fs/proc/vmcore.c: hide vmcoredd_mmap_dumps() for nommu builds

vmcore: move get_vmcore_size out of __init

2018-05-21T16:34:22Z

Fix below build warning: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x422bb8): Section mismatch in reference from the function vmcore_add_device_dump() to the function .init.text:get_vmcore_size.constprop.5() The function vmcore_add_device_dump() references the function __init get_vmcore_size.constprop.5(). This is often because vmcore_add_device_dump lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of get_vmcore_size.constprop.5 is wrong.

vmcore: append device dumps to vmcore as elf notes

2018-05-14T17:46:04Z

Update read and mmap logic to append device dumps as additional notes before the other elf notes. We add device dumps before other elf notes because the other elf notes may not fill the elf notes buffer completely and we will end up with zero-filled data between the elf notes and the device dumps. Tools will then try to decode this zero-filled data as valid notes and we don't want that. Hence, adding device dumps before the other elf notes ensure that zero-filled data can be avoided. This also ensures that the device dumps and the other elf notes can be properly mmaped at page aligned address. Incorporate device dump size into the total vmcore size. Also update offsets for other program headers after the device dumps are added. Suggested-by: Eric Biederman . Signed-off-by: Rahul Lakkireddy Signed-off-by: Ganesh Goudar Signed-off-by: David S.

vmcore: add API to collect hardware dump in second kernel

2018-05-14T17:46:04Z

The sequence of actions done by device drivers to append their device specific hardware/firmware logs to /proc/vmcore are as follows: 1. During probe (before hardware is initialized), device drivers register to the vmcore module (via vmcore_add_device_dump()), with callback function, along with buffer size and log name needed for firmware/hardware log collection. 2. vmcore module allocates the buffer with requested size. It adds an Elf note and invokes the device driver's registered callback function. 3. Device driver collects all hardware/firmware logs into the buffer and returns control back to vmcore module. Ensure that the device dump buffer size is always aligned to page size so that it can be mmaped. Also, rename alloc_elfnotes_buf() to vmcore_alloc_buf() to make it more generic and reserve NT_VMCOREDD note type to indicate vmcore device dump. Suggested-by: Eric Biederman .

userfaultfd: non-cooperative: add event for memory unmaps

2017-02-25T01:46:55Z

When a non-cooperative userfaultfd monitor copies pages in the background, it may encounter regions that were already unmapped. Addition of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP allows the uffd monitor to track precisely changes in the virtual memory layout. Since there might be different uffd contexts for the affected VMAs, we first should create a temporary representation for the unmap event for each uffd context and then notify them one by one to the appropriate userfault file descriptors. The event notification occurs after the mmap_sem has been released.

mm, fs: reduce fault, page_mkwrite, and pfn_mkwrite to take only vmf

2017-02-25T01:46:54Z

->fault(), ->page_mkwrite(), and ->pfn_mkwrite() calls do not need to take a vma and vmf parameter when the vma already resides in vmf. Remove the vma parameter to simplify things.

crash_dump: Add vmcore_elf32_check_arch

2016-05-13T12:01:59Z

parse_crash_elf{32|64}_headers will check the headers via the elf_check_arch respectively vmcore_elf64_check_arch macro. The MIPS architecture implements those two macros differently. In order to make the differentiation more explicit, let's introduce an vmcore_elf32_check_arch to allow the archs to overwrite it. Signed-off-by: Daniel Wagner Suggested-by: Maciej W.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros

2016-04-04T17:41:08Z

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ; - >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
