Indeed, the first check 'base < memblock_start_of_DRAM()' in the
following check fails:
if (WARN(base < memblock_start_of_DRAM() ||
base + size > memblock_start_of_DRAM() +
linear_region_size,
Here are the values I am seeing on this board using the kernel and
kexec-tools which have been modified to append the
'linux,usable-memory-range' with the acpi reclaim regions:
base=fe70000,
size=13c0000,
memblock_start_of_DRAM=39620000
linear_region_size=800000000000
I suspect that the holes introduced by kexec-tools inside
'arm64_load_other_segments()' in 'kexec/arch/arm64/kexec-arm64.c' (see
the code leg below):
/* Put the other segments after the image. */
hole_min = image_base + arm64_mem.image_size;
if (info->kexec_flags & KEXEC_ON_CRASH)
hole_max = crash_reserved_mem.end;
else
hole_max = ULONG_MAX;
should be updated to introduce appropriate handling of the acpi reclaim regions.
I am not aware of the background of this handling in the kexec-tools.
Do you think this can be at fault, Akashi?
