docs: sysctl/kernel: add missing bit to panic_print

2022-04-08T12:06:57+00:00

commit a1ff1de00db21ecb956213f046b79741b64c6b65 upstream.

Patch series "Some improvements on panic_print".

This is a mix of a documentation fix with some additions to the
"panic_print" syscall / parameter.  The goal here is being able to collect
all CPUs backtraces during a panic event and also to enable "panic_print"
in a kdump event - details of the reasoning and design choices in the
patches.

This patch (of 3):

Commit de6da1e8bcf0 ("panic: add an option to replay all the printk
message in buffer") added a new bit to the sysctl/kernel parameter
"panic_print", but the documentation was added only in
kernel-parameters.txt, not in the sysctl guide.

Fix it here by adding bit 5 to sysctl admin-guide documentation.

vsprintf: Fix %pK with kptr_restrict == 0

2022-04-08T12:05:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit 84842911322fc6a02a03ab9e728a48c691fe3efd ]

Although kptr_restrict is set to 0 and the kernel is booted with
no_hash_pointers parameter, the content of /proc/vmallocinfo is
lacking the real addresses.

  / # cat /proc/vmallocinfo
  0x(ptrval)-0x(ptrval)    8192 load_module+0xc0c/0x2c0c pages=1 vmalloc
  0x(ptrval)-0x(ptrval)   12288 start_kernel+0x4e0/0x690 pages=2 vmalloc
  0x(ptrval)-0x(ptrval)   12288 start_kernel+0x4e0/0x690 pages=2 vmalloc
  0x(ptrval)-0x(ptrval)    8192 _mpic_map_mmio.constprop.0+0x20/0x44 phys=0x80041000 ioremap
  0x(ptrval)-0x(ptrval)   12288 _mpic_map_mmio.constprop.0+0x20/0x44 phys=0x80041000 ioremap
    ...

According to the documentation for /proc/sys/kernel/, %pK is
equivalent to %p when kptr_restrict is set to 0.

proc: fix documentation and description of pagemap

commit dd21bfa425c098b95ca86845f8e7d1ec1ddf6e4a upstream.

Since bit 57 was exported for uffd-wp write-protected (commit
fb8e37f35a2f: "mm/pagemap: export uffd-wp protection information"),
fixing it can reduce some unnecessary confusion.

Documentation: refer to config RANDOMIZE_BASE for kernel address-space randomization

2022-01-27T11:02:51+00:00

commit 82ca67321f55a8d1da6ac3ed611da3c32818bb37 upstream.

The config RANDOMIZE_SLAB does not exist, the authors probably intended to
refer to the config RANDOMIZE_BASE, which provides kernel address-space
randomization. They probably just confused SLAB with BASE (these two
four-letter words coincidentally share three common letters), as they also
point out the config SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM as further randomization within
the same sentence.

Fix the reference of the config for kernel address-space randomization to
the config that provides that.
