Subject: x86/crash: add x86 crash hotplug support
Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2023 17:03:56 -0400
When CPU or memory is hot un/plugged, or off/onlined, the crash
elfcorehdr, which describes the CPUs and memory in the system, must also
be updated.
A new elfcorehdr is generated from the available CPUs and memory and
replaces the existing elfcorehdr. The segment containing the elfcorehdr
is identified at run-time in crash_core:crash_handle_hotplug_event().
No modifications to purgatory (see 'kexec: exclude elfcorehdr from the
segment digest') or boot_params (as the elfcorehdr= capture kernel command
line parameter pointer remains unchanged and correct) are needed, just
elfcorehdr.
For kexec_file_load(), the elfcorehdr segment size is based on NR_CPUS and
CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES in order to accommodate a growing number of CPU
and memory resources.
For kexec_load(), the userspace kexec utility needs to size the elfcorehdr
segment in the same/similar manner.
To accommodate kexec_load() syscall in the absence of kexec_file_load()
syscall support, prepare_elf_headers() and dependents are moved outside of
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE.
