Hello Eric,

This patch introduces a generic crash hot plug/unplug infrastructure
for CPU and memory changes. Upon CPU and memory changes, a generic
crash_hotplug_handler() obtains the appropriate lock, does some
important house keeping and then dispatches the hot plug/unplug event
to the architecture specific arch_crash_hotplug_handler(), and when
that handler returns, the lock is released.
This patch modifies crash_core.c to implement a subsys_initcall()
function that installs handlers for hot plug/unplug events. If CPU
hotplug is enabled, then cpuhp_setup_state() is invoked to register a
handler for CPU changes. Similarly, if memory hotplug is enabled, then
register_memory_notifier() is invoked to install a handler for memory
changes. These handlers in turn invoke the common generic handler
crash_hotplug_handler().
On the CPU side, cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls() is invoked with parameter
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN. While this works, when a CPU is being unplugged,
the CPU still shows up in foreach_present_cpu() during the regeneration
of the new CPU list, thus the need to explicitly check and exclude the
soon-to-be offlined CPU in crash_prepare_elf64_headers().
On the memory side, each un/plugged memory block passes through the
handler. For example, if a 1GiB DIMM is hotplugged, that generate 8
memory events, one for each 128MiB memblock.

How about keeping an array to track all kexec segment index need to be updated in
crash hotplug handler.
struct hp_segment {
name;
index;
is_valid;
}
It will be helpful if architecture need to updated multiple kexec segments for a hotplug event.
For example, on PowerPC, we might need to update FDT and elfcorehdr on memory hot plug/unplug.
Thanks,
Sourabh Jain
Sourabh,
I'm OK with that. Another idea might be if there are just two, and one of them is elfcorehdr, then
perhaps in addition to elf_index and elf_index_valid, maybe we add an arch_index and
arch_index_valid? In the case of PPC, the FDT would be stored in arch_index?
Either way.
Thanks!
eric
