kdump/kexec: calculate note size at compile time

2007-05-08T18:15:07+00:00

Currently the size of the per-cpu region reserved to save crash notes is set by the per-architecture value MAX_NOTE_BYTES. Which in turn is currently set to 1024 on all supported architectures. While testing ia64 I recently discovered that this value is in fact too small. The particular setup I was using actually needs 1172 bytes. This lead to very tedious failure mode where the tail of one elf note would overwrite the head of another if they ended up being alocated sequentially by kmalloc, which was often the case. It seems to me that a far better approach is to caclculate the size that the area needs to be. This patch does just that. If a simpler stop-gap patch for ia64 to be squeezed into 2.6.21(.X) is needed then this should be as easy as making MAX_NOTE_BYTES larger in arch/asm-ia64/kexec.h. Perhaps 2048 would be a good choice. However, I think that the approach in this patch is a much more robust idea.

[S390] Bad kexec control page allocation.

2006-12-04T14:40:28+00:00

KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT is an unsigned long value and therefore should be defined as one. Otherwise the kexec control page can be allocated above 2GB which will cause a specification exception on the sam31 instruction in the s390 kexec relocation code.

[PATCH] Kdump: powerpc and s390 build failure fix

2006-01-10T16:01:27+00:00

) From: Vivek Goyal crash_setup_regs() is an architecture dependent function which is called in architecture independent section. So every architecture supporting kexec should at least provide a dummy definition of crash_setup_regs() even if crash dumping is not implemented yet, to avoid build failures.

[PATCH] kdump: dynamic per cpu allocation of memory for saving cpu registers

2006-01-10T16:01:26+00:00

- In case of system crash, current state of cpu registers is saved in memory in elf note format. So far memory for storing elf notes was being allocated statically for NR_CPUS. - This patch introduces dynamic allocation of memory for storing elf notes. It uses alloc_percpu() interface. This should lead to better memory usage. - Introduced based on Andi Kleen's and Eric W. Biederman's suggestions. - This patch also moves memory allocation for elf notes from architecture dependent portion to architecture independent portion. Now crash_notes is architecture independent. The whole idea is that size of memory to be allocated per cpu (MAX_NOTE_BYTES) can be architecture dependent and allocation of this memory can be architecture independent.

[PATCH] kexec: s390 support

2005-06-25T23:24:51+00:00

Add kexec support for s390 architecture. From: Milton Miller - Fix passing of first argument to relocate_kernel assembly. - Fix Kconfig description. - Remove wrong comment and comments that describe obvious things. - Allow only KEXEC_TYPE_DEFAULT as image type -> dump not supported.
