[ Upstream commit 3d5854d75e3187147613130561b58f0b06166172 ] When /proc/kcore is read an attempt to read the first two pages results in HW-specific page swap on s390 and another (so called prefix) pages are accessed instead. That leads to a wrong read. Allow architecture-specific translation of memory addresses using kc_xlate_dev_mem_ptr() and kc_unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() callbacks similarily to /dev/mem xlate_dev_mem_ptr() and unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() callbacks. That way an architecture can deal with specific physical memory ranges. Re-use the existing /dev/mem callback implementation on s390, which handles the described prefix pages swapping correctly. For other architectures the default callback is basically NOP. It is expected the condition (vaddr == __va(__pa(vaddr))) always holds true for KCORE_RAM memory type.

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.
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.
