[PATCH v3] x86/kexec: fix potential cmem->ranges out of bounds

From: fuqiang wang
Date: Fri Dec 22 2023 - 07:36:29 EST


In memmap_exclude_ranges(), there will exclude elfheader from
crashk_res. In the current x86 architecture code, the elfheader is
always allocated at crashk_res.start. It seems that there won't be a
split a new range. But it depends on the allocation position of
elfheader in crashk_res. To avoid potential out of bounds in future, add
a extra slot.

The similar issue also exists in fill_up_crash_elf_data(). The range to
be excluded is [0, 1M], start (0) is special and will not appear in the
middle of existing cmem->ranges[]. But in order to lest the low 1M could
be changed in the future, add a extra slot too.
