Patch series "vmcoreinfo: support VMCOREINFO_BYTES larger than PAGE_SIZE". VMCOREINFO_BYTES is defined as a configurable size, but multiple code paths implicitly assume it always fits into a single page. This series removes that assumption by allocating and mapping vmcoreinfo based on its actual size. Patch 1 updates vmcoreinfo allocation to use get_order(VMCOREINFO_BYTES). Patch 2 updates crash kernel handling to correctly allocate and map multiple pages when copying vmcoreinfo. This makes vmcoreinfo size consistent across the kernel and avoids future breakage if VMCOREINFO_BYTES grows. (No functional change when VMCOREINFO_BYTES == PAGE_SIZE.) This patch (of 2): VMCOREINFO_BYTES defines the size of vmcoreinfo data, but the current implementation assumes a single page allocation. Allocate vmcoreinfo_data using get_order(VMCOREINFO_BYTES) so that vmcoreinfo can safely grow beyond PAGE_SIZE. This avoids hidden assumptions and keeps vmcoreinfo size consistent across the kernel.
