[PATCH 0/9] x86/kexec: Fixes for tip/x86/boot

[David Woodhouse]

Fix a few bugs introduced by the recent rework of the relocate_kernel()
code, and one which has been there in the kjump code from the beginning.

 • Global read-only TLB entries made relocate_kernel() crash when writing
   to its own page after the %cr3 switch should have made it writeable.
 • The preserve_context flag was lost when invoking swap_pages on the way
   back, causing pages not to be swapped.
 • The wrong page was being used as the swap page.
 • The ABI for the kjump call asks the callee to put its entry address for
   next time at %rsp+8 before returning, but we set %rsp to the top of the
   available page, such that the entry address is at the start of some
   other page.
 • The relocate_kernel() function lacked Clang CFI information, but is now
   called via a function pointer, leading to a crash¹.
 • The relocate_kernel() code and data could end up being linked into the
   wrong place for a LTO / -ffunction-sections build.

Thanks to Nathan for reporting many of the above.

Also a few minor cleanups, including a comments-only patch from Rafael 
on the suspend-like part of kjump as a prelude to actually cleaning that 
up.

¹ Fixed by just adding __nocfi. Actually providing the CFI information 
for relocate_kernel() will need a bit more work, so let's just do the 
simple fix for now.

David Woodhouse (7):
      x86/kexec: Disable global pages before writing to control page
      x86/kexec: Ensure preserve_context flag is set on return to kernel
      x86/kexec: Use correct swap page in swap_pages function
      x86/kexec: Fix stack and handling of re-entry point for ::preserve_context
      x86/kexec: Mark machine_kexec() with __nocfi
      x86/kexec: Cope with relocate_kernel() not being at the start of the page
      x86/kexec: Use typedef for relocate_kernel_fn function prototype
