On x86_32 Qemu machine with 1GB memory, the cmdline "crashkernel=4G" is ok as below: crashkernel reserved: 0x0000000020000000 - 0x0000000120000000 (4096 MB) It's similar on other architectures, such as ARM32 and RISCV32. The cause is that the crash_size is parsed and printed with "unsigned long long" data type which is 8 bytes but allocated used with "phys_addr_t" which is 4 bytes in memblock_phys_alloc_range(). Fix it by checking if crash_size is greater than system RAM size and return error if so. After this patch, there is no above confusing reserve success info.

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 reStructuredText 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.
