This patch series enable reserving crashkernel above 4G in arm64. There are following issues in arm64 kdump: 1. We use crashkernel=X to reserve crashkernel below 4G, which will fail when there is no enough low memory. 2. Currently, crashkernel=Y@X can be used to reserve crashkernel above 4G, in this case, if swiotlb or DMA buffers are required, crash dump kernel will boot failure because there is no low memory available for allocation. To solve these issues, introduce crashkernel=X,low to reserve specified size low memory. Crashkernel=X tries to reserve memory for the crash dump kernel under 4G. If crashkernel=Y,low is specified simultaneously, reserve spcified size low memory for crash kdump kernel devices firstly and then reserve memory above 4G. When crashkernel is reserved above 4G in memory, that is, crashkernel=X,low is specified simultaneously, kernel should reserve specified size low memory for crash dump kernel devices. So there may be two crash kernel regions, one is below 4G, the other is above 4G. In order to distinct from the high region and make no effect to the use of kexec-tools, rename the low region as "Crash kernel (low)", and add DT property "linux,low-memory-range" to crash dump kernel's dtb to pass the low region. Besides, we need to modify kexec-tools: arm64: kdump: add another DT property to crash dump kernel's dtb(see [1]) The previous changes and discussions can be retrieved from: Changes since [v7] - Move x86 CRASH_ALIGN to 2M Suggested by Dave and do some test, move x86 CRASH_ALIGN to 2M. - Update Documentation/devicetree/bindings/chosen.txt Add corresponding documentation to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/chosen.txt suggested by Arnd. - Add Tested-by from Jhon and pk Changes since [v6] - Fix build errors reported by kbuild test robot. Changes since [v5] - Move reserve_crashkernel_low() into kernel/crash_core.c. - Delete crashkernel=X,high. - Modify crashkernel=X,low. If crashkernel=X,low is specified simultaneously, reserve spcified size low memory for crash kdump kernel devices firstly and then reserve memory above 4G. In addition, rename crashk_low_res as "Crash kernel (low)" for arm64, and then pass to crash dump kernel by DT property "linux,low-memory-range". - Update Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst. Changes since [v4] - Reimplement memblock_cap_memory_ranges for multiple ranges by Mike. Changes since [v3] - Add memblock_cap_memory_ranges back for multiple ranges. - Fix some compiling warnings. Changes since [v2] - Split patch "arm64: kdump: support reserving crashkernel above 4G" as two. Put "move reserve_crashkernel_low() into kexec_core.c" in a separate patch. Changes since [v1]: - Move common reserve_crashkernel_low() code into kernel/kexec_core.c. - Remove memblock_cap_memory_ranges() i added in v1 and implement that in fdt_enforce_memory_region(). There are at most two crash kernel regions, for two crash kernel regions case, we cap the memory range [min(regs[*].start), max(regs[*].end)] and then remove the memory range in the middle.
