978e30c9b4 kexec: move some memembers and definitions within the scope of CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE
Move the stuff currently only used by the kexec file code within
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE (and CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG).

Also move internal "struct kexec_sha_region" and "struct kexec_buf" into
"kexec_internal.h".

7bbee5ca38 kexec: Fix race between panic() and crash_kexec()
Currently, panic() and crash_kexec() can be called at the same time.
For example (x86 case):

CPU 0:
  oops_end()
    crash_kexec()
      mutex_trylock() // acquired
        nmi_shootdown_cpus() // stop other CPUs

CPU 1:
  panic()
    crash_kexec()
      mutex_trylock() // failed to acquire
    smp_send_stop() // stop other CPUs
    infinite loop

If CPU 1 calls smp_send_stop() before nmi_shootdown_cpus(), kdump
fails.

In another case:

CPU 0:
  oops_end()
    crash_kexec()
      mutex_trylock() // acquired
        <NMI>
        io_check_error()
          panic()
            crash_kexec()
              mutex_trylock() // failed to acquire
            infinite loop

Clearly, this is an undesirable result.

To fix this problem, this patch changes crash_kexec() to exclude others
by using the panic_cpu atomic.

2965faa5e0 kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code
There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
 kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c.  In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.

And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.

The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled.  But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.

Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel.  KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.

Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig.  Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

7e01b5acd8 kexec: allocate the kexec control page with KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_GFP
Introduce KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_GFP to allow the architecture code
to override the gfp flags of the allocation for the kexec control
page. The loop in kimage_alloc_normal_control_pages allocates pages
with GFP_KERNEL until a page is found that happens to have an
address smaller than the KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT. On systems
with a large memory size but a small KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT
the loop will keep allocating memory until the oom killer steps in.

cf2df6396b kexec: add bit definitions for kimage entry flags
Define new kexec preprocessor macros IND_*_BIT that define the bit
position of the kimage entry flags.  Change the existing IND_* flag macros
to be defined as bit shifts of the corresponding IND_*_BIT macros.  Also
wrap all C language code in kexec.h with #if !defined(__ASSEMBLY__) so
assembly files can include kexec.h to get the IND_* and IND_*_BIT macros.

Some CPU instruction sets have tests for bit position which are convenient
in implementing routines that operate on the kimage entry list.  The
addition of these bit position macros in a common location will avoid
duplicate definitions and the chance that changes to the IND_* flags will
not be propagated to assembly files.

73d7e3eac0 kexec: remove never used member destination in kimage
struct kimage has a member destination which is used to store the real
destination address of each page when load segment from user space buffer
to kernel.  But we never retrieve the value stored in kimage->destination,
so this member variable in kimage and its assignment operation are
redundent code.

I guess for_each_kimage_entry just does the work that kimage->destination
is expected to do.

So in this patch just make a cleanup to remove it.

669280a152 kexec: take the segment adding out of locate_mem_hole functions
In locate_mem_hole functions, a memory hole is located and added as
kexec_segment.  But from the name of locate_mem_hole, it should only take
responsibility of searching a available memory hole to contain data of a
specified size.

So in this patch add a new field 'mem' into kexec_buf, then take that
kexec segment adding code out of locate_mem_hole_top_down and
locate_mem_hole_bottom_up.  This make clear of the functionality of
locate_mem_hole just like it declars to do.  And by this
locate_mem_hole_callback chould be used later if anyone want to locate a
memory hole for other use.

Meanwhile Vivek suggested opening code function __kexec_add_segment(),
that way we have to retreive ksegment pointer once and it is easy to read.
 So just do it in this patch and remove __kexec_add_segment() since no one
use it anymore.

8e7d838103 kexec: verify the signature of signed PE bzImage
This is the final piece of the puzzle of verifying kernel image signature
during kexec_file_load() syscall.

This patch calls into PE file routines to verify signature of bzImage.  If
signature are valid, kexec_file_load() succeeds otherwise it fails.

Two new config options have been introduced.  First one is
CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG.  This option enforces that kernel has to be
validly signed otherwise kernel load will fail.  If this option is not
set, no signature verification will be done.  Only exception will be when
secureboot is enabled.  In that case signature verification should be
automatically enforced when secureboot is enabled.  But that will happen
when secureboot patches are merged.

Second config option is CONFIG_KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG.  This option
enables signature verification support on bzImage.  If this option is not
set and previous one is set, kernel image loading will fail because kernel
does not have support to verify signature of bzImage.

I tested these patches with both "pesign" and "sbsign" signed bzImages.

I used signing_key.priv key and signing_key.x509 cert for signing as
generated during kernel build process (if module signing is enabled).

Used following method to sign bzImage.

pesign
======
- Convert DER format cert to PEM format cert
openssl x509 -in signing_key.x509 -inform DER -out signing_key.x509.PEM -outform
PEM

- Generate a .p12 file from existing cert and private key file
openssl pkcs12 -export -out kernel-key.p12 -inkey signing_key.priv -in
signing_key.x509.PEM

- Import .p12 file into pesign db
pk12util -i /tmp/kernel-key.p12 -d /etc/pki/pesign

- Sign bzImage
pesign -i /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+ -o /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+.signed.pesign
-c "Glacier signing key - Magrathea" -s

sbsign
======
sbsign --key signing_key.priv --cert signing_key.x509.PEM --output
/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+.signed.sbsign /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+

Patch details:

Well all the hard work is done in previous patches.  Now bzImage loader
has just call into that code and verify whether bzImage signature are
valid or not.

Also create two config options.  First one is CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG.
This option enforces that kernel has to be validly signed otherwise kernel
load will fail.  If this option is not set, no signature verification will
be done.  Only exception will be when secureboot is enabled.  In that case
signature verification should be automatically enforced when secureboot is
enabled.  But that will happen when secureboot patches are merged.

Second config option is CONFIG_KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG.  This option
enables signature verification support on bzImage.  If this option is not
set and previous one is set, kernel image loading will fail because kernel
does not have support to verify signature of bzImage.

12db5562e0 kexec: load and relocate purgatory at kernel load time
Load purgatory code in RAM and relocate it based on the location.
Relocation code has been inspired by module relocation code and purgatory
relocation code in kexec-tools.

Also compute the checksums of loaded kexec segments and store them in
purgatory.

Arch independent code provides this functionality so that arch dependent
bootloaders can make use of it.

Helper functions are provided to get/set symbol values in purgatory which
are used by bootloaders later to set things like stack and entry point of
second kernel etc.

cb1052581e kexec: implementation of new syscall kexec_file_load
Previous patch provided the interface definition and this patch prvides
implementation of new syscall.

Previously segment list was prepared in user space.  Now user space just
passes kernel fd, initrd fd and command line and kernel will create a
segment list internally.

This patch contains generic part of the code.  Actual segment preparation
and loading is done by arch and image specific loader.  Which comes in
next patch.

815d5704a3 kexec: make kexec_segment user buffer pointer a union
So far kexec_segment->buf was always a user space pointer as user space
passed the array of kexec_segment structures and kernel copied it.

But with new system call, list of kexec segments will be prepared by
kernel and kexec_segment->buf will point to a kernel memory.

So while I was adding code where I made assumption that ->buf is pointing
to kernel memory, sparse started giving warning.

Make ->buf a union.  And where a user space pointer is expected, access it
using ->buf and where a kernel space pointer is expected, access it using
->kbuf.  That takes care of sparse warnings.

7984754b99 kexec: add sysctl to disable kexec_load
For general-purpose (i.e.  distro) kernel builds it makes sense to build
with CONFIG_KEXEC to allow end users to choose what kind of things they
want to do with kexec.  However, in the face of trying to lock down a
system with such a kernel, there needs to be a way to disable kexec_load
(much like module loading can be disabled).  Without this, it is too easy
for the root user to modify kernel memory even when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM
and modules_disabled are set.  With this change, it is still possible to
load an image for use later, then disable kexec_load so the image (or lack
of image) can't be altered.

The intention is for using this in environments where "perfect"
enforcement is hard.  Without a verified boot, along with verified
modules, and along with verified kexec, this is trying to give a system a
better chance to defend itself (or at least grow the window of
discoverability) against attack in the face of a privilege escalation.

In my mind, I consider several boot scenarios:

1) Verified boot of read-only verified root fs loading fd-based
   verification of kexec images.
2) Secure boot of writable root fs loading signed kexec images.
3) Regular boot loading kexec (e.g. kcrash) image early and locking it.
4) Regular boot with no control of kexec image at all.

1 and 2 don't exist yet, but will soon once the verified kexec series has
landed.  4 is the state of things now.  The gap between 2 and 4 is too
large, so this change creates scenario 3, a middle-ground above 4 when 2
and 1 are not possible for a system.

preparation to kexec a kernel.  Add code in PCI subsystem to use this flag
to clear Bus Master bit on PCI devices only in case of kexec reboot.

This fixes a power-off problem on Acer Aspire V5-573G and likely other
machines and avoids any other issues caused by clearing Bus Master bit on
PCI devices in normal shutdown path.  The problem was introduced by
b566a22c23 ("PCI: disable Bus Master on PCI device shutdown").

55a20ee780 x86, kdump: Retore crashkernel= to allocate under 896M
Vivek found old kexec-tools does not work new kernel anymore.

So change back crashkernel= back to old behavoir, and add crashkernel_high=
to let user decide if buffer could be above 4G, and also new kexec-tools will
be needed.

-v2: let crashkernel=X override crashkernel_high=
    update description about _high will be ignored by crashkernel=X
-v3: update description about kernel-parameters.txt according to Vivek.

0212f91596 x86: Add Crash kernel low reservation
During kdump kernel's booting stage, it need to find low ram for
swiotlb buffer when system does not support intel iommu/dmar remapping.

kexed-tools is appending memmap=exactmap and range from /proc/iomem
with "Crash kernel", and that range is above 4G for 64bit after boot
protocol 2.12.

We need to add another range in /proc/iomem like "Crash kernel low",
so kexec-tools could find that info and append to kdump kernel
command line.

Try to reserve some under 4G if the normal "Crash kernel" is above 4G.

User could specify the size with crashkernel_low=XX[KMG].

-v2: fix warning that is found by Fengguang's test robot.
-v3: move out get_mem_size change to another patch, to solve compiling
     warning that is found by Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de>
-v4: user must specify crashkernel_low if system does not support
     intel or amd iommu.

29a5c67e7a kexec: export kexec.h to user space
Add userspace definitions, guard all relevant kernel structures.  While at
it document stuff and remove now useless userspace hint.

It is easy to add the relevant system call to respective libc's, but it
seems pointless to have to duplicate the data structures.

This is based on the kexec-tools headers, with the exception of just using
int on return (succes or failure) and using size_t instead of 'unsigned
long int' for the number of segments argument of kexec_load().

558df7209e [S390] kdump: Add infrastructure for unmapping crashkernel memory
This patch introduces a mechanism that allows architecture backends to
remove page tables for the crashkernel memory. This can protect the loaded
kdump kernel from being overwritten by broken kernel code.  Two new
functions crash_map_reserved_pages() and crash_unmap_reserved_pages() are
added that can be implemented by architecture code.  The
crash_map_reserved_pages() function is called before and
crash_unmap_reserved_pages() after the crashkernel segments are loaded.  The
functions are also called in crash_shrink_memory() to create/remove page
tables when the crashkernel memory size is reduced.

To support architectures that have large pages this patch also introduces
a new define KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN. The crashkernel start and size must
always be aligned with KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN.

3ab8352137 kexec jump
This patch provides an enhancement to kexec/kdump.  It implements the
following features:

- Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after
  kexec.

- Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec.

The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in
physical mode (paging turning off).  This can be used to call BIOS code under
Linux.

kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and
the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL:

       source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2
       patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2
       binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10

Usage example of calling some physical mode code and return:

1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected:

CONFIG_X86_32=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_PM=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y

2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one.

3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode"

4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1.

5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command
   line can be as follow:

   /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode

6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line:

   /sbin/kexec -e

Implementation point:

To support jumping without reserving memory.  One shadow backup page (source
page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination
page).  When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source
pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are
swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped.  Before jumping
to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the
destination pages and the source pages are swapped too.

C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between
kernel and called code.

A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to
indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back.

Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

c76f860c44 vmcoreinfo: rename vmcoreinfo's macros returning the size
This patchset is for the vmcoreinfo data.

The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
filtering.  makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.

This patch:

VMCOREINFO_SIZE() should be renamed VMCOREINFO_STRUCT_SIZE() since it's always
returning the size of the struct with a given name. This change would allow
VMCOREINFO_TYPEDEF_SIZE() to simply become VMCOREINFO_SIZE() since it need not
be used exclusively for typedefs.

cba63c3089 Extended crashkernel command line
This patch adds a extended crashkernel syntax that makes the value of reserved
system RAM dependent on the system RAM itself:

    crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...][@offset]
    range=start-[end]

For example:

    crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M

The motivation comes from distributors that configure their crashkernel
command line automatically with some configuration tool (YaST, you know ;)).
Of course that tool knows the value of System RAM, but if the user removes
RAM, then the system becomes unbootable or at least unusable and error
handling is very difficult.

This series implements this change for i386, x86_64, ia64, ppc64 and sh.  That
should be all platforms that support kdump in current mainline.  I tested all
platforms except sh due to the lack of a sh processor.

This patch:

This is the generic part of the patch.  It adds a parse_crashkernel() function
in kernel/kexec.c that is called by the architecture specific code that
actually reserves the memory.  That function takes the whole command line and
looks itself for "crashkernel=" in it.

If there are multiple occurrences, then the last one is taken.  The advantage
is that if you have a bootloader like lilo or elilo which allows you to append
a command line parameter but not to remove one (like in GRUB), then you can
add another crashkernel value for testing at the boot command line and this
one overwrites the command line in the configuration then.

fd59d231f8 Add vmcoreinfo
This patch set frees the restriction that makedumpfile users should install a
vmlinux file (including the debugging information) into each system.

makedumpfile command is the dump filtering feature for kdump.  It creates a
small dumpfile by filtering unnecessary pages for the analysis.  To
distinguish unnecessary pages, it needs a vmlinux file including the debugging
information.  These days, the debugging package becomes a huge file, and it is
hard to install it into each system.

To solve the problem, kdump developers discussed it at lkml and kexec-ml.  As
the result, we reached the conclusion that necessary information for dump
filtering (called "vmcoreinfo") should be embedded into the first kernel file
and it should be accessed through /proc/vmcore during the second kernel.

6672f76a5a kdump/kexec: calculate note size at compile time
Currently the size of the per-cpu region reserved to save crash notes is
set by the per-architecture value MAX_NOTE_BYTES.  Which in turn is
currently set to 1024 on all supported architectures.

While testing ia64 I recently discovered that this value is in fact too
small.  The particular setup I was using actually needs 1172 bytes.  This
lead to very tedious failure mode where the tail of one elf note would
overwrite the head of another if they ended up being alocated sequentially
by kmalloc, which was often the case.

It seems to me that a far better approach is to caclculate the size that
the area needs to be.  This patch does just that.

If a simpler stop-gap patch for ia64 to be squeezed into 2.6.21(.X) is
needed then this should be as easy as making MAX_NOTE_BYTES larger in
arch/asm-ia64/kexec.h.  Perhaps 2048 would be a good choice.  However, I
think that the approach in this patch is a much more robust idea.

c587e4a6a4 [ARM] 4137/1: Add kexec support
Add kexec support to ARM.

Improvements like commandline handling could be made but this patch gives
basic functional support. It uses the next available syscall number, 347.

Once the syscall number is known, userspace support will be
finalised/submitted to kexec-tools, various patches already exist.

Originally based on a patch by Maxim Syrchin but updated and forward
ported by various people.

85916f8166 [PATCH] Kexec / Kdump: Unify elf note code
The elf note saving code is currently duplicated over several
architectures.  This cleanup patch simply adds code to a common file and
then replaces the arch-specific code with calls to the newly added code.

The only drawback with this approach is that s390 doesn't fully support
kexec-on-panic which for that arch leads to introduction of unused code.

c330dda908 [PATCH] Add a sysfs file to determine if a kexec kernel is loaded
Create two files in /sys/kernel, kexec_loaded and kexec_crash_loaded.  Each
file contains a simple boolean value indicating whether the relevant kernel
has been loaded into memory.  The motivation for this is geared around
support.
