[PATCH 2/2] powerpc: Take in account addition CPU node when building kexec FDT

Sat Oct 29 03:00:34 AEDT 2022


On a system with a large number of CPUs, the creation of the FDT for a
kexec kernel may fail because the allocated FDT is not large enough.

When this happens, such a message is displayed on the console:

Unable to add ibm,processor-vadd-size property: FDT_ERR_NOSPACE

The property's name may change depending when the buffer overwrite is
detected.

Obviously the created FDT is missing information, and it is expected that
system dump or kexec kernel failed to run properly.

When the FDT is allocated, the size of the FDT the kernel received at boot
time is used and an extra size can be applied. Currently, only memory added
after boot time is taken in account, not the CPU nodes.

The extra size should take in account these additional CPU nodes and
compute the required extra space. To achieve that, the size of a CPU node,
including its subnode is computed once and multiplied by the number of
additional CPU nodes.

The assumption is that the size of the CPU node is _same_ for all the node,
the only variable part should be the name "PowerPC,POWERxx@##" where "##"
may vary a bit.
