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
  IP: efi_bgrt_init+0xfb/0x153

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:

  7b0a911478c7 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.

Sabrina Dubroca reported an early panic:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffff240001
  IP: efi_bgrt_init+0xdc/0x134

  [...]

  ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

... which was introduced by:

  7b0a911478c7 ("efi/x86: Move the EFI BGRT init code to early init code")

The cause is that on this machine the firmware provides the EFI ACPI BGRT
table even on legacy non-EFI bootups - which table should be EFI only.

The garbage BGRT data causes the efi_bgrt_init() panic.

Add a check to skip efi_bgrt_init() in case non-EFI bootup to work around
this firmware bug.

Prior to the pstore interface refactoring, the "id" generated during
a backend pstore_write() was only retained by the internal pstore
inode tracking list. Additionally the "part" was ignored, so EFI
would encode this in the id. This corrects the misunderstandings
and correctly sets "id" during pstore_write(), and uses "part"
directly during pstore_erase().

   memblock_clear_nomap() and memblock_cap_memory_range()

 - ARMv8.3 HWCAP bits for JavaScript conversion instructions, complex
   numbers and weaker release consistency

 - arm64 ACPI platform MSI support

 - arm perf updates: ACPI PMU support, L3 cache PMU in some Qualcomm
   SoCs, Cortex-A53 L2 cache events and DTLB refills, MAINTAINERS update
   for DT perf bindings

 - architected timer errata framework (the arch/arm64 changes only)

 - support for DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS in the arm64 iommu DMA API

 - arm64 KVM refactoring to use common system register definitions

 - remove support for ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache (no ARMv8 implementation
   using it and deprecated in the architecture) together with some
   I-cache handling clean-up

 - PE/COFF EFI header clean-up/hardening

 - define BUG() instruction without CONFIG_BUG

 - kdump support, including two necessary memblock additions:
   memblock_clear_nomap() and memblock_cap_memory_range()

 - ARMv8.3 HWCAP bits for JavaScript conversion instructions, complex
   numbers and weaker release consistency

 - arm64 ACPI platform MSI support

 - arm perf updates: ACPI PMU support, L3 cache PMU in some Qualcomm
   SoCs, Cortex-A53 L2 cache events and DTLB refills, MAINTAINERS update
   for DT perf bindings

 - architected timer errata framework (the arch/arm64 changes only)

 - support for DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS in the arm64 iommu DMA API

 - arm64 KVM refactoring to use common system register definitions

 - remove support for ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache (no ARMv8 implementation
   using it and deprecated in the architecture) together with some
   I-cache handling clean-up

 - PE/COFF EFI header clean-up/hardening

 - define BUG() instruction without CONFIG_BUG

Pull pstore updates from Kees Cook:
 "This has a large internal refactoring along with several smaller
  fixes.

   - constify compression structures; Bhumika Goyal

   - restore powerpc dumping; Ankit Kumar

   - fix more bugs in the rarely exercises module unloading logic

   - reorganize filesystem locking to fix problems noticed by lockdep

   - refactor internal pstore APIs to make development and review
     easier:
      - improve error reporting
      - add kernel-doc structure and function comments
      - avoid insane argument passing by using a common record
        structure"

<title>efi/libstub/arm: Don't use TASK_SIZE when randomizing the RT space</title>

As reported by James, Catalin and Mark, commit:

  e69176d68d26 ("ef/libstub/arm/arm64: Randomize the base of the UEFI rt services region")

... results in a crash in the firmware, regardless of whether KASLR
is in effect or not and whether the firmware implements EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL
or not.

Mark has identified the root cause to be the inappropriate use of
TASK_SIZE in the stub, which arm64 defines as:

  #define TASK_SIZE             (test_thread_flag(TIF_32BIT) ? \
                                TASK_SIZE_32 : TASK_SIZE_64)

and testing thread flags at this point results in the dereference of
pointers in uninitialized structures.

So instead, introduce a preprocessor symbol EFI_RT_VIRTUAL_LIMIT and
define it to TASK_SIZE_64 on arm64 and TASK_SIZE on ARM, both of which
are compile time constants. Also, change the 'headroom' variable to
static const to force an error if this might change in the future.
