badpage: replace page_remove_rmap Eeek and BUG
Now that bad pages are kept out of circulation, there is no need for the infamous page_remove_rmap() BUG() - once that page is freed, its negative mapcount will issue a "Bad page state" message and the page won't be freed. Removing the BUG() allows more info, on subsequent pages, to be gathered. We do have more info about the page at this point than bad_page() can know - notably, what the pmd is, which might pinpoint something like low 64kB corruption - but page_remove_rmap() isn't given the address to find that. In practice, there is only one call to page_remove_rmap() which has ever reported anything, that from zap_pte_range() (usually on exit, sometimes on munmap). It has all the info, so remove page_remove_rmap()'s "Eeek" message and leave it all to zap_pte_range(). mm/memory.c already has a hardly used print_bad_pte() function, showing some of the appropriate info: extend it to show what we want for the rmap case: pte info, page info (when there is a page) and vma info to compare. zap_pte_range() already knows the pmd, but print_bad_pte() is easier to use if it works that out for itself. Some of this info is also shown in bad_page()'s "Bad page state" message. Keep them separate, but adjust them to match each other as far as possible. Say "Bad page map" in print_bad_pte(), and add a TAINT_BAD_PAGE there too. print_bad_pte() show current->comm unconditionally (though it should get repeated in the usually irrelevant stack trace): sorry, I misled Nick Piggin to make it conditional on vm_mm == current->mm, but current->mm is already NULL in the exit case. Usually current->comm is good, though exceptionally it may not be that of the mm (when "swapoff" for example).
