[PATCH v2 6/8] x86: kdump: use generic interface to simplify crashkernel reservation code

Tue Aug 29 05:16:08 PDT 2023


With the help of newly changed function parse_crashkernel() and
generic reserve_crashkernel_generic(), crashkernel reservation can be
simplified by steps:

1) Add a new header file <asm/crash_core.h>, and define CRASH_ALIGN,
   CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX, CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX and
   DEFAULT_CRASH_KERNEL_LOW_SIZE in <asm/crash_core.h>;

2) Add arch_reserve_crashkernel() to call parse_crashkernel() and
   reserve_crashkernel_generic(), and do the ARCH specific work if
   needed.

3) Add ARCH_HAS_GENERIC_CRASHKERNEL_RESERVATION Kconfig in
   arch/x86/Kconfig.

When adding DEFAULT_CRASH_KERNEL_LOW_SIZE, add crash_low_size_default()
to calculate crashkernel low memory because x86_64 has special
requirement.

The old reserve_crashkernel_low() and reserve_crashkernel() can be
removed.
