From 428a5e99eea929639ab9c761f33743f78a961b1a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jerry Hoemann Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2014 18:09:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kdumpctl: Pass disable_cpu_apicid to kexec of capture kernel == Version 2 == Addresses Vivek's review comments: 1. Don't force numeric in awk script snipet. 2. Command line processing is moved from load_kernel to new function "prepare_cmdline." This new function is responsible for setting up the command line passed to KEXEC. 3. New function "append_cmdline" is added to append {argument,value} pair to command line if argument is not already present. == Version 1 == A recent patch (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/15/42) enables multiple processors in the crash kernel. To do this safely the crash kernel needs to know which CPU was the 1st kernel BSP (bootstrap processor) so that the crash kernel will NOT send the BSP an INIT. If the crash kernel sends an INIT to the 1st kernel BSP, some systems may reset or hang. The EFI spec doesn't require that any particular processor is chosen as the BSP and the CPU (and its apic id) can change from one boot to the next. Hence automating the selection of CPU to disable if the system would panic is desired. This patch updates the kdumpctl script to get the "initial apicid" of CPU 0 in the first kernel and will pass this as the "disable_cpu_apicid=" arguement to kexec if it wasn't explicitly set in /etc/sysconfig/kdump KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND. CPU 0 is chosen as it is the processor thats execute the OS initialization code and hence was the BSP as per x86 SDM (Vol 3a Section 8.4.)
