[PATCH v4] x86/gart/kcore: Exclude GART aperture from kcore

From: Kairui Song
Date: Wed Mar 06 2019 - 06:44:39 EST


On machines where the GART aperture is mapped over physical RAM,
/proc/kcore contains the GART aperture range and reading it may lead
to kernel panic.

Vmcore used to have the same issue, until we fixed it in
commit 2a3e83c6f96c ("x86/gart: Exclude GART aperture from vmcore")',
leveraging existing hook infrastructure in vmcore to let /proc/vmcore
return zeroes when attempting to read the aperture region, and so it
won't read from the actual memory.

We apply the same workaround for kcore. First implement the same hook
infrastructure for kcore, then reuse the hook function introduced in
previous vmcore fix. Just with some minor adjustment, rename some
functions for more general usage, and simplify the hook infrastructure
a bit as there is no module usage yet.

Update from V3:
- Reuse the approach in V2, as Jiri noticed V3 approach may fail
some use case. It introduce overlapped region in kcore, and can't
garenteen the read request will fall into the region we wanted.
- Improve some function naming suggested by Baoquan in V2.
- Simplify the hook registering and checking, we are not exporting the
hook register function for now, no need to make it that complex.
- Simplify the commit message

Update from V2:
Instead of repeating the same hook infrastructure for kcore, introduce
a new kcore area type to avoid reading from, and let kcore always bypass
this kind of area.

Update from V1:
Fix a complie error when CONFIG_PROC_KCORE is not set
