[PATCH] arm64: kdump: retain reserved memory regions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is a fix against the issue that crash dump kernel may hang up
during booting, which can happen on any ACPI-based system with "ACPI
Reclaim Memory."

	Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
	Rebooting in 10 seconds..

(diagnosis)
* This fault is a data abort, alignment fault (ESR=0x96000021)
  during reading out ACPI table.
* Initial ACPI tables are normally stored in system ram and marked as
  "ACPI Reclaim memory" by the firmware.
* After the commit f56ab9a5b73c ("efi/arm: Don't mark ACPI reclaim
  memory as MEMBLOCK_NOMAP"), those regions' attribute were changed
  removing NOMAP bit and they are instead "memblock-reserved".
* When crash dump kernel boots up, it tries to accesses ACPI tables by
  ioremap'ing them (through acpi_os_ioremap()).
* Since those regions are not included in device tree's
  "usable-memory-range" and so not recognized as part of crash dump
  kernel's system ram, ioremap() will create a non-cacheable mapping here.
* ACPI accessor/helper functions are compiled in without unaligned access
  support (ACPI_MISALIGNMENT_NOT_SUPPORTED), eventually ending up a fatal
  panic when accessing ACPI tables.

With this patch, all the reserved memory regions, as well as NOMAP-
attributed ones which are presumably ACPI runtime code and data, are set
to be retained in system ram even if they are outside of usable memory
range specified by device tree blob. Accordingly, ACPI tables are mapped
as cacheable and can be safely accessed without causing unaligned access
faults.
