kexec: fix crash_save_vmcoreinfo_init build problem

2008-10-20T22:28:50Z

This fixes kernel/kexec.c: In function 'crash_save_vmcoreinfo_init': kernel/kexec.c:1374: error: 'vmlist' undeclared (first use in this function) kernel/kexec.c:1374: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once kernel/kexec.c:1374: error: for each function it appears in.) kernel/kexec.c:1410: error: invalid use of undefined type 'struct vm_struct' make[1]: *** [kernel/kexec.o] Error 1 Signed-off-by: Tony Luck Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kdump: add vmlist.addr to vmcoreinfo for x86 vmalloc translation.

2008-10-20T15:52:40Z

Add the symbols 'vmlist' and offset 'vm_struct.addr' to the vmcoreinfo[1] data for i386 vmalloc translation. makedumpfile[2] needs VMALLOC_START value for distinguishing a vmalloc address or not, because it should choose suitable translation method. If applying this patch, makedumpfile will be able to take VMALLOC_START value from 'vmlist.addr'. vmcoreinfo[1]: The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. makedumpfile[2] uses it to distinguish unnecessary pages and creates a small dumpfile. makedumpfile[2]: dump filtering command https://sourceforge.net/projects/makedumpfile/ Signed-off-by: Ken'ichi Ohmichi Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kexec: fix segmentation fault in kimage_add_entry

2008-09-23T15:09:14Z

A segmentation fault can occur in kimage_add_entry in kexec.c when loading a kernel image into memory. The fault occurs because a page is requested by calling kimage_alloc_page with gfp_mask GFP_KERNEL and the function may actually return a page with gfp_mask GFP_HIGHUSER. The high mem page is returned because it was swapped with the kernel page due to the kernel page being a page that will shortly be copied to. This patch ensures that kimage_alloc_page returns a page that was created with the correct gfp flags. I have verified the change and fixed the whitespace damage of the original patch. Jonathan did a great job of tracking this down after he hit the problem. -- Eric Signed-off-by: Jonathan Steel Signed-off-by: Eric W.

kexec: use a mutex for locking rather than xchg()

kexec jump: fix for ftrace

2008-08-15T15:35:43Z

Ftrace depends on some processor state that we destroyed during kexec and restored by restore_processor_state(). So save_processor_state() and restore_processor_state() are moved into machine_kexec() and ftrace is restored after restore_processor_state().

kexec jump: rename KEXEC_CONTROL_CODE_SIZE to KEXEC_CONTROL_PAGE_SIZE

2008-08-15T15:35:42Z

Rename KEXEC_CONTROL_CODE_SIZE to KEXEC_CONTROL_PAGE_SIZE, because control page is used for not only code on some platform. For example in kexec jump, it is used for data and stack too.
