kexec: add machine_kexec_post_load()

2020-01-08T16:32:55Z

It is the same as machine_kexec_prepare(), but is called after segments are loaded. This way, can do processing work with already loaded relocation segments. One such example is arm64: it has to have segments loaded in order to create a page table, but it cannot do it during kexec time, because at that time allocations won't be possible anymore.

kexec: quiet down kexec reboot

2020-01-08T16:32:55Z

Here is a regular kexec command sequence and output: ===== $ kexec --reuse-cmdline -i --load Image $ kexec -e [ 161.342002] kexec_core: Starting new kernel Welcome to Buildroot buildroot login: ===== Even when "quiet" kernel parameter is specified, "kexec_core: Starting new kernel" is printed. This message has KERN_EMERG level, but there is no emergency, it is a normal kexec operation, so quiet it down to appropriate KERN_NOTICE. Machines that have slow console baud rate benefit from less output. Signed-off-by: Pavel Tatashin Reviewed-by: Simon Horman Acked-by: Dave Young Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

kexec: bail out upon SIGKILL when allocating memory.

2019-09-26T00:51:40Z

syzbot found that a thread can stall for minutes inside kexec_load() after that thread was killed by SIGKILL [1]. It turned out that the reproducer was trying to allocate 2408MB of memory using kimage_alloc_page() from kimage_load_normal_segment(). Let's check for SIGKILL before doing memory allocation.

power/suspend: Add function to disable secondaries for suspend

2019-05-03T17:42:41Z

This adds a function to disable secondary CPUs for suspend that are not necessarily non-zero / non-boot CPUs. Platforms will be able to use this to suspend using non-zero CPUs.

mm: convert totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages variables to atomic

2018-12-28T20:11:47Z

totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function. Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating things. It was discussed in length here, https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

mm: reference totalram_pages and managed_pages once per function

2018-12-28T20:11:47Z

Patch series "mm: convert totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and managed pages to atomic", v5. This series converts totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages to atomic variables. totalram_pages, zone->managed_pages and totalhigh_pages updates are protected by managed_page_count_lock, but readers never care about it. Convert these variables to atomic to avoid readers potentially seeing a store tear. Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating things. It was discussed in length here, https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 It seemes better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic. With the change, preventing poteintial store-to-read tearing comes as a bonus. This patch (of 4): This is in preparation to a later patch which converts totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages to atomic variables. Please note that re-reading the value might lead to a different value and as such it could lead to unexpected behavior. There are no known bugs as a result of the current code but it is better to prevent from them in principle.

kexec: Allocate decrypted control pages for kdump if SME is enabled

2018-10-06T10:01:51Z

When SME is enabled in the first kernel, it needs to allocate decrypted pages for kdump because when the kdump kernel boots, these pages need to be accessed decrypted in the initial boot stage, before SME is enabled.

kexec: yield to scheduler when loading kimage segments

2018-06-14T22:55:24Z

Without yielding while loading kimage segments, a large initrd will block all other work on the CPU performing the load until it is completed. For example loading an initrd of 200MB on a low power single core system will lock up the system for a few seconds. To increase system responsiveness to other tasks at that time, call cond_resched() in both the crash kernel and normal kernel segment loading loops. I did run into a practical problem. Hardware watchdogs on embedded systems can have short timers on the order of seconds. If the system is locked up for a few seconds with only a single core available, the watchdog may not be pet in a timely fashion. If this happens, the hardware watchdog will fire and reset the system. This really only becomes a problem when you are working with a single core, a decently sized initrd, and have a constrained hardware watchdog.

x86/mm, kexec: Allow kexec to be used with SME

2017-07-18T09:38:04Z

Provide support so that kexec can be used to boot a kernel when SME is enabled. Support is needed to allocate pages for kexec without encryption. This is needed in order to be able to reboot in the kernel in the same manner as originally booted. Additionally, when shutting down all of the CPUs we need to be sure to flush the caches and then halt. This is needed when booting from a state where SME was not active into a state where SME is active (or vice-versa). Without these steps, it is possible for cache lines to exist for the same physical location but tagged both with and without the encryption bit. This can cause random memory corruption when caches are flushed depending on which cacheline is written last.
