Subject: [PATCH] check for invalid physical address of /proc/kcore
|
|
when finding max_paddr
|
|
|
|
Kernel commit 464920104bf7adac12722035bfefb3d772eb04d8 ("/proc/kcore:
|
|
update physical address for kcore ram and text") sets an invalid paddr
|
|
(0xffffffffffffffff = -1) for PT_LOAD segments of not direct mapped
|
|
regions:
|
|
|
|
$ readelf -l /proc/kcore
|
|
...
|

makedumpfile uses max_paddr to calculate the number of sections for
|
|
sparse memory model thus wrong number is obtained based on max_paddr
|
|
(-1). This error could lead to the failure of copying /proc/kcore
|
|
for RHEL-8.5 on ppc64le machine [1]:
|
|
|
|
$ makedumpfile /proc/kcore vmcore1
|
|
get_mem_section: Could not validate mem_section.
|
|
get_mm_sparsemem: Can't get the address of mem_section.
|
|
|
|
makedumpfile Failed.
|
|
|
|
Let's check if the phys_start of the segment is a valid physical
|
|
address to fix this problem.
