LoongArch: Add kdump support
This patch adds support for kdump. In kdump case the normal kernel will
reserve a region for the crash kernel and jump there on panic.
Arch-specific functions are added to allow for implementing a crash dump
file interface, /proc/vmcore, which can be viewed as a ELF file.
A user-space tool, such as kexec-tools, is responsible for allocating a
separate region for the core's ELF header within the crash kdump kernel
memory and filling it in when executing kexec_load().
Then, its location will be advertised to the crash dump kernel via a
command line argument "elfcorehdr=", and the crash dump kernel will
preserve this region for later use with arch_reserve_vmcore() at boot
time.
At the same time, the crash kdump kernel is also limited within the
"crashkernel" area via a command line argument "mem=", so as not to
destroy the original kernel dump data.
In the crash dump kernel environment, /proc/vmcore is used to access the
primary kernel's memory with copy_oldmem_page().
I tested kdump on LoongArch machines (Loongson-3A5000) and it works as
expected (suggested crashkernel parameter is "crashkernel=512M@2560M"),
you may test it by triggering a crash through /proc/sysrq-trigger:
$ sudo kexec -p /boot/vmlinux-kdump --reuse-cmdline --append="nr_cpus=1"
# echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
