Omar Sandoval a8dd9c4df1 proc/kcore: don't grab lock for kclist_add()
Patch series "/proc/kcore improvements", v4.

This series makes a few improvements to /proc/kcore.  It fixes a couple of
small issues in v3 but is otherwise the same.  Patches 1, 2, and 3 are
prep patches.  Patch 4 is a fix/cleanup.  Patch 5 is another prep patch.
Patches 6 and 7 are optimizations to ->read().  Patch 8 makes it possible
to enable CRASH_CORE on any architecture, which is needed for patch 9.
Patch 9 adds vmcoreinfo to /proc/kcore.

This patch (of 9):

kclist_add() is only called at init time, so there's no point in grabbing
any locks.  We're also going to replace the rwlock with a rwsem, which we
don't want to try grabbing during early boot.

While we're here, mark kclist_add() with __init so that we'll get a
warning if it's called from non-init code.

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.
