In a RISC-V kernel, crashdump needs to hand off execution to the crash
kernel after tearing down the current kernel address space. However,
under virtualization the guest uses two-stage address translation, PC
does not jump to stvec after setting satp to zero.
This patch set introduces a dedicated kexec trampoline text section and
builds a minimal trampoline page table for it. The crash handoff is then
reworked into a two-pass trampoline:
1. First enter via the kernel VA, install the trampoline page table,
and jump to the trampoline VA(=PA) of the norelocate code;
2. Continue execution with trampoline VA(=PA) and directly jump to the
crash kernel entry point with jr, instead of depending on a stvec
redirection.
With this, crashdump in RISC-V guests becomes robust against the
two-stage translation.
Fangyu Yu (4):
riscv: Add kexec trampoline text section to vmlinux.lds.S
riscv: kexec: Place norelocate trampoline into .kexec.tramp.text
riscv: kexec: Build trampoline page tables for crash kernel entry
riscv: kexec: Switch to trampoline page table before norelocate
