[PATCH v3] RISC-V: Add fixup to support fast call of crash_kexec()

From: Xianting Tian
Date: Mon Jun 06 2022 - 08:38:02 EST


Currently, almost all archs (x86, arm64, mips...) support fast call
of crash_kexec() when "regs && kexec_should_crash()" is true. But
RISC-V not, it can only enter crash system via panic(). However panic()
doesn't pass the regs of the real accident scene to crash_kexec(),
it caused we can't get accurate backtrace via gdb,
$ riscv64-linux-gnu-gdb vmlinux vmcore
Reading symbols from vmlinux...
[New LWP 95]
#0 console_unlock () at kernel/printk/printk.c:2557
2557 if (do_cond_resched)
(gdb) bt
#0 console_unlock () at kernel/printk/printk.c:2557
#1 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

With the patch we can get the accurate backtrace,
$ riscv64-linux-gnu-gdb vmlinux vmcore
Reading symbols from vmlinux...
[New LWP 95]
#0 0xffffffe00063a4e0 in test_thread (data=<optimized out>) at drivers/test_crash.c:81

#0 0xffffffe00064d5c0 in test_thread (data=<optimized out>) at drivers/test_crash.c:81
#1 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

Test code to produce NULL address dereference in test_crash.c,
void *p = NULL;
*(int *)p = 0xdead;
