ccflags-y has no effect (no code is built in that directory, arch/s390/boot/compressed/Makefile defines its own KBUILD_CFLAGS). Removing ccflags-y together with COMPILE_VERSION. Reviewed-by:

Commit 81796a3c ("s390/decompressor: trim uncompressed image head during the build") introduced a new file named vmlinux.bin.full in directory arch/s390/boot/compressed. Add this file to the list of ignored files so it does not show up on git status. Signed-off-by:

The config options for kexec are currently not under any menu directory. Up until now this was not a problem as standard kexec is always compiled in and thus does not create a menu entry. This changed when kexec_file_load was enabled. Its config option requires a menu entry which, when added beneath standard kexec option, appears on the main directory above "General Setup". Thus move the whole block further down such that the entry in now in "Processor type and features". While at it also update the help text for kexec file. Signed-off-by:

kexec_file_load needs to prepare the new kernels before they are loaded. For that it has to know the offsets in head.S, e.g. to register the new command line. Unfortunately there are no macros right now defining those offsets. Define them now. Signed-off-by:

sclp_early_printk could be used before .bss section is zeroed (i.e. from als.c during the decompressor phase), therefore values used by sclp_early_printk should be located in the .data section. Another reason for that is to avoid potential initrd corruption, if some code in future would use sclp_early_printk before initrd is moved from possibly overlapping with .bss section region to a safe location.

The code to verify the new kernels sha digest is applicable for all architectures. Move it to common code. One problem is the string.c implementation on x86. Currently sha256 includes x86/boot/string.h which defines memcpy and memset to be gcc builtins. By moving the sha256 implementation to common code and changing the include to linux/string.h both functions are no longer defined. Thus definitions have to be provided in x86/purgatory/string.c Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180321112751.22196-12-prudo@linux.vnet.ibm.comSigned-off-by:

For s390 new kernels are loaded to fixed addresses in memory before they are booted. With the current code this is a problem as it assumes the kernel will be loaded to an 'arbitrary' address. In particular, kexec_locate_mem_hole searches for a large enough memory region and sets the load address (kexec_bufer->mem) to it. Luckily there is a simple workaround for this problem. By returning 1 in arch_kexec_walk_mem, kexec_locate_mem_hole is turned off. This allows the architecture to set kbuf->mem by hand. While the trick works fine for the kernel it does not for the purgatory as here the architectures don't have access to its kexec_buffer. Give architectures access to the purgatories kexec_buffer by changing kexec_load_purgatory to take a pointer to it. With this change architectures have access to the buffer and can edit it as they need. A nice side effect of this change is that we can get rid of the purgatory_info->purgatory_load_address field. As now the information stored there can directly be accessed from kbuf->mem. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180321112751.22196-11-prudo@linux.vnet.ibm.comSigned-off-by:

The current code uses the sh_offset field in purgatory_info->sechdrs to store a pointer to the current load address of the section. Depending whether the section will be loaded or not this is either a pointer into purgatory_info->purgatory_buf or kexec_purgatory. This is not only a violation of the ELF standard but also makes the code very hard to understand as you cannot tell if the memory you are using is read-only or not. Remove this misuse and store the offset of the section in pugaroty_info->purgatory_buf in sh_offset. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180321112751.22196-10-prudo@linux.vnet.ibm.comSigned-off-by:

To update the entry point there is an extra loop over all section headers although this can be done in the main loop. So move it there and eliminate the extra loop and variable to store the 'entry section index'. Also, in the main loop, move the usual case, i.e. non-bss section, out of the extra if-block.

When inspecting __kexec_load_purgatory you find that it has two tasks 1) setting up the kexec_buffer for the new kernel and, 2) setting up pi->sechdrs for the final load address. The two tasks are independent of each other. To improve readability split up __kexec_load_purgatory into two functions, one for each task, and call them directly from kexec_load_purgatory.

When the relocations are applied to the purgatory only the section the relocations are applied to is writable. The other sections, i.e. the symtab and .rel/.rela, are in read-only kexec_purgatory. Highlight this by marking the corresponding variables as 'const'. While at it also change the signatures of arch_kexec_apply_relocations* to take section pointers instead of just the index of the relocation section. This removes the second lookup and sanity check of the sections in arch code. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180321112751.22196-6-prudo@linux.vnet.ibm.comSigned-off-by:

Before the purgatory is loaded several checks are done whether the ELF file in kexec_purgatory is valid or not. These checks are incomplete. For example they don't check for the total size of the sections defined in the section header table or if the entry point actually points into the purgatory. On the other hand the purgatory, although an ELF file on its own, is part of the kernel. Thus not trusting the purgatory means not trusting the kernel build itself. So remove all validity checks on the purgatory and just trust the kernel build. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180321112751.22196-3-prudo@linux.vnet.ibm.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "kexec_file: Clean up purgatory load", v2. Following the discussion with Dave and AKASHI, here are the common code patches extracted from my recent patch set (Add kexec_file_load support to s390) [1]. The patches were extracted to allow upstream integration together with AKASHI's common code patches before the arch code gets adjusted to the new base. The reason for this series is to prepare common code for adding kexec_file_load to s390 as well as cleaning up the mis-use of the sh_offset field during purgatory load. In detail this series contains: Patch #1&2: Minor cleanups/fixes. Patch #3-9: Clean up the purgatory load/relocation code. Especially remove the mis-use of the purgatory_info->sechdrs->sh_offset field, currently holding a pointer into either kexec_purgatory (ro) or purgatory_buf (rw) depending on the section. With these patches the section address will be calculated verbosely and sh_offset will contain the offset of the section in the stripped purgatory binary (purgatory_buf). Patch #10: Allows architectures to set the purgatory load address. This patch is important for s390 as the kernel and purgatory have to be loaded to fixed addresses. In current code this is impossible as the purgatory load is opaque to the architecture. Patch #11: Moves x86 purgatories sha implementation to common lib/ directory to allow reuse in other architectures. This patch (of 11) When building the kernel with CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE enabled gcc prints a compile warning multiple times. In file included from <path>/linux/init/initramfs.c:526:0: <path>/include/linux/kexec.h:120:9: warning: `struct kimage' declared inside parameter list [enabled by default] unsigned long cmdline_len); ^ This is because the typedefs for kexec_file_load uses struct kimage before it is declared. Fix this by simply forward declaring struct kimage. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180321112751.22196-2-prudo@linux.vnet.ibm.comSigned-off-by: -

In the previous patches, commonly-used routines, exclude_mem_range() and prepare_elf64_headers(), were carved out. Now place them in kexec common code. A prefix "crash_" is given to each of their names to avoid possible name collisions. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180306102303.9063-8-takahiro.akashi@linaro.orgSigned-off-by:

Removing bufp variable in prepare_elf64_headers() makes the code simpler and more understandable. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180306102303.9063-7-takahiro.akashi@linaro.orgSigned-off-by:
