Subject: [PATCH v2] Restore live system crash analysis for ARM64
This v2 version simplifies the copy out of the kimage_voffset value
to user-space per Oleg's suggestion.
Upstream status: N/A
Test: v2 version tested successfully with a modified crash utility
The following Linux 4.6 commit breaks support for live system
crash analysis on ARM64:
commit a7f8de168ace487fa7b88cb154e413cf40e87fc6
Author: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>
arm64: allow kernel Image to be loaded anywhere in physical memory
The patchset drastically modified the kernel's virtual memory layout,
where notably the static kernel text and data image was moved from the
unity mapped region into the vmalloc region. Prior to Linux 4.6,
the kernel's __virt_to_phys() function was this:
#define __virt_to_phys(x) (((phys_addr_t)(x) - PAGE_OFFSET + PHYS_OFFSET))
When running on a live system, the crash utility could determine PAGE_OFFSET
by looking at the virtual addresses compiled into the vmlinux file, and
PHYS_OFFSET can be determined by looking at /proc/iomem.
As of Linux 4.6, it is done differently:
#define __virt_to_phys(x) ({ \
phys_addr_t __x = (phys_addr_t)(x); \
__x & BIT(VA_BITS - 1) ? (__x & ~PAGE_OFFSET) + PHYS_OFFSET : \
(__x - kimage_voffset); })
The PAGE_OFFSET/PHYS_OFFSET section of the conditional expression is for
traditional unity-mapped virtual addresses, but kernel text and static
data requires the new "kimage_voffset" variable. Unfortunately, the
contents of the new "kimage_voffset" variable is not available or
calculatable from a user-space perspective, even with root privileges.
At least the ARM64 developers made its contents available to modules
with an EXPORT_SYMBOL(kimage_voffset) declaration. Accordingly, with
a modification to the /dev/crash driver to return its contents, the
crash utility can run on a live system.
The patch allows for architecture-specific DEV_CRASH_ARCH_DATA ioctls
to be created, where this is the first instance of one.
