[ Upstream commit d5e3050c0feb8bf7b9a75482fafcc31b90257926 ]
If the properties 'linux,initrd-start' and 'linux,initrd-end' of
the chosen node populated from the bootloader, eg. U-Boot, are so that
start > end, then the phys_initrd_size calculated from end - start is
negative that subsequently gets converted to a high positive value for
being unsigned long long. Then, the memory region with the (invalid)
size is added to the bootmem and attempted being paged in paging_init()
that results in the kernel fault.
For example, on the FVP ARM64 system I'm running, the U-Boot populates
the 'linux,initrd-start' with 8800_0000 and 'linux,initrd-end' with 0.
The phys_initrd_size calculated is then ffff_ffff_7800_0000
(= 0 - 8800_0000 = -8800_0000 + ULLONG_MAX + 1). paging_init() then
attempts to map the address 8800_0000 + ffff_ffff_7800_0000 and oops'es
as below.
It should be stressed, it is generally a fault of the bootloader's with
the kernel relying on it, however we should not allow the bootloader's
misconfiguration to lead to the kernel oops. Not only the kernel should be
bullet proof against it but also finding the root cause of the paging
fault spanning over the bootloader, DT, and kernel may happen is not so
easy.
