bd664f6 disable new gcc-7.1.1 warnings for now I made the mistake of upgrading my desktop to the new Fedora 26 that comes with gcc-7.1.1. There's nothing wrong per se that I've noticed, but I now have 1500 lines of warnings, mostly from the new format-truncation warning triggering all over the tree. We use 'snprintf()' and friends in a lot of places, and often know that the numbers are fairly small (ie a controller index or similar), but gcc doesn't know that, and sees an 'int', and thinks that it could be some huge number. And then complains when our buffers are not able to fit the name for the ten millionth controller. These warnings aren't necessarily bad per se, and we probably want to look through them subsystem by subsystem, but at least during the merge window they just mean that I can't even see if somebody is introducing any *real* problems when I pull. So warnings disabled for now. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 13 July 2017, 02:25:47 UTC

3e8f399 writeback: rework wb_[dec|inc]_stat family of functions Currently the writeback statistics code uses a percpu counters to hold various statistics. Furthermore we have 2 families of functions - those which disable local irq and those which doesn't and whose names begin with double underscore. However, they both end up calling __add_wb_stats which in turn calls percpu_counter_add_batch which is already irq-safe. Exploiting this fact allows to eliminated the __wb_* functions since they don't add any further protection than we already have. Furthermore, refactor the wb_* function to call __add_wb_stat directly without the irq-disabling dance. This will likely result in better runtime of code which deals with modifying the stat counters. While at it also document why percpu_counter_add_batch is in fact preempt and irq-safe since at least 3 people got confused.

dce3944 video: fbdev: intelfb: move inline before return type Make the code like the rest of the kernel. But there is an oddity here because the inline should probably be removed. It's an extern function in intelfb.h and it is used in intelfbdrv.c and intelfbhw.c. The inline is kept here as I suppose it's possible for some compiler to make the uses inline in intelfbdrv and and also create an external function for intelfbhw.

0f55685 mm, migration: do not trigger OOM killer when migrating memory Page migration (for memory hotplug, soft_offline_page or mbind) needs to allocate a new memory. This can trigger an oom killer if the target memory is depleated. Although quite unlikely, still possible, especially for the memory hotplug (offlining of memoery). Up to now we didn't really have reasonable means to back off. __GFP_NORETRY can fail just too easily and __GFP_THISNODE sticks to a single node and that is not suitable for all callers. But now that we have __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL we should use it. It is preferable to fail the migration than disrupt the system by killing some processes.

dbb3295 drm/i915: use __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL Commit 24f8e00a8a2e ("drm/i915: Prefer to report ENOMEM rather than incur the oom for gfx allocations") has tried to remove disruptive OOM killer because the userspace should be able to cope with allocation failures. At the time only __GFP_NORETRY could achieve that and it turned out that this would fail the allocations just too easily. So "drm/i915: Remove __GFP_NORETRY from our buffer allocator" removed it and hoped for a better solution. __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL is that solution. It will keep retrying the allocation until there is no more progress and we would go OOM. Instead we fail the allocation and let the caller to deal with it.

cc965a2 mm: kvmalloc support __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL for all sizes Now that __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL has a reasonable semantic regardless of the request size we can drop the hackish implementation for !costly orders. __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL retries as long as the reclaim makes a forward progress and backs of when we are out of memory for the requested size. Therefore we do not need to enforce__GFP_NORETRY for !costly orders just to silent the oom killer anymore.

91c63ec xfs: map KM_MAYFAIL to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL KM_MAYFAIL didn't have any suitable GFP_FOO counterpart until recently so it relied on the default page allocator behavior for the given set of flags. This means that small allocations actually never failed. Now that we have __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL flag which works independently on the allocation request size we can map KM_MAYFAIL to it. The allocator will try as hard as it can to fulfill the request but fails eventually if the progress cannot be made. It does so without triggering the OOM killer which can be seen as an improvement because KM_MAYFAIL users should be able to deal with allocation failures.

dcda9b0 mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic __GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to the page allocator. This has been true but only for allocations requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. It has been always ignored for smaller sizes. This is a bit unfortunate because there is no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests. Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful semantic. Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a success. This will work independent of the order and overrides the default allocator behavior. Page allocator users have several levels of guarantee vs. cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example) - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_ attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more aggressive reclaim - GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when the request is a performance optimization and there is another fallback for a slow path. - (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) - non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh context with an expensive slow path fallback. - GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the _default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently). - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer is not invoked. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer won't be triggered. - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed. This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders. Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL because they already had their semantic. No new users are added. __alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point. This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

473738e MIPS: do not use __GFP_REPEAT for order-0 request Patch series "mm: give __GFP_REPEAT a better semantic". The main motivation for the change is that the current implementation of __GFP_REPEAT is not very much useful. The documentation says: * __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt * _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation. It just fails to mention that this is true only for large (costly) high order which has been the case since the flag was introduced. A similar semantic would be really helpful for smal orders as well, though, because we have places where a failure with a specific fallback error handling is preferred to a potential endless loop inside the page allocator. The earlier cleanup dropped __GFP_REPEAT usage for low (!costly) order users so only those which might use larger orders have stayed. One new user added in the meantime is addressed in patch 1. Let's rename the flag to something more verbose and use it for existing users. Semantic for those will not change. Then implement low (!costly) orders failure path which is hit after the page allocator is about to invoke the oom killer. With that we have a good counterpart for __GFP_NORETRY and finally can tell try as hard as possible without the OOM killer. Xfs code already has an existing annotation for allocations which are allowed to fail and we can trivially map them to the new gfp flag because it will provide the semantic KM_MAYFAIL wants. Christoph didn't consider the new flag really necessary but didn't respond to the OOM killer aspect of the change so I have kept the patch. If this is still seen as not really needed I can drop the patch. kvmalloc will allow also !costly high order allocations to retry hard before falling back to the vmalloc. drm/i915 asked for the new semantic explicitly. Memory migration code, especially for the memory hotplug, should back off rather than invoking the OOM killer as well. This patch (of 6): Commit 3377e227af44 ("MIPS: Add 48-bit VA space (and 4-level page tables) for 4K pages.") has added a new __GFP_REPEAT user but using this flag doesn't really make any sense for order-0 request which is the case here because PUD_ORDER is 0. __GFP_REPEAT has historically effect only on allocation requests with order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. This doesn't introduce any functional change. This is a preparatory patch for later work which renames the flag and redefines its semantic.

022c204 random,stackprotect: introduce get_random_canary function Patch series "stackprotector: ascii armor the stack canary", v2. Zero out the first byte of the stack canary value on 64 bit systems, in order to mitigate unterminated C string overflows. The null byte both prevents C string functions from reading the canary, and from writing it if the canary value were guessed or obtained through some other means. Reducing the entropy by 8 bits is acceptable on 64-bit systems, which will still have 56 bits of entropy left, but not on 32 bit systems, so the "ascii armor" canary is only implemented on 64-bit systems. Inspired by the "ascii armor" code in execshield and Daniel Micay's linux-hardened tree. Also see https://github.com/thestinger/linux-hardened/ This patch (of 5): Introduce get_random_canary(), which provides a random unsigned long canary value with the first byte zeroed out on 64 bit architectures, in order to mitigate non-terminated C string overflows.

6974f0c include/linux/string.h: add the option of fortified string.h functions This adds support for compiling with a rough equivalent to the glibc _FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 feature, providing compile-time and runtime buffer overflow checks for string.h functions when the compiler determines the size of the source or destination buffer at compile-time. Unlike glibc, it covers buffer reads in addition to writes. GNU C __builtin_*_chk intrinsics are avoided because they would force a much more complex implementation. They aren't designed to detect read overflows and offer no real benefit when using an implementation based on inline checks. Inline checks don't add up to much code size and allow full use of the regular string intrinsics while avoiding the need for a bunch of _chk functions and per-arch assembly to avoid wrapper overhead. This detects various overflows at compile-time in various drivers and some non-x86 core kernel code. There will likely be issues caught in regular use at runtime too. Future improvements left out of initial implementation for simplicity, as it's all quite optional and can be done incrementally: * Some of the fortified string functions (strncpy, strcat), don't yet place a limit on reads from the source based on __builtin_object_size of the source buffer. * Extending coverage to more string functions like strlcat. * It should be possible to optionally use __builtin_object_size(x, 1) for some functions (C strings) to detect intra-object overflows (like glibc's _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2), but for now this takes the conservative approach to avoid likely compatibility issues. * The compile-time checks should be made available via a separate config option which can be enabled by default (or always enabled) once enough time has passed to get the issues it catches fixed. Kees said: "This is great to have. While it was out-of-tree code, it would have blocked at least CVE-2016-3858 from being exploitable (improper size argument to strlcpy()).

c69a48c powerpc: make feature-fixup tests fortify-safe Testing the fortified string functions[1] would cause a kernel panic on boot in test_feature_fixups() due to a buffer overflow in memcmp. This boils down to things like this: extern unsigned int ftr_fixup_test1; extern unsigned int ftr_fixup_test1_orig; check(memcmp(&ftr_fixup_test1, &ftr_fixup_test1_orig, size) == 0); We know that these are asm labels so it is safe to read up to 'size' bytes at those addresses. However, because we have passed the address of a single unsigned int to memcmp, the compiler believes the underlying object is in fact a single unsigned int. So if size > sizeof(unsigned int), there will be a panic at runtime. We can fix this by changing the types: instead of calling the asm labels unsigned ints, call them unsigned int[]s. Therefore the size isn't incorrectly determined at compile time and we get a regular unsafe memcmp and no panic.

2104180 powerpc/64s: implement arch-specific hardlockup watchdog Implement an arch-speicfic watchdog rather than use the perf-based hardlockup detector. The new watchdog takes the soft-NMI directly, rather than going through perf. Perf interrupts are to be made maskable in future, so that would prevent the perf detector from working in those regions. Additionally, implement a SMP based detector where all CPUs watch one another by pinging a shared cpumask. This is because powerpc Book3S does not have a true periodic local NMI, but some platforms do implement a true NMI IPI. If a CPU is stuck with interrupts hard disabled, the soft-NMI watchdog does not work, but the SMP watchdog will. Even on platforms without a true NMI IPI to get a good trace from the stuck CPU, other CPUs will notice the lockup sufficiently to report it and panic.

05a4a95 kernel/watchdog: split up config options Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming interfaces for the lockup detectors. An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces. sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

e41d581 fault-inject: support systematic fault injection Add /proc/self/task/<current-tid>/fail-nth file that allows failing 0-th, 1-st, 2-nd and so on calls systematically. Excerpt from the added documentation: "Write to this file of integer N makes N-th call in the current task fail (N is 0-based). Read from this file returns a single char 'Y' or 'N' that says if the fault setup with a previous write to this file was injected or not, and disables the fault if it wasn't yet injected. Note that this file enables all types of faults (slab, futex, etc). This setting takes precedence over all other generic settings like probability, interval, times, etc. But per-capability settings (e.g. fail_futex/ignore-private) take precedence over it. This feature is intended for systematic testing of faults in a single system call. See an example below" Why add a new setting: 1. Existing settings are global rather than per-task. So parallel testing is not possible. 2. attr->interval is close but it depends on attr->count which is non reset to 0, so interval does not work as expected. 3. Trying to model this with existing settings requires manipulations of all of probability, interval, times, space, task-filter and unexposed count and per-task make-it-fail files. 4. Existing settings are per-failure-type, and the set of failure types is potentially expanding. 5. make-it-fail can't be changed by unprivileged user and aggressive stress testing better be done from an unprivileged user. Similarly, this would require opening the debugfs files to the unprivileged user, as he would need to reopen at least times file (not possible to pre-open before dropping privs). The proposed interface solves all of the above (see the example). We want to integrate this into syzkaller fuzzer. A prototype has found 10 bugs in kernel in first day of usage: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/syzkaller/%22FAULT_INJECTION%22%7Csort:relevance I've made the current interface work with all types of our sandboxes. For setuid the secret sauce was prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1, 0, 0, 0) to make /proc entries non-root owned. So I am fine with the current version of the code.

0791e36 kcmp: add KCMP_EPOLL_TFD mode to compare epoll target files With current epoll architecture target files are addressed with file_struct and file descriptor number, where the last is not unique. Moreover files can be transferred from another process via unix socket, added into queue and closed then so we won't find this descriptor in the task fdinfo list. Thus to checkpoint and restore such processes CRIU needs to find out where exactly the target file is present to add it into epoll queue. For this sake one can use kcmp call where some particular target file from the queue is compared with arbitrary file passed as an argument. Because epoll target files can have same file descriptor number but different file_struct a caller should explicitly specify the offset within. To test if some particular file is matching entry inside epoll one have to - fill kcmp_epoll_slot structure with epoll file descriptor, target file number and target file offset (in case if only one target is present then it should be 0) - call kcmp as kcmp(pid1, pid2, KCMP_EPOLL_TFD, fd, &kcmp_epoll_slot) - the kernel fetch file pointer matching file descriptor @fd of pid1 - lookups for file struct in epoll queue of pid2 and returns traditional 0,1,2 result for sorting purpose Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170424154423.511592110@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Acked-by: Andrey Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@akamai.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 12 July 2017, 23:26:01 UTC
77493f0 procfs: fdinfo: extend information about epoll target files Since it is possbile to have same number in tfd field (say file added, closed, then nother file dup'ed to same number and added back) it is imposible to distinguish such target files solely by their numbers. Strictly speaking regular applications don't need to recognize these targets at all but for checkpoint/restore sake we need to collect targets to be able to push them back on restore stage in a proper order. Thus lets add file position, inode and device number where this target lays. This three fields can be used as a primary key for sorting, and together with kcmp help CRIU can find out an exact file target (from the whole set of processes being checkpointed).

46d10a0 scripts/gdb: lx-dmesg: use explicit encoding=utf8 errors=replace Use errors=replace because it is never desirable for lx-dmesg to fail on string decoding errors, not even if the log buffer is corrupt and we show incorrect info. The kernel will sometimes print utf8, for example the copyright symbol from jffs2. In order to make this work specify 'utf8' everywhere because python2 otherwise defaults to 'ascii'. In theory the second errors='replace' is not be required because everything that can be decoded as utf8 should also be encodable back to utf8. But it's better to be extra safe here. It's worth noting that this is definitely not true for encoding='ascii', unknown characters are replaced with U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER and they fail to encode back to ascii.

9380fa6 kernel/sysctl_binary.c: check name array length in deprecated_sysctl_warning() Prevent use of uninitialized memory (originating from the stack frame of do_sysctl()) by verifying that the name array is filled with sufficient input data before comparing its specific entries with integer constants. Through timing measurement or analyzing the kernel debug logs, a user-mode program could potentially infer the results of comparisons against the uninitialized memory, and acquire some (very limited) information about the state of the kernel stack. The change also eliminates possible future warnings by tools such as KMSAN and other code checkers / instrumentations.

We want to expand test coverage but we can't just be looking for random safe production values to poke at, that's just insane! Instead just dedicate a test driver for debugging purposes and port the existing scripts to use it. This will make it easier for further tests to be added. Subsequent patches will extend our test coverage for sysctl. The stress test driver uses a new license (GPL on Linux, copyleft-next outside of Linux).

4f2fec0 sysctl: simplify unsigned int support Commit e7d316a02f68 ("sysctl: handle error writing UINT_MAX to u32 fields") added proc_douintvec() to start help adding support for unsigned int, this however was only half the work needed. Two fixes have come in since then for the following issues: o Printing the values shows a negative value, this happens since do_proc_dointvec() and this uses proc_put_long() This was fixed by commit 5380e5644afbba9 ("sysctl: don't print negative flag for proc_douintvec"). o We can easily wrap around the int values: UINT_MAX is 4294967295, if we echo in 4294967295 + 1 we end up with 0, using 4294967295 + 2 we end up with 1. o We echo negative values in and they are accepted This was fixed by commit 425fffd886ba ("sysctl: report EINVAL if value is larger than UINT_MAX for proc_douintvec"). It still also failed to be added to sysctl_check_table()... instead of adding it with the current implementation just provide a proper and simplified unsigned int support without any array unsigned int support with no negative support at all. Historically sysctl proc helpers have supported arrays, due to the complexity this adds though we've taken a step back to evaluate array users to determine if its worth upkeeping for unsigned int. An evaluation using Coccinelle has been done to perform a grammatical search to ask ourselves: o How many sysctl proc_dointvec() (int) users exist which likely should be moved over to proc_douintvec() (unsigned int) ? Answer: about 8 - Of these how many are array users ? Answer: Probably only 1 o How many sysctl array users exist ? Answer: about 12 This last question gives us an idea just how popular arrays: they are not. Array support should probably just be kept for strings. The identified uint ports are: drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c - max_backlog drivers/infiniband/core/iwcm.c - default_backlog net/core/sysctl_net_core.c - rps_sock_flow_sysctl() net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_timestamp.c - nf_conntrack_timestamp -- bool net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_acct.c nf_conntrack_acct -- bool net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ecache.c - nf_conntrack_events -- bool net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper.c - nf_conntrack_helper -- bool net/phonet/sysctl.c proc_local_port_range() The only possible array users is proc_local_port_range() but it does not seem worth it to add array support just for this given the range support works just as well. Unsigned int support should be desirable more for when you *need* more than INT_MAX or using int min/max support then does not suffice for your ranges. If you forget and by mistake happen to register an unsigned int proc entry with an array, the driver will fail and you will get something as follows: sysctl table check failed: debug/test_sysctl//uint_0002 array now allowed CPU: 2 PID: 1342 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G W E <etc> Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS <etc> Call Trace: dump_stack+0x63/0x81 __register_sysctl_table+0x350/0x650 ? kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x107/0x240 __register_sysctl_paths+0x1b3/0x1e0 ? 0xffffffffc005f000 register_sysctl_table+0x1f/0x30 test_sysctl_init+0x10/0x1000 [test_sysctl] do_one_initcall+0x52/0x1a0 ? kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x107/0x240 do_init_module+0x5f/0x200 load_module+0x1867/0x1bd0 ? __symbol_put+0x60/0x60 SYSC_finit_module+0xdf/0x110 SyS_finit_module+0xe/0x10 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1e/0xad RIP: 0033:0x7f042b22d119 <etc> Fixes: e7d316a02f68 ("sysctl: handle error writing UINT_MAX to u32 fields") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170519033554.18592-5-mcgrof@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Luis R.

89c5b53 sysctl: fix lax sysctl_check_table() sanity check Patch series "sysctl: few fixes", v5. I've been working on making kmod more deterministic, and as I did that I couldn't help but notice a few issues with sysctl. My end goal was just to fix unsigned int support, which back then was completely broken. Liping Zhang has sent up small atomic fixes, however it still missed yet one more fix and Alexey Dobriyan had also suggested to just drop array support given its complexity. I have inspected array support using Coccinelle and indeed its not that popular, so if in fact we can avoid it for new interfaces, I agree its best. I did develop a sysctl stress driver but will hold that off for another series. This patch (of 5): Commit 7c60c48f58a7 ("sysctl: Improve the sysctl sanity checks") improved sanity checks considerbly, however the enhancements on sysctl_check_table() meant adding a functional change so that only the last table entry's sanity error is propagated. It also changed the way errors were propagated so that each new check reset the err value, this means only last sanity check computed is used for an error. This has been in the kernel since v3.4 days. Fix this by carrying on errors from previous checks and iterations as we traverse the table and ensuring we keep any error from previous checks. We keep iterating on the table even if an error is found so we can complain for all errors found in one shot. This works as -EINVAL is always returned on error anyway, and the check for error is any non-zero value.

1229384 kdump: protect vmcoreinfo data under the crash memory Currently vmcoreinfo data is updated at boot time subsys_initcall(), it has the risk of being modified by some wrong code during system is running. As a result, vmcore dumped may contain the wrong vmcoreinfo. Later on, when using "crash", "makedumpfile", etc utility to parse this vmcore, we probably will get "Segmentation fault" or other unexpected errors. E.g. 1) wrong code overwrites vmcoreinfo_data; 2) further crashes the system; 3) trigger kdump, then we obviously will fail to recognize the crash context correctly due to the corrupted vmcoreinfo. Now except for vmcoreinfo, all the crash data is well protected(including the cpu note which is fully updated in the crash path, thus its correctness is guaranteed). Given that vmcoreinfo data is a large chunk prepared for kdump, we better protect it as well. To solve this, we relocate and copy vmcoreinfo_data to the crash memory when kdump is loading via kexec syscalls. Because the whole crash memory will be protected by existing arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() mechanism, we naturally protect vmcoreinfo_data from write(even read) access under kernel direct mapping after kdump is loaded. Since kdump is usually loaded at the very early stage after boot, we can trust the correctness of the vmcoreinfo data copied. On the other hand, we still need to operate the vmcoreinfo safe copy when crash happens to generate vmcoreinfo_note again, we rely on vmap() to map out a new kernel virtual address and update to use this new one instead in the following crash_save_vmcoreinfo(). BTW, we do not touch vmcoreinfo_note, because it will be fully updated using the protected vmcoreinfo_data after crash which is surely correct just like the cpu crash note.

5203f49 powerpc/fadump: use the correct VMCOREINFO_NOTE_SIZE for phdr vmcoreinfo_max_size stands for the vmcoreinfo_data, the correct one we should use is vmcoreinfo_note whose total size is VMCOREINFO_NOTE_SIZE. Like explained in commit 77019967f06b ("kdump: fix exported size of vmcoreinfo note"), it should not affect the actual function, but we better fix it, also this change should be safe and backward compatible. After this, we can get rid of variable vmcoreinfo_max_size, let's use the corresponding macros directly, fewer variables means more safety for vmcoreinfo operation.
