Maniaxx reported a kernel boot crash in the EFI code, which I emulated by using same invalid phys addr in code: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffffff280001 IP: efi_bgrt_init+0xfb/0x153 ... Call Trace: ? bgrt_init+0xbc/0xbc acpi_parse_bgrt+0xe/0x12 acpi_table_parse+0x89/0xb8 acpi_boot_init+0x445/0x4e2 ? acpi_parse_x2apic+0x79/0x79 ? dmi_ignore_irq0_timer_override+0x33/0x33 setup_arch+0xb63/0xc82 ? early_idt_handler_array+0x120/0x120 start_kernel+0xb7/0x443 ? early_idt_handler_array+0x120/0x120 x86_64_start_reservations+0x29/0x2b x86_64_start_kernel+0x154/0x177 secondary_startup_64+0x9f/0x9f There is also a similar bug filed in bugzilla.kernel.org: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195633 The crash is caused by this commit:7b0a911478efi/x86: Move the EFI BGRT init code to early init code The root cause is the firmware on those machines provides invalid BGRT image addresses. In a kernel before above commit BGRT initializes late and uses ioremap() to map the image address. Ioremap validates the address, if it is not a valid physical address ioremap() just fails and returns. However in current kernel EFI BGRT initializes early and uses early_memremap() which does not validate the image address, and kernel panic happens. According to ACPI spec the BGRT image address should fall into EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA, see the section 5.2.22.4 of below document: http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6_1.pdf Fix this issue by validating the image address in efi_bgrt_init(). If the image address does not fall into any EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA areas we just bail out with a warning message.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
