[PATCH v19 00/13] arm64 kexec kernel patches

[Geoff Levand]

This series adds the core support for kexec re-boot and kdump on ARM64.  This
version of the series combines Takahiro's kdump patches with my kexec patches.
Please consider all patches for inclusion.

Takahiro has done some extensive testing for this version with various
configurations af endian, image format, memory options and layouts, etc.

To load a second stage kernel and execute a kexec re-boot or to work with kdump
on ARM64 systems a series of patches to kexec-tools [2], which have not yet been
merged upstream, are needed.  Please update to the latest if you have been using
an older version.

To examine vmcore (/proc/vmcore), you should use
  - gdb v7.7 or later
  - crash v7.1.1 or later.
    For crash KASLR/CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE support see [3].

Changes for v19 (June 16, 2016, 25m):

  o Rebase to Linux-4.7-rc3.
  o Added more VMCOREINFO's (VA_BITS, PHYS_OFFSET).
  o Remove some unneeded included files.
  o Remove kmap() usage.
  o Remove kexec_is_dtb() routine.
  o Change #ifdef to IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU).
  o Fix kexec_list_flush() to flush all list entries.
  o Use ENTRY(arm64_relocate_new_kernel).
  o Remove unused segment start in arm64_relocate_new_kernel.

Changes for v18 (June 9, 2016, 25m):

  o Rebase to Linux-4.7-rc2.
  o Change ret to br in __cpu_soft_restart().
  o Add cpu_install_idmap() call and hyp checks to cpu_soft_restart().
  o Don't return from HVC_SOFT_RESTART.

Changes for v17 (June 9, 2016, 25m):

  o Rebase to Linux-4.7-rc2.
  o Change ret to br in __cpu_soft_restart().
  o Add cpu_install_idmap() call to cpu_soft_restart().

Changes for v17 (June 3, 2016, 25m):

  o Rebase to Linux-4.7-rc1.
  o Added one VMCOREINFO parameter to vmcore for crash utility.
  o Added a check for CPUs stuck in kernel.
  o Re-implemented cpu_soft_restart() to be executed only in hyp-stub.
  o Added some kernel documentation about added device tree properties.
  o Fixed a returned value of pstate in crash_setup_regs(). Now return
    a faked pstate since we have no way to get the current pstate.

Changes for v16 (Apr 14, 2016, 23m):

  o Rebase to Linux-4.6-rc3.
  o Don't try to explicitly enter EL2 at machine_kexec() when VHE in use
  o Add unreachable() in case of ipi_cpu_crash_stop()

  o Fix a build error around ipi_cpu_crash_stop() when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
  o Revert "arm64: Add new hcall HVC_CALL_FUNC"
  o Revert "Convert hcalls to use HVC immediate value"
    (replaced by James' "hyp/kvm: Extend hyp-stub API to allow function calls
     at EL2")

  Modified by James:
  o Add missing icache maintenance + isb to __kvm_hyp_reset()
  o Rework kvm cpu hotplug for VHE

  Added by James:
  o arm64: head.S: el2_setup() to accept sctlr_el1 as an argument
  o arm64: hyp/kvm: Extend hyp-stub API to allow function calls at EL2
  o arm64: kvm: Move lr save/restore from do_el2_call into EL1
  o arm64: kvm: Move the do_el2_call macro to a header file

Changes for v15 (Mar 14, 2016, 22m):

  o Rebase to Linux-4.5.
  o Remove DEBUG conditional in 'Add pr_debug output'.

Changes for v14 (Mar 4, 2016, 22m):

  o Rebase to Linux-4.5-rc6.
  o Rename setup_mm_for_reboot to cpu_install_idmap.
  o kdump: leave non-boot cpus online at crash dump
    As we don't have to make non-boot (crashed) cpus offline at crash dump,
    this patch adds a variant of smp_send_stop().
  o kdump: use a new device-tree property, "linux,elfcorehdr", instead of
    traditional "elfcorehdr=" kernel parameter
  o limit memory regions based on DT property, "usable-memory", instead of
    "mem=" kernel parameter
  o kdump: fix a build error when !CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE
  o kvm: use generic kvm_call_hyp() interface instead of kvm_cpu_reset()
  o kvm: initialize only a primary cpu at init_hyp_mode()

Changes for v13 (Jan 15, 2016, 20m):

  o Rebase to Linux-4.4.
  o Remove align directive from cpu_reset.c.
  o Use inline C wrapper for cpu_soft_restart.
  o Revert the new image d-cache flush changes of v10.
  o Add SCTLR cleanup patch.
  o Change pr_devel to pr_debug.
  o Call flush_icache_range() for reboot_code_buffer.
  o Add .ltorg directive to arm64_relocate_new_kernel.
  o Make new asm macro copy_page.
  o Change cache maintenence from inner-shareable to non-shareable.

    - remove some garbage code from kvm_host.h

    - change CONFIG_KEXEC to CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE
    - don't panic on crash kernel alloc failure
      (thanks to Mark Salter, RH)

    - change "boot/non-boot cpu" to "crashing/non-crashing cpu"
    - introduce is_in_crash_kexec() for readability
    - re-introduce machine_kexec_mask_interrupts(), as arch/arm has,
      to discard unexpected interrupts
    - call crash_save_cpu() before making cpus offline to avoid a possible race
      (thanks to Pratyush Anand/Mark Salter, RH)
  o arm64: kdump: update a kernel doc
    - clarify that we support "Image" format as well as vmlinux in kdump.txt
  o arm64: kdump: relax BUG_ON() if more than one cpus are still active
    - change a warning message at the failure of shooting down non-crahsing cpus
