Commit Message

Sourabh Jain Dec. 4, 2023, 5:32 a.m. UTC 
The commit a72bbec70da2 ("crash: hotplug support for kexec_load()")
introduced a new kexec flag, `KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR`. Kexec tool uses
this flag to indicate kernel that it is safe to modify the elfcorehdr
of kdump image loaded using kexec_load system call.

Similarly, add a new kexec flag, `KEXEC_UPDATE_FDT`, for another kdump
component named FDT (Flatten Device Tree). Architectures like PowerPC
need to update FDT kdump image component on CPU hotplug events. Kexec
tool passing `KEXEC_UPDATE_FDT` will be an indication to kernel that FDT
segment is not part of SHA calculation hence it is safe to update it.

With the `KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR` and `KEXEC_UPDATE_FDT` kexec flags,
crash hotplug support can be added to PowerPC for the kexec_load syscall
while maintaining the backward compatibility with older kexec tools that
do not have these newly introduced flags.
