Is it possible to detect the existence of the symbol
'linear_mapping_va_to_pa' or 'linear_mapping_pa_to_va' to decide reading
the value of 'va_kernel_pa_offset'? For example:
kernel_symbol_exists()/symbol_exists()
if (kernel_symbol_exists("linear_mapping_va_to_pa") ||
kernel_symbol_exists("linear_mapping_pa_to_va")) {
string = pc->read_vmcoreinfo("NUMBER(va_kernel_pa_offset)");
...
}
The `linear_mapping_va_to_pa` and `linear_mapping_pa_to_va` symbols will
only be exported when the debug option -- CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is
enabled, otherwise they will expanded as macros. As the kernel Makefile
That is really problematic. If so, I tend to read the vmcoreinfo directly
as below. I haven't tested it , just an idea.
string = pc->read_vmcoreinfo("NUMBER(va_kernel_pa_offset)");
if (string) {
ms->va_kernel_pa_offset = htol(string, QUIET, NULL);
free(string);
if (CRASHDEBUG(1))
fprintf(fp, "NUMBER(va_kernel_pa_offset): %lx\n",
ms->va_kernel_pa_offset);
} else
ms->va_kernel_pa_offset = ms->kernel_link_addr - ms->phys_base;
But that depends on how you and Kazu think about it.
I was also thinking about a similar way like this:
if ((string = pc->read_vmcoreinfo(...
ms->va_kernel_pa_offset = ...
else if (kernel_vesrion >= LINUX(6,4,0))
error()
else
ms->va_kernel_pa_offset = ...

to be backported to an old kernel, so the current patch is also fine to
me. We can fix it when needed. I'd defer to riscv folks here.
I agree.
Additionally, this commit (riscv: Use PUD/P4D/PGD pages for the linear
mapping) was blamed for and fixed by a number of well-known problems
(such as hibernation, UEFI boot, etc.), so IMO, it's hard to backport it
to an older kernel.
Thanks,

obj-$(CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL) += physaddr.o
Actually, it's hard to extract some explicit infomation from the commit
3335068f8721 and use them as the first `if` condition, so the kernel
version checking was the final choice.
The kernel version checking is not very good, although it has some similar
code in crash-utility. Once the related kernel code is backported to the
old kernel(such as a stable branch), crash won't work well on these vmcore.
As you mentioned, the kernel version checking is the last resort if there
is no better way.
Thanks.

I saw the commit 3335068f8721 exported two symbols:
+phys_addr_t linear_mapping_va_to_pa(unsigned long x)
+{
+ BUG_ON(!kernel_map.va_pa_offset);
+
+ return ((unsigned long)(x) - kernel_map.va_pa_offset);
+}
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(linear_mapping_va_to_pa);
+
+void *linear_mapping_pa_to_va(unsigned long x)
+{
+ BUG_ON(!kernel_map.va_pa_offset);
+
+ return ((void *)((unsigned long)(x) + kernel_map.va_pa_offset));
+}
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(linear_mapping_pa_to_va);
