If iov_iter_zero succeeds after failed copy_from_kernel_nofault,
we need to reset the ret value to zero otherwise it will be returned
as final return value of read_kcore_iter.

This fixes objdump -d dump over /proc/kcore for me.

<title>fs/proc/kcore.c: fix coccinelle reported ERROR instances</title>

Coccinelle complains about the nested reuse of the pointer `iter' with
different pointer type:

./fs/proc/kcore.c:515:26-30: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499
./fs/proc/kcore.c:534:23-27: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499
./fs/proc/kcore.c:550:40-44: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499
./fs/proc/kcore.c:568:27-31: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499
./fs/proc/kcore.c:581:28-32: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499
./fs/proc/kcore.c:599:27-31: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499

./fs/proc/kcore.c:614:26-30: ERROR: invalid reference to the index variable of the iterator on line 499

Replacing `struct kcore_list *iter' with `struct kcore_list *tmp' doesn't change the
scope and the functionality is the same and coccinelle seems happy.

NOTE: There was an issue with using `struct kcore_list *pos' as the nested iterator.
      The build did not work!

<title>fs/proc/kcore.c: allow translation of physical memory addresses</title>

When /proc/kcore is read an attempt to read the first two pages results in
HW-specific page swap on s390 and another (so called prefix) pages are
accessed instead.  That leads to a wrong read.

Allow architecture-specific translation of memory addresses using
kc_xlate_dev_mem_ptr() and kc_unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() callbacks similarily
to /dev/mem xlate_dev_mem_ptr() and unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() callbacks.  That
way an architecture can deal with specific physical memory ranges.

Re-use the existing /dev/mem callback implementation on s390, which
handles the described prefix pages swapping correctly.

For other architectures the default callback is basically NOP.  It is
expected the condition (vaddr == __va(__pa(vaddr))) always holds true for
KCORE_RAM memory type.

The deference here confuses me.

Maybe here want to say that because show_fd_locks() does not dereference
the files pointer, using the stale value of the files pointer is safe.

Correctly spelled comments make it easier for the reader to understand
the code.

replace 'deferences' with 'dereferences' in the comment &amp;
replace 'inialized' with 'initialized' in the comment.

Now move the relevant codes into separate files:
kernel/crash_reserve.c, include/linux/crash_reserve.h.

And add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling.

And also update the old ifdeffery of CONFIG_CRASH_CORE, including of
&lt;linux/crash_core.h&gt; and config item dependency on CRASH_CORE
accordingly.

And also do renaming as follows:
 - arch/xxx/kernel/{crash_core.c =&gt; vmcore_info.c}
because they are only related to vmcoreinfo exporting on x86, arm64,
riscv.

And also Remove config item CRASH_CORE, and rely on CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE to
decide if build in crash_core.c.

<title>proc/kcore: do not try to access unaccepted memory</title>

<content type='text'>
Support for unaccepted memory was added recently, refer commit
dcdfdd40fa82 ("mm: Add support for unaccepted memory"), whereby a virtual
machine may need to accept memory before it can be used.

Do not try to access unaccepted memory because it can cause the guest to
fail.

For /proc/kcore, which is read-only and does not support mmap, this means a
read of unaccepted memory will return zeros.

Support for unaccepted memory was added recently, refer commit
dcdfdd40fa82 ("mm: Add support for unaccepted memory"), whereby a virtual
machine may need to accept memory before it can be used.

Do not try to access unaccepted memory because it can cause the guest to
fail.

For /proc/kcore, which is read-only and does not support mmap, this means a
read of unaccepted memory will return zeros.

<title>fs/proc/kcore: reinstate bounce buffer for KCORE_TEXT regions</title>

<content type='text'>
Some architectures do not populate the entire range categorised by
KCORE_TEXT, so we must ensure that the kernel address we read from is
valid.

Unfortunately there is no solution currently available to do so with a
purely iterator solution so reinstate the bounce buffer in this instance
so we can use copy_from_kernel_nofault() in order to avoid page faults
when regions are unmapped.

This change partly reverts commit 2e1c0170771e ("fs/proc/kcore: avoid
bounce buffer for ktext data"), reinstating the bounce buffer, but adapts
the code to continue to use an iterator.

[lstoakes@gmail.com: correct comment to be strictly correct about reasoning]

<title>procfs: replace all non-returning strlcpy with strscpy</title>

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.  This read may exceed the
destination size limit.  This is both inefficient and can lead to linear
read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].  In an effort
to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy().
No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.
