commit 031495635b4668f94e964e037ca93d0d38bfde58 upstream.
The following patches resulted in deferring crash kernel reservation to
mem_init(), mainly aimed at platforms with DMA memory zones (no IOMMU),
in particular Raspberry Pi 4.
commit 1a8e1cef7603 ("arm64: use both ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32")
commit 8424ecdde7df ("arm64: mm: Set ZONE_DMA size based on devicetree's dma-ranges")
commit 0a30c53573b0 ("arm64: mm: Move reserve_crashkernel() into mem_init()")
commit 2687275a5843 ("arm64: Force NO_BLOCK_MAPPINGS if crashkernel reservation is required")
Above changes introduced boot slowdown due to linear map creation for
all the memory banks with NO_BLOCK_MAPPINGS, see discussion[1]. The proposed
changes restore crash kernel reservation to earlier behavior thus avoids
slow boot, particularly for platforms with IOMMU (no DMA memory zones).
Tested changes to confirm no ~150ms boot slowdown on our SoC with IOMMU
and 8GB memory. Also tested with ZONE_DMA and/or ZONE_DMA32 configs to confirm
no regression to deferring scheme of crash kernel memory reservation.
In both cases successfully collected kernel crash dump.
