[PATCH v33 06/14] arm64: kdump: protect crash dump kernel memory

Wed Mar 15 02:59:35 PDT 2017


arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() and arch_kexec_unprotect_crashkres()
are meant to be called by kexec_load() in order to protect the memory
allocated for crash dump kernel once the image is loaded.

The protection is implemented by unmapping the relevant segments in crash
dump kernel memory, rather than making it read-only as other archs do,
to prevent any corruption due to potential cache alias (with different
attributes) problem.

Page-level mappings are consistently used here so that we can change
the attributes of segments in page granularity as well as shrink the region
also in page granularity through /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size and putting
the freed memory back to buddy system.
