Documentation/ABI: mark old kexec sysfs deprecated
The previous commit ("kexec: move sysfs entries to /sys/kernel/kexec")
moved all existing kexec sysfs entries to a new location. The ABI
document is updated to include a note about the deprecation of the old
kexec sysfs entries.
The following kexec sysfs entries are deprecated:
- /sys/kernel/kexec_loaded
- /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded
- /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
- /sys/kernel/crash_elfcorehdr_size
- /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_cma_ranges

crash: export crashkernel CMA reservation to userspace
Add a sysfs entry /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_cma_ranges to expose all CMA
crashkernel ranges.
This allows userspace tools configuring kdump to determine how much memory
is reserved for crashkernel. If CMA is used, tools can warn users when
attempting to capture user pages with CMA reservation.
The new sysfs hold the CMA ranges in below format:
cat /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_cma_ranges
100000000-10c7fffff
The reason for not including Crash CMA Ranges in /proc/iomem is to avoid
conflicts. It has been observed that contiguous memory ranges are
sometimes shown as two separate System RAM entries in /proc/iomem. If a
CMA range overlaps two System RAM ranges, adding crashk_res to /proc/iomem
can create a conflict. Reference [1] describes one such instance on the
PowerPC architecture.
