If function_graph tracer is enabled during kexec, we see the below
exception in the simulator:
	root@(none):/# kexec -e
	kvm: exiting hardware virtualization
	kexec_core: Starting new kernel
	[   19.262020070,5] OPAL: Switch to big-endian OS
	kexec: Starting switchover sequence.
	Interrupt to 0xC000000000004380 from 0xC000000000004380
	** Execution stopped: Continuous Interrupt, Instruction caused exception,  **

Now that we have a more effective way to completely disable ftrace on
ppc64, let's also use that before switching to a new kernel during
kexec.

After obtaining a property from of_find_property() and before calling
of_remove_property() most code checks to ensure that the property
returned from of_find_property() is not null. The previous patch moved
this check to the start of the function of_remove_property() in order to
avoid the case where this check isn't done and a null value is passed.
This ensures the check is always conducted before taking locks and
attempting to remove the property. Thus it is no longer necessary to
perform a check for null values before invoking of_remove_property().

Update of_remove_property() call sites in order to remove redundant
checking for null property value as check is now performed within the
of_remove_property function().

<title>powerpc: Fix up the kdump base cap to 128M</title>

<id>e641eb03ab2b0f065fa5e64b4202fb5b0441b427</id>
<content type='text'>
The current logic sets the kdump base to min of 2G or ppc64_rma_size/2.
On PowerNV kernel the first memory block 'memory@0' can be very large,
equal to the DIMM size with ppc64_rma_size value capped to 1G. Hence on
PowerNV, kdump base is set to 512M resulting kdump to fail while allocating
paca array. This is because, paca need its memory from RMA region capped
at 256M (see allocate_pacas()).

This patch lowers the kdump base cap to 128M so that kdump kernel can
successfully get memory below 256M for paca allocation.

<title>powerpc/kdump: Adding symbols in vmcoreinfo to facilitate dump filtering</title>

When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP option is used in kernel, makedumpfile fails
to filter vmcore dump as it fails to do vmemmap translations. So far
dump filtering on ppc64 never had to deal with vmemmap addresses seperately
as vmemmap regions where mapped in zone normal. But with the inclusion of
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP config option in kernel, this vmemmap address
translation support becomes necessary for dump filtering. For vmemmap adress
translation, few kernel symbols are needed by dump filtering tool. This patch
adds those symbols to vmcoreinfo, which a dump filtering tool can use for
filtering the kernel dump. Tested this changes successfully with makedumpfile
tool that supports vmemmap to physical address translation outside zone normal.

<title>powerpc: Export memory limit via device tree</title>

The powerpc kernel doesn't export the memory limit enforced by 'mem='
kernel parameter. This is required for building the ELF header in
kexec-tools to limit the vmcore to capture only the used memory. On
powerpc the kexec-tools depends on the device-tree for memory related
information, unlike /proc/iomem on the x86.

Without this information, the kexec-tools assumes the entire System
RAM and vmcore creates an unnecessarily larger dump.

This patch exports the memory limit, if present, via
chosen/linux,memory-limit
property, so that the vmcore can be limited to the memory limit.

The prom_init seems to export this value in the same node. But doesn't
really
appear there.  Also the memory_limit gets adjusted with the processing of
crashkernel= parameter. This patch makes sure we get the actual limit.

The kexec-tools will use the value to limit the 'end' of the memory
regions.

Tested this patch on ppc64 and ppc32(ppc440) with a kexec-tools
patch by Mahesh.
