We have a special check in read_vmcore() handler to check if the page was
reported as ram or not by the hypervisor (pfn_is_ram()).  However, when
vmcore is read with mmap() no such check is performed.  That can lead to
unpredictable results, e.g.  when running Xen PVHVM guest memcpy() after
mmap() on /proc/vmcore will hang processing HVMMEM_mmio_dm pages creating
enormous load in both DomU and Dom0.

Fix the issue by mapping each non-ram page to the zero page.  Keep direct
path with remap_oldmem_pfn_range() to avoid looping through all pages on
bare metal.

The issue can also be solved by overriding remap_oldmem_pfn_range() in
xen-specific code, as remap_oldmem_pfn_range() was been designed for.
That, however, would involve non-obvious xen code path for all x86 builds
with CONFIG_XEN_PVHVM=y and would prevent all other hypervisor-specific
code on x86 arch from doing the same override.

Currently when an empty PT_NOTE is detected, vmcore initialization
fails.  It sounds too harsh.  Because PT_NOTE could be empty, for
example, one offlined a cpu but never restarted kdump service, and after
crash, PT_NOTE program header is there but no data contains.  It's
better to warn about the empty PT_NOTE and continue to initialise
vmcore.

And ultimately the multiple PT_NOTE are merged into a single one, all
empty PT_NOTE are discarded naturally during the merge.  So empty
PT_NOTE is not visible to user space and vmcore is as good as expected.

Currently, update_note_header_size_elf64() and
update_note_header_size_elf32() will add the size of a PT_NOTE entry to
real_sz even if that causes real_sz to exceeds max_sz.  This patch
corrects the while loop logic in those routines to ensure that does not
happen and prints a warning if a PT_NOTE entry is dropped.  If zero
PT_NOTE entries are found or this condition is encountered because the
only entry was dropped, a warning is printed and an error is returned.

One possible negative side effect of exceeding the max_sz limit is an
allocation failure in merge_note_headers_elf64() or
merge_note_headers_elf32() which would produce console output such as
the following while booting the crash kernel.

  n_namesz = 0x80000008
  n_descsz = 0x510ae163

PROC_FS is a bool, so this code is either present or absent.  It will
never be modular, so using module_init as an alias for __initcall is
rather misleading.

Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to
obviously non-modular code, and that would be ugly at best.

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs.  one of the
priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of fs_initcall (which makes sense for fs code)
will thus change these registrations from level 6-device to level 5-fs
(i.e.  slightly earlier).  However no observable impact of that small
difference has been observed during testing, or is expected.

Also note that this change uncovers a missing semicolon bug in the
registration of vmcore_init as an initcall.

For zfcpdump we can't map the HSA storage because it is only available via
a read interface.  Therefore, for the new vmcore mmap feature we have
introduce a new mechanism to create mappings on demand.

This patch introduces a new architecture function remap_oldmem_pfn_range()
that should be used to create mappings with remap_pfn_range() for oldmem
areas that can be directly mapped.  For zfcpdump this is everything
besides of the HSA memory.  For the areas that are not mapped by
remap_oldmem_pfn_range() a generic vmcore a new generic vmcore fault
handler mmap_vmcore_fault() is called.

This handler works as follows:

* Get already available or new page from page cache (find_or_create_page)
* Check if /proc/vmcore page is filled with data (PageUptodate)
* If yes:
  Return that page
* If no:
  Fill page using __vmcore_read(), set PageUptodate, and return page

For s390 we want to use /proc/vmcore for our SCSI stand-alone dump
(zfcpdump).  We have support where the first HSA_SIZE bytes are saved into
a hypervisor owned memory area (HSA) before the kdump kernel is booted.
When the kdump kernel starts, it is restricted to use only HSA_SIZE bytes.

The advantages of this mechanism are:

 * No crashkernel memory has to be defined in the old kernel.
 * Early boot problems (before kexec_load has been done) can be dumped
 * Non-Linux systems can be dumped.

We modify the s390 copy_oldmem_page() function to read from the HSA memory
if memory below HSA_SIZE bytes is requested.

Since we cannot use the kexec tool to load the kernel in this scenario,
we have to build the ELF header in the 2nd (kdump/new) kernel.

So with the following patch set we would like to introduce the new
function that the ELF header for /proc/vmcore can be created in the 2nd
kernel memory.

The following steps are done during zfcpdump execution:

1.  Production system crashes
2.  User boots a SCSI disk that has been prepared with the zfcpdump tool
3.  Hypervisor saves CPU state of boot CPU and HSA_SIZE bytes of memory into HSA
4.  Boot loader loads kernel into low memory area
5.  Kernel boots and uses only HSA_SIZE bytes of memory
6.  Kernel saves registers of non-boot CPUs
7.  Kernel does memory detection for dump memory map
8.  Kernel creates ELF header for /proc/vmcore
9.  /proc/vmcore uses this header for initialization
10. The zfcpdump user space reads /proc/vmcore to write dump to SCSI disk
    - copy_oldmem_page() copies from HSA for memory below HSA_SIZE
    - copy_oldmem_page() copies from real memory for memory above HSA_SIZE

Currently for s390 we create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel with a
small trick.  We relocate the addresses in the ELF header in a way that
for the /proc/vmcore code it seems to be in the 1st kernel (old) memory
and the read_from_oldmem() returns the correct data.  This allows the
/proc/vmcore code to use the ELF header in the 2nd kernel.

This patch:

Exchange the old mechanism with the new and much cleaner function call
override feature that now offcially allows to create the ELF core header
in the 2nd kernel.

To use the new feature the following function have to be defined
by the architecture backend code to read from new memory:

 * elfcorehdr_alloc: Allocate ELF header
 * elfcorehdr_free: Free the memory of the ELF header
 * elfcorehdr_read: Read from ELF header
 * elfcorehdr_read_notes: Read from ELF notes

[crashkernel base, crashkernel base+crashkernel size]. The swap

This patch introduces mmap_vmcore().

Don't permit writable nor executable mapping even with mprotect()
because this mmap() is aimed at reading crash dump memory.  Non-writable
mapping is also requirement of remap_pfn_range() when mapping linear
pages on non-consecutive physical pages; see is_cow_mapping().

Set VM_MIXEDMAP flag to remap memory by remap_pfn_range and by
remap_vmalloc_range_pertial at the same time for a single vma.
do_munmap() can correctly clean partially remapped vma with two
functions in abnormal case.  See zap_pte_range(), vm_normal_page() and
their comments for details.

On x86-32 PAE kernels, mmap() supports at most 16TB memory only.  This
limitation comes from the fact that the third argument of
remap_pfn_range(), pfn, is of 32-bit length on x86-32: unsigned long.

The previous patches newly added holes before each chunk of memory and
the holes need to be count in vmcore file size.  There are two ways to
count file size in such a way:

1) suppose m is a poitner to the last vmcore object in vmcore_list.
   Then file size is (m->offset + m->size), or

2) calculate sum of size of buffers for ELF header, program headers,
   ELF note segments and objects in vmcore_list.

Although 1) is more direct and simpler than 2), 2) seems better in that
it reflects internal object structure of /proc/vmcore.  Thus, this patch
changes get_vmcore_size_elf{64, 32} so that it calculates size in the
way of 2).

As a result, both get_vmcore_size_elf{64, 32} have the same definition.
Merge them as get_vmcore_size.

The reasons why we don't allocate ELF note segment in the 1st kernel
(old memory) on page boundary is to keep backward compatibility for old
kernels, and that if doing so, we waste not a little memory due to
round-up operation to fit the memory to page boundary since most of the
buffers are in per-cpu area.

ELF notes are per-cpu, so total size of ELF note segments depends on
number of CPUs.  The current maximum number of CPUs on x86_64 is 5192,
and there's already system with 4192 CPUs in SGI, where total size
amounts to 1MB.  This can be larger in the near future or possibly even
now on another architecture that has larger size of note per a single
cpu.  Thus, to avoid the case where memory allocation for large block
fails, we allocate vmcore objects on vmalloc memory.

This patch adds elfnotes_buf and elfnotes_sz variables to keep pointer
to the ELF note segment buffer and its size.  There's no longer the
vmcore object that corresponds to the ELF note segment in vmcore_list.
Accordingly, read_vmcore() has new case for ELF note segment and
set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32}() and other helper functions starts
calculating offset from sum of size of ELF headers and size of ELF note
segment.

vmcore: treat memory chunks referenced by PT_LOAD program header entries in page-size boundary in vmcore_list

Treat memory chunks referenced by PT_LOAD program header entries in
page-size boundary in vmcore_list.  Formally, for each range [start,
end], we set up the corresponding vmcore object in vmcore_list to
[rounddown(start, PAGE_SIZE), roundup(end, PAGE_SIZE)].

This change affects layout of /proc/vmcore.  The gaps generated by the
rearrangement are newly made visible to applications as holes.
Concretely, they are two ranges [rounddown(start, PAGE_SIZE), start] and
[end, roundup(end, PAGE_SIZE)].

Suppose variable m points at a vmcore object in vmcore_list, and
variable phdr points at the program header of PT_LOAD type the variable
m corresponds to.  Then, pictorially:

  m->offset                    +---------------+
                               | hole          |
phdr->p_offset =               +---------------+
  m->offset + (paddr - start)  |               |\
                               | kernel memory | phdr->p_memsz
                               |               |/
                               +---------------+
                               | hole          |
  m->offset + m->size          +---------------+

where m->offset and m->offset + m->size are always page-size aligned.

Allocate ELF headers on page-size boundary using __get_free_pages()
instead of kmalloc().

Later patch will merge PT_NOTE entries into a single unique one and
decrease the buffer size actually used.  Keep original buffer size in
variable elfcorebuf_sz_orig to kfree the buffer later and actually used
buffer size with rounded up to page-size boundary in variable
elfcorebuf_sz separately.

The size of part of the ELF buffer exported from /proc/vmcore is
elfcorebuf_sz.

The merged, removed PT_NOTE entries, i.e.  the range [elfcorebuf_sz,
elfcorebuf_sz_orig], is filled with 0.

Use size of the ELF headers as an initial offset value in
set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32} and
process_ptload_program_headers_elf{64,32} in order to indicate that the
offset includes the holes towards the page boundary.

As a result, both set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32} have the same
definition.  Merge them as set_vmcore_list_offsets.

With the firmware-assisted dump support we don't require a reboot when we
are in second kernel after crash. The second kernel after crash is a normal
kernel boot and has knowledge about entire system RAM with the page tables
initialized for entire system RAM. Hence once the dump is saved to disk, we
can just release the reserved memory area for general use and continue
with second kernel as production kernel.

Hence when we release the reserved memory that contains dump data, the
'/proc/vmcore' will not be valid anymore. Hence this patch introduces
a cleanup routine that invalidates and removes the /proc/vmcore file. This
routine will be invoked before we release the reserved dump memory area.

The balloon driver in a Xen guest frees guest pages and marks them as
mmio.  When the kernel crashes and the crash kernel attempts to read the
oldmem via /proc/vmcore a read from ballooned pages will generate 100%
load in dom0 because Xen asks qemu-dm for the page content.  Since the
reads come in as 8byte requests each ballooned page is tried 512 times.

With this change a hook can be registered which checks wether the given
pfn is really ram.  The hook has to return a value > 0 for ram pages, a

pages.

This will reduce the time to read /proc/vmcore.  Without this change a
512M guest with 128M crashkernel region needs 200 seconds to read it, with
this change it takes just 2 seconds.

Allow architectures to redefine this macro if needed. This is useful for
example in architectures where 64-bit ELF vmcores are not supported.
Specifying zero vmcore_elf64_check_arch() allows compiler to optimize
away unnecessary parts of parse_crash_elf64_headers().

We also rename the macro to vmcore_elf64_check_arch() to reflect that it
is used for 64-bit vmcores only.

Commit 73296bc6 ("procfs: Use generic_file_llseek in /proc/vmcore")
broke seeking on /proc/vmcore.  This changes it back to use default_llseek
in order to restore the original behaviour.

The problem with generic_file_llseek is that it only allows seeks up to
inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes, which is zero on procfs and some other virtual
file systems.  We should merge generic_file_llseek and default_llseek some
day and clean this up in a proper way, but for 2.6.35/36, reverting vmcore
is the safer solution.

/proc/vmcore has no llseek and then falls down to use default_llseek.
This is racy against read_vmcore() that directly manipulates fpos
but it doesn't hold the bkl there so using it in llseek doesn't
protect anything.

Let's use generic_file_llseek() instead.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Remove the saved_max_pfn check from the /proc/vmcore function
read_from_oldmem().  No need to verify, we should be able to just trust
that "elfcorehdr=" is correctly passed to the crash kernel on the kernel
command line like we do with other parameters.

The read_from_oldmem() function in fs/proc/vmcore.c is quite similar to
read_from_oldmem() in drivers/char/mem.c, but only in the latter it makes
sense to use saved_max_pfn.  For oldmem it is used to determine when to
stop reading.  For vmcore we already have the elf header info pointing out
the physical memory regions, no need to pass the end-of- old-memory twice.

Removing the saved_max_pfn check from vmcore makes it possible for
architectures to skip oldmem but still support crash dump through vmcore -
without the need for the old saved_max_pfn cruft.

Architectures that want to play safe can do the saved_max_pfn check in
copy_oldmem_page().  Not sure why anyone would want to do that, but that's
even safer than today - the saved_max_pfn check in vmcore removed by this
patch only checks the first page.

The usage of elfcorehdr_addr has changed recently such that being set to
ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX is used by is_kdump_kernel() to indicate if the code is
executing in a kernel executed as a crash kernel.

However, arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c:reserve_elfcorehdr will rest
elfcorehdr_addr to ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX on error, which means any subsequent
calls to is_kdump_kernel() will return 0, even though they should return
1.

Ok, at this point in time there are no subsequent calls, but I think its
fair to say that there is ample scope for error or at the very least
confusion.

This patch add an extra state, ELFCORE_ADDR_ERR, which indicates that
elfcorehdr_addr was passed on the command line, and thus execution is
taking place in a crashdump kernel, but vmcore can't be used for some
reason.  This is tested for using is_vmcore_usable() and set using
vmcore_unusable().  A subsequent patch makes use of this new code.

To summarise, the states that elfcorehdr_addr can now be in are as follows:

ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX: not a crashdump kernel
ELFCORE_ADDR_ERR: crashdump kernel but vmcore is unusable
any other value:  crash dump kernel and vmcore is usable

o elfcorehdr_addr is used by not only the code under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE
  but also by the code which is not inside CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE.  For
  example, is_kdump_kernel() is used by powerpc code to determine if
  kernel is booting after a panic then use previous kernel's TCE table.
  So even if CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE is not set in second kernel, one should be
  able to correctly determine that we are booting after a panic and setup
  calgary iommu accordingly.

o So remove the assumption that elfcorehdr_addr is under
  CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE.

o Move definition of elfcorehdr_addr to arch dependent crash files.
  (Unfortunately crash dump does not have an arch independent file
  otherwise that would have been the best place).

o kexec.c is not the right place as one can Have CRASH_DUMP enabled in
  second kernel without KEXEC being enabled.

o I don't see sh setup code parsing the command line for
  elfcorehdr_addr.  I am wondering how does vmcore interface work on sh.
  Anyway, I am atleast defining elfcoredhr_addr so that compilation is not
  broken on sh.

The specific case I am encountering is kdump under Xen with a 64 bit
hypervisor and 32 bit kernel/userspace.  The dump created is 64 bit due to
the hypervisor but the dump kernel is 32 bit for maximum compatibility.

It's possibly less likely to be useful in a purely native scenario but I
see no reason to disallow it.
