From a4ae05b7bfcdd72f135099b848e1777e486efb19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2018 16:53:14 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] kdump: write correct address of mem_section into vmcoreinfo commit a0b1280368d1e91ab72f849ef095b4f07a39bbf1 upstream. Depending on configuration mem_section can now be an array or a pointer to an array allocated dynamically. In most cases, we can continue to refer to it as 'mem_section' regardless of what it is. But there's one exception: '&mem_section' means "address of the array" if mem_section is an array, but if mem_section is a pointer, it would mean "address of the pointer". We've stepped onto this in kdump code. VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL(mem_section) writes down address of pointer into vmcoreinfo, not array as we wanted. Let's introduce VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL_ARRAY() that would handle the situation correctly for both cases.
