[RFC PATCH 4/4] x86: Fix EFI boot stub for large memory maps

From: Linn Crosetto
Date: Mon Aug 19 2013 - 16:01:56 EST


This patch adds support for EFI memory maps larger than 128 entries when
booted using the EFI boot stub.

The e820 map in struct boot_params can only hold 128 entries, but the
memory map provided by EFI may be larger. If the map contained more than
128 entries, exit_boot() would write beyond the e820_map array in
boot_params and the system would eventually halt in the BUG_ON check in
sanitize_e820_map().

In the case we come in through efi_main(), the EFI memory map is used.
Instead of populating e820_map in boot_params, create the e820 from the
EFI memory map in setup_arch() via a memory_setup hook.

The EFI memory map may also be added in efi_init() if the command line
parameter "add_efi_memmap" is specified. This is left intact to allow
the command line parameter to remain effective.
