Official kernel works fine.

For the first case: for vmap'd stack, __pa() returns a junk physical address and it might be easier to debug this incorrect address translation by a BUG() call instead of monitoring the warning log. Like __phys_addr_symbol() does. __phys_addr_symbol() uses VIRTUAL_BUG_ON() for non symbol addresses. > > > symbol addresses: kernel warning message > > That should already be the case today, since the kernel image is mapped > separately from the linear map, so __is_lm_address(symbol_addr) should > be false. > > > > > Maybe we should trap all non-linear address translations in the future. > > > > Signed-off-by: Miles Chen <miles.c...@mediatek.com> > > --- > > arch/arm64/mm/physaddr.c | 5 +++++ > > 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) > > > > diff --git a/arch/arm64/mm/physaddr.c b/arch/arm64/mm/physaddr.c > > index 67a9ba9eaa96..f6b935dad19c 100644 > > --- a/arch/arm64/mm/physaddr.c > > +++ b/arch/arm64/mm/physaddr.c > > @@ -14,6 +14,11 @@ phys_addr_t __virt_to_phys(unsigned long x) > > (void *)x, > > (void *)x); > > > > + /* trap all non-linear and non-symbol addresses */ > > + VIRTUAL_BUG_ON(!__is_lm_address(x) && > > + (x < (unsigned long)KERNEL_START || > > + x > (unsigned long)KERNEL_END)); > > The KERNEL_START and KERNEL_END definitions refer to the kernel image, > not the linear map, so it doesn't make any sense to permit those here. > > It is *not* valid to call __virt_to_phys() with a symbol address.
