Subject: [PATCH v3 5/9] riscv: kexec: Build trampoline page tables for crash kernel entry
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 21:24:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604132418.15725-6-fangyu.yu@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260604132418.15725-1-fangyu.yu@linux.alibaba.com>
From: Fangyu Yu <fangyu.yu@linux.alibaba.com>
Crash kexec uses riscv_kexec_norelocate as a trampoline to jump into
the crashkernel. Pre-build dedicated 4 KB page tables in
machine_kexec_prepare() that map the trampoline page as executable,
so the panic path only has to switch satp and jump.
Two mappings are installed into a shared pgd:
- VA(__kexec_tramp_text_start) -> PA(__kexec_tramp_text_start)
- PA(__kexec_tramp_text_start) -> PA(__kexec_tramp_text_start)
The lower-level tables (p4d/pud/pmd/pte) are shared between both
mappings; map_tramp_page() walks the existing tree and only
populates entries that are still zero, so the two installs coexist
even when their indices happen to collide at any level.
