s390 allocates+prepares the elfcore hdr in the dump (2nd) kernel, not in
the crashed kernel.
RAM provided by memory devices such as virtio-mem can only be detected
using the device driver; when vmcore_init() is called, these device
drivers are usually not loaded yet, or the devices did not get probed
yet. Consequently, on s390 these RAM ranges will not be included in
the crash dump, which makes the dump partially corrupt and is
unfortunate.
Instead of deferring the vmcore_init() call, to an (unclear?) later point,
let's reuse the vmcore_cb infrastructure to obtain device RAM ranges as
the device drivers probe the device and get access to this information.
Then, we'll add these ranges to the vmcore, adding more PT_LOAD
entries and updating the offsets+vmcore size.
Use a separate Kconfig option to be set by an architecture to include this
code only if the arch really needs it. Further, we'll make the config
depend on the relevant drivers (i.e., virtio_mem) once they implement
support (next). The alternative of having a PROVIDE_PROC_VMCORE_DEVICE_RAM
config option was dropped for now for simplicity.
The current target use case is s390, which only creates an elf64
elfcore, so focusing on elf64 is sufficient.

These vmcore defines are not related to /proc/kcore, move them out.
We'll move "struct vmcoredd_node" to vmcore.c, because it is only used
internally. While "struct vmcore" is only used internally for now,
we're planning on using it from inline functions in crash_dump.h next,
so move it to crash_dump.h.
While at it, rename "struct vmcore" to "struct vmcore_range", which is a
more suitable name and will make the usage of it outside of vmcore.c
clearer.

The vmcoredd_update_size() call and its effects (size/offset changes) are
currently completely unsynchronized, and will cause trouble when
performed concurrently, or when done while someone is already reading the
vmcore.
Let's protect all vmcore modifications by the vmcore_mutex, disallow vmcore
modifications while the vmcore is open, and warn on vmcore
modifications after the vmcore was already opened once: modifications
while the vmcore is open are unsafe, and modifications after the vmcore
was opened indicates trouble. Properly synchronize against concurrent
opening of the vmcore.
No need to grab the mutex during mmap()/read(): after we opened the
vmcore, modifications are impossible.
It's worth noting that modifications after the vmcore was opened are
completely unexpected, so failing if open, and warning if already opened
(+closed again) is good enough.
This change not only handles concurrent adding of device dumps +
concurrent reading of the vmcore properly, it also prepares for other
mechanisms that will modify the vmcore.

Now that we have a mutex that synchronizes against opening of the vmcore,
let's use that one to replace vmcoredd_mutex: there is no need to have
two separate ones.
This is a preparation for properly preventing vmcore modifications
after the vmcore was opened.

We want to protect vmcore modifications from concurrent opening of
the vmcore, and also serialize vmcore modification.
(a) We can currently modify the vmcore after it was opened. This can happen
if a vmcoredd is added after the vmcore module was initialized and
already opened by user space. We want to fix that and prepare for
new code wanting to serialize against concurrent opening.
(b) To handle it cleanly we need to protect the modifications against
concurrent opening. As the modifications end up allocating memory and
can sleep, we cannot rely on the spinlock.
Let's convert the spinlock into a mutex to prepare for further changes.

Since commit 5cbcb62ddd ("fs/proc: fix softlockup in __read_vmcore") the
number of softlockups in __read_vmcore at kdump time have gone down, but
they still happen sometimes.
In a memory constrained environment like the kdump image, a softlockup is
not just a harmless message, but it can interfere with things like RCU
freeing memory, causing the crashdump to get stuck.
The second loop in __read_vmcore has a lot more opportunities for natural
sleep points, like scheduling out while waiting for a data write to
happen, but apparently that is not always enough.
Add a cond_resched() to the second loop in __read_vmcore to (hopefully)
get rid of the softlockups.

While taking a kernel core dump with makedumpfile on a larger system,
softlockup messages often appear.
While softlockup warnings can be harmless, they can also interfere with
things like RCU freeing memory, which can be problematic when the kdump
kexec image is configured with as little memory as possible.
Avoid the softlockup, and give things like work items and RCU a chance to
do their thing during __read_vmcore by adding a cond_resched.

strncpy() is in the process of being replaced as it is deprecated [1].
We should move towards safer and less ambiguous string interfaces.
Looking at vmcoredd_header's definition:
| struct vmcoredd_header {
| __u32 n_namesz; /* Name size */
| __u32 n_descsz; /* Content size */
| __u32 n_type; /* NT_VMCOREDD */
| __u8 name[8]; /* LINUX\0\0\0 */
| __u8 dump_name[VMCOREDD_MAX_NAME_BYTES]; /* Device dump's name */
| };
.. we see that @name wants to be NUL-padded.
We're copying data->dump_name which is defined as:
| char dump_name[VMCOREDD_MAX_NAME_BYTES]; /* Unique name of the dump */
.. which shares the same size as vdd_hdr->dump_name. Let's make sure we
NUL-pad this as well.
Use strscpy_pad() which NUL-terminates and NUL-pads its destination
buffers. Specifically, use the new 2-argument version of strscpy_pad
introduced in Commit e6584c3964 ("string: Allow 2-argument
strscpy()").

the wrong way.
Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder
