People complained that crashkernel high doesn't work when kaslr code
compiled in but add 'nokaslr' to diable it. Kexec has the same
phenomenon.
The root cause is a code bug which assigned the original loading address
of kernel to the local variable 'virt_addr' which represents the offset
of kernel virtual address randmoization. As we know, kernel can be loaded
to anywhere under 64T physically, this wrong assignment could cause kernel
relocation handling of x86 64 error if no kaslr is taken.
The v1 post can be found here:
x86/boot/KASLR: Skip relocation handling in no kaslr case
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9807789/
In v2, Ingo suggested that we should add a judgement to check if 'virt_addr'
is randomized to make kernel beyond the kernel mapping area. This checking
can let us know the error but not reset to firmware quietly as it does now.

For kernel text KASLR, the virtual address is confined to area of 1G,
[0xffffffff80000000, 0xffffffffc0000000). For the implemenataion of
virtual address randomization, we only randomize to get an offset
between 16M and 1G, then add this offset to the starting address,
0xffffffff80000000. Here 16M is the offset which is decided at linking
stage. So the amount of the local variable 'virt_addr' which respresents
the offset plus the kernel output size can not exceed KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE.
Add a judgement to check the offset. If out of bounds, print error
message and hang there.

Kernel text KASLR is separated into physical address and virtual
address randomization. And for virtual address randomization, we
only randomiza to get an offset between 16M and KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE.
So the initial value of 'virt_addr' should be LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR,
but not the original kernel loading address 'output'. It's a code
bug.
The bug will cause kernel failure if kernel is loaded at a different
position than the address, 16M, which is decided at compiled time.
Kexec/kdump is such pratical case.
To fix it, just assign LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR to virt_addr as initial
value.

This is a regression, with 4.12* kernel kexec reboot fails always on
my desktop pc now without kaslr being enabled.

For kernel text KASLR, the virtual address is confined to area of 1G,
[0xffffffff80000000, 0xffffffffc0000000). For the implemenataion of

Add a debug check for the offset. If out of bounds, print error

x86/boot/KASLR: Fix kexec crash due to 'virt_addr' calculation bug
Kernel text KASLR is separated into physical address and virtual
address randomization. And for virtual address randomization, we
only randomiza to get an offset between 16M and KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE.
So the initial value of 'virt_addr' should be LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR,
but not the original kernel loading address 'output'.
The bug will cause kernel boot failure if kernel is loaded at a different
position than the address, 16M, which is decided at compiled time.
Kexec/kdump is such practical case.
To fix it, just assign LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR to virt_addr as initial
value.
