      x86/gart: Exclude GART aperture from kcore · ffc8599a
      Kairui Song authored
      
      On machines where the GART aperture is mapped over physical RAM,
      /proc/kcore contains the GART aperture range. Accessing the GART range via
      /proc/kcore results in a kernel crash.
      
      vmcore used to have the same issue, until it was fixed with commit
      2a3e83c6 ("x86/gart: Exclude GART aperture from vmcore")', leveraging
      existing hook infrastructure in vmcore to let /proc/vmcore return zeroes
      when attempting to read the aperture region, and so it won't read from the
      actual memory.
      
      Apply the same workaround for kcore. First implement the same hook
      infrastructure for kcore, then reuse the hook functions introduced in the
      previous vmcore fix. Just with some minor adjustment, rename some functions
      for more general usage, and simplify the hook infrastructure a bit as there
      is no module usage yet.
