crash: move crashkernel parsing and vmcore related code under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE Patch series "kexec/fadump: remove dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC and reuse crashkernel parameter for fadump", v4. Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash. Some architectures like powerpc can save vmcore using architecture specific support instead of kexec/kdump mechanism. Such architecture specific support also needs to reserve memory, to be used by dump capture kernel. crashkernel parameter can be a reused, for memory reservation, by such architecture specific infrastructure. This patchset removes dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC for crashkernel parameter and vmcoreinfo related code as it can be reused without kexec support. Also, crashkernel parameter is reused instead of fadump_reserve_mem to reserve memory for fadump. The first patch moves crashkernel parameter parsing and vmcoreinfo related code under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE instead of CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE. The second patch reuses the definitions of append_elf_note() & final_note() functions under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE in IA64 arch code. The third patch removes dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC for firmware-assisted dump (fadump) in powerpc. The next patch reuses crashkernel parameter for reserving memory for fadump, instead of the fadump_reserve_mem parameter. This has the advantage of using all syntaxes crashkernel parameter supports, for fadump as well. The last patch updates fadump kernel documentation about use of crashkernel parameter. This patch (of 5): Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash. Some architectures like powerpc can save vmcore using architecture specific support instead of kexec/kdump mechanism.

crash: move a few code bits to setup support of crash hotplug Patch series "crash: Kernel handling of CPU and memory hot un/plug", v28. Once the kdump service is loaded, if changes to CPUs or memory occur, either by hot un/plug or off/onlining, the crash elfcorehdr must also be updated. The elfcorehdr describes to kdump the CPUs and memory in the system, and any inaccuracies can result in a vmcore with missing CPU context or memory regions. The current solution utilizes udev to initiate an unload-then-reload of the kdump image (eg. kernel, initrd, boot_params, purgatory and elfcorehdr) by the userspace kexec utility. In the original post I outlined the significant performance problems related to offloading this activity to userspace. This patchset introduces a generic crash handler that registers with the CPU and memory notifiers. Upon CPU or memory changes, from either hot un/plug or off/onlining, this generic handler is invoked and performs important housekeeping, for example obtaining the appropriate lock, and then invokes an architecture specific handler to do the appropriate elfcorehdr update. Note the description in patch 'crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu()' and 'x86/crash: optimize CPU changes' that enables further optimizations related to CPU plug/unplug/online/offline performance of elfcorehdr updates. In the case of x86_64, the arch specific handler generates a new elfcorehdr, and overwrites the old one in memory; thus no involvement with userspace needed. To realize the benefits/test this patchset, one must make a couple of minor changes to userspace: - Prevent udev from updating kdump crash kernel on hot un/plug changes. Add the following as the first lines to the RHEL udev rule file /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules: # The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" With this changeset applied, the two rules evaluate to false for CPU and memory change events and thus skip the userspace unload-then-reload of kdump. - Change to the kexec_file_load for loading the kdump kernel: Eg. on RHEL: in /usr/bin/kdumpctl, change to: standard_kexec_args="-p -d -s" which adds the -s to select kexec_file_load() syscall. This kernel patchset also supports kexec_load() with a modified kexec userspace utility. A working changeset to the kexec userspace utility is posted to the kexec-tools mailing list here: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2023-May/027049.html To use the kexec-tools patch, apply, build and install kexec-tools, then change the kdumpctl's standard_kexec_args to replace the -s with --hotplug. The removal of -s reverts to the kexec_load syscall and the addition of --hotplug invokes the changes put forth in the kexec-tools patch. This patch (of 8): The crash hotplug support leans on the work for the kexec_file_load() syscall. To also support the kexec_load() syscall, a few bits of code need to be move outside of CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE. As such, these bits are moved out of kexec_file.c and into a common location crash_core.c. In addition, struct crash_mem and crash_notes were moved to new locales so that PROC_KCORE, which sets CRASH_CORE alone, builds correctly. No functionality change intended.

The crash elfcorehdr describes the CPUs and memory to be written into the vmcore. To track CPU changes, callbacks are registered with the cpuhp mechanism via cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls(CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN). The crash hotplug elfcorehdr update has no explicit ordering requirement (relative to other cpuhp states), so meets the criteria for utilizing CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN. CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN is a dynamic state and avoids the need to introduce a new state for crash hotplug. Also, CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN is the last state in the PREPARE group, just prior to the STARTING group, which is very close to the CPU starting up in a plug/online situation, or stopping in a unplug/ offline situation. This minimizes the window of time during an actual plug/online or unplug/offline situation in which the elfcorehdr would be inaccurate. Note that for a CPU being unplugged or offlined, the CPU will still be present in the list of CPUs generated by crash_prepare_elf64_headers(). However, there is no need to explicitly omit the CPU, see justification in 'crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu()'. To track memory changes, a notifier is registered to capture the memblock MEM_ONLINE and MEM_OFFLINE events via register_memory_notifier(). The CPU callbacks and memory notifiers invoke crash_handle_hotplug_event() which performs needed tasks and then dispatches the event to the architecture specific arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event() to update the elfcorehdr with the current state of CPUs and memory. During the process, the kexec_lock is held.

kdump: append kernel build-id string to VMCOREINFO Make kernel GNU build-id available in VMCOREINFO. Having build-id in VMCOREINFO facilitates presenting appropriate kernel namelist image with debug information file to kernel crash dump analysis tools. Currently VMCOREINFO lacks uniquely identifiable key for crash analysis automation. Regarding if this patch is necessary or matching of linux_banner and OSRELEASE in VMCOREINFO employed by crash(8) meets the need -- IMO, build-id approach more foolproof, in most instances it is a cryptographic hash generated using internal code/ELF bits unlike kernel version string upon which linux_banner is based that is external to the code. I feel each is intended for a different purpose. Also OSRELEASE is not suitable when two different kernel builds from same version with different features enabled. Currently for most linux (and non-linux) systems build-id can be extracted using standard methods for file types such as user mode crash dumps, shared libraries, loadable kernel modules etc., This is an exception for linux kernel dump. Having build-id in VMCOREINFO brings some uniformity for automation tools. Tyler said: : I think this is a nice improvement over today's linux_banner approach for : correlating vmlinux to a kernel dump. : : The elf notes parsing in this patch lines up with what is described in in : the "Notes (Nhdr)" section of the elf(5) man page. : : BUILD_ID_MAX is sufficient to hold a sha1 build-id, which is the default : build-id type today in GNU ld(2). It is also sufficient to hold the : "fast" build-id, which is the default build-id type today in LLVM lld(2).

vmcoreinfo: include kallsyms symbols The internal kallsyms tables contain information which could be quite useful to a debugging tool in the absence of other debuginfo. If kallsyms is enabled, then a debugging tool could parse it and use it as a fallback symbol table. Combined with BTF data, live & post-mortem debuggers can support basic operations without needing a large DWARF debuginfo file available. As many as five symbols are necessary to properly parse kallsyms names and addresses. Add these to the vmcoreinfo note. CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU does impact the computation of symbol addresses. However, a debugger can infer this configuration value by comparing the address of _stext in the vmcoreinfo with the address computed via kallsyms. So there's no need to include information about this config value in the vmcoreinfo note. To verify that we're still well below the maximum of 4096 bytes, I created a script[1] to compute a rough upper bound on the possible size of vmcoreinfo. On v5.18-rc7, the script reports 3106 bytes, and with this patch, the maximum become 3370 bytes.

vmcoreinfo: include kallsyms symbols The internal kallsyms tables contain information which could be quite useful to a debugging tool in the absence of other debuginfo. If kallsyms is enabled, then a debugging tool could parse it and use it as a fallback symbol table. Combined with BTF data, live & post-mortem debuggers can support basic operations without needing a large DWARF debuginfo file available. As many as five symbols are necessary to properly parse kallsyms names and addresses. Add these to the vmcoreinfo note. CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU does impact the computation of symbol addresses. However, a debugger can infer this configuration value by comparing the address of _stext in the vmcoreinfo with the address computed via kallsyms. So there's no need to include information about this config value in the vmcoreinfo note. To verify that we're still well below the maximum of 4096 bytes, I created a script[1] to compute a rough upper bound on the possible size of vmcoreinfo. On v5.18-rc7, the script reports 3106 bytes, and with this patch, the maximum become 3370 bytes.

crash: move a few code bits to setup support of crash hotplug Patch series "crash: Kernel handling of CPU and memory hot un/plug", v28. Once the kdump service is loaded, if changes to CPUs or memory occur, either by hot un/plug or off/onlining, the crash elfcorehdr must also be updated. The elfcorehdr describes to kdump the CPUs and memory in the system, and any inaccuracies can result in a vmcore with missing CPU context or memory regions. The current solution utilizes udev to initiate an unload-then-reload of the kdump image (eg. kernel, initrd, boot_params, purgatory and elfcorehdr) by the userspace kexec utility. In the original post I outlined the significant performance problems related to offloading this activity to userspace. This patchset introduces a generic crash handler that registers with the CPU and memory notifiers. Upon CPU or memory changes, from either hot un/plug or off/onlining, this generic handler is invoked and performs important housekeeping, for example obtaining the appropriate lock, and then invokes an architecture specific handler to do the appropriate elfcorehdr update. Note the description in patch 'crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu()' and 'x86/crash: optimize CPU changes' that enables further optimizations related to CPU plug/unplug/online/offline performance of elfcorehdr updates. In the case of x86_64, the arch specific handler generates a new elfcorehdr, and overwrites the old one in memory; thus no involvement with userspace needed. To realize the benefits/test this patchset, one must make a couple of minor changes to userspace: - Prevent udev from updating kdump crash kernel on hot un/plug changes. Add the following as the first lines to the RHEL udev rule file /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules: # The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" With this changeset applied, the two rules evaluate to false for CPU and memory change events and thus skip the userspace unload-then-reload of kdump. - Change to the kexec_file_load for loading the kdump kernel: Eg. on RHEL: in /usr/bin/kdumpctl, change to: standard_kexec_args="-p -d -s" which adds the -s to select kexec_file_load() syscall. This kernel patchset also supports kexec_load() with a modified kexec userspace utility. A working changeset to the kexec userspace utility is posted to the kexec-tools mailing list here: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2023-May/027049.html To use the kexec-tools patch, apply, build and install kexec-tools, then change the kdumpctl's standard_kexec_args to replace the -s with --hotplug. The removal of -s reverts to the kexec_load syscall and the addition of --hotplug invokes the changes put forth in the kexec-tools patch. This patch (of 8): The crash hotplug support leans on the work for the kexec_file_load() syscall. To also support the kexec_load() syscall, a few bits of code need to be move outside of CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE. As such, these bits are moved out of kexec_file.c and into a common location crash_core.c. In addition, struct crash_mem and crash_notes were moved to new locales so that PROC_KCORE, which sets CRASH_CORE alone, builds correctly. No functionality change intended.

crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu() The function crash_prepare_elf64_headers() generates the elfcorehdr which describes the CPUs and memory in the system for the crash kernel. In particular, it writes out ELF PT_NOTEs for memory regions and the CPUs in the system. With respect to the CPUs, the current implementation utilizes for_each_present_cpu() which means that as CPUs are added and removed, the elfcorehdr must again be updated to reflect the new set of CPUs. The reasoning behind the move to use for_each_possible_cpu(), is: - At kernel boot time, all percpu crash_notes are allocated for all possible CPUs; that is, crash_notes are not allocated dynamically when CPUs are plugged/unplugged. Thus the crash_notes for each possible CPU are always available. - The crash_prepare_elf64_headers() creates an ELF PT_NOTE per CPU. Changing to for_each_possible_cpu() is valid as the crash_notes pointed to by each CPU PT_NOTE are present and always valid. Furthermore, examining a common crash processing path of: kernel panic -> crash kernel -> makedumpfile -> 'crash' analyzer elfcorehdr /proc/vmcore vmcore reveals how the ELF CPU PT_NOTEs are utilized: - Upon panic, each CPU is sent an IPI and shuts itself down, recording its state in its crash_notes. When all CPUs are shutdown, the crash kernel is launched with a pointer to the elfcorehdr. - The crash kernel via linux/fs/proc/vmcore.c does not examine or use the contents of the PT_NOTEs, it exposes them via /proc/vmcore. - The makedumpfile utility uses /proc/vmcore and reads the CPU PT_NOTEs to craft a nr_cpus variable, which is reported in a header but otherwise generally unused. Makedumpfile creates the vmcore. - The 'crash' dump analyzer does not appear to reference the CPU PT_NOTEs. Instead it looks-up the cpu_[possible|present|onlin]_mask symbols and directly examines those structure contents from vmcore memory. From that information it is able to determine which CPUs are present and online, and locate the corresponding crash_notes. Said differently, it appears that 'crash' analyzer does not rely on the ELF PT_NOTEs for CPUs; rather it obtains the information directly via kernel symbols and the memory within the vmcore. (There maybe other vmcore generating and analysis tools that do use these PT_NOTEs, but 'makedumpfile' and 'crash' seems to be the most common solution.) This results in the benefit of having all CPUs described in the elfcorehdr, and therefore reducing the need to re-generate the elfcorehdr on CPU changes, at the small expense of an additional 56 bytes per PT_NOTE for not-present-but-possible CPUs. On systems where kexec_file_load() syscall is utilized, all the above is valid. On systems where kexec_load() syscall is utilized, there may be the need for the elfcorehdr to be regenerated once. The reason being that some archs only populate the 'present' CPUs from the /sys/devices/system/cpus entries, which the userspace 'kexec' utility uses to generate the userspace-supplied elfcorehdr. In this situation, one memory or CPU change will rewrite the elfcorehdr via the crash_prepare_elf64_headers() function and now all possible CPUs will be described, just as with kexec_file_load() syscall.

Add the following as the first lines to the RHEL udev rule file /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules: # The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" With this changeset applied, the two rules evaluate to false for CPU and memory change events and thus skip the userspace unload-then-reload of kdump. - Change to the kexec_file_load for loading the kdump kernel: Eg. on RHEL: in /usr/bin/kdumpctl, change to: standard_kexec_args="-p -d -s" which adds the -s to select kexec_file_load() syscall. This kernel patchset also supports kexec_load() with a modified kexec userspace utility. A working changeset to the kexec userspace utility is posted to the kexec-tools mailing list here: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2023-May/027049.html To use the kexec-tools patch, apply, build and install kexec-tools, then change the kdumpctl's standard_kexec_args to replace the -s with --hotplug. The removal of -s reverts to the kexec_load syscall and the addition of --hotplug invokes the changes put forth in the kexec-tools patch. This patch (of 8): The crash hotplug support leans on the work for the kexec_file_load() syscall. To also support the kexec_load() syscall, a few bits of code need to be move outside of CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE. As such, these bits are moved out of kexec_file.c and into a common location crash_core.c. In addition, struct crash_mem and crash_notes were moved to new locales so that PROC_KCORE, which sets CRASH_CORE alone, builds correctly. No functionality change intended.

crash: move a few code bits to setup support of crash hotplug Patch series "crash: Kernel handling of CPU and memory hot un/plug", v28. Once the kdump service is loaded, if changes to CPUs or memory occur, either by hot un/plug or off/onlining, the crash elfcorehdr must also be updated. The elfcorehdr describes to kdump the CPUs and memory in the system, and any inaccuracies can result in a vmcore with missing CPU context or memory regions. The current solution utilizes udev to initiate an unload-then-reload of the kdump image (eg. kernel, initrd, boot_params, purgatory and elfcorehdr) by the userspace kexec utility. In the original post I outlined the significant performance problems related to offloading this activity to userspace. This patchset introduces a generic crash handler that registers with the CPU and memory notifiers. Upon CPU or memory changes, from either hot un/plug or off/onlining, this generic handler is invoked and performs important housekeeping, for example obtaining the appropriate lock, and then invokes an architecture specific handler to do the appropriate elfcorehdr update. Note the description in patch 'crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu()' and 'x86/crash: optimize CPU changes' that enables further optimizations related to CPU plug/unplug/online/offline performance of elfcorehdr updates. In the case of x86_64, the arch specific handler generates a new elfcorehdr, and overwrites the old one in memory; thus no involvement with userspace needed.

Upon CPU or memory changes, from either hot un/plug or off/onlining, this generic handler is invoked and performs important housekeeping, for example obtaining the appropriate lock, and then invokes an architecture specific handler to do the appropriate elfcorehdr update. Note the description in patch 'crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu()' and 'x86/crash: optimize CPU changes' that enables further optimizations related to CPU plug/unplug/online/offline performance of elfcorehdr updates. In the case of x86_64, the arch specific handler generates a new elfcorehdr, and overwrites the old one in memory; thus no involvement with userspace needed. To realize the benefits/test this patchset, one must make a couple of minor changes to userspace: - Prevent udev from updating kdump crash kernel on hot un/plug changes. Add the following as the first lines to the RHEL udev rule file /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules: # The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" With this changeset applied, the two rules evaluate to false for CPU and memory change events and thus skip the userspace unload-then-reload of kdump. - Change to the kexec_file_load for loading the kdump kernel: Eg. on RHEL: in /usr/bin/kdumpctl, change to: standard_kexec_args="-p -d -s" which adds the -s to select kexec_file_load() syscall. This kernel patchset also supports kexec_load() with a modified kexec userspace utility. A working changeset to the kexec userspace utility is posted to the kexec-tools mailing list here: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2023-May/027049.html To use the kexec-tools patch, apply, build and install kexec-tools, then change the kdumpctl's standard_kexec_args to replace the -s with --hotplug. The removal of -s reverts to the kexec_load syscall and the addition of --hotplug invokes the changes put forth in the kexec-tools patch. This patch (of 8): The crash hotplug support leans on the work for the kexec_file_load() syscall. To also support the kexec_load() syscall, a few bits of code need to be move outside of CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE. As such, these bits are moved out of kexec_file.c and into a common location crash_core.c. In addition, struct crash_mem and crash_notes were moved to new locales so that PROC_KCORE, which sets CRASH_CORE alone, builds correctly. No functionality change intended.

crash: move a few code bits to setup support of crash hotplug Patch series "crash: Kernel handling of CPU and memory hot un/plug", v28. Once the kdump service is loaded, if changes to CPUs or memory occur, either by hot un/plug or off/onlining, the crash elfcorehdr must also be updated. The elfcorehdr describes to kdump the CPUs and memory in the system, and any inaccuracies can result in a vmcore with missing CPU context or memory regions. The current solution utilizes udev to initiate an unload-then-reload of the kdump image (eg. kernel, initrd, boot_params, purgatory and elfcorehdr) by the userspace kexec utility. In the original post I outlined the significant performance problems related to offloading this activity to userspace. This patchset introduces a generic crash handler that registers with the CPU and memory notifiers. Upon CPU or memory changes, from either hot un/plug or off/onlining, this generic handler is invoked and performs important housekeeping, for example obtaining the appropriate lock, and then invokes an architecture specific handler to do the appropriate elfcorehdr update. Note the description in patch 'crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu()' and 'x86/crash: optimize CPU changes' that enables further optimizations related to CPU plug/unplug/online/offline performance of elfcorehdr updates. In the case of x86_64, the arch specific handler generates a new elfcorehdr, and overwrites the old one in memory; thus no involvement with userspace needed. To realize the benefits/test this patchset, one must make a couple of minor changes to userspace: - Prevent udev from updating kdump crash kernel on hot un/plug changes. Add the following as the first lines to the RHEL udev rule file /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules: # The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" With this changeset applied, the two rules evaluate to false for CPU and memory change events and thus skip the userspace unload-then-reload of kdump. - Change to the kexec_file_load for loading the kdump kernel: Eg. on RHEL: in /usr/bin/kdumpctl, change to: standard_kexec_args="-p -d -s" which adds the -s to select kexec_file_load() syscall. This kernel patchset also supports kexec_load() with a modified kexec userspace utility.

crash: add generic infrastructure for crash hotplug support To support crash hotplug, a mechanism is needed to update the crash elfcorehdr upon CPU or memory changes (eg. hot un/plug or off/ onlining). The crash elfcorehdr describes the CPUs and memory to be written into the vmcore. To track CPU changes, callbacks are registered with the cpuhp mechanism via cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls(CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN). The crash hotplug elfcorehdr update has no explicit ordering requirement (relative to other cpuhp states), so meets the criteria for utilizing CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN. CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN is a dynamic state and avoids the need to introduce a new state for crash hotplug. Also, CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN is the last state in the PREPARE group, just prior to the STARTING group, which is very close to the CPU starting up in a plug/online situation, or stopping in a unplug/ offline situation. This minimizes the window of time during an actual plug/online or unplug/offline situation in which the elfcorehdr would be inaccurate. Note that for a CPU being unplugged or offlined, the CPU will still be present in the list of CPUs generated by crash_prepare_elf64_headers(). However, there is no need to explicitly omit the CPU, see justification in 'crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu()'. To track memory changes, a notifier is registered to capture the memblock MEM_ONLINE and MEM_OFFLINE events via register_memory_notifier(). The CPU callbacks and memory notifiers invoke crash_handle_hotplug_event() which performs needed tasks and then dispatches the event to the architecture specific arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event() to update the elfcorehdr with the current state of CPUs and memory. During the process, the kexec_lock is held.

crash: hotplug support for kexec_load() The hotplug support for kexec_load() requires changes to the userspace kexec-tools and a little extra help from the kernel. Given a kdump capture kernel loaded via kexec_load(), and a subsequent hotplug event, the crash hotplug handler finds the elfcorehdr and rewrites it to reflect the hotplug change. That is the desired outcome, however, at kernel panic time, the purgatory integrity check fails (because the elfcorehdr changed), and the capture kernel does not boot and no vmcore is generated. Therefore, the userspace kexec-tools/kexec must indicate to the kernel that the elfcorehdr can be modified (because the kexec excluded the elfcorehdr from the digest, and sized the elfcorehdr memory buffer appropriately). To facilitate hotplug support with kexec_load(): - a new kexec flag KEXEC_UPATE_ELFCOREHDR indicates that it is safe for the kernel to modify the kexec_load()'d elfcorehdr - the /sys/kernel/crash_elfcorehdr_size node communicates the preferred size of the elfcorehdr memory buffer - The sysfs crash_hotplug nodes (ie. /sys/devices/system/[cpu|memory]/crash_hotplug) dynamically take into account kexec_file_load() vs kexec_load() and KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR. This is critical so that the udev rule processing of crash_hotplug is all that is needed to determine if the userspace unload-then-load of the kdump image is to be skipped, or not. The proposed udev rule change looks like: # The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" The table below indicates the behavior of kexec_load()'d kdump image updates (with the new udev crash_hotplug rule in place): Kernel |Kexec -------+-----+---- Old |Old |New | a | a -------+-----+---- New | a | b -------+-----+---- where kexec 'old' and 'new' delineate kexec-tools has the needed modifications for the crash hotplug feature, and kernel 'old' and 'new' delineate the kernel supports this crash hotplug feature. Behavior 'a' indicates the unload-then-reload of the entire kdump image. For the kexec 'old' column, the unload-then-reload occurs due to the missing flag KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR. An 'old' kernel (with 'new' kexec) does not present the crash_hotplug sysfs node, which leads to the unload-then-reload of the kdump image. Behavior 'b' indicates the desired optimized behavior of the kernel directly modifying the elfcorehdr and avoiding the unload-then-reload of the kdump image. If the udev rule is not updated with crash_hotplug node check, then no matter any combination of kernel or kexec is new or old, the kdump image continues to be unload-then-reload on hotplug changes. To fully support crash hotplug feature, there needs to be a rollout of kernel, kexec-tools and udev rule changes. However, the order of the rollout of these pieces does not matter; kexec_load()'d kdump images still function for hotplug as-is.

crash: add generic infrastructure for crash hotplug support To support crash hotplug, a mechanism is needed to update the crash elfcorehdr upon CPU or memory changes (eg. hot un/plug or off/ onlining). The crash elfcorehdr describes the CPUs and memory to be written into the vmcore. To track CPU changes, callbacks are registered with the cpuhp mechanism via cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls(CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN). The crash hotplug elfcorehdr update has no explicit ordering requirement (relative to other cpuhp states), so meets the criteria for utilizing CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN. CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN is a dynamic state and avoids the need to introduce a new state for crash hotplug. Also, CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN is the last state in the PREPARE group, just prior to the STARTING group, which is very close to the CPU starting up in a plug/online situation, or stopping in a unplug/ offline situation. This minimizes the window of time during an actual plug/online or unplug/offline situation in which the elfcorehdr would be inaccurate. Note that for a CPU being unplugged or offlined, the CPU will still be present in the list of CPUs generated by crash_prepare_elf64_headers(). However, there is no need to explicitly omit the CPU, see justification in 'crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu()'. To track memory changes, a notifier is registered to capture the memblock MEM_ONLINE and MEM_OFFLINE events via register_memory_notifier(). The CPU callbacks and memory notifiers invoke crash_handle_hotplug_event() which performs needed tasks and then dispatches the event to the architecture specific arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event() to update the elfcorehdr with the current state of CPUs and memory. During the process, the kexec_lock is held.

However, there is no need to explicitly omit the CPU, see justification in 'crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu()'. To track memory changes, a notifier is registered to capture the memblock MEM_ONLINE and MEM_OFFLINE events via register_memory_notifier(). The CPU callbacks and memory notifiers invoke crash_handle_hotplug_event() which performs needed tasks and then dispatches the event to the architecture specific arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event() to update the elfcorehdr with the current state of CPUs and memory. During the process, the kexec_lock is held.

crash: hotplug support for kexec_load() The hotplug support for kexec_load() requires changes to the userspace kexec-tools and a little extra help from the kernel. Given a kdump capture kernel loaded via kexec_load(), and a subsequent hotplug event, the crash hotplug handler finds the elfcorehdr and rewrites it to reflect the hotplug change. That is the desired outcome, however, at kernel panic time, the purgatory integrity check fails (because the elfcorehdr changed), and the capture kernel does not boot and no vmcore is generated. Therefore, the userspace kexec-tools/kexec must indicate to the kernel that the elfcorehdr can be modified (because the kexec excluded the elfcorehdr from the digest, and sized the elfcorehdr memory buffer appropriately). To facilitate hotplug support with kexec_load(): - a new kexec flag KEXEC_UPATE_ELFCOREHDR indicates that it is safe for the kernel to modify the kexec_load()'d elfcorehdr - the /sys/kernel/crash_elfcorehdr_size node communicates the preferred size of the elfcorehdr memory buffer - The sysfs crash_hotplug nodes (ie. /sys/devices/system/[cpu|memory]/crash_hotplug) dynamically take into account kexec_file_load() vs kexec_load() and KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR. This is critical so that the udev rule processing of crash_hotplug is all that is needed to determine if the userspace unload-then-load of the kdump image is to be skipped, or not. The proposed udev rule change looks like: # The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" The table below indicates the behavior of kexec_load()'d kdump image updates (with the new udev crash_hotplug rule in place): Kernel |Kexec -------+-----+---- Old |Old |New | a | a -------+-----+---- New | a | b -------+-----+---- where kexec 'old' and 'new' delineate kexec-tools has the needed modifications for the crash hotplug feature, and kernel 'old' and 'new' delineate the kernel supports this crash hotplug feature. Behavior 'a' indicates the unload-then-reload of the entire kdump image. For the kexec 'old' column, the unload-then-reload occurs due to the missing flag KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR. An 'old' kernel (with 'new' kexec) does not present the crash_hotplug sysfs node, which leads to the unload-then-reload of the kdump image. Behavior 'b' indicates the desired optimized behavior of the kernel directly modifying the elfcorehdr and avoiding the unload-then-reload of the kdump image. If the udev rule is not updated with crash_hotplug node check, then no matter any combination of kernel or kexec is new or old, the kdump image continues to be unload-then-reload on hotplug changes. To fully support crash hotplug feature, there needs to be a rollout of kernel, kexec-tools and udev rule changes. However, the order of the rollout of these pieces does not matter; kexec_load()'d kdump images still function for hotplug as-is.
