Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Do not reference phys addr beyond kernel

From: Thomas Garnier <thgarnie@...gle.com>

The new physical address randomized KASLR implementation can cause the
kernel to be aligned close to the end of physical memory. In this case,
_brk_end aligned to PMD will go beyond what is expected safe and hit
the assert in __phys_addr_symbol():

	VIRTUAL_BUG_ON(y >= KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE);

Instead, perform an inclusive range check to avoid incorrectly triggering
the assert:

	kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:38!
	invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
	...
	RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffbe055721>] __phys_addr_symbol+0x41/0x50

Needed before the KASLR improvement series can be finished.
