Pratyush Yadav 89a3ecca49 kho: make sure page being restored is actually from KHO
When restoring a page, no sanity checks are done to make sure the page
actually came from a kexec handover.  The caller is trusted to pass in the
right address.  If the caller has a bug and passes in a wrong address, an
in-use page might be "restored" and returned, causing all sorts of memory
corruption.

Harden the page restore logic by stashing in a magic number in
page->private along with the order.  If the magic number does not match,
the page won't be touched.  page->private is an unsigned long.  The union
kho_page_info splits it into two parts, with one holding the order and the
other holding the magic number.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
