# 298485 22-Apr-2016 ngie

Fix up pointer issues with lib/libkvm

In particular,
- avoid dereferencing NULL pointers
- test pointers against NULL, not 0
- test for errout == NULL in the top-level functions (kvm_open, kvm_openfiles,
kvm_open2, etc)
- Replace a realloc and free on failure with reallocf

# 291406 27-Nov-2015 jhb

Add support to libkvm for reading vmcores from other architectures.
- Add a kvaddr_type to represent kernel virtual addresses instead of
unsigned long.
- Add a struct kvm_nlist which is a stripped down version of struct nlist
that uses kvaddr_t for n_value.
- Add a kvm_native() routine that returns true if an open kvm descriptor
is for a native kernel and memory image.
- Add a kvm_open2() function similar to kvm_openfiles(). It drops the
unused 'swapfile' argument and adds a new function pointer argument for
a symbol resolving function. Native kernels still use _fdnlist() from
libc to resolve symbols if a resolver function is not supplied, but cross
kernels require a resolver.
- Add a kvm_nlist2() function similar to kvm_nlist() except that it uses
struct kvm_nlist instead of struct nlist.
- Add a kvm_read2() function similar to kvm_read() except that it uses
kvaddr_t instead of unsigned long for the kernel virtual address.
- Add a new kvm_arch switch of routines needed by a vmcore backend.
Each backend is responsible for implementing kvm_read2() for a given
vmcore format.
- Use libelf to read headers from ELF kernels and cores (except for
powerpc cores).
- Add internal helper routines for the common page offset hash table used
by the minidump backends.
- Port all of the existing kvm backends to implement a kvm_arch switch and
to be cross-friendly by using private constants instead of ones that
vary by platform (e.g. PAGE_SIZE). Static assertions are present when
a given backend is compiled natively to ensure the private constants
match the real ones.
- Enable all of the existing vmcore backends on all platforms. This means
that libkvm on any platform should be able to perform KVA translation
and read data from a vmcore of any platform.

Tested on: amd64, i386, sparc64 (marius)

libkvm code janitoring

- make WARNS=6 clean for archs w/o strict alignment requirments
- add const, ANSIfy, remove unused vars, cast types for comparison
- thanks to differing definitions of VM_MIN_ADDRESS across our archs, we
need to trick the compiler to not complain about signedness. We could
either fix VM_MIN_ADDRESS to always be a simple integer or make the
check conditional on $ARCH.

amd64: introduce minidump version 2

After KVA space was increased to 512GB on amd64 it became impractical
to use PTEs as entries in the minidump map of dumped pages, because size
of that map alone would already be 1GB.
Instead, we now use PDEs as page map entries and employ two stage lookup
in libkvm: virtual address -> PDE -> PTE -> physical address. PTEs are
now dumped as regular pages. Fixed page map size now is 2MB.

libkvm keeps support for accessing amd64 minidumps of version 1.
Support for 1GB pages is added.

Many thanks to Alan Cox for his guidance, numerous reviews, suggestions,
enhancments and corrections.

Teach libkvm how to read minidumps. It turns out that minidumps are
far more convenient for libkvm to work with because of the page table
block at the beginning. As a result, the MD code is smaller.

libkvm will automatically detect old vs mini dumps on i386 and amd64.

libkvm will handle i386 PAE and non-PAE modes. There is a PAE flag in
the i386 minidump header to signal the width of the entries in the
page table block.

Other convenient values are also present, such as kernbase and the direct
map addresses on amd64.
