Hmm... yeah NR_FIX_BTMAPS == 64, so early_memremap() is limited to
mapping ~200KB at once. That's not very big, your BGRT data is likely
much larger than that.
Obviously we can't use efi_lookup_mapped_addr() any more, so it makes
sense to come up with a much robust way to memremap the BGRT image.
The immediate solution that comes to mind is using memremap() instead
of the early_* version, since the late version won't use the FIXMAP
area and will allow us to map a much larger region into the kernel
virtual address space.
Digging through the history it appears I was the one who made the
switch from ioremap() to early_memremap() in commit 081cd62a010f
("x86/efi: Allow mapping BGRT on x86-32"), which I suspect was because
a generic memremap() implementation didn't exist at the time. Dan
Williams introduced one in Aug 2015 with commit 92281dee825f ("arch:
introduce memremap()").
Somewhat surprisingly, Juergen switched the BGRT driver from
early_memremap() to early_ioremap() in commit 954e12f7a800 ("x86/mm,
efi: Use early_ioremap() in arch/x86/platform/efi/efi-bgrt.c")
although I can't figure out why because this isn't I/O memory. And now
we're attempting to switch it back.
Juergen, could you provide a rationale for commit 954e12f7a800? All
the commit message says is that it's "an I/O-area", but that isn't
true.
In the meantime Môshe, could you try this patch ontop of the EFI
'next' branch? (Note it may not work/compile, but you get the gist)
