For zfcpdump we can't map the HSA storage because it is only available via
a read interface. Therefore, for the new vmcore mmap feature we have
introduce a new mechanism to create mappings on demand.
This patch introduces a new architecture function remap_oldmem_pfn_range()
that should be used to create mappings with remap_pfn_range() for oldmem
areas that can be directly mapped. For zfcpdump this is everything
besides of the HSA memory. For the areas that are not mapped by
remap_oldmem_pfn_range() a generic vmcore a new generic vmcore fault
handler mmap_vmcore_fault() is called.
This handler works as follows:
* Get already available or new page from page cache (find_or_create_page)
* Check if /proc/vmcore page is filled with data (PageUptodate)
* If yes:
Return that page
* If no:
Fill page using __vmcore_read(), set PageUptodate, and return page

For s390 we want to use /proc/vmcore for our SCSI stand-alone dump
(zfcpdump). We have support where the first HSA_SIZE bytes are saved into
a hypervisor owned memory area (HSA) before the kdump kernel is booted.
When the kdump kernel starts, it is restricted to use only HSA_SIZE bytes.
The advantages of this mechanism are:
* No crashkernel memory has to be defined in the old kernel.
* Early boot problems (before kexec_load has been done) can be dumped
* Non-Linux systems can be dumped.
We modify the s390 copy_oldmem_page() function to read from the HSA memory
if memory below HSA_SIZE bytes is requested.
Since we cannot use the kexec tool to load the kernel in this scenario,
we have to build the ELF header in the 2nd (kdump/new) kernel.
So with the following patch set we would like to introduce the new
function that the ELF header for /proc/vmcore can be created in the 2nd
kernel memory.
The following steps are done during zfcpdump execution:
1. Production system crashes
2. User boots a SCSI disk that has been prepared with the zfcpdump tool
3. Hypervisor saves CPU state of boot CPU and HSA_SIZE bytes of memory into HSA
4. Boot loader loads kernel into low memory area
5. Kernel boots and uses only HSA_SIZE bytes of memory
6. Kernel saves registers of non-boot CPUs
7. Kernel does memory detection for dump memory map
8. Kernel creates ELF header for /proc/vmcore
9. /proc/vmcore uses this header for initialization
10. The zfcpdump user space reads /proc/vmcore to write dump to SCSI disk
- copy_oldmem_page() copies from HSA for memory below HSA_SIZE
- copy_oldmem_page() copies from real memory for memory above HSA_SIZE
Currently for s390 we create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel with a
small trick. We relocate the addresses in the ELF header in a way that
for the /proc/vmcore code it seems to be in the 1st kernel (old) memory
and the read_from_oldmem() returns the correct data. This allows the
/proc/vmcore code to use the ELF header in the 2nd kernel.
This patch:
Exchange the old mechanism with the new and much cleaner function call
override feature that now offcially allows to create the ELF core header
in the 2nd kernel.
To use the new feature the following function have to be defined
by the architecture backend code to read from new memory:
* elfcorehdr_alloc: Allocate ELF header
* elfcorehdr_free: Free the memory of the ELF header
* elfcorehdr_read: Read from ELF header
* elfcorehdr_read_notes: Read from ELF notes

The <linux/device.h> header includes a lot of stuff, and
it in turn gets a lot of use just for the basic "struct device"
which appears so often.
Clean up the users as follows:
1) For those headers only needing "struct device" as a pointer
in fcn args, replace the include with exactly that.
2) For headers not really using anything from device.h, simply
delete the include altogether.
3) For headers relying on getting device.h implicitly before
being included themselves, now explicitly include device.h
4) For files in which doing #1 or #2 uncovers an implicit
dependency on some other header, fix by explicitly adding
the required header(s).
Any C files that were implicitly relying on device.h to be
present have already been dealt with in advance.
Total removals from #1 and #2: 51. Total additions coming
from #3: 9. Total other implicit dependencies from #4: 7.
As of 3.3-rc1, there were 110, so a net removal of 42 gives
about a 38% reduction in device.h presence in include/*

Building an ARM target we get the following warnings:

include/linux/crash_dump.h:30:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
Quoting Russell King:
"linux/crash_dump.h makes no attempt to include asm/elf.h, but it depends
on stuff in asm/elf.h to determine how stuff inside this file is defined
at parse time.
So, if asm/elf.h is included after linux/crash_dump.h or not at all, you
get a different result from the situation where asm/elf.h is included
before."
So add elf.h header to crash_dump.h to avoid this problem.

Currently only the address of the pre-allocated ELF header is passed with
the elfcorehdr= kernel parameter. In order to reserve memory for the header
in the 2nd kernel also the size is required. Current kdump architecture
backends use different methods to do that, e.g. x86 uses the memmap= kernel
parameter. On s390 there is no easy way to transfer this information.
Therefore the elfcorehdr kernel parameter is extended to also pass the size.
This now can also be used as standard mechanism by all future kdump
architecture backends.
The syntax of the kernel parameter is extended as follows:
elfcorehdr=[size[KMG]@]offset[KMG]
This change is backward compatible because elfcorehdr=size is still allowed.

The balloon driver in a Xen guest frees guest pages and marks them as
mmio. When the kernel crashes and the crash kernel attempts to read the
oldmem via /proc/vmcore a read from ballooned pages will generate 100%
load in dom0 because Xen asks qemu-dm for the page content. Since the
reads come in as 8byte requests each ballooned page is tried 512 times.
With this change a hook can be registered which checks wether the given
pfn is really ram. The hook has to return a value > 0 for ram pages, a
value < 0 on error (because the hypercall is not known) and 0 for non-ram
pages.
This will reduce the time to read /proc/vmcore. Without this change a
512M guest with 128M crashkernel region needs 200 seconds to read it, with
this change it takes just 2 seconds.

Allow architectures to redefine this macro if needed. This is useful for
example in architectures where 64-bit ELF vmcores are not supported.
Specifying zero vmcore_elf64_check_arch() allows compiler to optimize
away unnecessary parts of parse_crash_elf64_headers().
We also rename the macro to vmcore_elf64_check_arch() to reflect that it
is used for 64-bit vmcores only.

The usage of elfcorehdr_addr has changed recently such that being set to
ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX is used by is_kdump_kernel() to indicate if the code is
executing in a kernel executed as a crash kernel.
However, arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c:reserve_elfcorehdr will rest
elfcorehdr_addr to ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX on error, which means any subsequent
calls to is_kdump_kernel() will return 0, even though they should return
1.
Ok, at this point in time there are no subsequent calls, but I think its
fair to say that there is ample scope for error or at the very least
confusion.
This patch add an extra state, ELFCORE_ADDR_ERR, which indicates that
elfcorehdr_addr was passed on the command line, and thus execution is
taking place in a crashdump kernel, but vmcore can't be used for some
reason. This is tested for using is_vmcore_usable() and set using
vmcore_unusable(). A subsequent patch makes use of this new code.
To summarise, the states that elfcorehdr_addr can now be in are as follows:
ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX: not a crashdump kernel
ELFCORE_ADDR_ERR: crashdump kernel but vmcore is unusable
any other value: crash dump kernel and vmcore is usable

o elfcorehdr_addr is used by not only the code under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE
but also by the code which is not inside CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE. For
example, is_kdump_kernel() is used by powerpc code to determine if
kernel is booting after a panic then use previous kernel's TCE table.
So even if CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE is not set in second kernel, one should be
able to correctly determine that we are booting after a panic and setup
calgary iommu accordingly.
o So remove the assumption that elfcorehdr_addr is under
CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE.
o Move definition of elfcorehdr_addr to arch dependent crash files.
(Unfortunately crash dump does not have an arch independent file
otherwise that would have been the best place).
o kexec.c is not the right place as one can Have CRASH_DUMP enabled in
second kernel without KEXEC being enabled.
o I don't see sh setup code parsing the command line for
elfcorehdr_addr. I am wondering how does vmcore interface work on sh.
Anyway, I am atleast defining elfcoredhr_addr so that compilation is not
broken on sh.

kdump kernel fails to boot with calgary iommu and aacraid driver on a x366
box. The ongoing dma's of aacraid from the first kernel continue to exist
until the driver is loaded in the kdump kernel. Calgary is initialized
prior to aacraid and creation of new tce tables causes wrong dma's to
occur. Here we try to get the tce tables of the first kernel in kdump
kernel and use them. While in the kdump kernel we do not allocate new tce
tables but instead read the base address register contents of calgary
iommu and use the tables that the registers point to. With these changes
the kdump kernel and hence aacraid now boots normally.

The specific case I am encountering is kdump under Xen with a 64 bit
hypervisor and 32 bit kernel/userspace. The dump created is 64 bit due to
the hypervisor but the dump kernel is 32 bit for maximum compatibility.
It's possibly less likely to be useful in a purely native scenario but I
see no reason to disallow it.

This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups
The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)
