<title>kexec, KEYS: make the code in bzImage64_verify_sig generic</title>

commit 278311e417be ("kexec, KEYS: Make use of platform keyring for
signature verify") adds platform keyring support on x86 kexec but not
arm64.

The code in bzImage64_verify_sig uses the keys on the
.builtin_trusted_keys, .machine, if configured and enabled,
.secondary_trusted_keys, also if configured, and .platform keyrings
to verify the signed kernel image as PE file.

<content type='text'>
Before commit 105e10e2cf1c ("kexec_file: drop weak attribute from
functions"), there was already no arch-specific implementation
of arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig. With weak attribute dropped by that
commit, arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig is completely useless. So clean it
up.

Note later patches are dependent on this patch so it should be backported
to the stable tree as well.

<content type='text'>
As requested
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/87ee0q7b92.fsf@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org),
this series converts weak functions in kexec to use the #ifdef approach.

Quoting the 3e35142ef99fe ("kexec_file: drop weak attribute from
arch_kexec_apply_relocations[_add]") changelog:

: Since commit d1bcae833b32f1 ("ELF: Don't generate unused section symbols")
: [1], binutils (v2.36+) started dropping section symbols that it thought
: were unused.  This isn't an issue in general, but with kexec_file.c, gcc
: is placing kexec_arch_apply_relocations[_add] into a separate
: .text.unlikely section and the section symbol ".text.unlikely" is being
: dropped.  Due to this, recordmcount is unable to find a non-weak symbol in
: .text.unlikely to generate a relocation record against.

This patch (of 2);

Drop __weak attribute from functions in kexec_file.c:
- arch_kexec_kernel_image_probe()
- arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup()
- arch_kexec_kernel_image_load()
- arch_kexec_locate_mem_hole()
- arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig()

arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() calls into kexec_image_load_default(), so
drop the static attribute for the latter.

arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig() is not overridden by any architecture, so
drop the __weak attribute.

<title>kexec_file: increase maximum file size to 4G</title>

<content type='text'>
In some case initrd can be large.  For example, it could be a netboot
image loaded by u-root, that is kexec'ing into it.

The maximum size of initrd is arbitrary set to 2G.  Also, the limit is not
very obvious because it is hidden behind a generic INT_MAX macro.

Theoretically, we could make it LONG_MAX, but it is safer to keep it sane,
and just increase it to 4G.

Increase the size to 4G, and make it obvious by having a new macro that
specifies the maximum file size supported by kexec_file_load() syscall:
KEXEC_FILE_SIZE_MAX.

Since commit d1bcae833b32f1 ("ELF: Don't generate unused section
symbols") [1], binutils (v2.36+) started dropping section symbols that
it thought were unused.  This isn't an issue in general, but with
kexec_file.c, gcc is placing kexec_arch_apply_relocations[_add] into a
separate .text.unlikely section and the section symbol ".text.unlikely"
is being dropped. Due to this, recordmcount is unable to find a non-weak
symbol in .text.unlikely to generate a relocation record against.

Address this by dropping the weak attribute from these functions.
Instead, follow the existing pattern of having architectures #define the
name of the function they want to override in their headers.

When CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is set for riscv platform, the compilation of
kernel/kexec_file.c generate build error:

This occurs is because the "kernel_map" referenced in macro

defined in arch/riscv/mm/init.c, but the 2nd argument of
crash_prepare_elf64_header() has same symbol name, in expansion of macro
is_linear_mapping in function crash_prepare_elf64_header(), "kernel_map"
actually is the local variable.

<title>memblock: add MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED to mimic IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/linux/commit/?id=f7892d8e288d4b090176f26d9bf7943dbbb639a6'/>
<id>urn:sha1:f7892d8e288d4b090176f26d9bf7943dbbb639a6</id>
<content type='text'>
Let's add a flag that corresponds to IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED,
indicating that we're dealing with a memory region that is never
indicated in the firmware-provided memory map, but always detected and
added by a driver.

Similar to MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG, most infrastructure has to treat such
memory regions like ordinary MEMBLOCK_NONE memory regions -- for
example, when selecting memory regions to add to the vmcore for dumping
in the crashkernel via for_each_mem_range().

However, especially kexec_file is not supposed to select such memblocks
via for_each_free_mem_range() / for_each_free_mem_range_reverse() to
place kexec images, similar to how we handle
IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED without CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK.

We'll make sure that memory hotplug code sets the flag where applicable
(IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED) next.  This prepares architectures
that need CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, such as arm64, for virtio-mem
support.

Note that kexec *must not* indicate this memory to the second kernel and
*must not* place kexec-images on this memory.  Let's add a comment to
kexec_walk_memblock(), documenting how we handle MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED
now just like using IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED in
locate_mem_hole_callback() for kexec_walk_resources().

Also note that MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG cannot be reused due to different
semantics:
	MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG: memory is indicated as "System RAM" in the
	firmware-provided memory map and added to the system early during
	boot; kexec *has to* indicate this memory to the second kernel and
	can place kexec-images on this memory. After memory hotunplug,
	kexec has to be re-armed. We mostly ignore this flag when
	"movable_node" is not set on the kernel command line, because
	then we're told to not care about hotunpluggability of such
	memory regions.

	MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED: memory is not indicated as "System RAM" in
	the firmware-provided memory map; this memory is always detected
	and added to the system by a driver; memory might not actually be
	physically hotunpluggable. kexec *must not* indicate this memory to
	the second kernel and *must not* place kexec-images on this memory.
