pstore/ram: Correctly calculate usable PRZ bytes
The actual number of bytes stored in a PRZ is smaller than the bytes requested by platform data, since there is a header on each PRZ. Additionally, if ECC is enabled, there are trailing bytes used as well. Normally this mismatch doesn't matter since PRZs are circular buffers and the leading "overflow" bytes are just thrown away. However, in the case of a compressed record, this rather badly corrupts the results. This corruption was visible with "ramoops.mem_size=204800 ramoops.ecc=1". Any stored crashes would not be uncompressable (producing a pstorefs "dmesg-*.enc.z" file), and triggering errors at boot: [ 2.790759] pstore: crypto_comp_decompress failed, ret = -22! Backporting this depends on commit 70ad35db ("pstore: Convert console write to use ->write_buf") Reported-by: Joel Fernandes <joel@joelfernandes.org> Fixes: b0aad7a9 ("pstore: Add compression support to pstore") Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org>
