sharma Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

arm64: kexec_file: allow for loading Image-format kernel

2018-12-06T14:38:52+00:00

This patch provides kexec_file_ops for "Image"-format kernel. In this implementation, a binary is always loaded with a fixed offset identified in text_offset field of its header. Regarding signature verification for trusted boot, this patch doesn't contains CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG support, which is to be added later in this series, but file-attribute-based verification is still a viable option by enabling IMA security subsystem. You can sign(label) a to-be-kexec'ed kernel image on target file system with: $ evmctl ima_sign --key /path/to/private_key.pem Image On live system, you must have IMA enforced with, at least, the following security policy: "appraise func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK appraise_type=imasig" See more details about IMA here: https://sourceforge.net/p/linux-ima/wiki/Home/ Signed-off-by: AKASHI Takahiro Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Will Deacon Reviewed-by: James Morse Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

arm64: kexec_file: load initrd and device-tree

2018-12-06T14:38:52+00:00

load_other_segments() is expected to allocate and place all the necessary memory segments other than kernel, including initrd and device-tree blob (and elf core header for crash). While most of the code was borrowed from kexec-tools' counterpart, users may not be allowed to specify dtb explicitly, instead, the dtb presented by the original boot loader is reused. arch_kimage_kernel_post_load_cleanup() is responsible for freeing arm64- specific data allocated in load_other_segments().

arm64: kdump: implement machine_crash_shutdown()

2017-04-05T17:29:15+00:00

Primary kernel calls machine_crash_shutdown() to shut down non-boot cpus and save registers' status in per-cpu ELF notes before starting crash dump kernel. See kernel_kexec(). Even if not all secondary cpus have shut down, we do kdump anyway. As we don't have to make non-boot(crashed) cpus offline (to preserve correct status of cpus at crash dump) before shutting down, this patch also adds a variant of smp_send_stop().

arm64: hibernate: preserve kdump image around hibernation

2017-04-05T17:28:50+00:00

Since arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() removes a mapping for crash dump kernel image, the loaded data won't be preserved around hibernation. In this patch, helper functions, crash_prepare_suspend()/ crash_post_resume(), are additionally called before/after hibernation so that the relevant memory segments will be mapped again and preserved just as the others are. In addition, to minimize the size of hibernation image, crash_is_nosave() is added to pfn_is_nosave() in order to recognize only the pages that hold loaded crash dump kernel image as saveable. Hibernation excludes any pages that are marked as Reserved and yet "nosave." Signed-off-by: AKASHI Takahiro Reviewed-by: James Morse Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas
