Subject: x86: kdump: use generic interface to simplify crashkernel reservation code
Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2023 11:31:39 +0800
With the help of newly changed function parse_crashkernel() and generic
reserve_crashkernel_generic(), crashkernel reservation can be simplified
by steps:
1) Add a new header file <asm/crash_core.h>, and define CRASH_ALIGN,
CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX, CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX and
DEFAULT_CRASH_KERNEL_LOW_SIZE in <asm/crash_core.h>;
2) Add arch_reserve_crashkernel() to call parse_crashkernel() and
reserve_crashkernel_generic(), and do the ARCH specific work if
needed.
3) Add ARCH_HAS_GENERIC_CRASHKERNEL_RESERVATION Kconfig in
arch/x86/Kconfig.
When adding DEFAULT_CRASH_KERNEL_LOW_SIZE, add crash_low_size_default() to
calculate crashkernel low memory because x86_64 has special requirement.
The old reserve_crashkernel_low() and reserve_crashkernel() can be
removed.
