2014-08-27kexec: Provide an option to use new kexec system callVivek Goyal
Hi, This is v2 of the patch. Since v1, I moved syscall implemented check littler earlier in the function as per the feedback. Now a new kexec syscall (kexec_file_load()) has been merged in upstream kernel. This system call takes file descriptors of kernel and initramfs as input (as opposed to list of segments to be loaded). This new system call allows for signature verification of the kernel being loaded. One use of signature verification of kernel is secureboot systems where we want to allow kexec into a kernel only if it is validly signed by a key system trusts. This patch provides and option --kexec-file-syscall (-s), to force use of new system call for kexec. Default is to continue to use old syscall. Currently only bzImage64 on x86_64 can be loaded using this system call. As kernel adds support for more arches and for more image types, kexec-tools can be modified accordingly.

2014-05-11zImage-arm: bugfix: kernel offset must be 0x8000Wang Nan
This patch fixs a problem introduced by commit e5d6a55 which make ARM kexec fails. Due to that commit, kernel is loaded at a dynamically offset: it computes extra_size using size of dtb, and load zImage at base + extra_size. When dtb size small (for example, 0x3000 bytes), kernel will be loaded at address like 0x60003000. For ARM zImage such address is incorrect. In kernel code arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S, zImage builds a temporary page table at (pc & 0xf8000000) + TEXT_OFFSET - 0x4000. The related instructions sequence is: mov r4, pc and r4, r4, #0xf8000000 add r4, r4, #TEXT_OFFSET @ (TEXT_OFFSET == 0x8000 on most platforms) call cache_on ... call __armv7_mmu_cache_on ... call __setup_mmu sub r3, r4, #16384 @ Page directory size r3 becomes page table pointer. When kernel is loaded at 0x60003000, page table is still built at 0x60004000, which destroys kernel. This patch make extra_size a fix value (0x8000) to avoid the failure. For the problem commit e5d6a55 tries solve, this patch uses locate_holes() to find a place can hold initrd and dtb. Change from v1: - Coding style enhancements.

2014-05-02zImage-arm: get rid of static offsetDaniel Mack
The code in arch/arm/kexec-zImage-arm.c currently enforces a hard limit on the maximum size a dtb blob can occupy. This limit is set to 32k, which is quite low for device tree blobs nowadays. Get rid of this assumption, and calculate the added size dynamically. For this, we need to slurp in the dtb file earlier in order to determine its size, because the memory hole allocation for 'base' takes this size into account. For ATAGs, we keep the current value of 32k, which should in fact be enough. With this change in place, the 'DTB too large!' error message can go away. Successfully tested on a AM335x board.

2014-04-29kdump: pass e820 reserved region to 2nd kernel via e820 table or setup_dataWANG Chao
e820 reserved region could be useful in 2nd kernel. For example, PCI mmconf (extended mode) requires reserved region otherwise it falls back to legacy mode. The following log is from Cliff Wickman <cpw@sgi.com>: PCI: MMCONFIG for domain 1003 [bus 3f-3f] at [mem 0xff0ff00000-0xff0fffffff] (base 0xff0c000000) [Firmware Bug]: PCI: MMCONFIG at [mem 0x80000000-0x80cfffff] not reserved in ACPI motherboard resources PCI: not using MMCONFIG PCI devices on segment 1 (>0) can't fall back to legacy mode, thus kernel probing fails and device can't be found. We don't pass reserved region because these regions could be too much and eat up our very limited kernel command line resource in memmap=exactmap case. However now we use e820 map and setup_data to pass memory map to 2nd kernel and the number of reserved regions should not be a problem any more.

2014-04-23x86: Pass memory range via E820 for kdumpWANG Chao
command line size is restricted by kernel, sometimes memmap=exactmap has too many memory ranges to pass to cmdline. And also memmap=exactmap and kASLR doesn't work together. A better approach, to pass the memory ranges for crash kernel to boot into, is filling the memory ranges into E820. boot_params only got 128 slots for E820 map to fit in, when the number of memory map exceeds 128, use setup_data to pass the rest as extended E820 memory map. kexec boot could also benefit from setup_data in case E820 memory map exceeds 128. Now this new approach becomes default instead of memmap=exactmap. saved_max_pfn users can specify --pass-memmap-cmdline to use the exactmap approach.

Currently CRASH_MAX_MEMMAP_NR is defined (KEXEC_MAX_SEGMENTS + 2), which is not enough for memmap_p. It must be increased to a much higher value.

2014-03-28x86, kaslr: add alternative way to locate kernel text mapping areaWANG Chao
When kASLR is enabled (CONFIG_RANDOMIZED_BASE=y), kernel text mapping base is randomized. The max base offset of such randomization is configured at compile time through CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MAX_BASE_OFFSET (by default 1G). Currently kexec-tools is using hard code macro X86_64__START_KERNEL_map (0xffffffff80000000) and X86_64_KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (512M) to determine kernel text mapping from kcore's PT_LOAD. With kASLR, the mapping is changed as the following: ffffffff80000000 - (ffffffff80000000+CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET) As Vivek suggested, we can get _stext kernel symbol address from /proc/kallsyms, and search for kcore's PT_LOAD which contains _stext, and we can say that this area represents the kernel mapping area. Let's first use this way to find out kernel text mapping. If failed for whatever reason, fall back to use the old way.
