Philipp Rudo 8cce437fbb s390/kdump: Fix elfcorehdr size calculation
Before the memory for the elfcorehdr is allocated the required size is
estimated with

       alloc_size = 0x1000 + get_cpu_cnt() * 0x4a0 +
               mem_chunk_cnt * sizeof(Elf64_Phdr);

Where 0x4a0 is used as size for the ELF notes to store the register
contend. This size is 8 bytes too small. Usually this does not immediately
cause a problem because the page reserved for overhead (Elf_Ehdr,
vmcoreinfo, etc.) is pretty generous. So usually there is enough spare
memory to counter the mis-calculated per cpu size. However, with growing
overhead and/or a huge cpu count the allocated size gets too small for the
elfcorehdr. Ultimately a BUG_ON is triggered causing the crash kernel to
panic.

Fix this by properly calculating the required size instead of relying on
magic numbers.

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.
