proc-vmcore: wrong data type casting fix
On i686 PAE enabled machine the contiguous physical area could be large
and it can cause trimming down variables in below calculation in
read_vmcore() and mmap_vmcore():
tsz = min_t(size_t, m->offset + m->size - *fpos, buflen);
That is, the types being used is like below on i686:
m->offset: unsigned long long int
m->size: unsigned long long int
*fpos: loff_t (long long int)
buflen: size_t (unsigned int)
So casting (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) by size_t means truncating a
given value by 4GB.
Suppose (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) being truncated to 0, buflen >0
then we will get tsz = 0. It is of course not an expected result.
Similarly we could also get other truncated values less than buflen.
Then the real size passed down is not correct any more.
If (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) is above 4GB, read_vmcore or
mmap_vmcore use the min_t result with truncated values being compared to
buflen. Then, fpos proceeds with the wrong value so that we reach below
bugs:
1) read_vmcore will refuse to continue so makedumpfile fails.
2) mmap_vmcore will trigger BUG_ON() in remap_pfn_range().
Use unsigned long long in min_t instead so that the variables in are not
truncated.
