Since commit 23c85094fe ("proc/kcore: add vmcoreinfo note to /proc/kcore")
the kernel has exported the vmcoreinfo PT_NOTE on /proc/kcore as well
as /proc/vmcore.
arm64 only exposes it's additional arch information via
arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() if built with CONFIG_KEXEC, as kdump was
previously the only user of vmcoreinfo.
Move this weak function to a separate file that is built at the same
time as its caller in kernel/crash_core.c. This ensures values like
'kimage_voffset' are always present in the vmcoreinfo PT_NOTE.

Include KASLR offset in arm64 VMCOREINFO ELF notes to assist in
debugging. vmcore parsing in user-space already expects this value in
the notes and we are providing it for portability of those existing
tools with x86.
Ideally we would like core code to do this (so that way this
information won't be missed when an architecture adds KASLR support),
but mips has CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE, and doesn't provide kaslr_offset(),
so I am not sure if this is needed for mips (and other such similar arch
cases in future). So, lets keep this architecture specific for now.
As an example of a user-space use-case, consider the
makedumpfile user-space utility which will need fixup to use this
KASLR offset to work with cases where we need to find a way to
translate symbol address from vmlinux to kernel run time address
in case of KASLR boot on arm64.
I have already submitted the makedumpfile user-space patch upstream
and the maintainer has suggested to wait for the kernel changes to be
included (see [0]).
I tested this on my qualcomm amberwing board both for KASLR and
non-KASLR boot cases:
Without this patch:
# cat > scrub.conf << EOF
[vmlinux]
erase jiffies
erase init_task.utime
for tsk in init_task.tasks.next within task_struct:tasks
erase tsk.utime
endfor
EOF

After this patch check_release() is ok, and also we are able to erase
symbol from vmcore (I checked this with kernel 4.18.0-rc4+):

Currently machine_kexec() doesn't reset to EL2 in the case of a
crashdump kernel. This leaves potentially dodgy state active at EL2, and
means that if the crashdump kernel attempts to online secondary CPUs,
these will be booted as mismatched ELs.
Let's reset to EL2, as we do in all other cases, and simplify things. If
EL2 state is corrupt, things are already sufficiently bad that kdump is
unlikely to work, and it's best-effort regardless.

There are a few places where we want to mask all exceptions. Today we
do this in a piecemeal fashion, typically we expect the caller to
have masked irqs and the arch code masks debug exceptions, ignoring
serror which is probably masked.
Make it clear that 'mask all exceptions' is the intention by adding
helpers to do exactly that.
This will let us unmask SError without having to add 'oh and SError'
to these paths.

Commit 0ee5941 : (x86/panic: replace smp_send_stop() with kdump friendly
version in panic path) introduced crash_smp_send_stop() which is a weak
function and can be overridden by architecture codes to fix the side effect
caused by commit f06e515 : (kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_
notifiers" option).
ARM64 architecture uses the weak version function and the problem is that
the weak function simply calls smp_send_stop() which makes other CPUs
offline and takes away the chance to save crash information for nonpanic
CPUs in machine_crash_shutdown() when crash_kexec_post_notifiers kernel
option is enabled.
Calling smp_send_crash_stop() in machine_crash_shutdown() is useless
because all nonpanic CPUs are already offline by smp_send_stop() in this
case and smp_send_crash_stop() only works against online CPUs.
The result is that secondary CPUs registers are not saved by
crash_save_cpu() and the vmcore file misreports these CPUs as being
offline.
crash_smp_send_stop() is implemented to fix this problem by replacing the
existing smp_send_crash_stop() and adding a check for multiple calling to
the function. The function (strong symbol version) saves crash information
for nonpanic CPUs and machine_crash_shutdown() tries to save crash
information for nonpanic CPUs only when crash_kexec_post_notifiers kernel
option is disabled.
* crash_kexec_post_notifiers : false

* crash_kexec_post_notifiers : true

crash_smp_send_stop() <= just return.

In addition to common VMCOREINFO's defined in
crash_save_vmcoreinfo_init(), we need to know, for crash utility,
- kimage_voffset
- PHYS_OFFSET
to examine the contents of a dump file (/proc/vmcore) correctly
due to the introduction of KASLR (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE) in v4.6.
- VA_BITS
is also required for makedumpfile command.
arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() appends them to the dump file.
More VMCOREINFO's may be added later.

Primary kernel calls machine_crash_shutdown() to shut down non-boot cpus
and save registers' status in per-cpu ELF notes before starting crash
dump kernel. See kernel_kexec().
Even if not all secondary cpus have shut down, we do kdump anyway.
As we don't have to make non-boot(crashed) cpus offline (to preserve
correct status of cpus at crash dump) before shutting down, this patch
also adds a variant of smp_send_stop().

Since arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() removes a mapping for crash dump
kernel image, the loaded data won't be preserved around hibernation.
In this patch, helper functions, crash_prepare_suspend()/
crash_post_resume(), are additionally called before/after hibernation so
that the relevant memory segments will be mapped again and preserved just
as the others are.
In addition, to minimize the size of hibernation image, crash_is_nosave()
is added to pfn_is_nosave() in order to recognize only the pages that hold
loaded crash dump kernel image as saveable. Hibernation excludes any pages
that are marked as Reserved and yet "nosave."

arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() and arch_kexec_unprotect_crashkres()
are meant to be called by kexec_load() in order to protect the memory
allocated for crash dump kernel once the image is loaded.
The protection is implemented by unmapping the relevant segments in crash
dump kernel memory, rather than making it read-only as other archs do,
to prevent coherency issues due to potential cache aliasing (with
mismatched attributes).
Page-level mappings are consistently used here so that we can change
the attributes of segments in page granularity as well as shrink the region
also in page granularity through /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size, putting
the freed memory back to buddy system.
