> -
> -This v2 version simplifies the copy out of the kimage_voffset value
> -to user-space per Oleg's suggestion.
> -
> -Upstream status: N/A
> -
> -Test: v2 version tested successfully with a modified crash utility
> -
> -The following Linux 4.6 commit breaks support for live system
> -crash analysis on ARM64:
> -
> -   commit a7f8de168ace487fa7b88cb154e413cf40e87fc6
> -   Author: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx>
> -   arm64: allow kernel Image to be loaded anywhere in physical memory
> -
> -The patchset drastically modified the kernel's virtual memory layout,
> -where notably the static kernel text and data image was moved from the
> -unity mapped region into the vmalloc region.  Prior to Linux 4.6,
> -the kernel's __virt_to_phys() function was this:
> -
> - #define __virt_to_phys(x)  (((phys_addr_t)(x) - PAGE_OFFSET + PHYS_OFFSET))
> -
> -When running on a live system, the crash utility could determine PAGE_OFFSET
> -by looking at the virtual addresses compiled into the vmlinux file, and
> -PHYS_OFFSET can be determined by looking at /proc/iomem.
> -
> -As of Linux 4.6, it is done differently:
> -
> - #define __virt_to_phys(x) ({                                            \
> -        phys_addr_t __x = (phys_addr_t)(x);                             \
> -        __x & BIT(VA_BITS - 1) ? (__x & ~PAGE_OFFSET) + PHYS_OFFSET :   \
> -                                 (__x - kimage_voffset); })
> -
> -The PAGE_OFFSET/PHYS_OFFSET section of the conditional expression is for
> -traditional unity-mapped virtual addresses, but kernel text and static
> -data requires the new "kimage_voffset" variable.  Unfortunately, the
> -contents of the new "kimage_voffset" variable is not available or
> -calculatable from a user-space perspective, even with root privileges.
> -
> -At least the ARM64 developers made its contents available to modules
> -with an EXPORT_SYMBOL(kimage_voffset) declaration.  Accordingly, with
> -a modification to the /dev/crash driver to return its contents, the
> -crash utility can run on a live system.
> -
> -The patch allows for architecture-specific DEV_CRASH_ARCH_DATA ioctls
> -to be created, where this is the first instance of one.
