LoongArch: Use generic interface to support crashkernel=X,[high,low]
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
LoongArch already supports two crashkernel regions in kexec-tools, so we
can directly use the common interface to support crashkernel=X,[high,low]
after commit 0ab9716 ("crash_core: add generic function to do
reservation").

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>, then define CRASH_ALIGN,
   CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX and CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX and in <asm/crash_core.h>;

2) Add arch_reserve_crashkernel() to call parse_crashkernel() and
   reserve_crashkernel_generic();

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

One can reserve the crash kernel from high memory above DMA zone range
by explicitly passing "crashkernel=X,high"; or reserve a memory range
below 4G with "crashkernel=X,low". Besides, there are few rules need to
take notice:

1) "crashkernel=X,[high,low]" will be ignored if "crashkernel=size" is
   specified.
2) "crashkernel=X,low" is valid only when "crashkernel=X,high" is passed
   and there is enough memory to be allocated under 4G.
3) When allocating crashkernel above 4G and no "crashkernel=X,low" is
   specified, a 128M low memory will be allocated automatically for
   swiotlb bounce buffer.
See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt for more information.

Following test cases have been performed as expected:
1) crashkernel=256M                          //low=256M
2) crashkernel=1G                            //low=1G
3) crashkernel=4G                            //high=4G, low=128M(default)
4) crashkernel=4G crashkernel=256M,high      //high=4G, low=128M(default), high is ignored
5) crashkernel=4G crashkernel=256M,low       //high=4G, low=128M(default), low is ignored
6) crashkernel=4G,high                       //high=4G, low=128M(default)
7) crashkernel=256M,low                      //low=0M, invalid
8) crashkernel=4G,high crashkernel=256M,low  //high=4G, low=256M
9) crashkernel=4G,high crashkernel=4G,low    //high=0M, low=0M, invalid
10) crashkernel=512M@2560M                   //low=512M
11) crashkernel=1G,high crashkernel=0M,low   //high=1G, low=0M

Recommended usage in general:
1) In the case of small memory: crashkernel=512M
2) In the case of large memory: crashkernel=1024M,high crashkernel=128M,low

Allow kernel to allocate physical memory region from top,

--> x86: max(swiotlb_size_or_default() + 8MiB, 256MiB)
--> arm64: 128MiB
--> riscv: 128MiB
--> loongarch: 128MiB
This one lets the user specify own low range under 4G
for second kernel instead.
0: to disable low allocation.
