[PATCH v12 13/16] arm64: kdump: add kdump support

From: AKASHI Takahiro <takahiro.akashi at linaro.org>
On crash dump kernel, all the information about primary kernel's core
image is available in elf core header specified by "elfcorehdr=" boot
parameter. reserve_elfcorehdr() will set aside the region to avoid any
corruption by crash dump kernel.
Crash dump kernel will access the system memory of primary kernel via
copy_oldmem_page(), which reads one page by ioremap'ing it since it does
not reside in linear mapping on crash dump kernel.
Please note that we should add "mem=X[MG]" boot parameter to limit the
memory size and avoid the following assertion at ioremap():
if (WARN_ON(pfn_valid(__phys_to_pfn(phys_addr))))
return NULL;
when accessing any pages beyond the usable memories of crash dump kernel.
We also need our own elfcorehdr_read() here since the weak definition of
elfcorehdr_read() utilizes copy_oldmem_page() and will hit the assertion
above on arm64.
