Linux crashes on boot on SGI UV systems. git bisect tracked it down to commit cc5a080c5d40c36089bb08a8a16fa3fc7047fe0f. Undoing that patch fixes the problem. http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=cc5a080c5d40c36089bb08a8a16fa3fc7047fe0f ----------------------------------------------------------- linux$ git bisect bad cc5a080c5d40c36089bb08a8a16fa3fc7047fe0f is first bad commit commit cc5a080c5d40c36089bb08a8a16fa3fc7047fe0f Author: Matthew Garrett <matthew.garrett@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Apr 15 13:09:46 2013 -0700 efi: Pass boot services variable info to runtime code EFI variables can be flagged as being accessible only within boot services. This makes it awkward for us to figure out how much space they use at runtime. In theory we could figure this out by simply comparing the results from QueryVariableInfo() to the space used by all of our variables, but that fails if the platform doesn't garbage collect on every boot. Thankfully, calling QueryVariableInfo() while still inside boot services gives a more reliable answer. This patch passes that information from the EFI boot stub up to the efi platform code.
