[PATCH 0/7] /proc/kcore improvements

[Omar Sandoval]

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>

Hi,

This series makes a few improvements to /proc/kcore. Patches 1 and 2 are
prep patches. Patch 3 is a fix/cleanup. Patch 4 is another prep patch.
Patches 5 and 6 are optimizations to ->read(). Patch 7 adds vmcoreinfo
to /proc/kcore. This series is based on v4.18-rc3. Please consider it
for v4.19.

Thanks!

[PATCH 1/7] proc/kcore: don't grab lock for kclist_add()

[Omar Sandoval]

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>

kclist_add() is only called at init time, so there's no point in
grabbing any locks. We're also going to replace the rwlock with a rwsem,
which we don't want to try grabbing during early boot.

[PATCH 2/7] proc/kcore: replace kclist_lock rwlock with rwsem

[Omar Sandoval]

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>

Now we only need kclist_lock from user context and at fs init time, and
the following changes need to sleep while holding the kclist_lock.

[PATCH 3/7] proc/kcore: fix memory hotplug vs multiple opens race

[Omar Sandoval]

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>

There's a theoretical race condition that will cause /proc/kcore to miss
a memory hotplug event:

CPU0                              CPU1
// hotplug event 1
kcore_need_update = 1

open_kcore()                      open_kcore()
    kcore_update_ram()                kcore_update_ram()
        // Walk RAM                       // Walk RAM
        __kcore_update_ram()              __kcore_update_ram()
            kcore_need_update = 0

// hotplug event 2
kcore_need_update = 1
                                              kcore_need_update = 0

Note that CPU1 set up the RAM kcore entries with the state after hotplug
event 1 but cleared the flag for hotplug event 2. The RAM entries will
therefore be stale until there is another hotplug event.

This is an extremely unlikely sequence of events, but the fix makes the
synchronization saner, anyways: we serialize the entire update sequence,
which means that whoever clears the flag will always succeed in
replacing the kcore list.

[PATCH 4/7] proc/kcore: hold lock during read

[Omar Sandoval]

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>

Now that we're using an rwsem, we can hold it during the entirety of
read_kcore() and have a common return path. This is preparation for the
next change.

[PATCH 5/7] proc/kcore: clean up ELF header generation

[Omar Sandoval]

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>

Currently, the ELF file header, program headers, and note segment are
allocated all at once, in some icky code dating back to 2.3. Programs
tend to read the file header, then the program headers, then the note
segment, all separately, so this is a waste of effort. It's cleaner and
more efficient to handle the three separately.

[PATCH 6/7] proc/kcore: optimize multiple page reads

[Omar Sandoval]

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>

The current code does a full search of the segment list every time for
every page. This is wasteful, since it's almost certain that the next
page will be in the same segment. Instead, check if the previous segment
covers the current page before doing the list search.

[PATCH 7/7] proc/kcore: add vmcoreinfo note to /proc/kcore

[Omar Sandoval]

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>

The vmcoreinfo information is useful for runtime debugging tools, not
just for crash dumps. A lot of this information can be determined by
other means, but this is much more convenient.

Not sure why this confuses sparse. Maybe because it's #define elfhdr
elf64_hdr.

GCC doesn't complain, but I guess I can change it to "= {};", which
isn't strict C89 but both GCC and sparse are happy with.
