If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sai Praneeth [ Upstream commit 4e52797d2efefac3271abdc54439a3435abd77b9 ] 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.
