    arm64: acpi: fix alignment fault in accessing ACPI · 09ffcb0d
    AKASHI Takahiro authored
    This is a fix against the issue that crash dump kernel may hang up
    during booting, which can happen on any ACPI-based system with "ACPI
    Reclaim Memory."

    (diagnosis)
    * This fault is a data abort, alignment fault (ESR=0x96000021)
      during reading out ACPI table.
    * Initial ACPI tables are normally stored in system ram and marked as
      "ACPI Reclaim memory" by the firmware.
    * After the commit f56ab9a5 ("efi/arm: Don't mark ACPI reclaim
      memory as MEMBLOCK_NOMAP"), those regions are differently handled
      as they are "memblock-reserved", without NOMAP bit.
    * So they are now excluded from device tree's "usable-memory-range"
      which kexec-tools determines based on a current view of /proc/iomem.
    * When crash dump kernel boots up, it tries to accesses ACPI tables by
      mapping them with ioremap(), not ioremap_cache(), in acpi_os_ioremap()
      since they are no longer part of mapped system ram.
    * Given that ACPI accessor/helper functions are compiled in without
      unaligned access support (ACPI_MISALIGNMENT_NOT_SUPPORTED),
      any unaligned access to ACPI tables can cause a fatal panic.
    
    With this patch, acpi_os_ioremap() always honors memory attribute
    information provided by the firmware (EFI) and retaining cacheability
    allows the kernel safe access to ACPI tables.
