During kexec_segment loading, when copying the content of the segment
(i.e. kexec_segment::kbuf or kexec_segment::buf) to its associated pages,
kimage_load_{cma,normal,crash}_segment handle the case where the physical
address of the segment is not page aligned, e.g. in
kimage_load_normal_segment:
page = kimage_alloc_page(image, GFP_HIGHUSER, maddr);
// ...
ptr = kmap_local_page(page);
// ...
ptr += maddr & ~PAGE_MASK;
mchunk = min_t(size_t, mbytes,
PAGE_SIZE - (maddr & ~PAGE_MASK));
// ^^^^ Non page-aligned segments handled here ^^^
// ...
if (image->file_mode)
memcpy(ptr, kbuf, uchunk);
else
result = copy_from_user(ptr, buf, uchunk);
(similar logic is present in kimage_load_{cma,crash}_segment).
This is actually not needed because, prior to their loading, all
kexec_segments first go through a vetting step in
`sanity_check_segment_list`, which rejects any segment that is not
page-aligned:
for (i = 0; i < nr_segments; i++) {
unsigned long mstart, mend;
mstart = image->segment[i].mem;
mend = mstart + image->segment[i].memsz;
// ...
if ((mstart & ~PAGE_MASK) || (mend & ~PAGE_MASK))
return -EADDRNOTAVAIL;
// ...
}
In case `sanity_check_segment_list` finds a non-page aligned the whole
kexec load is aborted and no segment is loaded.
This means that `kimage_load_{cma,normal,crash}_segment` never actually
have to handle non page-aligned segments and `(maddr & ~PAGE_MASK) == 0`
is always true no matter if the segment is coming from a file (i.e.
`kexec_file_load` syscall), from a user-space buffer (i.e. `kexec_load`
syscall) or created by the kernel through `kexec_add_buffer`. In the
latter case, `kexec_add_buffer` actually enforces the page alignment:
/* Ensure minimum alignment needed for segments. */
kbuf->memsz = ALIGN(kbuf->memsz, PAGE_SIZE);
kbuf->buf_align = max(kbuf->buf_align, PAGE_SIZE);

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
