[PATCH v3 0/2] arm64: kdump: Function supplement and performance optimization

[Zhen Lei]

v2 --> v3:
1. Discard patch 3 in v2, a cleanup patch.

v1 --> v2:
1. Update the commit message of Patch 1, explicitly indicates that "crashkernel=X,high"
   is specified but "crashkernel=Y,low" is not specified.
2. Drop Patch 4-5. Currently, focus on function integrity, performance optimization
   will be considered in later versions.
3. Patch 3 is not mandatory, it's just a cleanup now, although it is a must for patch 4-5.
   But to avoid subsequent duplication of effort, I'm glad it was accepted.


v1:
After the basic functions of "support reserving crashkernel above 4G on arm64
kdump"(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/5/6/428) are implemented, we still have
three features to be improved.
1. When crashkernel=X,high is specified but crashkernel=Y,low is not specified,
   the default crash low memory size is provided.
2. For crashkernel=X without '@offset', if the low memory fails to be allocated,
   fall back to reserve region from high memory(above DMA zones).
3. If crashkernel=X,high is used, page mapping is performed only for the crash
   high memory, and block mapping is still used for other linear address spaces.
   Compared to the previous version:
   (1) For crashkernel=X[@offset], the memory above 4G is not changed to block
       mapping, leave it to the next time.
   (2) The implementation method is modified. Now the implementation is simpler
       and clearer.

  arm64: kdump: Provide default size when crashkernel=Y,low is not
    specified
  arm64: kdump: Support crashkernel=X fall back to reserve region above
    DMA zones
