[PATCH linux-next v3 00/14] Split crash out from kexec and clean up related config items

Motivation:
=============
Previously, LKP reported a building error. When investigating, it can't
be resolved reasonablly with the present messy kdump config items.

 https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/[email protected]/

The kdump (crash dumping) related config items could causes confusions:

Firstly,
---
CRASH_CORE enables codes including
 - crashkernel reservation;
 - elfcorehdr updating;
 - vmcoreinfo exporting;
 - crash hotplug handling;

Now fadump of powerpc, kcore dynamic debugging and kdump all selects
CRASH_CORE, while fadump
 - fadump needs crashkernel parsing, vmcoreinfo exporting, and accessing
   global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr';
 - kcore only needs vmcoreinfo exporting;
 - kdump needs all of the current kernel/crash_core.c.

So only enabling PROC_CORE or FA_DUMP will enable CRASH_CORE, this
mislead people that we enable crash dumping, actual it's not.

Secondly,
---
It's not reasonable to allow KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE.

Because KEXEC_CORE enables codes which allocate control pages, copy
kexec/kdump segments, and prepare for switching. These codes are
shared by both kexec reboot and kdump. We could want kexec reboot,
but disable kdump. In that case, CRASH_CORE should not be selected.

 --------------------
 CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
 CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
 CONFIG_KEXEC=y
 CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
 ---------------------

Thirdly,
---
It's not reasonable to allow CRASH_DUMP select KEXEC_CORE.

That could make KEXEC_CORE, CRASH_DUMP are enabled independently from
KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE. However, w/o KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE, the KEXEC_CORE
code built in doesn't make any sense because no kernel loading or
switching will happen to utilize the KEXEC_CORE code.
 ---------------------
 CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
 CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
 CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
 ---------------------

In this case, what is worse, on arch sh and arm, KEXEC relies on MMU,
while CRASH_DUMP can still be enabled when !MMU, then compiling error is
seen as the lkp test robot reported in above link.

 ------arch/sh/Kconfig------
 config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
         def_bool MMU

 config ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP
         def_bool BROKEN_ON_SMP
 ---------------------------

Changes:
===========
1, split out crash_reserve.c from crash_core.c;
2, split out vmcore_infoc. from crash_core.c;
3, move crash related codes in kexec_core.c into crash_core.c;
4, remove dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP;
5, clean up kdump related config items;
6, wrap up crash codes in crash related ifdefs on all 8 arch-es
   which support crash dumping, except of ppc;

Achievement:
===========
With above changes, I can rearrange the config item logic as below (the right
item depends on or is selected by the left item):

    PROC_KCORE -----------> VMCORE_INFO

               |----------> VMCORE_INFO
    FA_DUMP----|
               |----------> CRASH_RESERVE

                                                    ---->VMCORE_INFO
                                                   /
                                                   |---->CRASH_RESERVE
    KEXEC      --|                                /|
                 |--> KEXEC_CORE--> CRASH_DUMP-->/-|---->PROC_VMCORE
    KEXEC_FILE --|                               \ |
                                                   \---->CRASH_HOTPLUG


    KEXEC      --|
                 |--> KEXEC_CORE (for kexec reboot only)
    KEXEC_FILE --|

Test
========
On all 8 architectures, including x86_64, arm64, s390x, sh, arm, mips,
riscv, loongarch, I did below three cases of config item setting and
building all passed. Take configs on x86_64 as exampmle here:

(1) Both CONFIG_KEXEC and KEXEC_FILE is unset, then all kexec/kdump
items are unset automatically:
# Kexec and crash features
# CONFIG_KEXEC is not set
# CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is not set
# end of Kexec and crash features

(2) set CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE and 'make olddefconfig':
---------------
# Kexec and crash features
CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE=y
CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES=8192
# end of Kexec and crash features
---------------

(3) unset CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP in case 2 and execute 'make olddefconfig':
------------------------
# Kexec and crash features
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
# end of Kexec and crash features
------------------------

Note:
For ppc, it needs investigation to make clear how to split out crash
code in arch folder. Hope Hari and Pingfan can help have a look, see if
it's doable. Now, I make it either have both kexec and crash enabled, or
disable both of them altogether.

Changelog
==========
v2->v3:
- In patch 2, there's conflict when rebasing to linux-next in
  kernel/crash_core.c because of below commits from Uladzislau:
  - commit 699d9351822e ("mm: vmalloc: Fix a warning in the crash_save_vmcoreinfo_init()")
  - commit 5f4c0c1e2a51 (:mm/vmalloc: remove vmap_area_list")
- In patch 13, fix the lkp reported issue by using CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE
  ifdef, giving up the earlier IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE) checking in v2. 
- In patch 14, update code change after below commit merged into
  mainline:
  - commit 78de91b45860 ("LoongArch: Use generic interface to support crashkernel=X,[high,low]")
