Subject: [PATCH v14 7/7] x86/crash: add x86 crash hotplug support
When CPU or memory is hot un/plugged, the crash elfcorehdr, which
describes the CPUs and memory in the system, must also be updated.
A new elfcorehdr is generated from the available CPUs and memory
into a buffer, and then installed over the top of the existing
elfcorehdr. The segment containing the elfcorehdr is identified
at run time in crash_core:handle_hotplug_event(), which works for
both the kexec_load() and kexec_file_load() syscalls.
In the patch 'kexec: exclude elfcorehdr from the segment digest'
the need to update purgatory due to the change in elfcorehdr was
eliminated. As a result, no changes to purgatory or boot_params
(as the elfcorehdr= kernel command line parameter pointer
remains unchanged and correct) are needed, just elfcorehdr.
To accommodate a growing number of resources via hotplug, the
elfcorehdr segment must be sufficiently large enough to accommodate
changes, see the CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES description.
