This patch causes x86_64 boots with efi32 bios to crash early and hard
(before any console output is seen).
Sample qemu command line:
qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel arch/x86/boot/bzImage -M q35 -cpu SandyBridge \
-no-reboot -snapshot -smp 4 \
-bios OVMF-pure-efi-32.fd \
-m 1G \
-usb -device usb-storage,drive=d0 \
-drive file=rootfs.squashfs,if=none,id=d0,format=raw \
--append 'earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8 root=/dev/sda rootwait
panic=-1 console=ttyS0' \
-nographic
This is with qemu 3.1, though details other than "-bios OVMF-pure-efi-32.fd"
don't really matter.
Files used above are available from https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/.
The patch can not be reverted alone, but
Revert "x86/boot/KASLR: Limit KASLR to extract the kernel in immovable memory
only"
Revert "x86/boot: Parse SRAT table and count immovable memory regions"
Revert "x86/boot: Early parse RSDP and save it in boot_params"
fixes the problem.
Bisect log attached below.
