Subject: x86/efi: Disable runtime services on kexec kernel if booted with efi=old_map
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4e52797d2efefac3271abdc54439a3435abd77b9;p=linux.git

x86/efi: Disable runtime services on kexec kernel if booted with efi=old_map

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()
  efi_delete_dummy_variable()
  efi_enter_virtual_mode()
  start_kernel()
  x86_64_start_reservations()
  x86_64_start_kernel()
  start_cpu()

[ 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.
