Summary:
MCA on the beginning of kdump/kexec kernel will result in unexpected
behavior because MCA handler for previous kernel is invoked on the
kdump kernel.
Description:
Once a cpu is passed to new kernel, all resources in previous kernel
should not be used from the cpu. Even the resources for MCA handler
are no exception. So we cannot handle MCAs and its machine check
errors during kernel transition, until new handler for new kernel is
registered with new resources ready for handling the MCA.
How to reproduce:
Assert MCA while kdump kernel is booting, before new MCA handler for
kdump kernel is registered.
Expected(Desirable) results:
No recovery, cancel kdump and reboot the system.
Actual results:
MCA handler for previous kernel is invoked on the kdump kernel.
=> panic, hang etc. (unexpected)
Proposed fix:
To avoid entering MCA handler from early stage of new kernel,
unregister the entry point from SAL before leave from current
kernel. Then SAL will make all MCAs to warmboot safely, without
invoking OS_MCA.

kdump/kexec kernel
Summary:
Asserting INIT on the beginning of kdump/kexec kernel will result
in unexpected behavior because INIT handler for previous kernel is
invoked on new kernel.
Description:
In panic situation, we can receive INIT while kernel transition,
i.e. from beginning of panic to bootstrap of kdump kernel.
Since we initialize registers on leave from current kernel, no
longer monarch/slave handlers of current kernel in virtual mode are
called safely. (In fact system goes hang as far as I confirmed)
How to Reproduce:
Start kdump
# echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
Then assert INIT while kdump kernel is booting, before new INIT
handler for kdump kernel is registered.
Expected(Desirable) result:
kdump kernel boots without any problem, crashdump retrieved
Actual result:
INIT handler for previous kernel is invoked on kdump kernel
=> panic, hang etc. (unexpected)
Proposed fix:
We can unregister these init handlers from SAL before jumping into
new kernel, however then the INIT will fallback to default behavior,
result in warmboot by SAL (according to the SAL specification) and
we cannot retrieve the crashdump.
Therefore this patch introduces a NOP init handler and register it
to SAL before leave from current kernel, to start kdump safely by
preventing INITs from entering virtual mode and resulting in warmboot.
On the other hand, in case of kexec that not for kdump, it also
has same problem with INIT while kernel transition.
This patch handles this case differently, because for kexec
unregistering handlers will be preferred than registering NOP
handler, since the situation "no handlers registered" is usual
state for kernel's entry.

This patch fixes the configuration dependencies in the vmcoreinfo data.
i386's "node_data" is defined in arch/x86/mm/discontig_32.c,

ia64's "pgdat_list" is defined in arch/ia64/mm/discontig.c,

ia64's "node_memblk" is defined in arch/ia64/mm/numa.c,

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.

Add a prefix "VMCOREINFO_" to the vmcoreinfo macros. Old vmcoreinfo macros
were defined as generic names SYMBOL/SIZE/OFFSET /LENGTH/CONFIG, and it is
impossible to grep for them. So these names should be changed. This

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.

This patch fixes a NULL-pointer dereference in ia64_machine_kexec().
The variable ia64_kimage is set in machine_kexec_prepare() which is
called from sys_kexec_load(). If kdump wasn't configured before,
ia64_kimage is NULL. machine_kdump_on_init() passes ia64_kimage() to
machine_kexec() which assumes a valid value.
The patch also adds a few sanity checks for the image to simplify
debugging of similar problems in future.
