Yuntao Wang 3177e6315b x86/kexec: fix incorrect end address passed to kernel_ident_mapping_init()
kernel_ident_mapping_init() takes an exclusive memory range [pstart, pend)
where pend is not included in the range, while res represents an inclusive
memory range [start, end] where end is considered part of the range.

Passing [start, end] rather than [start, end+1) to
kernel_ident_mapping_init() may result in the identity mapping for the
end address not being set up.

For example, when res->start is equal to res->end,
kernel_ident_mapping_init() will not establish any identity mapping. 
Similarly, when the value of res->end is a multiple of 2M and the page
table maps 2M pages, kernel_ident_mapping_init() will also not set up
identity mapping for res->end.

Therefore, passing res->end directly to kernel_ident_mapping_init() is
incorrect, the correct end address should be `res->end + 1`.

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 Restructured Text 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.
