kexec-tools
Hello, Can you provide any help on this issue? Thanks, Satish. -- Forwarded message -- From: Satish Kagathara Date: Thu, Nov 25, 2010 at 5:55 PM Subject: kexec-tools To: ho...@verge.net.au Hello, I am using kexec-tools to launch Windows XP from linux using grub4dos. I have two different platforms. It works fine on Intel Core 2 Duo 3GHz. It does not fully work on Intel P4 3 GHz. It seems that grub4dos is not able to find any drive. If you run geometry or chainloader +1 from grub4dos, it says Disk Read Error or Specified Disk does not exist. Can you shed any light on why kexec does not work on 2nd platform? Does it require some specific CPU or BIOS? Any help/suggestions would be very useful for me. Thank you, Satish. ___ kexec mailing list kexec@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec

This version of the struct has 8-byte alignment for properties whose value is 8 or more bytes.

[ANNOUNCE] kexec-tools 2.0.10-rc1
Hi all, I am happy to announce the release of kexec-tools 2.0.10-rc1. This is a bug-fix pre-release. So long as no serious problems arise I intend to release 2.0.10 around the same time as the v4.1 kernel release, which I expect to occur in the next week or so. As such testing of 2.0.10-rc1 would be greatly appreciated. I do not have any outstanding changes for 2.0.10 at this time. And I would like to only accept bug fixes at this time and take take features patches once 2.0.10 has been released.

Simon, thanks for the new release. We updated Fedora kexec-tools to 2.0.9, plan to move to 2.0.10 soon.

kdump in upstream kexec-tools
Hi, I was working on improving documentation/structure of the upstream kexec-tools and I was wondering what is the purpose of the 'kdump' directory inside the kexec-tools. This kdump utility seems to cause confusion with the 'kdump' utility present inside some distributions (for e.g. '/usr/sbin/kdump' present inside fedora) due to the same naming convention and so we should populate/modify the kdump man page to indicate the same, so as to avoid confusion. Presently here are the contents of this directory: # ls kdump/ kdump.8 kdump.c Makefile - Out of these the kdump man documentation (kdump.8) is just a placeholder as suggested by the man page documentation: "kdump - This is just a placeholder until real man page has been written" - Looking at kdump.c : 1. I understand that this code is mainly used to read a crashdump from memory. One can run the same using: # kdump where start_addr is basically the start address of the core dump (which can also be represented via the 'elfcorehdr' environment variable being passed to the crash kernel which represents the physical address of the start of the ELF header) 2. This tool needs READ_ONLY access to /dev/mem (so we need to set CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM configuration option accordingly). 3. The code thereafter reads (via mmap) and verifies the ELF header. Subsequently it reads (via mmap) the program header. 4. Then we collect all the notes and write on STDOUT all the headers and notes found in the crashdump collected from memory. So, as per my understanding even in absence of (more powerful) tools like crash (or gdb), we can still go ahead and read the crashdump from memory and display all the headers and notes present in the same on standard serial out interface using this kdump utility. This is probably a good to have feature for systems which have very simple/minimal rootfs (and I see that a few arm32 systems seem to use the same as well) or are low on memory availability. Now, I wanted to confirm if the 'kdump' utility for reading crashdump collected from memory is still needed (as the last commit is dated back to 2016 and was done for arm32 systems). If yes, I can go ahead and enhance the kdump man page to include the description given above - so that it helps users understand how to run the tool. Please share your opinions.

kexec-tools and multiboot breakage
Hi Simon, When you get a moment, please check out http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=735360 Quick summary: If your kernel is configured to protect the first few pages of physical memory, then low memory doesn't start at location 0 --- so when scanning the memory ranges from /proc/iomem, the code in kexec/arch/i386/kexec-multiboot-x86.c never fills in mem_lower. I think it's safe to assume that if a memory segment starts at 64k or lower, it can be extended to location 0 because of the kernel protection on a PC99-style architecture.

More frequent kexec-tools releases
Hi All, Just now we were discussing that fedora kexec-tools should rebase to upstream kexec-tools every release so that we can test the latest code sooner. Then Dave Young pulled in some data about the kexec-tools release duration. Date: Tue Mar 19 10:46:46 2013 +0900 kexec-tools 2.0.4 ~100 commits Date: Mon Jan 16 09:15:25 2012 +1100 kexec-tools 2.0.3 ~100 commits Date: Thu Jul 29 13:40:00 2010 +0900 kexec-tools 2.0.2 ~80 commits Date: Thu Aug 13 09:28:08 2009 +1000 kexec-tools 2.0.1 ~60 commits Date: Sat Jul 19 10:31:30 2008 +1000 kexec-tools 2.0.0 So that is 5 release in 5.5 years. It is roughly 1 release per year. I am wondering if there is any interest in more frequent releases of kexec-tools. Say every 3 months or every 6 months. IMHO, it might be better if there are more frequent release of kexec-tools (say a release every 6 months) and then every 6 months distributions should be able to rebase to that new release. Thoughts?

kexec-tools support for add_efi_memmap
Hi Simon!
I'm working on supporting linux on a Unisys virtualization platform
called s-Par, and I've put together a patch for kexec-tools that I'd
like to submit. s-Par is an EFI-based virtualization system that splits
up a machine in a way similar to the way Xen does, using a hypervisor,
and we have a virtual EFI environment that runs for each guest
partition. This is a "pure" EFI environment, so it doesn't have a
fully-defined e820 table. To boot linux on our platform, we have to use
the "add_efi_memmap" parameter to fill out the kernel's memory map with
the additional entries from EFI.
This causes problems when we try to kexec, because the kexec loader is
using the /sys/firmware information which is incomplete. It ends up
causing the kernel and initrd to overlap in memory, which of course
doesn't work.
I found some discussion of a similar problem on the LKML - a patch from
Mike Travis, specifically, in a thread called "[Patch 1/1] x86 efi:
insert add_efi_memmap entries into both e820 maps" from May 12, 2010 -
the end of which said that the loader needed work rather than the kernel
being modified.
The patch below checks for the add_efi_memmap option in the kernel
command line, and switches to using /proc/iomem instead of /sys/memmap
when the option is found. I think this might fix the general case and I
know it will allow linux to successfully kexec on our platform.
Would you mind taking a look and letting me know what you think? Thanks
in advance. :) If this looks okay to you I'll type up and send a formal
patch email. Sometimes our email system eats patches so if this doesn't
come through cleanly I'll try again with a different account.
