proc/vmcore: fix signedness bug in read_from_oldmem()

2023-07-27T20:07:05+00:00

The bug is the error handling:

	if (tmp < nr_bytes) {

"tmp" can hold negative error codes but because "nr_bytes" is type size_t
the negative error codes are treated as very high positive values
(success).  Fix this by changing "nr_bytes" to type ssize_t.  The
"nr_bytes" variable is used to store values between 1 and PAGE_SIZE and
they can fit in ssize_t without any issue.

coredump, vmcore: Set p_align to 4 for PT_NOTE

2023-05-16T21:32:00+00:00

Tools like readelf/llvm-readelf use p_align to parse a PT_NOTE program
header as an array of 4-byte entries or 8-byte entries. Currently, there
are workarounds[1] in place for Linux to treat p_align==0 as 4. However,
it would be more appropriate to set the correct alignment so that tools
do not have to rely on guesswork. FreeBSD coredumps set p_align to 4 as
well.

ELF: fix all "Elf" typos

2023-04-08T20:45:37+00:00

ELF is acronym and therefore should be spelled in all caps.

I left one exception at Documentation/arm/nwfpe/nwfpe.rst which looks like
being written in the first person.

mm: replace vma->vm_flags direct modifications with modifier calls

2023-02-10T00:51:39+00:00

Replace direct modifications to vma->vm_flags with calls to modifier
functions to be able to track flag changes and to keep vma locking
correctness.

Merge tag 'pull-iov_iter' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull iov_iter updates from Al Viro:
 "iov_iter work; most of that is about getting rid of direction
  misannotations and (hopefully) preventing more of the same for the
  future"

* tag 'pull-iov_iter' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:

use less confusing names for iov_iter direction initializers

2022-11-25T18:01:55+00:00

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.

Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder
to misinterpret...

proc/vmcore: fix potential memory leak in vmcore_init()

2022-11-18T21:55:06+00:00

Patch series "Some minor cleanup patches resent".

The first three patches trivial clean up patches.

And for the patch "kexec: replace crash_mem_range with range", I got a
ibm-p9wr ppc64le system to test, it works well.


This patch (of 4):

elfcorehdr_alloc() allocates a memory chunk for elfcorehdr_addr with
kzalloc().  If is_vmcore_usable() returns false, elfcorehdr_addr is a
predefined value.  If parse_crash_elf_headers() gets some error and
returns a negetive value, the elfcorehdr_addr should be released with
elfcorehdr_free().

Fix it by calling elfcorehdr_free() when parse_crash_elf_headers() fails.
