Hi, Boris,
About this, maybe I should describe the more details.
For kdump, the elf header finally use the crash kernel reserved memory, it is
not an old memory.
When we load the crash kernel image, kexec tools will copy the elf header from
encrypted memory
region to unencrypted memory region, we know that a page of memory that is
marked encrypted will
be automatically decrypted when read from DRAM if SME is enabled. This
operation make us get the
plaintext, that is to say, it becomes unencrypted data, so we need to remap the
elfcorehdr in un-
encrypted manners in kdump kernel, but elf notes use an old memory, it is
encrypted. That is the
real reason why we need to use the different
functions(ioremap_cache/ioremap_encrypted).
If the elf core header is set to be encrypted, we could need to know which part
of memory is
allocated for the elfcorehdr in kernel space and change the page attribute,
maybe which will have
to modify another common codes and kexec-tools.
If you agree with my explanation, i will add them to patch log and also post it
again.
Welcome to review my patches again.
Thanks.
