kexec: split crashkernel reservation code out from crash_core.c
Patch series "Split crash out from kexec and clean up related config items", v3. Motivation: ============= Previously, LKP reported a building error. When investigating, it can't be resolved reasonablly with the present messy kdump config items. https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202312182200.Ka7MzifQ-lkp@intel.com/ The kdump (crash dumping) related config items could causes confusions: Firstly, CRASH_CORE enables codes including - crashkernel reservation; - elfcorehdr updating; - vmcoreinfo exporting; - crash hotplug handling; Now fadump of powerpc, kcore dynamic debugging and kdump all selects CRASH_CORE, while fadump - fadump needs crashkernel parsing, vmcoreinfo exporting, and accessing global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr'; - kcore only needs vmcoreinfo exporting; - kdump needs all of the current kernel/crash_core.c. So only enabling PROC_CORE or FA_DUMP will enable CRASH_CORE, this mislead people that we enable crash dumping, actual it's not. Secondly, It's not reasonable to allow KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE. Because KEXEC_CORE enables codes which allocate control pages, copy kexec/kdump segments, and prepare for switching. These codes are shared by both kexec reboot and kdump. We could want kexec reboot, but disable kdump. In that case, CRASH_CORE should not be selected. -------------------- CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y --------------------- Thirdly, It's not reasonable to allow CRASH_DUMP select KEXEC_CORE. That could make KEXEC_CORE, CRASH_DUMP are enabled independently from KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE. However, w/o KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE, the KEXEC_CORE code built in doesn't make any sense because no kernel loading or switching will happen to utilize the KEXEC_CORE code. --------------------- CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y --------------------- In this case, what is worse, on arch sh and arm, KEXEC relies on MMU, while CRASH_DUMP can still be enabled when !MMU, then compiling error is seen as the lkp test robot reported in above link. ------arch/sh/Kconfig------ config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC def_bool MMU config ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP def_bool BROKEN_ON_SMP --------------------------- Changes: =========== 1, split out crash_reserve.c from crash_core.c; 2, split out vmcore_infoc. from crash_core.c; 3, move crash related codes in kexec_core.c into crash_core.c; 4, remove dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP; 5, clean up kdump related config items; 6, wrap up crash codes in crash related ifdefs on all 8 arch-es which support crash dumping, except of ppc; Achievement: =========== With above changes, I can rearrange the config item logic as below (the right item depends on or is selected by the left item): PROC_KCORE -----------> VMCORE_INFO |----------> VMCORE_INFO FA_DUMP----| |----------> CRASH_RESERVE ---->VMCORE_INFO / |---->CRASH_RESERVE KEXEC --| /| |--> KEXEC_CORE--> CRASH_DUMP-->/-|---->PROC_VMCORE KEXEC_FILE --| \ | \---->CRASH_HOTPLUG KEXEC --| |--> KEXEC_CORE (for kexec reboot only) KEXEC_FILE --| Test ======== On all 8 architectures, including x86_64, arm64, s390x, sh, arm, mips, riscv, loongarch, I did below three cases of config item setting and building all passed. Take configs on x86_64 as exampmle here: (1) Both CONFIG_KEXEC and KEXEC_FILE is unset, then all kexec/kdump items are unset automatically: # Kexec and crash features # CONFIG_KEXEC is not set # CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is not set # end of Kexec and crash features (2) set CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE and 'make olddefconfig': --------------- # Kexec and crash features CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE=y CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO=y CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG=y CONFIG_CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES=8192 # end of Kexec and crash features --------------- (3) unset CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP in case 2 and execute 'make olddefconfig': ------------------------ # Kexec and crash features CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y # end of Kexec and crash features ------------------------ Note: For ppc, it needs investigation to make clear how to split out crash code in arch folder. Hope Hari and Pingfan can help have a look, see if it's doable. Now, I make it either have both kexec and crash enabled, or disable both of them altogether. This patch (of 14): Both kdump and fa_dump of ppc rely on crashkernel reservation. Move the relevant codes into separate files: crash_reserve.c, include/linux/crash_reserve.h. And also add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling of the codes. And update config items which has relationship with crashkernel reservation. And also change ifdeffery from CONFIG_CRASH_CORE to CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE when those scopes are only crashkernel reservation related. And also rename arch/XXX/include/asm/{crash_core.h => crash_reserve.h} on arm64, x86 and risc-v because those architectures' crash_core.h is only related to crashkernel reservation.
