Subject: [PATCH v21 7/9] arm64: Block hibernate and kexec while RMM is active
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 09:45:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001084555.1456543-8-suzuki.poulose@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001084555.1456543-1-suzuki.poulose@arm.com>
RMM can be deactivated only after all delegated granules have been
reclaimed. If a new kernel is entered while any granules remain in the
Realm PAS, accesses to that memory can raise a Granule Protection Fault
and be fatal to the new kernel.
Crash kexec/kdump needs separate handling. It can be supported only once
the crash kernel can tolerate delegated memory inherited from the primary
kernel. i.e., be able to read the pages safely and fixup the GPF. Until
then disable the kexec completely.
Hibernate has a similar problem. The image cannot be safely saved for
delegated pages, as the RMM doesn't support exporting the pages.
Disable both kexec and hiberation while the RMM is active.

Changes since v20:
- Add arch_hibernation_available() hook for archs to have a say and drop the
other checks.
Changes since v19:
- New patch to disable kexec and hibernation with RMM
