[PATCH 4.9 042/152] nios2: reserve boot memory for device tree

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Apr 10 2017 - 13:45:37 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 921d701e6f31e1ffaca3560416af1aa04edb4c4f upstream.

Make sure to reserve the boot memory for the flattened device tree.
Otherwise it might get overwritten, e.g. when initial_boot_params is
copied, leading to a corrupted FDT and a boot hang/crash:

bootconsole [early0] enabled
Early console on uart16650 initialized at 0xf8001600
OF: fdt: Error -11 processing FDT
Kernel panic - not syncing: setup_cpuinfo: No CPU found in devicetree!

---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: setup_cpuinfo: No CPU found in devicetree!

Guenter Roeck says:

> fdt since the memory overlaps. Looks like the initial_boot_params memory
> is not reserved and (re-)allocated by early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch().
