v3 --> v4: 1. Set DEFAULT_CRASH_KERNEL_LOW_SIZE to a fixed 128M. 2. Some lightweight code adjustments based on Catalin Marinas's comments v2 --> v3: 1. Discard patch 3 in v2, a cleanup patch. v1 --> v2: 1. Update the commit message of Patch 1, explicitly indicates that "crashkernel=X,high" is specified but "crashkernel=Y,low" is not specified. 2. Drop Patch 4-5. Currently, focus on function integrity, performance optimization will be considered in later versions. 3. Patch 3 is not mandatory, it's just a cleanup now, although it is a must for patch 4-5. But to avoid subsequent duplication of effort, I'm glad it was accepted. v1: After the basic functions of "support reserving crashkernel above 4G on arm64 kdump"(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/5/6/428) are implemented, we still have three features to be improved. 1. When crashkernel=X,high is specified but crashkernel=Y,low is not specified, the default crash low memory size is provided. 2. For crashkernel=X without '@offset', if the low memory fails to be allocated, fall back to reserve region from high memory(above DMA zones). 3. If crashkernel=X,high is used, page mapping is performed only for the crash high memory, and block mapping is still used for other linear address spaces. Compared to the previous version: (1) For crashkernel=X[@offset], the memory above 4G is not changed to block mapping, leave it to the next time. (2) The implementation method is modified. Now the implementation is simpler and clearer.
