Some architectures may have special memory regions, within the given

Some of the kexec_file_load code isn't PPC64 specific. Move PPC64

same spirit. No functional changes.

In kexec case, the kernel to be loaded uses the same memory layout as
the running kernel. So, passing on the DT of the running kernel would
be good enough.
But in case of kdump, different memory ranges are needed to manage
loading the kdump kernel, booting into it and exporting the elfcore
of the
crashkernel region could have an overlap with special memory regions
like opal, rtas, tce-table & such. These regions are referred to as
exclude memory ranges. Setup this ranges during image probe in order
to avoid them while finding the buffer for different kdump segments.

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

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 a
Though kdump kernel boots from loaded address, the first 64KB of it is
copied down to real 0. So, setup a backup region and let purgatory
copy the first 64KB of crashed kernel into this backup region before
booting into kdump kernel. Update reserve map with backup region and
crashed kernel's memory
Prepare elf headers for the crashing kernel's core file using
crash_prepare_elf64_headers() and pass on this info to kdump
kernel by updating its command line with elfcorehdr parameter.
Also, add elfcorehdr location to reserve map to avoid it from
being stomped on while booting.

While initrd, elfcorehdr and backup regions are already added to the

The kexec purgatory has to run in real mode. Only the first memory

The mpc512x-psc is rolling its own chip select control code,
but the SPI master framework can handle this. It was also
evaluating the CS status for each transfer but the CS change
should be per-message not per-transfer.
Switch to use the core .set_cs() to control the chip select.
Cc: Uwe Kleine-K
This driver is already relying on the core to provide
valid GPIO numbers in spi->cs_gpio through
of_spi_get_gpio_numbers(), so we can switch to letting
the core use GPIO descriptors instead.
Make sure that the .set_cs() is always called, as some controller
set-up is also needed.

The size of the CPU affinity mask must be large enough for

We are currently assuming that CEDE(0) has exit latency 10us, since
there is no way for us to query from the platform. However, if the
wakeup latency of an Extended CEDE state is smaller than 10us, then we
can be sure that the exit latency of CEDE(0) cannot be more than
