Subject: [PATCH v3 0/8] /proc/kcore improvements
From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@...com>
Hi,
This series makes a few improvements to /proc/kcore. Patches 1, 2, and 3
are prep patches. Patch 4 is a fix/cleanup. Patch 5 is another prep
patch. Patches 6 and 7 are optimizations to ->read(). Patch 8 adds
vmcoreinfo to /proc/kcore.
Again, based on v4.18-rc4 + James' patch in the mm tree, and tested with
crash and readelf.
Thanks!
Changes from v2:
- Add __init to kclist_add() as per Andrew
- Got rid of conversion of kcore_need_update from int to atomic_t and
just used xchg() instead of atomic_cmpxchg() (split out into a new
patch instead of combining it with the rwlock -> rwsem conversion)
- Add comment about the increase in file size to patch 8
Changes from v1:
- Rebased onto v4.18-rc4 + James' patch
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10519739/) in the mm tree
- Fix spurious sparse warning (see the report and response in
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10512431/)
