Kees Cook a329975491 x86/mm: Report actual image regions in /proc/iomem
The resource reservations in /proc/iomem made for the kernel image did
not reflect the gaps between text, rodata, and data. Add the "rodata"
resource and update the start/end calculations to match the respective
calls to free_kernel_image_pages().

Before (booted with "nokaslr" for easier comparison):

00100000-bffd9fff : System RAM
  01000000-01e011d0 : Kernel code
  01e011d1-025619bf : Kernel data
  02a95000-035fffff : Kernel bss

After:

00100000-bffd9fff : System RAM
  01000000-01e011d0 : Kernel code
  02000000-023d4fff : Kernel rodata
  02400000-025619ff : Kernel data
  02a95000-035fffff : Kernel bss

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.
