Quanyang Wang 0c7d7cc2b4 asm-generic: sections: refactor memory_intersects
There are two problems with the current code of memory_intersects:

First, it doesn't check whether the region (begin, end) falls inside the
region (virt, vend), that is (virt < begin && vend > end).

The second problem is if vend is equal to begin, it will return true but
this is wrong since vend (virt + size) is not the last address of the
memory region but (virt + size -1) is.  The wrong determination will
trigger the misreporting when the function check_for_illegal_area calls
memory_intersects to check if the dma region intersects with stext region.

The misreporting is as below (stext is at 0x80100000):
 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 77 at kernel/dma/debug.c:1073 check_for_illegal_area+0x130/0x168

Refactor memory_intersects to fix the two problems above.

Before the 1d7db834a0 ("dma-debug: use memory_intersects()
directly"), memory_intersects is called only by printk_late_init:

printk_late_init -> init_section_intersects ->memory_intersects.

There were few places where memory_intersects was called.

When commit 1d7db834a0 ("dma-debug: use memory_intersects()
directly") was merged and CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG is enabled, the DMA
subsystem uses it to check for an illegal area and the calltrace above
is triggered.

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.
