[PATCH for 3.14.y] x86/efi: Make efi virtual runtime map passing more robust

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Thu Apr 10 2014 - 09:00:34 EST


Hi Greg,

please take the patch into the stable 3.14.y queue. It fixes a number
of EFI machines which makes a stable backport a good thing. Before you
apply it though, cherry-pick 42a5477251f on which this patch depends.
Then, you apply the backport I'm adding below.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] x86/efi: Make efi virtual runtime map passing more robust

Upstream commit: b7b898ae0c0a82489511a1ce1b35f26215e6beb5

Currently, running SetVirtualAddressMap() and passing the physical
address of the virtual map array was working only by a lucky coincidence
because the memory was present in the EFI page table too. Until Toshi
went and booted this on a big HP box - the krealloc() manner of resizing
the memmap we're doing did allocate from such physical addresses which
were not mapped anymore and boom:

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1386806463.1791.295.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

One way to take care of that issue is to reimplement the krealloc thing
but with pages. We start with contiguous pages of order 1, i.e. 2 pages,
and when we deplete that memory (shouldn't happen all that often but you
know firmware) we realloc the next power-of-two pages.

Having the pages, it is much more handy and easy to map them into the
EFI page table with the already existing mapping code which we're using
for building the virtual mappings.

Thanks to Toshi Kani and Matt for the great debugging help.
