Convert vmf->page to a folio as soon as we're going to use it. This fixes a bug if the fault handler returns a tail page with hardware poison; tail pages have an invalid page->index, so we would fail to unmap the page from the page tables. We actually have to unmap the entire folio (or mapping_evict_folio() will fail), so use unmap_mapping_folio() instead. This also saves various calls to compound_head() hidden in lock_page(), put_page(), etc. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231108182809.602073-3-willy@infradead.org Fixes: 793917d9 ("mm/readahead: Add large folio readahead") Signed-off-by:

Patch series "Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages". Since introducing the ability to have large folios in the page cache, it's been possible to have a hwpoisoned tail page returned from the fault handler. We handle this situation poorly; failing to remove the affected page from use. This isn't a minimal patch to fix it, it's a full conversion of all the code surrounding it. This patch (of 6): invalidate_inode_page() does very little beyond calling mapping_evict_folio(). Move the check for mapping being NULL into mapping_evict_folio() and make it available to the rest of the MM for use in the next few patches.

Patch series "Make folio_start_writeback return void". Most of the folio flag-setting functions return void. folio_start_writeback is gratuitously different; the only two filesystems that do anything with the return value emit debug messages if it's already set, and we can (and should) do that internally without bothering the filesystem to do it. This patch (of 4): There are no more callers of this wrapper.

Patch series "Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()". I'm trying to make it easier for filesystems with tailpacking / stuffing / inline data to use folios. The primary function here is folio_fill_tail(). You give it a pointer to memory where the data currently is, and it takes care of copying it into the folio at that offset. That works for gfs2 & iomap. Then There's Ext4. Rather than gin up some kind of specialist "Here's a two pointers to two blocks of memory" routine, just let it do its current thing, and let it call folio_zero_tail(), which is also called by folio_fill_tail(). Other filesystems can be converted later; these ones seemed like good examples as they're already partly or completely converted to folios. This patch (of 3): Instead of unmapping the folio after copying the data to it, then mapping it again to zero the tail, provide folio_zero_tail() to zero the tail of an already-mapped folio.

The PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl returns information regarding page table entries. It is more efficient compared to reading pagemap files. CRIU can start to utilize this ioctl, but it needs info about soft-dirty bits to track memory changes. We are aware of a new method for tracking memory changes implemented in the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl. For CRIU, the primary advantage of this method is its usability by unprivileged users. However, it is not feasible to transparently replace the soft-dirty tracker with the new one. The main problem here is userfault descriptors that have to be preserved between pre-dump iterations. It means criu continues supporting the soft-dirty method to avoid breakage for current users. The new method will be implemented as a separate feature.

The MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY flag for hotplugged memory is restricted to 'memblock_size' chunks of memory being added. Adding a larger span of memory precludes memmap_on_memory semantics. For users of hotplug such as kmem, large amounts of memory might get added from the CXL subsystem. In some cases, this amount may exceed the available 'main memory' to store the memmap for the memory being added. In this case, it is useful to have a way to place the memmap on the memory being added, even if it means splitting the addition into memblock-sized chunks. Change add_memory_resource() to loop over memblock-sized chunks of memory if caller requested memmap_on_memory, and if other conditions for it are met. Teach try_remove_memory() to also expect that a memory range being removed might have been split up into memblock sized chunks, and to loop through those as needed. This does preclude being able to use PUD mappings in the direct map; a proposal to how this could be optimized in the future is laid out here[1].

Patch series "mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem", v10. The dax/kmem driver can potentially hot-add large amounts of memory originating from CXL memory expanders, or NVDIMMs, or other 'device memories'. There is a chance there isn't enough regular system memory available to fit the memmap for this new memory. It's therefore desirable, if all other conditions are met, for the kmem managed memory to place its memmap on the newly added memory itself. The main hurdle for accomplishing this for kmem is that memmap_on_memory can only be done if the memory being added is equal to the size of one memblock. To overcome this, allow the hotplug code to split an add_memory() request into memblock-sized chunks, and try_remove_memory() to also expect and handle such a scenario. Patch 1 replaces an open-coded kmemdup() Patch 2 teaches the memory_hotplug code to allow for splitting add_memory() and remove_memory() requests over memblock sized chunks. Patch 3 allows the dax region drivers to request memmap_on_memory semantics. CXL dax regions default this to 'on', all others default to off to keep existing behavior unchanged. This patch (of 3): A review of the memmap_on_memory modifications to add_memory_resource() revealed an instance of an open-coded kmemdup(). Replace it with kmemdup().

Sanity check that makes sure the nodes cover all memory loops over numa_meminfo to count the pages that have node id assigned by the firmware, then loops again over memblock.memory to find the total amount of memory and in the end checks that the difference between the total memory and memory that covered by nodes is less than some threshold. Worse, the loop over numa_meminfo calls __absent_pages_in_range() that also partially traverses memblock.memory. It's much simpler and more efficient to have a single traversal of memblock.memory that verifies that amount of memory not covered by nodes is less than a threshold. Introduce memblock_validate_numa_coverage() that does exactly that and use it instead of numa_meminfo_cover_memory().

I can observe an obvious tlb flush hotspot when splitting a pte-mapped THP on my ARM64 server, and the distribution of this hotspot is as follows: - 16.85% split_huge_page_to_list + 7.80% down_write - 7.49% try_to_migrate - 7.48% rmap_walk_anon 7.23% ptep_clear_flush + 1.52% __split_huge_page The reason is that the split_huge_page_to_list() will build migration entries for each subpage of a pte-mapped Anon THP by try_to_migrate(), or unmap for file THP, and it will clear and tlb flush for each subpage's pte. Moreover, the split_huge_page_to_list() will set TTU_SPLIT_HUGE_PMD flag to ensure the THP is already a pte-mapped THP before splitting it to some normal pages. Actually, there is no need to flush tlb for each subpage immediately, instead we can batch tlb flush for the pte-mapped THP to improve the performance. After this patch, we can see the batch tlb flush can improve the latency obviously when running thpscale. k6.5-base patched Amean fault-both-1 1071.17 ( 0.00%) 901.83 * 15.81%* Amean fault-both-3 2386.08 ( 0.00%) 1865.32 * 21.82%* Amean fault-both-5 2851.10 ( 0.00%) 2273.84 * 20.25%* Amean fault-both-7 3679.91 ( 0.00%) 2881.66 * 21.69%* Amean fault-both-12 5916.66 ( 0.00%) 4369.55 * 26.15%* Amean fault-both-18 7981.36 ( 0.00%) 6303.57 * 21.02%* Amean fault-both-24 10950.79 ( 0.00%) 8752.56 * 20.07%* Amean fault-both-30 14077.35 ( 0.00%) 10170.01 * 27.76%* Amean fault-both-32 13061.57 ( 0.00%) 11630.08 * 10.96%* Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/431d9fb6823036369dcb1d3b2f63732f01df21a7.1698488264.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.comSigned-off-by:Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> Reviewed-by:

In dup_mmap(), using __mt_dup() to duplicate the old maple tree and then directly replacing the entries of VMAs in the new maple tree can result in better performance. __mt_dup() uses DFS pre-order to duplicate the maple tree, so it is efficient. The average time complexity of __mt_dup() is O(n), where n is the number of VMAs. The proof of the time complexity is provided in the commit log that introduces __mt_dup(). After duplicating the maple tree, each element is traversed and replaced (ignoring the cases of deletion, which are rare). Since it is only a replacement operation for each element, this process is also O(n). Analyzing the exact time complexity of the previous algorithm is challenging because each insertion can involve appending to a node, pushing data to adjacent nodes, or even splitting nodes. The frequency of each action is difficult to calculate. The worst-case scenario for a single insertion is when the tree undergoes splitting at every level. If we consider each insertion as the worst-case scenario, we can determine that the upper bound of the time complexity is O(n*log(n)), although this is a loose upper bound. However, based on the test data, it appears that the actual time complexity is likely to be O(n). As the entire maple tree is duplicated using __mt_dup(), if dup_mmap() fails, there will be a portion of VMAs that have not been duplicated in the maple tree. To handle this, we mark the failure point with XA_ZERO_ENTRY. In exit_mmap(), if this marker is encountered, stop releasing VMAs that have not been duplicated after this point. There is a "spawn" in byte-unixbench[1], which can be used to test the performance of fork(). I modified it slightly to make it work with different number of VMAs. Below are the test results. The first row shows the number of VMAs. The second and third rows show the number of fork() calls per ten seconds, corresponding to next-20231006 and the this patchset, respectively. The test results were obtained with CPU binding to avoid scheduler load balancing that could cause unstable results. There are still some fluctuations in the test results, but at least they are better than the original performance. 21 121 221 421 821 1621 3221 6421 12821 25621 51221 112100 76261 54227 34035 20195 11112 6017 3161 1606 802 393 114558 83067 65008 45824 28751 16072 8922 4747 2436 1233 599 2.19% 8.92% 19.88% 34.64% 42.37% 44.64% 48.28% 50.17% 51.68% 53.74% 52.42% [1] https://github.com/kdlucas/byte-unixbench/tree/master Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231027033845.90608-11-zhangpeng.00@bytedance.comSigned-off-by:

Introduce interfaces __mt_dup() and mtree_dup(), which are used to duplicate a maple tree. They duplicate a maple tree in Depth-First Search (DFS) pre-order traversal. It uses memcopy() to copy nodes in the source tree and allocate new child nodes in non-leaf nodes. The new node is exactly the same as the source node except for all the addresses stored in it. It will be faster than traversing all elements in the source tree and inserting them one by one into the new tree. The time complexity of these two functions is O(n). The difference between __mt_dup() and mtree_dup() is that mtree_dup() handles locks internally. Analysis of the average time complexity of this algorithm: For simplicity, let's assume that the maximum branching factor of all non-leaf nodes is 16 (in allocation mode, it is 10), and the tree is a full tree. Under the given conditions, if there is a maple tree with n elements, the number of its leaves is n/16. From bottom to top, the number of nodes in each level is 1/16 of the number of nodes in the level below. So the total number of nodes in the entire tree is given by the sum of n/16 + n/16^2 + n/16^3 + ... + 1. This is a geometric series, and it has log(n) terms with base 16. According to the formula for the sum of a geometric series, the sum of this series can be calculated as (n-1)/15. Each node has only one parent node pointer, which can be considered as an edge. In total, there are (n-1)/15-1 edges. This algorithm consists of two operations: 1. Traversing all nodes in DFS order. 2. For each node, making a copy and performing necessary modifications to create a new node. For the first part, DFS traversal will visit each edge twice. Let T(ascend) represent the cost of taking one step downwards, and T(descend) represent the cost of taking one step upwards. And both of them are constants (although mas_ascend() may not be, as it contains a loop, but here we ignore it and treat it as a constant). So the time spent on the first part can be represented as ((n-1)/15-1) * (T(ascend) + T(descend)). For the second part, each node will be copied, and the cost of copying a node is denoted as T(copy_node). For each non-leaf node, it is necessary to reallocate all child nodes, and the cost of this operation is denoted as T(dup_alloc). The behavior behind memory allocation is complex and not specific to the maple tree operation. Here, we assume that the time required for a single allocation is constant. Since the size of a node is fixed, both of these symbols are also constants. We can calculate that the time spent on the second part is ((n-1)/15) * T(copy_node) + ((n-1)/15 - n/16) * T(dup_alloc). Adding both parts together, the total time spent by the algorithm can be represented as: ((n-1)/15) * (T(ascend) + T(descend) + T(copy_node) + T(dup_alloc)) - n/16 * T(dup_alloc) - (T(ascend) + T(descend)) Let C1 = T(ascend) + T(descend) + T(copy_node) + T(dup_alloc) Let C2 = T(dup_alloc) Let C3 = T(ascend) + T(descend) Finally, the expression can be simplified as: ((16 * C1 - 15 * C2) / (15 * 16)) * n - (C1 / 15 + C3). This is a linear function, so the average time complexity is O(n). Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231027033845.90608-4-zhangpeng.00@bytedance.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "Introduce __mt_dup() to improve the performance of fork()", v7. This series introduces __mt_dup() to improve the performance of fork(). During the duplication process of mmap, all VMAs are traversed and inserted one by one into the new maple tree, causing the maple tree to be rebalanced multiple times. Balancing the maple tree is a costly operation. To duplicate VMAs more efficiently, mtree_dup() and __mt_dup() are introduced for the maple tree. They can efficiently duplicate a maple tree. Here are some algorithmic details about {mtree,__mt}_dup(). We perform a DFS pre-order traversal of all nodes in the source maple tree. During this process, we fully copy the nodes from the source tree to the new tree. This involves memory allocation, and when encountering a new node, if it is a non-leaf node, all its child nodes are allocated at once. This idea was originally from Liam R. Howlett's Maple Tree Work email, and I added some of my own ideas to implement it. Some previous discussions can be found in [1]. For a more detailed analysis of the algorithm, please refer to the logs for patch [3/10] and patch [10/10]. There is a "spawn" in byte-unixbench[2], which can be used to test the performance of fork(). I modified it slightly to make it work with different number of VMAs. Below are the test results.

There are still some fluctuations in the test results, but at least they are better than the original performance. 21 121 221 421 821 1621 3221 6421 12821 25621 51221 112100 76261 54227 34035 20195 11112 6017 3161 1606 802 393 114558 83067 65008 45824 28751 16072 8922 4747 2436 1233 599 2.19% 8.92% 19.88% 34.64% 42.37% 44.64% 48.28% 50.17% 51.68% 53.74% 52.42% Thanks to Liam and Matthew for the review.

Demotion will migrate pages across nodes. Previously, only the global demotion statistics were accounted for. Changed them to per-node statistics, making it easier to observe where demotion occurs on each node. This will help to identify which nodes are under pressure. This patch also make pgdemote_* behind CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING, since demotion is not available for !CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING With this patch, here is a sample where node0 node1 are DRAM, node3 is PMEM: Global stats: $ grep demote /proc/vmstat pgdemote_kswapd 254288 pgdemote_direct 113497 pgdemote_khugepaged 0 Per-node stats: $ grep demote /sys/devices/system/node/node0/vmstat # demotion source pgdemote_kswapd 68454 pgdemote_direct 83431 pgdemote_khugepaged 0 $ grep demote /sys/devices/system/node/node1/vmstat # demotion source pgdemote_kswapd 185834 pgdemote_direct 30066 pgdemote_khugepaged 0 $ grep demote /sys/devices/system/node/node3/vmstat # demotion target pgdemote_kswapd 0 pgdemote_direct 0 pgdemote_khugepaged 0 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231103031450.1456523-1-lizhijian@fujitsu.comSigned-off-by:

I conducted real-time testing and observed that madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() causes significant latency under memory pressure, which can be effectively reduced by adding cond_resched() within the loop. I tested on the LicheePi 4A board using Cylictest for latency testing and Ftrace for latency tracing. The board uses TH1520 processor and has a memory size of 8GB. The kernel version is 6.5.0 with the PREEMPT_RT patch applied. The script I tested is as follows: echo wakeup_rt > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_max_latency stress-ng --vm 8 --vm-bytes 2G & cyclictest --mlockall --smp --priority=99 --distance=0 --duration=30m echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace The tracing results before modification are as follows: # tracer: wakeup_rt # # wakeup_rt latency trace v1.1.5 on 6.5.0-rt6-r1208-00003-g999d221864bf # -------------------------------------------------------------------- # latency: 2552 us, #6/6, CPU#3 | (M:preempt_rt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4) # ----------------- # | task: cyclictest-196 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:1 rt_prio:99) # ----------------- # # _--------=> CPU# # / _-------=> irqs-off/BH-disabled # | / _------=> need-resched # || / _-----=> need-resched-lazy # ||| / _----=> hardirq/softirq # |||| / _---=> preempt-depth # ||||| / _--=> preempt-lazy-depth # |||||| / _-=> migrate-disable # ||||||| / delay # cmd pid |||||||| time | caller # \ / |||||||| \ | / stress-n-206 3dn.h512 2us : 206:120:R + [003] 196: 0:R cyclictest stress-n-206 3dn.h512 7us : <stack trace> => __ftrace_trace_stack => __trace_stack => probe_wakeup => ttwu_do_activate => try_to_wake_up => wake_up_process => hrtimer_wakeup => __hrtimer_run_queues => hrtimer_interrupt => riscv_timer_interrupt => handle_percpu_devid_irq => generic_handle_domain_irq => riscv_intc_irq => handle_riscv_irq => do_irq stress-n-206 3dn.h512 9us#: 0 stress-n-206 3d...3.. 2544us : __schedule stress-n-206 3d...3.. 2545us : 206:120:R ==> [003] 196: 0:R cyclictest stress-n-206 3d...3.. 2551us : <stack trace> => __ftrace_trace_stack => __trace_stack => probe_wakeup_sched_switch => __schedule => preempt_schedule => migrate_enable => rt_spin_unlock => madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range => walk_pgd_range => __walk_page_range => walk_page_range => madvise_pageout => madvise_vma_behavior => do_madvise => sys_madvise => do_trap_ecall_u => ret_from_exception The tracing results after modification are as follows: # tracer: wakeup_rt # # wakeup_rt latency trace v1.1.5 on 6.5.0-rt6-r1208-00004-gca3876fc69a6-dirty # -------------------------------------------------------------------- # latency: 1689 us, #6/6, CPU#0 | (M:preempt_rt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4) # ----------------- # | task: cyclictest-217 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:1 rt_prio:99) # ----------------- # # _--------=> CPU# # / _-------=> irqs-off/BH-disabled # | / _------=> need-resched # || / _-----=> need-resched-lazy # ||| / _----=> hardirq/softirq # |||| / _---=> preempt-depth # ||||| / _--=> preempt-lazy-depth # |||||| / _-=> migrate-disable # ||||||| / delay # cmd pid |||||||| time | caller # \ / |||||||| \ | / stress-n-232 0dn.h413 1us+: 232:120:R + [000] 217: 0:R cyclictest stress-n-232 0dn.h413 12us : <stack trace> => __ftrace_trace_stack => __trace_stack => probe_wakeup => ttwu_do_activate => try_to_wake_up => wake_up_process => hrtimer_wakeup => __hrtimer_run_queues => hrtimer_interrupt => riscv_timer_interrupt => handle_percpu_devid_irq => generic_handle_domain_irq => riscv_intc_irq => handle_riscv_irq => do_irq stress-n-232 0dn.h413 19us#: 0 stress-n-232 0d...3.. 1671us : __schedule stress-n-232 0d...3.. 1676us+: 232:120:R ==> [000] 217: 0:R cyclictest stress-n-232 0d...3.. 1687us : <stack trace> => __ftrace_trace_stack => __trace_stack => probe_wakeup_sched_switch => __schedule => preempt_schedule => migrate_enable => free_unref_page_list => release_pages => free_pages_and_swap_cache => tlb_batch_pages_flush => tlb_flush_mmu => unmap_page_range => unmap_vmas => unmap_region => do_vmi_align_munmap.constprop.0 => do_vmi_munmap => __vm_munmap => sys_munmap => do_trap_ecall_u => ret_from_exception After the modification, the cause of maximum latency is no longer madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range(), so this modification can reduce the latency caused by madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range(). Currently the madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() function exhibits significant latency under memory pressure, which can be effectively reduced by adding cond_resched() within the loop. When the batch_count reaches SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, we reschedule the task to ensure fairness and avoid long lock holding times.

If nilfs2 reads a disk image with corrupted segment usage metadata, and its segment usage information is marked as an error for the segment at the write location, nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage() can trigger WARN_ONs during log writing. Segments newly allocated for writing with nilfs_sufile_alloc() will not have this error flag set, but this unexpected situation will occur if the segment indexed by either nilfs->ns_segnum or nilfs->ns_nextnum (active segment) was marked in error. Fix this issue by inserting a sanity check to treat it as a file system corruption. Since error returns are not allowed during the execution phase where nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage() is used, this inserts the sanity check into nilfs_sufile_mark_dirty() which pre-reads the buffer containing the segment usage record to be updated and sets it up in a dirty state for writing. In addition, nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage() is also called when canceling log writing and undoing segment usage update, so in order to avoid issuing the same kernel warning in that case, in case of cancellation, avoid checking the error flag in nilfs_sufile_set_segment_usage().

After commit a08c7193 "mm/filemap: remove hugetlb special casing in filemap.c", hugetlb pages are stored in the page cache in base page sized indexes. This leads to multi index stores in the xarray which is only supporting through CONFIG_XARRAY_MULTI. The other page cache user of multi index stores ,THP, selects XARRAY_MULTI. Have CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE follow this behavior as well to avoid the BUG() with a CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE && !CONFIG_XARRAY_MULTI config.

When mounting a filesystem image with a block size larger than the page size, nilfs2 repeatedly outputs long error messages with stack traces to the kernel log, such as the following: getblk(): invalid block size 8192 requested logical block size: 512 ... Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x92/0xd4 dump_stack+0xd/0x10 bdev_getblk+0x33a/0x354 __breadahead+0x11/0x80 nilfs_search_super_root+0xe2/0x704 [nilfs2] load_nilfs+0x72/0x504 [nilfs2] nilfs_mount+0x30f/0x518 [nilfs2] legacy_get_tree+0x1b/0x40 vfs_get_tree+0x18/0xc4 path_mount+0x786/0xa88 __ia32_sys_mount+0x147/0x1a8 __do_fast_syscall_32+0x56/0xc8 do_fast_syscall_32+0x29/0x58 do_SYSENTER_32+0x15/0x18 entry_SYSENTER_32+0x98/0xf1 ... This overloads the system logger. And to make matters worse, it sometimes crashes the kernel with a memory access violation. This is because the return value of the sb_set_blocksize() call, which should be checked for errors, is not checked. The latter issue is due to out-of-buffer memory being accessed based on a large block size that caused sb_set_blocksize() to fail for buffers read with the initial minimum block size that remained unupdated in the super_block structure. Since nilfs2 mkfs tool does not accept block sizes larger than the system page size, this has been overlooked. However, it is possible to create this situation by intentionally modifying the tool or by passing a filesystem image created on a system with a large page size to a system with a smaller page size and mounting it. Fix this issue by inserting the expected error handling for the call to sb_set_blocksize(). Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231129141547.4726-1-konishi.ryusuke@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Ignat Korchagin complained that a potential config regression was introduced by commit 89cde455 ("kexec: consolidate kexec and crash options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec"). Before the commit, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP has no dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. After the commit, CRASH_DUMP selects KEXEC. That enforces system to have CONFIG_KEXEC=y as long as CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=Y which people may not want. In Ignat's case, he sets CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y, CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y and CONFIG_KEXEC=n because kexec_load interface could have security issue if kernel/initrd has no chance to be signed and verified. CRASH_DUMP has select of KEXEC because Eric, author of above commit, met a LKP report of build failure when posting patch of earlier version. Please see below link to get detail of the LKP report: https://lore.kernel.org/all/3e8eecd1-a277-2cfb-690e-5de2eb7b988e@oracle.com/T/#u In fact, that LKP report is triggered because arm's <asm/kexec.h> is wrapped in CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope. That is wrong. CONFIG_KEXEC controls the enabling/disabling of kexec_load interface, but not kexec feature. Removing the wrongly added CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope in <asm/kexec.h> of arm allows us to drop the select KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP. Meanwhile, change arch/arm/kernel/Makefile to let machine_kexec.o relocate_kernel.o depend on KEXEC_CORE.
