--- Comment #21 from commit-h...@freebsd.org --- A commit references this bug: Author: dexuan Date: Thu Mar 2 07:25:50 UTC 2017 New revision: 314547 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/314547 Log: loader.efi: reduce the size of the staging area if necessary The loader assumes physical memory in [2MB, 2MB + EFI_STAGING_SIZE) is Conventional Memory, but actually it may not, e.g. in the case of Hyper-V Generation-2 VM (i.e. UEFI VM) running on Windows Server 2012 R2 host, there is a BootServiceData memory block at the address 47.449MB and the memory is not writable. Without the patch, the loader will crash in efi_copy_finish(): see PR 211746. The patch verifies the end of the staging area, and reduces its size if necessary. This way, the loader will not try to write into the BootServiceData memory any longer. Thank Marcel Moolenaar for helping me on this issue! The patch also allocates the staging area in the first 1GB memory. See the comment in the patch for this.
