Subject: [PATCH v11 3/5] arm64: kdump: reimplement crashkernel=X
There are following issues in arm64 kdump:
1. We use crashkernel=X to reserve crashkernel below 4G, which
will fail when there is no enough low memory.
2. If reserving crashkernel above 4G, in this case, crash dump
kernel will boot failure because there is no low memory available
for allocation.
3. Since commit 1a8e1cef7603 ("arm64: use both ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32"),
if the memory reserved for crash dump kernel falled in ZONE_DMA32,
the devices in crash dump kernel need to use ZONE_DMA will alloc
fail.
To solve these issues, change the behavior of crashkernel=X.
crashkernel=X tries low allocation in ZONE_DMA, and fall back to
high allocation if it fails.
If requized size X is too large and leads to very little free memory
in ZONE_DMA after low allocation, the system may not work normally.
So add a threshold and go for high allocation directly if the required
size is too large. The value of threshold is set as the half of
the low memory.
If crash_base is outside ZONE_DMA, try to allocate at least 256M in
ZONE_DMA automatically. "crashkernel=Y,low" can be used to allocate
specified size low memory.
For non-RPi4 platforms, change ZONE_DMA memtioned above to ZONE_DMA32.
Another minor change, there may be two regions reserved for crash
dump kernel, in order to distinct from the high region and make no
effect to the use of existing kexec-tools, rename the low region as
"Crash kernel (low)".
