Subject: [PATCH] arm64: handle unmapped pages in initrd relocation
Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 19:30:31 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1454373031-24218-1-git-send-email-msalter@redhat.com> (raw)
Commit 4dffbfc48d65 ("arm64/efi: mark UEFI reserved regions as
MEMBLOCK_NOMAP") causes a potential problem in arm64 initrd relocation
code. If the kernel uses a pagesize greater than the 4k pagesize used
by UEFI, pagesize rounding may lead to one or both ends of the initrd
image to be marked unmapped. This leads to a panic when the kernel goes
to unpack it. This patch looks for unmapped pages at beginning and end
of the initrd image and if seen, relocated the initrd to a new area
completely covered by the kernel linear map.
