[ Upstream commit df865e8337c397471b95f51017fea559bc8abb4a ]

elf_kcore_store_hdr() uses __pa() to find the physical address of
KCORE_RAM or KCORE_TEXT entries exported as program headers.

This trips CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL's checks, as the KCORE_TEXT entries are
not in the linear map.

Handle these two cases separately, using __pa_symbol() for the KCORE_TEXT
entries.

Without CONFIG_MMU, we get a build warning:

Thomas reports:
 "While looking around in /proc on my v4.14.52 system I noticed that all
  processes got a lot of "Locked" memory in /proc/*/smaps. A lot more
  memory than a regular user can usually lock with mlock().

  Commit 493b0e9d945f (in v4.14-rc1) seems to have changed the behavior
  of "Locked".

  Before that commit the code was like this. Notice the VM_LOCKED check.

           (vma-&gt;vm_flags &amp; VM_LOCKED) ?
                (unsigned long)(mss.pss &gt;&gt; (10 + PSS_SHIFT)) : 0);

  After that commit Locked is now the same as Pss:

	  (unsigned long)(mss-&gt;pss &gt;&gt; (10 + PSS_SHIFT)));

  This looks like a mistake."

Indeed, the commit has added mss-&gt;pss_locked with the correct value that
depends on VM_LOCKED, but forgot to actually use it.  Fix it.

Pull vfs fix from Al Viro:
 "Followup to procfs-seq_file series this window"

This fixes a memory leak by making sure that proc seq files release any
private data on close.  The 'proc_seq_open' has to be properly paired
with 'proc_seq_release' that releases the extra private data.

kmemleak reported some memory leak on reading proc files. After adding
some debug lines, find that proc_seq_fops is using seq_release as
release handler, which won't handle the free of 'private' field of
seq_file, while in fact the open handler proc_seq_open could create
the private data with __seq_open_private when state_size is greater
than zero. So after reading files created with proc_create_seq_private,
such as /proc/timer_list and /proc/vmallocinfo, the private mem of a
seq_file is not freed. Fix it by adding the paired proc_seq_release
as the default release handler of proc_seq_ops instead of seq_release.

<title>proc: fix missing final NUL in get_mm_cmdline() rewrite</title>

<id>f5b65348fd77839b50e79bc0a5e536832ea52d8d</id>
<content type='text'>
The rewrite of the cmdline fetching missed the fact that we used to also
return the final terminating NUL character of the last argument.  I
hadn't noticed, and none of the tools I tested cared, but something
obviously must care, because Michal Kubecek noticed the change in
behavior.

Tweak the "find the end" logic to actually include the NUL character,
and once past the eend of argv, always start the strnlen() at the
expected (original) argument end.

This whole "allow people to rewrite their arguments in place" is a nasty
hack and requires that odd slop handling at the end of the argv array,
but it's our traditional model, so we continue to support it.

Make calculation of the size of the inline name in struct proc_dir_entry
automatic, rather than having to manually encode the numbers and failing to
allow for lockdep.

Require a minimum inline name size of 33+1 to allow for names that look
like two hex numbers with a dash between.

Code is structured like this:

	for ( ... p &lt; last; p++) {
		if (memcmp == 0)
			break;
	}
	if (p &gt;= last)
		ERROR
	OK

gcc doesn't see that if if lookup succeeds than post loop branch will
never be taken and skip it.
