powerpc/fadump: Do not allow hot-remove memory from fadump reserved area.

2018-12-21T00:32:49Z

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 manually stopping fadump service before hot-remove operation. Signed-off-by: Mahesh Salgaonkar Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

fadump fails to register when there are holes in reserved memory area. This can happen if user has hot-removed a memory that falls in the fadump reserved memory area. Throw a meaningful error message to the user in such case. Signed-off-by: Mahesh Salgaonkar [mpe: is_reserved_memory_area_contiguous() returns bool, unsplit string] Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/fadump: Reservationless firmware assisted dump

2018-12-21T00:32:49Z

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. TODO: - Handle case where CMA reservation spans nodes.

powerpc/fadump: re-register firmware-assisted dump if already registered

2018-09-19T12:08:12Z

Firmware-Assisted Dump (FADump) needs to be registered again after any memory hot add/remove operation to update the crash memory ranges. But 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 events. Spare the userspace of this and let it be taken care of in the kernel space for a simpler interface. Since this change, running 'echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fadump_registered' would result in re-regisering (unregistering and registering) FADump, if it was already registered.

powerpc/fadump: cleanup crash memory ranges support

2018-08-20T10:19:54Z

Commit 1bd6a1c4b80a ("powerpc/fadump: handle crash memory ranges array index overflow") changed crash memory ranges to a dynamic array that is reallocated on-demand with krealloc(). The relevant header for this call was not included. The kernel compiles though. But be cautious and add the header anyway. Also, memory allocation logic in fadump_add_crash_memory() takes care of memory allocation for crash memory ranges in all scenarios. Drop unnecessary memory allocation in fadump_setup_crash_memory_ranges().

powerpc/fadump: merge adjacent memory ranges to reduce PT_LOAD segements

2018-08-10T12:12:34Z

With dynamic memory allocation support for crash memory ranges array, there is no hard limit on the no. of crash memory ranges kernel could export, but program headers count could overflow in the /proc/vmcore ELF file while exporting each memory range as PT_LOAD segment. Reduce the likelihood of a such scenario, by folding adjacent crash memory ranges which minimizes the total number of PT_LOAD segments.

powerpc/fadump: handle crash memory ranges array index overflow

2018-08-10T12:12:34Z

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 142b45a72e22 ("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 systems, registering fadump results in crash or other system failures like below: task: c00007f39a290010 ti: c00000000b738000 task.ti: c00000000b738000 NIP: c000000000047df4 LR: c0000000000f9e58 CTR: c00000000010f180 REGS: c00000000b73b570 TRAP: 0300 Tainted: G L X (4.4.140+) MSR: 8000000000009033 CR: 22004484 XER: 20000000 CFAR: c000000000008500 DAR: 000007a450000000 DSISR: 40000000 SOFTE: 0 ...
