This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- zesty' to 'verification-done-zesty'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-zesty' to 'verification-failed-zesty'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

This is caused by the fact that lspci issues a read() on /dev/mem at the offset where it expects to find the SMBIOS structure array. However, this region is classified as EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICE_DATA (as per the UEFI spec), and so it is omitted from the linear mapping. [Test] The issue was observed with kexec/kdump usecases when a FPDT ACPI table is presented to HLOS from the firmware. [Fix] Fixed upstream: 1151f838cb62 arm64: kernel: restrict /dev/mem read() calls to linear region [Regression Potential] The patch is confined to ARM64 arch, and applies only to systems with SMBIOS v2.0. Risk is low.
