fs/proc/vmcore.c:mmap_vmcore: skip non-ram pages reported by hypervisors
We have a special check in read_vmcore() handler to check if the page was reported as ram or not by the hypervisor (pfn_is_ram()). However, when vmcore is read with mmap() no such check is performed. That can lead to unpredictable results, e.g. when running Xen PVHVM guest memcpy() after mmap() on /proc/vmcore will hang processing HVMMEM_mmio_dm pages creating enormous load in both DomU and Dom0. Fix the issue by mapping each non-ram page to the zero page. Keep direct path with remap_oldmem_pfn_range() to avoid looping through all pages on bare metal. The issue can also be solved by overriding remap_oldmem_pfn_range() in xen-specific code, as remap_oldmem_pfn_range() was been designed for. That, however, would involve non-obvious xen code path for all x86 builds with CONFIG_XEN_PVHVM=y and would prevent all other hypervisor-specific code on x86 arch from doing the same override.
