Karol Herbst 6d60ce384d x86/mm/kmmio: Fix mmiotrace for page unaligned addresses
If something calls ioremap() with an address not aligned to PAGE_SIZE, the
returned address might be not aligned as well. This led to a probe
registered on exactly the returned address, but the entire page was armed
for mmiotracing.

On calling iounmap() the address passed to unregister_kmmio_probe() was
PAGE_SIZE aligned by the caller leading to a complete freeze of the
machine.

We should always page align addresses while (un)registerung mappings,
because the mmiotracer works on top of pages, not mappings. We still keep
track of the probes based on their real addresses and lengths though,
because the mmiotrace still needs to know what are mapped memory regions.

Also move the call to mmiotrace_iounmap() prior page aligning the address,
so that all probes are unregistered properly, otherwise the kernel ends up
failing memory allocations randomly after disabling the mmiotracer.

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
