crash: hotplug support for kexec_load()
The hotplug support for kexec_load() requires changes to the userspace kexec-tools and a little extra help from the kernel. Given a kdump capture kernel loaded via kexec_load(), and a subsequent hotplug event, the crash hotplug handler finds the elfcorehdr and rewrites it to reflect the hotplug change. That is the desired outcome, however, at kernel panic time, the purgatory integrity check fails (because the elfcorehdr changed), and the capture kernel does not boot and no vmcore is generated. Therefore, the userspace kexec-tools/kexec must indicate to the kernel that the elfcorehdr can be modified (because the kexec excluded the elfcorehdr from the digest, and sized the elfcorehdr memory buffer appropriately). To facilitate hotplug support with kexec_load(): - a new kexec flag KEXEC_UPATE_ELFCOREHDR indicates that it is safe for the kernel to modify the kexec_load()'d elfcorehdr - the /sys/kernel/crash_elfcorehdr_size node communicates the preferred size of the elfcorehdr memory buffer - The sysfs crash_hotplug nodes (ie. /sys/devices/system/[cpu|memory]/crash_hotplug) dynamically take into account kexec_file_load() vs kexec_load() and KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR. This is critical so that the udev rule processing of crash_hotplug is all that is needed to determine if the userspace unload-then-load of the kdump image is to be skipped, or not. The proposed udev rule change looks like: # The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" The table below indicates the behavior of kexec_load()'d kdump image updates (with the new udev crash_hotplug rule in place): Kernel |Kexec -------+-----+---- Old |Old |New | a | a -------+-----+---- New | a | b -------+-----+---- where kexec 'old' and 'new' delineate kexec-tools has the needed modifications for the crash hotplug feature, and kernel 'old' and 'new' delineate the kernel supports this crash hotplug feature. Behavior 'a' indicates the unload-then-reload of the entire kdump image. For the kexec 'old' column, the unload-then-reload occurs due to the missing flag KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR. An 'old' kernel (with 'new' kexec) does not present the crash_hotplug sysfs node, which leads to the unload-then-reload of the kdump image. Behavior 'b' indicates the desired optimized behavior of the kernel directly modifying the elfcorehdr and avoiding the unload-then-reload of the kdump image. If the udev rule is not updated with crash_hotplug node check, then no matter any combination of kernel or kexec is new or old, the kdump image continues to be unload-then-reload on hotplug changes. To fully support crash hotplug feature, there needs to be a rollout of kernel, kexec-tools and udev rule changes. However, the order of the rollout of these pieces does not matter; kexec_load()'d kdump images still function for hotplug as-is.
