fs/proc/vmcore.c: hide vmcoredd_mmap_dumps() for nommu builds

2018-08-24T01:48:43+00:00

Without CONFIG_MMU, we get a build warning:

  fs/proc/vmcore.c:228:12: error: 'vmcoredd_mmap_dumps' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
   static int vmcoredd_mmap_dumps(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long dst,

The function is only referenced from an #ifdef'ed caller, so
this uses the same #ifdef around it.

fs/proc/vmcore.c: use new typedef vm_fault_t

2018-08-22T17:52:46+00:00

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler in struct
vm_operations_struct.  For now, this is just documenting that the function
returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno.  Once all instances are
converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type.

See 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t") for reference.

vmcore: move get_vmcore_size out of __init

2018-05-21T16:34:22+00:00

Fix below build warning:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x422bb8): Section mismatch in reference from
the function vmcore_add_device_dump() to the function
.init.text:get_vmcore_size.constprop.5()

The function vmcore_add_device_dump() references
the function __init get_vmcore_size.constprop.5().
This is often because vmcore_add_device_dump lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of get_vmcore_size.constprop.5 is wrong.

vmcore: append device dumps to vmcore as elf notes

2018-05-14T17:46:04+00:00

Update read and mmap logic to append device dumps as additional notes
before the other elf notes. We add device dumps before other elf notes
because the other elf notes may not fill the elf notes buffer
completely and we will end up with zero-filled data between the elf
notes and the device dumps. Tools will then try to decode this
zero-filled data as valid notes and we don't want that. Hence, adding
device dumps before the other elf notes ensure that zero-filled data
can be avoided. This also ensures that the device dumps and the
other elf notes can be properly mmaped at page aligned address.

Incorporate device dump size into the total vmcore size. Also update
offsets for other program headers after the device dumps are added.

vmcore: add API to collect hardware dump in second kernel

2018-05-14T17:46:04+00:00

The sequence of actions done by device drivers to append their device
specific hardware/firmware logs to /proc/vmcore are as follows:

1. During probe (before hardware is initialized), device drivers
register to the vmcore module (via vmcore_add_device_dump()), with
callback function, along with buffer size and log name needed for
firmware/hardware log collection.

2. vmcore module allocates the buffer with requested size. It adds
an Elf note and invokes the device driver's registered callback
function.

3. Device driver collects all hardware/firmware logs into the buffer
and returns control back to vmcore module.

Ensure that the device dump buffer size is always aligned to page size
so that it can be mmaped.

Also, rename alloc_elfnotes_buf() to vmcore_alloc_buf() to make it more
generic and reserve NT_VMCOREDD note type to indicate vmcore device
dump.

fs/proc/vmcore.c: simpler /proc/vmcore cleanup

2018-02-07T02:32:43+00:00

Iterators aren't necessary as you can just grab the first entry and delete
it until no entries left.

userfaultfd: non-cooperative: add event for memory unmaps

2017-02-25T01:46:55+00:00

When a non-cooperative userfaultfd monitor copies pages in the
background, it may encounter regions that were already unmapped.
Addition of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP allows the uffd monitor to track precisely
changes in the virtual memory layout.

Since there might be different uffd contexts for the affected VMAs, we
first should create a temporary representation for the unmap event for
each uffd context and then notify them one by one to the appropriate
userfault file descriptors.

The event notification occurs after the mmap_sem has been released.

mm, fs: reduce fault, page_mkwrite, and pfn_mkwrite to take only vmf

2017-02-25T01:46:54+00:00

->fault(), ->page_mkwrite(), and ->pfn_mkwrite() calls do not need to
take a vma and vmf parameter when the vma already resides in vmf.

Remove the vma parameter to simplify things.

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

crash_dump: Add vmcore_elf32_check_arch

2016-05-13T12:01:59+00:00

parse_crash_elf{32|64}_headers will check the headers via the
elf_check_arch respectively vmcore_elf64_check_arch macro.

The MIPS architecture implements those two macros differently.
In order to make the differentiation more explicit, let's introduce
an vmcore_elf32_check_arch to allow the archs to overwrite it.
