Thanks for your comment in detail.
In fact, these patches are really simple. As the subject mentioned, this patch
[PATCH 2/2] adds the reserved e820 ranges to kdump kernel e820 table, and the
first patch [PATCH 1/2] helps to exactly add the e820(E820_TYPE_RESERVED) type
to kdump kernel e820 table, that is to say, it will filter out some unnecessary
type(E820_TYPE_RAM/E820_TYPE_UNUSABLE/E820_TYPE_RESERVED_KERN).
At present, when we use the kexec to load the kernel image and initramfs(for
example: kexec -s -p xxxx), the latest kernel does not pass the e820 reserved
ranges to the second kernel, which might produce two problems:
The first one is the MMCONFIG issue, although which does not make the system
crash or hang, this issue is still a potential risk, because my test can't
cover all cases due to resource constraints(Machine), and i'm not sure what
it will happen on other machine.
The second issue is that the e820 reserved ranges do not setup in kdump kernel,
which will cause some functions which are related to the e820 reserved ranges
to become invalid. For example:
early_memremap()->
early_memremap_pgprot_adjust()->
memremap_should_map_decrypted()->
e820__get_entry_type()
Please focus on these functions, early_memremap_pgprot_adjust() and memremap_should_map_decrypted().
In the first kernel, these ranges sit in e820 reserved ranges, so the memremap_should_map_decrypted()
will return true, that is to say, the reserved memory is decrypted, then the early_memremap_pgprot_adjust()
will call the pgprot_decrypted() to clear the memory encryption mask.
In the second kernel, because the e820 reserved ranges are not passed to the second kernel, these ranges
don't sit in the e820 reserved ranges, so the the memremap_should_map_decrypted() will return false, that
is to say, the reserved memory is encrypted, and then the early_memremap_pgprot_adjust() will also call the
pgprot_encrypted() to set the memory encryption mask.
Obviously, in the second kernel, the e820 reserved memory is still decrypted, it has gone wrong. So, if
don't fix, kdump won't work when we use the command(kexec -s -p xxx) to load the kernel image and initramfs.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Lianbo
