Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
029c54b095
Existing code that uses vmalloc_to_page() may assume that any address for which is_vmalloc_addr() returns true may be passed into vmalloc_to_page() to retrieve the associated struct page. This is not un unreasonable assumption to make, but on architectures that have CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP=y, it no longer holds, and we need to ensure that vmalloc_to_page() does not go off into the weeds trying to dereference huge PUDs or PMDs as table entries. Given that vmalloc() and vmap() themselves never create huge mappings or deal with compound pages at all, there is no correct answer in this case, so return NULL instead, and issue a warning. When reading /proc/kcore on arm64, you will hit an oops as soon as you hit the huge mappings used for the various segments that make up the mapping of vmlinux. With this patch applied, you will no longer hit the oops, but the kcore contents willl be incorrect (these regions will be zeroed out) We are fixing this for kcore specifically, so it avoids vread() for those regions. At least one other problematic user exists, i.e., /dev/kmem, but that is currently broken on arm64 for other reasons.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
