[PATCH 13/13] vmcore: introduce mmap_vmcore()

From: HATAYAMA Daisuke
Date: Thu Feb 14 2013 - 05:13:08 EST


This patch introduces mmap_vmcore().

If vmcore object has VMCORE_OLD_MEMORY type, remaped is a page on old
memory. If vmcore object has VMCORE_2ND_KERNEL type, remaped is buffer
on 2nd kernel.

Neither writable nor executable mapping is permitted even with
mprotect(). Non-writable mapping is also requirement of
remap_pfn_range() when mapping linear pags on non-consequtive physical
pages; see is_cow_mapping().

On ELF32 mmap() is not suppoted, returning -ENODEV, since then dump
file size must be less than 4GB; exiting read() interface is enough.

On x86-32 PAE kernels, mmap() supports at most 16TB memory only. This
limitation comes from the fact that the third argument of
remap_pfn_range(), pfn, is of 32-bit length on x86-32: unsigned long.
