[v12,13/16] arm64: kdump: add kdump support

On crash dump kernel, all the information about primary kernel's core
image is available in elf core header specified by "elfcorehdr=" boot
parameter. reserve_elfcorehdr() will set aside the region to avoid any
corruption by crash dump kernel.

Crash dump kernel will access the system memory of primary kernel via
copy_oldmem_page(), which reads one page by ioremap'ing it since it does
not reside in linear mapping on crash dump kernel.
Please note that we should add "mem=X[MG]" boot parameter to limit the
memory size and avoid the following assertion at ioremap():
	if (WARN_ON(pfn_valid(__phys_to_pfn(phys_addr))))
		return NULL;
when accessing any pages beyond the usable memories of crash dump kernel.

We also need our own elfcorehdr_read() here since the weak definition of
elfcorehdr_read() utilizes copy_oldmem_page() and will hit the assertion
above on arm64.

What does this even mean? How do I "compile to a memory address not used
by the main kernel"?

I know you say that we have to override this function so that we don't
hit the pfn_valid warning in ioremap, but what guarantees that the ELF
header of the crashed kernel is actually mapped in our linear mapping?

I'd have thought it would be more useful to print the address as an
address rather than a size.

Similar #else trick here.

Well, it's just a copy from arm, but right, it's ambiguous.
I will remove that text.

Well, in fact, it depends on kexec-tools.
In the current implementation for arm64, the elf core header is allocated
within the usable memory of crash dump kernel.

Should we add some check here?

Yeah, I totally agree, but all the other archs, including x86 and arm,
print the address in "%lldMB" format.
If you like, I can fix it.
