Subject: [PATCH 3/5] x86/efi: Disable runtime services on kexec kernel if booted with efi=old_map
Date: Fri, 26 May 2017 12:36:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170526113652.21339-4-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170526113652.21339-1-matt-mF/unelCI9GS6iBeEJttW/XRex20P6io@public.gmane.org>
From: Sai Praneeth <sai.praneeth.prakhya-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>
Booting kexec kernel with "efi=old_map" in kernel command line hits
kernel panic as shown below.
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff88007fe78070
IP: virt_efi_set_variable.part.7+0x63/0x1b0
PGD 7ea28067
PUD 7ea2b067
PMD 7ea2d067
PTE 0

Call Trace:

[ efi=old_map was never intended to work with kexec. The problem with
using efi=old_map is that the virtual addresses are assigned from the
memory region used by other kernel mappings; vmalloc() space.
Potentially there could be collisions when booting kexec if something
else is mapped at the virtual address we allocated for runtime service
regions in the initial boot - Matt Fleming ]
Since kexec was never intended to work with efi=old_map, disable
runtime services in kexec if booted with efi=old_map, so that we don't
panic.
