Subject: vmcore: treat memory chunks referenced by PT_LOAD program header entries in page-size boundary in vmcore_list
Treat memory chunks referenced by PT_LOAD program header entries in
page-size boundary in vmcore_list. Formally, for each range [start, end],
we set up the corresponding vmcore object in vmcore_list to
[rounddown(start, PAGE_SIZE), roundup(end, PAGE_SIZE)].
This change affects layout of /proc/vmcore. The gaps generated by the
rearrangement are newly made visible to applications as holes.
Concretely, they are two ranges [rounddown(start, PAGE_SIZE), start] and
[end, roundup(end, PAGE_SIZE)].
Suppose variable m points at a vmcore object in vmcore_list, and variable
phdr points at the program header of PT_LOAD type the variable m
corresponds to. Then, pictorially:
m->offset +---------------+
| hole |
phdr->p_offset = +---------------+
m->offset + (paddr - start) | |\
| kernel memory | phdr->p_memsz
| |/
+---------------+
| hole |
m->offset + m->size +---------------+
where m->offset and m->offset + m->size are always page-size aligned.
