There are reports [0] of cases where a corrupt EFI Memory Attributes Table leads to out of memory issues at boot because the descriptor size and entry count in the table header are still used to reserve the entire table in memory, even though the resulting region is gigabytes in size. Given that the EFI Memory Attributes Table is supposed to carry up to 3 entries for each EfiRuntimeServicesCode region in the EFI memory map, and given that there is no reason for the descriptor size used in the table to exceed the one used in the EFI memory map, 3x the size of the entire EFI memory map is a reasonable upper bound for the size of this table. This means that sizes exceeding that are highly likely to be based on corrupted data, and the table should just be ignored instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
