In this patch, machine_kexec_file.c gains its own private fdt array encoder.

If we need these is it worth taking them out of __initdata? I note they've been
'temporary' for quite a long time.

This stuff should really be in libfdt.h Those macros come from
libfdt_internal.h, so we're probably doing something wrong here.

Using '> U32_MAX' here may be more readable.

Is this trying to clear the 'top' cells and shuffle the pointer to point at the
'bottom' 2? I'm pretty sure this isn't endian safe.
Do we really expect a system to have #address-cells > 2?

(the device-tree spec describes a 'ranges' property, which had me confused. This
is encoding a prop-encoded-array)

virtual memory allocation for something less than PAGE_SIZE?

Doesn't this stuff belong in libfdt? I guess there is no 'add array element' api
because this the first time we've wanted to create a node with more than
key=fixed-size-value.
I don't think this belongs in arch C code. Do we have a plan for getting libfdt
to support encoding prop-arrays? Can we put it somewhere anyone else duplicating
this will find it, until we can (re)move it?
I have no idea how that happens... it looks like the devicetree list is the
place to ask.

To check I've understood this properly: This can happen if the firmware provided
a DTB with 32bit address/size cells, but at least some of the memory requires 64
bit address/size cells. This could only happen on a UEFI system where the
firmware-DTB doesn't describe memory. ACPI-only systems would have the EFIstub DT.

Don't you need to add "linux,usable-memory-range" to the buf_size estimate?

Could this function be included in prepare_elf_headers() so that the alloc() and
free() occur together.

All this is moving memory-range information from core-code's
walk_system_ram_res() into core-code's struct crash_mem, and excluding
crashk_res, which again is accessible to the core code.
It looks like this is duplicated in arch/x86 and arch/arm64 because arm64
doesn't have a second 'crashk_low_res' region, and always wants elf64, instead
of when IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86_64).
If we can abstract just those two, more of this could be moved to core code
where powerpc can make use of it if they want to support kdump with
kexec_file_load().
But, its getting late for cross-architecture dependencies, lets put that on the
for-later list. (assuming there isn't a powerpc-kdump series out there adding a
third copy of this)
Thanks,
James
