Arriving at read_kmem() with an offset representing a bogus kernel
address (e.g. 0 from a simple "cat /dev/kmem") leads to copy_to_user
faulting on the kernel-side read.
x86_64 happens to get away with this since the optimised implementation
uses "rep movs*", thus the user write (which is allowed to fault) and
the kernel read are the same instruction, the kernel-side fault falls
into the user-side fixup handler and the chain of events which
transpires ends up returning an error as one might expect, even if it's
an inappropriate -EFAULT. On other architectures, though, the read is
not covered by the fixup entry for the write, and we get a big scary
"Unable to hande kernel paging request..." dump.
The more typical use-case of mmap_kmem() has always (within living
memory at least) returned -EIO for addresses which don't satisfy
pfn_valid(), so let's make that consistent across {read,write}_kem()
too.

Provide a shmem_get_unmapped_area method in file_operations, called at
mmap time to decide the mapping address. It could be conditional on
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, but save #ifdefs in other places by making
it unconditional.
shmem_get_unmapped_area() first calls the usual mm->get_unmapped_area
(which we treat as a black box, highly dependent on architecture and
config and executable layout). Lots of conditions, and in most cases it
just goes with the address that chose; but when our huge stars are
rightly aligned, yet that did not provide a suitable address, go back to
ask for a larger arena, within which to align the mapping suitably.
There have to be some direct calls to shmem_get_unmapped_area(), not via
the file_operations: because of the way shmem_zero_setup() is called to
create a shmem object late in the mmap sequence, when MAP_SHARED is
requested with MAP_ANONYMOUS or /dev/zero. Though this only matters
when /proc/sys/vm/shmem_huge has been set.

Currently it's possible for broken (or malicious) userspace to flood a
kernel log indefinitely with messages a-la
Program dmidecode tried to access /dev/mem between f0000->100000
because range_is_allowed() is case of CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM being turned on
dumps this information each and every time devmem_is_allowed() fails.
Reportedly userspace that is able to trigger contignuous flow of these
messages exists.
It would be possible to rate limit this message, but that'd have a
questionable value; the administrator wouldn't get information about all
the failing accessess, so then the information would be both superfluous
and incomplete at the same time :)
Returning EPERM (which is what is actually happening) is enough indication
for userspace what has happened; no need to log this particular error as
some sort of special condition.

Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the
backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.
Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead. Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device. It also removes the need for
the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

The xlate_dev_{kmem,mem}_ptr() functions take either a physical address
or a kernel virtual address, so data types should be phys_addr_t and
void *. They both return a kernel virtual address which is only ever
used in calls to copy_{from,to}_user(), so make variables that store it
void * rather than char * for consistency.
Also only define a weak unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() function if architectures
haven't overridden them in the asm/io.h header file.

The loff_t type may be wider than phys_addr_t (e.g. on 32-bit systems).
Consequently, the file offset may be truncated in the assignment.
Currently, /dev/mem wraps around, which may cause applications to read
or write incorrect regions of memory by accident.
Let's follow POSIX file semantics here and return 0 when reading from
and -EFBIG when writing to an offset that cannot be represented by a
phys_addr_t.
Note that the conditional is optimized out by the compiler if loff_t
has the same size as phys_addr_t.

/dev/oldmem provides the interface for us to access the "old memory" in
the dump-capture kernel. Unfortunately, no one actually uses this
interface.
And this interface could actually cause some real problems if used on ia64
where the cached/uncached accesses are mixed. See the discussion from the
link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/12/386.
So Eric suggested that we should remove /dev/oldmem as an unused piece of
code.

1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct. Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.
Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

- Record-based stream instead of the traditional byte stream
buffer. All records carry a 64 bit timestamp, the syslog facility
and priority in the record header.
- Records consume almost the same amount, sometimes less memory than
the traditional byte stream buffer (if printk_time is enabled). The record
header is 16 bytes long, plus some padding bytes at the end if needed.
The byte-stream buffer needed 3 chars for the syslog prefix, 15 char for
the timestamp and a newline.
- Buffer management is based on message sequence numbers. When records
need to be discarded, the reading heads move on to the next full
record. Unlike the byte-stream buffer, no old logged lines get
truncated or partly overwritten by new ones. Sequence numbers also
allow consumers of the log stream to get notified if any message in
the stream they are about to read gets discarded during the time
of reading.
- Better buffered IO support for KERN_CONT continuation lines, when printk()
is called multiple times for a single line. The use of KERN_CONT is now
mandatory to use continuation; a few places in the kernel need trivial fixes
here. The buffering could possibly be extended to per-cpu variables to allow
better thread-safety for multiple printk() invocations for a single line.
- Full-featured syslog facility value support. Different facilities
can tag their messages. All userspace-injected messages enforce a
facility value > 0 now, to be able to reliably distinguish them from
the kernel-generated messages. Independent subsystems like a
baseband processor running its own firmware, or a kernel-related
userspace process can use their own unique facility values. Multiple
independent log streams can co-exist that way in the same
buffer. All share the same global sequence number counter to ensure
proper ordering (and interleaving) and to allow the consumers of the
log to reliably correlate the events from different facilities.

net/wireless: use generic_file_llseek in debugfs
drm: use noop_llseek
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was

be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

// This adds an llseek= method to all file operations,
// as a preparation for making no_llseek the default.
//
// The rules are
// - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open
// - use seq_lseek for sequential files
// - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos
// - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos,
// but we still want to allow users to call lseek

These devices don't do any writeback but their device inodes still can get
dirty so mark bdi appropriately so that bdi code does the right thing and files
inodes to lists of bdi carrying the device inodes.

Make /dev/console get initialised before any initialisation routine that
invokes modprobe because if modprobe fails, it's going to want to open
/dev/console, presumably to write an error message to.
The problem with that is that if the /dev/console driver is not yet
initialised, the chardev handler will call request_module() to invoke
modprobe, which will fail, because we never compile /dev/console as a
module.
This will lead to a modprobe loop, showing the following in the kernel
log:
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
This can happen, for example, when the built in md5 module can't find
the built in cryptomgr module (because the latter fails to initialise).
The md5 module comes before the call to tty_init(), presumably because
'crypto' comes before 'drivers' alphabetically.
Fix this by calling tty_init() from chrdev_init().

I hit this when we had a bug in IDR for a few days. Basically sysfs would
fail to create new inodes since it uses an IDR and therefore class_create
would fail.
While we are unlikely to see this fail we may as well handle it instead of
oopsing.

write_kmem() used to assume vwrite() always return the full buffer length.
However now vwrite() could return 0 to indicate memory hole. This
creates a bug that "buf" is not advanced accordingly.
Fix it to simply ignore the return value, hence the memory hole.

Otherwise vmalloc_to_page() will BUG().
This also makes the kmem read/write implementation aligned with mem(4):
"References to nonexistent locations cause errors to be returned." Here we
return -ENXIO (inspired by Hugh) if no bytes have been transfered to/from
user space, otherwise return partial read/write results.
