Saito-san, Thanks for your patch. I think it better to remove __per_cpu_load code, which is unnecessary. ________________________________________ 差出人: kexec <kexec-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> が saito.kazuya@xxxxxxxxxxx <saito.kazuya@xxxxxxxxxxx> の代理で送信 送信日時: 2020年5月21日 16:15 宛先: 'kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' 件名: [PATCH] sadump: Fix failure of reading __per_cpu_load memory Creating vmcore from sadump by makedumpfile fails with the following error messages since kernel-4.19 with PTI (Page Table Isolation) enabled: __vtop4_x86_64: Can't get a valid pte. readmem: Can't convert a virtual address(ffffffffb2986000) to physical address. readmem: type_addr: 0, addr:ffffffffb2986000, size:8 per_cpu_init: Can't read __per_cpu_load memory. This is caused by the following patch: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/c40a56a7818cfe735fc93a69e1875f8bba834483 The above patch clears _PAGE_PRESENT bit of __per_cpu_load memory, so __vtop4_x86_64 fails to convert the virtual address of the __per_cpu_load. To fix this issue, this patch changes sanity check of per_cpu_ptr() to use address of the __per_cpu_load instead of data of the memory.
