Subject: [GIT PULL] EFI changes for v4.4
Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2015 10:49:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1445770144-22280-1-git-send-email-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> (raw)
Folks, please pull the following bugfix from Sai which prevents a
kernel panic when booting an EFI machine with CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL
enabled.
This bug was reported last year by Dave Hansen,
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/5462999A.7090706@intel.com
and since nobody else has reported it, and given that it's only
triggerable with a debug config option, I figured this should be
targeted at v4.4.
The following changes since commit 0f96a99dab366333439e110d6ad253bc7c557c09:
efi: Add "efi_fake_mem" boot option (2015-10-12 14:20:09 +0100)

x86/efi: Fix kernel panic when CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled (2015-10-25 10:22:25 +0000)
----------------------------------------------------------------
* Fix a kernel panic by not passing EFI virtual mapping addresses to
__pa() in the x86 pageattr code. Since these virtual addreses are
not part of the direct mapping or kernel text mapping, passing them
to __pa() will trigger a BUG_ON() when CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is
enabled - Sai Praneeth Prakhya
