[PATCH v23 2/8] crash: add generic infrastructure for crash hotplug support

[Eric DeVolder]

To support crash hotplug, a mechanism is needed to update the crash
elfcorehdr upon CPU or memory changes (eg. hot un/plug or off/
onlining). The crash elfcorehdr describes the CPUs and memory to
be written into the vmcore.

To track CPU changes, callbacks are registered with the cpuhp
mechanism via cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls(CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN). The
crash hotplug elfcorehdr update has no explicit ordering requirement
(relative to other cpuhp states), so meets the criteria for
utilizing CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN. CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN is a dynamic
state and avoids the need to introduce a new state for crash
hotplug. Also, CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN is the last state in the PREPARE
group, just prior to the STARTING group, which is very close to the
CPU starting up in a plug/online situation, or stopping in a unplug/
offline situation. This minimizes the window of time during an
actual plug/online or unplug/offline situation in which the
elfcorehdr would be inaccurate. Note that for a CPU being unplugged
or offlined, the CPU will still be present in the list of CPUs
generated by crash_prepare_elf64_headers(). However, there is no
need to explicitly omit the CPU, see justification in
'crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu()'.

To track memory changes, a notifier is registered to capture the
memblock MEM_ONLINE and MEM_OFFLINE events via register_memory_notifier().

The CPU callbacks and memory notifiers invoke crash_handle_hotplug_event()
which performs needed tasks and then dispatches the event to the
architecture specific arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event() to update the
elfcorehdr with the current state of CPUs and memory. During the
process, the kexec_lock is held.
