Hari Bathini 1bd6a1c4b8 powerpc/fadump: handle crash memory ranges array index overflow 
Crash memory ranges is an array of memory ranges of the crashing kernel
to be exported as a dump via /proc/vmcore file. The size of the array
is set based on INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS, which works alright in most cases
where memblock memory regions count is less than INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS
value. But this count can grow beyond INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS value since
commit 142b45a72e ("memblock: Add array resizing support").

On large memory systems with a few DLPAR operations, the memblock memory
regions count could be larger than INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS value. On such
systems, registering fadump results in crash or other system failures
like below:

as array index overflow is not checked for while setting up crash memory
ranges causing memory corruption. To resolve this issue, dynamically
allocate memory for crash memory ranges and resize it incrementally,
in units of pagesize, on hitting array size limit.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
