Subject: [PATCH 3/3] sadump: set info->page_size before cache_init()
Currently, makedumpfile results in Segmentation fault on sadump dump
files as follows:
# LANG=C makedumpfile -f --message-level=31 -ld31 -x vmlinux ./sadump_vmcore sadump_vmcore-ld31
sadump: read dump device as single partition
sadump: single partition configuration
page_size : 4096
sadump: timezone information is missing
Segmentation fault
By bisect, I found that this issue is caused by the following commit
that moves invocation of cache_init() in initial() a bit early:
# git bisect bad
8e2834bac4f62da3894da297f083068431be6d80 is the first bad commit

[PATCH v3 2/7] initial(): call cache_init() a bit early
Call cache_init() before get_kcore_dump_loads(), because latter uses
cache_search().
Call path is like this :
get_kcore_dump_loads() -> process_dump_load() -> vaddr_to_paddr() ->
vtop4_x86_64() -> readmem() -> cache_search()

In this timing, on sadump vmcores, info->page_size has not been
initialized yet so has 0. So, malloc() in cache_init() returns a chunk
of 0 size. A bit later, info->page_size is initialized with 4096.
Later processing on cache.c behaves assuming the chunk size is 8 *
4096. This destroys objects allocated after the chunk, resulting in
the above Segmentation fault.
To fix this issue, this commit moves setting info->page_size before
cache_init().
