    powerpc/fadump: avoid duplicates in crash memory ranges · a77af552
    Hari Bathini authored
    fadump sets up crash memory ranges to be used for creating PT_LOAD
    program headers in elfcore header. Memory chunk RMA_START through
    boot memory area size is added as the first memory range because
    firmware, at the time of crash, moves this memory chunk to different
    location specified during fadump registration making it necessary to
    create a separate program header for it with the correct offset.
    This memory chunk is skipped while setting up the remaining memory
    ranges. But currently, there is possibility that some of this memory
    may have duplicate entries like when it is hot-removed and added
    again. Ensure that no two memory ranges represent the same memory.
    
    When 5 lmbs are hot-removed and then hot-plugged before registering
    fadump, here is how the program headers in /proc/vmcore exported by
    fadump look like
    
    without this change:
    
      Program Headers:
        Type           Offset             VirtAddr           PhysAddr
                       FileSiz            MemSiz              Flags  Align
        NOTE           0x0000000000010000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000
                       0x0000000000001894 0x0000000000001894         0
        LOAD           0x0000000000021020 0xc000000000000000 0x0000000000000000
                       0x0000000040000000 0x0000000040000000  RWE    0
        LOAD           0x0000000040031020 0xc000000000000000 0x0000000000000000
                       0x0000000010000000 0x0000000010000000  RWE    0
        LOAD           0x0000000050040000 0xc000000010000000 0x0000000010000000
                       0x0000000050000000 0x0000000050000000  RWE    0
        LOAD           0x00000000a0040000 0xc000000060000000 0x0000000060000000
