powerpc/fadump: setup additional parameters for dump capture kernel

For fadump case, passing additional parameters to dump capture kernel
helps in minimizing the memory footprint for it and also provides the
flexibility to disable components/modules, like hugepages, that are
hindering the boot process of the special dump capture environment.

Set up a dedicated parameter area to be passed to the capture kernel.
This area type is defined as RTAS_FADUMP_PARAM_AREA. Sysfs attribute
'/sys/kernel/fadump/bootargs_append' is exported to the userspace to
specify the additional parameters to be passed to the capture kernel

powerpc/pseries/fadump: add support for multiple boot memory regions

Currently, fadump on pseries assumes a single boot memory region even
though f/w supports more than one boot memory region. Add support for
more boot memory regions to make the implementation flexible for any
enhancements that introduce other region types. For this, rtas memory
structure for fadump is updated to have multiple boot memory regions
instead of just one. Additionally, methods responsible for creating
the fadump memory structure during both the first and second kernel
boot have been modified to take these multiple boot memory regions
into account. Also, a new callback has been added to the fadump_ops
structure to get the maximum boot memory regions supported by the
platform.

powerpc: make fadump resilient with memory add/remove events

Due to changes in memory resources caused by either memory hotplug or
online/offline events, the elfcorehdr, which describes the CPUs and
memory of the crashed kernel to the kernel that collects the dump (known
as second/fadump kernel), becomes outdated. Consequently, attempting
dump collection with an outdated elfcorehdr can lead to failed or
inaccurate dump collection.

Memory hotplug or online/offline events is referred as memory add/remove
events in reset of the commit message.

The current solution to address the aforementioned issue is as follows:
Monitor memory add/remove events in userspace using udev rules, and
re-register fadump whenever there are changes in memory resources. This
leads to the creation of a new elfcorehdr with updated system memory
information.

There are several notable issues associated with re-registering fadump
for every memory add/remove events.

1. Bulk memory add/remove events with udev-based fadump re-registration
can lead to race conditions and, more importantly, it creates a wide
window during which fadump is inactive until all memory add/remove
events are settled.
2. Re-registering fadump for every memory add/remove event is
inefficient.
3. The memory for elfcorehdr is allocated based on the memblock regions
available during early boot and remains fixed thereafter. However, if
elfcorehdr is later recreated with additional memblock regions, its
size will increase, potentially leading to memory corruption.

Address the aforementioned challenges by shifting the creation of
elfcorehdr from the first kernel (also referred as the crashed kernel),
where it was created and frequently recreated for every memory
add/remove event, to the fadump kernel. As a result, the elfcorehdr only
needs to be created once, thus eliminating the necessity to re-register
fadump during memory add/remove events.

At present, the first kernel prepares fadump header and stores it in the
fadump reserved area. The fadump header includes the start address of
the elfcorehdr, crashing CPU details, and other relevant information. In
the event of a crash in the first kernel, the second/fadump boots and
accesses the fadump header prepared by the first kernel. It then
performs the following steps in a platform-specific function
[rtas|opal]_fadump_process:

1. Sanity check for fadump header
2. Update CPU notes in elfcorehdr

Along with the above, update the setup_fadump()/fadump.c to create
elfcorehdr and set its address to the global variable elfcorehdr_addr
for the vmcore module to process it in the second/fadump kernel.

Section below outlines the information required to create the elfcorehdr
and the changes made to make it available to the fadump kernel if it's
not already.

To create elfcorehdr, the following crashed kernel information is
required: CPU notes, vmcoreinfo, and memory ranges.

At present, the CPU notes are already prepared in the fadump kernel, so
no changes are needed in that regard. The fadump kernel has access to
all crashed kernel memory regions, including boot memory regions that
are relocated by firmware to fadump reserved areas, so no changes for
that either. However, it is necessary to add new members to the fadump
header, i.e., the 'fadump_crash_info_header' structure, in order to pass
the crashed kernel's vmcoreinfo address and its size to fadump kernel.

In addition to the vmcoreinfo address and size, there are a few other
attributes also added to the fadump_crash_info_header structure.

1. version:
It stores the fadump header version, which is currently set to 1.
This provides flexibility to update the fadump crash info header in
the future without changing the magic number. For each change in the
fadump header, the version will be increased. This will help the
updated kernel determine how to handle kernel dumps from older
kernels. The magic number remains relevant for checking fadump header
corruption.

2. pt_regs_sz/cpu_mask_sz:
Store size of pt_regs and cpu_mask structure of first kernel. These
attributes are used to prevent dump processing if the sizes of
pt_regs or cpu_mask structure differ between the first and fadump
kernels.

Note: if either first/crashed kernel or second/fadump kernel do not have
the changes introduced here then kernel fail to collect the dump and
prints relevant error message on the console.
