1Documentation for kdump - the kexec-based crash dumping solution
2================================================================
3
4DESIGN
5======
6
7Kdump uses kexec to reboot to a second kernel whenever a dump needs to be taken.
8This second kernel is booted with very little memory. The first kernel reserves
9the section of memory that the second kernel uses. This ensures that on-going
10DMA from the first kernel does not corrupt the second kernel.
11
12All the necessary information about Core image is encoded in ELF format and
13stored in reserved area of memory before crash. Physical address of start of
14ELF header is passed to new kernel through command line parameter elfcorehdr=.
15
16On i386, the first 640 KB of physical memory is needed to boot, irrespective
17of where the kernel loads. Hence, this region is backed up by kexec just before
18rebooting into the new kernel.
19
20In the second kernel, "old memory" can be accessed in two ways.
21
22- The first one is through a /dev/oldmem device interface. A capture utility
23 can read the device file and write out the memory in raw format. This is raw
24 dump of memory and analysis/capture tool should be intelligent enough to
25 determine where to look for the right information. ELF headers (elfcorehdr=)
26 can become handy here.
27
28- The second interface is through /proc/vmcore. This exports the dump as an ELF
29 format file which can be written out using any file copy command
30 (cp, scp, etc). Further, gdb can be used to perform limited debugging on
31 the dump file. This method ensures methods ensure that there is correct
32 ordering of the dump pages (corresponding to the first 640 KB that has been
33 relocated).
34
35SETUP
36=====
37
381) Download http://www.xmission.com/~ebiederm/files/kexec/kexec-tools-1.101.tar.gz
39 and apply http://lse.sourceforge.net/kdump/patches/kexec-tools-1.101-kdump.patch
40 and after that build the source.
41
422) Download and build the appropriate (latest) kexec/kdump (-mm) kernel
43 patchset and apply it to the vanilla kernel tree.
44
45 Two kernels need to be built in order to get this feature working.
46
47 A) First kernel:
48 a) Enable "kexec system call" feature (in Processor type and features).
49 CONFIG_KEXEC=y
50 b) This kernel's physical load address should be the default value of
51 0x100000 (0x100000, 1 MB) (in Processor type and features).
52 CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x100000
53 c) Enable "sysfs file system support" (in Pseudo filesystems).
54 CONFIG_SYSFS=y
55 d) Boot into first kernel with the command line parameter "crashkernel=Y@X".
56 Use appropriate values for X and Y. Y denotes how much memory to reserve
57 for the second kernel, and X denotes at what physical address the reserved
58 memory section starts. For example: "crashkernel=64M@16M".
59
60 B) Second kernel:
61 a) Enable "kernel crash dumps" feature (in Processor type and features).
62 CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
63 b) Specify a suitable value for "Physical address where the kernel is
64 loaded" (in Processor type and features). Typically this value
65 should be same as X (See option d) above, e.g., 16 MB or 0x1000000.
66 CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x1000000
67 c) Enable "/proc/vmcore support" (Optional, in Pseudo filesystems).
68 CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE=y
69 d) Disable SMP support and build a UP kernel (Until it is fixed).
70 CONFIG_SMP=n
71 e) Enable "Local APIC support on uniprocessors".
72 CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC=y
73 f) Enable "IO-APIC support on uniprocessors"
74 CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=y
75
76 Note: i) Options a) and b) depend upon "Configure standard kernel features
77 (for small systems)" (under General setup).
78 ii) Option a) also depends on CONFIG_HIGHMEM (under Processor
79 type and features).
80 iii) Both option a) and b) are under "Processor type and features".
81
823) Boot into the first kernel. You are now ready to try out kexec-based crash
83 dumps.
84
854) Load the second kernel to be booted using:
86
87 kexec -p <second-kernel> --crash-dump --args-linux --append="root=<root-dev>
88 init 1 irqpoll"
89
90 Note: i) <second-kernel> has to be a vmlinux image. bzImage will not work,
91 as of now.
92 ii) By default ELF headers are stored in ELF32 format (for i386). This
93 is sufficient to represent the physical memory up to 4GB. To store
94 headers in ELF64 format, specifiy "--elf64-core-headers" on the
95 kexec command line additionally.
96 iii) Specify "irqpoll" as command line parameter. This reduces driver
97 initialization failures in second kernel due to shared interrupts.
98
995) System reboots into the second kernel when a panic occurs. A module can be
100 written to force the panic or "ALT-SysRq-c" can be used initiate a crash
101 dump for testing purposes.
102
1036) Write out the dump file using
104
105 cp /proc/vmcore <dump-file>
106
107 Dump memory can also be accessed as a /dev/oldmem device for a linear/raw
108 view. To create the device, type:
109
110 mknod /dev/oldmem c 1 12
111
112 Use "dd" with suitable options for count, bs and skip to access specific
113 portions of the dump.
114
115 Entire memory: dd if=/dev/oldmem of=oldmem.001
116
117ANALYSIS
118========
119
120Limited analysis can be done using gdb on the dump file copied out of
121/proc/vmcore. Use vmlinux built with -g and run
122
123 gdb vmlinux <dump-file>
124
125Stack trace for the task on processor 0, register display, memory display
126work fine.
127
128Note: gdb cannot analyse core files generated in ELF64 format for i386.
129
130TODO
131====
132
1331) Provide a kernel pages filtering mechanism so that core file size is not
134 insane on systems having huge memory banks.
1352) Modify "crash" tool to make it recognize this dump.

10INTRODUCTION
11
12Wide Area Networks (WANs) are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs)
13and/or stand-alone hosts over vast distances with data transfer rates
14significantly higher than those achievable with commonly used dial-up
15connections.
16
17Usually an external device called `WAN router' sitting on your local network
18or connected to your machine's serial port provides physical connection to
19WAN. Although router's job may be as simple as taking your local network
20traffic, converting it to WAN format and piping it through the WAN link, these
21devices are notoriously expensive, with prices as much as 2 - 5 times higher
22then the price of a typical PC box.
23
24Alternatively, considering robustness and multitasking capabilities of Linux,
25an internal router can be built (most routers use some sort of stripped down
26Unix-like operating system anyway). With a number of relatively inexpensive WAN
27interface cards available on the market, a perfectly usable router can be
28built for less than half a price of an external router. Yet a Linux box
29acting as a router can still be used for other purposes, such as fire-walling,
30running FTP, WWW or DNS server, etc.
31
32This kernel module introduces the notion of a WAN Link Driver (WLD) to Linux
33operating system and provides generic hardware-independent services for such
34drivers. Why can existing Linux network device interface not be used for
35this purpose? Well, it can. However, there are a few key differences between
36a typical network interface (e.g. Ethernet) and a WAN link.
37
38Many WAN protocols, such as X.25 and frame relay, allow for multiple logical
39connections (known as `virtual circuits' in X.25 terminology) over a single
40physical link. Each such virtual circuit may (and almost always does) lead
41to a different geographical location and, therefore, different network. As a
42result, it is the virtual circuit, not the physical link, that represents a
43route and, therefore, a network interface in Linux terms.
44
45To further complicate things, virtual circuits are usually volatile in nature
46(excluding so called `permanent' virtual circuits or PVCs). With almost no
47time required to set up and tear down a virtual circuit, it is highly desirable
48to implement on-demand connections in order to minimize network charges. So
49unlike a typical network driver, the WAN driver must be able to handle multiple
50network interfaces and cope as multiple virtual circuits come into existence
51and go away dynamically.
52
53Last, but not least, WAN configuration is much more complex than that of say
54Ethernet and may well amount to several dozens of parameters. Some of them
55are "link-wide" while others are virtual circuit-specific. The same holds
56true for WAN statistics which is by far more extensive and extremely useful
57when troubleshooting WAN connections. Extending the ifconfig utility to suit
58these needs may be possible, but does not seem quite reasonable. Therefore, a
59WAN configuration utility and corresponding application programmer's interface
60is needed for this purpose.
61
62Most of these problems are taken care of by this module. Its goal is to
63provide a user with more-or-less standard look and feel for all WAN devices and
64assist a WAN device driver writer by providing common services, such as:
65
66 o User-level interface via /proc file system
67 o Centralized configuration
68 o Device management (setup, shutdown, etc.)
69 o Network interface management (dynamic creation/destruction)
70 o Protocol encapsulation/decapsulation
71
72To ba able to use the Linux WAN Router you will also need a WAN Tools package
73available from
74
75 ftp.sangoma.com/pub/linux/current_wanpipe/wanpipe-X.Y.Z.tgz

115ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
116
117This product is based on the WANPIPE(tm) Multiprotocol WAN Router developed
118by Sangoma Technologies Inc. for Linux 2.0.x and 2.2.x. Success of the WANPIPE
119together with the next major release of Linux kernel in summer 1996 commanded
120adequate changes to the WANPIPE code to take full advantage of new Linux
121features.
122
123Instead of continuing developing proprietary interface tied to Sangoma WAN
124cards, we decided to separate all hardware-independent code into a separate
125module and defined two levels of interfaces - one for user-level applications
126and another for kernel-level WAN drivers. WANPIPE is now implemented as a
127WAN driver compliant with the WAN Link Driver interface. Also a general
128purpose WAN configuration utility and a set of shell scripts was developed to
129support WAN router at the user level.
130
131Many useful ideas concerning hardware-independent interface implementation
132were given by Mike McLagan <mike.mclagan@linux.org> and his implementation
133of the Frame Relay router and drivers for Sangoma cards (dlci/sdla).
134
135With the new implementation of the APIs being incorporated into the WANPIPE,
136a special thank goes to Alan Cox in providing insight into BSD sockets.
137
138Special thanks to all the WANPIPE users who performed field-testing, reported
139bugs and made valuable comments and suggestions that help us to improve this
140product.
141
142
143
144NEW IN THIS RELEASE
145
146 o Updated the WANCFG utility
147 Calls the pppconfig to configure the PPPD
148 for async connections.
149
150 o Added the PPPCONFIG utility
151 Used to configure the PPPD dameon for the
152 WANPIPE Async PPP and standard serial port.
153 The wancfg calls the pppconfig to configure
154 the pppd.
155
156 o Fixed the PCI autodetect feature.
157 The SLOT 0 was used as an autodetect option
158 however, some high end PC's slot numbers start
159 from 0.
160
161 o This release has been tested with the new backupd
162 daemon release.

375 configurator.
376 o Architectual directory changes.
377
378beta-2.1.4 Jul 2000 o Dynamic interface configuration:
379 Network interfaces reflect the state
380 of protocol layer. If the protocol becomes
381 disconnected, driver will bring down
382 the interface. Once the protocol reconnects
383 the interface will be brought up.
384
385 Note: This option is turned off by default.
386
387 o Dynamic wanrouter setup using 'wanconfig':
388 wanconfig utility can be used to
389 shutdown,restart,start or reconfigure
390 a virtual circuit dynamically.
391
392 Frame Relay: Each DLCI can be:
393 created,stopped,restarted and reconfigured
394 dynamically using wanconfig.
395
396 ex: wanconfig card wanpipe1 dev wp1_fr16 up
397
398 o Wanrouter startup via command line arguments:
399 wanconfig also supports wanrouter startup via command line
400 arguments. Thus, there is no need to create a wanpipe#.conf
401 configuration file.
402
403 o Socket based x25api update/bug fixes.
404 Added support for LCN numbers greater than 255.
405 Option to pass up modem messages.
406 Provided a PCI IRQ check, so a single S514
407 card is guaranteed to have a non-sharing interrupt.
408
409 o Fixes to the wancfg utility.
410 o New FT1 debugging support via *pipemon utilities.
411 o Frame Relay ARP support Enabled.
412
413beta3-2.1.4 Jul 2000 o X25 M_BIT Problem fix.
414 o Added the Multi-Port PPP
415 Updated utilites for the Multi-Port PPP.
416
4172.1.4 Aut 2000
418 o In X25API:
419 Maximum packet an application can send
420 to the driver has been extended to 4096 bytes.
421
422 Fixed the x25 startup bug. Enable
423 communications only after all interfaces
424 come up. HIGH SVC/PVC is used to calculate
425 the number of channels.
426 Enable protocol only after all interfaces
427 are enabled.
428
429 o Added an extra state to the FT1 config, kernel module.
430 o Updated the pipemon debuggers.
431
432 o Blocked the Multi-Port PPP from running on kernels
433 2.2.16 or greater, due to syncppp kernel module
434 change.
435
436beta1-2.1.5 Nov 15 2000
437 o Fixed the MulitPort PPP Support for kernels 2.2.16 and above.
438 2.2.X kernels only
439
440 o Secured the driver UDP debugging calls
441 - All illegal netowrk debugging calls are reported to
442 the log.
443 - Defined a set of allowed commands, all other denied.
444
445 o Cpipemon
446 - Added set FT1 commands to the cpipemon. Thus CSU/DSU
447 configuraiton can be performed using cpipemon.
448 All systems that cannot run cfgft1 GUI utility should
449 use cpipemon to configure the on board CSU/DSU.
450
451
452 o Keyboard Led Monitor/Debugger
453 - A new utilty /usr/sbin/wpkbdmon uses keyboard leds
454 to convey operatinal statistic information of the
455 Sangoma WANPIPE cards.
456 NUM_LOCK = Line State (On=connected, Off=disconnected)
457 CAPS_LOCK = Tx data (On=transmitting, Off=no tx data)
458 SCROLL_LOCK = Rx data (On=receiving, Off=no rx data
459
460 o Hardware probe on module load and dynamic device allocation
461 - During WANPIPE module load, all Sangoma cards are probed
462 and found information is printed in the /var/log/messages.
463 - If no cards are found, the module load fails.
464 - Appropriate number of devices are dynamically loaded
465 based on the number of Sangoma cards found.
466
467 Note: The kernel configuraiton option
468 CONFIG_WANPIPE_CARDS has been taken out.
469
470 o Fixed the Frame Relay and Chdlc network interfaces so they are
471 compatible with libpcap libraries. Meaning, tcpdump, snort,
472 ethereal, and all other packet sniffers and debuggers work on
473 all WANPIPE netowrk interfaces.
474 - Set the network interface encoding type to ARPHRD_PPP.
475 This tell the sniffers that data obtained from the
476 network interface is in pure IP format.
477 Fix for 2.2.X kernels only.
478
479 o True interface encoding option for Frame Relay and CHDLC
480 - The above fix sets the network interface encoding
481 type to ARPHRD_PPP, however some customers use
482 the encoding interface type to determine the
483 protocol running. Therefore, the TURE ENCODING
484 option will set the interface type back to the
485 original value.
486
487 NOTE: If this option is used with Frame Relay and CHDLC
488 libpcap library support will be broken.
489 i.e. tcpdump will not work.
490 Fix for 2.2.x Kernels only.
491
492 o Ethernet Bridgind over Frame Relay
493 - The Frame Relay bridging has been developed by
494 Kristian Hoffmann and Mark Wells.
495 - The Linux kernel bridge is used to send ethernet
496 data over the frame relay links.
497 For 2.2.X Kernels only.
498
499 o Added extensive 2.0.X support. Most new features of
500 2.1.5 for protocols Frame Relay, PPP and CHDLC are
501 supported under 2.0.X kernels.
502
503beta1-2.2.0 Dec 30 2000
504 o Updated drivers for 2.4.X kernels.
505 o Updated drivers for SMP support.
506 o X25API is now able to share PCI interrupts.
507 o Took out a general polling routine that was used
508 only by X25API.
509 o Added appropriate locks to the dynamic reconfiguration
510 code.
511 o Fixed a bug in the keyboard debug monitor.
512
513beta2-2.2.0 Jan 8 2001
514 o Patches for 2.4.0 kernel
515 o Patches for 2.2.18 kernel
516 o Minor updates to PPP and CHLDC drivers.
517 Note: No functinal difference.
518
519beta3-2.2.9 Jan 10 2001
520 o I missed the 2.2.18 kernel patches in beta2-2.2.0
521 release. They are included in this release.
522
523Stable Release
5242.2.0 Feb 01 2001
525 o Bug fix in wancfg GUI configurator.
526 The edit function didn't work properly.
527
528
529bata1-2.2.1 Feb 09 2001
530 o WANPIPE TTY Driver emulation.
531 Two modes of operation Sync and Async.
532 Sync: Using the PPPD daemon, kernel SyncPPP layer
533 and the Wanpipe sync TTY driver: a PPP protocol
534 connection can be established via Sangoma adapter, over
535 a T1 leased line.
536
537 The 2.4.0 kernel PPP layer supports MULTILINK
538 protocol, that can be used to bundle any number of Sangoma
539 adapters (T1 lines) into one, under a single IP address.
540 Thus, efficiently obtaining multiple T1 throughput.
541
542 NOTE: The remote side must also implement MULTILINK PPP
543 protocol.
544
545 Async:Using the PPPD daemon, kernel AsyncPPP layer
546 and the WANPIPE async TTY driver: a PPP protocol
547 connection can be established via Sangoma adapter and
548 a modem, over a telephone line.
549
550 Thus, the WANPIPE async TTY driver simulates a serial
551 TTY driver that would normally be used to interface the
552 MODEM to the linux kernel.
553
554 o WANPIPE PPP Backup Utility
555 This utility will monitor the state of the PPP T1 line.
556 In case of failure, a dial up connection will be established
557 via pppd daemon, ether via a serial tty driver (serial port),
558 or a WANPIPE async TTY driver (in case serial port is unavailable).
559
560 Furthermore, while in dial up mode, the primary PPP T1 link
561 will be monitored for signs of life.
562
563 If the PPP T1 link comes back to life, the dial up connection
564 will be shutdown and T1 line re-established.
565
566
567 o New Setup installation script.
568 Option to UPGRADE device drivers if the kernel source has
569 already been patched with WANPIPE.
570
571 Option to COMPILE WANPIPE modules against the currently
572 running kernel, thus no need for manual kernel and module
573 re-compilatin.
574
575 o Updates and Bug Fixes to wancfg utility.
576
577bata2-2.2.1 Feb 20 2001
578
579 o Bug fixes to the CHDLC device drivers.
580 The driver had compilation problems under kernels
581 2.2.14 or lower.
582
583 o Bug fixes to the Setup installation script.
584 The device drivers compilation options didn't work
585 properly.
586
587 o Update to the wpbackupd daemon.
588 Optimized the cross-over times, between the primary
589 link and the backup dialup.
590
591beta3-2.2.1 Mar 02 2001
592 o Patches for 2.4.2 kernel.
593
594 o Bug fixes to util/ make files.
595 o Bug fixes to the Setup installation script.
596
597 o Took out the backupd support and made it into
598 as separate package.
599
600beta4-2.2.1 Mar 12 2001
601
602 o Fix to the Frame Relay Device driver.
603 IPSAC sends a packet of zero length
604 header to the frame relay driver. The
605 driver tries to push its own 2 byte header
606 into the packet, which causes the driver to
607 crash.
608
609 o Fix the WANPIPE re-configuration code.
610 Bug was found by trying to run the cfgft1 while the
611 interface was already running.
612
613 o Updates to cfgft1.
614 Writes a wanpipe#.cfgft1 configuration file
615 once the CSU/DSU is configured. This file can
616 holds the current CSU/DSU configuration.

280
281Q: What is this 'Encrypt suspend image' for?
282
283A: First of all: it is not a replacement for dm-crypt encrypted swap.
284It cannot protect your computer while it is suspended. Instead it does
285protect from leaking sensitive data after resume from suspend.
286
287Think of the following: you suspend while an application is running
288that keeps sensitive data in memory. The application itself prevents
289the data from being swapped out. Suspend, however, must write these
290data to swap to be able to resume later on. Without suspend encryption
291your sensitive data are then stored in plaintext on disk. This means
292that after resume your sensitive data are accessible to all
293applications having direct access to the swap device which was used
294for suspend. If you don't need swap after resume these data can remain
295on disk virtually forever. Thus it can happen that your system gets
296broken in weeks later and sensitive data which you thought were
297encrypted and protected are retrieved and stolen from the swap device.
298To prevent this situation you should use 'Encrypt suspend image'.
299
300During suspend a temporary key is created and this key is used to
301encrypt the data written to disk. When, during resume, the data was
302read back into memory the temporary key is destroyed which simply
303means that all data written to disk during suspend are then
304inaccessible so they can't be stolen later on. The only thing that
305you must then take care of is that you call 'mkswap' for the swap
306partition used for suspend as early as possible during regular
307boot. This asserts that any temporary key from an oopsed suspend or
308from a failed or aborted resume is erased from the swap device.
309
310As a rule of thumb use encrypted swap to protect your data while your
311system is shut down or suspended. Additionally use the encrypted
312suspend image to prevent sensitive data from being stolen after
313resume.
