The quilt patch titled Subject: fs/proc/kcore.c: allow translation of physical memory addresses has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fs-proc-kcorec-allow-translation-of-physical-memory-addresses.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexander Gordeev agordeev@linux.ibm.com Subject: fs/proc/kcore.c: allow translation of physical memory addresses Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2024 14:21:19 +0200
When /proc/kcore is read an attempt to read the first two pages results in HW-specific page swap on s390 and another (so called prefix) pages are accessed instead. That leads to a wrong read.
Allow architecture-specific translation of memory addresses using kc_xlate_dev_mem_ptr() and kc_unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() callbacks similarily to /dev/mem xlate_dev_mem_ptr() and unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() callbacks. That way an architecture can deal with specific physical memory ranges.
Re-use the existing /dev/mem callback implementation on s390, which handles the described prefix pages swapping correctly.
For other architectures the default callback is basically NOP. It is expected the condition (vaddr == __va(__pa(vaddr))) always holds true for KCORE_RAM memory type.
