x86/boot/compressed/64: Lenovo Ideapad Miix300 bug report
From: Fabio Aiuto

Dear Joerg and other x86 developers,
I work on a Lenovo Ideapad Miix 300-10IBY (intel baytrail based)
for hardware tests.
I have fedora 34 installed on, and since I updated to the 5.13.x
versions, the tablet very often freezes at Lenovo startup logo.
I did a bisect and found that the commit that introduced
the bug is:
commit 79419e13e8082cc15d174df979a363528e31f2e7

x86/boot/compressed/64: Setup IDT in startup_32 boot path
This boot path needs exception handling when it is used with SEV-ES.
Setup an IDT and provide a helper function to write IDT entries for
use in 32-bit protected mode.

I tried also to checkout a v5.13 and revert this commit
together with the following:
fef81c86262879d4b1176ef51a834c15b805ebb9
"x86/boot/compressed/64: Check SEV encryption in the 32-bit boot-path"
e927e62d8e370ebfc0d702fec22bc752249ebcef
"x86/boot/compressed/64: Add CPUID sanity check to 32-bit boot-path"
1ccdbf748d862bc2ea106fa9f2300983c77860fe
"x86/boot/compressed/64: Add 32-bit boot #VC handler"
to ensure an errorless build. The kernel works fine on tablet
without those changes.
My efibootmgr -v output is:
BootCurrent: 0000
Timeout: 2 seconds
BootOrder: 0000,0001,2001,2002,2003
Boot0000* Fedora HD(1,GPT,1bb602be-6ed0-4ef5-aee4-b26891963c4a,0x800,0xaf000)/File(\EFI\fedora\shimia32.efi)

Boot2001* EFI USB Device RC
Boot2002* EFI DVD/CDROM RC
Boot2003* EFI Network RC
This means that on startup is followed the 32-bit boot-path.
CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y
Tell me if can help, I started contributing to linux kernel
five months ago in staging subsystem. I'd be glad to contribute
to such a core area of the kernel.
thank you in advance,
fabio
