    efi: Fix boot panic because of invalid BGRT image address · 792ef14d
    Dave Young authored
    Maniaxx reported a kernel boot crash in the EFI code, which I emulated
    by using same invalid phys addr in code:
    
      BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffff280001

    There is also a similar bug filed in bugzilla.kernel.org:
    
      https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195633
    
    The crash is caused by this commit:
    
      7b0a9114 efi/x86: Move the EFI BGRT init code to early init code
    
    The root cause is the firmware on those machines provides invalid BGRT
    image addresses.
    
    In a kernel before above commit BGRT initializes late and uses ioremap()
    to map the image address. Ioremap validates the address, if it is not a
    valid physical address ioremap() just fails and returns. However in current
    kernel EFI BGRT initializes early and uses early_memremap() which does not
    validate the image address, and kernel panic happens.
    
    According to ACPI spec the BGRT image address should fall into
    EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA, see the section 5.2.22.4 of below document:
    
      http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6_1.pdf
    
    Fix this issue by validating the image address in efi_bgrt_init(). If the
    image address does not fall into any EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA areas we just
    bail out with a warning message.
