commit 140777a3d8 upstream.
Commit 0962e8004e ("powerpc/prom: Scan reserved-ranges node for
memory reservations") enabled support to parse reserved-ranges DT
node and reserve kernel memory falling in these ranges for F/W
purposes. Memory reserved for FADump should not overlap with these
ranges as it could corrupt memory meant for F/W or crash'ed kernel
memory to be exported as vmcore.
But since commit 579ca1a276 ("powerpc/fadump: make use of memblock's
bottom up allocation mode"), memblock_find_in_range() is being used to
find the appropriate area to reserve memory for FADump, which can't
account for reserved-ranges as these ranges are reserved only after
FADump memory reservation.
With reserved-ranges now being populated during early boot, look out
for these memory ranges while reserving memory for FADump. Without
this change, MPIPL on PowerNV systems aborts with hostboot failure,
when memory reserved for FADump is less than 4096MB.

OPAL loads kernel & initrd at 512MB offset (256MB size), also exported
as ibm,opal/dump/fw-load-area. So, if boot memory size of FADump is
less than 768MB, kernel memory to be exported as '/proc/vmcore' would
be overwritten by f/w while loading kernel & initrd. To avoid such a
scenario, enforce a minimum boot memory size of 768MB on OPAL platform
and skip using FADump if a newer F/W version loads kernel & initrd
above 768MB.
Also, irrespective of RMA size, set the minimum boot memory size
expected on pseries platform at 320MB. This is to avoid inflating the

For fadump to work successfully there should not be any holes in reserved
memory ranges where kernel has asked firmware to move the content of old
kernel memory in event of crash. Now that fadump uses CMA for reserved
area, this memory area is now not protected from hot-remove operations
unless it is cma allocated. Hence, fadump service can fail to re-register
after the hot-remove operation, if hot-removed memory belongs to fadump
reserved region. To avoid this make sure that memory from fadump reserved
area is not hot-removable if fadump is registered.
However, if user still wants to remove that memory, he can do so by

Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
One of the primary issues with Firmware Assisted Dump (fadump) on Power
is that it needs a large amount of memory to be reserved. On large
systems with TeraBytes of memory, this reservation can be quite
significant.
In some cases, fadump fails if the memory reserved is insufficient, or
if the reserved memory was DLPAR hot-removed.
In the normal case, post reboot, the preserved memory is filtered to
extract only relevant areas of interest using the makedumpfile tool.
While the tool provides flexibility to determine what needs to be part
of the dump and what memory to filter out, all supported distributions
default this to "Capture only kernel data and nothing else".
We take advantage of this default and the Linux kernel's Contiguous
Memory Allocator (CMA) to fundamentally change the memory reservation
model for fadump.
Instead of setting aside a significant chunk of memory nobody can use,
this patch uses CMA instead, to reserve a significant chunk of memory
that the kernel is prevented from using (due to MIGRATE_CMA), but
applications are free to use it. With this fadump will still be able
to capture all of the kernel memory and most of the user space memory
except the user pages that were present in CMA region.
Essentially, on a P9 LPAR with 2 cores, 8GB RAM and current upstream:
[root@zzxx-yy10 ~]# free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 7557 193 6822 12 541 6725
Swap: 4095 0 4095
With this patch:
[root@zzxx-yy10 ~]# free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 8133 194 7464 12 475 7338
Swap: 4095 0 4095
Changes made here are completely transparent to how fadump has
traditionally worked.
Thanks to Aneesh Kumar and Anshuman Khandual for helping us understand
CMA and its usage.

currently, the kernel returns '-EEXIST' if we try to register without
uregistering it first. This could expose the system to racing issues
while unregistering and registering FADump from userspace during udev

Crash memory ranges is an array of memory ranges of the crashing kernel
to be exported as a dump via /proc/vmcore file. The size of the array
is set based on INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS, which works alright in most cases
where memblock memory regions count is less than INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS
value. But this count can grow beyond INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS value since
commit 142b45a72e ("memblock: Add array resizing support").
On large memory systems with a few DLPAR operations, the memblock memory
regions count could be larger than INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS value. On such

FADump capture kernel boots in restricted memory environment preserving
the context of previous kernel to save vmcore. Supporting hugepages in
such environment makes things unnecessarily complicated, as hugepages
need memory set aside for them. This means most of the capture kernel's
memory is used in supporting hugepages. In most cases, this results in
out-of-memory issues while booting FADump capture kernel. But hugepages
are not of much use in capture kernel whose only job is to save vmcore.
So, disabling hugepages support, when fadump is active, is a reliable
solution for the out of memory issues. Introducing a flag variable to

There are chances where previous kernel would have hot removed some of

There are quite a few machine check exceptions that can be caused by
kernel bugs. To make debugging easier, use the kernel crash path in
cases of synchronous machine checks that occur in kernel mode, if that
would not result in the machine going straight to panic or crash dump.
There is a downside here that die()ing the process in kernel mode can
still leave the system unstable. panic_on_oops will always force the
system to fail-stop, so systems where that behaviour is important will
still do the right thing.
As a test, when triggering an i-side 0111b error (ifetch from foreign
address) in kernel mode process context on POWER9, the kernel currently
dies quickly like this:

If fadump is not registered, and no other crash or debug handlers are
registered, the powerpc panic handler stops the guest before the
generic panic code can push out debug information to the console.
Currently, system reset injection causes the guest to silently stop.
Stop calling ppc_md.panic in the panic notifier. crash_fadump already
does rtas_os_term() to terminate the guest if fadump is registered.
Remove ppc_md.panic. Move fadump panic notifier into fadump code.

vmcoreinfo_max_size stands for the vmcoreinfo_data, the correct one we
should use is vmcoreinfo_note whose total size is VMCOREINFO_NOTE_SIZE.
Like explained in commit 77019967f0 ("kdump: fix exported size of
vmcoreinfo note"), it should not affect the actual function, but we
better fix it, also this change should be safe and backward compatible.
After this, we can get rid of variable vmcoreinfo_max_size, let's use
the corresponding macros directly, fewer variables means more safety for
vmcoreinfo operation.

Around 95% of memory is reserved by fadump/capture kernel. All this
memory is freed, one page at a time, on writing '1' to the node
/sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem. On systems with large memory, this
can take a long time to complete, leading to soft lockup warning
messages. To avoid this, add reschedule points at regular intervals.
Also, while memblock_reserve() implicitly takes care of holes in the
given memory range while reserving memory, those holes need to be
taken care of while releasing memory as memory is freed one page at
a time. Add support to skip holes while releasing memory.

To register fadump, boot memory area - the size of low memory chunk that
is required for a kernel to boot successfully when booted with restricted
memory, is assumed to have no holes. But this memory area is currently
not protected from hot-remove operations. So, fadump could fail to
re-register after a memory hot-remove operation, if memory is removed
from boot memory area. To avoid this, ensure that memory from boot
memory area is not hot-removed when fadump is registered.

fadump sets up crash memory ranges to be used for creating PT_LOAD
program headers in elfcore header. Memory chunk RMA_START through
boot memory area size is added as the first memory range because
firmware, at the time of crash, moves this memory chunk to different
location specified during fadump registration making it necessary to
create a separate program header for it with the correct offset.
This memory chunk is skipped while setting up the remaining memory
ranges. But currently, there is possibility that some of this memory
may have duplicate entries like when it is hot-removed and added
again. Ensure that no two memory ranges represent the same memory.
When 5 lmbs are hot-removed and then hot-plugged before registering
fadump, here is how the program headers in /proc/vmcore exported by
fadump look like

By default, 5% of system RAM is reserved for preserving boot memory.
Alternatively, a user can specify the amount of memory to reserve.
See Documentation/powerpc/firmware-assisted-dump.txt for details. In
addition to the memory reserved for preserving boot memory, some more
memory is reserved, to save HPTE region, CPU state data and ELF core
headers.
Memory Reservation during first kernel looks like below:
Low memory Top of memory
0 boot memory size |
| | |<--Reserved dump area -->|
V V | Permanent Reservation V
+-----------+----------/ /----------+---+----+-----------+----+
| | |CPU|HPTE| DUMP |ELF |
+-----------+----------/ /----------+---+----+-----------+----+
| ^
| |
\ /
-------------------------------------------
Boot memory content gets transferred to
reserved area by firmware at the time of
crash
This implicitly means that the sum of the sizes of boot memory, CPU
state data, HPTE region, DUMP preserving area and ELF core headers
can't be greater than the total memory size. But currently, a user is
allowed to specify any value as boot memory size. So, the above rule
is violated when a boot memory size around 50% of the total available
memory is specified. As the kernel is not handling this currently, it
may lead to undefined behavior. Fix it by setting an upper limit for
boot memory size to 25% of the total available memory. Also, instead
of using memblock_end_of_DRAM(), which doesn't take the holes, if any,
in the memory layout into account, use memblock_phys_mem_size() to
calculate the percentage of total available memory.
