[PATCH v10 13/18] arm64: kexec: add expandable argument to relocation function

Pavel Tatashin pasha.tatashin at soleen.com
Mon Jan 25 14:19:18 EST 2021


Currently, kexec relocation function (arm64_relocate_new_kernel) accepts
the following arguments:

head:		start of array that contains relocation information.
entry:		entry point for new kernel or purgatory.
dtb_mem:	first and only argument to entry.

The number of arguments cannot be easily expended, because this
function is also called from HVC_SOFT_RESTART, which preserves only
three arguments (hypervisor abi). And, also arm64_relocate_new_kernel is
written in assembly but called without stack, thus no place to move extra
arguments to free registers.

Soon, we will need to pass more arguments: once we enable MMU we
will need to pass information about page tables.

Add a new struct: kern_reloc_arg, and place it in kexec safe page (i.e
memory that is not overwritten during relocation).
Thus, make arm64_relocate_new_kernel to only take one argument, that
contains all the needed information.

Note:
Another benefit of allowing this function to accept more arguments, is that
kernel can actually accept up to 4 arguments (x0-x3), however currently
only one is used, but if in the future we will need for more (for example,
pass information about when previous kernel exited to have a precise
measurement in time spent in purgatory), we won't be easilty do that
if arm64_relocate_new_kernel can't accept more arguments.
