include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

vmcore: allocate ELF note segment in the 2nd kernel vmalloc memory The reasons why we don't allocate ELF note segment in the 1st kernel (old memory) on page boundary is to keep backward compatibility for old kernels, and that if doing so, we waste not a little memory due to round-up operation to fit the memory to page boundary since most of the buffers are in per-cpu area. ELF notes are per-cpu, so total size of ELF note segments depends on number of CPUs. The current maximum number of CPUs on x86_64 is 5192, and there's already system with 4192 CPUs in SGI, where total size amounts to 1MB. This can be larger in the near future or possibly even now on another architecture that has larger size of note per a single cpu. Thus, to avoid the case where memory allocation for large block fails, we allocate vmcore objects on vmalloc memory. This patch adds elfnotes_buf and elfnotes_sz variables to keep pointer to the ELF note segment buffer and its size. There's no longer the vmcore object that corresponds to the ELF note segment in vmcore_list. Accordingly, read_vmcore() has new case for ELF note segment and set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32}() and other helper functions starts calculating offset from sum of size of ELF headers and size of ELF note segment.

vmcore: introduce ELF header in new memory feature For s390 we want to use /proc/vmcore for our SCSI stand-alone dump (zfcpdump). We have support where the first HSA_SIZE bytes are saved into a hypervisor owned memory area (HSA) before the kdump kernel is booted. When the kdump kernel starts, it is restricted to use only HSA_SIZE bytes. The advantages of this mechanism are: * No crashkernel memory has to be defined in the old kernel. * Early boot problems (before kexec_load has been done) can be dumped * Non-Linux systems can be dumped. We modify the s390 copy_oldmem_page() function to read from the HSA memory if memory below HSA_SIZE bytes is requested. Since we cannot use the kexec tool to load the kernel in this scenario, we have to build the ELF header in the 2nd (kdump/new) kernel. So with the following patch set we would like to introduce the new function that the ELF header for /proc/vmcore can be created in the 2nd kernel memory. The following steps are done during zfcpdump execution: 1. Production system crashes 2. User boots a SCSI disk that has been prepared with the zfcpdump tool 3. Hypervisor saves CPU state of boot CPU and HSA_SIZE bytes of memory into HSA 4. Boot loader loads kernel into low memory area 5. Kernel boots and uses only HSA_SIZE bytes of memory 6. Kernel saves registers of non-boot CPUs 7. Kernel does memory detection for dump memory map 8. Kernel creates ELF header for /proc/vmcore 9. /proc/vmcore uses this header for initialization 10. The zfcpdump user space reads /proc/vmcore to write dump to SCSI disk - copy_oldmem_page() copies from HSA for memory below HSA_SIZE - copy_oldmem_page() copies from real memory for memory above HSA_SIZE Currently for s390 we create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel with a small trick. We relocate the addresses in the ELF header in a way that for the /proc/vmcore code it seems to be in the 1st kernel (old) memory and the read_from_oldmem() returns the correct data. This allows the /proc/vmcore code to use the ELF header in the 2nd kernel. This patch: Exchange the old mechanism with the new and much cleaner function call override feature that now offcially allows to create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel. To use the new feature the following function have to be defined by the architecture backend code to read from new memory: * elfcorehdr_alloc: Allocate ELF header * elfcorehdr_free: Free the memory of the ELF header * elfcorehdr_read: Read from ELF header * elfcorehdr_read_notes: Read from ELF notes Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jan Willeke <willeke@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

vmcore: allocate ELF note segment in the 2nd kernel vmalloc memory The reasons why we don't allocate ELF note segment in the 1st kernel (old memory) on page boundary is to keep backward compatibility for old kernels, and that if doing so, we waste not a little memory due to round-up operation to fit the memory to page boundary since most of the buffers are in per-cpu area. ELF notes are per-cpu, so total size of ELF note segments depends on number of CPUs. The current maximum number of CPUs on x86_64 is 5192, and there's already system with 4192 CPUs in SGI, where total size amounts to 1MB. This can be larger in the near future or possibly even now on another architecture that has larger size of note per a single cpu. Thus, to avoid the case where memory allocation for large block fails, we allocate vmcore objects on vmalloc memory. This patch adds elfnotes_buf and elfnotes_sz variables to keep pointer to the ELF note segment buffer and its size. There's no longer the vmcore object that corresponds to the ELF note segment in vmcore_list. Accordingly, read_vmcore() has new case for ELF note segment and set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32}() and other helper functions starts calculating offset from sum of size of ELF headers and size of ELF note segment.

vmcore: introduce ELF header in new memory feature For s390 we want to use /proc/vmcore for our SCSI stand-alone dump (zfcpdump). We have support where the first HSA_SIZE bytes are saved into a hypervisor owned memory area (HSA) before the kdump kernel is booted. When the kdump kernel starts, it is restricted to use only HSA_SIZE bytes. The advantages of this mechanism are: * No crashkernel memory has to be defined in the old kernel. * Early boot problems (before kexec_load has been done) can be dumped * Non-Linux systems can be dumped. We modify the s390 copy_oldmem_page() function to read from the HSA memory if memory below HSA_SIZE bytes is requested. Since we cannot use the kexec tool to load the kernel in this scenario, we have to build the ELF header in the 2nd (kdump/new) kernel. So with the following patch set we would like to introduce the new function that the ELF header for /proc/vmcore can be created in the 2nd kernel memory. The following steps are done during zfcpdump execution: 1. Production system crashes 2. User boots a SCSI disk that has been prepared with the zfcpdump tool 3. Hypervisor saves CPU state of boot CPU and HSA_SIZE bytes of memory into HSA 4. Boot loader loads kernel into low memory area 5. Kernel boots and uses only HSA_SIZE bytes of memory 6. Kernel saves registers of non-boot CPUs 7. Kernel does memory detection for dump memory map 8. Kernel creates ELF header for /proc/vmcore 9. /proc/vmcore uses this header for initialization 10. The zfcpdump user space reads /proc/vmcore to write dump to SCSI disk - copy_oldmem_page() copies from HSA for memory below HSA_SIZE - copy_oldmem_page() copies from real memory for memory above HSA_SIZE Currently for s390 we create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel with a small trick. We relocate the addresses in the ELF header in a way that for the /proc/vmcore code it seems to be in the 1st kernel (old) memory and the read_from_oldmem() returns the correct data. This allows the /proc/vmcore code to use the ELF header in the 2nd kernel. This patch: Exchange the old mechanism with the new and much cleaner function call override feature that now offcially allows to create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel. To use the new feature the following function have to be defined by the architecture backend code to read from new memory: * elfcorehdr_alloc: Allocate ELF header * elfcorehdr_free: Free the memory of the ELF header * elfcorehdr_read: Read from ELF header * elfcorehdr_read_notes: Read from ELF notes Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jan Willeke <willeke@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

vmcore: prevent PT_NOTE p_memsz overflow during header update Currently, update_note_header_size_elf64() and update_note_header_size_elf32() will add the size of a PT_NOTE entry to real_sz even if that causes real_sz to exceeds max_sz. This patch corrects the while loop logic in those routines to ensure that does not happen and prints a warning if a PT_NOTE entry is dropped. If zero PT_NOTE entries are found or this condition is encountered because the only entry was dropped, a warning is printed and an error is returned. One possible negative side effect of exceeding the max_sz limit is an allocation failure in merge_note_headers_elf64() or merge_note_headers_elf32() which would produce console output such as the following while booting the crash kernel. vmalloc: allocation failure: 14076997632 bytes swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x80d2 CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.10.0-gbp1 #7 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x19/0x1b warn_alloc_failed+0xf0/0x160 __vmalloc_node_range+0x19e/0x250 vmalloc_user+0x4c/0x70 merge_note_headers_elf64.constprop.9+0x116/0x24a vmcore_init+0x2d4/0x76c do_one_initcall+0xe2/0x190 kernel_init_freeable+0x17c/0x207 kernel_init+0xe/0x180 ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 Kdump: vmcore not initialized kdump: dump target is /dev/sda4 kdump: saving to /sysroot//var/crash/127.0.0.1-2014.01.28-13:58:52/ kdump: saving vmcore-dmesg.txt Cannot open /proc/vmcore: No such file or directory kdump: saving vmcore-dmesg.txt failed kdump: saving vmcore kdump: saving vmcore failed This type of failure has been seen on a four socket prototype system with certain memory configurations.

The zfcpdump user space reads /proc/vmcore to write dump to SCSI disk - copy_oldmem_page() copies from HSA for memory below HSA_SIZE - copy_oldmem_page() copies from real memory for memory above HSA_SIZE Currently for s390 we create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel with a small trick. We relocate the addresses in the ELF header in a way that for the /proc/vmcore code it seems to be in the 1st kernel (old) memory and the read_from_oldmem() returns the correct data. This allows the /proc/vmcore code to use the ELF header in the 2nd kernel. This patch: Exchange the old mechanism with the new and much cleaner function call override feature that now offcially allows to create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel. To use the new feature the following function have to be defined by the architecture backend code to read from new memory: * elfcorehdr_alloc: Allocate ELF header * elfcorehdr_free: Free the memory of the ELF header * elfcorehdr_read: Read from ELF header * elfcorehdr_read_notes: Read from ELF notes Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jan Willeke <willeke@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

vmcore: introduce ELF header in new memory feature For s390 we want to use /proc/vmcore for our SCSI stand-alone dump (zfcpdump). We have support where the first HSA_SIZE bytes are saved into a hypervisor owned memory area (HSA) before the kdump kernel is booted. When the kdump kernel starts, it is restricted to use only HSA_SIZE bytes. The advantages of this mechanism are: * No crashkernel memory has to be defined in the old kernel. * Early boot problems (before kexec_load has been done) can be dumped * Non-Linux systems can be dumped. We modify the s390 copy_oldmem_page() function to read from the HSA memory if memory below HSA_SIZE bytes is requested. Since we cannot use the kexec tool to load the kernel in this scenario, we have to build the ELF header in the 2nd (kdump/new) kernel. So with the following patch set we would like to introduce the new function that the ELF header for /proc/vmcore can be created in the 2nd kernel memory. The following steps are done during zfcpdump execution: 1. Production system crashes 2. User boots a SCSI disk that has been prepared with the zfcpdump tool 3. Hypervisor saves CPU state of boot CPU and HSA_SIZE bytes of memory into HSA 4. Boot loader loads kernel into low memory area 5. Kernel boots and uses only HSA_SIZE bytes of memory 6. Kernel saves registers of non-boot CPUs 7. Kernel does memory detection for dump memory map 8. Kernel creates ELF header for /proc/vmcore 9. /proc/vmcore uses this header for initialization 10. The zfcpdump user space reads /proc/vmcore to write dump to SCSI disk - copy_oldmem_page() copies from HSA for memory below HSA_SIZE - copy_oldmem_page() copies from real memory for memory above HSA_SIZE Currently for s390 we create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel with a small trick. We relocate the addresses in the ELF header in a way that for the /proc/vmcore code it seems to be in the 1st kernel (old) memory and the read_from_oldmem() returns the correct data. This allows the /proc/vmcore code to use the ELF header in the 2nd kernel.

vmcore: prevent PT_NOTE p_memsz overflow during header update Currently, update_note_header_size_elf64() and update_note_header_size_elf32() will add the size of a PT_NOTE entry to real_sz even if that causes real_sz to exceeds max_sz. This patch corrects the while loop logic in those routines to ensure that does not happen and prints a warning if a PT_NOTE entry is dropped. If zero PT_NOTE entries are found or this condition is encountered because the only entry was dropped, a warning is printed and an error is returned.

If zero PT_NOTE entries are found or this condition is encountered because the only entry was dropped, a warning is printed and an error is returned. One possible negative side effect of exceeding the max_sz limit is an allocation failure in merge_note_headers_elf64() or merge_note_headers_elf32() which would produce console output such as the following while booting the crash kernel. vmalloc: allocation failure: 14076997632 bytes swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x80d2 CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.10.0-gbp1 #7 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x19/0x1b warn_alloc_failed+0xf0/0x160 __vmalloc_node_range+0x19e/0x250 vmalloc_user+0x4c/0x70 merge_note_headers_elf64.constprop.9+0x116/0x24a vmcore_init+0x2d4/0x76c do_one_initcall+0xe2/0x190 kernel_init_freeable+0x17c/0x207 kernel_init+0xe/0x180 ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 Kdump: vmcore not initialized kdump: dump target is /dev/sda4 kdump: saving to /sysroot//var/crash/127.0.0.1-2014.01.28-13:58:52/ kdump: saving vmcore-dmesg.txt Cannot open /proc/vmcore: No such file or directory kdump: saving vmcore-dmesg.txt failed kdump: saving vmcore kdump: saving vmcore failed This type of failure has been seen on a four socket prototype system with certain memory configurations. Most PT_NOTE sections have a single entry similar to: n_namesz = 0x5 n_descsz = 0x150 n_type = 0x1 Occasionally, a second entry is encountered with very large n_namesz and n_descsz sizes: n_namesz = 0x80000008 n_descsz = 0x510ae163 n_type = 0x80000008 Not yet sure of the source of these extra entries, they seem bogus, but they shouldn't cause crash dump to fail.

vmcore: allocate ELF note segment in the 2nd kernel vmalloc memory The reasons why we don't allocate ELF note segment in the 1st kernel (old memory) on page boundary is to keep backward compatibility for old kernels, and that if doing so, we waste not a little memory due to round-up operation to fit the memory to page boundary since most of the buffers are in per-cpu area. ELF notes are per-cpu, so total size of ELF note segments depends on number of CPUs. The current maximum number of CPUs on x86_64 is 5192, and there's already system with 4192 CPUs in SGI, where total size amounts to 1MB. This can be larger in the near future or possibly even now on another architecture that has larger size of note per a single cpu. Thus, to avoid the case where memory allocation for large block fails, we allocate vmcore objects on vmalloc memory. This patch adds elfnotes_buf and elfnotes_sz variables to keep pointer to the ELF note segment buffer and its size. There's no longer the vmcore object that corresponds to the ELF note segment in vmcore_list. Accordingly, read_vmcore() has new case for ELF note segment and set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32}() and other helper functions starts calculating offset from sum of size of ELF headers and size of ELF note segment.

vmcore: introduce ELF header in new memory feature For s390 we want to use /proc/vmcore for our SCSI stand-alone dump (zfcpdump). We have support where the first HSA_SIZE bytes are saved into a hypervisor owned memory area (HSA) before the kdump kernel is booted. When the kdump kernel starts, it is restricted to use only HSA_SIZE bytes. The advantages of this mechanism are: * No crashkernel memory has to be defined in the old kernel. * Early boot problems (before kexec_load has been done) can be dumped * Non-Linux systems can be dumped. We modify the s390 copy_oldmem_page() function to read from the HSA memory if memory below HSA_SIZE bytes is requested. Since we cannot use the kexec tool to load the kernel in this scenario, we have to build the ELF header in the 2nd (kdump/new) kernel. So with the following patch set we would like to introduce the new function that the ELF header for /proc/vmcore can be created in the 2nd kernel memory. The following steps are done during zfcpdump execution: 1. Production system crashes 2. User boots a SCSI disk that has been prepared with the zfcpdump tool 3. Hypervisor saves CPU state of boot CPU and HSA_SIZE bytes of memory into HSA 4. Boot loader loads kernel into low memory area 5. Kernel boots and uses only HSA_SIZE bytes of memory 6. Kernel saves registers of non-boot CPUs 7. Kernel does memory detection for dump memory map 8. Kernel creates ELF header for /proc/vmcore 9. /proc/vmcore uses this header for initialization 10. The zfcpdump user space reads /proc/vmcore to write dump to SCSI disk - copy_oldmem_page() copies from HSA for memory below HSA_SIZE - copy_oldmem_page() copies from real memory for memory above HSA_SIZE Currently for s390 we create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel with a small trick. We relocate the addresses in the ELF header in a way that for the /proc/vmcore code it seems to be in the 1st kernel (old) memory and the read_from_oldmem() returns the correct data. This allows the /proc/vmcore code to use the ELF header in the 2nd kernel. This patch: Exchange the old mechanism with the new and much cleaner function call override feature that now offcially allows to create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel. To use the new feature the following function have to be defined by the architecture backend code to read from new memory: * elfcorehdr_alloc: Allocate ELF header * elfcorehdr_free: Free the memory of the ELF header * elfcorehdr_read: Read from ELF header * elfcorehdr_read_notes: Read from ELF notes Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jan Willeke <willeke@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

vmcore: allocate ELF note segment in the 2nd kernel vmalloc memory The reasons why we don't allocate ELF note segment in the 1st kernel (old memory) on page boundary is to keep backward compatibility for old kernels, and that if doing so, we waste not a little memory due to round-up operation to fit the memory to page boundary since most of the buffers are in per-cpu area. ELF notes are per-cpu, so total size of ELF note segments depends on number of CPUs. The current maximum number of CPUs on x86_64 is 5192, and there's already system with 4192 CPUs in SGI, where total size amounts to 1MB. This can be larger in the near future or possibly even now on another architecture that has larger size of note per a single cpu. Thus, to avoid the case where memory allocation for large block fails, we allocate vmcore objects on vmalloc memory. This patch adds elfnotes_buf and elfnotes_sz variables to keep pointer to the ELF note segment buffer and its size. There's no longer the vmcore object that corresponds to the ELF note segment in vmcore_list. Accordingly, read_vmcore() has new case for ELF note segment and set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32}() and other helper functions starts calculating offset from sum of size of ELF headers and size of ELF note segment.

vmcore: introduce ELF header in new memory feature For s390 we want to use /proc/vmcore for our SCSI stand-alone dump (zfcpdump). We have support where the first HSA_SIZE bytes are saved into a hypervisor owned memory area (HSA) before the kdump kernel is booted. When the kdump kernel starts, it is restricted to use only HSA_SIZE bytes. The advantages of this mechanism are: * No crashkernel memory has to be defined in the old kernel. * Early boot problems (before kexec_load has been done) can be dumped * Non-Linux systems can be dumped. We modify the s390 copy_oldmem_page() function to read from the HSA memory if memory below HSA_SIZE bytes is requested. Since we cannot use the kexec tool to load the kernel in this scenario, we have to build the ELF header in the 2nd (kdump/new) kernel. So with the following patch set we would like to introduce the new function that the ELF header for /proc/vmcore can be created in the 2nd kernel memory. The following steps are done during zfcpdump execution: 1. Production system crashes 2. User boots a SCSI disk that has been prepared with the zfcpdump tool 3. Hypervisor saves CPU state of boot CPU and HSA_SIZE bytes of memory into HSA 4. Boot loader loads kernel into low memory area 5. Kernel boots and uses only HSA_SIZE bytes of memory 6. Kernel saves registers of non-boot CPUs 7. Kernel does memory detection for dump memory map 8. Kernel creates ELF header for /proc/vmcore 9. /proc/vmcore uses this header for initialization 10. The zfcpdump user space reads /proc/vmcore to write dump to SCSI disk - copy_oldmem_page() copies from HSA for memory below HSA_SIZE - copy_oldmem_page() copies from real memory for memory above HSA_SIZE Currently for s390 we create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel with a small trick. We relocate the addresses in the ELF header in a way that for the /proc/vmcore code it seems to be in the 1st kernel (old) memory and the read_from_oldmem() returns the correct data. This allows the /proc/vmcore code to use the ELF header in the 2nd kernel. This patch: Exchange the old mechanism with the new and much cleaner function call override feature that now offcially allows to create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel. To use the new feature the following function have to be defined by the architecture backend code to read from new memory: * elfcorehdr_alloc: Allocate ELF header * elfcorehdr_free: Free the memory of the ELF header * elfcorehdr_read: Read from ELF header * elfcorehdr_read_notes: Read from ELF notes Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jan Willeke <willeke@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The zfcpdump user space reads /proc/vmcore to write dump to SCSI disk - copy_oldmem_page() copies from HSA for memory below HSA_SIZE - copy_oldmem_page() copies from real memory for memory above HSA_SIZE Currently for s390 we create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel with a small trick. We relocate the addresses in the ELF header in a way that for the /proc/vmcore code it seems to be in the 1st kernel (old) memory and the read_from_oldmem() returns the correct data. This allows the /proc/vmcore code to use the ELF header in the 2nd kernel. This patch: Exchange the old mechanism with the new and much cleaner function call override feature that now offcially allows to create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel. To use the new feature the following function have to be defined by the architecture backend code to read from new memory: * elfcorehdr_alloc: Allocate ELF header * elfcorehdr_free: Free the memory of the ELF header * elfcorehdr_read: Read from ELF header * elfcorehdr_read_notes: Read from ELF notes Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jan Willeke <willeke@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

vmcore: allocate ELF note segment in the 2nd kernel vmalloc memory The reasons why we don't allocate ELF note segment in the 1st kernel (old memory) on page boundary is to keep backward compatibility for old kernels, and that if doing so, we waste not a little memory due to round-up operation to fit the memory to page boundary since most of the buffers are in per-cpu area. ELF notes are per-cpu, so total size of ELF note segments depends on number of CPUs. The current maximum number of CPUs on x86_64 is 5192, and there's already system with 4192 CPUs in SGI, where total size amounts to 1MB. This can be larger in the near future or possibly even now on another architecture that has larger size of note per a single cpu. Thus, to avoid the case where memory allocation for large block fails, we allocate vmcore objects on vmalloc memory. This patch adds elfnotes_buf and elfnotes_sz variables to keep pointer to the ELF note segment buffer and its size. There's no longer the vmcore object that corresponds to the ELF note segment in vmcore_list. Accordingly, read_vmcore() has new case for ELF note segment and set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32}() and other helper functions starts calculating offset from sum of size of ELF headers and size of ELF note segment.

vmcore: introduce ELF header in new memory feature For s390 we want to use /proc/vmcore for our SCSI stand-alone dump (zfcpdump). We have support where the first HSA_SIZE bytes are saved into a hypervisor owned memory area (HSA) before the kdump kernel is booted. When the kdump kernel starts, it is restricted to use only HSA_SIZE bytes. The advantages of this mechanism are: * No crashkernel memory has to be defined in the old kernel. * Early boot problems (before kexec_load has been done) can be dumped * Non-Linux systems can be dumped. We modify the s390 copy_oldmem_page() function to read from the HSA memory if memory below HSA_SIZE bytes is requested. Since we cannot use the kexec tool to load the kernel in this scenario, we have to build the ELF header in the 2nd (kdump/new) kernel. So with the following patch set we would like to introduce the new function that the ELF header for /proc/vmcore can be created in the 2nd kernel memory. The following steps are done during zfcpdump execution: 1. Production system crashes 2. User boots a SCSI disk that has been prepared with the zfcpdump tool 3.
