Subject: crash: move a few code bits to setup support of crash hotplug
Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2023 17:44:39 -0400
Patch series "crash: Kernel handling of CPU and memory hot un/plug", v28.
Once the kdump service is loaded, if changes to CPUs or memory occur,
either by hot un/plug or off/onlining, the crash elfcorehdr must also be
updated.
The elfcorehdr describes to kdump the CPUs and memory in the system, and
any inaccuracies can result in a vmcore with missing CPU context or memory
regions.
The current solution utilizes udev to initiate an unload-then-reload of
the kdump image (eg. kernel, initrd, boot_params, purgatory and
elfcorehdr) by the userspace kexec utility. In the original post I
outlined the significant performance problems related to offloading this
activity to userspace.
This patchset introduces a generic crash handler that registers with the
CPU and memory notifiers. Upon CPU or memory changes, from either hot
un/plug or off/onlining, this generic handler is invoked and performs
important housekeeping, for example obtaining the appropriate lock, and
then invokes an architecture specific handler to do the appropriate
elfcorehdr update.
Note the description in patch 'crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers()
to for_each_possible_cpu()' and 'x86/crash: optimize CPU changes' that
enables further optimizations related to CPU plug/unplug/online/offline
performance of elfcorehdr updates.
In the case of x86_64, the arch specific handler generates a new
elfcorehdr, and overwrites the old one in memory; thus no involvement with
userspace needed.
To realize the benefits/test this patchset, one must make a couple
of minor changes to userspace:
- Prevent udev from updating kdump crash kernel on hot un/plug changes.
Add the following as the first lines to the RHEL udev rule file
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules:
# The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes
SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
With this changeset applied, the two rules evaluate to false for
CPU and memory change events and thus skip the userspace
unload-then-reload of kdump.
- Change to the kexec_file_load for loading the kdump kernel:
Eg. on RHEL: in /usr/bin/kdumpctl, change to:
standard_kexec_args="-p -d -s"
which adds the -s to select kexec_file_load() syscall.
This kernel patchset also supports kexec_load() with a modified kexec
userspace utility. A working changeset to the kexec userspace utility is
posted to the kexec-tools mailing list here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2023-May/027049.html
To use the kexec-tools patch, apply, build and install kexec-tools, then
change the kdumpctl's standard_kexec_args to replace the -s with
--hotplug. The removal of -s reverts to the kexec_load syscall and the
addition of --hotplug invokes the changes put forth in the kexec-tools
patch.
This patch (of 8):
The crash hotplug support leans on the work for the kexec_file_load()
syscall. To also support the kexec_load() syscall, a few bits of code
need to be move outside of CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE. As such, these bits are
moved out of kexec_file.c and into a common location crash_core.c.
In addition, struct crash_mem and crash_notes were moved to new locales so
that PROC_KCORE, which sets CRASH_CORE alone, builds correctly.
No functionality change intended.
