Eric DeVolder a72bbec70d crash: hotplug support for kexec_load()
The hotplug support for kexec_load() requires changes to the userspace
kexec-tools and a little extra help from the kernel.

Given a kdump capture kernel loaded via kexec_load(), and a subsequent
hotplug event, the crash hotplug handler finds the elfcorehdr and rewrites
it to reflect the hotplug change.  That is the desired outcome, however,
at kernel panic time, the purgatory integrity check fails (because the
elfcorehdr changed), and the capture kernel does not boot and no vmcore is
generated.

Therefore, the userspace kexec-tools/kexec must indicate to the kernel
that the elfcorehdr can be modified (because the kexec excluded the
elfcorehdr from the digest, and sized the elfcorehdr memory buffer
appropriately).

To facilitate hotplug support with kexec_load():
 - a new kexec flag KEXEC_UPATE_ELFCOREHDR indicates that it is
   safe for the kernel to modify the kexec_load()'d elfcorehdr
 - the /sys/kernel/crash_elfcorehdr_size node communicates the
   preferred size of the elfcorehdr memory buffer
 - The sysfs crash_hotplug nodes (ie.
   /sys/devices/system/[cpu|memory]/crash_hotplug) dynamically
   take into account kexec_file_load() vs kexec_load() and
   KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR.
   This is critical so that the udev rule processing of crash_hotplug
   is all that is needed to determine if the userspace unload-then-load
   of the kdump image is to be skipped, or not. The proposed udev
   rule change looks like:
   # The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes
   SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
   SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"

The table below indicates the behavior of kexec_load()'d kdump image
updates (with the new udev crash_hotplug rule in place):

 Kernel |Kexec
 -------+-----+----
 Old    |Old  |New
        |  a  | a
 -------+-----+----
 New    |  a  | b
 -------+-----+----

where kexec 'old' and 'new' delineate kexec-tools has the needed
modifications for the crash hotplug feature, and kernel 'old' and 'new'
delineate the kernel supports this crash hotplug feature.

Behavior 'a' indicates the unload-then-reload of the entire kdump image. 
For the kexec 'old' column, the unload-then-reload occurs due to the
missing flag KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR.  An 'old' kernel (with 'new' kexec)
does not present the crash_hotplug sysfs node, which leads to the
unload-then-reload of the kdump image.

Behavior 'b' indicates the desired optimized behavior of the kernel
directly modifying the elfcorehdr and avoiding the unload-then-reload of
the kdump image.

If the udev rule is not updated with crash_hotplug node check, then no
matter any combination of kernel or kexec is new or old, the kdump image
continues to be unload-then-reload on hotplug changes.

To fully support crash hotplug feature, there needs to be a rollout of
kernel, kexec-tools and udev rule changes.  However, the order of the
rollout of these pieces does not matter; kexec_load()'d kdump images still
function for hotplug as-is.
