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:
  virt_efi_set_variable+0x5d/0x70
  efi_delete_dummy_variable+0x7a/0x80
  efi_enter_virtual_mode+0x3f6/0x4a7
  start_kernel+0x375/0x400
  x86_64_start_reservations+0x2a/0x2c
  x86_64_start_kernel+0x168/0x176
  start_cpu+0x14/0x14

[ 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.
