kexec: move vmcoreinfo out of the kernel's .bss section
As Eric said,
"what we need to do is move the variable vmcoreinfo_note out of the
kernel's .bss section. And modify the code to regenerate and keep this
information in something like the control page.
Definitely something like this needs a page all to itself, and ideally
far away from any other kernel data structures. I clearly was not
watching closely the data someone decided to keep this silly thing in
the kernel's .bss section."
This patch allocates extra pages for these vmcoreinfo_XXX variables, one
advantage is that it enhances some safety of vmcoreinfo, because
vmcoreinfo now is kept far away from other kernel data structures.
