This warning is caused by efi_enter_virtual_mode mapping memory marked as !EFI_RUNTIME_MEMORY. The reason this memory is being mapped is to work around buggy code that stores an ACPI object called the Boot Graphics Resource Table - BGRT in memory of type EfiBootServices*. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:102 __ioremap_caller+0x3d3/0x440() Modules linked in: Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.9.0-rc7+ #95 Call Trace: [<c102b6af>] warn_slowpath_common+0x5f/0x80 [<c1023fb3>] ? __ioremap_caller+0x3d3/0x440 [<c1023fb3>] ? __ioremap_caller+0x3d3/0x440 [<c102b6ed>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x20 [<c1023fb3>] __ioremap_caller+0x3d3/0x440 [<c106007b>] ? get_usage_chars+0xfb/0x110 [<c102d937>] ? vprintk_emit+0x147/0x480 [<c1418593>] ? efi_enter_virtual_mode+0x1e4/0x3de [<c102406a>] ioremap_cache+0x1a/0x20 [<c1418593>] ? efi_enter_virtual_mode+0x1e4/0x3de [<c1418593>] efi_enter_virtual_mode+0x1e4/0x3de [<c1407984>] start_kernel+0x286/0x2f4 [<c1407535>] ? repair_env_string+0x51/0x51 [<c1407362>] i386_start_kernel+0x12c/0x12f ---[ end trace 4eaa2a86a8e2da22 ]--- On systems that do not have a BGRT object, there's no reason to map this memory in efi_enter_virtual_mode. This patch searches for the BGRT object and if found - will continue to map the boot services memory, else only memory with attribute EFI_RUNTIME_MEMORY will be mapped. Mapping only memory EFI_RUNTIME_MEMORY is is consistent with the code in arch/ia64/kernel/efi.c:efi_enter_virtual_mode(); Signed-off-by: Bryan O'Donoghue <bryan.odonoghue.lkml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/x86/platform/efi/efi-bgrt.c | 20 +++++++++++++++----- arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c | 12 +++++++++--- include/linux/efi-bgrt.h | 2 ++ 3 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/platform/efi/efi-bgrt.c b/arch/x86/platform/efi/efi-bgrt.c index 7145ec6..3655d62 100644 --- a/arch/x86/platform/efi/efi-bgrt.c +++ b/arch/x86/platform/efi/efi-bgrt.c @@ -25,19 +25,29 @@ struct bmp_header { u32 size; } __packed; -void __init efi_bgrt_init(void) +bool __init efi_bgrt_probe(void) { acpi_status status; - void __iomem *image; - bool ioremapped = false; - struct bmp_header bmp_header; if (acpi_disabled) - return; + return false; + bgrt_tab = NULL; status = acpi_get_table("BGRT", 0, (struct acpi_table_header **)&bgrt_tab); if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) + return false; + + return true; +} + +void __init efi_bgrt_init(void) +{ + void __iomem *image; + bool ioremapped = false; + struct bmp_header bmp_header; + + if (acpi_disabled || bgrt_tab == NULL) return; if (bgrt_tab->header.length < sizeof(*bgrt_tab)) diff --git a/arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c b/arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c index 5f2ecaf..7c64a2f 100644 --- a/arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c +++ b/arch/x86/platform/efi/efi.c @@ -842,6 +842,7 @@ void __init efi_enter_virtual_mode(void) u64 end, systab, start_pfn, end_pfn; void *p, *va, *new_memmap = NULL; int count = 0; + bool bgrt_map; efi.systab = NULL; @@ -855,6 +856,11 @@ void __init efi_enter_virtual_mode(void) return; } + /* + * Determine if mapping EFI boot code/data is required for BGRT mapping + */ + bgrt_map = efi_bgrt_probe(); + /* Merge contiguous regions of the same type and attribute */ for (p = memmap.map; p < memmap.map_end; p += memmap.desc_size) { u64 prev_size; @@ -884,9 +890,9 @@ void __init efi_enter_virtual_mode(void) for (p = memmap.map; p < memmap.map_end; p += memmap.desc_size) { md = p; - if (!(md->attribute & EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME) && - md->type != EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE && - md->type != EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA) + if (!((md->attribute & EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME) || (bgrt_map && + (md->type == EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE || + md->type == EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA)))) continue; size = md->num_pages << EFI_PAGE_SHIFT; diff --git a/include/linux/efi-bgrt.h b/include/linux/efi-bgrt.h index 051b21f..165426b 100644 --- a/include/linux/efi-bgrt.h +++ b/include/linux/efi-bgrt.h @@ -6,6 +6,7 @@ #include <linux/acpi.h> void efi_bgrt_init(void); +bool efi_bgrt_probe(void); /* The BGRT data itself; only valid if bgrt_image != NULL. */ extern void *bgrt_image; @@ -15,6 +16,7 @@ extern struct acpi_table_bgrt *bgrt_tab; #else /* !CONFIG_ACPI_BGRT */ static inline void efi_bgrt_init(void) {} +static inline bool efi_bgrt_probe(void) { return false; } #endif /* !CONFIG_ACPI_BGRT */ -- 1.7.10.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-efi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
