Here is a detailed explanation of what is causing the EFI memory map corruption, with added debug logs and memblock debugging enabled:
Initially at boot, efi_memblock_x86_reserve_range() does early_memremap() of the EFI memory map passed as part of setup_data, as the following logs show:
...
[ 0.000000] efi: in efi_memblock_x86_reserve_range, phys map 0x27fff9110 [ 0.000000] memblock_reserve: [0x000000027fff9110-0x000000027fffa12f] efi_memblock_x86_reserve_range+0x168/0x2a0
...
Later, efi_arch_mem_reserve() is invoked, which calls efi_memmap_alloc() which does memblock_phys_alloc() to insert new EFI memory descriptor into efi.memap:
...
[ 0.733263] memblock_reserve: [0x000000027ffcaf80-0x000000027ffcbfff] memblock_alloc_range_nid+0xf1/0x1b0 [ 0.734787] efi: efi_arch_mem_reserve, efi phys map 0x27ffcaf80
...
Finally, at the end of boot, kexec_enter_virtual_mode() is called.
It does mapping of efi regions which were passed via setup_data.
So it unregisters the early mem-remapped EFI memmap and installs the new EFI memory map as below:
( Because of efi_arch_mem_reserve() getting invoked, the new EFI memmap phys base being remapped now is the memblock allocation done in efi_arch_mem_reserve()).
[ 4.042160] efi: efi memmap phys map 0x27ffcaf80
So, kexec_enter_virtual_mode() does the following :
if (efi_memmap_init_late(efi.memmap.phys_map, <---- refers to the new EFI memmap phys base allocated via memblock in efi_arch_mem_reserve(). efi.memmap.desc_size * efi.memmap.nr_map)) { ...
This late init, does a memremap() on this memblock-allocated memory, but then immediately frees it :
drivers/firmware/efi/memmap.c:
*/ int __init __efi_memmap_init(struct efi_memory_map_data *data) {
..
phys_map = data->phys_map; <----------------------- refers to the new EFI memmap phys base allocated via memblock in efi_arch_mem_reserve().
if (data->flags & EFI_MEMMAP_LATE) map.map = memremap(phys_map, data->size, MEMREMAP_WB); ... ... if (efi.memmap.flags & (EFI_MEMMAP_MEMBLOCK | EFI_MEMMAP_SLAB)) { __efi_memmap_free(efi.memmap.phys_map, efi.memmap.desc_size * efi.memmap.nr_map, efi.memmap.flags); }
map.phys_map = data->phys_map;
...
efi.memmap = map;
...
This happens as kexec_enter_virtual_mode() can only handle the early mapped EFI memmap and not the one which is memblock allocated by efi_arch_mem_reserve(). As seen above this memblock allocated (EFI_MEMMAP_MEMBLOCK tagged) memory gets freed.
This is confirmed by memblock debugging:
[ 4.044057] memblock_free_late: [0x000000027ffcaf80-0x000000027ffcbfff] __efi_memmap_free+0x66/0x80
So while this memory is memremapped, it has also been freed and then it gets into a use-after-free condition and subsequently gets corrupted.
This corruption is seen just before kexec-ing into the new kernel:

This EFI memmapphys map address 0x27ffcaf80 being mem-remapped and also getting freed and then in use after free condition (while setting up the EFI memory map for the next kernel with kexec -s) in the above logs confirm the use-after-free case.
Looking at the above code flow, it makes sense to skip efi_arch_mem_reserve() to fix this issue, as it anyway needs to be skipped for kexec case.
