x86/e820: Fix handling of subpage regions when calculating nosave ran…
…ges in e820__register_nosave_regions() commit f2f29da upstream. While debugging kexec/hibernation hangs and crashes, it turned out that the current implementation of e820__register_nosave_regions() suffers from multiple serious issues: - The end of last region is tracked by PFN, causing it to find holes that aren't there if two consecutive subpage regions are present - The nosave PFN ranges derived from holes are rounded out (instead of rounded in) which makes it inconsistent with how explicitly reserved regions are handled Fix this by: - Treating reserved regions as if they were holes, to ensure consistent handling (rounding out nosave PFN ranges is more correct as the kernel does not use partial pages) - Tracking the end of the last RAM region by address instead of pages to detect holes more precisely These bugs appear to have been introduced about ~18 years ago with the very first version of e820_mark_nosave_regions(), and its flawed assumptions were carried forward uninterrupted through various waves of rewrites and renames.
