0d70262a2d ARM: kexec: fix failure to boot crash kernel
When kexec was converted to DTB, the dtb address was passed between
machine_kexec_prepare() and machine_kexec() using a static variable.
This is bad news if you load a crash kernel followed by a normal
kernel or vice versa - the last loaded kernel overwrites the dtb
address.

This can result in kexec failures, as (eg) we try to boot the crash
kernel with the last loaded dtb.  For example, with:

the crash kernel fails to find the dtb.

Avoid this by defining a kimage architecture structure, and store
the address to be passed in r2 there, which will either be the ATAGs
or the dtb blob.

Fixes: 4cabd1d962 ("ARM: 7539/1: kexec: scan for dtb magic in segments")
Fixes: 42d720d173 ("ARM: kexec: Make .text R/W in machine_kexec")

fee3fd4fd2 ARM: 8338/1: kexec: Relax SMP validation to improve DT compatibility
When trying to kexec into a new kernel on a platform where multiple CPU
cores are present, but no SMP bringup code is available yet, the
kexec_load system call fails with:

    kexec_load failed: Invalid argument

The SMP test added to machine_kexec_prepare() in commit 2103f6cba6
("ARM: 7807/1: kexec: validate CPU hotplug support") wants to prohibit
kexec on SMP platforms where it cannot disable secondary CPUs.
However, this test is too strict: if the secondary CPUs couldn't be
enabled in the first place, there's no need to disable them later at
kexec time.  Hence skip the test in the absence of SMP bringup code.

This allows to add all CPU cores to the DTS from the beginning, without
having to implement SMP bringup first, improving DT compatibility.

42d720d173 ARM: kexec: Make .text R/W in machine_kexec
With the introduction of Kees Cook's patch to make the kernel .text
read-only the existing method by which kexec works got broken since it
directly pokes some values in the template code, which resides in the
.text section.

The current patch changes the way those values are inserted so that poking
.text section occurs only in machine_kexec (e.g when we are about to nuke
the old kernel and are beyond the point of return). This allows to use
set_kernel_text_rw() to directly patch the values in the .text section.

I had already sent a patch which achieved this but it was significantly
more complicated, so this is a cleaner/straight-forward approach.

2103f6cba6 ARM: 7807/1: kexec: validate CPU hotplug support
Architectures should fully validate whether kexec is possible as part of
machine_kexec_prepare(), so that user-space's kexec_load() operation can
report any problems. Performing validation in machine_kexec() itself is
too late, since it is not allowed to return.

Prior to this patch, ARM's machine_kexec() was testing after-the-fact
whether machine_kexec_prepare() was able to disable all but one CPU.
Instead, modify machine_kexec_prepare() to validate all conditions
necessary for machine_kexec_prepare()'s to succeed. BUG if the validation
succeeded, yet disabling the CPUs didn't actually work.

19ab428f4b ARM: 7759/1: decouple CPU offlining from reboot/shutdown
Add comments to machine_shutdown()/halt()/power_off()/restart() that
describe their purpose and/or requirements re: CPUs being active/not.

In machine_shutdown(), replace the call to smp_send_stop() with a call to
disable_nonboot_cpus(). This completely disables all but one CPU, thus
satisfying the requirement that only a single CPU be active for kexec.
Adjust Kconfig dependencies for this change.

In machine_halt()/power_off()/restart(), call smp_send_stop() directly,
rather than via machine_shutdown(); these functions don't need to
completely de-activate all CPUs using hotplug, but rather just quiesce
them.

Remove smp_kill_cpus(), and its call from smp_send_stop().
smp_kill_cpus() was indirectly calling smp_ops.cpu_kill() without calling
smp_ops.cpu_die() on the target CPUs first. At least some implementations
of smp_ops had issues with this; it caused cpu_kill() to hang on Tegra,
for example. Since smp_send_stop() is only used for shutdown, halt, and
power-off, there is no need to attempt any kind of CPU hotplug here.

Adjust Kconfig to reflect that machine_shutdown() (and hence kexec)
relies upon disable_nonboot_cpus(). However, this alone doesn't guarantee
that hotplug will work, or even that hotplug is implemented for a
particular piece of HW that a multi-platform zImage runs on. Hence, add
error-checking to machine_kexec() to determine whether it did work.

9141a003a4 ARM: 7316/1: kexec: EOI active and mask all interrupts in kexec crash path
The kexec machine crash code can be called in interrupt context via a
sysrq trigger made using the magic key combination. If the irq chip
dealing with the serial interrupt is using the fasteoi flow handler,
then we will never EOI the interrupt because the interrupt handler will
be fatal. In the case of a GIC, this results in the crash kernel not
receiving interrupts on that CPU interface.

This patch adds code (based on the PowerPC implementation) to EOI any
pending interrupts on the crash CPU before masking and disabling all
interrupts. Secondary cores are not a problem since they are placed into
a cpu_relax() loop via an IPI.

This reverts commit 2b034922af.

Will Deacon reports:

This is causing kexec to fail.

The symptoms are that the .init.text section is not loaded as part of the
new kernel image, so when we try to do the SMP/UP fixups we hit a whole sea
of poison left there by the previous kernel.

So my guess is that machine_kexec_prepare *is* too early for preparing the
reboot_code_buffer and, unless anybody has a good reason not to, I'd like to
revert the patch causing these problems.

Currently, the atags used by kexec are fixed to the ones originally used
to boot the kernel. This is less than ideal as changing the commandline,
initrd and other options would be a useful feature.

This patch exports the atags used for the current kernel to userspace
through an "atags" file in procfs. The presence of the file is
controlled by its own Kconfig option and cleans up several ifdef blocks
into a separate file. The tags for the new kernel are assumed to be at
a fixed location before the kernel image itself. The location of the
tags used to boot the original kernel is unimportant and no longer
saved.

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.
