2016-09-24kexec: fix double-free when failing to relocate the purgatoryThiago Jung Bauermann
commit 070c43eea5043e950daa423707ae3c77e2f48edb upstream. If kexec_apply_relocations fails, kexec_load_purgatory frees pi->sechdrs and pi->purgatory_buf. This is redundant, because in case of error kimage_file_prepare_segments calls kimage_file_post_load_cleanup, which will also free those buffers. This causes two warnings like the following, one for pi->sechdrs and the other for pi->purgatory_buf: kexec-bzImage64: Loading purgatory failed ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2119 at mm/vmalloc.c:1490 __vunmap+0xc1/0xd0 Trying to vfree() nonexistent vm area (ffffc90000e91000) Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 2119 Comm: kexec Not tainted 4.8.0-rc3+ #5 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x4d/0x65 __warn+0xcb/0xf0 warn_slowpath_fmt+0x4f/0x60 ? find_vmap_area+0x19/0x70 ? kimage_file_post_load_cleanup+0x47/0xb0 __vunmap+0xc1/0xd0 vfree+0x2e/0x70 kimage_file_post_load_cleanup+0x5e/0xb0 SyS_kexec_file_load+0x448/0x680 ? putname+0x54/0x60 ? do_sys_open+0x190/0x1f0 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x13/0x8f ---[ end trace 158bb74f5950ca2b ]--- Fix by setting pi->sechdrs an pi->purgatory_buf to NULL, since vfree won't try to free a NULL pointer.

2015-11-06kexec: use file name as the output message prefixMinfei Huang
kexec output message misses the prefix "kexec", when Dave Young split the kexec code. Now, we use file name as the output message prefix. Currently, the format of output message: [ 140.290795] SYSC_kexec_load: hello, world [ 140.291534] kexec: sanity_check_segment_list: hello, world Ideally, the format of output message: [ 30.791503] kexec: SYSC_kexec_load, Hello, world [ 79.182752] kexec_core: sanity_check_segment_list, Hello, world Remove the custom prefix "kexec" in output message.

2015-09-10kexec: split kexec_file syscall code to kexec_file.cDave Young
Split kexec_file syscall related code to another file kernel/kexec_file.c so that the #ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE in kexec.c can be dropped. Sharing variables and functions are moved to kernel/kexec_internal.h per suggestion from Vivek and Petr.
