While initrd, elfcorehdr and backup regions are already added to the
reserve map, there are a few missing regions that need to be added to
the memory reserve map. Add them here. And now that all the changes
to load panic kernel are in place, claim likewise.

Though kdump kernel boots from loaded address, the first 64K bytes
of it is copied down to real 0. So, setup a backup region to copy
the first 64K bytes of crashed kernel, in purgatory, before booting
into kdump kernel. Also, update reserve map with backup region and
crashed kernel's memory to
To avoid any weird errors, the purgatory should run with its own
stack. Set one up by adding the stack buffer to .data section of
the purgatory.

Right now purgatory implementation is only minimal. But if purgatory
code is to be enhanced to copy memory to the backup region and verify
sha256 digest, relocations may have to be applied to the purgatory.
So, add support to relocate purgatory in kexec_file_load system call
by setting up TOC
Kdump kernel, used for capturing the kernel core image, is supposed
to use only specific memory regions to avoid corrupting the image to
be captured. The regions are crashkernel range - the memory reserved
explicitly for kdump kernel, memory used for the tce-table, the OPAL
region and RTAS region
Currently, numa & prom are the users of drmem lmb walk code. Loading
kdump with kexec_file also needs to walk the drmem LMBs to setup the
usable memory ranges for kdump kernel. But there are couple of issues
in using the code as is. One, walk_drmem_lmb() code is built into the
.init section
This patch series enables kdump support for kexec_file_load system
call (kexec -s -p) on PPC64. The changes are inspired from kexec-tools
code but heavily modified for kernel consumption. There is scope to
expand purgatory to verify sha digest but tried to keep purgatory

An extra count on ebb_state.stats.pmc_count[PMC_INDEX(pmc)] is being per-
formed when count_pmc() is used to reset PMCs on a few selftests. This
extra pmc_count can occasionally invalidate results, such as the ones from
cycles_test shown hereafter. The ebb_check_count() failed with an above

Make GTSE an MMU feature and enable it by default for radix.
However for guest, conditionally enable it if hypervisor supports
it via OV5 vector. Let prom_init ask for radix GTSE only if the
support exists.
Having GTSE as an MMU feature will make it easy to enable radix
without GTSE. Currently
H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL asks for GTSE by default. GTSE flag bit should
be set only when GTSE is supported.

This patchset add cpu hotplug support for hv_24x7 driver by adding
online/offline cpu hotplug function. It also add sysfs file
"cpumask" to expose current online cpu that can be used for
hv_24x7 event count.
Changelog:
v2 -> v3
- Corrected some of the typo mistakes and update commit message
as
Patch here adds a cpumask attr to hv_24x7 pmu along with ABI documentation.
Primary use to expose the cpumask is for the perf tool which has the
capability to parse the driver sysfs folder and understand the
cpumask file. Having cpumask file will reduce the number of perf command
line parameters
Patch here adds cpu hotplug functions to hv_24x7 pmu.
A new cpuhp_state "CPUHP_AP_PERF_POWERPC_HV_24x7_ONLINE" enum
is added.
The online callback function updates the cpumask only if its
empty. As the primary intention of adding hotplug support
is to designate a CPU to make HCALL to collect the
