Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm, efi: Check for valid image type
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2015 17:32:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1437579164-20176-1-git-send-email-bigeasy@linutronix.de> (raw)

I usually see
|Ignoring BGRT: failed to allocate memory for image (wanted 264301314 bytes)
|Ignoring BGRT: failed to allocate memory for image (wanted 3925872891 bytes)

sometimes I get

|------------[ cut here ]------------
|WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at mm/early_ioremap.c:136 __early_ioremap.constprop.0+0x113/0x1d3()
…
| [<ffffffff81b3de8c>] __early_ioremap.constprop.0+0x113/0x1d3
| [<ffffffff81b3e106>] early_ioremap+0x13/0x15
| [<ffffffff81b2c4a9>] efi_bgrt_init+0x1e2/0x27d
…

now and then. The data behind that pointer changes on each boot because
nobody preserves the content across kexec.

I don't know much about the requirement of having the .bmp in memory all the
time. Would it be a bad thing to compress the bmp and uncompress on cat from
userland? In my case the bmp has 272 KiB and LZO gets it down to 12KiB,
XZ 7.4KiB.
