If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Alex Thorlton commit f72075c9eda8a43aeea2f9dbb8d187afd4a76f0b upstream. This problem has actually been in the UV code for a while, but we didn't catch it until recently, because we had been relying on EFI_OLD_MEMMAP to allow our systems to boot for a period of time. We noticed the issue when trying to kexec a recent community kernel, where we hit this NULL pointer dereference in efi_sync_low_kernel_mappings(): [ 0.337515] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000880 [ 0.346276] IP: [] efi_sync_low_kernel_mappings+0x5d/0x1b0 The problem doesn't show up with EFI_OLD_MEMMAP because we skip the chunk of setup_efi_state() that sets the efi_loader_signature for the kexec'd kernel. When the kexec'd kernel boots, it won't set EFI_BOOT in setup_arch, so we completely avoid the bug. We always kexec with noefi on the command line, so this shouldn't be an issue, but since we're not actually checking for efi_runtime_disabled in uv_bios_init(), we end up trying to do EFI runtime callbacks when we shouldn't be. This patch just adds a check for efi_runtime_disabled in uv_bios_init() so that we don't map in uv_systab when runtime_disabled == true.
