Commit in Fixes: added support for kexec-ing a kernel on panic using a
new system call. As part of it, it does prepare a memory map for the new
kernel.
However, while doing so, it wrongly accesses memory it has not
allocated: it accesses the first element of the cmem->ranges[] array in
memmap_exclude_ranges() but it has not allocated the memory for it in
crash_setup_memmap_entries(). As KASAN reports:
BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in crash_setup_memmap_entries+0x17e/0x3a0
Write of size 8 at addr ffffc90000426008 by task kexec/1187
(gdb) list *crash_setup_memmap_entries+0x17e
0xffffffff8107cafe is in crash_setup_memmap_entries (arch/x86/kernel/crash.c:322).
317 unsigned long long mend)
318 {
319 unsigned long start, end;
320
321 cmem->ranges[0].start = mstart;
322 cmem->ranges[0].end = mend;
323 cmem->nr_ranges = 1;
324
325 /* Exclude elf header region */
326 start = image->arch.elf_load_addr;
(gdb)
Make sure the ranges array becomes a single element allocated.

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.
