* kexec: move some memembers and definitions within the scope of CONFIG_KEXEC_FILEXunlei Pang2016-01-201-37/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the stuff currently only used by the kexec file code within CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE (and CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG). Also move internal "struct kexec_sha_region" and "struct kexec_buf" into "kexec_internal.h". Signed-off-by: Xunlei Pang <xlpang@redhat.com> Cc: "Eric W.

* kexec: Fix race between panic() and crash_kexec()Hidehiro Kawai2015-12-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, panic() and crash_kexec() can be called at the same time. For example (x86 case): CPU 0: oops_end() crash_kexec() mutex_trylock() // acquired nmi_shootdown_cpus() // stop other CPUs CPU 1: panic() crash_kexec() mutex_trylock() // failed to acquire smp_send_stop() // stop other CPUs infinite loop If CPU 1 calls smp_send_stop() before nmi_shootdown_cpus(), kdump fails. In another case: CPU 0: oops_end() crash_kexec() mutex_trylock() // acquired <NMI> io_check_error() panic() crash_kexec() mutex_trylock() // failed to acquire infinite loop Clearly, this is an undesirable result. To fix this problem, this patch changes crash_kexec() to exclude others by using the panic_cpu atomic.

* kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core codeDave Young2015-09-101-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load. kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c. And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse. The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking. Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work. Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to kexec_load syscall. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_GFP to allow the architecture code to override the gfp flags of the allocation for the kexec control page. The loop in kimage_alloc_normal_control_pages allocates pages with GFP_KERNEL until a page is found that happens to have an address smaller than the KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT. On systems with a large memory size but a small KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT the loop will keep allocating memory until the oom killer steps in.

* kexec: add bit definitions for kimage entry flagsGeoff Levand2015-02-171-4/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Define new kexec preprocessor macros IND_*_BIT that define the bit position of the kimage entry flags. Change the existing IND_* flag macros to be defined as bit shifts of the corresponding IND_*_BIT macros. Also wrap all C language code in kexec.h with #if !defined(__ASSEMBLY__) so assembly files can include kexec.h to get the IND_* and IND_*_BIT macros. Some CPU instruction sets have tests for bit position which are convenient in implementing routines that operate on the kimage entry list. The addition of these bit position macros in a common location will avoid duplicate definitions and the chance that changes to the IND_* flags will not be propagated to assembly files.

* kexec: remove never used member destination in kimageBaoquan He2015-02-171-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct kimage has a member destination which is used to store the real destination address of each page when load segment from user space buffer to kernel. But we never retrieve the value stored in kimage->destination, so this member variable in kimage and its assignment operation are redundent code. I guess for_each_kimage_entry just does the work that kimage->destination is expected to do. So in this patch just make a cleanup to remove it. Signed-off-by: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Cc: "Eric W.

* kexec: take the segment adding out of locate_mem_hole functionsBaoquan He2014-10-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In locate_mem_hole functions, a memory hole is located and added as kexec_segment. But from the name of locate_mem_hole, it should only take responsibility of searching a available memory hole to contain data of a specified size. So in this patch add a new field 'mem' into kexec_buf, then take that kexec segment adding code out of locate_mem_hole_top_down and locate_mem_hole_bottom_up. This make clear of the functionality of locate_mem_hole just like it declars to do. And by this locate_mem_hole_callback chould be used later if anyone want to locate a memory hole for other use. Meanwhile Vivek suggested opening code function __kexec_add_segment(), that way we have to retreive ksegment pointer once and it is easy to read. So just do it in this patch and remove __kexec_add_segment() since no one use it anymore. Signed-off-by: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.

* kexec: verify the signature of signed PE bzImageVivek Goyal2014-08-081-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the final piece of the puzzle of verifying kernel image signature during kexec_file_load() syscall. This patch calls into PE file routines to verify signature of bzImage. If signature are valid, kexec_file_load() succeeds otherwise it fails. Two new config options have been introduced. First one is CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG. This option enforces that kernel has to be validly signed otherwise kernel load will fail. If this option is not set, no signature verification will be done. Only exception will be when secureboot is enabled. In that case signature verification should be automatically enforced when secureboot is enabled. But that will happen when secureboot patches are merged. Second config option is CONFIG_KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG. This option enables signature verification support on bzImage. If this option is not set and previous one is set, kernel image loading will fail because kernel does not have support to verify signature of bzImage. I tested these patches with both "pesign" and "sbsign" signed bzImages. I used signing_key.priv key and signing_key.x509 cert for signing as generated during kernel build process (if module signing is enabled). Used following method to sign bzImage. pesign ====== - Convert DER format cert to PEM format cert openssl x509 -in signing_key.x509 -inform DER -out signing_key.x509.PEM -outform PEM - Generate a .p12 file from existing cert and private key file openssl pkcs12 -export -out kernel-key.p12 -inkey signing_key.priv -in signing_key.x509.PEM - Import .p12 file into pesign db pk12util -i /tmp/kernel-key.p12 -d /etc/pki/pesign - Sign bzImage pesign -i /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+ -o /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+.signed.pesign -c "Glacier signing key - Magrathea" -s sbsign ====== sbsign --key signing_key.priv --cert signing_key.x509.PEM --output /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+.signed.sbsign /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+ Patch details: Well all the hard work is done in previous patches. Now bzImage loader has just call into that code and verify whether bzImage signature are valid or not. Also create two config options. First one is CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG. This option enforces that kernel has to be validly signed otherwise kernel load will fail. If this option is not set, no signature verification will be done. Only exception will be when secureboot is enabled. In that case signature verification should be automatically enforced when secureboot is enabled. But that will happen when secureboot patches are merged. Second config option is CONFIG_KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG. This option enables signature verification support on bzImage.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Load purgatory code in RAM and relocate it based on the location. Relocation code has been inspired by module relocation code and purgatory relocation code in kexec-tools. Also compute the checksums of loaded kexec segments and store them in purgatory. Arch independent code provides this functionality so that arch dependent bootloaders can make use of it. Helper functions are provided to get/set symbol values in purgatory which are used by bootloaders later to set things like stack and entry point of second kernel etc. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: H.

* kexec: make kexec_segment user buffer pointer a unionVivek Goyal2014-08-081-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far kexec_segment->buf was always a user space pointer as user space passed the array of kexec_segment structures and kernel copied it. But with new system call, list of kexec segments will be prepared by kernel and kexec_segment->buf will point to a kernel memory. So while I was adding code where I made assumption that ->buf is pointing to kernel memory, sparse started giving warning. Make ->buf a union. And where a user space pointer is expected, access it using ->buf and where a kernel space pointer is expected, access it using ->kbuf. That takes care of sparse warnings.

* kexec: add sysctl to disable kexec_loadKees Cook2014-01-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For general-purpose (i.e. distro) kernel builds it makes sense to build with CONFIG_KEXEC to allow end users to choose what kind of things they want to do with kexec. However, in the face of trying to lock down a system with such a kernel, there needs to be a way to disable kexec_load (much like module loading can be disabled). Without this, it is too easy for the root user to modify kernel memory even when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM and modules_disabled are set. With this change, it is still possible to load an image for use later, then disable kexec_load so the image (or lack of image) can't be altered. The intention is for using this in environments where "perfect" enforcement is hard. Without a verified boot, along with verified modules, and along with verified kexec, this is trying to give a system a better chance to defend itself (or at least grow the window of discoverability) against attack in the face of a privilege escalation. In my mind, I consider several boot scenarios: 1) Verified boot of read-only verified root fs loading fd-based verification of kexec images. 2) Secure boot of writable root fs loading signed kexec images. 3) Regular boot loading kexec (e.g. kcrash) image early and locking it. 4) Regular boot with no control of kexec image at all. 1 and 2 don't exist yet, but will soon once the verified kexec series has landed. 4 is the state of things now. The gap between 2 and 4 is too large, so this change creates scenario 3, a middle-ground above 4 when 2 and 1 are not possible for a system.

* PCI: Disable Bus Master only on kexec rebootKhalid Aziz2013-12-071-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a flag to tell the PCI subsystem that kernel is shutting down in preparation to kexec a kernel.

* | [S390] kdump: Add infrastructure for unmapping crashkernel memoryMichael Holzheu2011-10-301-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a mechanism that allows architecture backends to remove page tables for the crashkernel memory. This can protect the loaded kdump kernel from being overwritten by broken kernel code. Two new functions crash_map_reserved_pages() and crash_unmap_reserved_pages() are added that can be implemented by architecture code. The crash_map_reserved_pages() function is called before and crash_unmap_reserved_pages() after the crashkernel segments are loaded. The functions are also called in crash_shrink_memory() to create/remove page tables when the crashkernel memory size is reduced. To support architectures that have large pages this patch also introduces a new define KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN. The crashkernel start and size must always be aligned with KEXEC_CRASH_MEM_ALIGN.

It implements the following features: - Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after kexec. - Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec. The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in physical mode (paging turning off). This can be used to call BIOS code under Linux. kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL: source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2 patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2 binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10 Usage example of calling some physical mode code and return: 1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected: CONFIG_X86_32=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y 2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one. 3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode" 4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1. 5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command line can be as follow: /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode 6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line: /sbin/kexec -e Implementation point: To support jumping without reserving memory. One shadow backup page (source page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination page). When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped. Before jumping to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped too. C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between kernel and called code. A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back. Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

* Extended crashkernel command lineBernhard Walle2007-10-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a extended crashkernel syntax that makes the value of reserved system RAM dependent on the system RAM itself: crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...][@offset] range=start-[end] For example: crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M The motivation comes from distributors that configure their crashkernel command line automatically with some configuration tool (YaST, you know ;)). Of course that tool knows the value of System RAM, but if the user removes RAM, then the system becomes unbootable or at least unusable and error handling is very difficult. This series implements this change for i386, x86_64, ia64, ppc64 and sh. That should be all platforms that support kdump in current mainline. I tested all platforms except sh due to the lack of a sh processor. This patch: This is the generic part of the patch. It adds a parse_crashkernel() function in kernel/kexec.c that is called by the architecture specific code that actually reserves the memory. That function takes the whole command line and looks itself for "crashkernel=" in it. If there are multiple occurrences, then the last one is taken. The advantage is that if you have a bootloader like lilo or elilo which allows you to append a command line parameter but not to remove one (like in GRUB), then you can add another crashkernel value for testing at the boot command line and this one overwrites the command line in the configuration then.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. (http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.0/1806.html) Dan Aloni created the patch set for the above implementation.

* kdump/kexec: calculate note size at compile timeSimon Horman2007-05-081-1/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the size of the per-cpu region reserved to save crash notes is set by the per-architecture value MAX_NOTE_BYTES. Which in turn is currently set to 1024 on all supported architectures. While testing ia64 I recently discovered that this value is in fact too small. The particular setup I was using actually needs 1172 bytes. This lead to very tedious failure mode where the tail of one elf note would overwrite the head of another if they ended up being alocated sequentially by kmalloc, which was often the case. It seems to me that a far better approach is to caclculate the size that the area needs to be. This patch does just that. If a simpler stop-gap patch for ia64 to be squeezed into 2.6.21(.X) is needed then this should be as easy as making MAX_NOTE_BYTES larger in arch/asm-ia64/kexec.h. Perhaps 2048 would be a good choice. However, I think that the approach in this patch is a much more robust idea.

* | [PATCH] Kexec / Kdump: Unify elf note codeMagnus Damm2006-12-071-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The elf note saving code is currently duplicated over several architectures. This cleanup patch simply adds code to a common file and then replaces the arch-specific code with calls to the newly added code. The only drawback with this approach is that s390 doesn't fully support kexec-on-panic which for that arch leads to introduction of unused code.

* [PATCH] Add a sysfs file to determine if a kexec kernel is loadedJeff Moyer2006-06-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Create two files in /sys/kernel, kexec_loaded and kexec_crash_loaded. Each file contains a simple boolean value indicating whether the relevant kernel has been loaded into memory. The motivation for this is geared around support.
