This series is dependent upon "refactor Kconfig to consolidate
KEXEC and CRASH options".
 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230712161545.87870-1-eric.devolder@oracle.com/

Once the kdump service is loaded, if changes to CPUs or memory occur,
either by hot un/plug or off/onlining, the crash elfcorehdr must also
be updated.

The elfcorehdr describes to kdump the CPUs and memory in the system,
and any inaccuracies can result in a vmcore with missing 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, purgatory and
elfcorehdr) by the userspace kexec utility. In the original post I
outlined the significant performance problems related to offloading
this activity to userspace.

This patchset introduces a generic crash handler that registers with
the CPU and memory notifiers. Upon CPU or memory changes, from either
hot un/plug or off/onlining, 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 elfcorehdr update.

Note the description in patch 'crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers()
to for_each_possible_cpu()' and 'x86/crash: optimize CPU changes' that
enables further optimizations related to CPU plug/unplug/online/offline
performance of elfcorehdr 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 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"

   With this changeset applied, the two rules evaluate to false for
   CPU and memory change events and thus skip the userspace
   unload-then-reload of kdump.

 - 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/2023-May/027049.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.

eric

v27: 11aug2023
 - Rebased onto 6.5.0-rc5
 - The linux-next and akpm test bots found a build error when just
   PROC_KCORE is configured (with no KEXEC or CRASH), which resulted
   in CRASH_CORE enabled by itself. To solve, the struct crash_mem
   moved from include/linux/kexec.h to include/linux/crash_core.h.
   Similarly, the crash_notes also moved from kernel/kexec.c to
   kernel/crash_core.c.
 - Minor adjustment to arch/x86/kernel/crash.c was also needed to
   avoid unused function build errors for just PROC_KCORE.
 - Spot testing of several architectures did not reveal any further
   build problems (PROC_KCORE, KEXEC, CRASH_DUMP, CRASH_HOTPLUG).

 - Rebased to 5.18.0
 - Per Sourabh, moved crash_prepare_elf64_headers() into common
   crash_core.c to avoid compile issues with kexec_load only path.
 - Per David Hildebrand, replaced mutex_trylock() with mutex_lock().
 - Changed the __weak arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event() to utilize
   WARN_ONCE() instead of WARN(). Fix some formatting issues.
 - Per Sourabh, introduced sysfs attribute crash_hotplug for memory
   and CPUs; for use by userspace (udev) to determine if the kernel
   performs crash hot un/plug support.
 - Per Sourabh, moved the code detecting the elfcorehdr segment from
   arch/x86 into crash_core:handle_hotplug_event() so both kexec_load
   and kexec_file_load can benefit.
 - Updated userspace kexec-tools kexec utility to reflect change to
   using CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES and get_nr_cpus().
 - Updated the new proposed udev rules to reflect using the sysfs
   attributes crash_hotplug.

 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220505184603.1548-1-eric.devolder@oracle.com/
 - Per Borislav Petkov, eliminated CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG in favor
   of CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU || CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG, ie a new define
   is not needed. Also use of IS_ENABLED() rather than #ifdef's.
   Renamed crash_hotplug_handler() to handle_hotplug_event().
   And other corrections.
 - Per Baoquan, minimized the parameters to the arch_crash_
   handle_hotplug_event() to hp_action and cpu.
 - Introduce KEXEC_CRASH_HP_INVALID_CPU definition, per Baoquan.
 - Per Sourabh Jain, renamed and repurposed CRASH_HOTPLUG_ELFCOREHDR_SZ
   to CONFIG_CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES, mirroring kexec-tools change
   by David Hildebrand. Folded this patch into the x86
   kexec_file_load support patch.

 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220110195727.1682-1-eric.devolder@oracle.com/
 - Rebasing per Baoquan He request.
 - Changed memory notifier per David Hildenbrand.
 - Providing example kexec userspace change in cover letter.

RFC v2: 7dec2021

 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211207195204.1582-1-eric.devolder@oracle.com/
 - Acting upon Baoquan He suggestion of removing elfcorehdr from
   the purgatory list of segments, removed purgatory code from
   patchset, and it is signficiantly simpler now.

RFC v1: 18nov2021
 https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/11/18/845
 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211118174948.37435-1-eric.devolder@oracle.com/
 - working patchset demonstrating kernel handling of hotplug
   updates to x86 elfcorehdr for kexec_file_load

 NOTE: s/vmcoreinfo/elfcorehdr/g
 - proposed concept of allowing kernel to handle hotplug update
   of elfcorehdr

Eric DeVolder (8):
  crash: move a few code bits to setup support of crash hotplug
  crash: add generic infrastructure for crash hotplug support
  kexec: exclude elfcorehdr from the segment digest
  crash: memory and CPU hotplug sysfs attributes
  x86/crash: add x86 crash hotplug support
  crash: hotplug support for kexec_load()
  crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu()
  x86/crash: optimize CPU changes
