When the kdump service is loaded, if a CPU or memory is hot
un/plugged, the crash elfcorehdr, which describes the CPUs
and memory in the system, must also be updated, else the resulting
vmcore is inaccurate (eg. missing either CPU context or memory
regions).
The current solution utilizes udev to initiate an unload-then-reload
of the kdump image (eg. kernel, initrd, boot_params, puratory and
elfcorehdr) by the userspace kexec utility. In previous posts I have
outlined the significant performance problems related to offloading
this activity to userspace.
This patchset introduces a generic crash hot un/plug handler that
registers with the CPU and memory notifiers. Upon CPU or memory
changes, this generic handler is invoked and performs important
housekeeping, for example obtaining the appropriate lock, and then
invokes an architecture specific handler to do the appropriate
updates.
In the case of x86_64, the arch specific handler generates a new
elfcorehdr, and overwrites the old one in memory; thus no
involvement with userspace needed.
To realize the benefits/test this patchset, one must make a couple
of minor changes to userspace:
- Prevent udev from updating kdump crash kernel on hot un/plug changes.
Add the following as the first lines to the RHEL udev rule file
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/98-kexec.rules:
# The kernel handles updates to 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"
These lines will cause cpu and memory hot un/plug events to be
skipped within this rule file, with this changset applied.
- Change to the kexec_file_load for loading the kdump kernel:
Eg. on RHEL: in /usr/bin/kdumpctl, change to:
standard_kexec_args="-p -d -s"
which adds the -s to select kexec_file_load syscall.
This kernel patchset also supports kexec_load() with a modified kexec
userspace utility. A working changeset to the kexec userspace utility
is posted to the kexec-tools mailing list here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2022-October/026032.html
To use the kexec-tools patch, apply, build and install kexec-tools,
then change the kdumpctl's standard_kexec_args to replace the -s with
--hotplug. The removal of -s reverts to the kexec_load syscall and
the addition of --hotplug invokes the changes put forth in the
kexec-tools patch.

2.31.1
The crash hotplug support leans on the work for the kexec_file_load()
syscall. To support crash hotplug for the kexec_load() syscall, a few
bits of code need to be move outside of CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE.
The crash_prepare_elf64_headers() and crash_exclude_mem_range()
functions, as well as the struct crash_mem are needed for support
of crash hotplug on the kexec_load() path, as well as kexec_file_load().
As such, need to move these bits out of kexec_file.c and into a
common location crash_core.c.
No functionality change.

2.31.1
From within crash_prepare_elf64_headers() there is a need to
reference the struct kimage hotplug members. As such, this
change passes the struct kimage as a parameter to the
crash_prepare_elf64_headers(). The hotplug members are added
in "crash: add generic infrastructure for crash hotplug support".
This is preparation for later patch, no functionality change.

2.31.1
When a crash kernel is loaded via the kexec_file_load() syscall, the
kernel places the various segments (ie crash kernel, crash initrd,
boot_params, elfcorehdr, purgatory, etc) in memory. For those
architectures that utilize purgatory, a hash digest of the segments
is calculated for integrity checking. This digest is embedded into
the purgatory image prior to placing purgatory in memory.
Since hotplug events cause changes to the elfcorehdr, purgatory
integrity checking fails (at crash time, and no kdump created).
As a result, this change explicitly excludes the elfcorehdr segment
from the list of segments used to create the digest. By doing so,
this permits changes to the elfcorehdr in response to hotplug events,
without having to also reload purgatory due to the change to the
digest.
